Rastel hissed in pain as his body spasmed from the shock. He could almost feel his insides trembling violently as he hit the ground.
"Rein in your baseless arrogance in front of me mage, you can't escape my arrows!" Waeser calmly strung another bow and aimed it at his target.
Amba roared in displeasure and charged at the tree where the elf stood. Waeser seeing the charging elf fired off two arrows at Rastel before nimbly leaping to another tree some distance away. All he had to do was to take down the master and the golem would go down. He had no need to face it off by himself, that would be suicidal.
The two arrows flew towards Rastel who immediately raised his immortal's blade. He shifted to the side to dodge one and used the blade to deflect the other.
Sensing that he was alright, Amba looked around before decisively smashing its fists into the ground. The forest floor cracked as pieces of stone and earth were raised. It grabbed at two large pieces and flung it with all its strength at the elf.
Waeser although panicked was quick to react as he quickly shot three arrows with red glows on their tips at the approaching missile. The first piece was blasted to bits and he quickly ran deeper into the forest to avoid the second one.
As he recovered from the attack, he looked around and suddenly discovered a problem. He couldn't find the muan!
He instantly went on alert when he heard the rumbling of leaves just behind him. He turned around on guard to prepare against a spell only to see a blade flash right in front of him with lightning crackling around it.
BLTZZ! CLANG!!!
He blocked the flat of the blade with his wooden bow but suddenly shuddered as he felt the electricity running through his body.
"Payback bitch!" Rastel muttered under his breath as he quickly turned around with amazing reflexes and sent a kick into the elf's side!
He had already recovered while Amba was distracting the elf as originally planned. After pulling the arrow out with great pain and casting Insta heal to stop the bleeding, he had quickly scaled a nearby tree and went around to ambush his foe.
"Ugh!" Waeser grunted as he flew to the ground under the assault. He tumbled a bit before coming to a stop before he painfully felt for wounds.
He was just about to get up when he saw a shadow loom over him, he saw the golem with both arms raised and very much ready to smash him into a pulp. Waeser's eyes widened as the golem's eyes twinkled.
BOOM!
Amba missed as Waeser rolled across the floor with desperate speed. As he rolled over to a kneeling position, his hands were already going to his back as he pulled out an arrow and aimed it at the golem.
Explosive shot!
BOOM!!!
Amba stumbled from the attack but quickly recovered. Waeser didn't hesitate and fired consecutive attacks.
Explosive shot!
Explosive shot!
BOOM!
BOOM!
This time, Amba fell back from the attacks with a loud crash. Waeser quickly nocked another arrow before looking around for his target. He turned to the trees and saw the muan moving to cast a spell and he quickly fired an arrow to disrupt him.
Rastel saw the attack and instantly ceased his casting, even though the basic spells he knew had nearly zero casting time, the elf's arrows were truly fast!
He jumped to another tree and was about to cast again when he saw another arrow coming for him.
"Damn this guy!" he jumped down from the trees and decided to openly attack. Now that the elf was down on the ground too, he could use the advantage of having stronger firepower.
Waeser kept on shooting normal arrows as he retreated slowly from the recovering golem, but the muan seemed surprisingly skilled in dodging. He turned and flipped at the last moment to dodge the arrows and for those that he couldn't dodge, he used a blade to deflect them.
'I should change my strategy' Waeser thought to himself as he pulled the next arrow, this one had a layer of earth around it as he fired it without showing any excess movement.
Rastel was dodging the arrows trying to figure out a weak point to attack when the power arrow came. He quickly extended the immortal's blade to deflect it not sensing anything wrong with the arrow until initial contact was made.
'Wait what?!' he instantly felt his right hand twisting as it tried to diverge the strength of the arrow. This arrow was different than the rest!
Instead of fighting against the power, he decisively took his feet off the ground and rotated around in the direction of the arrow to mitigate the damage. Sparks rang out as the immortal's blade clashed against the arrow's metal head before the arrow flew off to the side.
Rastel landed safely, blade in hand and turned around in time to see another arrow coming for him. Not sure if this was another power shot, he dodged to the right to avoid it.
