Chapter 782: Eerie Giggle
Villain Ch 782. Eerie Giggle
Arcana’s curiosity about Allen’s prowess in battle wasn’t easily quelled. He wanted to understand what made Allen so exceptional, especially in the face of such formidable foes. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to Allen’s abilities than met the eye.
"Yeah, I remember that," Arcana began, addressing Allen directly. "But that doesn’t explain your ability and how you can deal with those monsters so easily. You’re alone out there, and Greatest Healer only brings out a bit of his buff skill to support you.
Your barrier only breaks once, while ours broke three times." The repeated breaches of their barriers highlighted the stark difference in their experiences during the battle.
Red_King chimed in, adding to Arcana’s observation. "Four times," he corrected, prompting Arcana to nod in agreement.
"Four times," Arcana repeated in an emphasized tone. He turned to Azura, seeking confirmation from their fellow fighter. "Not to mention Valkyrie also tried to copy you, but she couldn’t," he said, referencing their teammate’s failed attempt to emulate Allen’s success.
Allen took a moment to exhale, gathering his thoughts before responding. "You see, being a lone fighter really affected me," he explained, his voice calm and measured. "When I go hunting alone, I can’t rely on anyone but myself, and in some cases, I can only utilize my own resources and adapt my fighting style to my opponent."
His words resonated with the group, prompting them to consider the unique challenges faced by a solo fighter. While their reliance on teamwork had its advantages, Allen’s ability to thrive in isolation showcased a different kind of strength—one born out of necessity and honed through countless battles fought alone.
Bored Hunter’s admission elicited a nod of understanding from his companions. "Makes sense. That’s what a solo player should do," he hummed, acknowledging the validity of Allen’s approach.
Navigating the uncharted territory proved to be a daunting task, fraught with uncertainty and trepidation. Without the aid of a detailed map, they found themselves constantly on edge, never knowing what dangers awaited them around the next corner.
As the group trudged through the dense undergrowth of the forest, their senses alert to the slightest hint of danger, a sudden sound pierced the eerie silence. It was a sound that seemed out of place in the haunting atmosphere of the Haunted Forest—a child’s laughter, light and carefree, yet tinged with an unsettling undertone.
The laughter echoed through the mist-shrouded trees, sending a chill down their spines. Despite its innocent timbre, there was something decidedly ominous about the sound, a sense of foreboding that hung heavy in the air.
Their footsteps faltered as they exchanged wary glances, the tension palpable among them. Arcana was the first to voice his concerns. "Did you hear that?" he asked, his voice low and cautious.
Red_King nodded grimly, his jaw clenched in apprehension. "Yeah, I heard it, and I don’t like it," he admitted, his grip tightening on the hilt of his sword.
Azura voiced her own apprehension. "I’ve never heard of any friendly monster that laughs like that," she remarked, her voice tinged with unease.
Bored Hunter shuddered involuntarily, memories of past encounters with sinister creatures flooding his mind. "This reminds me of the emperor," he muttered, his tone hushed with dread.
Father^Alex nodded solemnly in agreement. "Believe me, the emperor’s voice is far scarier than this," he added, his voice tinged with a hint of fear.
Allen, ever composed and level-headed, sought to reassure his team, though a faint smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. "Just prepare yourselves for the new monster," he advised, his tone calm and collected. "She shouldn’t be much further from here."
