Chapter 22: Protecting the Vehicle (3)
Myles's first reaction was to make a backflip but he realized that it wasn't currently possible! Since his hands were currently occupied!
"I need to think of something else," Myles thought to himself as he saw the enemy getting closer.
The guy with a spear grinned when he saw him falling into despair.
"Face it, you don't have any paths of escape" The spearsmen grinned
Myles ignored his words like he didn't exist in the first place. He started to think about what to do.
As he was thinking what to do, he heard the sound of gunshots resounding through his ears.
The spearsmen pushed him backward upon hearing the sounds of gunshots. He was sent flying a few cm backward.
Just a second later, a rain of bullets descended on the ground where the spearsmen were currently standing!
Myles knew that it was the work of his teammates. Hence, he didn't even look at the direction of the gunner.
He looked towards his left and saw that the enemy was less than a meter from striking him. He determined he would be able to hit him in 3-5 seconds.
However, it was enough time for him to get off safely. Using the remaining time, he made a backflip, the claws of the enemies flew past in front of him.
"I am safe," Myles mumbled.
Not only was Myles safe, but an opening to strike the enemy was created. The enemy will take at least some time to retract his weapons. Hence, the defense of the opponent was too low currently.
Without any intention of letting this opportunity slip by his hands, Myles quickly landed on his two feet and prepared to counterattack.
He swung his sword by 180 degrees intending to deal a fatal slash at his opponent.
However, his opponent's reaction time was much higher than he expected! Before his sword managed to stab him, his enemy had retracted his claws.
Right after retracting his claws, he quickly used his claws to block Myles's incoming attacks.
A loud metallic sound was produced upon the collision of a metal colliding with one another!
"Damn it!" Myles cursed as his attack had failed.
Mustering up all of his remaining strength, Myles tried his best to push him backward.
However, to his horror, he realized that he was even stronger than the one wielding a sword! Hence, no matter how much he tried, he was slowly but surely being pushed backward.
"I need to hold on!" Myles thought to himself.
He tried his best to push him backward or at least maintain a stalemate. However, just a few seconds later, he was sent flying towards the vehicle. Hence failing to keep up.
His enemy had no intention of letting him off so easily. Hence, he charged toward him as he was flying backward.
"Damn it" Myles cursed as he realized how much of a severe situation he was in.
He was defenseless currently since he couldn't dodge or block any attack in the air! As his enemy neared him, he started to think of a way to break his flight.
He gave it a thought for a few seconds but it was far too late. His enemy was less than a meter away from him, knowing that he couldn't do anything to avoid his attack. Myles just accepted his fate, hoping he would be able to survive.
"Come!!" Myles shouted without any hint of fear or despair.
His enemy didn't pay attention to his words, he swung his claws 180 degrees horizontally.
His enemy successfully landed a hit. Slashed his front and tore up his clothes in the process!! Blood started to come out like water coming out from a crack in the dam
Myles felt serious pain and he also felt like something was entering his body, causing him a sense of weakness. Nonetheless, Myles let out a scream of pain shortly after.
"!!" Myles let our weak scream in pain.
At that moment, a notification flashed in his retina, which he briefly glanced at.
(You have been slashed)
(You have lost 25 HP
Current HP: 22)
(Due to your injuries, you are suffering from mild bleeding)
(You will lose 5 HP every 2 minutes as a result.)
(A poison has entered your body from the tips of the claws)
(The poison has weakened your body)
(Hence all your stats except your mana and HP have dropped by 10 percent for one hour)
(If more poison enters your system, then the effect of the poison will last longer. Its effect will also become stronger possibly becoming fatal)
Myles inwardly cursed as he saw the notification flashing in his retina! The drop in 10 percent of his stats was very dangerous for him!
On top of that, he was suffering from bleeding!
"I will put up a defensive stance after this" My
Myles glanced at his opponent and saw that he was far from done. He was preparing to stab his heart! If he succeeds, then he is done for!
"I can't let this happen," Myles thought to himself.
As he was starting to think about what to do, a bullet struck his enemy in the shoulder, causing him to bleed heavily.
He let out a weak scream of pain as he fell onto his knees.
"Ahahah!" The enemy let out a scream of pain.
As for Myles, he finally fell to the ground just a meter away from the collapsed enemy.
It was over, whoever was fired at his enemy. Now open fire, not giving them the chance to rest.
His opponent was forced to move despite his injuries!
He didn't know who helped him survive but it was certain that it was one of his allies.
"It was a mistake to attack them; taking a defensive stance is much better," Myles thought to himself.
As Myles was thinking of changing his strategy, he saw the one wielding a sword charging at him. He inwardly cursed.
"I need to go into defense mode!!" Myles thought to himself.
Myles quickly stood up despite the pain. Since lying down on the battlefield while enemies were charging toward him was the same as committing suicide
He channeled mana into his sword upon standing as he started to put on a defensive stance.
A notification flashed in his retina
(You have used the third movement of basic sword art)
(Your mana has decreased by 10
Current Mana:
"Come on," Myles muttered under his breath.
Just a few seconds later, the enemy arrived in front of him and he kept attacking him, mostly wanting to inflict fatal injuries.
"It's not so easy to defeat me" Myles exclaimed.
Myles blocked most of the attacks of his enemies, producing a large metallic sound each time he blocked his attacks.
As he was exchanging blows with one of them, he somehow managed to send him flying a few meters backward. It also surprised him greatly since his strength was probably higher than his own!!
However, he didn't have the luxury to celebrate, a voice resounded through his ears.
"Myles looked behind you!!" Vincent shouted as he kept shooting another enemy.
Myles looked behind him and saw that the enemy who was shot was charging towards him!!
"Damn it!!" Myles cursed.
Myles briefly glanced at the spearsmen and saw that he was already charging towards him!
The pressure on Myles had increased tremendously; now, he needed to block the attacks of both of his enemies at the same time.
It didn't help that his stats were lower than usual!!
As he was thinking what to do, the sound of an explosion far greater than the sound of thunder resounded through his ears.
When Myles looked in the direction of the sound, despair was visible on his face.
It also diverted the attention of his enemies but unlike him, they looked happy.
