Novel Full Chapter 103: Struggling (Bonus)
“Kh!” Nathan gritted his teeth as his arm was hit by the mace. It was fortunately blocked by the coat or it wouldn’t stop just with a bruise.
At the same time, he grabbed the mace for a second and punched the summoner.
The summoner wasn’t pushed back. He took that punch with only a slight tilt of his body and punched Nathan’s face with an even stronger strength.
Nathan fell on his back as the summoner wanted to hit his stomach with his mace to end this battle.
Nathan waved his left hand, activating his Deadly Claw. Unfortunately, his opponent was much stronger than a proto-class alien.
He smashed the Deadly Claw so easily, albeit the attack itself was just a distraction. Now that he had swung his mace, Nathan could kick the guy’s stomach and push him away.
The summoner took several steps back as Nathan shot him. The latter tilted its body, but the bullet was still fast enough to reach his shoulder.
Nathan stood up while the summoner regained his composure. Then the summoner took the initiative again by charging forward.
Nathan formed a shield with Ena while his right hand prepared a bullet.
Suddenly, the summoner swung his mace from a distance. The Ena on the mace flew forward and hit the barrier, destroying it. The residual Ena from that attack hit Nathan’s body slightly, not enough to knock him down, but enough to disrupt the bullet he was making.
‘What is that? He’s swinging that mace as if he is hitting a baseball.’ Nathan frowned. Because the bullet had failed to form, the summoner closed the distance between them.
Before the enemy reached him, Nathan leaped back to gain a bit more time as he put his hand behind him, forming several bullets.
The summoner realized that Nathan was planning to do something, so he hit the air once again.
Nathan hurriedly spun his body, using the coat to block that attack while revealing five bullets he had formed in his hand.
The bullets looped around his body and hit the summoner. The latter was so focused on that attack that he wasn’t prepared for this attack.
He managed to tilt his body slightly, but three bullets still hit his arms and his right thigh.
Nathan couldn’t help but smile.
‘This is the combination between guns and the concept that Selena showed.’ Nathan took the inspiration of the curving burst of Ena from Selena. Compared to the explosive bullet, curving the trajectory was much easier for him.
A bullet could curve if there was enough distance and wind, but this normally wouldn’t happen in a gunfight, so this was a concept that he devised to match the world he currently lived in. In other words, his own fighting style.
Nathan then formed that explosive bullet, but because he couldn’t form it completely yet, the explosive bullet burst out between him and the enemy, blowing both of them away.
This was enough to gain some distance from the enemy, Nathan thought.
However, this was a battle where they were outnumbered. All of a sudden, a black hole appeared underneath his foot.
He could still move unlike last time, but from this black hole, multiple tentacles made of black-colored Ena emerged.
“Ah shit!” Nathan gritted his teeth as the tentacles grabbed his ankles and wrists, stopping him.
The enemy came straight after and hit Nathan in the chest.
Nathan used the Deadly Claw to cut the tentacles, but it was too late. He only cut one tentacle before the mace arrived. He had no choice but to block it with his body, fortunately having enough time to tilt that body so that the coat would receive that impact.
Nathan was launched away, his body bouncing several times on the ground and crashing into two trees before he stopped.
On the other hand, Anubis managed to bite off the fallen angel’s right arm because the fallen angel chose to help his summoner instead of protecting himself. However, looking at the situation, it was a rather good exchange.
“Summoner!” Anubis hurriedly rushed to Nathan, but several purple energy beams rained him down, forcing him to weave his bandages to create a blanket that blocked all those beams. And that was enough to slow down Anubis for a few seconds.
The summoner would come and knock Nathan out with his mace.
At the same time, Fenrir was struggling against the minotaur and gargoyle.
The minotaur’s strength was slightly superior to him in his current state. The gargoyle was a bit trickier due to that claw and the ability to turn into stone.
The minotaur waved his hammer from the side, forcing Fenrir to jump into the air.
The hammer ended up hitting a tree and breaking the trunk so easily.
After that, the gargoyle came from above and slashed Fenrir with his claws.
Fenrir blocked it with his paws, but the force as well as the gravity knocked him back to the ground.
The minotaur smashed Fenrir from above with his hammer. Fenrir couldn’t get away in time, so he stopped the hammer with his paw, even if it meant his feet sinking into the ground.
He noticed that the enemy summoner was approaching Nathan, so he let out a bark, sending out a burst of Ena to trip him. There was a limited amount of power he could send from this distance, so he could only give Nathan a few more seconds.
At the same time, the gargoyle released crescent-shaped claw strikes from above. The attack earlier made Fenrir vulnerable, so the claw strike hit the top of his body.
“Gah!” Fenrir gnashed his teeth as blood leaked out of the wound. However, Fenrir sent his tail attack right after.
The gargoyle turned into stone, but the tail strike hit him far away until the gargoyle fell to the ground. There was a long wound running on his chest as his stone skin was unable to completely stop Fenrir’s attack.
At the same time, the enemy summoner had stood up. To his surprise, the moment he raised his head, Nathan was right in front of him.
Despite the blood coming out of his mouth as if he sustained an internal injury, Nathan was able to get back up and punched him in the face. “Getting your pinky toe hit is much more painful. Dumbass!”
