Chapter 43 Timid and Brave
Long loose hair, dusty face, tattered red clothes, trembling hands, and frowning expressions, this is what the master-level swordsman Sakai looks like now. Such a messy and miserable situation really made Wuqi and Croyd, who came to watch the game with interest, feel like they were hit hard, and were disappointed and deeply depressed.
Is this still the powerful Sakai in their minds?
Compared to the depression in Wuqi and Croyd's heart, Sakai, as the person involved, suddenly felt relieved. He had already spent too much physical strength to fight these two monsters in order to delay more time as much as possible. He knew that physical strength was energy, and he had avoided the fatal attacks of the Necrotic Bear King and the Necrotic Hungry Wolf again and again, and naturally consumed a lot of energy accordingly. However, the students he saved did not understand his intentions at all, but instead saw it even more.
In order not to let the energy shocks brought by the attacks of these two level 9 monsters affect these students, he deliberately dodged to the back of these students, so that the attack directions of the two level 9 monsters were towards him, which led to the sudden explosion of the hill where Wuqi and Croyd were staying. However, even though Sakai was unwilling to believe it, he had to admit that his energy was decreasing at a very fast speed. If these students had not put him in a dilemma, he would not have been besieged by these two level 9 monsters without any resistance, let alone now he became so embarrassed.
However, just when Sakai thought he could not support him, he strangely discovered that among the two level 9 monsters, the Necromancer King, who was relatively terrifying with his strength, actually stopped attacking him, turned around, and walked slowly in the direction behind him. Facing the attack of a level 9 monster, Sakai felt relaxed all over, as if the weight-bearing object suddenly pressed on his body was suddenly removed. While dodging the attack of the level 9 monster, he also had distracted his attention and looked back at the gap.
But it was fine if he didn't look back. When he turned around, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate. He forgot that he was still in danger. After hearing the students watching the battle in front of him suddenly say "Teacher, be careful!", his body was as if he was suddenly hit by a meteor, and his bones seemed to be about to fall apart. Without any resolute strength, he was pounced on the ground by the level 9 monster dead wolf. The huge white front paw pressed against him like a hill, causing Sakai to fall into a crisis of life and death in a blink of an eye.
But he still looked at the direction that made him suddenly stunned, shouting: "Run!!!"
The place where Sakai was so concerned was exactly where Wuqi and Croyd were. Hearing Sakai's shout like thunder, the dozen students who had been following him curiously turned their eyes to the direction where Sakai was looking at. After this look, the dozen students who were originally quiet suddenly started to talk as if they were blowing up, and for a moment, they all said anything.
"Hey! Have you seen it? Do those two people look familiar?"
"Yes. Why do they look like students from our school? Do you think? Look, there is actually one of the two people wearing our school uniforms!"
"It's indeed the school uniform of our school. Wait a minute, these two people don't look familiar, the other one looks very beautiful."
"Ah! I remembered that the person wearing our school uniform is Croyd, who is the youngest in our class and second only to the class monitor. Is Croyd? Look carefully."
"After a closer look, it was really him! Unexpectedly, this guy was not dead, and the squad leader was not as lucky as him. It seems that our class will consider him as the new squad leader in the future. However, how could Croyd suddenly appear there?"
"Who knows. Maybe he ran too slowly. He just came here. Didn't he bring a freshman today?"
"Freshman? By the way! A freshman just came to our class today? That's right, look carefully. Isn't the guy with a runny nose beside Croyd the transfer student who has just come to report for a while?"
"How come you pay attention to them? Now we should be worried about Teacher Sakai."
The students were reminded by the girl who was rescued from the dead little hungry wolf, and the students were planning to turn their eyes back to the body of Sakai. But just as they made a tilt, the sudden change of Croyd and Wuqi stood suddenly shocked the hearts of these students. Everyone looked at the direction that had made them discuss in a blink of an eye. Even the little girl who reminded them to pay attention to Sakai was almost falling out of her eye sockets.
As soon as the Necromile Bear King discovered the aura of Croyd and Wuqi, he turned around and moved his eyes to the two children who seemed to be powerless to resist. So he just gave the Necromile Hungry Wolf a hint with his eyes, and then rushed towards the two people who had no warning about the sudden change. Although his steps were slow, due to his huge figure, the distance he took was enough to run several steps to an ordinary monster.
"Boom!" When the sound of the huge soles of the Necrotic Bear King trampling on the ground suddenly sounded in Wuqi and Croyd's ears, they suddenly came back to their senses from their disappointment and depression. But when the two looked up and found that the Necrotic Bear King rushed towards them, it was too late. They wanted to dodge and found that a huge bear paw that was larger than the bodies of both of them had already suffocated towards their bodies with an extremely powerful aura. The huge bear paw wiping through the air and making a "hissing" tearing sound, which brought about an unparalleled violent wind, making both Wuqi and Croyd unable to stand firmly.
