Chapter 14 The Enraged Weasel
"Slash!"
A dagger struck Alan's Thunderstorm Bow, sending a shower of sparks flying.
"It's you again!"
Alan frowned. This was the same assassin who had tried to steal his boss earlier.
His nickname was hidden, but his appearance was not so easily disguised.
Without uttering a single word, the assassin swiftly twirled his dagger a full 180 degrees and lunged at Alan once more.
Alan leaned back and quickly equipped himself with the Black Iron Treefolk Set.
As soon as the Treefolk Set was equipped, Alan's resistance increased, and his health received a significant boost.
At the same time, Alan rolled sideways, dodging the assassin's attack.
But just as he dodged the it, Alan was slightly startled.
The assassin had disappeared.
It wasn't stealth.
Alan could feel the assassin right behind him.
He turned around without hesitation.
However, he still saw nothing.
If there were any onlookers, they would notice that the assassin was always behind Alan, specifically in his blind spot.
No matter what Alan did, he couldn't see the assassin.
"Shadow Step?"
Alan's face darkened.
Shadow Step wasn't a skill but a technique.
The method involved positioning oneself to stay in the opponent's blind spot, almost like hiding in the enemy's shadow.
Hence the name Shadow Step.
Hearing Alan name the technique he was using, the assassin was slightly surprised.
But in that instant, Alan had already made his move.
An arrow was shot through the air. This time, Alan didn't turn around but used his leg to draw the longbow and shot an arrow backward.
The assassin had combat skills, but as a reborn player, Alan also had some unique combat techniques.
Alan's maneuver was quite extraordinary, and coupled with the assassin's momentary surprise, he was hit by Alan's arrow.
[-1352.]
The assassin was killed in one shot, but unfortunately, he didn't drop any equipment this time.
"This assassin is still targeting at me," Alan muttered to himself. He had originally thought it was just a minor conflict with the assassin.
But he hadn't expected the assassin to ambush him silently today.
In the newbie village, at the resurrection altar.
Ernest looked serious. "Quick reflexes, high damage, good combat skills, and he knows Shadow Step..."
"Ice King, whoever you are, you've killed me twice. One day, I'll get my revenge."
If Alan had heard this, he would have retorted.
The first time, the assassin had tried to steal his boss, so Alan killed him.
This time, the assassin did it again.
But Alan didn't know any of this.
He had now found the bard in the newbie village.
The bard was well-dressed, but his mustache made him look somewhat comical.
[Bard: Level 15.]
[Health: ???]
[Attack: ???]
[Skills: ???]
[Note: This is a bard wandering near the newbie village. Perhaps you can get some unexpected benefits from him.]
This note made many players think the bard had quests or was worth something good.
But he wasn't.
He was just an intelligent humanoid boss, not of a high grade, just Black Iron.
But his skills were very peculiar.
Back then, it took thousands of players in the newbie village to take him down.
This time, Alan wanted to use him to relive some of his past life's maneuvers.
Just as Alan had previously explained to Walter, mobile attacks were merely the most basic technique for an archer. Earlier, when Alan used the Thunderstorm Bow to block the assassin's melee attack, it was also a form of technique.
Alan hid behind a large tree and drew his bow. Once the energy arrow formed, he began to twist the bowstring, making it taut and elongated. Alan's aim wasn't directed at the bard but to the left.
The arrow shot through the air.
Not far away, Ernest, who was in deep stealth, frowned. He guessed that Alan might be hunting the bard, but the arrow's direction seemed off.
What happened next left Ernest dumbfounded.
Alan's arrow curved mid-air and precisely hit the bard standing in the distance.
[-925.]
A massive damage number appeared. The bard, caught off guard by the sudden attack, was bewildered because Alan had not exposed himself from behind the tree.
This was one of the archer's shooting techniques, the Twisting String Arrow Technique! By twisting the bowstring, the arrow would spin as it flew. With the right control of power and angle, the arrow could curve. Additionally, the arrow would spin rapidly in the air, resulting in a high penetration effect and dealing more damage upon hitting the enemy.
Another arrow was shot.
"Found you."
The bard saw Alan shoot again. Although he couldn't see Alan's position, he saw the direction from which the arrow came. He leaped towards Alan.
However, while still in mid-air, the arrow hit him.
The immense impact from the Twisting String Arrow Technique pushed the bard back over 40 feet in the air.
Then came the second arrow, the third arrow...
Each successive arrow carried a strong impact.
Ernest witnessed an astonishing scene.
The bard was being juggled in the air by Alan's arrows, unable to fall.
Just as the bard began to descend, Alan's next arrow shattered his hopes, pushing him back again.
The arrows were so precisely placed that they not only knocked the bard back but also lifted him slightly higher into the air.
"This..."
Ernest, a usually composed assassin, was now stunned and speechless by Alan's performance.
However, his extensive combat experience told him that achieving what Alan did was extremely difficult, very, very difficult!
Because when the first arrow hit the bard, Alan had to consider the landing point of the third arrow. Otherwise, such continuous juggling would be impossible.
Moreover, in Ragnarok, when an opponent was juggled, they suffered combo damage.
Typically, only warrior classes had skills to juggle enemies and then chain other skills to deal combo damage.
But Alan, an archer, managed to pull off such an outrageous combo damage.
The bard roared in anger, his body rapidly expanding, transforming from a bard into a weasel over 120 feet tall, covered in brown fur!
Simultaneously, the bard's attribute panel changed.

[Health: 1,012,500/1,253,000.]
[Attack: 813.]
[Skills: Illusion, Shapeshift, Control Immunity, Rage, Soul Capture, Mind Control.]
