"The enemy seems to be retreating!"
Joe said to Edward, who was behind him, after sending several soldiers charging at him flying with a swing of his greatsword as if he was hitting a baseball.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Gou Dan narrowed his eyes as he killed the enemies that appeared to be centurions. "It's easier to deal damage … Ah, Eleena, you're stealing my kills again!"
Eleena was buffing them from behind while tagging them. Still, her tagging skill dealt damage, and any enemy that Gou Dan sniped but didn't kill would be left with a sliver of HP and would die immediately after being tagged, which naturally meant that Eleena got the bulk of the EXP.
The little girl blinked her eyes, her face full of innocence.
Even Gou Dan, who had a belly full of complaints, had nothing to complain about when he saw her like that.
"How do you feel now?"
Edward, on the other hand, asked Simba and the others who were rescued by them.
"Feeling … kali kali."
Simba replied, although he didn't look ragged thanks to his Player's physique, his expression showed that his spirit was reaching its limit.
To put it more specifically, he was like a university student who had spent two nights cultivating for the sake of playing games, giving off the impression that he would fall asleep the moment he touched the bed.
"What?" Edward was left dumbfounded.
"Simba said it's alright. It seems to be a dialect from his hometown." Zazu, who was sprawled on the ground and doing his best to recover his mana, explained.
"What about you, Zazu? I still have Pepsi here. Want one? "Edward took out the small blue can that all mages had.
"No need. I still have some, but I really can't drink it now."
Zazu belched even as he spoke. It seems that he had drunk quite a lot of blue potions before Edward and the others came to their rescue, and a closer look would reveal that his abdomen was protruding. "If you guys didn't come, I might've choked to death on coke …"
"Please don't let your guard down. While the normal soldiers are retreating, the ones hiding in the shadows haven't left!"
Vela's class-change Junglewalker originally had a skill called [Wild Instinct] that allowed her to sense prey, but the Players didn't bother to use it because it was so useless in previous tests.
After all, in the past, players had faced enemies that they could see and touch. Even if they faced a Boss, they wouldn't need high Perceptive Sense to fight it.
However, after fighting the shadow creatures and the Nightwalkers, Vera realized her shortcomings, which was why she used [Wild Instinct].
Even the enemies that were hiding in the shadows and not marked by her were now within her range of perception.
Of course, [Wild Instinct] wasn't as intuitive as a radar. She could only vaguely sense the general location of creatures that were a threat to her. If her level was higher, it might become a passive ability similar to Spiderman's [Spider Sense]. However, she didn't have enough skill points to upgrade this skill.
"He's here!"
Nana, who had been vigilant all this while, suddenly shouted.
As a cleric, she had already raised her wand and released holy light, illuminating the surroundings and preventing the shadow creatures from escaping!
"Good timing. I was just worrying about the lack of EXP!"
Joe waved the Giant's Toe in high spirits, forcing a few Nightwalkers to retreat as he shouted, "Slaughtering is not what I want, fighting with dangerous fellows like you to earn EXP is more to my liking!"
The Nightwalkers who specialized in assassination had no intention of talking to him, and were simply looking for Joe's weakness to assassinate him as quickly as possible.
Moreover, Joe's swing of his greatsword was a little clumsy, and it looked like he was wide open, making it easy for them to attack his vitals!
That was why a few of the Nightwalkers followed the simplest and most direct method, lunging at Joe with daggers in hand and stabbing at his throat, heart, and kidneys!
It appeared that he had used too much strength and could no longer retract his greatsword, but Joe didn't panic at all despite blocking their path of assassination. In fact, there was a mocking smile on his face.
The Nightwalkers knew that something was wrong, but it was too late.
All they saw was a translucent figure emerging from Joe's body, as if his soul had left his body.
The translucent spirit didn't have any weapons in hand, and simply extended his fists at breakneck speed, hammering the Nightwalkers that lunged at him a few times.
In an instant, the Nightwalkers were like kites with their strings cut, spitting out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying faster than they had pounced!
The other Nightwalkers wanted to help, but Edward had already calmly snapped his fingers.
A few streaks of black flames spewed out from the ground, stopping the Nightwalkers.
The Nightwalkers intended to circle around the pillar of fire to regain their footing, only to find that the flames did not disappear after rushing into the air, and instead condensed into the shape of a giant dragon in the air!
The leader of the Nightwalkers immediately dodged, but he was a step too late.
Hei Yan Dragon's breath directly turned the Nightwalkers who were caught off guard into a pile of charcoal!
The leader wanted to do something, but it was only then that he suddenly realized that the number of companions around him seemed to have decreased by a lot!
"Isn't it too late to find out now?" Eggface, who had somehow run to a big tree, sneered. "It seems that you guys don't have the ability to completely see through the darkness. This Shadow Barrier is too useless."
The Shadow Barrier could indeed blind the enemy's vision, restrict the battle to a certain range, prevent the enemy from escaping, and limit the enemy's mobility to the greatest extent in a siege battle.
But the Shadow Barrier did not distinguish between friend and foe, so when the strength of the enemy and his side was reversed, the help of the barrier would instead become a hindrance.
Even though the leader of the Nightwalkers had gone through arduous and rigorous training and did not feel too much despair in the face of such a situation, he could not help but think, 'Is everyone in the barrier class a spy?' or 'Why didn't they change to another barrier at this time'!
Even though it was less than a minute, he had already confirmed that there was indeed a huge gap between the strength of the two sides that was difficult to make up for in numbers, and the general's order to retreat was correct.
The task of bringing up the rear could only go so far. The Nightwalkers were the property of His Majesty, and the lives of the Nightwalkers were more precious than the worthless soldiers.
But just as he was about to escape into the shadows, the little girl who had been eating a lollipop at the back suddenly raised a thick book and slammed it hard on the ground.
Suddenly, a circle of holy light burst out from her body.
Before the leader of the Nightwalkers could react, he was completely engulfed by the light …
