nScatter Shot!

nMarvin squinted. Seeing the sky instantly filled with arrows raining down toward him, he still managed to keep himself even more calm!

nScatter Shot was a common ranger’s long distance skill. It usually didn’t have much of an impact because it wasn’t accurate.

nBut it could be extremely troublesome for Marvin in this situation!

nThis alley was extremely narrow. If Marvin wanted to escape, he could if he left now. Wolf was already dead after all.

nUsing his dexterity he could definitely escape!

n

"But if I escaped, finding this woman again might be very difficult!’

nThinking of it, Marvin couldn’t help but grind his teeth!

nStake it all!

nEnduring the pain, he suddenly burst toward the left wall!

nAnti-Gravity Steps!

nHe tilted his body at an angle of roughly 45 degrees from the wall, twisted his ankle while starting to run up, but still managed to run up stably.

n

"Woosh!

"

nThe fierce rain of arrows brushed past him. There was even an arrow that pierced his clothes!

n‘Close call! Luckily there is no poison on the arrows!’ Marvin’s heart was beating pretty fast.

nHe reckoned that tonight was his most dangerous encounter yet.

nKilling an archer that occupied high ground was very challenging, especially when Marvin had no shield!

nAnti-Gravity Steps couldn’t let him run on the wall for a long time. After dodging that fierce rain of arrows, he fell back down on the ground, accidentally landing on his right arm!

nThe arrow injury hurt even more.

nBlood flowed out.

nThat arrow had already affected Marvin’s sense of balance, causing him to make an error in judging his body’s movement.

n‘Damnit, the duration of Anti-Gravity Steps has decreased by almost half a second…’ Marvin clutched the arrow, cursing in anger in his heart.

nHis health slowly decreased due to his blood loss, as did his stamina.

nBut he still had no intention to flee!

n‘Must kill this woman!’

n‘This is the Night Walker advancement’s first task. If I can’t handle this, what about the next one?’

nMarvin suddenly became focused!

n

"Woosh!

"

nAnother arrow shot.

nLuckily, darksight let Marvin clearly see every move done by the other side, helping him dodge it.

nHe ran in the alley, silently approaching the roof Kitten was standing on!

nThe distance between them was now short.

nWhen Marvin got to the archer’s blind spot, she would be unable to retaliate.

nBut the archer didn’t give up!

nShe bit her lip and quickly shot more arrows!

nMarvin’s moved like a ghost making it very difficult to hit him while moving, so all those arrows missed their target!

nThe distance between both of them was constantly decreasing.

nSuddenly, the archer sneered.

nAbout there…

nThis distance!

nA strange mark suddenly flashed in her eyes!

nEven if Marvin was having trouble dodging, he still paid minutious attention to the archer’s every move!

nHe was able to clearly see the mark due to darksight... it was Moving Shot!

n‘Damnit! This woman actually learned such a high-end skill!’

nMarvin’s heart sank!

nHe finally understood why the other side was certain that victory was within her hands, why she had still not retreated even though he was already this close!

nBecause she had this card!

nMoving Shot: Large increase to shooting accuracy toward moving targets!

nThis skill description was very vague, but Marvin knew that at this distance, the other side’s arrows would all have at least a fifty percent chance of hitting him.

nThere was still some distance before he’d reach the other side’s blind spot.

nAnd at this distance, she should be able to shoot three more arrows!

nIf even one of the three hit Marvin, it would because very dangerous for him!

nWhat could he do?

nMarvin, who usually faced death calmly, was feeling a bit dazed!

nA small archer with assistance from the terrain forced a Ruler of the Night into this situation!

nReally too miserable.

nBoth sides coldly watched each other.

nMarvin instantly made his decision.

nKeep moving forward!

n...

n

"Go to hell!

" Kitten muttered.

nThe arrow which had been aiming at Marvin all along was released.

"Woosh!

