Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 933: Chapter 588: The White-Robed Priest and Black-Armored Knight_2

“Ah!”

A sharp, miserable scream rang out as young Ranger Gade’s slender right arm began to gush blood, and he collapsed to the ground.

Undoubtedly, even though the huge horn did not pierce through his shield, it had managed to tear a large gash through his skin.

The Rock-horned Wolf King effortlessly broke through the earthen wall created by the old magician, and quickly turned around not far away.

Seeing this scene, Bonnie, whose white Priest’s robe was already stained with Gade’s blood, stood there dumbfounded.

In front of her, there were two companions who had fallen severely injured, and not far away, there was a gigantic Rock-horned Wolf preparing for its second assault.

At this moment, the young female Priest’s chest was heaving rapidly, her breaths becoming more rapid, and her thin hand gripping her Magic Wand trembling unstoppably.

She was uncertain whether she should heal her companions first, or deal with the threat she was utterly incapable of handling, or… simply stand there and wait for death.

“It’s a Tier Third Rock-horned Wolf King?! How could a Tier 3 Demon Beast appear here?!”

On the other side, the astonished and trembling voice of the middle-aged mercenary captain reached the young Priest’s ears: “Bonnie, this is not an opponent we can handle. Master Alva and I will hold it off, you run! Run now!”

“The captain is right. Niece, you go first, we’ll follow soon!”

The old and anxious voice rang out as the old Magician chimed in.

Following that, a sorrowful, yet detached smile appeared on his wrinkled face, as he muttered to himself: “Heh, I’ve been a mercenary all my life, being able to cover the escape of the younger generation at the last moment is a perfect ending.”

“Run? You’ll be right behind me?”

Hearing these vibrant words, the young female Priest’s delicate body shook, and images of her childhood flashed through her mind.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Bonnie, run! Hurry up! Your father and I will hold it off!”

Facing the terrifying Demon Beast that was fiercely attacking the gate, Bonnie’s mother and father stood in front of the tottering wooden door, hysterically yelling, “There’s a cellar next to the back door. Hide in there, it’s safe!”

“But… Mother, Father, what about you?”

Not far behind them, a five- or six-year-old Bonnie raised her tear-streaked face, helplessly saying, “Bonnie wants to go with you!”

“Bonnie, don’t be stubborn. Tomorrow is your sixth birthday, you’re all grown up now, and you have to listen to your father and mother.”

On the other side, Bonnie’s father used his not-so-strong arms to desperately block the hole in the door that had been pierced by the monster, smiling through the pain, “Does Bonnie want to be a disobedient child?”

“No, Bonnie won’t be a bad child, but Bonnie wants her father and mother!”

Although the little girl was very scared, she still clenched her teeth and didn’t leave.

“Bonnie, don’t worry. You run first, and your father and I will be right behind you!”

In a state of panic, Bonnie’s mother tried to act composed and spoke again, “Hurry up, listen to your father and mother, be a good child. We still have to celebrate your birthday tomorrow!”

“Really? Then Bonnie will go wait for you!”

At these words, young Bonnie’s clear and innocent eyes brightened, and she quickly ran off.

However, just as she had stepped out the back door.

The crumbling front door of the wooden house was finally shattered by the force, and several red-eyed dark shadows pounced on the smiling and relieved couple…

Thinking of this, Bonnie’s eyes reddened as she resolved, “No, I will stay and fight alongside you!”

As she finished speaking, Bonnie tightly grasped her Magic Wand and stood together with the mercenary captain and the old Magician.

At this moment, she knew clearly.

Facing the Tier Third Rock-Horned Wolf King, they clearly had no chance of winning… but even so, she didn’t want the events of her childhood to happen again.

Howl!

At this moment, the furious Rock-horned Wolf King had already dug two deep pits on the ground with its hind legs and launched itself like a cannonball, initiating a second round of attack!

Just when Bonnie, chanting the “Holy Light Bullet” incantation, had only uttered the first word with her magic wand pointing towards the Rock-horned Wolf King.

The earth trembled, and the charging blood-thirsty opponent had already rushed close to her.

At this moment, she could even clearly feel the scorching, rancid breath from the gaping mouth of the Rock-horned Wolf King, making her nauseous.

“Is this it?”

Realizing this, Bonnie’s fair face showed an unusually calm expression as she slowly closed her eyes.

“Energy Concentration Snipe!”

Right at this critical moment, a male voice roared.

An enchanted magic arrow with armor-piercing effects cut through the air like a speeding large caliber bullet, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and was shot into the skull of the Rock-horned Wolf King first.

The sharp arrow pierced the rough wolf skin without any resistance and was embedded directly into the Wolf King’s skull.

Although it did not completely penetrate, the massive impact still threw the Rock-horned Wolf King, who was running at full speed, more than ten meters away, sliding heavily onto the ground.

Owooo!

An angry, murderous howl rang out as the Rock-horned Wolf King got up again, its narrow, elongated eyes rounded and shining with a crimson light, staring straight in the direction from which the arrow came.

“Piercing Barrage!”

However, before the Rock-horned Wolf King could attack, the male’s roar sounded again.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

This time, accompanied by the continuous sound of vibrating bowstrings.

One after another, the arrows carried the chilling gale force and were shot continuously into the giant body of the Rock-horned Wolf King.

In just a short moment, the giant body of the Rock-horned Wolf King was filled with densely packed arrows, finally collapsing to the ground, powerless.

By the time Bonnie, the middle-aged mercenary captain, and the old magician reacted, the Rock-horned Wolf King, which had been filled with killing intent just a moment ago, had already lost its breath completely.

For a moment, the faces of the five mercenaries, including Trevor, who was sitting under a big tree with at least a few broken ribs, and Gade, who was clutching his arm, displayed joy after surviving the ordeal following their initial astonishment.

At the same time, a figure holding a metal heavy bow gradually became clear in the direction from which the arrows were shot, approaching the group of mercenaries.

This was a young man wearing black light armor, holding a black metal heavy bow in his hand. His handsome face revealed the composure and elegance typically seen in nobles.

“Lord Layne? It’s Lord Layne, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights!”

Seeing the man’s face, the middle-aged mercenary captain showed respect on his face without hesitation, stepping forward with a salute, “Thank you, Lord Layne, for saving our lives!”

“He’s Lord Layne, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights stationed in Greyrock City?”

Hearing the mercenary captain’s words, Bonnie’s heart began to thump wildly.

For a rookie mercenary just starting her career, being rescued by the handsome knight was undoubtedly a story that only belonged to fairy tales.

“No need to be polite; lending a hand when encountering injustice is the principle of a knight’s actions.” Layne nodded slightly and then smiled, “First, treat the wounds of your companions, and I will go check on the Rock Horned Wolf King.”

Undoubtedly, the sudden appearance of a Tier 3 Magical Beast in a forest with only a few Tier 2 Magical Beasts was not a normal occurrence.

With this thought in mind, Layne furrowed his brows, walked quickly to the corpse of the Rock-horned Wolf King, and squatted down to inspect it.

However, just as he had been looking for a short while.

A mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind Layne, “That was quite a heroic rescue just now, but I wonder if the hero who saved the damsel can save himself this time?”
