Chapter 266: What a Cunning Monster
‘Sight!’
‘That’s right, it’s sight.’
Klein’s eyes lit up as he couldn’t help but think to himself.
Such a dense and large area of dust made Klein disappear from their sight.
As a result, the Rogue Archer missed for the first time.
And the Harpy in the sky seemed to have been affected as well!
It looks like the Armored Scorpion’s attack backfired!
With this in mind, Klein suddenly had an idea.
Soon, the third wave of attacks arrived.
But Klein didn’t panic at all. He pretended to fall into the trap and dodged in a panic.
He kept running back and forth in the dust, showing his panic.
He also kept using earth magic with his hands to pry open the ground, constantly expanding the range of the dust.
The attacks from the Rogue Archer and Harpy were constantly increasing, as though they wanted to bury Klein in the endless dust.
However, Klein wasn’t in a hurry. Compared to the Rogue Archer and the Harpy, the Armored Scorpion was the number one monster that Klein had to deal with.
Without dealing with the elusive Armored Scorpion, Klein wouldn’t be able to calm down to deal with the invisible Rogue Archer and the Harpy in the sky.
And they seemed to know what Klein was planning. They only bombarded the spot and didn’t allow the Armored Scorpion to attack at all.
Klein wasn’t in a hurry. After all, they were crypt creatures. Although they had some intelligence, they were still far inferior to humans.
This was especially so in the catacombs world, where there were very few people. Even if they had malicious hearts, they had no way of collecting vicious moves and thoughts.
Soon, the Armored Scorpion couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Klein had screamed more than once in the smoke.
If there were no accidents, Klein would only be left with his last breath.
That human was extremely powerful. If it were to eat him, it was very likely that it would be able to take another step forward!
The Armored Scorpion couldn’t help but think.
Furthermore, the knife in that human’s hand was simply too terrifying.
If it could obtain it, it would very likely become the king of this catacomb. At that time, it would be able to monopolize the platinum treasure chest!
With this thought in mind, the Armored Scorpion couldn’t help but be tempted. Therefore, it couldn’t be bothered and once again cast its innate skill to sink into the ground.
When the Armored Scorpion entered the ground, Klein, who had been maintaining control of the ground through earth magic, immediately discovered its location.
However, Klein wasn’t in a hurry because the scorpion was very far away from him. If he attacked now, even the Endless Sword would find it difficult to kill it.
Even so, Klein didn’t wait passively. Instead, he slowly seeped his gold magic into the ground.
There weren’t many of them, but the advantage was in their persistence.
At this moment, the underground Armored Scorpion was also very cautious. It had surrounded and killed many humans.
As a demon beast that was good at charging, it had suffered a lot at the hands of these humans.
Especially when humans were in a desperate situation, they would erupt with tremendous energy. This energy was enough to pose a fatal threat to the Armored Scorpion.
Therefore, the Armored Scorpion knew that Klein couldn’t hold on, but still maintained a safe distance, waiting for Klein to completely lose his resistance.
At that moment, the Harpy in the sky was constantly adjusting its position to deal a heavy blow to where Klein was.
But because the dust was too large, and the range of the sonic wave attack was large, it stirred up more dust. Therefore, it became increasingly difficult for her to find Klein in the dust.
The Harpy thought for a moment. If this continued, she would definitely use up a lot of her magic.
Moreover, if she could not see the enemy, blindly attacking would only waste her magic.
However, the dust below was too dense.
It was impossible to disperse the sound waves.
She could only cast wind magic to forcefully disperse the dust.
However, she had been very careful to maintain her attack range. In order to use wind magic to disperse the dust, she had to cast it at close range to see the effect.
However, if she used wind magic at close range and was caught by the opponent, then with her fragile body, she would not be able to withstand such a terrifying blade light.
Suddenly, the Harpy thought of a good idea.
Hence, her sharp voice let out a howl, indicating for the Armored Scorpion to go out and delay the enemy while she used wind magic to disperse the dust.
When the Armored Scorpion heard this, it gave a response.
The Harpy, who received a response, still felt that it wasn’t safe. She asked the Rogue Archer to protect her as she blew away the dust. Once the enemy wanted to make the first move, he had to repel the enemy and protect herself.
The Rogue Archer also voiced his agreement.
And Klein, who was in the dust, didn’t know about this.
However, there was nothing he could do even if he saw it. After all, he didn’t understand what they were saying!
And now that the plan had been formulated, the Harpy moved.
With her wings, she was like a fish in water in the air. She was very light and soon arrived in front of the dust outside Klein.
After taking a careful look and finding nothing out of the ordinary, she prepared to cast a wind spell to disperse the dust.
At that moment, Klein was waiting for the Armored Scorpion in the dust, but it didn’t take the bait.
Although Klein had caught the Armored Scorpion underground, due to its fast speed and the distance, Klein was unable to swing his saber and directly kill the Armored Scorpion.
Just as Klein was cursing the beast for being cautious, he suddenly felt that the Harpy outside the dust had taken the initiative to descend.
It was as though someone had given him a pillow when he was dozing off. Compared to the three demonic beasts, the Harpy was the most difficult to kill.
The Harpy was a flying unit with wind magic, and it was extremely fast in the sky. If he wanted to take it down, he would have to expend a lot of effort.
He didn’t expect it to come knocking on his door!
What a pleasant surprise!
But for the Harpy to take such a huge risk to come down, it must be because of the dust in front of him, right?
It seemed like other than the Harpy, the other two demon beasts didn’t have wind magic, so they didn’t have the ability to disperse such a large amount of dust.
With this in mind, Klein once again received an important piece of information.
This gave him a way to deal with the other two demonic beasts.
Therefore, Klein slowly reached below the Harpy.
Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the Harpy.
Logically speaking, the Harpy had come down to cast wind magic to disperse the dust.
But from the looks of it, she seemed to be very slow. It didn’t seem like she was casting wind magic. Instead, she was hooking her feet, ready to escape at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Klein frowned.
He instantly thought, ‘Could it be that this Harpy was afraid of his ambush?’
It was very likely.
His Endless Sword was extremely terrifying. They must have experienced it before, so they definitely wouldn’t give Klein the chance to kill them easily.
And this Harpy must have pretended to cast a spell to confuse him. Once he couldn’t help but take action, it would have enough time to escape.
With this in mind, Klein couldn’t help but curse inwardly. What a cunning monster!
