Chapter 41 Dire Situation

Rodney jumped from where he lay after getting thrown by the BOSS.

Then he slashed his katana sword at the hordes of zombies charging toward him relentlessly

All the zombies are not a significant threat to Rodney.

With his Stats, he could take care of them without worrying about getting hurt.

The problem was, this never-ending amount of them was extremely troublesome.

'If I take the artifact now, there's a high chance that I'll blow my cover off.'

Even amidst the endless attacks of the zombies, Rodney was still able to think. He thought about how he should take his next step.

'I have to think carefully.'

On the other hand, the rest of the group was struggling against the two BOSSes.

Eric was at the forefront with his Skill to create a light shield.

But he was at his wit's end when he had to withstand the attacks from two BOSSes that slam at his shield almost together.

*DANGGG!*

The large ax held by the other BOSS smashed into Eric's light shield.

That attack alone was strong enough to make him push backward and groan with agony.

From behind him Reed jumped up and create a sword slash toward the BOSS's hand.

They had learned not to land a direct hit on the BOSS' plate armor. Because it won't have much impact.

The sword slash sent by Reed aimed at the finger of the BOSS holding the axe.

*CRAAT!*

It turned out that the attack from the skill that had been raised to the maximum Level was enough to injure the BOSS.

As long as the skill doesn't land on the plate armor protecting it.

The BOSS' finger was cut off and fell to the ground. The sound of the roar of pain sounded thundering.

Not only that finger that fell. But the ax it was holding fell to the ground and made a loud clanking sound.

Reed screamed with joy in his heart knowing he had succeeded in wounding the BOSS as well as disarming it.

However, it is still far from the end.

"Sonya!" Reed shouted. "Your turn!"

After calling Sonya, Reed proceeded to fight off the zombie horde coming towards them with Mona.

Sonya, who already knew what she had to do, immediately pulled her bow.

Sonya's face grimaced slightly when she saw the condition of her bow. Would a ducktape enhance with Magic Power can work properly?

But Sonya immediately pushed that thought away.

There's no use thinking about it now. She just had to focus on fighting these BOSSes and hoped that her bow wouldn't break in the middle of an important situation.

Sonya activated [Hunter's Marker] towards one of the BOSS and started aiming.

*SYUTT!*

Sonya's arrow shot into the BOSS's eye. She knew that her arrow would hit the BOSS's eye without missing it.

And because the skill is already at the maximum level, there will be additional damage from the arrow.

*CRAATT!*

When the arrow stabbed into the BOSS's eye, blood immediately gushed out without stopping.

'The Bleeding status is in effect!'

Sonya smirked, even though she used more Magic Power to bring out the Bleeding effect, it was worth it against these BOSSes.

"Asqa!" Mona shouted.

Aska turned around when he heard the scream. She swiftly ran towards Mona and cast her skill.

A greenish light covered Mona's body which was full of scratches and scrapes.

In the blink of an eye, all those wounds had healed.

"Thanks!"

Mona then proceeded to slash the zombies around them.

While Asqa is glad she can help. She can no longer just hide behind the bodies of her friends.

When Asqa's [healing] skill is at max level, she can heal wounds almost instantly.

Asqa had just realized how useful she was when Clyde disappeared because he was thrown by the BOSS.

By reflex, Asqa immediately used her skill on anyone who was injured.

She was surprised to realize that she could do something like that.

"Asqa!"

Now it was Eric's turn to scream.

Asqa didn't even answer anymore. She immediately rushed closer to Eric and cast her skill.

Green light enveloped Eric's body and instantly his hand which was broken from enduring the BOSS's punch in front of him healed.

Eric didn't have time to thank Asqa because he was busily withstanding another blow that came from the BOSS.

In a way, the reason they have survived until now is because of Asqa.

"Shit! We have to retreat!" Sonya said.

She had fired arrows at one of the two BOSSes.

Her shoot speed coupled with [Hunter's Marker] skill allows her to land five shots on target in just a few seconds.

Her arrows stuck in both the BOSS's eyes, forehead, and forearms.

So that the BOSS received a stacked Bleeding status.

Blood flowed out from the wound caused by Sonya's arrows. Until it formed a pool of blood under that BOSS.

But even though it had been injured that badly, the BOSS didn't look weakened.

It's just that its movement became erratic because both of his eyes had been destroyed by Sonya.

That's why Sonya told them to back off. Without Clyde who being thrown far away, they would be in danger.

Apart from that, Rodney was also thrown somewhere. That only made their situation worse.

"Where to?" Reed asked. "You think we can get out of here?!"

Sonya gritted her teeth. Reed was right.

The zombies were surrounding them from all directions. There's no way out of here.

Sonya prepares to shoot again. At this rate, she can only continue fighting and hope that Clyde arrives on time.

Or until they can deal enough damage to kill the two BOSSes.

But the latter feels very unlikely.

Suddenly there was a pillar of fire soaring into the air.

Together with that, dozens of zombies were also thrown into the air in a scorched state.

The distance between the pillar of fire and them was not too far.

Those who saw it knew it was Clyde.

He managed to fight his way past hundreds of zombies that never stopped coming back to them.
