Chapter 111: Helper: Patch
Helper? Why are you here?
But no matter what, one more person means one more strength!
Dal decisively chose to summon, even though the bald guy shown on Patch's summoning mark didn't look like a good person.
But we are all adults, how can we judge people by appearance? Dal thinks Patch is good-looking. How can this appearance be called cunning? It should be said that he is full of wisdom.
He just likes smart people!
Looking back at the battlefield, the battle gradually reached a white-hot stage.
Seven against one, no, Tel is dead, now it's six against one, actually the result won't be too suspenseful.
The hunter's fighting style is very open and aggressive. He doesn't use marathon moves or tricks like ring grabbing. Apart from the transformation slash that often causes people to get hurt because they can't judge the distance accurately, he also has a ghostly dodge that makes adventurers' moves miss frequently.
In fact, we can’t blame the adventurer for his low accuracy. Gong Qiying built in extremely high dodge capabilities for the hunter, which also has some command reading capabilities.
If someone is willing to get close and hold the hunter back, even at the risk of being seriously injured, it will create an opportunity for others to attack.
"Bang!"
As soon as the gunshot rang out, an adventurer who tried to launch a sneak attack was knocked to his knees. However, before the hunter could go up to execute him, he was forced back by a sword from Roger who came up stealthily.
"What on earth is that weapon?" Malu frowned and said, "It makes such a loud noise, could it be enchanted with thunder magic?"
Drew shook his head. He didn't sense any magical aura from the pistol, which meant that the hunter's pistol was a purely physical attack.
I have never heard of this strange weapon. I really want to take it back and study it carefully.
He began to regret why he didn't learn [Expelliarmus] in the first place.
"Bang!"
Another shot, and Roger's shoulder burst into blood, but it was just an ordinary shot and did not trigger the gun to counterattack.
In Sean, if the gun counterattack is not triggered, the power of the shooting is not that great for a well-trained adventurer, and is about the same as being hit by a low-level magic missile.
"Get him, Roger!"
Drew shouted, and Roger understood what he meant. He insisted on grabbing the hunter despite taking two hits.
"【Intermediate Slowdown Technique】!"
Drew consumed multiple times of his magic power to instantly cast a mid-level spell, and finally hit the target!
However, it hit both Hunter and Roger, and the effect of the magic was dispersed at once.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Malu's figure flashed past the hunter in an instant, and a slanted wound immediately appeared on his chest.
The hunter swung his knife back, but his attack was easily avoided due to the slowness spell.
"ah!"
Just when Roger was about to give him a heavy blow to the heart, the hunter suddenly ate something, roared wildly, and actually lifted the slowness spell!
With just one cut, Roger's stomach was ripped open and his intestines spilled out.
"Depend on!"
The battle seemed to have returned to the starting point, but at this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard, and something hit the hunter.
He swung his knife at the hidden weapon, only to have its contents spilled with a greasy thud.
It smells like oil?
The hunter turned around and saw a golden bald guy with a spear in one hand and a large shield in the other hand throwing a flame pot at him.
Of course it couldn't hit him, but the greasy oil all over his body made the hunter's feet slippery, making it inconvenient for him to move.
"Patch, you left and I'm right!"
Dal suddenly rushed out and rushed forward with Patch. The latter said nothing but showed a nasty smile and went forward with a big shield.
The shield poke is too tricky. It's hard for the hunter to fight it, but Patch just holds up the shield and won't let go.
"Where did this guy come from?" Malu blinked.
"It seems like a helper," Drew said in astonishment, "There are still people willing to draw talismans here to help strangers?"
"He looks so cunning," Malu complained.
For some reason, the battle suddenly became easier after Patch joined. The hunter's attack seemed to slow down, and he just kept dodging and shooting.
The sound of "bang bang bang" resounded throughout the Fran Fortress, like a series of thunders.
"Wow!" Malu was almost hit by the meat saw. She fell to the ground while dodging. Patch beside her reached out to help her.
"Thank you, thank you," Malu bowed her head and thanked him.
Patch didn't say anything, just smiled at her and continued fighting.
He seems like a good person. I shouldn't judge people by appearance. Malu suddenly felt ashamed.
The hunters' fatigue gradually became apparent, and just as everyone was seizing the opportunity and preparing to rush forward -
“Ahhhh!”
Suddenly, the sound of a large number of monsters was heard nearby!
"The movement of the weapon attracted the monsters!" The adventurer reacted instantly. No wonder the hunter had been shooting since just now.
So despicable!
A large number of ferocious Gollums rushed towards the adventurers. Looking at the hunter, he suddenly took out something like a knife and slashed it in the air.
[The Soul-sucking Ghost "Hunter" has returned to the original world]
Depend on!
Everyone's eyes widened. If you can't beat them, just run! ?
[Received a gift from the hunter: Hunting Manual]
[You can view the information of all hunted prey]
It feels like I've unlocked something magical new.
But there is no time to take care of this now!
Dozens or even hundreds of monsters rushed over madly. It was simply a small monster tide that they could not defeat at all.
