Novel Bin Chapter 86 - He Takes It On All By Himself (2)
Followed the short notification closely were the horrifying sounds coming out from the two passageways...
*Growl* *Growl*
"GRAA!!!"
"Aawoooo!!"
"Gieee..."
"Jiiiieekk!!"
The wolves\' low growling, goblins\' high-pitched screeching, and imps\' annoying sounds resounded out from inside the two passageways incessantly...
Even those people standing at the corner behind the barricades and traps had heard the monsters\' terrifying voices.
As a result, everyone tensed up even more, for they to know that the bloody battle was coming at them soon.
The bloody battle that they had fought more than seven times already...
The bloody battle that kept getting harder and harder with each passing wave...
Nevertheless, the only thing they could do was to harden their hearts and minds, preparing and readying themselves to the utmost.
Meanwhile...
\'The same old voice that I had been hunting and killing for the past 48 hours...\' Jeremy thought fleetingly while standing alone in front of the left passageway\'s entrance.
Indeed, he had killed more than 100 goblins, 250 wolves, and dozens of imps ever since he came into this place.
What else to be afraid of those outlanders?
The only thing Jeremy had to be careful and beware of was their numbers, as it looked like all the outlanders combined from this left passageway alone accounted to almost one hundred in total.
That was considered quite a high amount, but this was the eighth wave, after all...
However, Jeremy was at his optimum shape and performance right now; he wasn\'t worried about the incoming \'tough\' fight that much.
As of right now...
Like the third wave that Jeremy had fought, the ten wolves came out first, followed closely by the flying imps.
However, eight goblins were walking slowly this time, leading dozens of skeleton soldiers out from the dark passageway.
That was not all...
\'Hmm... What is that tall creature?\'
Having thought so after seeing a vague silhouette of a somewhat tall being behind the bunch of outlanders, Jeremy activated his active skill [Eagles Eyes]...
*Zoom*
Like a warp, the sight in front of him was zoomed into the far distance of the dark passageway.
The view went grazing past those goblins and skeleton soldiers swiftly till the end of their formation.
Together with his newly acquired passive skill [Heightened Senses], Jeremy was able to somewhat gauge the rough appearance of the tall silhouette.
\'Well, a hobgoblin? Initially, I thought it was some kind of boss monster; what a disappointment.\'
After seeing that it was just a hobgoblin that was around two times physically stronger than an ordinary human, Jeremy deactivated the skill nonchalantly.
Soon after...
"GROWLL!!!"
"WoolFFF!!"
"Graa..."
There came the wolf\'s growling sounds as they were sprinting at full speed towards the source of light within the long, dark passageway.
That was obviously the place where Jeremy stood, as he stationed directly at the mouth of the passageway.
"Welcome to your comrades\' cemetery."
Jeremy said with an evil grin while looking coolly at the ten incoming wolves...
As the passageway was only five or six meters in width, there was only enough space for five wolves to run side by side.
As a result, the wolves had to rush out in two rows; it also made the situation become easier for Jeremy too, as he had to fight with only five wolves at first.
When the five leading wolves and Jeremy were only around five meters away from each other, the casual Jeremy suddenly retracted his right hand, holding the spear shaft back behind his body while bending his two knees down slightly.
He was preparing to do a thrust at the wolf in the middle...
"Wooolf!!"
"Growl!!"
Finally, when the distance between the two sides had reached only three meters...
Three wolves in the middle suddenly jumped up from the ground, intending to pounce onto Jeremy\'s body directly...
But...
*Whoosh*
Jeremy released the thrust at lightning speed, creating a whooshing sound in the still air towards the jumping wolf in the middle. At the same time, he also put all his body weight onto the two\'s bending knees before jumping back away from the passageway explosively...
It was quite a high-level technique called back-jumping thrust...
*Puchi*
The sound of flesh being pierced through echoed out...
Meanwhile, the wolf didn\'t even have time to realize it was stabbed by an enemy, as the spear blade had penetrated through the eyesocket, going deeply into its brain...
The first wolf died...
*Thud*
As its body dropped onto the ground with a thudding sound, Jeremy landed two meters behind his original position. At the same time, the other two pouncing wolves had also missed Jeremy\'s body completely...
"Graa!!"
Meanwhile, the other two wolves that didn\'t jump earlier were already coming towards Jeremy\'s flanks at a quick speed.
Jeremy, who had seen the sight of two wolves coming simultaneously, decided to take the initiative by approaching the wolf on his left side swiftly.
Due to the distance between the two were quite close, Jeremy changed his grip on the spear into a reverse grip, intending to strike the wolf with a spear flip.
*Whoosh*
The spear\'s end was launched forward, aiming towards the rushing wolf swiftly. The incoming wolf didn\'t even have time to jump from Jeremy\'s unexpected approach, so...
*Bam*
*Crack*
Its long skull was hit heavily by the spear\'s shoe, whereas its fragile bones seemed to be broken by the sheer force put behind the spear flip. As a result, the pitiful wolf spun two rounds in mid-air before falling to the ground heavily...
Meanwhile, another wolf on Jeremy\'s right side suddenly pounced at him, aiming its sharp teeth at his right leg this time.
"Well, want to eat my leg, huh..."
Having mumbled lightly, Jeremy flicked his right foot directly at the incoming wolf\'s agape mouth...
"How about eating my boot instead?"
*Bam*
Accompanying the bamming sound, the pouncing wolf bounced back even faster than when it came.
Just like that, within a few seconds, two wolves died, and another one was rendered immobilized. Thus, there were only two wolves around him, and another five still came running towards him quickly.
\'Round two...\'
