Chapter 308 Cease With Wisdom
The green beam from the oak staff split into dozens of finer rays upon contact with the male human, binding his hands, feet, and body tightly together.
Shaman Apu, gripping his oak staff, loudly summoned the wolf riders to deliver a fatal blow to the human!
"Binding Shackles" is a skill with a potent control effect, but while using this skill, Shaman Apu himself is unable to perform any other actions.
Shaman Apu observed as the female human dismounted, attempting to sever the green light forming the shackles with her crimson silver longsword. However, her attempt not only failed to break the shackles, but also damaged the blade, rendering it unusable.
"Ha ha ha ha! Keep trying! If you don't have a sword, you can try biting with your teeth, ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!" (Goblin language)
Shaman Apu laughed triumphantly, but as previously mentioned, he remained cautious at heart.
His current assessment was that the male human possessed extraordinary speed, akin to teleportation, and thus posed no threat once bound by the "Binding Shackles". However, he did not rule out the possibility that the male human possessed a teleportation skill, which would render the "Binding Shackles" ineffective.
To prevent such a scenario, Apu had made "preparations" in advance, and the rest depended on how the situation unfolded.
"Hurry up! Kill this male! And don't hurt the female!"
Apu urged loudly, but the wolf riders who arrived a step late hesitated upon seeing the blue flame magic sword ablaze. They feared being burnt to death by the blue flames if they rushed forward recklessly.
"What are you afraid of! Can't you just shoot him dead with the crossbow?!"
It's often said that spectators see the game better than the players. After Shaman Apu's reminder, the wolf riders, accustomed to stabbing and beheading, finally realized their mistake. They all pulled out their crossbows, but at that moment, the male human vanished into thin air again!
— (What?! How?!)
Before Shaman Apu could react, someone had already grabbed him from behind, and a knife was pressed against his throat, even cutting a bit of his flesh, causing blood to trickle down his neck.
"You're the leader, right?! If you don't want to die, order them all to retreat!" (Demon language) The male human's voice came from behind, confirming Shaman Apu's suspicion that this human indeed possessed the rare "teleportation" skill.
At the same time, Shaman Apu was surprised that this human could speak the language of the demons.
— (What is this guy's identity...?)
Regardless of the human's identity, the situation had escalated to a life-or-death struggle between the goblins and him.
Therefore, there was only one thing for Shaman Apu to do, and that was to let his "backup plan" take effect at this moment!
"Brothers! Don't let him escape!" (Goblin language)
Shaman Apu, completely disregarding his own safety, loudly urged the goblins to continue their attack! At the same time, Shaman Apu activated the "First Tier Thunder Magic·Paralysis Trap" he had prepared in advance, intending to trap both himself and the enemy here!
Unlike the "Binding Shackles" which only restricted movement but not skill usage, the "Paralysis Trap" would continuously inflict minor damage and restrict both movement and skill usage.
Shaman Apu was confident that this time he could definitely trap the male human!
However, just as Shaman Apu began to experience the pain of the "Paralysis Trap", the male human, who should have been experiencing the same, appeared before him, beheading a goblin. And this goblin was originally going to pull Shaman Apu out of the "Paralysis Trap".
— (Consecutive... consecutive teleportation?!)
— (How is this possible?!!)
Seeing the human escape from the "Paralysis Trap" using teleportation again, Shaman Apu's worldview collapsed.
Powerful skills should correspond to longer cooldown times, so why could this human teleport consecutively?
If such a thing were possible, then Apu would also want "Earth Curse·Magic Drain" to be infinitely chained, and "Binding Shackles" to bind enemies indefinitely!
What's worse, because he was currently paralyzed, Shaman Apu could do nothing but think, including speaking. This meant that he couldn't give timely orders to his subordinates.
"Listen, goblins, if you want to live, retreat from here immediately, as far as you can!" (Demon language)
The male human pointed his blue flame magic sword at Shaman Apu's head, the power of this flame was something the goblins had just witnessed.
At this critical moment, Shaman Apu hoped his subordinates would disregard his life and death, and their duty was to kill this damned human!
However, the loyalty of the goblin wolf riders to him exceeded Shaman Apu's expectations.
"Human! We will retreat as you say... but! If you dare harm Shaman Apu, no matter where you run! We will hunt you down and kill you!!!" (Demon language)
The goblin wolf riders left a threat, then slowly retreated, looking back every three steps.
Seeing this, Shaman Apu wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, why were these subordinates so straightforward?
Humans, these evil creatures, would surely betray their promises!
.
—(So they really retreated…)
Upon witnessing the complete disappearance of the goblin wolf riders from his field of vision, Tyler was filled with incredulity.
Although the skill "Deceiver" he had used might have played a part, the deep reverence his subordinates held for their leader was indeed a rare and precious thing.
Given Tyler's usual modus operandi, he would undoubtedly eliminate the elder "Goblin Shaman" to prevent future troubles. However, the approaching Viviana made it difficult for him to act.
Even if Viviana couldn't understand the common language of the demons, she must have grasped what Tyler had done just now.
"Viviana, while this creature is still paralyzed and unable to move in the trap, let's retreat quickly."
"Mm... Mm!"
Viviana had a plethora of questions for Banning, but now was not the time. Seizing this opportunity to escape the encirclement of the goblins was of utmost importance.
The black warhorse, very aware of the situation, came to Viviana's side. Its agile movements had saved Viviana from danger several times.
Banning, on the other hand, took a longbow from the soft armor on the back of the warhorse and shot an arrow, breaking the oak staff in the hands of the Goblin Shaman.
The poor leader was still trapped in his own paralysis trap, unable to move.
"Alright, this should prevent it from using those strange spells for a while."
·
In the forest, Viviana, once again in a state of magic power loss, was galloping on her horse, with Banning following not too far away.
According to their route plan, they would first reach the exit leading to the territory of the Scarlet family. Now, the rectangular glowing body of the exit was within sight.
Seeing the hope of success, Viviana couldn't help but get excited.
However, before they reached the exit, a human body, from an unknown source, suddenly fell from the sky with a "bang!" and landed on the road ahead of them!
