Chapter 34: What Happened?
SHUUU!
The harsh whistling of the boomerang hit a peak, passing through the wind like arrows slicing through the air. The wind kicked up, a rotating cyclone of it, making it look more like a flying silver disk than a boomerang.
It passed right through Theron's head.
The expression of the Metal Mancer changed, confusion coloring his eyes for a brief instant before another head flew through the air.
'40%.' Theron thought to himself. He was running out of Mana too quickly. Fooling the eyes of a Ninth Resonance Mancer wasn't easy even with an Adept Boundary [Touch of Mirage].
He landed on the ground nimbly and then took an explosive step backward.
His timing was perfect. The other Bronze Assassins were still rushing ahead, many of whom hadn't quite reacted to the changes just yet. In one moment, Theron was ahead of everyone, and in the next instant, he had slipped into the group.
Theron's mode changed and his focus shifted from attack to conserving and recovering energy.
Without a choice, the Bronze Assassins were forced into an all-out battle, and the Metal Mancer realized quickly that they were outnumbered by far.
