Obscured by the smoke, a pair of sharp claws suddenly poked out from behind Assas's back and slammed into his back.

The unsuspecting Assas didn't have time to react at all, and under the huge impact, his whole body pounced uncontrollably, and the long sword also came out of his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp impact sound.

His armor resisted the claw blows and a considerable part of the impact, but his chest was still stuffy. The sudden attack baffled him, but his body's instinctive reaction prompted him to roll and dodge - a knee-jerk action that saved his life.

The metallic claws hit him squarely, and if he had been half a second late, his fragile neck would have been cut in two by the unknown enemy!

The tumbling posture was inevitably a little awkward, but Assas managed to get to his feet with the force of the tumbling. However, as soon as he regained his balance, another cold light flashed in front of him, and he subconsciously raised his arm to block, the arm armor and the claws collided, and the huge force made Assas retreat uncontrollably, but this time he barely maintained his posture, and in the interval between the opponent's attacks, he directly took out the Guardian of Justice from the spatial ring and blocked it in front of him.

When faced with a fight, the subconscious and fighting instincts of his body forced him to calm down.

Assas clutched his shield in front of him. The two raids had already allowed him to enter the tower, and the movements of the two had brought up a large cloud of smoke and dust, completely obscuring his vision. Assas then closed his eyes and used his mental power to sense everything flowing around him.

There was no leaking energy reaction, which was not unexpected, and the opponent's powerful claw attack had already proved the opponent's melee professional identity.

But it's not just energy that flows.

The smoke spreads disorderly, rises and falls, and everything should have its own laws. In this kind of law, there is no room for discordant. All that rampant in this disorderly balance will be conspicuously marked by them.

Beside him, the calm dust suddenly stirred.

Assas turned abruptly, and the giant shield did not hesitate to push in a certain direction. There was a sudden impact sound from the empty side, and the impact force hit, Assas forcibly stabilized his position, retracted the shield, pushed out, and the shield was launched!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the wall was clearly discernible, and Arthas even heard a deliberately suppressed wail of pain. With the help of memory, he raised his shield and quickly approached the place where he had lost his sword, picked up his weapon and rolled out of the dimly lit tower room, his eyes fixed on the doorway.

"Huh...... Whew......"

The sound of heavy beast-like breathing came from the doorway. In the darkness and dust, a tall humanoid black figure slowly appeared, with two long claws on his arms hanging straight down to his knees.

With a shield in his left hand and the tip of his sword touching the ground in his right, Assas made a fearless charge.

In the darkness, only the two red lights in the eyes of the unknown monster were extremely eye-catching.

It sharpened its claws and looked at Arthas, muttering something meaninglessly.

"The guy who can't speak...... Go to hell. Fearless Charge!"

Assas's eyes lit up, and he strode forward, his sword striking a streamer on the ground. The monster roared, and raised its claws and rushed in the direction of Arthas. It seems to want to have a battle of pure power with Assas.

"Ground Split!"

At the moment when the two were about to collide, the fearless charge suddenly stopped, and the giant sword in Assas's hand was already full of strength, and with the inertia of Assas's sudden stop, the long sword with a streamer smashed into the ground in front of him!

"What?"

Assas was shocked.

At that moment, the monster that originally looked like it was going to wrestle with him suddenly and deftly avoided it, and the two sharp claws pressed his slashing long sword, and flew into the air with the force of that moment's contact!

Assas threw away the knight's creed, and the sword fell and bounced out with inertia. He took a step back, holding his shield in front of him, avoiding the embarrassment of facing the impact directly below, but time did not allow him to use any more skills. He withstood the full force of the monster's blow, his arm bent uncontrollably, the shield hit his chest, he spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, staggered back a few steps, his chest was stuffy, and his breathing became messy.

But the monster didn't want to let him go. After being blocked again, the monster seemed to become angry, and he raised his head to the sky and roared, his red eyes staring at the somewhat disengaged Assas, and his form disappeared in an instant.

Assas was stunned.

Then, he flew out on the spot.

