CHAPTER 17: BATTLE IN THE FOREST

The rogue moved first, his daggers flashing toward my face.

I had no idea what was happening, and why Kristan had deliberately provoked their wrath, but I didn’t care right now.

My life was on the line, so it was time to fight.

A fireball exploded against my shield just before he made contact with me. I was surprised both by the sudden attack from his party member and by how well the shield absorbed the damage.

The spell rocked my body and sent me staggering backward, almost breaking the bones in my arm.

The female mage’s spell had power, I had to give her that.

Then the rogue struck too. Two razor-sharp daggers pierced my armor, skin, and dug into my flesh.

The tips barely missed my collarbones as I hastily fell backward.

I tried to raise my shield but failed as incredible pain flared up inside me. I could see my blood spurting out.

[Heal] wouldn’t be fast enough, so I used my one trump card, the skill I got after Chester ate Aldon.

I activated [Stalwart]. The skill healed all damage and made me invulnerable for nine whole seconds.

Blood suddenly spurted all over my face as the rogue’s head exploded and a silvery spear tip flashed before me. It was covered in essence, which meant that Kristan had used a skill to kill the rogue in a single attack.

The rogue’s body hit the ground, nothing more than a useless bag of flesh.

Kristan swung his spear in an arc and then stabbed out at the bald tank.

The tank let out a cry, then activated some kind of protection spell. Before long, everyone stepped into the fray.

Spells and skills activated on both sides, and they negated each other after a brief clash, but that was just the beginning.

Everything turned to mayhem, but I felt a surge of calm awareness flooding me.

Chester removed my fear, making sure I wouldn’t panic and run, thus opening myself to back-attacks. Then the mimic’s armor shifted into existence and covered me in mere seconds, giving me an added layer of protection.

I didn’t feel any rise in stats.

The ooze surrounding my body was my mimic’s, not my own. That probably meant the mimic’s stats would count toward absorbing the first attack that would inevitably hit me, and I would stay unharmed.

I turned toward the priest and mage. The male priest turned to run, leaving the female spellcaster to herself.

She turned around and cursed as I ran straight at her.

“No! Please don’t!” the woman cried, trying to block my attack with her staff.

Be it stupidity or my general chivalry toward women, I didn’t attack her and instead went for the running priest.

Unfortunately, he was faster.

He’d gotten out of my melee range in mere moments, but I had a solution.

I glanced over my shoulder and made sure the woman wasn’t targeting me, then I re-equipped my bow, quiver, and arrows, nocked one of the projectiles, and used [Snipe].

The telltale sound of the bowstring snapping resounded all around me, and a moment later the arrow struck the priest’s right shoulder.
