Chapter 258 - Hunting\'s Time - Part 3
Aren\'s jaw dropped in shock as he witnessed twelve parties, two Emerald Rank and ten Platinum Rank were destroyed by one person.
Firstly, thunder rained down the area, the big area, and the strong spell took down more than half of the adventurers. Not all of them died from the thunder, but most of them could no longer fight after the thunder struck them down.
For the surviving adventures, they were busy avoiding or blocking the thunder. Despite the numerical advantage, the adventurers could do nothing to the man who just stood on his original spot.
Aren\'s Magnifying Glass never left Tang Shaoyang. He then noticed the man transformed again. The lightning cloak disappeared, the man grew taller, his skin turned green, and his muscle bulked up. The transformation brought a huge change, and now Tang Shaoyang was over two meters tall.
\'As I thought, Mage was not his class, but what kind of class is that?\' He questioned himself.
"Should we retreat?" The archer Coral could not help but ask Aren. Looking at the situation, there was no need for them to wait longer. It was their loss, the man was far stronger than they thought to be.
"We will watch the fight for a bit longer. Gathering more information about this man, we can sell this information to the party who wants to take the quest. We can get the compensation for the time we wasted here by selling the information," Aren replied without looking back at Coral.
"Are you sure about this? What if that man finds our location too?" Karen was worried. Of course, after witnessing what that man could do with his power, the thing she wanted was to leave this place immediately and get to a safe place.
"It\'s okay, we are too far for him to notice. Moreover, Poli has set the traps and secured our path to retreat," Aren waved his hand, dismissing Karen\'s concern.
A pitch-black scythe appeared in the man\'s hand. It magically appeared in his hand, it was not something created by lightning like the sword before. It meant it was something he had with him, but how?
\'A skill? Or it\'s an advanced storage bag?\' Aren was guessing what happened with his limited knowledge.
While his thoughts were wandering around, the figure in the Magnifying Glass flashed. His pupils shook as he could not track where Tang Shaoyang went. Before, he would leave a trail of lightning behind so Aren easily followed his movement through the Magnifying Glass.
He moved the Magnifying Glass, it took him some time to track the man. Tang Shaoyang was standing amidst three Platinum Rank Adventurers, and he easily sliced them apart with the scythe.
After this, Tang Shaoyang did not use the movement skill but just rushed to the other adventurers.
"What was that just now? A skill? I am pretty sure that was a skill," Aren was confident with his judgment. The more he watched the fight he discovered the gap between him and the man was bigger than he thought.
"Evan is coming for him," Coral noticed a quick movement chasing Tang Shaoyang from the side. Evan was not alone, an archer and a mage followed him closely. Thanks to [Greater Sight], his vision covered a big area, and easily noticed Evan\'s movement from afar.
Evan was wearing plate heavy armor and a greatsword in his right hand. Despite the heavy equipment, Evan\'s movement was not hindered by the weight. His movement also made the least sound so the opponent won\'t notice him.
"He stops- He rushes toward us now, Evan!" Nina the Mage reported, "He\'s ahead of us, thirty meters!"
"How does he spot us?" Evan could not believe they were being spotted easily like this. Ahead of him were thick and tall bushes, he could not see the target but his friends told him the target was heading toward them. He could not think how the man spotted them, "Brent! Nina! Get ready in your position!"
[Charge]
After giving his friends instruction, Evan used his skill. Mana covered his shield and his figure dashed faster forward. He passed through the bushes.
Dang!
However, what he encountered was flying axes. His shield met with the axes, the force behind the flying axes was enough to stop his [Charge]. Evan scanned around, trying to find the target. However, he did not find the target until a shadow passed above him.
Evan subconsciously looked up and found the man leaped over the top of him. He turned around, Tang Shaoyang was chasing after his friend, Brent.
"Sh*t!" Evan tried to chase after Tang Shaoyang. However, the man was too fast for him.
"Sh*t! How could he find my position so fast?" Brent also noticed the target was chasing after him. He nocked three arrows at once on the bow and drew the strings.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The three arrows shot toward Tang Shaoyang, an arrow straight shot toward him while the two arrows wide to the side before curved toward Tang Shaoyang. Three arrows came from three different directions, of course, Brent was not expecting to take the man down with the simple trick he had.
He was using [Triple Shots] to slow down the man. Without using an arrow, he pulled the string once again. He pulled the string to the maximum stretch as a blue arrow formed up.
He was casting [Power Shot], a fast and powerful shot but the drawback was that the casting time. It took some time before he could shoot the arrow. However, before he could fire the arrow, the man\'s figure flashed toward him.
Tang Shaoyang tanked the arrow that shot straight to him, and he appeared again while holding an arrow in his left hand and a scythe in his right hand. At this moment, he only had a choice, canceling the skill and retreated.
The blue arrow disintegrated and he leaped backward. Tang Shaoyang was faster than him, the shiny tip of the black scythe sliced Brent\'s chest. The leather armor teared up along with the splash of red blood.
Brent thought he had barely avoided the disaster, but the real disaster was coming after that. Two axes were spinning in the air, accelerating toward him. His eyes went wide in terror.
The last vision was his friends, Evan and Nina rushed toward them from behind the man. The man\'s grin was the last thing he saw before it blanked out. The axes shot through his chest and destroyed his heart.
"Nooooo!" Evan\'s devastating scream rang out, "You b*stard!!!" He raised his greatsword and directed it toward Tang Shaoyang.
His body was glowing in red as the dark red aura covered the sword. It was the most destructive skill he had. A big projection of the great sword also formed on his back, it shot straight toward Tang Shaoyang along with his real sword.
At the same time, seven giant fireballs formed in the air, right above Evan, and the seven giant fireballs descended to Tang Shaoyang. The Mage and the Vanguard worked together to take down Tang Shaoyang. They did not care anymore about the quest. They just wanted to kill Tang Shaoyang to avenge their best friend.
Boom!
A huge mushroom explosion rose to the sky, engulfing a big area of the Orin Forest and also the innocent Platinum Rank Adventurers who were about to join the fight. In the center of the explosion, a giant greatsword stood out.
