“Kh!” Nathan stood up. His hand and head hurt, but he could still fight. If the enemies were stronger than them, he might have died. It was no wonder Fenrir suggested testing it here.
The two aliens sped up, not planning to give him a chance to recover.
Now that Nathan had failed a big time, he had become more calm, believing that he had made the biggest mistake in this battle.
The beast-like alien came first and pounced on him, using the same trick to knock Nathan down.
However, Nathan boosted his physical abilities with Ena. Right after the beast-like alien swung its tail, he slipped past the alien while lowering his upper body.
Then, Nathan moved toward the humanoid alien while the beast-like alien had to stop its momentum and turn around.
The humanoid alien spread both arms as though it wanted to hug him. Nathan stopped, which allowed the beast-like alien to catch up. With both of them coming toward him from the opposite directions, Nathan hurriedly tossed himself to the side, letting the beast-like alien pounce on the humanoid alien.
Now that both of them crashed into each other, Nathan hurriedly got up and used the Deadly Claw.
Surprisingly, the beast-like alien managed to swing its tail right at the Deadly Claw as if it had eyes on its back.
‘It’s not working?’ Nathan frowned.
The two aliens immediately got back on their feet once Nathan’s attack failed.
This time, they attacked Nathan at the same time.
‘I can only block one of them, but it also means that the other will hit me.’ Nathan bit his lips, finally understanding the horror of quantity. ‘Keep calm and find an opening, huh?’ fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Nathan had been trying to find the quickest solution to a problem. In this type of battle, he noticed that doing it would be problematic.
He inhaled deeply, cooling down his head. Now that he thought about it, Alisha’s training was similar to this. Despite fighting her alone, he would always get struck from an unexpected direction.
“Keep your eyes open. By seeing the attack, you will be able to react.” Nathan muttered, repeating what Alisha said back during their spar.
The humanoid alien attacked from the right side while the beast-like alien came from the left side.
He kept his eyes peeled, noticing that at the last moment pouncing movement increased the alien’s speed. As a result, Nathan chose to avoid it first by taking a step to the right.
However, there was a coming punch from the other alien. His head processed the situation almost instantly. Since the left side was blocked by the alien, he had to avoid this punch without going to the left.
Nathan chose to lower his knees, barely avoiding the punch. After that, he moved diagonally and punched the humanoid alien in the face, specifically aiming it toward the other alien.
As a result, the humanoid’s alien tripped and crashed onto the beast-like alien. However, the punch was too weak because his right hand was still hurt from earlier.
‘I didn’t use enough power!’ Nathan panicked for a second. Out of desperation, he kicked the humanoid’s alien, which gave enough force to make them both fall.
This was an opportunity to kill them. With a swift wave of his hand, his Deadly Claw reached the humanoid alien, cutting its upper body.
The beast-like alien managed to place its tail between them, which ended up blocking the Deadly Claw.
Now that the humanoid had been cut into pieces, the weight that pinned it to the ground had gone. The alien immediately pounced on Nathan.
“NO!” Nathan shouted and grabbed the alien’s neck as the latter was trying to bite him like an insane dog. The thick drool was about to fall off its lips. At the same time, Nathan noticed that the tail was moving to the side as if it wanted to get another hit on Nathan.
Now that he had gotten used to maintaining a wide vision, Nathan kicked the alien first.
The alien rolled several times before getting back on its feet. However, Nathan didn’t kick it too far. As a result, without him leaving the ground, Nathan could use the Deadly Claw and reach the alien.
“!!!” The alien reacted too late as the three claws had pierced its head from below.
As soon as Nathan pulled the claws, it sliced the head, thus killing the alien.
“Ha… Ha…” Nathan panted a few times as he continued lying down. “I finally killed both of them. To think that killing two aliens would be this hard.”
When he was about to relax, he remembered Fenrir was also facing the two aliens.
“That’s right. Fenrir!” Nathan hurriedly got up, only to see Fenrir already waiting right in front of him.
“It seems that you’re finally done.” Fenrir smirked.
“Ha…” Nathan laid back down while complaining, “If you were done with your opponents, you should have helped me.”
“I was planning to help you, but when I saw you gaining your momentum on the battle, I decided to watch until the end. It seems that you finally understand what it means to fight multiple opponents of the same level.”
“Yeah. I only have two arms and two legs. There’s no way I can stop all attacks, especially when they attack at the same time. As expected, for the summoning ritual two weeks from now, I’ll need to summon a familiar that can help us in battle.” Nathan sighed.
“As long as I understand it, you need to strengthen me first.”
“Sell me your dignity.” Nathan smirked.
Fenrir tapped Nathan’s forehead with his paw while saying, “I’m thinking about what I’m planning to exchange. Anyway, get some rest and review the battle. We might face more than four enemies at the same time.”
“I know.” Nathan looked at the blue sky while muttering, “I wonder what kind of familiar should I summon next? It needs high battle prowess. If I want to win against Selena, I should get into the top five on this trip. It means I can get a special item for the sacrifice. It seems I have to seriously consider what kind of item I want.”
