Rain and the bear-person rushed toward Nathan. The latter waved his hand while jumping back.
21 bullets flew toward the bear-person from three different directions. Rain had to face 35 bullets at once.
The bear-person stomped the ground and cracked it. After that, he grabbed the ground and picked a giant rock up, smashing the bullets by swinging the giant rock around.
Rain, on the other hand, covered his left side with a shield while unleashing three strikes to deal with 21 bullets. Due to his fighting style that relied on the thin sword, he couldn’t strike the last group of bullets.
They came straight at him and almost reached him, but the bear-person tossed the rock toward the bullets and neutralized them.
Nathan hurriedly re-summoned his bullets before they were coming. However, Rain waved his sword down, releasing a crescent-shaped sword strike that ran through the ground.
Nathan leaped to the side, avoiding it. However, the bear-person covered the distance between them in a single leap.
“Tsk!” Nathan raised his arms to the side. The Ena that covered his body was shifted toward his left arm, where the bear-person slapped him.
The bear-person launched him away as his body crashed into multiple trees.
“!!!” The three familiars glanced at Nathan, looking concerned. Even Anubis activated his healing ability on him.
Fortunately, Nathan was fine. The Fortify that the Sage taught him was truly useful even though he couldn’t master it yet. Since he was sparring with Selena most of the time, it allowed him to get used to activating it in a split second.
The bear-person and Rain knew Nathan wasn’t someone who could be taken down with a single strike. Both of them were already closing in, not wanting to give Nathan a chance to shoot those bullets.
Sadly for them, Nathan was faster. The bullets had flown toward Rain. From the last engagement, Nathan knew Rain had a much harder time to deal with his bullets. That was why he targeted him.
The bear-person looked worried, wanting to help him. Rain, on the other hand, leaped to the side while shouting, “Don’t mind me! Kill him!”
Rain cut several bullets while continuously running away. He even used a shield to protect him.
“Kh…” Rain looked frustrated because Nathan was able to control all these bullets. ‘What kind of monster do I fight right now?’
The bear-person punched Nathan, but surprisingly, Nathan wasn’t escaping. Instead, he met him head-on with the Dragon Fist.
Bam!
The collision of their fists caused a ripple of Ena that shook the forest. The ground underneath them cracked as the air felt heavy. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The dragon’s roar caused the eruption of their Ena, which ultimately neutralized each other.
Even though they managed to reach a standstill, the bear had a better foundation in terms of close combat.
The bear immediately swiped his other paw after Nathan stopped his other paw.
At the same time, Rain suddenly closed in from the side.
“!!!” Nathan was startled. ‘Where did he come?’
At first glance, he noticed a few wounds. He realized that Rain was actually letting a few bullets hit him so that he could be faster even a second than Nathan’s calculation.
He struck him on the side, trying to split him in two.
Nathan tilted his body to the side, allowing the coat to take it on. Of course, Nathan had also used his Ena to strengthen the robe.
“Kh.” Nathan gritted his teeth. Even though he managed to block it, it was still quite painful. Fortunately, the robe was durable enough that not a single cut managed to reach his skin.
Nonetheless, the bear still had his own attack coming toward his head.
“Ah, shit!”
The paw slapped his head and caused him to bounce several times on the ground before stopping.
Rain and the bear-person had to be there to make sure he died. But this was a trap.
Nathan formed ten bullets this time and sent them forward.
The first thought that came to their mind was that Nathan was completely disrupted, and that he was unable to form all his bullets.
However, when they were about to hit the bullets, Rain suddenly noticed the difference in the fluctuation.
“This Ena…” Rain gasped. “Don’t touch it!”
Unfortunately, he was too late. Neither he nor the bear-person could stop their attack from destroying these bullets.
The moment they touched them, the bullets became even more unstable and produced explosions.
Boom!
Rain was flung into the air and fell from 10 meters (33 feet). The bear-person bounced several times on the ground and stopped after hitting a tree, his body getting crushed by the trunk.
“Grooa!” The bear-person let out a wail.
“Haaa!” Nathan rose to his feet. It was only due to Anubis’ healing ability that he could keep up with the two of them.
Still, he believed he could defeat Rain if there was no bear-person.
Nathan just formed all the bullets he could as quickly as possible and shot them toward the bear-person.
The bear-person panicked and covered his vitals with his arms.
Still, those bullets pierced his skin. Even though he was tough, the bear-person would bleed a lot because of these wounds.
Nathan took a deep breath. He formed his bullets but didn’t shoot them immediately anymore since the two had also risen to their feet.
They were staring at Nathan. They never thought they would be toyed with this much. The damage to his body should be quite serious, but Nathan looked fine, other than the blood that leaked out of his mouth.
They really needed a new approach if they wanted to kill Nathan.
“Aaaahhh!” Rain screamed while rushing forward.
The bear-person didn’t know what he was planning but followed suit.
Suddenly, Rain stopped and cut the ground.
“!!!” The bear-person immediately rushed to that ground and lifted up the rock. He ripped it apart and tossed this rock plate toward Nathan.
This was similar to how they hid themselves with the rock, but the area was much wider.
Instead of charging in, Nathan jumped back to gain a distance where he could react to anything they would throw at him.
But all of a sudden, the bear let out a roar and smashed the plate with so much force that the shattered rocks flew toward Nathan at high speed, similar to his bullets.
Nathan had to remove his bullets and pour all his Ena into a shield, protecting himself from the rocks.
It turned out Rain was amidst all those rocks. He used them to hide himself and approach Nathan.
“Devil Slash.”
Nathan could feel the extraordinary Ena in that sword, which made him imagine the slash cutting through the shield along his body.
“Damn…”
*Zap!*
