City of Desire Novel Chapter 181: Battle On The Hill II

Hun!

I didn’t even get a mont to relax as I killed the Orc bandit when two attacks ca at

from the opposite side.

I imdiately ducked down and moved right with everything I have, dodging the attack by inches, before getting up and attacking the human bandit to my right.

Clang!

He defended, giving

a buzzing shock to my arm, but I bore the pain and moved left to defend against the attack coming from the half-orc. Which I did, but soon, the human bandit attacked again.

I dodged by moving right, but quickly moved left to dodge the attack from the half-orc.

These bandits are not weak, and they are careful seeing how I killed the first bandit.

I kept dodging the attacks, as I had trained for since the last bandit incident, and it seed to work very well. I am dodging every attack.

Though the range I am dodging them is quite uncomfortable.

Still, I am dodging the attacks without getting injured is already a miracle, seeing both of them are stronger and more experienced than .

Seconds passed, and I kept dodging and the more I dodged. The better I would beco, and it is frustrating my enemies, who are using every skill, they have in their arsenal to kill .

Now!

More than a minute passed, and I dodged another attack by ducking down when I saw the opportunity and took it, without hesitation.

I jumped toward the human bandit.

I could jump quite high, with a combination of Gymnasts Grace and Rapid Legs.

The bald human bandit was alard, seeing

doing it. Opening myself to him, completely, it made him grin for a mont before he realized where his sword was and how fast I am moving.

I have trained hard to survive in the battle.

Dodging the attacks is a main part of that, but what helped the most is killing the enemy.

I am using a perilous maneuver, but I have no other choice. These two have been swarming

with attacks.

If they keep doing that, one of them will hit

hard, and I will be finished.

Not to ntion the number of bandits is increasing. If I keep dodging, the number of people I am fighting might increase and I do not capability to handle them, given my level.

My guards are already helping

a lot, dealing with a lot of bandits coming at , but they couldn’t stay too close to , seeing they are being sward.

Bandit leaders have co to deal with them, seeing how they were massacring the bandits.

Puch!

I appeared close to the bandit, and directly put my sword into his eyes.

He had tried to defend his face with his armguards, but the enchantnts of my rapier lit up and pierced my sword into the whole arm, before going through his eyes.

Slice!

I pushed my legs on his chest and used it to fall down and while I was doing that; I was attacked by a half-orc, who gave

a cut on my back.

I tried to dodge, climbing over the falling body of the bandit, but couldn’t defend fully from the attack.

‘Fuck!’ I cursed loudly in my heart as I felt the blinding pain that brought tears to my eyes.

The bandit used a pain skill and its exceptionally powerful, giving

a similar level of pain that instructor David’s skill does.

It is the only reason; I am thinking straight and not screaming in pain.

“Die!” scread the half-orc and launched another attack and this, I couldn’t remain on my spot, or I will be killed.

Thud!

So, I jumped from the falling body, using it as leverage, and landed in the middle of another battle, where I made an instant decision and swung my sword at the orc, who had just dealt with the attack of the soldier.

Slice Pachak!

My sword moved fast and cut through the hand of the orc, and I turned, before swinging my sword to decapitate him.

I killed the orc, while the soldier stopped the attack of a human bandit he was fighting.

The head of the orc hadn’t landed on the ground when the half-orc had reached , with anger raging in his eyes.

Clang!

“Bastard, you will pay for what you did!” roared the half-orc and attacked , but I dogged it and launched an attack of my own, which he defended and attacked again.

I dodged.

Dodging is much better than defending against a powerful enemy like him. It also irritates them the most, which is another plus point.

“Try harder or I will send you where I sent your friends,” I taunted. It glared but remained quiet.

Though he is angry and is using everything, he has to kill .

I dodged every attack while observing his every move and skill. He had a good skill, but the one that impressed

the most is his pain skill, which is still giving

hell-like pain.

It is like soone had poured chili powder on the wound.

I wanted to lie down on the ice under my feet and let the cold of it numb the pain.

Four and a half minutes passed, and we were still fighting. It is still attacking , and I am attacking him while dodging the attack.

‘I think I should take a chance,’ I thought as I attacked again, which he defended and attacked .

Though, I don’t know what benefit I will receive after killing him. Currently, it seed like he is being alive would be better than him being dead.

He is providing

shields; all new bandits that would co in would go to the soldiers, seeing us fighting. If I killed him, other bandits would co, and they might be more powerful than him.

Not to ntion, taking a chance against him, co with risks of its own.

I could die.

I looked around

and decided to take the chance. I have to do my part. I couldn’t act selfish and keep hanging on to the single enemy, while people around , fought to death to kill the bandits.

