Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang charged at the Shamanti assailant standing closest to him. He did not see any of them holding any weapons, however, he could sense that none of the enemies were weak. The target seemed to have sensed his approach and was prepared to counter. At the same movement, the other Shamanti warriors also jumped into action.

…

Dalia asked, “Did you not say that he will not need the gauze bandage if he can get in silently. Why is this happening?”

She was not an expert in the field, although she had the skill to take down a lot of people, she used poison and medical knowledge as her arms. Carlos heard her question and sighed.

He said, “Did you think that if a cadet can get inside, our military cannot? The reason we cannot get inside is that it is too dangerous. These random-looking cavemen, are so cunning that they deliberately expose the openings and lead you in. It is the exit that is his true task.”

Charlotte said, “Sometimes, even if you have the ace, you do not use it. You need to hold on to it and wait for the game-changing chance. Shi Lang has no such experience. I accept that is far more talented than the other candidates we have read or seen out there, but he still lacks the edge. A sword is only sharp when it is whetted.”

…

The data had stated that the Shamantis were all impeccably strong in their way of witchcraft. However, they also had a weakness. It was like a group of people playing a role-playing game and their skills had limited parameters and cooldown time. This was the reason why they moved around in groups.

Shi Lang was aware of this and he would have to deal with these people with a calm head. He would be needed to prevent himself from taking damage while putting these people down. This was easier said than done. He spotted a scimitar in the hand of the Shamanti warrior he attacked.

It was only possible when he found the black weapon glowing in the glow from the sun falling over the blade surface. Shi Lang suddenly sensed the wind around his neck move and he took half a step back. His pupils dilated to the limits. Just now if not for the retreat, he would have been beheaded.

The attack was so fast that he could not keep up with it. Thankfully he still had his ability and instincts. Shi Lang sensed an attack coming at his back, as soon as he finished dodging the slash on his neck. He moved diagonally to the right of the assailant who attacked him earlier. The distance between the two people, when they crossed each other, was just one meter.

The assailant did not expect Shi Lang to avoid his attack and was surprised, but the attack on the back was also evaded with a power dash. The speed of this dash was not slow, thanks to running in the maze, the endurance and alertness have increased a lot, along with the explosive power in his legs.

When passing the guy Shi Lang did not forget to attack at the elbow of the Shamanti warrior. The tactical knife was very sharp and was stabbed in the joint. The warrior let out a wail. He tried to attack with the scimitar in his other hand but the sword held by Shi Lang had already made its way through his neck and with a jerk, his head was chopped off.

The Shamantis had a different language, but they all roared in anger at the death of their partner, as they charged at Shi Lang. The boy could not leave too far as his supplies were all dropped here, but in their anger, the assailants ignored his stuff and engaged him with a strong and relentless attack.

Shi Lang did not run away, he began to use his energy to run his ability to the strongest as he parried and dodged the incoming attacks. He could only make out the vague outline of the weapons when he would see the sunlight reflecting from them. He made sure to line himself in such a manner.

He was not invincible to have survived under a chain of nine attacks, without a scratch. The boy had a few cuts on his body and a big three inches gash splitting his eyebrow horizontally. Thankfully he had the ability to control the blood flow inside his body, and he manage to not faint from blood loss.

However, this whole time he was not just saving his ass, but also, calculating how but the cold won time was. After three waves of attack, he found what the play was. as soon as the attack was parried this time, Shi Lang took a step forward, and the sword in his hand blocked the incoming attack at his sides, but the knife in his hand flew off and was stabbed in the throat of the assailant he chased.

The group of Shamantis again burst up in a roar. The combat turned out to be burdensome for the boy. Shi Lang decided to kite up all these people in order to save his effort and stamina. His plan worked as well, the purple humans were killed but it took him ten minutes to do so. Do not think ten minutes were very short. Shi Lang would have died three times at the least in this battle. In the end, Shi Lang was covered with three deep wounds on his body, and the rest was bruises and shallow cuts.

He did not use weapons but he was aware that he had already attracted a lot of attention and beasts too. He rushed his way to collect his gear and after taking a quick healing palette he rushed away from this place. He was not a fool to realize that he has fallen into the trap. To survive was his first priority.

…

Yuu nodded and said, “He did well in combat.”

Dalia nodded, “He did well in applying medicine to his wounds as well.”

Charlotte nodded and said, “He will emerge from this task, a new. You have to make sure of his safety.”

Carlos said, “Silence, I want to sees something.”

With that said, the people turned back in the direction of the screen and continued watching as the boy shuttled through the forest.
