Chapter 221 A Matching Foe (2/2)

Others didn't stand there watching, and attacked as well. I had to utilise my Natural Path skill, in order to evade the attacks. 'The leader seems to be the strongest, I should take care of others first' I thought, and backed away a bit from the leader. He immediately figured out my intentions, but with my strength, I managed to get away from him. He shouted ”Watch out! He is coming after you guys!”, but it was too late. I appeared behind the guy with a shield, and used my Pressuring Dagger skill.

”BOOM!”

To my surprise, something unexpected happened, and I was blasted backwards. The guy I attacked, was fine. They quickly tried to grab that occasion, but I managed to escape. 'Just what was that thing? As if my attack hit some kind of barrier, then bounced me of' I thought. The Leader engaged me in the battle again. He was trying to focus my attention on him. I had other plans, and used 100% of my strength, to push him back.

I then sped towards the woman, who seemed to be the weakest. But then out of nowhere, I got rammed from behind. I lost my balance and I was about to hit the ground. I reacted quickly, and used my hands to push myself further away. The distance between me and the group, increased again. When I looked behind, it was a guy with a large sword, that rammed into me. For some reason, he didn't use the sword to attack. 'These guys are no amateurs. If I can take out one or two of them, I will have a much easier time. The five of them makes a good team, I hate to admit. Time to take this a bit more seriously' I thought.

I quickly took out my bow and arrows. They seemed surprised, while I started shooting. One of them shouted ”Shit! Retreat! He is also an archer!”. They tried retreating, while I shot at the guy with the shield. ”SWOOSH!” ”SWOOSH!” ”SWOOSH!”

I shot three arrows, one after the other. He managed to evade one, but the other two were on target. Then, something made them change course. 'It's not their skill. Now I know, why I was pushed backwards, when I tried to backstab that guy. Their clothes or some kind of items on them, have Formations. No wonder I have such a hard time killing them' I thought.

This was bad, truly bad. I hid my bow, and prepared to deal with them differently. I pressed my legs into the ground, and launched.

”BOOM!”.

Someone shouted ”He's coming!”. I released my condensed Domineering Aura, my target was the shield guy. When I arrived in front of him, time seemed to slow down for him. I didn't aim at the parts where his clothes were, I aimed for his neck, which was not protected.

”SWISH!” ”CLING!”

I jumped back, and noticed that my arm became numb. 'This guy… He has an Aura as well' I thought. It was that leader guy. He used his own Aura, to overcome mine, and blocked the attack. 'They are truly a perfect team. If that is the case, I have no other options. I need to use Frosty's strength' I thought, and prepared for the next bout.
