SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Battle With The Plunderer.

The desert air seemed to vibrate with tension as both sides faced one another.

Adam, Zoey, and the armored hunter stood together with their weapons drawn, while the seven plunderers slowly spread out around them. Smiles could be seen on several of their faces, the kind that appeared when people believed victory was already theirs.

Unfortunately, they had good reason to be confident.

The odds were terrible.

Not only were Adam’s group outnumbered seven to three, but they were also hopelessly behind in experience. Adam and Zoey had only awakened a few days ago. Though their growth had been fast, they were still rookie hunters who had barely experienced real combat.

The plunderers, on the other hand, were veterans.

They had higher levels, more combat experience, and had likely fought countless battles before today. The armored hunter was undoubtedly strong, but even he could only do so much against seven opponents.

No matter how anyone looked at it, their chances of winning were slim.

Even so, none of them backed down.

Adam tightened his grip on his hammer.

Zoey drew an arrow from her quiver.

The armored hunter adjusted his shield and planted his feet firmly into the sand.

If they were going to die here, they would at least make their enemies work for it.

The plunderer leader looked at their determined expressions and sneered.

"You should’ve accepted my offer earlier," he said, his eyes lingering on Zoey. "Now it’s too late."

With a simple nod, he gave the signal. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The plunderers surged forward.

The battle began instantly.

Adam was the first to move. Letting out a roar, he rushed forward and swung his hammer toward the nearest attacker. The weapon cut through the air with tremendous force, carrying enough power to crush bone if it connected.

Unfortunately, the plunderer easily dodged.

The man slipped to the side and retaliated immediately, his sword flashing toward Adam’s ribs. Adam tried to evade, but the difference in speed was obvious. The blade sliced into his side, drawing a painful grunt from his throat.

Pain spread through his body, but Adam refused to retreat.

Using the momentum of his movement, he spun and brought the hammer around once more. This strike was even stronger than the first, aimed directly at the man’s chest.

Just before the hammer could connect, another plunderer stepped in.

A sword collided with the hammer’s handle and knocked the attack off course.

The impact traveled through Adam’s arms and nearly forced him to lose his grip. For a moment, he could clearly feel the difference between them.

These people were stronger.

Much stronger.

Still, Adam wasn’t willing to give up that easily.

Fueled by adrenaline, he suddenly lashed out with a kick that caught the first plunderer square in the chest. The man stumbled backward several steps, nearly losing his balance.

A grin immediately spread across Adam’s face.

"Take that, asshole!"

The plunderer’s expression darkened.

Being pushed back by a newly awakened hunter was embarrassing enough. Doing so in front of his companions only made it worse.

Several nearby plunderers snickered.

The man’s face turned red with anger.

"You little brat!"

Meanwhile, Zoey had already drawn her bow.

Her heart was racing, but her hands remained surprisingly steady.

She drew the string back and released.

The arrow shot through the air toward the plunderer charging Adam.

The man noticed it too late.

The projectile struck his thigh and buried itself deep into the flesh.

A pained grunt escaped his lips.

The injury wasn’t serious. His armor and physical defense absorbed most of the damage, but that didn’t stop the humiliation.

First, he had been kicked back by a rookie.

Now he had been shot by another one.

His anger immediately shifted toward Zoey.

"Stay away from him!" Zoey shouted.

The plunderer’s eyes locked onto her.

Without hesitation, he abandoned Adam and charged directly toward her instead.

Zoey quickly reached for another arrow, but before she could release it, a massive figure suddenly appeared between them.

The armored hunter.

His shield slammed forward with explosive force.

A loud bang echoed across the battlefield as the plunderer was sent flying backward, tumbling across the sand before finally coming to a stop.

The armored hunter grinned.

"Eat dirt, bastard."

There was no time to celebrate though.

Another attacker was already rushing toward him.

The battlefield quickly descended into chaos.

Weapons clashed. Sand exploded into the air. Shouts and curses echoed in every direction.
