20demayo Chapter 79 Surprise Attack
Chapter 79 Surprise Attack
Anya scanned each person one by one. "Get ready. We're about to begin."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the group nodded, clearly pleased. After all, they were all waiting for this phase to end.
'Things are getting better and better.' Fred couldn't help but smile to himself. Everything he planned was going according to plan. Just as the intelligence he had received indicated, the underground city's terrain was forested, and it was raining continuously.
This allowed him to use his skills easily without being noticed; he skillfully combined mental energy with raindrops.
'However, this Hartley is a problem,' he thought.
The blue-haired guy was the first to realize something was wrong, and almost everyone was about to believe him.
'Luckily, this kid's a fool.' He turned to the man who had inadvertently saved his entire plan. 'Although I sensed something was off about him, this guy poses absolutely no threat to me.' He felt a strange sensation in the purple eyes, but Fred dismissed it.
"Let's go. Everyone get ready."
With those words, the team began to move, everyone ready for battle.
Anya stood at the very front of the group, shield raised high, spear ready. She was the tank of this operation, possessing special skills suited to the role.
Her shield is imbued with a taunting magic that enhances the effect of her skill [Taunt], drawing enemy aggro to her.
"Morse, you can begin."
After she finished speaking, Morse immediately raised his bow and enhanced the arrow with magic. His next task was to aim at the isolated goblins.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The arrows flew out at high speed, and most of them hit their targets accurately.
thump! thump!
As the monster's corpse fell to the ground, the goblin warriors' attention naturally turned to sound. The arrows made no sound, but the sound of them hitting the ground caught their attention.
"Roar!"
They let out a loud roar, mournfully wailing for their fallen companions.
Then, the goblin warriors guarding the entrance to the tribe noticed the intruders.
Roar!
With a threatening growl, they brandished their weapons and charged at Anya, who stood in front. But she was already prepared.
"Lead them here!"
Anya shouted, activating her [Taunt] skill.
Whoosh! Roar!
The effect was immediate; the goblin warriors' attention all turned to her, leaving her teammates to deal with the charging goblin horde.
Clang! Thump!
Anya swiftly and precisely blocked the first attack with her shield, the force reverberating through her arm. The goblin warrior staggered back momentarily, and in that instant, Anya launched a counterattack. Her spear pierced the monster's chest, emitting a low, agonizing scream.
Roar!
“Faye! Harry!” she immediately signaled to her teammates.
Whoosh!
Harry charged toward the enemy like a storm.
Spin!
Flames danced along the edges of her twin blades as she clashed with the goblin warriors with a series of precise strikes.
puff!
Her twin blades pierced the skin of the first goblin warrior. Caught off guard by Anya's provocation, the goblin remained completely unprepared.
Whoosh!
Beside her, Faye held her greatsword high, activating a skill that enhanced her physical strength.
"what!"
She swung her sword forcefully, joining the battle; the massive blade sliced through the air, adding to the fierce offensive against the enemy.
puff!
Blood gushed from the wound she had inflicted; Faye's sword had wounded the warrior. However, it was still not fatal.
clang!
Another goblin warrior lunged at Anya from the side, but Harry blocked it. Her twin swords clashed with the goblin's weapon.
The goblin desperately tried to match Harry's skill, its movements becoming increasingly frantic. However, because Harry's attacks couldn't penetrate its skin, the goblin was still able to defend itself, sustaining only shallow wounds.
"Lead them here!"
Anya's Provoke skill turned everything around. When the Provoke skill was activated, the goblin warriors' attention was temporarily drawn to her, who was wielding a spear and shield.
And this was the fatal blow.
In that instant, Harry and Faye seized the opportunity, their coordinated attack executed at the perfect angle.
Whoosh!
Harry brandished her twin swords, closing in on the goblin warrior she was fighting in a deadly dance.
"Flaming Blade".
Spin!
Flames danced on her blade, gleaming eerily in the dim light.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Taking advantage of Anya's distraction caused by her provocation, she launched a lightning-fast attack.
puff!
Harry's twin blades, enhanced by her exceptional skill and the fire enchantment, struck their target with unerring accuracy. They pierced the goblin warrior's tough skin and plunged deep into his chest.
"Roar!"
The goblin let out a low, mournful scream, its life force vanished instantly, and its blood splattered on the forest floor.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Faye raised her greatsword, gathering all her strength.
"Ahhh!"
Her body, enhanced by the power-boosting technology, became incredibly strong. She swung her greatsword, bringing it down with the force of a merciless executioner's axe.
boom!
