[Quickshot]

[Horizontal Cleave]

2 arrows fly over and hit the tree behind them, along with it is a blue wave that didn’t reach them. Bob notches his bow and aims at the same direction and saw the two adventurers, the warrior and the archer.

“Watch out!” The warrior shouted running in front holding his sword with both hands.

Then appears what they were chasing. A form covered in dark clothing jump from down from a tree and leaps back facing the two adventurers in front of him while being cornered by Bob and the alchemist.

“It’s a mid-level golem!”

The form looks back at the farmer and the alchemist. Then head straight towards them. Bob was able to evade but the alchemist was hit head on by its kick, causing him to hit a tree from the force.

The warrior rush past Bob and went straight for the form.

[Diagonal Cleave]

The blue wave grazed the form revealing what’s underneath his cloak. Straw. Only then did Bob realizes that it is Jack. He tightened his grip on his bow and aims it at the warrior. He hesitated to lose the arrow as the other adventurer is right behind him and could kill him with his skills. Instead he aims at Jack and just follows him as if he’s aiming for him.

“He’s too fast.” Bob shouted.

“I got him, help them up.” The warrior shouted.

The archer run towards Bob and helped him retreat then he did the same to the alchemist still on the ground. He then handed a vial filled with the red liquid to both of them, before returning back to the fight.

[Triple shot]

3 consecutive arrows fly from his bow. One of them hits Jack causing him to fall stumble to the ground. The warrior didn’t waste any time and plunges at him but he was able to evade by rolling sideways.

Bob pulls his bow and releases an arrow inside the cave. Then he notches another one and aims it at Jack. Jack was able to noticed it and positions himself in between Bob and the warrior. When Bob lose the arrow, Jack evaded immediately causing the arrow to hit the warrior. He then follows up with a kick that throws the warrior back.

[Quick shot]

Both arrows hit Jack and he falls to the ground again. The 3 arrows earlier are still piercing his body which made his movements much slower.

“Muffle, here!” the archer throws the same kind of vial to the warrior.

But the throw was off, it couldn’t reach the warrior and just falls to the ground. Jack picks it up and went straight for the warrior to hit him again.

[Napalm]

Fire broke out and separates Jack from the warrior. He immediately fans the flames out before it burns the clothes.

“He’s made of straw. Keep doing it!” the warrior shouted.

“It still on cooldown!” The alchemist shouted back.

Soon they were able to recover and get in to position to corner Jack while he is busy removing the flames form his coat.

“Peeler you take his right, Raven, you handle his left and I’ll take him from the front.”

“Lower your sensitivity or turn it off.” The archer shouted.

As they circle Jack from all sides, pushing his back against the wall, the rest of the golems came. But they still focused their attack on Jack. Bob distances himself from the fight but still remains visible to the adventurers.

Jack carefully observes their actions particularly their lip movement.

[Diagonal Cleave]

[Napalm]

{Triple Shot]

Upon hearing it, Jack dodges forward while prowling to avoid the cleave and the bomb. But the archer’s arrows are far too fast for him evade completely as two of them pierced his legs causing him to fall flat in front of the warrior.

[Corrode]

[Warrior’s Might]

He tries to deflect the bomb but it breaks on contact causing some parts of it to splatter to his clothes causing it to deteriorate immediately.

The warrior swings his sword but it didn’t cut him and only blows him back. But it gives enough time for the golems to position themselves between Jack and the adventurers.

Their attacks swiftly shift from Jack to as Emi, Obi and Zuli swings their large arms at the adventurer who quickly avoid it. Compared to Jack, the three golems are far slower but are more durable as they are able to withstand the adventurer’s attacks without staggering.

Then another set of golems appeared. They were the newly created ones. Their bodies are taller than Jack and the adventurers and their slim body makes it easier for them to move quickly.

“Peener!” The warrior shouted.

“I know!” The archer moves to the warrior as he makes the golem shift their attacks to him while the warrior quickly waves the air in front of him

“Done!” The warrior then changes position with the archer while drinking the red liquid that restores their health as the archer did the same thing he did earlier.

“Sorry Raven, we can’t do it.” The archer said as he stopped evading the attacks and let the golems pummel him to the ground.

The alchemist distance himself then run towards Bob while waving his finger on the air in front of him.

“Find the ring and have the core ready. I’ll return again.”

[Napalm]

[Bomb]

He throws at the golems behind him chipping some of its body away. He then turns to the farmer and noticed his expression, mistaking it for something else.

“Go! I’ll hold them off here.” He shouted as one of the golems pierced the alchemist right in front of Bob.

Bob is still in shocked and just stared at the alchemist’s corpse. Pulling himself together rushed towards Jack.

“Are you okay?” He asks while observing the scorched clothes.

“I’m sorry for putting you in such a terrible situation my liege. Forgive me.” Jack humbly said before kneeling while his body is still pierced with arrows from the earlier fight.

“It’s fine.” Bob said before giving Jack a hug.
