Chapter 40: Surprise attack
"May I know what you're doing?" Matt asked with a frown. Isla and the rest of the group were surprised to see so many comrades appear all over the place and a guy attacking their leader from the front.
"What the hell are you doing? It's us!" they shouted angrily.
That surprised Caspian, who raised his arm to stop them and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Matt. We're a little nervous and thought you were devourers. We just ran into a group and had to run from them because they were so strong." He spoke.
Matt's team members then breathed a sigh of relief that this was the case. They were nervous, thinking these guys might have fallen after a weird spell.
Seeing that it was just a mistake made them sigh in relief.
Matt just frowned, though.
'A mix-up, eh.' Matt thought with a small smile. Clearly, he didn't believe this guy at all, but he still nodded at him and walked over to him to give him a little tap on the shoulder.
"Be careful, man. If the leader is nervous, he'll make the whole team make mistakes. Don't fall into this battle." Matt said and walked past him. At the same time, he called his group to follow closely behind him.
Caspian didn't say anything else; he just gave him a sidelong glance and continued.
"Matt, that guy is a little strange." Isla said a while after they had the encounter with Caspian.
No matter how much she thought about it, it was strange.
How could they possibly have gotten confused? They were wearing their heads up!
It's impossible to mistake Matt's head for a devourer's.
Matt naturally knew that, so he stroked her head like a little girl.
"True, that guy seems to be planning something. But don't worry, it's not important right now. Besides, we have company." Matt said, smiling as he looked up.
Just at those moments, several devourers appeared above them.
These looked a little different.
Matt stared at them.
'The stronger I get, I feel like I can sense more and more of people's power. Just as I can accurately guess the strength of the weak, of these guys who are a bit stronger, I can do it now, too. It's weird; Alice has never told me about that before.' Matt thought with a frown, although he was happy about this.
Thanks to that, he could guess who would be problematic for his group.
This group was a little small. It only had 15 devourers, but they were pretty strong.
As soon as he heard the scream, Matt noticed what was happening and bent his body slightly to the right.
Just at that moment, a dagger stabbed firmly into his right arm, and the force of the impact sent him flying backward. Still, he would not be attacked in such a way and would not defend himself.
Just as the dagger hit his right arm, he reached out with his left arm and firmly grabbed the guy attacking him, so when he was sent flying backward, he took him with him, and they both fell rolling on the ground.
Matt quickly recovered and jumped into the air, pouncing on his enemy.
The latter did not expect to be pulled like that, so he was a little slower. Still, he defended himself in time, and the impact sent them both backward.
Still, they recovered quickly. The guy was going to escape, but Matt wouldn't let him easily.
He struggled face-to-face with him.
After several fists, Matt frowned.
'What the hell? Why do I feel like I'm stronger than him, but I can't beat him?' Matt thought in shock and then looked at his arm.
'Poison?' He thought as he saw the green liquid on his arm. This made him frown.
Still, when he looked again, the guy was already fleeing the scene.
Matt would not allow such a thing to happen.
An enemy was going to attack him and leave without knowing his identity? He must be dreaming!
So, he disappeared from his spot, appearing above the guy, and gave him a powerful punch in the back.
Even so, the timing coincided with the increase in speed on the part of the guy in front of him, so he ended up pushing him hard toward his destination.
Soon, the figure that was covered in a black robe that covered him completely disappeared into the trees.
Matt frowned at seeing him like that but had to focus his attention on the Devourer that had risen and was attacking him.
In addition, an intense pain hit him in the arm.
"Isla, let's finish this quickly!" he shouted when he saw this and stopped playing with this guy.
He immediately lunged at him, giving him several powerful blows using all his tactics. The Devourer didn't even know how he died, but an attack of magic hit him again and broke his bones.
Even so, shortly after that, Matt fell to the ground while holding his arm.
He did not hesitate to grab his weapon to cut himself in several areas of his arm and shoulder, causing blood mixed with a green liquid to ooze out of the wounds. At the same time, he swallowed an antidote and some more medicine.
'The poison is weak but a bit special. It makes me weaker as time goes on. And the attacker... Dirty bastard, so what you're looking for is to kill me, Caspian White.' Matt thought with a growing rage inside him.
