Second World Novel

Chapter 1084 1084. Stealing A Pet



While Four Winds was tussling with Mkulme, Jack dashed at high speed chasing after Tumwa. Tumwa, who saw Jack coming at her, threw her flying knives while retreating. She attempted to kite Jack.

Jack’s two claw weapons swiped around knocking the knives that came. As a mythical grade, Tumwa’s flying knives delivered very high damage. But luckily, Jack had leveled up his rare elite claw weapons to a very high level as well. Combined with his high strength stat from three classes, Tumwa’s knife’s damage didn’t eclipse Jack’s standard attack by three times. Hence, Jack didn’t receive any damage as long as his claw weapons accurately hit the incoming knives.

​ Tumwa’s knives flew at high speed, but Jack was also not slow. Jack’s expertise in sword art had reached a stage where his swing accuracy was exceptional. So, deflecting all those knives was not a problem. However, all those knives caused Jack to unable to run at full speed. This meant he was unable to catch up to Tumwa who continued to move away.

Tumwa herself was incredibly astonished. This was the first time a beastmaster was able to chase her to such an extent. If she slowed down, that beastmaster would catch up.

Jack knew that he couldn’t let Tumwa continue kiting him like this, so he called his wolves out. The ten wolves immediately spread out once called. They ran after Tumwa from different directions.

Tumwa had no choice but to stop to deal with these charging wolves. Her body spun and thirty concealed needles flew in all directions. Hitting all the wolves.

Jack didn’t let this chance go. He activated Strength of the Wild and dashed forward.

Tumwa was also casting a spell when she was throwing the needles while spinning. When her spin stopped, her spell formation was completed. Fire bolts shot at Jack.

Jack similarly slashed these fire bolts as he did her flying knives, but he then noticed some small pebbles following these fire bolts. They were the exploding bullets!

He knew he couldn’t dodge all these bullets. He activated Dragon Eye to slow time and positioned himself where he only needed to deal with one bullet. He slashed the bullet and it exploded. This time he suffered excess damage. The damage was not too much to worry about, but the explosion force caused his forward movement to stop.

As he stopped, he sensed something from behind. Tumwa had thrown the boomerang while Jack was distracted by the fire bolts and exploding bullets. Relying on his mana sense to pinpoint the boomerang’s exact position, Jack performed a scorpion kick and kicked the boomerang away. Tumwa was very impressed her opponent canceled her concealed ambush in such a way.

Some of Jack’s wolves were paralyzed by the concealed needles, but some weren’t. The ones that didn’t, lunged at Tumwa, whose body again spun. She made a full roundhouse kick and smacked all the wolves to the side. At the same time, she called her pet out, the armored basilisk.

‘This is it!” Jack exclaimed in his mind. As soon as the armored basilisk was out, he used Beast Command.

Once the armored basilisk was summoned, it knocked all the nearby wolves in its vicinity using its tail, then it abruptly stopped moving. Tumwa also paused after seeing her pet’s strange movement. she felt something was off between her connection with the pet.

All of a sudden, the armored basilisk turned to her and its eyes glowed.

“What…?!” She was stunned. The petrified gaze hit her. Her body started to turn stiff.

Before her whole body was covered by a layer of stone, she cast a quick spell using her left hand. A purifying light fell on her and the petrification was removed.

“Damn it to hell…! She has a Cure spell as well!” Jack cursed.

While Tumwa was hit by the petrify gaze, Jack approached. He finally caught up to her. At the same time, Jack’s wolves sprang back, covering Tumwa’s escape path. The armored basilisk also advanced, using its claws, teeth, and tail to attack.𝓷π’ͺ𝗏𝗲𝓡𝗇𝗲xt.𝐜π’ͺ𝓢

The wolves’ HP was in bad condition since they had been continuously hit by Tumwa. Jack used Beast Howl, healing the wolves’ HP and increasing their attributes. The armored basilisk’s attributes also increased since it was now considered an ally.

Tumwa didn’t stop throwing her flying knives while using kicks to deal with the approaching opponents. She tried using Shooting Dash to escape encirclement, but Jack positioned his wolves with his grandfather’s Nine Stars Formation. The formation made it difficult for Tumwa to find a proper path. It also allowed Jack and the others to adjust and surround Tumwa again after her dash, keeping her trapped.

It was as Four Winds said. Although Tumwa was one of the natives who had martial arts, her expertise wasn’t comparable to real martial art experts. Jack utilized openings in her movement to land several hits. The armored basilisk also landed a few hits by tanking Tumwa’s knives using brute force.

Even so, Tumwa’s speed and agility were impressive since she was a mythical grade. If not for Jack’s wolves running interference and the armored basilisk’s joined assault, Jack would most likely be unable to land an attack.

Though she suffered damage, Tumwa didn’t show a panicked expression. She had been casting a spell ever since she was surrounded. No matter how hard Jack tried hitting her to disrupt her concentration, the spell formation persisted.

Jack was concerned since the spell formation contained many runes. It was finally completed after six runes were formed.

When the spell was cast, many large fireballs were hurled in all directions. Jack didn’t insist on attacking, he jumped away as some of the fireballs turned and came at him. It was the Flame Wrath spell.

The nearby wolves were hit by the hurling fireballs, which exploded and caused large fire damage. The same thing happened to the armored basilisk.

While the basilisk survived due to possessing high defense and a large amount of HP, Jack’s wolves didn’t. All ten died after the exploding fireballs consumed their HP which was again lowered from Tumwa’s repeated attacks.

Jack used Shooting Dash when the fireballs almost hit him. They exploded but he was already out of the explosion range due to Shooting Dash’s swift movement. The skill’s three dashes had him circled back to Tumwa again. Jack was not going to let the orc put a distance from him again.

Jack could see Tumwa’s face when he was back next to her. She was visibly annoyed. She thought she had chased this outworlder away.

When Jack was about to resume his clash with Tumwa, he heard a pained cry. He couldn’t help but looked over and saw Four Winds in a close-quarter grapple with Mkulme. Mkulme was in an upper position pushing Four Winds down, his two karambits dug into Four Winds’ shoulders.
