Chapter 27: Lewen
The swords stabbed into the ground and blew a crater there. Dust rose and debris flew all around.
That attack acted as the trigger to get going—everyone that was hiding came lunging at them from their hiding places. Swords and daggers, staves and wands, everything was out and ready to go.
Zane landed a few meters away. He barely took a breath when a sword came for his neck, but he reacted fast, moving to the side and dodging the attack. Then he grabbed the player by the arm and dislocated the wrist bone.
"Arghhhhhhh!" the man screamed and dropped the sword. Zane immediately sent a kick to follow up, throwing the man back through a window and into a random house.
"This is going to be a serious hassle," he muttered. A mage came from behind him. She pointed her staff and cast a spell.
"Lightning Arrow!" she yelled, and a bolt of lightning shaped like an arrow fired toward him. It was fast, but not enough to even graze him, he stepped to the side and dodged. Her eyes widened in shock.
She tried to cast again, but he had already covered the distance between them. He grabbed her by the head and slammed her into the ground.
He didn’t really want to kill players here, despite the many benefits of doing that, but he wouldn’t mind at all if they pushed him too far.
As he stood back up, he looked around as three dudes were already rushing at him, two with swords and one with a spear.
The man with the spear thrust first. Zane sidestepped, caught the spear, and snapped it. The two men attacked with slashes. He stepped back, yanked the second end of the spear from the man, and using both halves of the broken spear, he parried the slashes.
