Jack slammed onto a hut and bounced off it. He barely managed to keep his footing when he touched the ground. Suddenly a barrage of arrows came raining from the sky. Jack was taken by surprise, but he still reflexively lifted up his staff which still had the Magic Shield on. The shield however couldn't protect all his body parts, its coverage area was not large enough. There were ten arrows coming down on him, he blocked three, while suffered the hit from two arrows, the remaining five punctured around the ground closed to him. He did not need to take a look to know this was the Lizardman Archer's doing. The Lizardman Chief used the time that Jack was dealing with the arrows to get closed to him. It swinged its heavy axe towards Jack once it came into melee range. Jack didn't intend to tussle with the Lizardman Chief at the moment. He jumped back to avoid the blow. When he landed, he was just about to turn around and ran again when he heard cracking sound from behind him. He looked back and saw the ground was opening up as green vines came out from it. The damn Shaman again! Jack uttered in his mind. He immediately did a backflip and swinged his sword at the same time. It cut the vines that were lashing at him. Jack glanced at his radar to find out the position of the Shaman, it must had gotten closed in order to cast the vine spell. He made his way to the Shaman's position while utilizing his speed to evade Lizardman's Chief frenzy attacks. Good thing was that red glow in its eyes had gone out, its speed seemed to be decreasing slightly. Jack intended to exploit this window before it used that enhancing roar again. When the Lizardman Shaman came into view, Jack immediately ran towards it. It chanted a spell and the ground between it and Jack cracked and numerous vines came out again. It was like a long green carpet extending from Jack to the Shaman, but this green carpet was obviously not the welcoming sort. The Lizardman Archer used another skill at this time. Its hand became a blur and shot three swift arrows from its bow consecutively. Jack sneered, "you think that going to save you?" He used Charge. The sudden speed burst of the Charge made the three arrows coming towards him missed completely. He cut through the vines like knife through butter. All the vines that got in his way were sliced to pieces from the Charge damaging effect. They did not even manage to slow down Jack's speed by a bit. The Charge this time hit the Shaman as it was positioned much closer than last time. It took out another one hundred HP from the Shaman's health bar. The life bar above it showed it to be around thirty percent left. Jack made a fast Inspect with his monocle and found out the HP of the Lizardman's Shaman had only eight hundred sixty-six HP left. He sent his past games' signature move of triple swift slashes and took out another chunk of health. The Lizardman Chief had only used his Leap Strike a few moment ago, and with its buff gone, its running speed was also decreased. It was trying to come to the Lizardman Shaman's rescue but it was helpless to watch Jack continued his slashes while it still making its way over. The Shaman tried to break away futilely while defending itself as best as possible using its staff, but Jack's speed of attacks obviously outclassed its own. The Lizardman Archer tried to disrupt Jack, but Jack either adjust his position to use the Shaman's body to block the arrow or simply ignoring the arrow attacks. The damage from normal arrow attack was after all, not significant due to his rare armor's ability that decreased thirty percent of range attack. When the Lizardman Chief got close, Jack let the Lizardman Shaman go. He fired a Mana Bullet at the Chief. The Lizardman Chief use its tomahawk axe and chopped at the Bullet, destroying it, but the impact also halted its advance. Jack looked at the fleeing Lizardman Shaman, it was running panicky for its life. Its back was towards Jack.
