Chapter 578 - 401 Mastery of the Legendary Magic Wand_2
Chapter 578: Chapter 401 [Mastery of the Legendary Magic Wand]_2 Chapter 578: Chapter 401 [Mastery of the Legendary Magic Wand]_2 While hunters aren’t very strong in directmbat, they are still much better than assassins.
Welber’s heart was filled with doubts, but with the arrow already on the string, he had to let it fly. He quickly drew his short sword and stabbed towards his target.
As he closed in, Welber got a clear look at the target’s appearance.
It was a handsome human youth, the deep gray glow of the longbow in his handsnfirming that he was the one who had launched the attack.
Not an elf?
Feeling doubtful, Welber didn’t hesitate with his short sword as he aimed for the opponent’s neck.
Suddenly, Welber saw the youth’s eyes.
Those eyes, relaxed yet with a hint of… taunt?
Before Welberuldmprehend what was happening, he felt as if his right hand, wielding the short sword, had hit an iron wall thatuldn’t be shaken.
Only then did Welber notice that the young man had merely lifted his left hand, using the black hand armor on it to block his attack.
How is this possible?
This was his all-out strike!
For a moment, Welber was so dumbfounded that heuldn’t believe what he was seeing.
To block his attack with just one hand, and without any sign of effort, meant that the youth had far surpassed him in strength attribute.
This shouldn’t be, both the assassin profession and hunters are enhanced in agility.
How did this young man do it? Could it be the effect of some special equipment or item?
Although he was deeply shocked, Welber didn’t pause. Missing his strike, he retreated to create distance and watched the young man cautiously.
A slight smile appeared on Lis’s face as he looked at the Golden Hunter Welber standing not far in front of him.
Quitenfident, aren’t you? That makes things easier!
Putting away the longbow in his right hand, Lis had a thought, and his body suddenly turned into a deep gray shadow and disappeared from the spot.
“Not good!”
Seeing this, Welber, who was ready to test the waters with another attack, quickly turned to look toward where hismpanions were.
There, Lis appeared next to the two unscious elves, his silhouette merging into a swift shadow as he approached his two fallenmpanions, and instantly returned to his original position, with a few drops of scarlet blood dripping from the dagger in his hand.
In Welber’s eyes, his last twompanions looked horrified as they clasped their necks, but no matter what, theyuldn’t stop the gushing blood and, after struggling for a bit,uld only helplessly fall to the ground.
At this point, only Welber was left of the Black Panther Slave Hunting Group.
“Damn it!”
Welber’s face darkened as he watched Lis from a distance, wiping the blood off his dagger.
By now, he was well aware of the young man’s motives.
He used a longbow to kill the twompanions who werentrolling the elves, luring him out in the process, and finally, using the “Shadow Shuttling” skill to quickly approach and take down the remaining twompanions.
Everything this man did was to save the two captured elves.
He was worried that he might simply kill the two elves if the situation turned against him.
Even though he understood the opponent’s motives, Welber was out of options.
The two elves were now under thentrol of the other party, and he hadmpletely lost his bargaining chip.
As for defeating this young man in front of him, Welber had no suchnfidence.
In the brief eunter with Lis, Lis’s strength and elusiveness had left Welber without any belief that heuld defeat Lis quickly.
The proficiency and speed with which Lis used “Shadow Shuttling” also made clear to Welber that, despite Lis’s young age, he was an experienced fighter, certainly not someone who had only recently broken through to Golden Rank.
There’s no other way!
Glaring at Lis one last time, Welber chose to immediately turn and enter the forest, leaving the area.
“Ho, that decisive, huh?”
Lis hadn’t expected the Golden Rank hunter to be so resolute, giving up the captive elves and leaving the scene without hesitation.
Casting a few Protection Magic spells to safeguard the two elves lying on the ground and sending a message to Cecil tome over, Lis teleported after the fleeing Welber.
He had no intention of leaving any loose ends.
After all, it’s the dead who are most trustworthy!
Now that the two elves were under his protection, Lis wasn’t worried about Welber’s desperate struggles.
…
“Is this guy insane?”
Welber, feeling immense pressure from behind,uldn’t help but curse aloud.
I’ve already given up on those high-end goods, so why is he still chasing me?
Welber thought that the young man was engaging in some treacherous theft, attacking him to snatch the elf slaves.
He had seen this kind of thing before, and he himself had done it as well.
“Being part of a slave capturing team, who cares about rules?”
This was also one of the reasons why Welber decisively gave up on the elf slave.
“I’ve given you everything; you should let me go, right?”
However, Lis, like a bone-sticking maggot, followed closely behind, and even with his Gold-level Hunter prowess and extensive experience in the Elf Forest, he failed to shake Lis off.
The distance was even closing in!
There was no escape!
Feeling the presence of Lis behind him, Welber clenched his teeth and stopped in his tracks.
With a wave of his right hand, several dim wisps of Spirit Light flew from his hand, landing on the ground and tree trunks in front of him, then he took out his longbow and aimed it behind him.
Hunter Advanced Combat Skills [Arrow Rain Storm]!
Welber’s right hand became a blur as he rapidly fired the longbow,untless arrows imbued with a pale blue glow flying straight ahead, like a fierce storm.
The myriad arrows destroyed everything in front of them, turning branches and green leaves into dust in the face of the powerful assault, scattered by the fierce wind.
Moments later, Welber’s right hand trembled untrollably, and he ceased his attack, watching the dust kicked up by the Arrow Rain.
“Impressive; you’ve even mastered this skill.”
“No wonder you dare to capture elves in the Elf Forest.”
Hearing the voice from within the dust, Welber turned pale.
Lis waved his hand, and a clear breeze swept away the dust in front of him, allowing Welber to clearly see Lis’sndition.
He saw the young man before him holding a magic wand as green as jade, his body shielded by several layers of pale white barriers, smiling at him.
If it were not for the clearings around Lis, different from the forest, the exposed black soil and the traces of blade scars, Welber would have thought that his recent attack had never happened.
But the situation was certainly beyond his expectations.
Is this young man a Mage?
A truth as improbable as a fairy tale presented itself before Welber, leaving him in a state ofnfusion.
How is this possible? Whether it’s the assassin skills he had just used, or his strength far surpassing Welber’s, neither seemed remotely related to a Mage, right?
“Do you have a twin brother?”
Welber asked woefully, looking at Lis.
What nonsense?
Lis looked at Welber with amusement. Had the man lost his wits from the shock?
He hadn’t even landed a heavy blow yet!
Moving his magic wand, Lis sent several azure fireballs towards the open ground and trees in front of Welber.
Crack!
The azure flames spread, and a distinctive sound indicated that something had been hit.
Welber’s face changed, instantly darkening.
Such caution; the traps he had hastily set had all been divered by the opponent.
So savvy;uld the person opposite be some old monstrosity?
As Welber was about to say something, he saw Lis’s fierce storm of Magic Attacks flying towards him.
Lisuldn’t be bothered to speak any further with this man, a mere “poaching” ringleader, not even worthy of being recruited.
…
Before long, Lis was standing on Welber’s body, now like a rag, and opened up the system panel.
