Chapter 110 - 110. Battling The Lizardman Chief And Its Guards



Jack's head was spinning as he lied on the floor of the hut. Pieces of broken wood were strewn all around him.

"Are you all right?" Peniel voice sounded from above him.

Her voice helped him to force the dizziness away. He looked to the source of her voice and found her floating above. The hut that the Lizardman Chief sent him crashing into happened to be the one that Peniel was sitting on. Seeing Jack disappeared inside the hut, she promptly flew in to check on him.

"I'm fine," Jack said as he collected himself and rose up. "Damn! Those lizardmen have many skills at their disposal."

"Of course, do you think that they will be the same as the Lizardman minions you killed in drove at the ravine?" Peniel commented.

Jack took out another basic healing potion to recover the health he had lost. He only had another three potions left after this. He heard running footsteps that were approaching the hut. Jack looked around the hut, there was a wooden door behind him. He opened the door just as the Lizardman Chief's face peeked in from the hole on the other side of the wall.

Jack presented the face with a Mana Bullet before exited out from the door. Once he was out in the open, he heard a whoosh sound as an arrow stuck into the wall of the hut just a couple of inches from his head. He quickly ran to the next nearest hut.

The ground cracked apart as he ran, he knew the Lizardman Shaman had used its spell again. His reaction was much better now that he knew his opponent's move. He jumped forward to evade the vines. When the vines changed direction to pursue him, he slashed his sword in mid-air and cut the enclosing vines. He fell to the ground and rolled away and hid behind another hut.

At this time, the door of the hut where he came out from several moments ago, exploded into splinters as the Lizardman Chief barged through.

Jack ran further into the encampment. Weaving through the wooden huts as he tried to break away from the Lizardmen's perception. Finally, the three Lizardmen seemed to have lost him. They looked around in confusion as they continued to search for this intruder.

After he saw the monsters no longer know his whereabouts, Jack no longer ran with speed, he instead crept slowly to avoid making a sound. He tried to hide from the three Lizardmen as he made his way towards the Shaman. It was easier for him as he could use his radar to pinpoint their positions, and he had been paying attention to the Shaman's red dot since he broke away from them, so he knew which one was the Shaman. He needed to take them out one by one in order to win this battle.

The Lizardman Chief was frustrated as it could not find Jack. It started to break down all the doors of the huts he passed through. One was even getting razed to the ground by its violent axe swinging.

As Jack was inching closer to the place where the Lizardman Shaman was, he found out that the area around was full of thick creeping vines. They seemed to be alive and constantly moving. The Lizardman Shaman probably noticed that Jack had made itself his primary target, hence it was covering the area around it with protective vines. Jack had no doubt those plants would instantly snatch at him once he stepped onto their territory.

Jack moved again, trying to get a glimpse at the Lizardman Shaman. Good thing was the monster was standing on the top of a hut. It probably was trying to get a better view by taking a higher elevation. After finding the Shaman's spot, Jack prepared to launch his offensive. He first checked again on his radar for the other two monsters, they were some distance away.

He pointed his staff at the Lizardman Shaman, and fired off Mana Bullet. Then he cast Energy Bolts that had come off cooldown. He then continued his range offensive with standard attacks from his magic staff.

After his magic staff had been upgraded to level 21, its damage level was coming close to his sword, despite it being only an uncommon grade. Combined with high damage from Magician's spells, his range attacks were not lacking compared to his melee. The Mana Bullet scored 144 damage, while the five Energy Bolts dealt damages ranging from 60 to 64.

The Lizardman Shaman was stunned by the sneak attacks. Its concentration wavered as Jack saw the creeping vines around it stopped moving. Not wasting the chance, Jack continued to fire off standard range attacks from his staff as he ran towards the hut that the Lizardman Shaman was standing on.

The vines were crunching as he stepped onto them, but they stayed still. As Jack was running while shooting, many of his range attacks had missed. The Lizardman Shaman snapped out of its daze and immediately returned to control the vines. When the vines came back to life, Jack was already jumping up. He kicked on one of the protruded wood parts on the wall of the hut and pushed himself higher onto the roof where the Shaman was at.

The vines were climbing up trying to grab at his legs as he jumped. They almost got him before he landed on the roof, but Jack swung his sword down while doing a somersault, cutting those vines that were about to reach him. When he landed, he could see the terrified look on the Lizardman Shaman's face.

Jack did not show any mercy as he started hacking at the monster. He positioned himself so as the Shaman's body was blocking the Lizardman Archer. This way the archer could not shoot its arrow at him without hitting its comrade. The Lizardman Archer tried moving to the side to get an angle where he could hit Jack, but Jack adjusted his position, giving it no chance to shoot.

The Lizardman Chief was stomping back furiously as it made its way towards Jack. Jack ignored it for now as it was still far away. He fully utilized the chance he had now by delivering unbroken chain slashes onto the Lizardman Shaman.

Its HP was decreasing rapidly. It was obvious that the Shaman was mainly a supporter unit. It had no capability to defend itself once its enemy got closed to it. And it could not cast a spell as its spell kept on getting interrupted. Because unlike Jack, whose spells could be cast instantly, the Shaman needed time to chant its spells.

While Jack bullied the Lizardman Shaman and evading Lizardman Archer's arrow, he didn't forget about the Boss. His attention to his radar never wavered. When the Lizardman Chief was around ten meters away, he sent the Lizardman flying towards the Archer again with Power Strike. He cast Magic Bullet rapidly and hit the Lizardman Shaman while it was still in the air.

He then turned around and jumped down from the hut just as the Lizardman Chief performing the leaping attack again. It chopped its axe down following its jumping momentum and demolished the hut that Jack was on a moment ago. Jack looked back as the woods tumbled down all over due to the violent strike.

He did not know what was the cooldown of the Lizardman Chief's leap attack. He didn't want to take a risk and just treated as if the Lizardman Chief could already use the attack again. And he was right. If he didn't run away early, he would be among those tumbling woods.

The Lizardman Chief kicked the woods on the floor to clear the way, and then chased after Jack. Jack returned to his tactic of hide and seek. He ran behind another hut to get away from the monster's perception. He planned to make another sneak attack on the Shaman again once they lost him.

The Lizardman Chief let out a furious roar seeing his opponent's cowardly tactic. He brandished his axe to his side and then spin his body around rapidly, crashing into the hut that Jack disappeared to. The whole hut exploded into numerous wooden blocks.

Jack was shocked by the violent display.

"Are you for real?!" He exclaimed as the Lizardman Chief burst through the hut that he had used for cover.

The whirlwind move that the Chief used was still ongoing. It continued to spin as he approached Jack with speed. Jack turned around as he knew he could not escape. This time he managed to put Magic Shield in front and blocked the spinning attack, but it still sent him flying and caused him some damage.
