Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent - Chapter 366: Roger Varanholf
Chapter 366: Roger Varanholf
“That is a Catastrophe-Grade monster!” Dontos frowned as he looked at the Draconic Lion hovering above the clouds.
As confident as he was, he knew for sure that he couldn’t defeat a beast at this level on his own.
I need that guy’s help. Perhaps we can take it down if we work together.
He thought about a certain person.
While he was occupied with his own thoughts, the beast suddenly spat out a breath of flames upon him.
Whoosh!
The searing heat from the flames burned the grassland and turned it into a barren land!
Meanwhile, Dontos was forced to stimulate his energy core to bring out immense mana to protect his body.
However, even with the thick layer of mana protecting him, he still found the heat unbearable.
It’s burning my flesh!
He gritted his teeth and rushed out, trying his best to get as far away.
Roar!!
Like a relentless ghost, the Draconic Lion chased him while spewing out flames at every chance.
Boom! Boom!
The vast grassland was slowly becoming a sea of fire as the pursuit continued. Many of Harune’s troops were also implicated. The poor soldiers didn’t possess Dontos’ vast mana pool. They weren’t able to extinguish the beast’s fearsome flames and were burned into ashes!
Damn it! I might really die here if that guy doesn’t come here!
Dontos gritted his teeth, his face turning pale. He had expended a large amount of mana to protect himself. Once his energy core was emptied out, he would be left completely defenseless!
Suddenly, a bright ray of light appeared on the horizon.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Dontos grinned.
He finally decided to make a move! That bastard really loves to show up at the last minute.
It turned out that the light was actually a mana arrow! The blue arrow flew at lightning speed towards the Draconic Lion!
Boom!
Did he get it?
Dontos turned his head and squinted his eyes. A thick cloud of smoke obscured his vision so he used his spiritual perception to sense the presence of the beast.
To his surprise, the beast didn’t seem to be affected. Its aura was still as vigorous as it had been, as if the blue mana arrow was nothing more than a bug bite.
When the cloud of dust settled, everyone saw the Draconic Lion completely unharmed. Its majestic body was flawless with no marks of injury.
“A Catastrophe-Grade monster is indeed different…” A nonchalant voice drifted as a figure dressed in steel armor with a blue cape appeared out of nowhere.
In his left hand was a longbow, shining with magical lights. The various inscriptions on its body lit up with dazzling colors.
At a glance, anyone could tell that his longbow wasn’t just a mere relic-level weapon. Just the inscriptions engraved upon it exuded overwhelming energy that could make one’s heart palpitate with fear!
“What took you so long? It almost got me!” Dontos snorted with a hint of annoyance. If Roger had come any later, he would have been forced to use his trump card.
Roger sent him a look, making the other feel uncomfortable. “If only you had followed Sir Limuel’s strategy, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Dontos looked away and replied in a displeased tone. “Why do I have to follow that old man’s strategy? I’ve had enough of his nonsense!”
“Roger, we could have ended this battle if we had attacked from the start!”
Roger didn’t bother to argue with him. “Enough. Save your breath. We must deal with that monster first!”
After saying that, he pulled the bowstring and released a succession of blue mana arrows!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This was the engraved ability of his longbow, Blue Star Arrow! It was a skill engraved by a 4-Ringed Beast Soul Grandmaster!
Each arrow was fast and capable of tearing apart the enemy’s flesh upon contact! Just one hit was enough to kill a Transcendent Knight! Even Mythical Knights would be injured once struck by his arrows!
At this moment, Alaric who was standing on Zephyr’s back also felt the power of the arrows. Just the pressure they emitted sent chills down his spine!
That longbow must be on the same level as my Frigid Dragon Sword! So that’s how powerful an epic-level weapon is when used by a Mythical Knight! I wonder how strong my sword would be once I reach that realm…
While he was marveling at the power of the longbow, Zephyr finally took action. It swiped its paws and summoned several flame spears!
When the flaming spears and the blue arrows struck each other, a series of explosions rocked the mountain pass!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shockwaves caused tremors that destroyed the traps all around the mountains.
“Our traps have been destroyed!” Shouted a warrior from the fortress.
The old strategist, Limuel, also noticed this so he immediately commanded all their forces to attack.
“Charge! Destroy the fortress and kill the dogs of Astania!” The old man shouted while flourishing his horsetail whisk.
Following his commands, Harune’s army rushed forward with great momentum!
Their loud battle cry shook the mountain pass, instilling a wave of anxiety in the soldiers defending the fortress!
We must take this chance while that monster is being held back by idiot Dontos and Lord Roger. Once we occupy the fortress and establish a foothold, we can focus our attacks on their western territories without having to worry about being attacked from behind!
Limuel thought to himself as he watched their troops charge towards the fortress.
The Catastrophe-grade monster was a big variable to his plan and it made him feel an ominous sensation.
I need to take action myself to get things done quickly!
Thinking about this, he jumped onto a Disaster-grade armored monster elephant.
“Let’s go and kill those Astanian dogs!” He shouted while urging his mount to follow the charge.
A team of twenty Elite Knights circled him, protecting him from any threat. With this level of protection, he was confident that he would be safe as long as the Catastrophe-grade beast wouldn’t attack him!
