Chapter 16 A Hero With His Costume
The events that were taking place caused Leas to open her eyes, but when she saw the newcomer, she was rendered speechless.
Holding the tip of the vine in his gloved hand and an ordinary stick in the other, a frail-looking man wearing nothing but gray underwear and black boots underneath walked slowly towards the winged woman.
As the woman struggled to pull the vine from her head that had caused her to fall from the sky and hit the ground, she was startled by a sharp pain in her throat. She then felt her consciousness leave her body, and she gradually stopped moving.
[Lv. 8 Winged-man(F-Rank) has been killed.]
[Your team gained 8 points.]
[You gained 80 experience points.]
With his inappropriate clothing for the scene and his heroic entry, Raydon said to Seraher as he carefully removed the stick from the winged woman's throat. ''I just realized that, ''
His dark eyes slowly scanned the area, while everyone stared at him in silence.
Then he continued, ''Chickens give more experience points. ''
What chickens?!
While everyone was searching for meaning in these words, someone broke the silence.
''You! Who the hell are you?! '' The wingman with the iron staff was shocked to see Raydon.
'Isn't this the person Silent Death was after? Where is Silent Death? ' The more the winged man thought, the more perplexed he became until he noticed Raydon's black one-handed glove and boots.
Then, he recalled the scene when the winged woman died in a matter of seconds.
'It was flawless. '
In a voice filled with tremors and horror, he spoke to his comrade, ''H-he killed Silen… ''
''I know.'' The wingman with the great sword said. The truth also made him appear frightened.
Despite the fact that the man in front of them only had the items of the winged man he had recently killed and was level 1 based on the tattoo on his hand, they did not dare underestimate him or discuss the truth of the matter further.
Whatever method he used, the evidence showed that he did indeed kill Silent Death and that he had also just killed their other teammate right in front of their eyes.
''I have no idea how many mobs he killed out there, but just the experience he gained from those two would be sufficient for a normal item holder to level up right away. He must have a very rare type of title, so be cautious. Don't be fooled by his appearance. '' The man with the great sword said. He was certain of his conclusion.
He wasn't the only one who had this thought. Everyone there, including Raydon's teammates, already realized he wasn't who he seemed.
''Hold him off for a little while, and I'll get this done quickly and join you. '' Without further delay, the wingman with the great sword attacked Seraher. She was already worn out, so the wingman, who had the upper hand, was now attacking more hurriedly and aggressively.
''You better hurry, this man is making me uneasy.'' The wingman with the iron staff looked at Raydon's disturbing outfit and said.
Raydon ignored the winged woman as she vanished behind him and transformed into a hum of light before marching into the fray.
''Accelerate. ''
''Fire Ball. ''
''Lighting Ball. ''
''Water Ball. ''
''Bind. ''
The wingman began employing every skill he possessed as he flapped his wings and rose to the sky.
However, Raydon used his ultra-super evasion skill from his previous world to deftly avoid all incoming attacks.
''Roll. ''
''Roll. ''
''Roll. ''
''Roll. ''
The wingman felt frustration as soon as he noticed that Raydon was expertly dodging all of his attacks by simply rolling to the left and right.
''It's not even an item skill you use; why the fuck are you chanting its name as if it were?! '' When he realized Raydon was mocking him, the wingman erupted in a fit of rage.
But he soon collected himself and believed that everything would work out in his favor as he continued the aerial assault and avoided Raydon's vine.
''All you can do is roll around. You can't even attack me while I'm in the air, hahaha. '' As time passed, the wingman's self-confidence grew.
But he started to get restless once more when he saw Raydon getting ready to throw the vine.
''You can't catch me with that thing. ''
''Accelerate. ''
He made the decision to temporarily stop the attack and concentrate on avoiding the vine. He couldn't ignore the vine because it was the cause of the winged woman's death.
''We will see. '' Raydon said with a cheeky smile and threw the vine.
The wingman thought that this couldn't be true as he was surprised to see the vine that resembled a lasso approaching him.
''What is this? This is too slow. '' It wasn't a skill; it was just Raydon throwing a lasso, so an item holder could easily avoid it, if not catch them off guard.
However, the main concern in Wingman's mind was why Raydon made such a clear and pointless attack on him.
'Is he planning to use his title skill or something? I need to be careful.' He thought carefully. He easily escaped the lasso that was thrown at him and moved as far away as he could, just in case. However, he cried out in panic when he realized where the lasso was headed.
''OH, NO, DODGE THAT. ''
Though he attempted to grab the vine while flying quickly, it was already too late.
Hearing his friend's cries, the wingman with the great sword turned his head for a split second to see what was going on, only to be greeted by the vine wrapped around his neck.
''Gaagh!!! ''
When Raydon pulled the vine, he abruptly lost his balance and dropped the sword he was holding.
As soon as Seraher noticed this, she seized the chance that had been presented to her. Although she lacked the mana necessary to use her skills, she attacked right away with her sword.
After being startled by the unexpected events, the wingman pointed his staff at Seraher and chanted when he realized his friend was about to die.