"Run!" Drew yelled, and just as he was about to escape, he was suddenly stopped.
"Take me, take me with you," said Roger weakly as he lay on the ground.
"How are you still alive when your stomach is broken?" Although he said disgusted, Drew still carried Roger on his back and ran away dragging the other's intestines.
Just as Malu was about to follow, she suddenly turned back and looked at Patch's position worriedly.
[The assistant "Patch" has returned to the original world]
Well, no need to worry now.
Chased by monsters, the adventurers began their desperate journey.
I thought those Gollums were all I could deal with, but it turned out to be just the appetizer. More and more monsters appeared and chased everyone.
"Is this really something that guy can lure over here?"
Malu shouted, although the gunshots were very loud, it was impossible for them to attract so many monsters. It was as if all the monsters in the entire Fran Fortress were attracted here!
It feels as if the dungeon deliberately cooperated with the hunter to do this.
The formation that was barely maintained began to collapse under the impact of the monster tide. By the time Malu came to her senses, she had already shaken off the monsters, but had been separated from everyone else.
What was before him seemed to be the edge of the Fran Fortress, and ahead was an unfathomable cliff. If he fell down, he would surely die.
There was a cave next to the cliff with torches burning inside, as if attracting her over.
The more attractive something looks, the more dangerous it is. Malu knew this very well, so she immediately became alert and gave up the idea of going to the cave.
"Hey, little sister, come here quickly, before the monster finds you."
"Who is speaking?"
A strange and unfamiliar voice came from the audience, it was high-pitched and mean, and it sounded a bit treacherous.
"It's me. I just helped you. Come to the cave quickly."
Malu walked over slowly and found a golden bald head.
It's Patch!
He was now squatting beside the torch and grinning at Malu.
"Didn't you leave?" Malu asked in surprise.
Her vigilance relaxed when she saw Patch, not only because of his help, but also because of one thing - people nowadays believe that helpers are all good people.
The most popular assistant at the moment is Stellan, who has gained a lot of favor among the crowd.
Then there are the believers of the Church of the Starfire. With the help of the Flame Monks, they all became Sun Warriors. Apart from praying to Gwyn, the God of Fire, their daily routine is to go out on patrol in the dungeon and help others.
Although these people are not as powerful as Stellan and often fail when the sun shines, the mere act of selflessly helping others is enough to win their favor.
There are also scattered adventurers who are attracted to become Sun Warriors, helping others in their spare time and brushing up souls to improve their own strength.
Thus, the formula of Sun Warrior = good guy spread among adventurers.
Although Patch in front of him is not a Sun Warrior, he is also a helper, so he must have good intentions, right?
"It's a long story. Please sit down first," Patch sighed and said, "I originally went back, but as soon as I got back, I drew the summoning mark and was summoned by you again. I was chased by monsters and had no chance to cut off my finger knife, so I ran and ran and finally found this safe place."
"The finger-severing knife is a prop to help me go back," he explained considerately.
"I'm sorry," Malu apologized somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's just a small matter. It's just a good thing that I can still help you, right? Hehe," Patch smiled, and these words made Malu have a better impression of him.
The two of them took a short break in the cave, chatting casually. At this time, Patch suddenly pointed at a box and said:
"I see you've been looking at the box over there. To tell you the truth, I picked up some props on the way and put them in there. Do you want to take some?"
"Ah? This is not good," Malu waved her hands.
"It's okay, just take some. I can't take everything away," Patch urged with a smile, "Go and have a look."
Malu had no choice but to do as she was told. She slowly pushed open the box, looking a little nervous.
Nothing happened.
There are indeed quite a few props inside, nothing more than some moss balls, green flowers and plants, potions and so on.
"call"
Malu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what she was so nervous about. Was she afraid that Patch would harm her?
She picked up some props at random. Although they were not valuable, they made her feel completely relieved about Patch.
Being willing to share spoils means being friends with each other. This is the unspoken rule among adventurers.
"Now that we've rested enough, shall we set off?" Malu couldn't wait to find her teammates.
"Wait," Patch suddenly said:
"I think I left something over there, can you help me check it out?"
He was pointing in the direction of the cliff.
"It fell down? It's impossible to bring it up again." Although Malu was surprised, she still walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down out of trust in Patch.
There was a fog below and I couldn't see clearly what was there, but there were faint spots of light flickering.
"It seems like there really is something there. Let me try to get it up!"
She just said, however.
Patch's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"No, thank you so much for helping me, you little idiot."
"Bang!"
A huge force came from behind Malu. She had already leaned half of her body out of the cliff, and now she could no longer maintain her balance!
“Aaaaaah!”
At the moment she fell off the cliff, she saw Patch grinning.
Why did you kick me? Aren't we companions?
Until she fell to her death, Malu still couldn't figure it out, but she did understand one thing:
Patch! If I see you again, I will give you a good slap in the face!
Malu's experience is not an isolated case.
On this day, all adventurers who met the three conditions of arriving at the Fran Fortress, being invaded by hunters, and summoning Pachi suffered the same treatment.
The next day, Patch's wanted poster was posted in the Adventurer's Guild.
