Chapter 286 - Fiery Buffalo (1) (1/2)

”Let's take a break for 15 minutes!” The guard's leader announced.

”Finally, time to rest.” Sleight Hand relieved. He sat down beside Auron.

Before, Sleight Hand didn't have a chance to talk a lot of things with Auron. Now, with the resting time, he could finally speak with Auron.

”Hey, how long have you join this mercenary's group?” Sleight Hand started.

Auron looked at Sleight Hand and answered, ”Just recently.”

”Are you a new player?” Sleight Hand asked once again because he saw Auron's level was low.

”Yes.” Auron lied.

”Do you have any questions or concerns? I was a mage before I create a thief. Maybe, I can help you.” Sleight Hand offered his help

”No,” Auron answered shortly.

The atmosphere became awkward since Auron answered shortly. It seems Auron was creating a barrier between himself and Sleight Hand. With no choice, Sleight Hand became quiet.

However, Sleight Hand was not someone who could stay still. Since he could not talk to Auron, then he spoke to the others. ”Hey, I am a new thief. Can you teach me about it?” He asked a nearby thief NPC.

Five minutes after the convoy started to take a break, a monster appeared near them. The group could no longer take a break anymore. They immediately stood up and took out their weapon.

This area was the territory of [Fiery Buffalo]. Its appearance was just like ordinary buffalo. What made it different was at the tip of its horn. At the tip of the buffalo's horns, there was a small fire. Besides, its body color was a little bit reddish.

The buffalo saw the convoy and immediately charged at the caravan. When charging, the fire in [Fiery Buffalo]'s horn would become bigger and shroud its body in the fire.

An [Ice Bolt] shot towards the charging buffalo. Since the buffalo had a fire element, then a fire elemental attacks would not work on it. A water-based attack would work effectively against it.

Of course, one [Ice Bolt] means nothing to the buffalo. It could not stop the buffalo's charge. The swordsmen tried to stop the buffalo's assault. However, it was not an easy thing to do.

The guard's leader went up to the front and tried to stop the buffalo. As the buffalo was shrouded in flame, the guard's leader had to endure the burn effect coming from the fire. Fortunately, he had clerics by his side.

The buffalo hit the target, a swordsman. The swordsman flew up in the air because of the impact. And, that was not all, the fire that shrouded the buffalo moved and wrapped the swordsman's body.

The swordsman was flying and burning. Fortunately, a cleric had a quick reaction. She immediately used [Cure] to dismiss the burn effect and heal the swordsman upon impact. The swordsman was saved.
