What was Kieran trying to do?
The bridge was straight.
It was just wide enough to accommodate the charging Armored Rhino.
On both sides of the bridge was a moat filled with piranhas.
Other than running to the other side, there seemed to be no other choice.
However, there was another option.
The sky!
Kieran was confident that with his and Lawless's physique, the time it would take for the Armored Rhino to reach the other side of the bridge was enough.
That was the thought that popped up in his mind as he was sprinting.
It was feasible.
However, Kieran did not tell Lawless right away.
Kieran still had some doubts.
The captain of the Bestowed, Jorque.
Jorque might seem to be locked in a fierce battle with the rebels, but who could guarantee that Jorque would not focus his attention on that?
Most people would not miss the chance to see a person who had humiliated them die.
However, what would he do if he saw that the person who made him lose face did not die, but instead escaped and ascended to heaven?
The answer was obvious.
Stop him!
Stop him with everything he had!
Moreover, Jorque did not even need to use his full strength.
All he needed to do was fire an arrow.
The people in the air would inevitably be hit by arrows when they had nowhere to borrow strength from.
That was why Kieran did not tell Lawless about it.
He wanted to give it a try himself.
If he was alone, Kieran was confident that he could dodge Jorque's arrow.
Wuuuuuuu!
The Armored Rhino brought with it a strong gust of wind.
When it was 12 to 13 meters away from Kieran, it was already charging at him. With its huge body, Kieran immediately felt a heavy pressure.
However, it did not reach the level of [Fear].
This was good news for Kieran.
He widened his eyes, calculating the distance between them.
When the distance between them was less than 5 meters, Kieran, who had been preparing for a long time, jumped up.
Sou!
Just as Kieran jumped up, the sound of an arrow piercing the air was heard.
An arrow made of refined iron was aimed at Kieran.
In the distance, Jock, the captain of the Bestowed team, who was supposed to be fighting the rebels, put down his magic longbow and sneered.
Everything seemed to be under his control.
As a matter of fact, Jock believed that everything was under his control.
From the moment he thought of using the Leather Rhinoceros to avenge him, Jock had already thought through all the possible scenarios.
This naturally included the only way out!
He had to ensure that nothing went wrong.
He wanted to turn that path of survival into a path of certain death for Kieran.
He wanted to enjoy the process of hope turning into despair on Kieran's face.
Otherwise, how would he be able to avenge the kick he had given him?
"Die!"
"Bring me shame … What?!"
Jock sneered.
But in the next moment, his eyes widened.
Kieran, who had no leverage in the air and could only be pierced by the arrow, was actually moving in the air!
And he was moving very fast!
With Jock's eyesight, he saw Kieran raise his hand and throw something to the rhinoceros' horn, allowing it to move him. However, because of the distance, he could not see what Kieran had thrown.
"Damn it!"
Jock instinctively wanted to fire another arrow.
However, a longsword silently slashed his throat.
Puk!
Blood gushed out.
Jock fell to the ground, clutching his throat. At the last moment, he saw the blood-stained mask.
"You're a vengeful person. Have you ever thought of this day?"
The masked man said in a low voice.
His voice was no longer sharp and ear-piercing, but his own voice.
Even though he had lowered his voice a lot, it still could not hide the thickness of his voice.
Jock, whose life was about to be extinguished, came back to his senses when he heard the masked man's voice. He opened his mouth.
"Sss, sss …"
It seemed like Jock wanted to say something.
However, with his throat slit, he could not utter a single word.
"Hahahaha!"
The masked man laughed maniacally.
Although his voice was sharp and ear-piercing again, he could not hide the delight in his voice.
His laughter lasted for two to three seconds before it disappeared.
The masked man looked at Kieran, who was standing on the back of the rhinoceros, and went into deep thought.
Then, his eyes turned to the other side.
And there it was: Gratton.
Another target of his.
A target more important than Kieran.
…
Kieran stood firmly on the back of the rhinoceros.
Although the ride was bumpy and the scales were slippery, the rhinoceros' back was unusually wide, providing a platform for Kieran to stand on.
"Jump!"
Kieran shouted at Lawless.
Standing on the back of the rhinoceros, he had already seen the death of Captain Jock of the Bestowed.
When the masked man had killed Jock, his strange footwork and swordsmanship had sent chills down Kieran's spine.
He had once again put himself in Jock's shoes.
Even if he had not been distracted and had been fully focused, Kieran would not have been able to dodge the attack.
Even if he had not been distracted, Kieran would not have been able to dodge the attack.
Especially when he had approached Jock, the strange footwork the masked man had displayed.
It was hard to tell if the masked man was real or fake.
If he had not been sure that the masked man was human, Kieran would have thought that the masked man was a formless soul.
"Scary!"
That was what Kieran thought about the masked man.
However, there was one thing he had to thank him for.
The masked man had killed Jock, the biggest obstacle in his way.
He had rendered the rhinoceros, which was supposed to be a fatal blow, useless.
Pak!
Lawless descended from the sky and landed on the back of the rhinoceros.
After witnessing what Kieran had done, Lawless knew what Kieran wanted to do. So when he heard Kieran's shout, he did not hesitate to carry out the order.
Hanses, who was further away, was not an idiot either.
A moment ago, he had already pulled the three horses away from the direction of the armored rhinoceros' charge.
Within a breath's time.
The armored rhinoceros charged across the bridge.
When the armored rhinoceros reached the other side of the river, it was immediately greeted by a large open space.
Kieran heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been worried that the armored rhinoceros would make a turn and rush into the moat.
If that had happened, he would have lost a lot of loot.
That's right. Kieran wanted to kill the armored rhinoceros.
When he had first seen the rhinoceros, Kieran had wanted to do it.
However, the situation had not allowed him to.
Now?
There was no such restriction.
The captain of the Bestowed had helped Kieran complete some of the steps.
Kieran looked at the arrow in the rhinoceros's eyes. He crouched down and moved carefully.
"What are you doing, 2567?"
Lawless asked.
However, he immediately shut up.
When he saw Kieran grab the arrow in the rhinoceros's eyes with his right hand, Lawless understood Kieran's plan.
Puk!
A second later, Kieran squeezed the arrow and plunged it into the rhinoceros's eye socket.
Another arrow followed.
[Piercing: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 300 Damage to Target HP, Target has Tensile Armor, 200 True Damage inflicted to Target HP, Target dies …]
As the battlelog notification popped up, the rhinoceros charged forward for another 10 meters before it fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, it was dead.
An orange glowing equipment appeared on the rhinoceros's body.
Kieran's eyes shone brightly.
