Chapter 343 Tough Battle (1/2)

A while later, five figures appeared in my field of view. 'Five of them. All of them are at the Inner Limits stage, I can feel that they are strong' I thought. I checked for any other people trying to hide their presence, but I found none. 'Let's see how strong Royals are' I thought to myself, and started walking towards them.

The five in front of me, slowed down, and also began walking towards me. They were all men. All of them wore armour, and all of them were older than me. What seemed like their leader, stepped forward and said, ”Give up. You can't run away now. Come quietly, and you will receive a fair trial”. I snorted, and replied ”Are you people blind? It was the Royals who hunted down Roland. I even saved his life, from your attacks. Talk about being a hypocrite”.

The guy shouted ”Silence! The filth like you, have no right to slander the Royalty! You are under suspicion of using the Filthy Arts! If you can prove otherwise, you will be free to go!”. I walked forward, and said ”You know, I always wanted to witness the strength of the so called Royals. Let me have that experience then”. ”Swoosh!”, I launched at the group in front of me. They weren't even surprised, and had their weapons ready. 'Two archers, and three swordsmen. Not a bad combination' I thought, and chose my first target, the archers.

These soldiers were no idiots. Archers immediately fell backwards, and began shooting arrows. I had a hard time evading them, but only because I used the basics skills I had. 'I hate to admit it, but these archers have skills way above my archery skills' I thought. I could tell that both sides were trying to test the waters. Although archers went all out, I was able to evade their arrows. The three swordsmen including the leader surrounded me, and released their attacks. I jumped upwards evading all of them, and released my String Hidden Weapon skill.

Ten daggers appeared out of nowhere, and floated around me. The leader shouted ”So it's true! Kill that filthy bastard!”. I smiled, and said ”Too late”, then released my skill at the three. The daggers created afterimages due to the speed. This was the most powerful attack, I could muster. The strongest skill, I learned.

The two swordsmen took a lot of damage, but managed to stay alive. The leader was not stupid, he immediately backed off, and received no damage. His men backed off too, but the damage was already dealt. Although my counterattack brought some results, the archers didn't just sit quietly. At least ten arrows arrived, and blocked my path of escape. I controlled my energy, and twisted my body in an unnatural way. Most of the arrows missed, but I still had to deal with one, which I couldn't evade. I used my right hand to deflect it.

”Boom!”

The arrow shattered, while I felt my right hand became a bit numb. 'They are quite strong… But, with their formation broken, I have my chance now' I thought, and rushed at the archers while taking out my bow. The archers backed away, and the swordsmen chased after me. I shot one arrow after the other, but the archers were too skilled.

'No choice then' I thought, and hid the bow back to my bag. The archers constantly shot arrows, and backed away. Even though they couldn't kill me, they could slow me down. I decided to care less about evading, and just go for the kill. I increased my speed, and used my right arm to deflect anything that could threaten my life, or seriously injure me. The scales on my right arm were very durable. Deflecting the arrows was possible, stopping them not so much.

Thanks to abandoning my defence, I managed to close the gap. They also managed to inflict some minor wounds on me, but my speed didn't suffer. When I got in range, I began throwing daggers.
