CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: LONGBOW

David’s heart tightened. He truly hadn’t expected Cole to suddenly burst forth with such speed.

At Cole’s current speed, it was very likely he couldn’t dodge this sword strike.

In his haste, there was no time to conjure magic to block it.

David’s talent spell was a surface rock layer, but judging by Cole’s strike, his rock layer couldn’t withstand it.

In a flash, Herag’s figure flickered and appeared directly behind Cole.

Herag used Flash to instantly approach Cole.

He reacted quickly; he could have stopped Cole earlier.

But Herag was waiting for the right moment, the moment Cole made his move.

The instant Cole slashed down with his sword was the best time to strike.

Because at that moment, all of Cole’s attention was on David, and it would be difficult for him to retract the force of his swing.

Everything happened in an instant, and Herag had to seize that fleeting opportunity.

Otherwise, David would die for nothing, and he would lose his chance to act.

After Herag appeared, he punched directly at Cole’s back.

Cole, at that moment, also sensed Herag’s sudden appearance.

Shocked, he had no way to pull back; he could only speed up his swing, taking Herag’s hit head-on.

Herag’s punch was faster than Cole’s sword, an unstoppable force smashing into Cole’s back.

Although Cole had a layer of Wind Shield on his body, it was utterly insufficient, shattering on contact.

Crack.

A sound of ribs breaking came from within Cole’s body, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

The sword strike, initially aimed to cleave David in half, veered off course.

Now the sword changed direction, slashing down onto David’s left shoulder.

David’s talent spell was triggered, and a thick layer of rock appeared on his body.

But this rock layer only slowed the sword, soon being pierced and cutting into his flesh underneath.

David grunted, almost having his left shoulder sliced off, connected by just a sliver of skin.

Despite such a severe injury, David didn’t cry out but instead grabbed his left shoulder, seizing the chance to retreat.

Cole, like a cannonball, flew out, knocked away by Herag’s strike.

As Cole flew, his spiritual power remained focused, quickly casting magic.

He used the wind to cushion himself, slowing his speed to land steadily.

However, once landed, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Herag’s punch was overpowering; Cole took it almost entirely with his body.

Although Cole never gave up on his Knight’s training, and his physique was quite strong,

he still couldn’t withstand such a violent force impact.

Cole used his sword to support himself, quickly taking out a green potion and drinking it.

Green dots appeared on his body, and his internal injuries rapidly healed.

This was a secret medicine from the Elf Race, extremely precious, almost capable of revival.

Several of Cole’s broken ribs healed in an instant.

The effect of the secret medicine was excellent.

David also used the White Sage Healing Potion, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

But his left shoulder was noticeably dislocated, significantly reducing his combat ability.

Herag glanced and said, "You go to the back; I’ll handle him. Don’t cause me trouble."

In his current state, David couldn’t help much, and if the fight resumed, Herag wouldn’t have time to look after him.

David nodded, understanding not to cause trouble, quickly retreating to the back for healing.

Cole sheathed his longsword and then took out a Wooden Longbow.

The bow was large, entirely made of wood, with a green bowstring.

It looked plain, with no extravagant decorations.

"Breath of the Wind."

Cole again accelerated his speed, simultaneously drawing the longbow, as a green arrow swiftly formed on it.

Then, this arrow shot towards Herag.

Herag was about to dodge when he suddenly realized the arrow was gone.

The arrow being gone usually meant the speed was too fast.

But with Herag’s current physical quality, it was almost impossible for him not to see the arrow.

Moreover, with Shenlan present, he could clearly sense the arrow’s trajectory.

From the trajectory, the arrow had suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion in front of Herag, pushing him back a few steps with a violent shockwave.

"Suddenly appeared in front?"

Herag suddenly understood, the arrow indeed disappeared.

The green arrow shot from that longbow disappeared, only to appear directly in front.

That’s why he couldn’t see it, and neither could Shenlan track the arrow’s flight path.

"Shenlan, calculate the arrow’s attack intensity."

Herag felt the arrow’s attack intensity was high; if not for Absolute Defense and Dark Armor, he might have been seriously injured.

"Calculating, the estimated arrow intensity is 19 degrees."

Shenlan quickly provided the calculation result.

"What kind of bow is this, a casual arrow with such power." Herag was a bit curious.

The bow looked ordinary, without any special aura.

But a casual arrow had an attack intensity of 19 degrees, already surpassing many magic spells.

Seeing that the arrow hadn’t harmed Herag, Cole turned to flee.

Herag immediately chased after him, and Cole shot another arrow upon turning.

This arrow couldn’t be dodged; it appeared directly in front of Herag, guaranteed to hit.

Herag was pushed back again a few steps, and Cole used this opportunity to widen the gap.

"Let’s see how many times you can shoot."

Power and cost are always balanced; such power arrows cannot be fired without cost.

Cole couldn’t use this bow indefinitely; there had to be a corresponding price.

Sure enough, after two arrows, blood trickled from Cole’s mouth.

He held the longbow in hand, no longer using it.

At that point, Cole and Herag had created some distance between them.

Seeing Cole about to run away further, Herag quietly activated a trace of power from his Bloodline Mark.

Since arriving on the Elf Plane, Herag sensed he could use the Royal Elf Bloodline power within the Bloodline Mark.

But while at Base 27, he hadn’t encountered any special situations and hadn’t tried.

After activating some power from the Bloodline Mark, Herag felt a significant boost in his spiritual power, strength, agility, and constitution.

This slight change in agility resulted in Herag’s speed increasing significantly.

In no time, Herag caught up with the fleeing Cole.

"Dark Magic Ball."

Herag conjured a black Dark Magic Ball in his hand, sending it flying towards Cole’s head.

Cole twisted to evade the strike.

But after the Dark Magic Ball exploded, the shockwave hindered Cole’s actions.
