Second World

1346  Chapter 1346. Master Shows Up

Despite his shock, Finn managed to position and covered himself when he fell. Thus, protecting his vital parts and avoiding getting his shields broken. He already lost one shield prior. He only had two shields above him.

He didnʼt let himself stay for long on the ground. He rose and watched the scene before him in disbelief. The front part of his truck had caved in. There was no way that truck was still usable. Jack in his dragon form was standing in front of the wrecked truck.

While he was still processing the scene, he felt a sharp pain from behind. One of his two shields broke.

Grace had taken the chance and stabbed Finn in his back.

Finn only had one shield left. He couldnʼt afford to be careless. He took out a skill-free stone from his pocket. However, before he could use it, Jack had come before him.

Jackʼs claw thrust forward with One-word Thrust. Jackʼs thrust struck Finnʼs wrist which hand was holding the skill-free stone. In this place, it was possible to wound a player. Even without mana manipulation, the power of Jackʼs martial art in his supreme dragon form was nothing to be taken lightly.

Finnʼs hand was cut off on his wrist.

Both the pain and the horrific sight caused Finn to scream hysterically. He couldnʼt take his eyes off his maimed hands. The maiming wound him but it didnʼt destroy his shield. Jack would have to hit his vital parts to do that.

Jack didnʼt plan to finish him yet. He used one hand to grab Finnʼs head before using the dragon formʼs wind jet to shoot forward. Dragging Finn with him, Jack flew at high speed toward the werewolf who was about to destroy Windyʼs last shield.

Jack slammed Finn into the werewolf. The force threw both Finn and the werewolf into a ruined building. Jack then fired his soul breath into that building.

”Go hide!” Jack told Windy. She was a native and she only had one shield left. Jack didnʼt want to risk her dying.

He then went to the next comrade who was in trouble. Naomi was also losing the fight and she had lost her shields until only one was left. The weapon masterʼs Weapon Festival was already over, but the weapon master used another skill-free stone. His wooden bat was enveloped in light. It was the Ki Weapon.

Even though the skills are activated using a skill-free stone, the cooldown rule still applied. So, the weapon master had to resort to using Ki Weapon instead of using the more powerful Weapon Festival for the stoneʼs second usage.

With Ki Weaponʼs increased reach, the bat was about to strike Naomi, but a hand came and caught the bat on its track.

”What…?!” The weapon master stared in disbelief at the one who had stopped his swing. It was a humanoid dragon.

He couldnʼt stare for long, though, as Jackʼs other claw came slamming into his head. He immediately found himself down on the ground. He wondered if the hit just now was a slap or a train ramming into his head.

Jack didnʼt stop there. He continued by stomping on the weapon masterʼs head, taking out all the shields on the poor guy.

Jackʼs beast form ended then. A one-minute duration was too short. He couldnʼt finish all these enemies fast enough.

Unfortunately, even though Jackʼs soul breath was powerful, it was not a multi-hit skill. So, it only destroyed one shield from the beastmaster. The beastmaster who was no longer a werewolf rushed out of the ruined building. He had two shields left. Rushing out with him were six wolves. The beastmaster had used another skill-free stone and used Call Wolf Pack.

”Get behind me!” Jack told Naomi. He then used his wrench and shortsword to perform the formless flowing sword style. The six wolves couldnʼt get near them and were instead getting countless slashes from Jack.

The beastmaster tried to circle Jack and get to Naomi. But when he was halfway, he received a hard impact on his head. He immediately turned in Spring Crownʼs direction, thinking that Spring Crown had stolen a shot.

But he noticed Spring Crown was still busy helping Tom deal with Freddie. Spring Crown was also too far away to hit him even with the slingshot. He then felt a second impact. This second impact took out his last shield. He died without even knowing who had killed him.

The beastmasterʼs six wolves disappeared once their owner died. Jack turned in the direction where the shot had come from. He saw Master coming out from an obscured alley between two ruined buildings.

Grace had gone to help Tom and Spring Crown fought Freddie. It was now a three-against-one.

Freddie studied the situation, which was not good. They failed to take out any enemy and instead, he lost three members. He had been winning against Tom but with the addition of Grace, he wonʼt be able to take down Tom in a short time. Tom only had one shield left, but he didnʼt think risking himself getting surrounded for one kill was worth it.

He moved away from Tom and called his one remaining comrade, the ethereal woman who was fighting against Stefan. ”Saddie! We lost! We have to leave!”

Saddie didnʼt dilly-dally, she retreated once Freddie gave the order. She retreated while continuing shooting at Stefan to prevent him from chasing her. Stefan wasnʼt interested in doing so. He was happy this ethereal woman left.

By the time Jack came to where they were, Freddie and Saddie were already gone.

”Should we chase?” Tom asked. He was panting from the fight.

”No, there might be a trap where they are retreating to. We should recuperate first. Windy, use this,” Grace gave the adhesive bandage to Windy. Tom also had only one shield left, but Windy was a native. Tom didnʼt object to Graceʼs decision.

”Yo, boss! Youʼve finally shown yourself,” Spring Crown noticed Master.

Master came out of the alley and walked to them.

”Where have you gone to? Why are you helping us now?” Jack asked him.

”Iʼm not helping you. I just chase away those people so we can talk,” Master said.

”Talk about what?” Jack asked.

”I have a way to remove all these restrictions that are forced upon us, but I will need you to do something,” Master said.
