Chapter 93: Extraordinary Ingredient
Chapter 93: Extraordinary Ingredient
If these two managed to escape, it would be a severe blow to the morale of the Night Watchman Elite, who were still fighting valiantly.
After all, everyone would think, "Damn, I'm fighting for my life, and these two bastards ran away."
Once morale is lost, it might be impossible for Hamilton to turn the tide, no matter how hard he tries.
However, just as Rain was about to launch an attack, Hamilton, a formal Knight, gave everyone a lesson in the true strength of a formal Knight. With his sword and shield in hand, Hamilton swiftly charged towards the Mountain Borer.
Upon seeing the 'little guy' rushing towards it again, the Stone Beast immediately focused its attention on Hamilton, swinging its massive two-meter-long stone hammer towards him.
Since there was no need to rescue anyone this time, Hamilton responded to the Stone Beast's hammer attack differently.
Instead of retreating, Hamilton advanced, dodging the hammer's head, the most powerful part of the blow, and blocking the hammer's handle with his shield.
He successfully blocked the Stone Beast's attack! Simultaneously, Hamilton roared, parried the giant hammer with his shield, and then slashed horizontally with his longsword towards the Stone Beast's thick neck.
"Bang!"
Hamilton was knocked back again.
Suspended in mid-air, Rain silently chanted "Power Burst," and with a powerful thrust of his abdomen, he brought his legs together and kicked the back of the Stone Beast's head with all his might. With a strength of 22 points, his kick surpassed even that of Hamilton, a formal Knight, and was more powerful than the full force of a ferocious werewolf.
Rain had tested Rain's strength and knew that Rain was not a formal Knight.
Unfortunately, the kick missed, and the Stone Beast was not seriously injured.
So, when the Stone Beast saw a large mass of pale green liquid rushing towards it, it quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
But soon, Rain realized that the Stone Beast probably noticed the balance of power tilting in favor of the Night Watchmen, so it changed its original escape plan to a 'icing on the cake' move.
After all, knocking down and killing are two different things.
This stunned the Stone Beast for a moment, as it couldn't believe it was possible since it hadn't even obtained the hammer yet.
"Ding!"
Rain slashed down heavily on the Stone Beast's right hand.
This time, Hamilton struggled to hold on, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Clang!"
After muttering a few words, Hamilton took out a pale yellow leather scroll from his pocket.
The Stone Beast roared in pain, clearly feeling the sting of the attack.
Moreover, from the Stone Beast's expression of pain, it was evident that the scroll was of considerable value.
"But why did this guy only use it now?"
Hamilton cursed under his breath, "An apprentice wizard disguised as a bard? A bunch of self-serving elitists!"
The Night Watchmen watched this scene with flushed faces, filled with excitement, almost wanting to applaud.
The Stone Beast's head was decapitated!
Immediately after, Hamilton quickly moved towards the Stone Beast.
With the Stone Beast's landing point as the center, an area with a diameter of about three meters had cracked and sunk by over ten centimeters, and various rocks and dirt clumps were thrown into the air, reaching a height of more than one meter.
This sight caused Rain's pupils to constrict.
However, just as the Night Watchmen were exclaiming in surprise, a muscular 'little guy' appeared, wielding a gigantic stone hammer that was taller than his own height, and delivering a powerful blow to the Stone Beast's head.
At this moment, Rain realized that the Stone Beast might not be an ordinary creature but rather a silicon-based or elemental life form.
Unaware, the Stone Beast was hit by the hammer and stumbled back three steps.
The Stone Beast seemed to have sensed the unusual energy fluctuations early on and kept glancing in Endry's direction.
"Bang!"
Hamilton's eyes widened in amazement.
"Leap Strike!!"
The Stone Beast stomped down with its foot.
Remember, Rain is one of their Night Watchmen.
"Why didn't you inform us in advance about using such a valuable magic scroll? It's so annoying!"
The Stone Beast, now clearly angrier, lifted its right foot high and began to charge, preparing to unleash the powerful stomp it had used earlier.
"Leap Strike!"
A large mass of pale green liquid with a pungent stench appeared abruptly in front of Endry.
The pale green liquid hit the tunnel wall and began to corrode it with a sizzling sound.
Rain's steps seemed slow but were actually fast, as he constantly adjusted his footing to maintain his position directly behind the constantly moving Stone Beast.
However, Hamilton seemed to have a vague understanding of Rain's plan and immediately shouted, "Keep throwing nets and pulling ropes!"
Endry was so furious that he almost started pounding his chest in frustration. Rain thought for a moment and instead of immediately drawing his fine steel greatsword, he adjusted his position, circled behind the Stone Beast, seized the opportunity, and charged forward.
The Stone Beast wielded the giant hammer with surprising ease and less force than expected, but its power was no less formidable.
Endry's face contorted as if he was struggling to control the stench liquid, which rushed towards the Stone Beast.
A cloud of dust rose from the ground.
With the core skill 'Power Burst' boosting his strength, Rain's blow to the relatively 'small' fingers of the Stone Beast was devastating.
Furthermore, the attack landed on the back of the Stone Beast's head.
"Bang!"
After dodging the Stone Beast's attack, Hamilton kicked off with his right leg, swiftly returned with his sword and shield, and re-engaged the Stone Beast in combat.
There was no blood or any other fluid flowing from the cut, and the innermost and outermost layers of the Stone Beast's body seemed to be made of different types of rock.