" The 1st arrow was shot, aiming at Marvin’s stomach!

nShe wanted a critical hit!

nMoving shot greatly increased her originally impressive accuracy. This arrow was very accurate and would soon pierce Marvin’s stomach!

nAt the crucial time, Marvin’s body suddenly shook strangely!

nShadow Step!

nThe life-saving skill once again displayed its effect, as Marvin forcefully altered his path to the right by half a meter, dodging nimbly.

n

"Beautiful dodge,

" the archer coldly remarked.

n2nd arrow!

nThis arrow was like the previous one, extremely accurate, aiming straight at Marvin’s neck!

nMarvin’s heartbeat crazily sped up. In that split second he seemingly forgot the pain coursing through his body and kicked the ground with his right foot!

n

"Snap!

"

nIt sounded like his ankle breaking!

nImitation Shadow Step!

n

"Woosh!

"

nThe arrow passed by his ear, as he dodged for the second time.

n

"Eh? Two skills?

" The archer felt surprised but maintained her grim appearance.

nBecause she still had the third arrow!

nThe fierce 3rd arrow aimed at Marvin’s heart!

nIt seemed that this arrow, no matter what, he would be unable to dodge it!

n

"He’s screwed!

" The archer squinted.

n...

nMarvin didn’t give up at the most important moment. He knew his body like the back of his hand.

nHe couldn’t muster any strength from his right shoulder because of the arrow. The right ankle had snapped, a very serious injury!

nIt’d be reasonable to say that it would hurt.

nBut Marvin couldn’t feel any pain.

nThis wasn’t numbness, but rather some kind of very mystical state.

nHe looked helplessly at that 3rd arrow flying toward him, about to take his life.

nHis potential was thoroughly aroused during a life and death situation!

nHis left foot twisted and kicked the ground. It stood to reason that after using Shadow Step the first time, his left foot would already be unable to support too much of a burden. It couldn’t use force wildly like that again.

nBut he chose to do so.

nAll-out!

nBurst!

nAnother Imitation Shadow Step!

n

"Snap…

"

nThe left ankle also broke… He simply couldn’t be more miserable!

nBut this time, it also let Marvin smoothly dodge the 3rd arrow. He rolled on the ground, directly landing beneath the roof Kitten was standing on!

nThis was her blind spot, and she definitely couldn’t see Marvin.

n‘Truly awkward…’

n‘But it’s finally time to counterattack.’

nMarvin forced a smile, half-lying on the ground.

nBoth feet had snapped. This fragile body being forced to unleash such strength was simply terrible.

nFortunately, the situation had finally turned around.

n...

n

"He actually dodged!

"

n

"How could this be?

"

nThe female archer was standing on the roof, extremely shocked. Marvin was just under her feet. She very cautiously extended her head, wanting to see Marvin’s situation.

nBut she didn’t notice a thin rope extending from a corner. It suddenly coiled around her foot!

n

"Aaah!

" she let out in alarm.

nA powerful force pulled her ankle, dragging her down from the three story house!

nKitten couldn’t adjust her body because the rope was shrinking at a frightening speed. She was immediately dragged down, ruthlessly crashing on the ground!

n

"Bang!

"

nShe was in really bad shape!

nMarvin had been pulling on the other end of the wishful rope, and stood up with difficulty. He pushed his dagger against the neck of the archer who was gasping for air.

n

"Where did you hide the money? Say it and I’ll end your suffering. Don’t and I’ll carefully torture you.

"

nHis voice was very calm yet grim.

nThe archer had a bitter smile. She struggled and took out a scroll from between her breasts and it seemed like she wanted to say something.

nBut Marvin had already slashed with his curved dagger!

n

"No need to explain, I’ll study it myself.

"

nMarvin coldly killed her.

nAt this time, an old person appeared on the other side of the alley.

n

"You are in a really bad shape. But you went all out. Just like me when I was young,

" the old blacksmith softly said.

n

"Both feet snapped. Your body is really too crappy.

"

nHe then helped Marvin up, taking the woman’s scroll and giving it to Marvin while doing so.

nThe two staggered their way into the darkness.

n...

nIn the blacksmith’s shop, the old blacksmith was busy doing something.

nMarvin consulted his battle log.

nAt that time, he saw two lines which made him feel surprised:

nFor arousing your potential in battle, you gained a specialty – Endurance

nFor arousing your potential in battle, you gained a specialty – Burst
