"What is going on?" The bandit leader kept chasing, but because of the rest of the bandits, he couldn't really break through their position and had to wait behind.
Nathan was toying with the rest of the bandits. He even used all kinds of furniture or items inside the building as a weapon so that he could conserve his Ena.
Seeing how they were unable to gain any upper hand despite their number, the bandit leader immediately commanded the rat-person. "Chase after him. Use the roof to catch up!"
The rat-person nodded.
Little did he know, Nathan had predicted this would happen. The moment he reached the rooftop and saw the rat-person leaping from one building to another, he immediately jumped off the building and entered it through the window.
The rat-person caught up to him. All he needed to do was enter through the same gap, but that was when Nathan punched the wall with his Dragon Fist, blasting the wall.
The rubble hit the rat-person. Several big bricks hit his body, as the biggest one created a wound on his forehead.
The rat-person gnashed his teeth, but Nathan had already run to a different building.
The bandits saw him and chased after him.
But before they could reach that building, several Ena bullets suddenly emerged from the small alley next to that building and killed a few more bandits.
"He is there?!" The bandits thought they saw Nathan inside the building, so those bullets must mean Nathan must have come out through the window and hid in that alley.
To their surprise, they found nothing other than small holes in the wall.
The bandits were confused, but all of a sudden, more bullets rained them down.
"Bullets from above?"
"He must be on the roof!"
The bandits were chasing after him, but they found nothing on the roof. What they didn't realize was that Nathan was not in that building anymore. He was at the back of the building.
The first wave of Ena bullets were the curving bullets he learned from Selena. He curved it horizontally so that the bullets would pierce through the wall and hit them from the alley.
After that, he came out of the house and curved his bullets vertically so that it looked like he was on top of the building.
The reality was that he just wanted to bait them into the rooftop of this building.
Once a lot of bandits entered, Nathan punched the wall with the Dragon Fist, destroying two walls so that the building would collapse.
The bandits panicked as they fell together with the building, getting buried underneath the bricks.
Fenrir couldn't help but take a glance at Nathan, realizing what he meant by guerrilla warfare. That kind of tactic was definitely devious. He actually used the bandits to create confusion and gradually kill them one by one.
If this was inside the city with a lot of people, Nathan would have been practically invincible because he could mingle with normal citizens.
Unfortunately, his advantage disappeared the moment the number had decreased.
The rat-person could finally catch up to him from the top of the rubble.
Nathan wanted to hide in the building behind him, but it was too late. The rat-person reached him with his claws, forcing Nathan to use his Ena shield to block it.
As if expecting this kind of shield from Nathan, the rat-person immediately followed with a sweep from his tail, launching Nathan back to the road so that he couldn't take advantage of the building to confuse them anymore.
"Kh." Nathan rolled a few times on the ground and saw the bandits ready to kill him. However, the bandit leader jumped over those bandits and smashed his giant war axe.
"Yikes." Nathan rolled a few more times, avoiding the axe. The smash contained so much force that it cracked the ground around the impact area.
The other bandits looped around while the rat-person came from the other side, surrounding Nathan from three sides.
Nathan immediately stood up and formed an explosive bullet, blasting the bandits on the left side.
The bandits were screaming as they flew into the air. The bandit leader and the rat-person took advantage of this and closed the distance between them.
Nathan had no choice but to focus on that big axe. He threw the Dragon Fist at the bandit leader, causing the bandit leader to switch his stance. The Dragon Fist pushed him back, but this meant nothing could stop the rat-person.
If he still had his coat, he could use it to block his attack, but the bandit leader was wearing his coat, so Nathan had no other choice but to receive this claw attack.
Nathan tossed his body to the side, getting away as much as possible. Sadly, the claws still reached him, grazing his arm and slightly hitting his side.
This was enough for the rat-person because Nathan had fallen to the ground because of his choice. He could simply deliver a killing blow this time.
When the rat-person was about to reach Nathan, the bandit leader suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"
The rat-person widened his eyes, halting his steps abruptly. It allowed him to react to a spear that almost pierced his neck from the side.
When he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a breastplate and a pair of pauldrons. She had silver hair and an otherworldly beauty, yet the most noticeable thing about her was the pair of white wings on her back.
She thrust her spear at the rat-person. The latter used his claws to deflect it to the side. The spear was supposed to miss him, but surprisingly, Ena burst from her spear, destroying his ear.
"!!!" The rat-person widened his eyes in shock and immediately leaped back.
Nathan couldn't help but smile as he saw Anubis and Serafina behind her, catching up. Anubis hurriedly activated his healing power.
"It seems you have summoned the Valkyrie." Nathan grinned as this was the time for the counterattack.