This was what Waeser was waiting for!
The elf quickly shot the arrow that he was holding on to for a while now. This one had a glittering green substance on its surface as it flew towards the muan with great speed!
Noticing the second arrow, Rastel moved to dodge again but he was too slow to recover from his previous dodge. The arrow scraped at the side of his right arm as it flew by, that was enough!
Rastel not noticing anything felt he had dodged the attack as he dashed towards the elf now seeing an opening. Waeser just stood there looking at him as if he was frozen on the spot. Although Rastel was confused, he wouldn't waste this chance!
He had Amba who had now recovered to charge at the elf from the side. He was just about to wave his arms and fire a fire ball spell when he felt an intense pain run through his right arm and to his shoulder till he felt a pounding pain resounding through his skull!
"Nghk!" he tumbled down to the ground as he felt the intense pain!
ROAR!!!
Amba roared as it saw Rastel fall. Now not so ignorant to this attack, Rastel quickly realized he had been poisoned.
'Poisoned two days in a row, it's either I have really bad luck or people just don't like playing fair.' He trembled once again as he felt the pain.
Amba crumbled down on its knees and released grunts of pain with a sad look in its eyes. It had failed twice now to protect its master from harm and felt like it couldn't serve its purpose.
Seeing both the muan and the golem down, Waeser lowered his guard as he slowly approached his target. The muan was trembling in agony and was twisting and turning as if the pain was unbearable.
"The poison I used would flow through your blood and cause intense pain and paralysis after a while. Your heartbeat would slowly weaken and you would lose all your bodily functions till you die a slow death." Waeser kept walking forward with confidence, the fight had taken longer than he had expected and he had even suffered a minor injury but it didn't matter now, it was all over.
"It is a poison normally used by hunters to take out larger animals and magic beasts, very fitting for you don't you think?" he added with a low chuckle as he saw the muan had stopped moving, the paralysis was probably kicking in.
"Only a healer that is at least level 25 has a chance of purging the poison out of your system, I doubt you would have immediate access to one, if you have one at all." He casually walked by the kneeling golem with its eyes casted downwards.
"Naturally I have the antidote, but I will only feed it to you in small drops. Just enough to keep you alive till you reach the Blue leaf guild and the higher ups have a little chat with you" he smiled smugly as he neared the muan. He felt immense satisfaction from successfully taking down one these privileged bastards with special sub-classes, it felt like this was what he was after his whole life!
"….dm….qw….fgewf….adew…." a noise came out of the prone body of his target.
"Oh, you still have the strength to talk, well it is too late to negotiate now. I have already captured you."
"I said…." Rastel seemed to struggle to raise up his head from the floor.
"Don't you think you talk too much? It is really irritating." Rastel's smiling face looked back at him.
'What?' Waeser was surprised before he heard a low rumbling behind him. Amba had charged forward and smashed forward with a back hand slap at the green haired elf!
"Shit!" Waeser cursed as he raised up his bow to tank the hit.
CRACK!! SNAP!!!
The bow snapped in half under the attack as Waeser flew backwards. He dug his heels into the ground and created two narrow ridges as he came to a stop still holding onto the two broken pieces of his bow. All of a sudden, he heard a low voice whispering near him.
"You really underestimated my golem, next time, don't talk so much." The muan was standing right behind him!
'What!? What about the poison!!?' Waeser promptly turned around and jumped back so that he could see what ever attack was coming for him but all he could see was a flashing silver light.
Carving series! First strike!
The immortal's blade glowed with dim light as Rastel slashed it from the ground up at the elf. The blade swished in a graceful arc as it created a long slash right onto the elf's face and through his right eye.
"ARGH!!!!" Waeser screamed out in pain as he stumbled back while grabbing his face. He didn't have time for another yell when Amba's well time hit struck the back of his head and he was smashed head first into the floor where he lay still.
"Heh, that wasn't so hard in the end" Rastel chuckled as he also fell face first into the ground. This time, the paralysis was really setting in.
