Chapter 99: Defeating the Enemy
"It's them!"
The four summoners exchanged looks, finally breaking through the alien's rank. Seeing Selena and Nathan were quite far away from them, they thought these two were planning to escape, so they increased their pace.
Suddenly, a wolf emerged from behind the tree and pounced on the Orc and Kobold.
Anubis shot his bandage at Lamia and the cat-person.
The Lamia pulled its glaive, surprisingly pulling Anubis as well. The cat people, on the other hand, chose to come closer to Anubis.
But before he could reach Anubis, Nathan's Deadly Claw appeared in its way, almost cutting him. If not for his fast reaction in blocking the Deadly Claw with his blade, his body would be severely injured.
Hence, the cat-person tried to remove the bandage so that he could change the target from Anubis to Nathan.
During that time, Nathan had looped around and approached the summoner.
"You!" The summoner hurriedly moved away as if he were running from him. Unlike what he expected, the summoner couldn't seem to fight on his own and had to rely solely on his beasts, unlike the students from the Frexia Academy.
Then again, his academy was known to be the best, while he didn't know where these people came from.
Nathan fired at the guy, but annoyingly, the enemy managed to avoid the bullet and hide behind a tree.
He wanted to chase after him, but the cat-person had just finished untying the bandage from his blade and headed to Nathan.
Anubis wanted to throw the bandage again, but the cat-person moved so fast that it reached Nathan first before Anubis' bandage arrived.
Nathan looked down, following the blade's movement. He slightly tilted his body in the opposite direction.
After that, Nathan grabbed the blade with his hands, taking advantage of the sturdiness of his coat as well as the glove to stop it.
Unfortunately, the cat-person was much stronger, resulting in Nathan getting blown away.
Nathan bounced once before coming to a full stop on his belly.
"Good! Capture him!" The summoner shouted, ordering the cat-person.
"Stop!" Anubis shouted while moving forward, but the glaive suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"Severed Ultima." The lamia shouted while waving her glaive, extending its attack.
Anubis ended up leaping into the air as the glaive cut down several trees behind him.
This way, no one could stop the cat-person from catching Nathan, who was lying on his stomach.
The cat-person wanted to catch him, but all of a sudden, Nathan brushed his coat with his left hand, revealing the right hand that sneaked in between his body and his left hand.
That right hand had already made a pistol sign as the bullet immediately formed.
"!!!" The cat-person wanted to get away, but it was too late. The bullet pierced through his chest. It barely missed his heart, but it didn't change that the injury was quite severe.
Nathan hurriedly turned around and kicked the cat-person's stomach.
"Meow!" The cat-person roared and grabbed Nathan's leg before throwing him away.
"Tsk!" Nathan clicked his tongue when his plan didn't work. He covered his entire body with Ena as his body bounced once before coming to a stop. He stood up without an injury because of Anubis.
However, this distance was what Nathan needed. He immediately faced Fenrir's opponent and formed the same bullet, ready to help Fenrir from an unexpected angle.
"!!!" The summoner was surprised and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"
The cat-person moved as quickly as possible in his current state, but to their surprise, Nathan had once again hidden one of his hands.
When the cat-person focused on the one making a gun sign, Nathan actually shot a bullet from his other hand toward the summoner.
The summoner panicked and tried to avoid it, but Nathan had expected it. In fact, he never intended to kill that summoner in a single shot.
The target was actually his foot.
"Agh!" the summoner screamed as it fell down.
The cat-person focused on Nathan because he had to stop Nathan from firing another shot. Unfortunately for him, Nathan had never intended to shoot another one.
The moment the cat-person was about to reach Nathan, the latter changed from the bullet to Deadly Claw.
"!!!" The cat-person raised his sword, albeit it was too late. He could only tilt its body sideways, but the ear was one step too late and got sliced by the Deadly Claw.
The cat-person gritted his teeth, but he wasn't in a position to do anything. In fact, Nathan took this opportunity to punch the hole that his bullet hit earlier.
"Meow!" The cat-person screamed in pain because of the stabbing pain that amplified the original pain he had to endure. He couldn't stop Nathan blowing his body with a punch.
Meanwhile, the lamia was panicking. On the one hand, she was able to stop Anubis to a certain extent, but the other two were being toyed with by Nathan.
Seeing the gap in her defense, Anubis swiftly slapped the lamia on the wrist and threw it to a tree.
"Kh." The lamia bit her lips, enduring the pain as the attack almost broke her ribs. She gathered her Ena on her glaive and swung it down.
The blade strike ran through the ground, forcing Anubis to stop it with his paw. Even then, the blade strike was powerful enough to push him back.
Unfortunately for the lamia, Anubis had never intended to come closer. He just wanted to make the lamia release that kind of attack so that it couldn't harm Nathan.
His true goal was to send forth the bandages to the summoner, who had a hard time moving.
"Summoner!" the lamia shouted, warning him, but it was too late.
The moment the summoner turned around, the bandages wrapped around his neck. "Gh!"
The summoner was struggling to break free, but that was when Nathan reached him, pointing his hand at the summoner's head.
"Don't move and recall them. If you don't abide, I'll shoot your head!"
