Chapter 36: Fighting the three part 2
The three men heard Riven. They exchanged looks with each other before bursting into uncontrolled laughter. They thought that Riven was desperate and would say or do anything now to buy even a little bit of time.
But while they were laughing, Riven moved. He charged in fast, his speed vastly higher than before. In a second, he was already in front of the leader with his sword headed for his throat.
The leader reacted as fast as he could and made to block the attack, but as his sword collided with Riven’s sword, he felt a shiver run down his arm. The strength in that attack was not what he was expecting in the slightest.
His eyes widened. Did this kid get stronger or was he somehow hallucinating? Riven didn’t give him the time to come to a conclusion though, as he placed his hand right in front of the man, and with a sinister smile, he used Flame Blast at point-blank range. For sure, that was a death sentence.
Immediately after he shot the attack, he kicked back to retreat as far as he could. The explosion followed immediately after the attack, killing the leader instantly, while Riven was tossed back by the force. He slammed against a wall and fell to the ground, burn marks on his face.
He got back to his feet immediately, breathing heavily with his sword in hand, but even in that state, there was a bright smile on his face. He had successfully killed one of them. That made him happy to no end.
The two men stared at the body of their leader in disbelief. The thought that Riven would suddenly pull something like this and kill their leader never crossed their minds, yet here they were.
Riven understood that he had managed to kill the leader due to the surprise factor and the increase in his stats, but now he wouldn’t be able to do that again as the other two now knew that he was more dangerous than they anticipated.
He had to act fast and precise. His eyes closed into slits, he kicked the ground and ran at full speed, his legs barely hitting the ground before the other one was swinging.