Imdiately, I changed my fighting style, and it beca more daring.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

I begin to push hard against the half-orc, targeting his weakness that I had learned.

It grinned at first, but soon his expressions beco serious. After, I have co close to injuring him, a couple of tis.

Hun!

A few seconds passed, and I was about to try the risky maneuver to finish him off, when I saw another half-orc coming at

from behind and moved sharply left to dodge the attack.

Rip!

I dodged the attack, but not fully, as it cut through my sleeve, giving

a cut across my arm.

Thankfully, the cut is not too deep.

“It is my prey. You could go find yours,” said the first half-orc, glaring at the second half-orc that appeared.

“I will not,” replied the second half-orc and ca at

with speed skill, which is as fast as mine, while the first half-orc had launched the attack from the other side.

I moved three steps left and right, two steps, dodging both of the attacks by inch difference.

They didn’t waste any ti in coming at

again and the way they did it. It is clear they have fought together many tis before and that is bad news for .

It is already difficult for

to handle one of them and now I am going to fight those who have good synergy.

Slice!

“This one is slippery,” said the second half-orc, as he injured

in the thigh. I was able to dodge it on ti or it would have taken a bone and that would have been a death of .

The second one is faster than , making it quite hard for

to dodge his attacks.

Not that I have any other choice. My guards are busy dealing with a swarm of bandits attacking them.

Still, they would kill most bandits coming in my direction.

Several minutes passed and I kept dodging the attacks. Though it is costing

a lot; injuries have appeared all over my body.

Thankfully, one of the soldiers seed to have a rare hemostatic skill. It is a rare skill, and they have it on army type, which makes it even more rare and the reason, I am not bleeding to death.

There are a lot of injuries on my body, but I am bleeding. The hemostatic skill had stopped the blood from coming out of the injuries.

The way I am fighting is not good. I couldn’t keep receiving the injuries, I need to kill them, or they will kill .

I have an idea.

These two may be good at working together, but they hate each other. So much that they wouldn’t co, less than a ter away from each other.

Many tis, they have let go of many attacking opportunities.

Whatever happened between them must be pretty intense to not be within one ter of each other, especially the first half-orc.

I didn’t believe it at first when I saw it, but I confird it several tis. I am pretty sure, it is a real, not so ruse on their part.

If it is, then I am sure they must have a good level in their acting classes.

I decided to take the risk and started to move according to the plan, which is to do it slow, without letting them suspect anything.

They are bandits, not fools.

A minute passed, and I have them where I want them. It took so effort to bring them close, but I was able to do it.

The second bandit launched an attack, and I dodged it.

Instead of dodging from the left, I moved back toward the first bandit, who I am sure, has a smile appearing on his face, seeing

finally coming to him to die.

The second bandit stopped, while the first bandit’s sword had reached so close to

that I felt all the hair on my body stand.

Anyone watching

would surely see

walking into the mouth of death on my own.

There may be a few inches of distance between his sword and

when I pressed my legs down and moved forward with everything I have.

I harnessed every bit of power my skills could provide and harnessed it through my legs as I ran toward the second half-orc bandit.

Slice!

I felt the sword of the first bandit across my neck, giving

a cut on it. If I reacted a mont late, my head would have been flying in the air right now.

The second bandit was surprised, seeing

coming at him, and reacted imdiately, but still, it was slow.

PUCH!

His attack couldn’t pick a speed before I appeared in front of him and pierced my sword into his heart with Quick Blade and Weighted Strike.

Killing him instantly.

Its fading eyes looked at

with shock, and I am a little shocked, too.

The whole plan depended on him assuming I would die at the hands of the first bandit and thus relaxed his guards, and that cost him his life.

“NO!”

Scread the bandit behind

and when I turned back, I saw it frozen in shock and with imnse grief.

A mont later, it turned into a bubbling rage.

‘Oh,’ I thought.

I had thought they were friends and had a falling out, but it seed like, I had been a little wrong in my assumption.

“I will kill you!” roared the bandit and ca at

with all the anger in the world.

I also moved at him.

Slice!

It took

a mont to appear in front of his blade, due to the short distance between us, before I spun. Feeling his sword on my neck a second ti in less than five seconds.

In my training, I was able to delve deep into Gymnasts Grace. It is an amazing skill, capable of helping users to take their bodies to the limit.

Like real gymnasts do.

I completed spin and attacked the half-orc bandit.

Seeing that, all the anger left his eyes and alarm flashed in his eyes, which turned to horror, but it couldn’t do anything.

As its sword is moving in the opposite direction and dodging is not possible, with how close I am.

Pachack

My sword touched his neck before cutting it cleanly. I could see the hate and unwillingness in his fading eyes as his head crashed toward the ground.
