Chapter 98

"Naive!" The dollmaker, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly flew up at that moment. Then, with a flick of her fingers, the arrows that were heading towards her lost their momentum and stopped in mid-air.

"Here's your return!" With a roar of anger, the dollmaker activated her ability, and the arrows that were originally aimed at her turned around and shot towards Zhou Tian.

"Pu..." Just as the attacks were about to hit Zhou Tian, several兽人 warriors suddenly rushed out and stood in front of him.

"Is this good? How many more monsters can you have to block my attacks? Even without controlling the monsters under your command, I can kill you with such attacks. The monsters that have died at my hands number in the tens of thousands, and while you are the most special among them, you are certainly not the strongest. The monsters in the past could not escape from my hands, and you will be no exception now." After saying this with confidence, the dollmaker immediately stood above Zhou Tian, staring at him with a condescending gaze.

"Is that so? Then..." Just as Zhou Tian was halfway through his sentence, several guards suddenly rushed out from the group of兽人 surrounding him. To the dollmaker's surprise, they leaped into the air and pulled her down.

"Trouble." Faced with this situation, the dollmaker was ready to counterattack, but as soon as she was about to act, the兽人 guards had already thrust their weapons into her body.

"These are fire-attribute weapons!" Sensing the changes in her body, the dollmaker, in a mix of shock and anger, swung her right hand and cut the兽人 guards who had injured her into two.

Although the兽人 guards who had injured the dollmaker all died at her hands, the damage they had inflicted did not disappear.

"You were too careless. Other monsters might not have noticed your abnormality, but I had already noticed your condition long ago. You might not be aware, but the Blood Moon Sect Leader once bestowed upon me a very useful skill. No matter how natural your behavior was, I could see the changes in your health through that skill and discover your true condition. If I had not made any preparations, I would not have acted so rashly. Dollmaker, you were too careless."

"The battle is not over yet!" Although Zhou Tian had said that, the dollmaker clearly did not admit defeat. After hearing Zhou Tian's words, she was not affected at all and struggled to fly up, intending to fight Zhou Tian again.

"I was indeed careless, but if you think a few fire-attribute weapons can defeat me, then you are underestimating me. Today, you will end up like the other monsters and die at my hands." In that one or two minutes, the dollmaker seemed to have recovered from her injuries to some extent. As she conversed with Zhou Tian, she gradually regained her usual domineering demeanor.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tian was not affected by the dollmaker's words at all. He casually glanced at her and said, "I have been waiting for the moment when your abilities are sealed. Now that the fire-attribute energy has not dissipated, you cannot use your abilities, right?"

"What do you mean?" The dollmaker's heart tightened upon hearing Zhou Tian's words. Before she could react, Zhou Tian's follow-up move appeared before her.

A large number of arrows were shot from the兽人 archers under Zhou Tian's command. Under the attack of nearly a hundred兽人 arrows, the dollmaker's expression changed.

The dollmaker had seen the power and attributes of the兽人 arrows. Normally, even if she were targeted by those arrows, she would not be too concerned. After all, while her ability had a weakness to fire, stopping a hundred arrows would not be a problem.

However, the issue now was that several fire-attribute weapons had been thrust into her body by the兽人 guards. Although the weapons could be pulled out, the fire-attribute energy remained in her body. Until she expelled that energy, her abilities, while not completely unusable, were far from their usual effectiveness. Facing a large number of arrows with tracking abilities, the dollmaker could no longer guarantee that she could avoid them all.

As a result...

No matter how unwilling the dollmaker was, given her current situation, it was difficult for her to escape such a lethal attack. Although she made an attempt to flee, she ultimately could not avoid the arrows. With a series of dull thuds, the dollmaker's body was soon pierced by the兽人 arrows.

A single兽人 arrow might not cause much damage to the dollmaker, but with hundreds of arrows piercing her body, no matter how low the damage, the cumulative effect made it impossible for her to ignore.

"I underestimated you a bit, but if you think this can defeat me, you are wrong. Up to you, eleven bosses who once ruled the beginner area have died at my hands. Your abilities were somewhat unexpected, but you cannot win against me."

"Trouble." If it were any other monster, hearing the dollmaker's words would at most be seen as a dying man's stubbornness. After all, she had already been beaten to such an extent, and there was no chance of a comeback.

However, Zhou Tian was a special existence. Because he had a skill that allowed him to see his opponent's health, he could not be deceived by appearances. Under the effect of his ability, the dollmaker's true condition was completely reflected in his eyes. Seeing the dollmaker's true condition, Zhou Tian's heart, which had been at ease, became tense again.

Zhou Tian did not expect that, even after being hit by a hundred arrows, the dollmaker had only lost less than half of her health. Realizing the implications of this, Zhou Tian could not help but be shocked.

Zhou Tian knew the dollmaker was strong, and it was precisely because of this that he had been patient. Even with all the preparations he had made, he had even resorted to ambush. According to his original plan, the dollmaker should have been defeated by now. But in reality, his preparations had only caused her some injuries. This realization naturally made Zhou Tian feel anxious.

The stronger the dollmaker, the greater the pressure Zhou Tian faced. Now that her strength far exceeded his expectations, Zhou Tian could very well die if he made a mistake.
