Chapter 20: Abduction (2/4)
More than one hour had drifted by since the invasion of the corrupted creatures. The campfire continued burning, illuminating the heated battle between the hero and the abnormalities.
After observing the hero's strength, the corrupted creatures let go of the other crew members and focused all their attention on him.
However, despite their massive numbers, the hero still remained on top.
His movements were graceful and lethal, a single sword strike could render a corrupted creature powerless or send it back to the hell from which it originated.
"Angelic!"
"He only gets stronger and stronger, never wearing out. What kind of man is he?"
Talks erupted among the few crew members who remained. Even the captain was in awe— for more than twenty years, he had participated in battles with powerful warriors, but none of them could ever muster half of the prowess the hero was displaying currently.
Most of those powerful warriors had decades of war experience, and a few were even renowned for entering terrifying landmarks to hone their skills and become unstoppable. But none of them would last even a second against Alister.
'Two days ago, I was very sure I could stand against him in a duel. But now, I'm not so sure I can fathom the strength behind his weakest attacks!'
Theobald's mind wandered as he observed the hero's amazing performance—unfazed and unstoppable even in the midst of dozens of powerful abnormalities.
'I have to ask for his guidance. I can't miss this opportunity!'
