16 Surprise Motherfucker!

'I can't believe she actually took the time to find another player and come back for me. This is ridiculous!' Ryan thought to himself as he ran for his life. 

What crime did he even commit? He did not want to team up with a stranger. Did that really require such a disproportionate response?

But, in all honesty, he also wasn't all that surprised. He had already experienced a lot of things in life like this. At the lowest point in his life, when he lost the use of half his body and his father, several people still kicked him. 

This was just the way the world worked. Most people took pleasure in kicking a dog while it was down. The woman who was chasing him was no exception to this rule. 

She wanted revenge because he had rejected her. She probably wanted to teach him a lesson for noticing her true colors despite her outward appearance.

And from the looks of it, she also had the power to get it as well. She actually brought with her a high-level player to deal with him a beginner player! Such an overkill!

Heh. Ryan smiled. Even if that was the case he did not plan to simply bend over and let himself get screwed. It might be an impossible situation but he was at least going to put up a fight and if not take down that player along with him.

Tak Tak Tak. He skipped over the rocks and the tree branches and continued running forward without stopping or turning back.

The only plus point Ryan had was that he had sensed them coming a mile away, so he was able to react in time and sort of form a rough plan about how to tackle this situation.

However, forming a plan was one thing, and executing it was an entirely different thing. 

Ryan could tell that the player was probably level 25 or higher because he was currently gaining on him with ease. If this continued on, he would be caught and killed in no time.

Before that could happen, he needed to reach the destination he had in mind which was nothing but the herd of boars he had seen a while back.

Ryan's plan was simple. He couldn't outrun this player and looking at his colorful gear, he probably had no way of defeating him. So he decided to go with the next best thing, lure him and trap him! For this, the herd of boars was the perfect target!

And he was almost there.

"Just a couple more seconds. I need to hold on." Ryan ran as fast as he could, physically pushing himself as much as possible. The player who was chasing him was barely a few feet away but the next second he arrived at the spot.

Now his plan actually had a chance to work!

Ryan immediately made a beeline to the group, especially near the tail end but without getting too close to them and definitely not aggroing them. 

However, once he crossed them, he immediately started moving closer to them from the other side, still making sure not to aggro the boars.

On the other hand, the guy who was chasing him didn't properly observe the surroundings. He seemed to be frustrated with Ryan as he directly chased him, heading right into the aggro range of the boars.

"Fuck!" Martin suddenly put the brakes. It did not help as it was already too late. All the boars glared at him with rage and fury. The entire herd turned toward him and started rearing their front legs, ready to pounce and attack.

"Damn it." Martin started sweating. Now he understood Ryan's ploy. The guy was aiming for this right from the beginning and hence had run away in a mad rush, trapping him with these boars.

These boars were in fact simply Level 5 and Level 6 boars and under normal conditions weren't that difficult to handle. After all, Martin was Level 30. 

But the problem right now was that he was completely exhausted! After chasing behind Ryan for so long, that too constantly running with his heavy tank gear, he only had 20% stamina left.

He quickly pulled up his inventory to see if he had any stamina potions left, but that was a dead end. They had just cleared a dungeon that morning and all of his potions were used up.

"God damn it. Am I really going to get killed by a fucking noob?" Martin cursed his bad luck. He did not care too much about one death but this was going to completely destroy his reputation in front of Sara.

He let out a sigh and seeing all the boars rush towards him with mad rage, he pretty much resigned to his bad luck when he suddenly remembered something important. That was right! He had that scroll!

Martin hurriedly opened his inventory again and took out a magic scroll. This was a common-tier scroll that had cost him 50 silver coins and he purchased it specifically for dealing with the third dungeon boss.

But now unexpectedly, it could help him out here. This scroll was the perfect answer to all of his problems!

Seeing Ryan grin at him, enjoying his miserable plight, Martin slowly curled his lips upward. "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! Take this reverse card!" Shouting loudly, he tore the scroll into two halves, thereby activating the magic.

[Divine Reflection]

Immediately, Martin began glowing with a bright light surrounding him. The boars who saw this unexpectedly stopped in their tracks. 

They seemed to look confused and the next second, something even more ridiculous happened. They turned around and all of their reddened eyes locked onto Ryan!
