Chapter 104: Unexpected Call for Help
Unfortunately, the enemy was wearing armor underneath his shirt, as his Deadly Claw only cut through his coat and shirt, not his body.
"!!!" Nathan\'s body shook as he knew he should change the aim right away.
His opponent hurriedly rolled once more and put the mace on top of him, blocking the Deadly Claw. Nathan formed several bullets, but a barrier appeared before they hit him.
Since such an attack didn\'t work, he chose to fight in close combat instead, which seemed to be more beneficial to his opponent.
Nathan formed a shield before they clashed. Because of such a short distance between them, the opponent had no choice but to strike the shield first, causing him to lose a precious split second.
Nathan pulled his hand and made a gun signal, firing at the enemy\'s chest.
The guy only rotated his body slightly, letting the bullet hit the side so that he could hit Nathan.
Nathan saw the incoming mace and used his coat as protection before grabbing it. After that, he formed multiple bullets behind his back and shot them up.
The summoner noticed the incoming bullets and simply formed a shield on his own, blocking it. After that, he overpowered Nathan and kicked his right side.
Nathan was blown away, but the bullet turned out to be a distraction. Nathan had formed the explosive bullet right after, knowing full well that the summoner would kick him. He took advantage of the enemy being better than him to launch himself away, leaving behind that explosive bullet.
Bam!
The bullet exploded, knocking the summoner back. After that, Nathan formed some more bullets.
The summoner\'s posture wasn\'t stable enough to avoid it, resulting in two of them hitting him.
"Kh!" The summoner gritted his teeth, never thinking that he would be in this much trouble just to defeat Nathan.
Nathan felt the same. He didn\'t expect he would last this long against his opponent. If not for those curving bullets he was inspired from, he would have already lost three minutes ago.
Fenrir was injured, but he still managed to strike the minotaur\'s head with his paw as well as bite its shoulder. The gargoyle wasn\'t in that better condition, especially after Fenrir repeatedly used his tail attack due to how effective it was against the gargoyle.
Anubis, on the other hand, gained the upper hand because the fallen angel had lost one of its arms.
It seemed to be confident that he could regrow that arm, but it would be futile if he died here.
That was why the fallen angel had no choice but to focus on Anubis, not helping the summoner anymore.
Looking at this situation, Nathan was sure that they could hold on for a bit more.
\'This is looking good. They might still have the advantage, but as more time passes, they will be more desperate, fully aware that the alien might die before they can take us out.
\'When that happens, they will be searching for us and might choose to flee. I can gaslight her as much as possible at that time,\' Nathan thought.
However, the enemy differed greatly from last time. He finally experienced what it meant to fight an opponent that could use magical abilities like that fallen angel.
Considering Anubis also did the same, he expected that as he grew stronger, he would find more and more enemies with this kind of power, and the battle would become more and more complex.
Nathan took a deep breath before straightening his back. "I finally figured out who you are. To think that you are still not giving up after your failed last attempt. Are you not feeling ashamed that your attack failed so miserably? That\'s probably why you\'re considered a terrorist group."
Instead of using their name to startle the enemy to create a gap in the attack, Nathan actually used it in a way to buy time instead. It might look foolish at a glance, but Nathan planned to use this opportunity for something else.
The summoner frowned. He realized that the four people that were supposed to kill him ended up telling them about it because he hadn\'t shown anything that could lead to the organization.
They had come to this place with only weaker personnel since stronger people would be noticed easily, causing the infiltration to fail. They would even bring the Dragon King here the moment these people noticed someone with a large amount of Ena nearby.
That was why the people they brought were not necessarily tight-lipped.
Unfortunately, the enemy didn\'t give Nathan a chance to buy some time. He immediately rushed forward to end this battle as quickly as possible.
\'Yep, yep. These people are stronger and smarter compared to most novels I read, so I know if I try buying time, instead of listening like those idiot characters, this guy will do whatever it takes to defeat me. And that\'s why—\' Nathan was about to execute his plan, which would instantly turn around the battle.
But Sasha\'s voice echoed in his ears, and it was in a distressed tone.
"Help!"
"!!!" Nathan and his opponent were distracted because they never thought there would be interference coming from the other side.
However, the voice came from a woman, which wasn\'t an elf that she knew. The summoner immediately took this opportunity to attack Nathan.
"Kh!" Nathan blocked it with his coat, letting his opponent hit him as he used that momentum combined with his own jump to get as much distance as possible.
After that, Nathan turned his head around, using the precious few seconds to assess the situation. It was there he found Sasha carrying Selena on her back.
Risa was following right behind, but her condition didn\'t look so good as she had to fend off against all three familiars as well as their summoner by themselves.
More importantly, Nathan\'s eyes darted to Selena. Her face was pale and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead. In one glance, he realized something was wrong.
At the same time, Selena wasn\'t a weak person who easily needed his help. So, the opponent might have done something unexpected.
"Selena?!"
