(290) Cyclone vs. Bettina
update icon Updated at 2025/10/3 8:10:12

With the declaration of death, Bettina in her green hunter suit released the arrow string she had been gripping tightly, and an arrow that connected to death shot out in an instant.

The moment Cyclone saw this action, he instinctively knew that the arrow had been shot. He immediately covered his head with both hands and lay flat on his horse's back.

This reaction, in fact, was quite ordinary. It was the speed of an average person, but fortunately, Bettina's hatred for Cyclone was exceptionally deep.

This cloud-piercing arrow, shot with a fatal blow, naturally hit the mark every time, but Cyclone, who happened to be lying down, managed to avoid it in the most correct way.

Although filled with jealousy, Bettina still realized that the biggest reason why she missed was because she had increased the difficulty of her target.

A moving head, within a hundred steps, Cyclone's head would retreat like a turtle.

"Wait!!!" Cyclone shouted while riding his horse.

"You're not really trying, are you?!?"

"Stop and guess!!!"

Just as Cyclone was about to turn around to look, he clearly saw the hand pulling the bowstring.

The second cloud-piercing arrow was coming, and in the moment Bettina released her hand, Cyclone immediately lay flat again.

Not dying, the arrow merely passed through his hair.

"Damn it!!!"

Although it missed, this time Bettina had aimed a little lower.

"Not bad for a cowardly turtle! Retreating so fast!"

"Put personal grudges aside for now! We should..."

By moving at high speed on his horse, Cyclone circled around in a different direction, increasing the distance between him and Bettina, but at the same time, moving further away from Yuna's direction.

Just as he was about to turn back towards Yuna, the horse turned, and Bettina's third arrow appeared.

"Now is the time to end you, you troublesome person!!!"

The arrow pierced through the horse's head, instantly killing it.

Due to the horse's fall, Cyclone rolled on the ground twice.

But he couldn't stop. Once Cyclone regained his balance, he ran forward with all his might.

Fortunately, before the fourth cloud-piercing arrow was shot, Cyclone ran behind a big tree to hide.

Just as he thought he had escaped Bettina's fourth arrow, an arrow stuck next to Cyclone's foot, right next to the big tree.

"Damn it!"

With Bettina's shout, the arrow that had stuck in the ground exploded instantly.

Wait, what?! Smoke?!

Lucky Cyclone escaped death once again. Actually, there really were arrows that could explode in this world, depending on the magic attribute of the magician.

Bettina, like Sonja, belonged to the wind attribute, not the fire attribute. That was the reason why Cyclone managed to save his life.

However, even so, it didn't mean Cyclone was safe. The explosion emitted a large amount of smoke, and with his vision obscured, Cyclone had no choice but to continue shouting.

"By attacking me like this, aren't you afraid of becoming the enemy of the people of Allen?"

No one answered, but Cyclone couldn't stop. The opponent must have known his location, while he didn't know anything.

Even if they didn't speak, the opponent had aimed at him. Right now, the only way to avoid the next attack was to grasp the moment the opponent struck.

"I am Allen's hero!"

"Bullshit! You, a cowardly turtle, dare to call yourself a hero in front of me!"

The voice was distant, but Cyclone knew the direction.

As Cyclone took a step forward, running in the opposite direction from where the voice came.

"As long as you stay away from my sister, even if I have to go against the world, I will!"

The voice suddenly appeared, not from behind but from the direction Cyclone was about to move forward.

It was a trap, Cyclone fell for it.

Damn it! Of all times, why did it have to be this woman!!

In anger, but it was too late, the voice was so close, less than three meters away.

Smoke obstructed the view, but a sudden gust of wind cleared the smoke.

Bettina was right in front, with a huge bow raised, already aiming at Cyclone's heart.

Time seemed to slow down, in Cyclone's eyes, the arrow had already been shot, inch by inch approaching Cyclone's chest.

Even though Cyclone instinctively crouched down, at this incredibly close range, there was no way to dodge.

However, just as the arrow was about to pierce Cyclone's chest, the master of this powerful wind appeared, and a small knife in the air slashed the arrow down.
