ACT 2 Using a Crisis as an Opportunity!

This is the end!

His expression instantly became dark.It became dark the moment he let go of the protruding rock. He would be turned to powder the moment he touched the lava.However, he had no regrets about his life.But if his armour broke

That absolutely cant happen. A way, I need to find a way! A foothold..

But nothing could be seen in the area.At that moment he heard Racards voice over his head.

I-its not my fault! Isnt that right? Isnt it?

That bastard! Are you a government employee? A politician? Why are you saying such things in a situation like this?

Youre trying to avoid responsibility when your Master is about to dive into lava? Wasnt it just like government officials blaming each other in a state of emergency? Sometimes he really wanted to step on that persons mouth.That was when he had a thought.There was an intense spark inside of Ark.

Wait? Step on? Racard?

Ark came up with a brilliant idea to save the situation. He considered it an absurd method but there was no time to think about it. As soon as Ark came up with a way, he raised his head and shouted.

Racard, summon release! Racard, summon demon!

Huk, what, what the?

Racard who had been claiming his innocence from a distant place disappeared. Ark recalled Racard back to his side and grabbed him.

Hik! W-why are you doing this? Do you intend for us to die together? No, I dont want to!

Who is intending to die with you? Shut up and stay still!

Ark shouted angrily and placed Racard underneath his foot. Then he stepped on Racards head and used all his power to push off.

Jump!

It was the Jump option attached to his Wolfs Feet!When Ark used Jump, his thighs swelled up and he used explosive power to push off Racards head.When he used a springboard, it allowed Jump to make up the remaining metres and he managed to grab the protruding stone again. But Racard who had become a foothold screamed as he was forced to fall towards the bottom.He hadnt suspected Arks ulterior motive but he desperately flapped his wings to avoid falling into the lava the moment his head was stepped on.

Ack, my head! Ack, my butt! Im going to die!

Shut up, hurry up and lure those wendigoes away from here!

What? What? You dare say that now? Dont you see that my butt is on fire?

Do you really want to fall into the molten lava?

Kwa kwa kwang!

Then the rock was struck by one of the wendigoes tongue.Ark quickly moved to another rock before growling at Racard.

If I fall again then Ill grab you and bring you with me no matter what. Definitely!

Okay! I understand! Ya, you damn tongue ghost demons!

Racard rubbed his butt to put out the fire and used Taunt on the wendigoes.After Racard lured the wendigoes away, Ark could climb up onto the land again.He had managed to avoid having his equipment melted in the lava for the moment. But that was it. There were still dozens of wendigoes swiping with their tongues in front of him and his health and the durability of his equipment was at the very bottom.

It is better than falling into the lava but my equipment will still be destroyed when fighting against the wendigoes. I have to concentrate on finding a way to escape!

Now the important thing wasnt to win but to move another land mass when it approached. Ark considered and put away his sword.His sword had low durability like his other equipment but putting it away could raise his evasion rate. Without his sword, he could concentrate everything on evasion.

Dark Dance!

Hwiririg, kwa kwa kwang! Hwiririg, kwa kwa kwang!

The bloody tongue with sharp needles passed closely by. Even with his evasion raised to 100%, he couldnt escape all attacks.

Just one attack would decrease my durability.

It also had its limits.It was raining and his clothes were wet. Even minor damage couldnt be ignored. After approximately 3~4 minutes passed, a red warning message popped up in front of Ark.

-The durability ofGuardian Armour of the Merpeople,Cat Paws,Raccoons PithandWarriors Transcriptshas decreased to 2%.

Immediate repair is needed!
