Chapter 77 Killing the Rune Bear
Kurala floated in mid-air, extending her tentacles to adjust her posture and precisely calculate her landing point.
"Pfft!"
Then, Patch felt himself fall into something soft, cool, and elastic.
It was a giant soul jellyfish, standing atop the jellyfish's umbrella-shaped body.
Kurala was forced to sink down by the impact, her tentacles almost touching the ground.
Fortunately, its unique body structure perfectly absorbed most of the force, catching Patch steadily and putting him down safely.
Because of Patch's fall, the top of the tree, which had been swaying back and forth, suddenly bounced upwards.
The Rune Bear, high in the air, was also shaken and let out an angry howl.
After all, the duck that was already in their grasp just flew away!
"Now!"
It was clear that the Rune Bear was in a state of instability.
Xia Tong immediately abandoned his horse and leaped into the air.
Combat Technique - Lion Slash!
He spun around in the air, and the Lion Greatsword in his hand, carrying immense force, slammed heavily into the already taut tree roots!
"Crack—Boom!!"
The tree was immediately cut down.
The Rune Bear, high in the air, crashed down hard, tree and all!
The earth trembled, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Monsters like Rune Bears, with their thick hides and tough flesh, are most afraid of blunt force trauma and falls, not sharp blades!
The force of the fall, which sent both the person and the tree crashing down, was no less than being struck several times with a giant crushing hammer!
"Stay here and don't move."
Xia Tong gave an instruction to Patch, who was still in shock.
Then he led his ash-covered battle group and charged toward the dust-filled land!
Beat up the drowning dog!
"roar!"
Rune Bear burst out from the ruins of broken branches and vines.
But this time, it was clearly limping!
Clearly, the bombardment and fall had caused it some damage, and it was serious internal injury!
"Mao Duo is weak to fire."
This is another major weakness of the Rune Bear!
Yellow and black flames suddenly erupted from the knight's lance in Ruthel's hand.
Black mist swirled around the flames, clearly indicating that Ruthel understood this was an extremely formidable opponent, and thus directly unleashed the power of a death curse.
"Whoosh!"
Ruthel's spear was thrown, and its piercing power was far greater than Xia Tong's Glowing Stone Meteor.
The spear pierced straight through the Rune Bear's body, the power of the death curse penetrating deep into its marrow!
"Aww!"
The rune bear, in pain, charged angrily at Rutil.
Watching the irritable Rune Bear being lured away, Xia Tong's lips curled up slightly.
He raised his staff.
Three brilliant meteors shot toward the back of the Rune Bear, and all of them hit their mark!
Rune Bear winced in pain and glanced back at Xia Tong.
However, it continued its charge towards Rutil.
After all, the guy who stabbed it with a shield was right in front of it!
"Buzz!"
Just as the Rune Bear's enormous paw was about to pounce on Ruthel, the latter's figure completely vanished into thin air!
Teleport!
"Ho! Tap!"
Rune Bear's palm struck empty air.
At this point, even the not-so-intelligent Rune Bear realized he had been tricked.
It roared angrily, turned around, and charged towards Xia Tong in the distance!
Meanwhile, Ruthel slowly reappeared on the treetops.
She was hooked upside down on a tree, holding an eclipse shield in one hand and a knight's lance with flashing flames in the other.
Then, the spear was hurled again toward the Rune Bear's back.
"Pfft!"
Another spear pierced flesh!
At the same time, the smell of burning fur wafted out.
Xia Tong casually placed a few Radiant Meteorites to distract the Rune Bear's vision.
Then, he picked up the Lion Greatsword again and leaped into the air.
It slashed down at the Rune Bear in a 360-degree spin!
Lion Slash!
Rune Bear also leaped high into the air, swinging out his huge bear paws, wanting to meet the attack head-on!
With a "whoosh" sound!
Blood splattered.
The Lion Greatsword was incredibly sharp, and the Rune Bear's right paw was completely sliced off!
Just then, a stream of purplish-red venom was sprayed out by the soul jellyfish Kurala.
Instantly, the Rune Bear screamed in agony as it was corroded by the venom, and smoke billowed from its body!
The two fanged little devils had been waiting for a long time.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they both jumped onto the back of the Rune Bear, their forked hand axes moving in and out, constantly drawing blood!
Xia Tong then summoned Torret and mounted his horse to create some distance.
Several more powerful Glowstone Great Magic Pebbles were added!
Meanwhile, Ruthel continued to hurl her Flame Spear, imbued with a death curse!
Rune Bear struggled desperately, roaring as it charged at Xia Tong like a tank, but the latter easily dodged it with the help of Torret.
Not long after that.
Rune Bear's body suddenly stiffened.
Then, dozens of gnarled, black tree roots burst forth from its body, piercing its fur.
Sudden death!
"call--"
The massive body crashed to the ground.
A stream of runes flowed into Xia Tong's body—2600 points.
Patch, who was hiding to the side, opened his mouth wide, almost unable to breathe.
He couldn't believe that Xia Tong had so easily killed such a powerful Rune Bear.
He himself wasn't even injured, and remained completely unscathed!
"Oh My God……"
Patch muttered to himself.
"My good brother Xia Tong... is absolutely a top-tier fader!"
"He...he might actually become the King of Elden!"
A glint of light flashed in Patch's eyes, as if he were plotting something.
"If I had his strength... perhaps Tanis would really look at me differently..."
........
"What are you spacing out for?"
Xia Tong patted Patch on the shoulder, seeing his dejected look.
"Brother Xia Tong...you're really strong!"
Patch snapped out of his shock, stood up, and looked at the powerful with awe.
His clean and efficient bear-hunting technique had completely won him over.
"Would you like to join the Volcano Manor as a Herrscher? I can introduce you!"
Patch immediately reverted to his businessman's shrewdness and began to court them:
"Lady Tanis greatly admires a strong person like you!"
"Oh? What's in it for me?"
Xia Tong raised an eyebrow.
"We have an excellent combat skills instructor at our Volcano Residence named Bernard."
"He possesses the most outstanding combat skills in the entire border region, which can transform you, brother, into an even stronger Faded One!"
"I'll think about it."
Xia Tong brushed it off.
He currently has no interest in joining the Volcano Official Residence.
Furthermore, what would Melina think if Melina joined the Volcano Mansion and became a Herrscher who hunts her fellow hunters?
Melina might not directly stop it, but she definitely won't support it.
"Are you coming with me, or going back on your own?"
Xia Tong looked at Patch.
"Brother, I'll still follow you, I'll follow you out of the misty forest."
Patch shrank back and looked around.
There was still a light mist in the fog forest, and visibility was low.
Who knows where another one of those freakish rune bears might pop out.
Although Patch is a Faded One, he hasn't seen the light of the Blessing for a long time and has lost the ability to sense the Blessing Point.
This is also a major reason why he wanted to join the Volcano Mansion and rebel against the Golden Law.
Therefore, he cannot use teleportation like Xia Tong.