"Go away!" Just before Wuqi wanted to pull Croyd down, Croyd held Wuqi's lower abdomen at a faster speed than him. The huge impact force kicked Wuqi's body directly out, and then flew seven or eight meters in the air before falling heavily to the ground. However, although Wuqi's lower abdomen was heard, he avoided the overwhelming palm of the Dead Bear King.
However, compared with his severe pain, Croyd, who kicked him away, suffered a devastating attack. Just as he kicked Wuqi, Croyd took out the 50-pound long sword from the golden bracelet at the same time, and gritted his teeth and slashed at the bear paw, which was already close to him, with an attitude of being ready to die.
After a crisp sound of "pong", Croyd's long sword broke, and then he crossed his hands in front of his chest like lightning. As soon as he finished his movement, a huge bear paw also came towards him and landed on Croyd's two slender arms. After two "clogs" sounds of broken bones sounded for no reason, Croyd's body was like a ping-pong ball, and was pulled away by the huge bear paw.
"boom!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Bang!"
Croyd's lungs, which flew backward like a shell, was squeezed backwards by a huge force and could not breathe at all. His brain was dizzy, and his body was like a rusty machine, unable to move at all. He felt three powerful stings coming from behind, and his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness. Croyd's body was uncontrollably stopped on the trunk of the third big tree after breaking the trunk of the two big trees. However, at this time, his muscles and bones were broken, and his internal organs were seriously damaged. There was no difference between him and a dying old man, and his situation was even more dangerous than that of him.
"Old De!!!" Seeing that Croyd suffered an attack that was hundreds of times more terrifying than abdominal pain in order to save him, Wuqi finally looked red with his eyes hysterically. He endured the severe pain in his abdomen, shouting and rushing towards the big tree where Croyd leaned against.
Wuqi's move made Sakai, who was pressed by the dead wolf under him, look anxious and pale, "Don't go over!" This was the only thing he could shout loudly in his throat while dodging the biting attacks that the dead wolf was rushing toward him. But what Sakai didn't expect was that his shouting not only did not make Wuqi wake up in time, but instead made the Dead Bear King who slowly approached Croyd look back. When it glanced at the little spot that was rushing towards him for no reason, a golden light flashed in his eyes, stopped, and did not approach Croyd, but looked at the little spot who had just escaped by chance. He quickly slapped it with impatient gaze in his eyes.
"Ah!" Feeling a strong wind blowing towards him, Wuqi paused and looked up at the distance. He saw the bear paw that had just slapped Croyd flying like a ping-pong ball was rushing towards him with a forcing momentum. Wuqi suddenly felt cold in his heart, and his timidity suddenly arose. But then he remembered the scene where Croyd had become life and death just now to save him. The timid that enveloped him was suddenly replaced by a huge anger. He didn't care whether he was the opponent of this huge monster, nor whether he could take the unstoppable attack, but did not choose to dodge, but kept throwing out the gravel that had not been completely used up from the silver space bracelet. The target was this black bear paw that was two numbers larger than his body.
But soon, the gravel was thrown away, and Wuqi's face turned from a bright red of anger to a very pale pale. He saw with his own eyes that the gravel fell softly on the huge bear's paw, without a trace, and fell down powerlessly. It was not until this moment that he finally knew what real fear was and what the gap between strength was. As the black bear's paw got closer and closer to him, the momentum was even stronger and stronger. Wuqi's heart became increasingly fearful. In just a blink of an eye, he completely gained the upper hand, suppressing the nameless anger that suddenly burst out from his chest.
But in the middle of life and death, when the last trace of firefly-like anger in Wuqi's eyes was suppressed by the fear covering his whole body, there was no trace of it flashing through his mind that Croyd had been slapped by the second-level monster black bear to save him. It was the momentary scene in his mind that actually made Wuqi's extinguished anger burn again, and it was even more violent and huge than before. This time, two burning pillars of fire appeared in his black hole-like eyes.
"You big bastard! Go to die!" After the anger in his body rose to its extreme, Wuqi's face finally showed a ferocious look that had never been seen before. His completely distorted facial features caused by anger to stunned the Dead Bear King, and the bear paw's offensive slowed down a little. It was this moment of pause that made Wuqi grab the flaw between life and death. He suddenly shouted loudly, and then threw the nameless ancient scroll hidden in his shirt without hesitation, and the target pointed directly at the huge bear paw coming towards him.
After three "Ao...Woo...Woo" sounds like a heavy blow, and the pain instinctively burst out from the mouth of the Dead Bear King, Sakai and the students watching all this in the distance were all looking straight. It was so surprising that the huge bear paw that had been pressed in front of Wuqi suddenly shrank back.
