Chapter 145: Defeating the Boss (Bonus)
However, the fallen angel had experienced this healing ability once. For the first time in the battle, the desert elf made a blunder.
"No—!" The desert elf realized it right after, but it was too late.
The fallen angel hit the left dagger and knocked it away as her Ena exploded near her spear\'s tip, obliterating the elf\'s entire upper arm and a portion of her shoulder.
The angel was in the same situation. The gnoll charged toward the angel, but he simply clapped his hand as a golden circle appeared beneath the gnoll.
The golden circle shone as a pillar of light emerged from the circle.
"Aaagghhhh!" The gnoll was screaming as if he were being fried.
Still, the most important battle was none other than Fenrir against the orc.
"You are not a warrior!" The orc roared while waving his blade downwards.
"Don\'t be a sore loser when you have a number advantage at the start of the battle." Fenrir barked, dispersing the sword strike before biting the orc\'s remaining arm and ripping it apart.
With them dealing severe damage, it wouldn\'t be long for all those three to finish their battle.
That left Nidhogg and Nathan. Nidhogg was not a problem, as the giant couldn\'t touch him at all. And the bandit leader had lost his right leg.
"Kh!" The bandit leader gritted his teeth, barely balancing his own body.
No one would have expected an attack from below. No, he should have expected this from a crafty opponent like Nathan.
At the same time, if not for Sera, Nathan wouldn\'t be able to achieve such a thing.
Now that he had the upper hand, he took the initiative this time. The bandit leader had to carefully swing his axe, but that hesitation caused him to slow down, allowing Nathan to reach him first.
Nathan punched the bandit leader\'s side with his Dragon Fist, breaking three of his ribs.
"Gah!" The bandit leader spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew toward a building.
Nathan formed all five bullets and sent them toward the bandit leader. At the same time, he heard a small groan coming from behind.
"Kh."
"!!!" Nathan turned around. Sera was maintaining her calmness, but he noticed she was actually sweating a lot. "Did I overdo it?"
He almost forgot that Sera was the one supplying the Ena. No matter how much Ena she had, she was supposed to be the same age as him and had just summoned her third familiar.
"I\'m sorry. My Ena is much lower than I imagined after summoning Brunhild."
"No need to boost my ability anymore. My power alone is enough to deal with the current bandit."
"But…"
"Trust me."
Nathan waved his hand. Although he wanted to check on her, he had to deliver a killing blow.
Nathan rushed straight to the bandit leader, but the Ena around him remained enhanced. "Sera!"
Sera gritted her teeth and finally retracted her power.
Her intention was good, but if she overdid it, he might end up getting a worse evaluation in the trial, so he had to stop her.
Besides, there was something he wanted to try, as it was only possible when he made these weak bullets.
The bandit leader used the rubble to support his body, planning to kill Nathan in this one clash.
Nathan\'s posture suddenly changed as he pulled his fist wide, exposing his body.
The bandit leader\'s body shook. This gap was so wide that he thought Nathan was going to trick him again, so he hesitated to take it, especially after those tricky bullets from underground.
But that was his mistake. Nathan had indeed made himself look strong and tricky in this whole fight, which finally took effect on this battle.
Nathan threw that big punch, showing it wasn\'t fake.
"!!!" The bandit leader hurriedly swung downwards to chop his arm. He thought he could withstand that punch with his body, but that was never Nathan\'s intention.
The reason he exposed his body was so that he could summon five small bullets behind him without making it too obvious.
After that, he threw the punch while shooting the bullets.
The bullets actually curved around his body, using his arm to cover the bandit leader\'s vision.
As a result, those bullets hit both of the bandit\'s arms.
"Kh!" The leader widened his eyes in shock, thinking, \'Did he just use those small attacks? No. It\'s because his original attacks are small that he can do something like this. If his attack was boosted by the saintess, I would have found out. Curse you. You are using your own weakness to catch me off guard!\'
The leader couldn\'t put a lot of strength in his arm, so Nathan managed to land the punch and moved to the side before the bandit completed his swing.
"Arrgghhh!" The leader roared and swung horizontally in desperation, but Nathan simply moved back.
That desperate strike made him lose his balance. He fell on his back and saw Nathan approaching him.
Before he could get up, Nathan had punched him in the face. He even used the Dragon Fist to break his nose and crush his face.
The back of his head was slammed so hard that the bandit leader almost lost his consciousness.
He had two choices. He could kill the bandit here or just let Sera take care of the rest.
If the guide was someone else instead of Sera, he would probably kill him. But the saintess would definitely argue with him when the bandit leader was clearly not able to fight anymore.
"No—!"
Seeing the bandit leader wanted to beg for his life, Nathan chose to punch him one more time to knock him out. As for his injuries, Anubis could take care of him.
"Don\'t beg for mercy when you are in the wrong." Nathan let out a long sigh. He could still kill him if the saintess chose not to spare him. She was a corrupt saintess after all. Nathan couldn\'t help but think, \'And now it\'s time for me to get the sexy saintess to guide me to the ancient library. Hehehe.\'
