Now You See Me, Now You Die

Chapter - 139

Jacob squared off against the dark mage, his shadowed figure radiating an aura of dread that seemed to seep into the very stones of the fortress—a chilling reminder that this battle was no longer just about barbarians, but something far more sinister.

Jacob let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head. "Why don't I ever get an easy fight?" he muttered under his breath.

A memory surfaced—his first hunts as a monster hunter. 'Dire wolves.' Back then, facing a pack of them had felt like the hardest challenge in the world. Now? He'd give anything to go back to those days. Those were fights he could win with bullets alone. This? This was going to take something more.

Jacob took a slow breath, forcing his heartbeat to steady. If his normal attacks wouldn't work, he'd have to take a different approach. His revolver wasn't enough. His sword wasn't enough. He needed something more. Something stronger.