Her attack was incredibly powerful, and the goblin warrior had no chance to defend against it. The greatsword sliced through the air, striking its target with astonishing force.
puff!
The goblin warrior's body was torn apart; the blade of the greatsword easily severed its bones. It let out a painful howl before collapsing.
With the fall of two goblin warriors, the tide of battle began to turn. The goblins, now without their leader, hesitated for a moment, startled by the sudden turn of events.
This hesitation provided Anya and her group with an opportunity. Their fierce attacks and coordinated teamwork demoralized the goblin warriors and caused turmoil among the young goblins.
......
"Giggle!"
Meanwhile, at the rear of the column, Ethan gripped his spear tightly. He was a talented warrior, but his experience was clearly lacking.
He watched in astonishment as Anya, Harry, and Faye battled the goblin warriors. Now was his time to prove himself.
Whoosh! Spin!
"Hartley's Spear - Kirin Sweep".
He recalled his family's techniques and relaxed his breathing. A wind began to surge within his body, and he instinctively manipulated the surrounding wind magic. This was a talent he himself was unaware of.
Everyone is working hard, so I should step up my efforts too.
Whoosh!
With a fluid movement, Ethan swiftly charged toward the goblin approaching from the side.
“Ethan, always remember, a spear is never a sword; it must be as fierce as a tiger and as swift as a cheetah.” He smiled as he recalled his father’s words.
'You're right, Father. Like a wild beast.'
Whoosh!
With another fluid movement, he swept away the legs of the approaching goblin.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
With skillful thrusting, he swiftly pierced the goblin's chest, his gaze focused and resolute.
giggle!
"What?" But just then, he saw a goblin hidden behind the leaves. His senses didn't detect it, as if he had never known there was a goblin there.
Whoosh!
Ethan sensed impending pain as the goblin attacked from his blind spot.
Whoosh! Thump!
However, the attack did not occur. Where he should have been attacked, a staggering figure stood, struggling to regain his balance.
"Morse."
An arrow pierced its chest.
"Thank you."
Ethan smiled and swiftly plunged his sword into the goblin's neck, instantly finishing it off.
Whoosh!
Although Emily was more experienced, she recognized Ethan's strength and talent, so she stood on the other side to fend off the goblins coming from there.
Her swordsmanship was precise and efficient, and she knew the importance of protecting those behind her. Although she was somewhat annoyed by someone behind her for some reason, it was not enough to cloud her judgment.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the forest. Emily stood firm, focusing on the challenge.
Whoosh!
However, the goblin onslaught continued relentlessly, and they seemed to appear in an endless stream. In the heat of battle, one of the goblins managed to break through her defenses, its rough blade slicing across her arm.
"Ah!" Emily frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her arm. Blood gushed from the wound, staining her armor crimson. She couldn't stop; she couldn't back down now.
Her posture was slightly unsteady. She had experienced countless injuries and was not the kind of person who would back down because of a little pain.
"Ha..." She gritted her teeth and continued to push forward.
However, at that moment, she felt her body gradually relax and was enveloped in a warm light.
"I...I'll help you."
A stuttering voice came from behind her, and she looked at the man whose hands were glowing.
Fred sensed her distress and quickly used his healing skills to repair the wound and stop the bleeding with his own magic.
cure
Emily felt the pain gradually subside as the healing power of the magic began to take effect.
"Thank you."
Whoosh!
With renewed resolve, she continued to fend off the goblin attacks. Her sword, like a whirlwind of death, swiftly dispatched the attacking goblins.
Whoosh! Thump!
Beside her, Morse, as an archer, protected her from behind. His arrows were accurate, felling any goblins that dared to approach Emily from a distance. He silently provided cover amidst the chaotic battle.
"Tsk..."
In the atmosphere of battle, Emily was unaware that she was becoming increasingly tired and that her emotions were fluctuating more intensely than usual.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Morse stood at a safe distance and continued to fire arrows at the approaching goblin army.
Although his arrows weren't fatal, they were still effective, successfully holding back the enemy. That was enough for the team.
'I'm not here to kill goblins. My mission is to cover them and observe this guy.'
The goblins approached quickly, but he sent Ethan and Emily to deal with them first, while he and Fred provided support from the rear.
His eyes remained alert, watching for every movement around him. If anyone needed help, he would shoot an arrow to intercept the goblin's movements.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
As the battle raged, the sound of clashing steel and battle cries echoed through the rain-soaked forest.
The remaining goblin warriors and their sinister shamans emerged from the hut, sensing the impending defeat of their companions.
Roar!
