Chapter 12: King Rasta Bear
Chapter 12: King Rasta Bear
"This is King Rastakhan..." Kyrielight began slowly, her brow furrowed. "It's one in several thousand Rastakhan..."
"Is that so?" Paul immediately became interested. "Doesn't that mean killing one is equivalent to killing thousands?"
"That's not how math is done..." Alina Liz shook her head helplessly, "Besides, we need to be able to kill it..."
"Something's coming!" At that moment, Kyrie Irvine suddenly interrupted their conversation: "It smells us..."
"And there's more than one," Kyrie Irvine said, frowning. "It'll only take a few minutes..."
"It must be the smell of blood from just killing the bear." Upon hearing this, Paul immediately waved his hand: "Form a defensive formation!"
"Talhand, you and Alina Lizhe will lead the vanguard... I'll handle any Rasta bears that slip through... Kyrie Irvine, you take care of the bear king..."
"Miss Loki, can you help cover us?"
"Ah... okay!" Paul's sudden seriousness surprised Loki, and she quickly nodded, saying, "I'll cover you..."
"Miss Sylvanas, could you take charge of helping Gilead?"
"Hmm." Catherine nodded expressionlessly, which was her way of agreeing to Paul's request.
To be honest... unless someone is about to die, Cinderella won't offer any help...
Following Paul's command, the hastily assembled squad members formed a defensive formation.
Luo Qixi hadn't fought alongside others in a long time, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous...
But after feeling the cold aura behind her, she felt a little more confident... No matter what, the teacher was here, and with the teacher there, there would be no danger.
"boom!"
Just then, a loud crash came from ahead, followed by the overturning of a large tree. Amidst howling winds and blizzards, a huge figure revealed its true form.
It was a Rasta bear as tall as a city wall. Just standing there, it exuded an invisible sense of oppression. Its chest and face, covered with scars, explained how it became the Rasta Bear King... and also demonstrated its danger.
Around it were a dozen other Rasta bears, roaring at the adventurers in the distance with chilling howls.
"It's coming..." Paul pursed his lips and gripped his sword tightly upon hearing this, while Loki raised her staff.
"roar!"
Finally, after a slightly tense standoff, the Rasta Bear King let out a deafening roar, and then all the Rasta Bears under its command roared and charged towards the team.
"Drink!"
Tarhand let out a roar, holding his great axe in front of him. Elina Liz, standing beside him, also raised her sword and shield and used her skill to flip over a roaring Rasta bear that was charging at her.
Paul leaped high into the air, wielding his longsword like a nimble assassin, piercing the overturned bear before instinctively sheathing it, only to draw it out again in the next instant.
Interesting… Sidlin looked at this frivolous young man with some surprise… She hadn’t expected him to be a third-rate upper-level swordsman… a swordsman of the Sword God style, the Northern God style, and the Water God style…
Swordsmen of the third style are far rarer than mages of the third style...
Thinking this, Cinderella's gaze fell on Loki.
She was raising her staff, aiming it at the Rasta bear charging towards her from afar.
As the incantation was chanted, an ice spear flew out and pierced through a running giant bear.
The magic was very clean and efficient... the incantation was also very solid... but there were still some flaws... While the people in front were fighting desperately, Cidline stood at the back quite leisurely, thoughtfully observing everyone.
It's obvious... these ordinary Rasta bears simply can't do anything to them... just like the tide crashing against a reef, even if the reef loosens, it will be many years later.
"puff!"
Paul cleaved another Rasta bear in two with his sword, and blood gushed from the wound, soaking almost half of his body.
This seemed to excite him, and he raised his longsword, aiming it at the distant Rasta Bear King: "Do you dare come and fight me!"
"roar!"
His response was a roar that was far more furious and deafening than anything before, a roar that made almost everyone instinctively cover their ears.
And following the roar was the earth trembling like thunder.
The Rasta bear king charged angrily because of Paul's provocation!
"Sinking into a cage of darkness, the Azure Prison is now eternally sealed—Water Prison!" Upon seeing this, Loki immediately began chanting rapidly. With her movements, a ring of water instantly condensed around the Rasta Bear King, as if to transform into a prison to trap it.
However, this ordinary high-level magic was still too weak for it. Loki's water prison only slowed down the bear king for a second before it was torn to shreds.
"roar!"
The bear king roared as it approached the two vanguards, its massive body resembling a boulder rolling down a mountain.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Paul immediately commanded, "You can't stop it!"
Indeed, it is impossible to stop a boulder with an ordinary tree stump. To stop it, you would need either a ravine or another boulder.
And Paul's team just happens to have such a boulder.
"Gileado!" Paul and the others jumped to the side, slipping between Gileado and the Bear King.
"Hoo..." Kyrie Irving exhaled a breath of stale air, then gripped the long sword hidden in its sheath and made a move.
"Buzz!"
The piercing sound of a sword rang out in that instant, and then Kyrie Il collided with the Bear King like a bolt of lightning.
To Loki's astonishment, the giant bear king suddenly stopped, then with a scream, it stood up high and leaned back.
"That's it!" Paul said, raising his longsword and leaping into the bear king's chest with a powerful blow. Alina Liz and Tarhand followed his attack.
Seeing this, Luo Qixi immediately raised her staff, and hailstones shot out from the tip of the staff, heading straight for the bear king.
"roar!"
However, it was clear that they had underestimated the bear king's thick hide; after enduring so many attacks, it still had the strength to let out a deafening roar.
The three people beside it instinctively froze under the influence of that roar.
That momentary pause put them all in danger!
The bear king suddenly raised its paw and swept it towards the three of them. If they were hit by this paw, which was as big as a person, their chances of survival would be slim.
Just then, Cinderella lightly swept her right hand across the room.
A thin, red thread, almost imperceptible to anyone, gently wrapped around the bear's claw, causing the blow that was meant to hit the three of them to deflect and crash to the ground.
"That was close!" Unaware of this, Paul and his two companions quickly retreated a few steps, while Loki's ice spear shot out at the same time, stopping the Bear King's pursuit.
But that's far from enough... such damage is simply not enough to kill the bear king before them.
They need more powerful and more effective attacks.
Such an attack could only come from Gilead, who stood motionless with his katana in hand.
