Chapter 66 - Chase On Horseback

The warrior raced swiftly toward the west as the rain intensified, transforming the dirt roads into a muddy pool. Undeterred by the mud, he pressed forward with determination. Along the way, he encountered devastated villages, charred houses, and fleeing people, fueling the fire of anger within him. This fiery motivation propelled him forward.

Entering a wooded area, the warrior spotted the enemy convoy concealed among the trees. Wet branches and rain-drenched leaves posed challenges, but the warrior skillfully maneuvered his horse, stealthily tailing the enemy. Within the convoy lay the colossal weapon, his target—an essential means to reach the elusive assassin.

Eventually, the convoy arrived at a vast clearing where horse carts, tents, and mounted soldiers surrounded the colossal weapon adorned with rare crystals. These crystals bestowed tremendous energy upon the weapon. Without hesitation, the warrior retrieved his bow, took aim, and released an arrow. In the wet and slippery terrain, his arrows found their mark swiftly. The first arrow struck an enemy horseman, toppling him, while subsequent arrows pierced through the enemy ranks. The warrior seamlessly transitioned from bow to sword, charging toward the convoy with a gleaming blade in hand.

In the ensuing chaos, the enemy soldiers attempted to counter the sudden assault. The warrior, armed with both sword and arrows, stormed into the convoy, engaging mounted units while striving to breach the guard surrounding the colossal weapon on the cart. As he neared the weapon, the enemy's resistance intensified, and the warrior found himself surrounded.

Rain dripped from the bright surface of his sword to the ground, every move in harmony with the rhythmic rainfall. It was as if the warrior had aligned with nature itself, responding to his enemies with the power of the elements.

Vaulting onto the cart, the warrior confronted an adversary beside the weapon. Rather than swinging his sword, he delivered a powerful kick, sending the enemy flying off the cart. Simultaneously, an archer on horseback attempted to neutralize the exposed warrior with an arrow, but he skillfully evaded the projectile.

However, as the arrow struck the mysterious weapon, an unexpected reaction occurred. Unleashing a potent and unstable sound wave, the mysterious weapon collapsed the cart, hurling the warrior to the wet ground. Struggling to rise from the impact and fatigue, he extended his arms forward. Yet, as time passed, he succumbed to exhaustion, and his eyes closed.
