Chapter 99: Fertilizer
Tulland tossed an Acheflower towards Necia in the split second before Halter reached him, trying to catch both Ley and the rogue in the blast. Halter dodged it easily, and Tulland simply didn’t have the attention to spare to see if Ley was affected in any way. What focus he had was now firmly on the rogue.
The first several clashes felt good. Halter was coming in with his dagger blazing, but every hit he managed to land on Tulland’s armor slid off without causing much damage. The rest were deflected with the pitchfork, leaving Tulland uninjured after the first few clashes.
Seems like he’s not having such a good time.
Pay attention to your vines, you fool.
Tulland looked down at his arm and found that the System was right. One of his Clubber Vines was not entirely dead, but had been shredded within an inch of it.
“Figured you’d know if I killed it outright.” Halter ducked in for another few strikes, killing it absolutely. “Good job noticing. And Tulland? Good seeing you. Bye.”
Stealth skill. Halter disappeared. The ground was mostly open around them, so it wasn’t as if he was hiding in anything more substantial than tall grass. Whatever he was doing was closer to invisibility. I have no clue how to deal with this. Should I run?
I don’t think so. It’s a bad match-up made worse. There’s a hard counter.
That bad? He’ll catch me?
