Chapter 92: Ch:92 Breaking Free

A deep warmth bloomed low in Belinda’s belly—a sensation she hadn’t felt in over a decade. It stirred her mind and body alike, trembling with raw, insistent hunger.

’Mm… this feeling, this warm feeling… where has it been all these years? But why… why my body suddenly become so sexually aroused at a time like this?’ she wondered.

*BZZ! BOOM!*

’Fuck, not here… it’s not the right time. I’ve to finish that boss with Master before his mana runs out,’ Daniel thought, glancing quickly over his shoulder.

He yanked his hand back and stood beside her, forcing his face to stay calm as he began charging another thunderbolt in his palm.

Meanwhile, Belinda paused for a second before jerking back to her senses.

’Fuck, what am I even thinking. I’ve to assist Marco,’ she thought, stepping forward.

In the center, the guard dodged its normal attacks with precise steps and rolls, the Boss’s heavy slams shaking the ground as he read its movements and kept taunting it over and over.

Taunting is a special ability unique to tank users. It suppresses the boss’s intelligence, preventing it from identifying real threats and forcing it to retarget the tank instead.

*BZZ! BOOM!*

“Status,” Daniel whispered.

*BANG!*

The guard was sent rolling back a little as the boss caught him with a powerful swipe.

For a moment, the taunting effect broke as the guard recovered from the blow; the boss scanned the area with its senses and locked onto the biggest threat.

“BHAA… KHAA!!”

It roared loudly. Suddenly, vines shot up from their feet with such speed that the shamans and others had no time to react—only Marco moved at the last moment.

“Damn it, these vines are too tough to break,” Daniel muttered, struggling against them.

The vines were thick and dark green, wrapping around their arms and legs, holding them in place and leaving them unable to move. The guard was ensnared as well, pinned firmly to the ground.

“Agh, these damn vines,” Bernard muttered, straining with raw physical power to break them.

The young shamans struggled to rip the vines away, while Belinda’s palms glowed as she channeled her magic against them—but it barely made a dent.

Everyone struggled to break free.

The boss advanced toward the armored guard, its fists clenched as it prepared another devastating smash.

Marco sensed its killing intent and hurled thunderbolt after thunderbolt at it, but the relentless strikes only slowed the creature—they didn’t stop it.

*BZZ! BOOM! BOOM!*

In the meantime, two trees were ripped from the ground and hurled at Belinda with deadly precision—on a straight path that could strike Daniel as well.

Marco panicked. The guard was seconds away from being crushed like a tomato, and the uprooted tree was hurtling toward their healer. He couldn’t save both at the same time.

“Shit, not good,” Marco muttered, as he sprinted toward the boss. ’I have to strike its weakest point or—”

Marco fired another thunderbolt at the ground beneath its legs, then used the explosion to propel himself forward, closing the distance in an instant.

Meanwhile, Belinda raised her sand walls in a square, three layers thick on each side. But for some reason, she wasn’t sure they would be enough to absorb the impact.

Daniel huddled in the corner inside Belinda’s sand wall. Suddenly, an idea snapped into his mind.

’Wait, the pouch… my dagger,’ he thought, quickly reaching into his pocket.

…

Outside, the shamans watched as the guard struggled to cut through the vines with its spear, strike after strike, while the boss loomed, ready to smash it.

They stopped pulling the vines and unleashed a rain of thunder, trying to slow the beast as much as they could.

But even that wasn’t enough to force the boss to retreat.

’If only I can somehow reach its head!’ Marco thought, charging up another thunderbolt.

*WHOOOSH*

*BOOM!*

“Aaaah!” the guard screamed.

The boss slammed its hand onto the ground, but to his surprise, the guard wasn’t there.

Before it could complete half its strike, Marco unleashed a thunderbolt beside the guard, blasting the spot to force him into a tumble.

The lightning spread into a cone shape on collision, dealing serious damage to the guard—but for Marco, it was the only option he could come up with in that critical moment.

—

Inside the sand wall, Daniel moved swiftly, slicing through the rough vines as if they were butter. He shoved his dagger back and dashed toward Belinda.

She froze, shocked that Daniel had chosen to help her fight the vines swirling at her feet with his raw strength. Yet there was no sign of them tearing.

Daniel waited for her to look away, his eyes fixed on her every movement.

“It’s no use, young shaman,” Belinda said, turning to focus on reinforcing the sand walls.

She added a fourth layer to the sand walls. But the moment she looked away, Daniel swiftly pulled his dagger and sliced through the vines at her feet—so fast she didn’t even feel it.

Suddenly, the tree pierced through all the layers of her sand wall like a lance. But as it passed through, it lost momentum and began to slow, teetering above her.

“Hmph!” Daniel grunted, wrapping his arms around her and diving to the ground, both of them landing face down.

“Aaa,” she screamed instinctively.

*Thud*

She hadn’t even processed what had just happened when another tree slammed through her sand wall, hurtling toward her.

But before it could crush her, Daniel swiftly slid his arms around her back, twisted her body, and rolled them both to safety.

She lay on the ground, hands motionless, eyes squinting, while Daniel hovered above her, arms positioned near her shoulders.

But as the tree hit the ground, its thick branches swept diagonally across Daniel’s back, forcing him to stumble—and he crashed into Belinda, colliding in an accidental kiss.”

*SMOOOCH*
