Completely ignoring Lulune's gaze, Ryu took a step forward, leaning forward, about to transform into a gust of wind and leap away.
But at this moment.
18 “Hey hey hey!!!”
A harsh, arrogant shout rang out.
What followed was an intense aura that could not be ignored!
! !
Liu frowned deeply; the unexpected event she feared most had still occurred.
His whereabouts were discovered by a level 5 in the town.
Especially this violent werewolf Bert!
"I heard everything, you stinky elf!"
Bert grinned maliciously as he strode forward, casually slipping his hands into his pockets: "Stealing other people's things is against the rules in the dungeon."
"Now that I've seen it, I can't just sit idly by!"
“…This has nothing to do with you.”
Ryu's eyes were cold, her gaze fixed on Bert.
She was on high alert, ready to leap away at the slightest sign of her opponent's advance!
Yes, because of her wind-attribute magic, Ryu is able to fly briefly.
This is a major advantage she has over others.
Even a level 5 fighter couldn't stop her once she was halfway through the air.
The tricky part is that this "fierce wolf" Bert Roca is known for his leg strength.
His speed is definitely superior to Liu's.
They can even briefly float in the air by using the force of pushing off the ground.
Once you're entangled with him, it's hard to get away.
"What? You have the guts to steal it, but not the guts to protect it?"
Bert immediately saw through Ryu's tension; his animalistic instincts often proved highly effective in battle.
Just like now, he has already identified multiple angles from which Ryu might dodge.
Both sides are waiting for an opportunity.
It all comes down to who can't resist and makes the first move!
“You’re from Loki’s Familia!” Lulune recognized Bert and looked at him pleadingly. “Please protect me! This elf came at me without saying a word—”
"Shut up!" Bert roared, startling Lulune so much that she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You're so annoying with all that chatter! Get out of here if you don't want to die!"
Although Bert's expression was fierce, Lulune immediately understood his meaning.
Whether it's out of good intentions or kindness, the best course of action is to make a quick getaway!
She leaped up and fled like a squirrel escaping a fire.
Thus, only the two people facing off remained.
A gray-haired werewolf and a proud elf.
The two seemed to be absolute adversaries at their core; merely looking at each other was enough to generate disgust.
"Do you do this kind of thing often? You don't seem flustered at all," Bert said sarcastically. "You call yourself a noble elf, but you're just a shameless bandit."
Liu remained calm, raising the wooden sword forward, her voice still indifferent: "It's none of your business."
"It doesn't matter."
Bert's hostility grew stronger, and his beastly aura began to vibrate the surrounding air!
"If I don't like you, I'll just beat you up!!"
As he spoke, his body suddenly sank! The cracks in the stone steps beneath his feet scattered!
coming!
Liu's eyes narrowed!
"Eee-ha!!"
With a strange laugh, Bert's figure moved like a gray lightning bolt, rushing towards her at a speed far beyond Liu's imagination!
Liu immediately leaped into the air, and almost the instant she dodged, Bert's flying kick smashed a huge crater into the ground beneath her feet!
pat.
Liu gripped the hollow of the giant tree beside the stone steps with one hand.
She had already put the precious pearl into her bag; now, she only needed to focus on fighting the enemy.
The wooden knife is in hand, guarding the bottom.
But then, a loud whooshing sound came from above!
No way!
Without turning his head, Liu swung his wooden sword, turning around in mid-air like a swallow.
boom!
At the same time as she launched her attack, an incredibly powerful stomp arrived right in front of her!
The wooden sword clashed with the combat boots, and the one who naturally had the absolute advantage was Bert, who was level 5!
"Uh!"
Ryu was blasted downwards by the blow, but fortunately she drew her short sword from her waist and slid a distance along the tree trunk, reducing most of the impact.
Even so, with just one strike, the web between her thumb and forefinger holding the knife was already split open.
Speed, strength, agility—they are no match for him!
Ryu is the strongest at level 4.
But she was facing a top-tier level 5!
Bertroca, the wolf, has the following attribute values:
[Strength] B766 [Durability] C647 [Agility] B729 [Dexterity] S965
None of them were below grade C.
Its agility, symbolizing speed and agility, has even reached S-rank!
In terms of speed, it's even faster than "Hurricane" Ryu!
“The little thief is quite clever…” Bert looked at Ryu with great interest, as if he were sizing up prey.
"I originally wanted to trample you underfoot, but I didn't expect you to have some skills."
He spoke casually, but he showed no intention of stopping.
Bert had been waiting impatiently for the murderer to show up.
Perfect timing! I've run into someone with some skill; perfect for killing time!
Who knows, if we make a commotion, we might attract that murderer!
Just do it!
Bert's figure blurred into a phantom once again, and the explosive force of his push off the ground kicked up a cloud of dust behind him.
A gust of wind rippled around him, and the sight of him attacking head-on was terrifying!
However, Bert was eager to fight, and Ryuko had no intention of continuing the fight.
Don't even think about escaping!
But Bert had already seen through all of Ryu's moves!
This time, I won't let her avoid it again, no matter what!
The distance between the two was shortened in an instant!
357
As for Ryu, it seems he can't even react!
Is that really the case?
"Run if you should."
Eugene's words echoed in my ears.
Just as that immense sense of oppression drew ever closer, Ryuzo pulled out his hand from behind his back.
It was a strangely shaped object without a latch.
When in doubt, use a shock bomb!
boom! !
A violent flash of light, accompanied by a piercing buzz, exploded in front of Bert!
Out of caution, he turned sharply and came to a stop.
At the same time, a large amount of pungent smoke drifted into his nasal cavity. With just one breath, Bert experienced the most refreshing and invigorating feeling he had ever had!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
The werewolf's screams echoed far and wide.
Bert's face was contorted, his features almost squashed together.
His snot and tears flowed out at the same time, making him look extremely disheveled. His overly sensitive senses had backfired and caused him great harm!
"Fuck you!!!"
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