Three clear scratches appeared on the back of the lion's armor, then on the chest, on the armour...... The invisible streamer knocked Assas into the air again and again, preventing him from landing and causing damage to him. If it weren't for the strong defense of the lion's armor, Assas would have become a puddle of minced meat at this time, but even if the current situation of Assas is still very critical, that is, the sharpness of the convenience claws is blocked, but the impact in the air that cannot be borrowed is real, with every attack of the monster, a red blood mist will swing in front of Assas, and after ten sharp claws shuttle, the monster's figure suddenly appeared above Assas, and a powerful elbow hit Assas's abdomen, slamming him to the ground, splashing a large area of dirt on the soft and wet grass——

Assas gritted his teeth and tried desperately to stand up with one hand on the ground, but eventually fell back helplessly.

This combo has already left him seriously injured.

He held on to prevent himself from fainting, staring at the monster that approached step by step after landing on the ground, and the fire of anger in his heart burned brightly-

And in the monster's sight, it clearly saw the red spreading in Assas's eyes.

It was still approaching Assas in a hurry, rubbing its claws and kicking away Assas's lost shield.

It's not an irrational monster as Arthas thinks it is—it's true that it can't speak in this state.

It doesn't want to leave Assas any chance of a comeback.

It stood beside Assas, staring at him condescendingly and contemptuously, its claws on his neck.

It's humiliation.

The red light in Assas's eyes spread rapidly. His near-fainting consciousness was already unaware of the strange energy that was gradually emerging from his body.

But, like all novels, the protagonist never dies easily.

"Holy Light, please visit this world!"

The sudden light instantly made the monster lose its vision. It seemed to be terrified of the light, and with a wail, it leaped back several meters, its claws on its face and a few steps back, avoiding the center of the light.

"Praise the Creator God. May God bless your people. ”

Gentle light poured into Arthas's body like a stream of water, repairing the damage to his body. And when the holy light poured in, a trace of black mist in Assas's body was forced out and dispersed into the air almost visibly, and Assas's eyes finally returned to their original color.

And when he finally calmed down, he realized how many stupid things he had done in these short ten minutes.

"Damn...... When exactly did it ......?"

The power of the Light did not heal him completely, but it did slightly restore the wounds in his internal organs, giving him the strength to stand up. He coughed twice, barely stood up, took out his spare ordinary sword and shield under the cover of the holy light, and assumed a defensive posture towards the place where the monster disappeared in his memory.

He immediately understood that he had been infected by the power of demonic desire at some point, and this power had been hidden in the deepest depths, even avoiding his own energy sensing (because Assas's emotions had always been stable, and there was no outward manifestation of being infected by the power of desire, so he never carefully examined his body). But just before, I had mood swings because of Del Kora's disappearance, and I was impressed by that strange letter, which stimulated the demonic power hidden in my heart, and directly turned myself into an impulsive, irritable, and irrational state, and made many completely unreasonable decisions in the battle.

And that's an anomaly that can only be discovered after the fact.

The inexplicable Divine Magic Light slowly dissipated, and without the cover of the Holy Light, the monster's form appeared again. He was already close to the entrance of the tower, dozens of meters away from Arthas. It seemed to be quite afraid of the Light, and even though the effective time of Divine Magic Radiance had passed, it still raised its claws to block it, assuming a posture of high alert.

It's a shame to say that in such a fierce battle, Assas couldn't make it show such nervousness - Assas has been pressed and beaten.

Strange to say, it is clear that Assas is not only good at melee combat skills, but also has a certain degree of magic and divine attainments, but his brain seems to block these two things. It was too late to use it against Moccarus before, but this time it was completely forgotten about them. His right hand obviously also wears two rings of magic amplification and magic amplification.

It's as if his body is rejecting him from using this power.

"There is a conflict between the light that has melted into my body and the power of desire...... This sense of rejection...... Could it be ......"

A strange thought popped into his mind.

This guy in front of you...... Could it be a demon too?

"Your body still seems to be weak," a pleasant female voice sounded beside him, "can you still fight? ”

Assas looked back in amazement, only to see a face that was absolutely unexpected.

"It's you?!"
