Chapter 106: Unmoving
Chapter 106: Unmoving
Rain was about to leave, but then he remembered that the opponent used a heavy hammer and seemed to have thought of something. He approached the two halves of the Giant Hammer Man's corpse and began searching.
Soon, Rain found a small, thin booklet in addition to a lightweight bag of coins.
This caused Rain to pause, thinking to himself, "Lately, everyone I've encountered seems to be a diary writer." Upon opening it, he realized that he had misunderstood the Heavy Hammer Man; the opponent was actually a serious researcher of hammer techniques.
The booklet in his hand was a detailed record of the time when the Heavy Hammer Man, in his youth, sought guidance from a hammer technique master named Tokkar, titled "Tokkar's Hammer Technique Outline."
Rain secretly nodded to himself, feeling pleased that his hard work in killing the enemy had paid off.
"I have the core skill 'Hammer Mastery,' but I've been unable to use it due to the lack of a suitable hammer technique. Finally, I've found a battle technique book about hammers! Excellent!"
However, as Rain glanced at the heavy hammer that he had cut in half, his lips twitched, and he shook his head helplessly.
The intense pain in his muscles, a side effect of using his full power, began to manifest. It felt like encountering a dormant volcano suddenly erupting or a slumbering dragon awakening. His chest swelled, almost bursting out of his slightly loose knight breastplate, and his neck muscles bulged with veins, enlarging significantly.
The last person, clad in leather armor, was an archer, keeping a close eye on them.
"Not yet, let's stick to the plan. We'll focus on their archer first and see if we can rescue the children in the meantime."
There were two remaining Plate Armor-clad Knight Acolytes on the other side, one wielding a sword and shield, and the other gripping a heavy chain hammer.
In an instant, Rain felt the numbness, soreness, and pain throughout his body disappear.
The Chainhammer Man raised his heavy chain hammer high, his face twisted with malice, his eyes fixed on Rain's knight helmet, and with a mighty heave, he brought the hammer down.
"Hmm, I'll hold him off first. You two flank him from the sides. After we deal with the Black Leather Dog, we'll surround and finish him off," the Swordsman thought for a moment before nodding.
Rain turned to Matteo and said, "I'll draw their attention by going forward. Unless something unexpected happens, they'll all come after me, except for the archer. That's when you can rescue the children."
Rain signaled the others to attack, but the Swordsman cautiously held his shield in defense, wielding his knight's longsword with his right hand and thrusting it towards Rain.
Rain added a point to his Constitution, reaching 13 points, making it his strongest attribute at the moment.
The Hand-and-a-Half Sword man was the most vicious, thrusting his sword at Rain's visor's cross-shaped gap, aiming to blind Rain and pierce his brain, a deadly strike.
In this situation, their side would be at a disadvantage.

Before Matteo and the others could voice their objections, Rain calmly walked forward. His composure and confidence were palpable.
He was confident that even if he was hit, he could smash the plate helmet with a single strike.
In fact, they didn't know what to think if they knew that Rain had taken down the Hammer Man in just ten seconds and spent a full fifty seconds cleaning up the battlefield. "Cough, they're not as strong as you imagine. Although they have the strength of Knight Acolytes, their hammer speed is too slow. I seized the opportunity and exploited their weakness with a single strike."
However, this saved Rain the effort of tracking them down.
The Curved Sword man aimed at Rain's unprotected arm, intending to sever it.
Rain noticed everyone's intense gaze upon him and felt the need to explain.
Keff and the other Night Watchmen were hanging back, observing the enemy's caravan from a distance, not rushing into the attack. The other four men wore chainmail and wielded one-handed hammers, one-handed axes, curved swords, and hand-and-a-half swords.
"Perfect, I've never tried my level 2 Roar Strike before."
The archer prepared to shoot at Rain's unprotected arm, but the Swordsman stopped him.
Absurd!
It turned out that except for the Swordsman and Chainhammer Man, the others were all in chainmail. They couldn't completely ignore the arrows of the Night Watch's elite.
Rain's appearance had injected a boost of confidence into Matteo and the others.
"By the way, take out that archer too!"
"Wait!" The Swordsman raised his hand.
"He's daring to come forward alone, likely intending to draw us away from the chariot and engage in close combat. His goal is probably to rescue the demonic children in the chariot."
"Is Rain being too reckless?" one of the Night Watch's elite frowned upon seeing Rain's current situation, facing off against six opponents.
The Swordsman quickly understood why Rain had decided to go alone.
Although they had surrounded Rain, he didn't feel trapped.
"Impossible!" The Chainhammer Man slammed his heavy chain hammer onto the ground, cursing.
"Charge!"
The Axe Man aimed for the gap between Rain's helmet and plate armor, swiftly delivering a powerful overhead chop, intending to behead Rain.
They couldn't afford to delay any longer. If they took too long, even if they defeated this opponent, the demonic children would be rescued, and they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to Lord Mort.
In other words, even if the six opponents were mere scarecrows, and Rain could position them however he wanted, he couldn't devise a better formation.
The Swordsman noticed the Night Watchmen slowly moving towards the two chariots, and his expression turned fierce.
"Go!"
They were well aware of their leader, 'Hammer' Keff's strength, which ranked high even among the Wild Brothers. But their leader hadn't returned, and this short man had.
The Night Watchmen grew concerned.
"Yes! Those two in plate armor are probably Knight Acolytes!"
But their fears intensified as the short man, half a head shorter than them, suddenly exuded a strong sense of danger, setting off alarm bells in their minds.
"Haaah!!!"
A roar akin to a dragon's bellow echoed in their ears.
Instantly, the six men, weapons at the ready, froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
Time stood still.