Decapitation successful!
But Hamilton was a Knight-level powerhouse, far beyond the capabilities of those three bounty hunters.
"Bang!"

"Is this...a Mystical Side Energy ability?"
There was no other choice; this was the aftermath of unleashing his 'Power Surge' at full strength. At this moment, Rain's muscles ached all over, and his combat power was greatly weakened.
So, all the Night Watchmen gritted their teeth and began to pull on the ropes together, attempting to disrupt the Mountain Borer's movements and hinder its actions.
"Bang!"
"Boulder Stomp!"
The Stone Beast, with its entire body covered in rock, indeed possessed formidable defense. It withstood Rain's kick, shaking its slightly dizzy head and supporting itself with its hands on the ground, refusing to completely fall over.
Everyone's gaze focused on Rain, wondering how he would deal with the tough-skinned, immensely powerful Mountain Borer.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, Rain realized the other party's intention to gain control over the loot distribution. In an instant, numerous questions and speculations flashed through his mind.
"In that case, there's still a chance to take down this Mountain Borer."
Hamilton's pupils constricted, and he struck the Stone Beast's abdomen with a shield bash, using the recoil from the shield to rapidly retreat.
Soon, a hole the size of a washbasin appeared.
"Huh! I didn't expect the Sheriff of Shiny Gold Town to be so powerful." Endry's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
After continuous hammer blows, the Mountain Borer finally collapsed face-up with a loud thud!
Seizing the moment while the Mountain Borer was dazed, Rain delivered another powerful hammer blow to its head, instantly sending it into a dizzy state.
With each step back, the hard-packed ground of the mine shaft, compacted over the years, shattered under the Mountain Borer's weight, revealing its immense size and strength. But more importantly, Rain's heavy hammer blow demonstrated incredible force. It seemed that due to his proficiency with hammers, Rain struggled to grasp the handle of the gigantic stone hammer, yet he wielded it with a strange sense of familiarity.
Hamilton immediately understood why Rain had chosen to use it at this moment.
Rain tossed aside the stone hammer and drew his two-handed sword from the ground, charging directly at the Stone Beast's head.
"Bang!"
But as he chanted a bizarre incantation, the beast hide scroll suddenly emitted a pale green glow, then immediately turned to powder.
At this moment, Rain's strength seemed to surpass that of the Stone Beast, perhaps due to some innate talent.
From the outside, the scroll appeared similar to an ordinary parchment scroll.
The Stone Beast shook its head, then realized that because it was supporting itself with its hands, the massive stone hammer had rolled away. As it reached out to grab its weapon, sparks flew.
Rain's entire body became like a cannonball, charging directly at the back of the Stone Beast's head.
Rain leaped high, summoning all his strength, aiming at the deep sword mark on Hamilton's neck, and slashed down with all his might! "Crack!"
Hamilton, Endry, and the other Night Watchmen were momentarily baffled by Rain's action.
However, Hamilton instantly recognized the item Rain was using as the magic scroll 'Acid Missile.'
Rain had already rushed in from the side.
"Go!"
Even the Stone Beast felt the pain, as its fingers were connected to its heart.
Rain, on the other hand, used the reaction force to spin 360 degrees in the air before landing steadily.
Rain's kick sent the Mountain Borer stumbling forward, and its massive body almost fell to the ground.
Rain was drenched in sweat, his muscles returning to normal as he panted heavily, looking exhausted.
"Acid Missile Scroll?" Hamilton, still in the midst of battle, noticed the anomaly and glanced at Endry in surprise.
He would have to ask Rain about this later.
Hamilton managed to slash the Stone Beast's neck again, deepening the sword mark and revealing a different grayish-white color beneath the outer layer of rock.
This sight brightened Rain's eyes. Originally, he wasn't entirely confident in his plan, but at this moment, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place.
The next second, several hemp rope nets were torn apart by the Mountain Borer.
As Rain approached, he suddenly kicked off the ground, creating a small indentation in the hard dirt floor of the mine shaft.
The Mountain Borer suddenly saw its massive stone hammer falling towards it.
The Stone Beast roared in pain and anger.
Seeing their superior's formidable display, the Night Watchmen's morale soared.
"If we had acted sooner, the situation would have been completely different!"
"Crack!"
Although Rain didn't manage to break through the Stone Beast's rocky exterior with a single strike, he shattered numerous blocky rocks on its neck and left a deep sword mark several centimeters deep.
The sheer power of this attack even impressed Rain.
But Rain knew that the Stone Beast was merely stunned, not dead.
Hamilton couldn't react in time to assist; instead, he had to quickly move away from the Mountain Borer to avoid being splashed by the acid.
Four fingers were instantly severed by Rain.
However, Rain's action infuriated the Mountain Borer, and it yanked on the hemp ropes, toppling all the Night Watchmen holding them to the ground.
Even the crowd standing seven or eight meters away struggled to maintain their balance.
At this moment, the three-meter-tall Mountain Borer underwent a strange transformation. An earthen yellow glow gradually enveloped its entire body, then concentrated on its chest.
The earthen yellow glow, which initially covered the Stone Beast's entire body, gradually condensed to its upper half and then to its chest.
The glow intensified from pale yellow to a deep yellow, becoming more radiant than golden light.
"It's actually happening!" The bard Endry's eyes gleamed with greed.
