Chapter 132: What’s going on?
The arrow slammed into the ground, an explosion followed, debris and dust scattered in all directions, the shockwave blasted and pushed against the lady.
The cloaked man on the wall turned to see what was happening, a bandit swung his way to attack, the cloaked man pushed off the wall with his feet while countering and slashing the neck of the bandit. He flipped off the wall and landed on the ground with a thud.
His gaze locked on the figure with the bow.
The figure with the bow was a tall man, he had skin pale as paper and white hair, purple eyes that looked like the abyss. His hair covered most of his head as it flowed down, even his ears could not be seen. He had a quiver on his back and a magnificent-looking bow in his hands.
The standoff was for a few seconds, the mage and dual wielder locked eyes with this bandit, they could tell easily that he was leagues above the other ones, and he had shown that by his display of power as well.
The other bandits rushed down the side of the mountain with eagerness, now that their leader had taken the attention of those two, they could fight back. The knights that had been tossed away forced themselves to their feet and got ready to take down every bandit that touched the ground.
"This is a bad idea for you," the dual wielder stated, he adjusted the grip on his swords, shifting his feet slightly to adjust.
The man looked at the feet and then at the dual wielder, he let out a smirk, "I beg to differ," he said that and then launched, his foot pressed hard against the ground as he shot forward like a rocket.
The dual wielder moved first to counter, he got in close and went with two opposing diagonal slashes, stepping in and executing the flawless attack, but the man moved faster, he leaped into the air and flipped over the dual wielder, landing behind him and immediately pulling an arrow to nock into his bow, he pulled back on his bow at stunning speed and was about to fire, only for a purple blast to come right for him.
He noticed it fast and pulled back, evading the attack, it flew past him and slammed into the mountain. Before the man landed, the dual wielder had recovered and spun around, charging at him again. The man fired the arrow that he had set, it spun in the air toward the dual wielder. The dual wielder leaned to the side and then used his swords to parry. The arrow grazed the sword hard and caused sparks to fly.
He pushed harder after that, closing the distance between the man and him. He thrust one blade when he was in the right range, sure that his attack would land, only for the man to pull off a clean move, using his bow, he allowed the sword to get inside between the bow shaft and the string, before spinning the bow to pull the sword to the side and effectively disarm the dual wielder.
The dual wielder did not flinch as his sword flew into the air, he made a clean slash with the second sword and forced the man to leap back to dodge while he then leaped into the air and grabbed his sword. While he was mid-air, the mage unleashed a barrage of shots at the man. The man put all his effort into dodging the attacks, he nimbly evaded each one as they slammed into the ground.
The dual wielder who was in the air saw his opportunity at that moment and he took it, he swung down with all his might.
"Arghhhhh!"
His sword cleaved through the air and travelled toward the man. The man looked up and saw the attack coming, his hands moved fast as he pulled an arrow from his quiver. He nocked it into the bow and shot without hesitation. The runes on the body of the arrow lit up and when it was halfway to the dual wielder, it exploded in the air, a massive cloud of flame and smoke.
In that same time, he pulled an arrow out, and then pulled a string from his waist and clipped it to the end of it before shooting it into the mountain, it stabbed in and hooked into the mountain, then the string yanked him to the side fast, allowing him to leave the area fast before the dual wielder burst out of the flames and landed on the ground.
The mage followed his movements as he did this and then proceeded to attack, she cast a different spell this time, a blue magic circle formed and then on the mountain where the hand of the man touched, another magic circle formed and ice formed from it, freezing the hand of the man right there, making sure that he was unable to move.
The man looked down at the ice and then looked up, he saw the dual wielder rushing his way, he needed to move fast so he dropped his bow and leaped up, using both legs to catch the bow while his free hand was already pulling an arrow out and setting it in the body of the bow, he strung it up while his feet were still in the air and then he shot it, a trail of lightning followed, it slammed into the ground and what followed was a massive explosion that pushed the two back.
It allowed the man enough time to pull out another arrow and stab into the ice to crack it and break free. Immediately he was about to rush in to attack again.
"Whoa, whoa. What’s going on here?" A voice cut through the air and pulled the attention of both parties, they all turned to see who had spoken. They saw him standing on the rubble that had been poured down, with a cheeky smile on his face.
