With vast eyes, Gabe was stunned as he appeared on the two daggers floating in entrance of him. He had already tried to manage two daggers on the identical time, however the mastery he needed to management them was very low. Whereas earlier than the mission he wanted full focus to manage the daggers, identical to somebody who had simply discovered the way to use Chopsticks to eat sushi, Gabe might now really feel that he managed the daggers like an skilled sushi eater. As a lot as he did not management the 2 daggers on the identical time just like the Asians who had eaten utilizing them virtually since start, he was already in a position to management them very properly to do easier issues.
“Uff…” Max sighed as he sat on the bottom, respiratory arduous after ending killing all of the monsters.
The scene round them was nearly like a sea of Gnoll corpses, as they’d killed at the least 40 or 50 of the monsters. Among the many individuals within the group, the one ones who weren’t fully worn out had been Gabe, Caitlyn and Marcus, as their weapons did ranged harm with out a lot bodily effort, not like Madison who needed to pull her bowstring nonstop.
So the distinction in the best way everybody was performing was fairly huge.
Max, Draum, the younger man with the spear and Madison had been very out of breath, whereas Caitlyn and Marcus had been wandering among the many corpses of monsters in search of Mana stones, however with out a lot fatigue. Gabe was just one barely pale from the continual use of Mana, however nonetheless relaxed sufficient to play with two daggers floating in entrance of him.
Luckily, Caitlyn and Marcus discovered a Rank E Mana Stone, which could possibly be offered for 20 to 30 thousand, which, after being divided among the many group of seven individuals, would nonetheless go away round 3.5k for every of them.
Contemplating {that a} Rank E mission paid 1k, simply the revenue from that Mana stone was sufficient to pay for 3.5 extra missions that they must do. The one who was most proud of that was Caitlyn, who, regardless of customizing weapons for different Gamers, nonetheless had a debt in her title that wanted to be settled as quickly as doable.
“Hey dude, you probably did nice with that dagger.” Max smiled as he checked out Gabe, who was taking part in with the floating daggers.
Gabe commanded the daggers to return to his waist as he smiled again. “Thanks, bro. I attempted my greatest to get the very best out of it.”
“You slicing the monsters’ tendons was of immense assist to us. I believe the likelihood of somebody dying, or at the least being significantly injured on this battle was very excessive; at the least, with out that help it might have been. Properly carried out Gabe.” Draum praised with a smile.
The ambiance within the group was superb, primarily as a result of everybody knew that the quantity of monsters they’d managed to kill this time was so excessive simply due to Gabe’s help, which made many sigh internally due to the distinction in energy between a Participant and a Developer. Regardless of each being Rank E, it was clear to the group that even on Rank D missions, Gabe’s energy can be very helpful. This was true much more so after Gabe managed to manage his energy even higher, since initially he might solely management one dagger, however after that battle it was clear from his demonstration that it might not be not possible to manage two daggers within the close to future. If he was already so helpful whereas solely controlling one dagger, think about if he might management 10 daggers on the identical time? He would nearly be like a god of warfare on a chaotic battlefield like this one they had been on.
After a couple of minutes of banter, the group lastly rested sufficient to enter the Gnolls’ camp and at last kill the chief of those monsters. Even when they’d killed practically 90% of the Gnolls’ inhabitants, it might solely take a couple of months for the Gnolls not solely to get better that quantity, however to double that quantity. So that they knew that regardless of having to struggle a really highly effective monster, they needed to maintain going.
Trying on the camp in entrance of them, even Gabe, who had by no means participated in quests and handled highly effective monsters, might really feel the hazard that it might be to strategy this.
“Wowowowoooooooo…”
From afar, they might hear the howl of an offended Gnoll, which was quickly joined by a couple of extra howls from different Gnolls who most likely stayed on the camp to guard their chief.
“I believe they found out our location! Let’s go!” Draum ordered with a critical expression.
It did not take lengthy for them to reach on the middle of the camp. There was a giant Gnoll surrounded by 5 different smaller Gnolls, all geared up with metallic armor, which no one knew the place they acquired it, and to make issues worse, they had been additionally geared up with metallic weapons.
Seeing that there was a Gnoll holding a bow with a metallic arrow pointed of their course, Gabe turned very attentive.
Swoosh!
Gabe did not even need to pay shut consideration to see the Gnoll taking pictures that arrow with none mercy. The Gnoll’s goal, extremely, was Gabe!
Not solely was Gabe barely stunned by this Gnoll’s angle, along with the weapon in his hand, the opposite Gamers had been additionally stunned by it. They did not anticipate the Gnolls to really have ranged weapons, which had been a lot tougher to cope with.
Draum desperately tried to boost his protect to guard Gabe from the arrow, however Draum’s muscle pace wasn’t as quick because the pace of the arrow’s flight. This induced everybody’s expressions to freeze, already imagining the bloody scene that may be Gabe’s head exploding from the impression of the arrow shot by a Excessive Rank E monster. However to their shock, the arrow that was quick approaching Gabe shortly stopped.
Trying on the arrow simply inches away from his face, Gabe broke out in a chilly sweat, mentally thanking himself for being ready for this and with the ability to react to cease this arrow. If it had been earlier than the earlier battle, Gabe would solely have the arrogance to alter the trajectory of that arrow to avoid wasting himself, however contemplating that there have been a number of Gamers beside him, the likelihood of him altering the course of that arrow at such excessive pace and making it hit one other Participant was too excessive, which might most likely trigger a catastrophe! However now, with the facility he amassed and mastered in battle, regardless of consuming a variety of Mana, it wasn’t such a tough activity to manage this arrow.
Indignant for the primary time, Gabe mentioned nothing, and utilizing his energy, Gabe aimed the arrow again on the Gnoll and used an enormous quantity of Mana to attempt to make the arrow fly as quick as doable. Simply because the Gamers had been shocked at how tensely Gabe stopped the arrow and within the subsequent second aimed the arrow on the Gnoll, sending it again, the Gnolls had been additionally shocked at what had simply occurred, not understanding what this human had carried out to the arrow to cease it, till all of a sudden the arrow was flying once more within the reverse course of the trajectory that it was.
Whoosh!
The Gnoll who shot the arrow at Gabe did not even have time to react because the sharp metal-tipped arrow got here flying again nearly as quick as he despatched it and penetrated his cranium, inflicting blood to leak all over the place because the monster’s physique fell.
Wowoooooooo!
The large Gnoll lastly reacted and was enraged to see one of the vital highly effective and constant minions beside him die so simply and began working in direction of these people. The opposite Gnolls additionally reacted and wasted no time attacking this group, swinging their weapons angrily to try to kill everybody. As this time there was no secure place to cover, Draum wouldn’t have the ability to defend everybody, making Max and the younger man with the spear additionally need to face Gnolls on their very own with out with the ability to depend on Draum’s protect to guard them.
Draum was holding the largest Gnoll together with his protect, the Gnoll with Peak Rank E energy, whereas Max and the younger man had been every contending with a Excessive Rank E Gnoll.
The opposite two Gnolls had nobody to cease them, so that they ran desperately in direction of Gabe, Madison, Marcus, and Caitlyn, who did not suppose twice earlier than opening fireplace on these monsters.
Regardless that the Gnolls had been in metallic armor, there was nonetheless a variety of pores and skin uncovered, which made it doable for them to take harm, however with the thickness of the cover they’d as Excessive Rank E monsters, Caitlyn and Marcus’s bullets did not penetrate as deeply or do as a lot harm as they wished.
However feeling the metals wrapped across the our bodies of these monsters, a bloody concept got here to Gabe’s thoughts!
