Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Chapter 20.3 - Dungeon

With those words, Anya glanced at each of everyone in turn. "Get ready. We will start after a second."

Hearing this, all of the party nodded their heads, certainly looking happy. Of course, they were going to be considering they were waiting for this stage to end.

'This is getting better and better.' Fred couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Everything was going as he expected. Just as he was informed, this dungeon terrain was a forest type, and it was constantly raining.

This made him easily able to use his skills without people noticing since he was skillfully mixing psions with the rain droplets.

'This Hartley is a problem, though.' He thought.

That blue-haired bastard was the first one to think something was wrong, and almost all the others were about to believe him.

'Thanks to lord that this kid is stupid.' He changed his gaze to his benefactor, who unknowingly saved his whole operation. 'As expected, the sense I got from him is wrong. There is no way this kid can do something to me.' Even though he got a weird sense from his purple gaze, Fred dismissed it immediately.

However, the party would no longer go to wait.

"Let's go. Everyone, get ready."

With those words, the group started moving, everyone already ready for the battle.

Anya stood at the forefront of the group, her shield held high and her spear at the ready. She was the designated tank for this operation, and she had a particular skill set for this role.

Her shield bore a taunting enchantment designed to amplify the strength of her skill [Taunting Cry] and draw the aggression of the enemy toward her.

"Astron, you may start."

As she said, Astron immediately raised his bow and enchanted it with his mana. Then, the only thing left was firing arrows at goblins he saw as isolated.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH

As the arrows flew rapidly, most of them found their mark.

THUD THUD

As the bodies of the monsters fell to the ground, the Goblin Warrior's attention, of course, turned to the sound. The arrows were silent, but the falling sound got their attention.

"ROAR!"

And with a loud roar they were grieving their fallen kin.

Then, the goblin warriors, standing guard at the entrance of the settlement, noticed the intruders.

GROWL

With a menacing growl, they brandished their weapons and charged toward Anya, who was standing in the front. But she was more than prepared.

"Bring them to me!"

Anya shouted, activating her [Taunting Cry] skill.

SWOOSH ROOOAR!

The effect was immediate, as the goblin warriors redirected their focus solely onto her, leaving her companions free to engage the horde of smaller goblins that swarmed towards them.

CLANK THUD

With a swift and precise movement of her shield, she deflected the first strike, the force vibrating through her arm. The goblin warrior staggered back momentarily, and in that split second, Anya struck. Her spear pierced the creature's chest, eliciting a guttural scream.

ROAR!

"Faye! Hari!" She immediately signaled her party members.

SWOOSH

Hari, the agile dual-blade wielder, dashed forward like a whirlwind of steel.

SWIRL

Fire danced along the edges of her blades, and with a series of precise strikes, she engaged the goblin warriors.

SPURT

Her blades pierced through the skin of the first goblin warrior. The monster couldn't defend itself as it was taunted by Anya on the front.

SWOOSH

Beside her, Faye, her claymore raised high, activated her body-strengthening abilities.

"AAAAH!'"

With a mighty swing, she joined the fray, her weapon cleaving through the air and adding to the relentless assault.

SPURT

Blood spurted from the wound she made as Faye's sword wounded the warrior. However, it was still not enough.

CLANK

The other goblin warrior lunged at Anya from the side, but Hari intercepted it. Her blades met the creature's, and they engaged in a dazzling dance of steel.

The goblin struggled to match Hari's skill, its movements becoming increasingly frantic. But he was still able to defend itself since Hari's attack couldn't penetrate its skin while the goblin warrior was moving, leaving rather shallow wounds.

"Bring them to me!"

However, Anya's taunt skill marked the end. As [Taunting Cry] sounded, the Goblin Warriors' attention momentarily turned to the woman with spear and shield.

And that was what proved to be fatal.

In that split second, Hari and Faye seized the opportunity, their coordinated attacks executed with flawless precision.

SWOOSH

Hari, with her dual blades swirling like a deadly dance, closed in on the goblin warrior she had engaged.

"Blade of Ablaze."

SWIRL

Fire flickered along the edges of her blades, casting an eerie glow in the dim light.

SWOOSH SWOOSH

With lightning-fast strikes, she capitalized on the distraction caused by Anya's taunt.

SPURT

Hari's blades, guided by both her extraordinary skill and the fiery enchantments, found their mark. They pierced through the goblin's tough skin, plunging deep into its chest.

"ROOOAR!"

The creature's guttural scream was cut short as its lifeblood gushed forth, staining the forest floor crimson.

SWOOSH

At the same time, Faye, her claymore raised high above her head, brought her immense strength into play.

"RAAA!"

Her body, fortified by her enhancing abilities, was a force to be reckoned with. With a mighty swing, her claymore descended like a merciless executioner's axe.

CRACK

The force behind her strike was staggering, leaving no room for the goblin warrior to defend himself. The heavy blade cleaved through the air, meeting its target with brutal efficiency.

SPURT
