The Slayer

Level 6 UNKNOWN

“What?” Max growled. “How is he doing that?”

“Probably with some obfuscation charm or ward,” Nesura said. “Many Challengers use such items, especially in worlds where the Tides of Carnage have been unleashed. Also, looks like this fellow is like Jonn. He’s accumulated more than enough Victory Shards to surpass Level 4 a while ago, and getting to Phase 99 lets him do just that.”

“Tides of Carnage?” Max asked, then shook his head. He didn’t have the time to worry about that now, because two Hunnite Knights-Errant loosed arrows at him. Max swung Stridentsong around into a Thousandfold Thread defensive blade form. The enchanted sword cut one arrow out of the air, then smashed the other into splinters upon its pommel.

Max followed through on his blade form, performing a cross-step that placed him in front of Trisha and cutting down another arrow streaking toward her face. He leveled his Magus Staff and sent a Jolting Arc ripping from its tip. The lightning bolt roared toward a pair of the Hunnite archers, only for a Double Shield to slam into existence before them. Max’s Jolting Arc spell crashed into the twinned magical barriers, broke through the first layer, then dissipated against the second, leaving a network of cracks.

The Hunnites spread out, and Max took a quick head-count of them as they rapid-fired their bows. There were six of them. Max conjured a Double Shield to cover his left flank, while he cut an arrow streaking in from his front out of the air with another Thousandfold Thread blade form. He’d counted on Trisha to hold his right flank, and the Elementalist had readily obliged, having evidently realized she was as much of a target as he was.

A wall of stone burst from the ground just before a volley of Hunnite arrows could slice home. Trisha swept her fist forward, and the stone wall erupted into a shower of broken rock that washed over a pair of Hunnite archers, tore rents in their flesh and armor, and sent them reeling.

“The Defender’s that one,” Nesura said, mentally pointing out a Hunnite on Max’s left that had stayed a bit further back from the fighting. “He’s Level 3. The rest are Warmongers, all Level 2.”

Max’s Double Shield absorbed another volley of arrows from the paired archers on his left, and the one right in front of him bounced a shot off his breastplate. Max raised his Magus Staff again. A fresh Double Shield appeared over the archers on his left flank, but Max adjusted his aim and sent a Firebolt roaring toward the Defender.

The Hunnite Defender didn’t have time to erect another magical barrier. Max’s spell blasted off his hands and incinerated a fair chunk of his shoulder before striking an empty storefront and turning it into ash. The Hunnite shrieked in agony and fell over, flailing his cauterized stumps in the air. His Double Shields flashed out of existence. Max threw himself into a roll that brought him beneath a flashing arrow and within blade’s range of the archer in front of him.
