*Bam!*
The giant let out a wail as his back fell to the ground. Still, Nidhogg was in the sky, so the giant hurriedly got back on his feet. He hadn't landed even a single hit on Nidhogg this whole time, making him both embarrassed and desperate.
Meanwhile, the same couldn't be said to others.
Fenrir and the orc had a similar situation. The orc's left hand was already gone, while Fenrir's body had been covered in injuries.
The angel and the fallen angel were also having a hard time against their respective opponents, especially since they usually fought against their opponents with Sera's help.
However, the situation would soon change, as the key to that change was none other than Nathan.
The bandit leader ran forth, testing a new strategy.
Nathan shot him, but the bandit leader jumped to the side, skillfully avoiding it. Nathan shifted his aim and released another two bullets, forcing the bandit leader to hide behind a building.
When Nathan was about to shoot him through the building, the bandit leader suddenly smashed the building with his axe, causing the dust to fly into the air.
He thought this was another smoke screen, so he was prepared to blast him again, but he was wrong.
The bandit leader actually hit the rubble toward him.
"!!!" Nathan was startled. He instinctively formed a barrier and covered his body with Ena, but he was too late.
The barrier didn't form large enough to cover his upper body, resulting in the rubble hitting his stomach.
"Gah!" Nathan felt like his organ was being smashed. He coughed some blood.
If not for his Ena, that would have been fatal. Fortunately, Anubis paid attention and healed him right away.
After seeing how effective it was, the bandit leader immediately hit another rubble. Fortunately, the barrier had fully formed and stopped the second rubble.
As if he didn't care, he kept hitting the rubbles in rapid succession, taking advantage of the dust cloud to attack Nathan without showing himself.
It was painful, but the coat withstood those bullets.
"This is the end for you and your petty trick!" The leader roared while enduring the pain. He stretched his hand toward Nathan's neck.
Still, Nathan summoned five bullets and only fired three. The other two bullets were actually looping around him from below.
Yes, Nathan shot the two bullets to the ground. Because there was rock underground, they had no choice but to destroy the soil first before emerging. Hence, Nathan gave them the same trajectory, but released the second bullet a split second after the first one.
As a result, the first bullet broke down the soil, and the second one finally emerged from the ground and hit his right thigh.
"!!!" The bandit leader felt the excruciating pain as he lowered his head, finding his right leg falling to the ground. Thanks to Sera, that bullet was actually enough to rip apart his leg. However, he wasn't planning to fall without a fight.
With the last bit of his strength, he punched Nathan's chest, cracking two ribs and blowing him away.
"Kh!" Nathan bounced several times on the ground before stopping right in front of Sera.
"Are you alright?" Sera panicked, not knowing what to do.
Even though blood was coming out of his mouth, Nathan actually smiled.
"Anubis. It's time for you to shine." His wound was healed once again, but this wasn't the only thing that shocked the leader.
All of a sudden, the rat-person crashed into the building not far from him, with Brunhild following right after. There wasn't a single injury on her body, which meant she either overpowered the rat-person or she had recovered.
Yet that wasn't the extent of Nathan's plan. His real plan involved Fenrir, the angel, and the fallen angel.
All three of them suddenly raised their heads and noticed something. There was a surge of Ena that enveloped their bodies, rapidly healing their injuries. It turned out they were within Anubis' healing range.
That was right. The reason Nathan told Anubis and Brunhild that he would take care of the bandit leader, as well as asking them to match his movement, was none other than positioning.
Anubis' healing range was quite 20 meters (65 feet). He could sense Fenrir's location, so the only thing he needed to keep track of was the angel and the fallen angel.
He had been sneakily moving closer and closer to their position. And finally, those three could finally fight at their peak state once again.
This was the plan that Nathan had in mind when suggesting Sera summon Brunhild.
