Chapter 394 - CABIN IN THE WOODS (2/2)

”Okay. Eclipse and I will cover you.”

[That's right, Captain. Mashter and Eclipse will kill all the monsters!] – the little fox also shouted even though he knew that his favorite captain wouldn't be able to hear him.

”Then, I'll start now.”

After Shen Ji Yun said that, he rushed towards the cabin. Luo Yan and Eclipse also followed him. On their way, Shen Ji Yun killed the monster in front of him while Luo Yan and Eclipse killed any monsters trying to attack them and Shen Ji Yun.

Once he was about a few feet away from the cabin, Shen Ji Yun raised his sword and slashed towards the cabin. As expected, he encountered resistance. He continued to attack. But this barrier seemed to be really quite strong. He didn't worry about his back, because he knew that Luo Yan would be there to guard him. Even now, as he concentrated on destroying the barrier, he could hear Luo Yan and the little fox defending him from behind.

But he knew he couldn't prolong this or it wouldn't take long before Luo Yan was overwhelmed. So, he decided to use one of his skills – [Dimensional Slash]. It was a simple attack that could destroy anything made up of Mana. No matter how strong it was, as long as it's made up of Mana, it would be easy for him to destroy.

He held the hilt of his sword with both hands. He raised it up and activated the skill as he slashed down the sword. A purple crescent shaped energy appeared and attacked the invisible barrier. As it reached the barrier, a strong collision happened. The purple energy against the invisible barrier. And then, a hole on the barrier appeared. The hole slowly turned into a bigger and bigger crack. Until the barrier broke like tiny pieces of glass shards.

After that, he didn't waste time and immediately rushed forward. He turned his eyes from left to right, from up to down, searching for any suspicious item. Finally, he saw a slightly glowing black stone that was part of a wind chime hanging on the veranda of the cabin. The stone looked like it was the darkest night with thousands of stars shining.

If he didn't look carefully, he would probably have missed it. He could see that the stone was not an ordinary stone. Anyway, if he's wrong, he could just look for another suspicious item.

So, he slashed at the wind chime. When it fell, he quickly crushed the black stone. Black smoke came out of the stone. When he saw it, he knew that his hunch was right.

After that, he didn't hesitate to join Luo Yan in killing the remaining monsters. This time, after they defeated all the monsters, another batch didn't come unlike earlier.

”Brother Ji Yun, how did you know that it was that black stone that was causing the monsters to react that way?” Luo Yan asked.

He had seen how Shen Ji Yun didn't hesitate to destroy the black stone hanging on the wind chime. It didn't even take him a second to decide that it was that stone that was causing the monsters to instantly appear after they just cleared this area.

Shen Ji Yun shrugged. ”I just guessed.”

Luo Yan gave him a thumbs up. ”Good guess.”

Eclipse jumped to his master's shoulder and said, [Mashter, Captain is so great. He could even guess it so correctly and quickly!]

Luo Yan was about to flick Eclipse's forehead for being such a fanboy again when they suddenly heard a horrified cry behind them.

”What did you do?”

They all turned back and saw a male NPC with short messy white hair. Its fringes almost covering the upper half of his face. Because of that, none of them could see his expression properly. But Luo Yan had a feeling that it must be full of fear. Seeing the NPC's pointed ears, he already had a guess in his heart on who he was.

Was this guy Lhoris?
