Chapter 216: Don’t You Dare!
Boss gritted his teeth angrily. He didn’t expect Theodore to move that fast and get to him in an instant. Even Boss himself couldn’t react in the slightest, only to find Theodore’s black sword already scraping his neck.
"Sorry to foil your plan, but I need that boy, and I won’t allow him to work with you," Theodore said calmly but still pointed his sword at Boss’s neck.
Suddenly, there was a sound of laughter from the Boss. He was laughing like crazy. Theodore, who heard that, tightened his grip on his sword. Even though he himself rolled his eyes lazily, he could already see that Boss was the dramatic type.
The longer Theodore watched Boss, he slowly saw a change. Boss’ body shape was slowly changing, and Theodore heard Celia shouting at him in a panic.
"He’s going to change, run!" Celia, with a face full of fear, carried herself away from Boss, even if she had to crawl.
Not long after that, Theodore felt an explosion of power from Boss’ direction. Like the madmen Theodore had previously seen in the town square, the figure of Boss in front of him now resembled that of the madman except that his strength was more excellent.
Not only that, Theodore could also see that Boss’ body shape was slightly different, the most prominent being his nails, which had turned long and sharp.
"Damn, what happened to this bastard?!" Theodore immediately drew his sword and placed it in front of his body, ready to fight with the transformed Boss.
Fortunately, Theodore was still paying attention to his surroundings when he realized that Celia was still in the nearby area in shock, and it was the first time he saw Celia showing such a frightened look on her face.
"Celia! Get out of here now. Roxanne and Geoffrey will be here soon. Go with them!" Theodore made sure that Celia heard his words.
Only then did Theodore move forward to attack the Boss, who had roared and started running towards him with madness in his eyes.
As he moved forward, Theodore saw Boss leaping towards him with his claws aimed at his neck. Not having time to dodge, Theodore used his sword to block the claws.
While holding back the claws that were trying to hurt him, Theodore could feel that the power possessed by Boss in this form was really great.
Even Theodore himself had a hard time blocking the attack, so he had to activate his slash skill to remove the Boss’s claws from in front of his face. Because of that, Theodore had to take a step back.
After that, Theodore and Boss exchanged many attacks, and the sound of clinking iron began to be heard clearly there. Not only that, Theodore also had to face Boss’sBoss’s remaining men there.
This really made Theodore difficult; he expected that Boss would have a different kind of strength. Moreover, Boss’s men also started to enter their crazy phase, which made Theodore go crazy.
"If I had known like this, I wouldn’t have planned to defeat them by myself," Theodore muttered while regretting his decision.
[The Host is in a dangerous state. The System recommends escaping immediately. Otherwise, the Host could lose their life]
"The problem is how am I supposed to escape from this situation anyway, System!" Theodore shouted angrily as he raised his sword and aimed it to block the boss’ attack that was coming back at him. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Because Theodore had to block the Boss’s attack, the other side of his body was exposed without defence and was used by the Boss’s men to attack him.
Theodore felt a blunt blow around his body at that moment, and he hurriedly threw the Boss’s claws, which were held by his sword. After that, Theodore swung his sword around his body to repel Boss’sBoss’s men who were nearby.
This was the first time Theodore was panting while fighting someone. Even he could feel his body was in a lot of pain right now, and his HP bar was already reduced by half. Theodore intended to use a potion to restore his HP.
It was just that Theodore was not given the chance to use his potion because the Boss and some of his men immediately charged towards him again and attacked him blindly.
Ding!
[Host has received Bleed debuff]
[System is processing the debuffing process]
Theodore was surprised when he got a notification about this debuff problem because this was not the first time he got a debuff status like this. It was just that previously, the System could remove the debuff quickly. frёewebηovel.cѳm
This time, Theodore realized that the System had not finished removing the debuff on him, and he felt fresh blood flowing from his back. But Theodore couldn’t stop his attack because these people would take advantage of it and hit him more brutally if he stopped.
While talking to the System, Theodore continued to swing his sword to strike back at the people who lunged at him. Even Boss himself jumped up and attacked him from above.
"System, what’s going on? Why hasn’t the debuff on me been removed?" Theodore asked anxiously because the System did not usually behave like this.
Although the System usually annoyed Theodore and sometimes acted annoyingly, he knew best that the System always did its job well and gave him unlimited power.
[There’s something wrong with the Host’s body right now, and it’s making it difficult for the System to remove the debuff on the Host]
"What do you mean by that?" Theodore, who didn’t expect the System’s answer, had to willingly receive an attack from Boss, who launched his claws towards his chest.
Theodore groaned in pain as he took the full brunt of the attack. He could feel the skin on his chest peeling off and began to spurt fresh blood from the attack.
Ding!
[Host has been hit by the Bleed debuff]
[System is processing the debuffing process]
Again, Theodore received the Bleed debuff, and he could see his HP bar continuing to decrease as time passed. When he realized his current situation, Theodore knew that he had to escape immediately; otherwise, he could really die.
To hell with his pride, Theodore chose to escape. He turned around and hurriedly activated his Sprint skill and ran as fast as he could to escape from the Boss and his men.
Fresh blood continued to flow from Theodore’s wound. No matter where he ran, it seemed like Boss and his men could find him because the blood spots followed his steps.
Even so, Theodore continued to escape and tried to hide until he finally felt himself pulled by someone.
Only after that Theodore was unconscious because he had lost a lot of blood from his wound. After that, he didn’t know what happened to him.
