Chapter: 455

“I might not even need my shield for this one… If I do, well, it will be a painful lesson…” he thought, rolling a tooth around between his fingers. He was counting on the spell stopping the treant in its tracks again.

Jay stared down the treant, looking into its hollow eyes with a sly smile as if he was a hungry wolf, taunting it, challenging it.

Both sabre girl and dagger girl took a few steps back as the large creature rushed into the midst of their V-shaped formation – and just before the antlers impaled Jay, another explosion rang out across the battlefield.

*BOOOOM! Tat tat tat~*

[9]

Just like before, the creature’s body seemed to freeze up in pain, its threatening charge coming to a complete stop. Jay slyly smiled seeing his plan work.

*Shring swing shring~*

Immediately, he began slashing his sword at it.

[14.4] [14.4] [14.4]

The creature’s natural armour had reduced his damage slightly, but it was still plenty. In only a few moments and already it had lost 62.2 HP from Jay’s spells and sword attacks alone.

[HP 119.8/182]

Suddenly, the creature slashed with one of its spindly twisting hands – Jay quickly ducked it.

Next, it leant forward while its hand unwrapped into a plethora of squirming, writhing roots.

“Fuck” Jay slashed his sword at its hand to no effect. It was too late however before he realised it was using its drain ability.

*Dwoosh~*

…*PHOONK*

A heavy bolt pierced right through its arm, successfully cancelling its drain skill as its hand reformed into the normal shape.

Jay smiled, seeing that Anya had his back.

*Ting ting ting, ting-ting*

The dagger girl joined the battle. She wasn’t going to let Jay have all the fun.

From the pain of Anya’s bolt, the treant slashed its hand randomly in anger – successfully landing a hit on one of the fleshy sacks.

“AH!” the dagger girl squealed for a moment.

The spiny hand of the treant had seized a chunk of flesh; it had slashed right across her face, dealing massive damage.

Her right cheek skin had been ripped off – along with part of her nose. As for her eye, well there was no eye – it was non-existent. The same went for her ear.

She dropped her twin daggers and fell on the ground, writing in pain as she waited for her health pool to fix her up; trying not to touch her face and just focus on breathing.
