Chapter 266 Summoned Tigers



THUD! The tiger's corpse fell to the ground, and the woman glared at it. "Rolan, we need to retreat. We don't have enough power to push

through them,"

^We need to retreat now and attack later. This is the only way we can push forward,^ She thought. Even with her fighting, they are far outnumbered.

Roar! Another tiger lunged at her, and she swung her sword to kill it. BAM! BAM! Two bandits fired their bolts at her simultaneously.

^Their plan is annoying. Have the tigers attack, and prevent us from defending or reacting by shooting bolts.^ CLANG! CLANG!

The woman deflected the bolts flying at her back and side and then tried to dodge the tiger paw. SLASH! Blood splashed as the tiger's claws hit her shoulder. She stepped back and looked at the monster.

CREEK! Ice froze her wound shut, "I need a shielder to watch my back. I can't dispatch the tigers alone."

"Our hands are full!" The shielders cried, there were more tigers prowling around, and leaving their spots could mean an instant loss.

The woman lifted her sword, "Fine, I will do it alone." She looked at the tiger approaching her while keeping an ear on the other bandits. She listened for the moment their crossbows fire.

As her concentration rose, she could feel something immense approaching. For a moment, she thought someone fired a large spell at her back.

CLAP! Arad jumped from the trees, swinging his sword down at full force. [Void dragon claw] With crescent darkness, Arad's sword cleaved the tiger from head to tail. BOOM! A large shockwave exploded as the steel met the bones, cracking the ground beneath Arad's foot as he used his full weight.

The woman felt a sharp pain in her ears, followed by a loud ringing. She glared at Arad's back with blurred vision, seeing him bend forward, and take a deep breath. She could see his armor shift as the muscles on his back tightened.

Arad exhaled, the veins on his arms and neck bulging as he looked at All the tigers. ^Good, exactly eight left,^ He tightened his grip so the sword would be as sharp as possible.

"Action Surge," Arad mumbled. VROOOOM! BAM! He disappeared from the woman's vision as a cloud of dust exploded, followed by a loud boom that rattled her guts.

With eight swings, Arad cleaved the other tigers in the blink of an eye. Sending a loud shockwave as he moved and sliced with [Void dragon claw]

The woman glared in shock, seeing Arad drift on one leg after the massacre, his eyes focused behind her. She turned and saw several bandits aiming their bows at him.

BAM! BAM! BAM! They fired.

Arad took a deep breath.

[Third void form: Black shield] Arad spun his blade, creating a black circle that absorbed the bolts into his stomach.

^What is this? An adventurer?^ The woman gasped, struggling to understand what was happening in front of her eyes.

ZON! Arad disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving her even more confused.

"Where did he go?" The bandits cried but soon felt a painful slash at their backs. Arad didn't leave them room to react.

The bandits spread out like scared hens, pointing their crossbows and swords at Arad.

One of the bandits ran all the way back and pulled a crystal from his pocket, "I call you out! Fangs of the hunt!" He smashed the crystal on the ground.

A gust of black smoke exploded, and a large black tiger with flames burning from its hide growled, glaring at Arad. "What do you think? My best summon!"

The knight captain growled, "So the endless stream of tigers for the past two days was from you. Accursed warlock."

The new tiger summoned was called the ember fang tiger. And it was twice the size of a normal tiger and bosted a strength beyond what humans could hope to achieve.

The knight captain knew that he would need at least ten people to take that monster down.

Arad glared at the tiger, "You're a big one." He smiled.

"Huh! Let's see you kill it!" The warlock shouted.

STAB! Arad appeared behind the warlock stabbing him in the heart, "Why would I? Die," He sliced the bastard in half.

The moment the summoner died, the ember fang tiger started rampaging, it didn't disappear as Arad hoped.

"Everyone! Get away, let it get lost in the forest!" The knight captain's plan was simple, let the monster run away. We don't need to fight it.

Arad wasn't the type that listen, and the ember fang tiger smelled quite nice. To him, it was a waste of food and exp to let it escape.

Thud! Arad grabbed the tiger by the tail, and everyone stared in disbelief, sweat dripping from their faces.

Arad swung his sword up, slicing the tiger's tail.

ROAR! The tiger roared, leaping away as Arad smiled, "Come back here," With those words, Arad's boots disappeared as he stood on the ground barefoot.

^Nina said to feel the tremors on the ground to predict the attack of a wild beast that can't be predicted by normal means.^ He tried to listen well, feeling each slight change in the ground.

Thud! Thud! The tiger lunged from left to right and swung its paw at Arad.

Arad lifted his sword and blocked the strike, getting sent flying to a tree. "I didn't feel that attack coming, I still need practice." He mumbled.

BAM! Arad stood and rushed at the tiger, dodging a paw strike with ease.

Thud! The tiger lept back, and swing another paw at Arad.

[Second void form: Mini roar] Arad shouted, sending a blast that deflected the tiger paw and stunned it for a second. "You aren't that impressive after all." He smiled.

That fight was like a crocodile facing a house cat, unfair.

CLANG! Arad swung his sword as the tiger stumbled back, [Void dragon claw] And cleaved the tiger's head, letting blood rain from the sky.

He then turned toward the other bandits, but he found them already dead.

The knights managed to win since Arad broke the bandits' formation.
