Athena in Tower Defense Game! [LitRPG]

0064 – Bounced Back!

"Big World" took a deep breath, steadied herself, and decided to continue forward. But soon, that sense of being locked on to overwhelmed her once again.

In this moment, she burst out with an unprecedented speed, her body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow. At the same time, she felt a stabbing pain emanating from the wound on her shoulder, but she gritted her teeth, enduring the agony, and rolled to the side next to a rock.

The rock happened to cover her figure, but she didn't feel relaxed in the slightest.

Another silver arrow firmly pierced the ground where she had just been, deeply embedding itself underground.

Just when she had decided to face whatever lay ahead, now she wanted to escape!

What made her feel unwilling was that she had finally hooked one, and their strength was considerable. She even had [ Two Fool ] within her control.

She had almost succeeded. She was so close to making a breakthrough in the rankings!

Not far ahead was the trap she had set up, but while running, she noticed a player. Thinking that if she could take down two at once, she could save even more, she greedily turned back.

Wasn't that player always hiding? How could his strength be so strong! "Big World" felt bitter in her heart, more than anything, she felt unwilling, unwilling to be ended here.

Athena didn't care about her petty thoughts, only amazed at this person's speed. Presumably, they had hidden their true strength before, planning to lure others in.

They probably wouldn't be so easy to deal with; one or two arrows wouldn't kill them.

She breathed out, her gaze sharply focused on the opposite rock. Activating her skill 'Attachment', she fired the Arrow of Spacebreaking, directly shattering the rock on the opposite side. Unfortunately, there was no one behind the rock.

Having just used a short-range teleportation, "Big World" felt exhausted, looking at the shattered rock in the distance, shocked by the opponent's strength, and also feeling a surge of fear.

Equally shocked by this arrow were [ Black Planet ] and the black phosphorus snake, who had come rushing over.

With its excellent vision, the black phosphorus snake immediately spotted Athena in the distance. Then, looking at the shattered rock beside it, unpleasant memories surfaced again. It shrank back and hid behind [ Black Planet ].

There were faint bloodstains on [ Black Planet ]'s white T-shirt. He knew there was danger ahead, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.

Just as he hesitated whether to give up chasing "Big World", he saw the person next to him, who had just run ahead of them, "Big World".

At first, he was surprised, but before he had time to think about why the other person suddenly appeared here, he reacted. The black phosphorus snake took the initiative to attack, and he also took out his broadsword to prepare for battle.

Who would have known that "Big World", relying on her excellent speed, had been evading them and not engaging in battle. At the same time, she raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, continuously pleading for mercy.

"Let's stop fighting for now. Did you notice the person ahead? If we don't take her down first, both of us might end up dead here. Let's put aside our grievances for now. We can't let others take advantage of us, can we?"

"In a moment, we both rush up together. Whoever manages to escape, even if it's just luck, what do you say?"

"Hurry up, the time for hiding is about to expire!"

"Big World" seemed very anxious, but luckily, she succeeded in the end.

Teammate is a very precious skill. "Big World" wouldn't want to use this skill under normal circumstances. But she had no choice now. She only hoped to use this fool to distract the enemy and gain a chance for herself.

She even took out the Concealment Scroll she had kept in reserve.

Athena looked at the person who had suddenly disappeared behind the rock, feeling that things had become a bit tricky. Not only had "Big World" disappeared, but even the black phosphorus snake and [ Black Planet ] had disappeared at the same time.

Changing her Moonlight Bow and Arrow into the Black Abyss Axe, she prepared for close combat. Mikmik had already circled ahead, observing everywhere, searching for the enemy's trace.

"Big World" said to [ Black Planet ], "You go distract the enemy, and I'll take the opportunity to move!"

[ Black Planet ] felt a strange sensation spreading in his mind, as if he and the other party were old comrades in arms who had fought side by side for many years. Without thinking, he nodded in agreement, feeling that the other party wouldn't harm him.

The black phosphorus snake on the ground was very puzzled. Just now, its owner was planning to kill this woman. How did they suddenly become partners in the blink of an eye? With its tiny brain, it couldn't understand.

In fact, due to the contract, it couldn't even resist [ Black Planet ]'s orders.

It spat out its tongue in dissatisfaction. Actually, its fear of Athena still lingered in its body. But it preferred to believe in its master. Perhaps the master could avenge it!

The hidden light curtain that had appeared on the open ground suddenly disappeared. Athena and Mikmik immediately noticed the appearance of the two people and the snake. Without much ado, they charged straight at them.

"Big World" didn't have time to consider much. She used her rare speed to flee, completely exposing her back.

At the same time, she entrusted her rear to [ Black Planet ], not because of trust in the other party, but trust in her own skills.

Athena watched "Big World" fleeing. Since the other party had intentions against her, enmity had already formed. So she naturally wouldn't let the other party leave easily. Even if the opponent didn't die today, they would be severely injured.

She was about to pursue, but was blocked by [ Black Planet ] and the black phosphorus snake. Mikmik looked down on this defeated subordinate and the man who had suddenly appeared and went to chase after "Big World".

Athena emanated a chill, truly intending to kill [ Black Planet ] now.

But time was of the essence! Her Black Abyss Axe swung, leaving behind a beautiful trajectory. The black phosphorus snake pounced at her like lightning, but she easily dodged, then turned around and swung the axe backhandedly towards the snake. With a crisp sound, the hard scales of the black phosphorus snake shattered, and scales flew everywhere.

Without hesitation, she charged towards [ Black Planet ] ahead. Holding a sharp broadsword, [ Black Planet ], once a standard martial artist from China, hadn't forgotten his skills since coming here. As the blade clashed with the axe, this seemingly ordinary broadsword surprisingly blocked the Black Abyss Axe.

The black phosphorus snake, ignoring its own injuries, once again pounced at Athena, who was caught between two enemies.

She crouched down, delivering a horizontal kick towards the opponent's legs. The force made the opponent stagger. Athena then stood up and deflected the opponent's broadsword, slashing directly towards the opponent's face.

But at that moment, the black phosphorus snake lunged forward, intending to bite Athena's arms. She dodged sideways, spun around, and the axe descended without slowing down.

The victory was decided!

It was too late...

But a special barrier bounced Athena's Black Abyss Axe away!
