Chapter 153: Grappling

"Who are you, and who are you going to assassinate me?"

In order to stall for time and give him more chance to deal with the next attack, Duke questioned the Assassin in front of him as he slowly continued to distance himself between the two.

Of course, the "cat demon" will not be stupid enough to reveal any information, and he has already felt a little annoyed that he missed the opportunity to kill Duke with one blow in a little daze just now, and this time he will definitely not give Duke any more chance after he comes to his senses, and after finding Duke's flaw, he immediately stabbed him with a dagger like a cannonball.

Duke, who had been keeping an eye on the other man's movements, was startled, and very clumsily dodged the attack with a clumsy dodge to the side, and soon the Assassin's second attack came back, giving him no breathing room at all.

Fortunately, he also wore a ring on his hand that could activate the shield, and at the most critical moment, a white light flashed, and a milky white egg-shaped shield shrouded his whole person, blocking the Assassin's next attack.

However, the good times did not last long, and the attack speed of the "cat demon" was extremely fast, and after the shield was activated, all the attacks were concentrated on a breakthrough point.

Duke, who was being protected and moved to the full area, only heard a tinkling tink, and in a few moments he heard him stab a dozen times, and the entire shield began to shake violently, causing a ripple.

With a bang, just as Duke had just flashed out of the attack range of the "cat demon", the shield had finally completed its mission and shattered, and the magic elements that had turned into stars quickly dissipated into darkness.

Where did this assassin come from? Why is he so strong?

Duke, who was lucky enough to escape, muttered in his heart, the original shield could withstand the full force of the fifth-level knight, and the assassin profession was originally inferior to the powerful knight in terms of strength, and now he broke the shield in a short period of time, although it was a little skill, but no matter how it was said, the opponent's strength would not be lower than the fifth.

And Duke is only a third-level mage now, and if the next two shields are exhausted by the assassins, it means that Duke's death is approaching.

After a few moves around the not-so-spacious room, Duke secretly clasped the dragon rope wrapped around his hand, ready to give it a go, but in a hurry, he couldn't find the right time to make a move.

"Cat Demon" didn't make a move after a series of attacks, keeping an appropriate distance from Duke and looking for a flaw with unique footwork.

Duke, who had been dragging it, saw that it was not a way to consume it like this, so he delayed for a while and bought a flaw, and the "cat demon" didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and stabbed with a dagger in his hand.

This time, Duke was prepared, dodged the blow relatively lightly, and then took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent was not firmly on the ground, and immediately used his mental power to activate the magic props in his hand.

The flaming rope was stimulated by Duke, and flew out of Duke's arm like a living python, wrapping around the back of the "cat demon" to tie him up.

Startled by this sudden situation, the "cat demon" hurriedly collected and jumped back, and in a hurry, he actually drove a distance of more than five meters directly from Dukla.

But the dragon rope is not a mortal thing after all, and even Lenia suffers a secret loss when she is not paying attention, and this assassin whose strength may be worse than Lenia is basically in a catastrophe.

No matter how much he dodged or moved around the room, he couldn't completely avoid being tracked by the dragon rope, and he was about to be caught by Duke.

Suddenly, he stood still on the ground as if resigned to his fate, and let the rope tie him up strongly, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free, even if he used a special method to make the bones temporarily dislocated and shrink his body, there was nothing to be done, because the dragon rope would shrink on its own with the change of the opponent's body shape, in short, it would tie him to death on the spot.

"Well? Who can tell you sent you now?"

Seeing that this powerful assassin had finally been caught by himself, Duke breathed a sigh of relief, and just asked from a distance for fear that the other party would have other moves that he had not seen before.

However, the "cat demon" still didn't speak, just stood in place with his mouth closed, as if he was ready to be tortured by Duke.

"Why bother, I'm a good man, and I'll let you go without suffering if you say it. ”

After confirming that the assassin was not a threat, Duke moved closer for a while and began to look for the place in the room where the silence magic had been cast, wanting to call someone to help him as soon as possible, but now he still couldn't help the assassin, and had to leave it to the professionals.

Secretly swept away with his spiritual power, Duke was shocked to find that this assassin was really crazy and careful, and all the places in the windowsills, doors and other corners of the entire room that could breathe in the wind were set up with advanced silence magic, and there were actually seventeen or eighteen in total.

This also made Duke so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that his room would be infiltrated so badly in just a period of time, and it became a complete trap room, if it weren't for the silence magic, there was no direct lethality, and other offensive formations were not easy to arrange, it is estimated that he would have been done ten times eight times in his room.

With a deep sigh in his heart, Duke turned around first to undo the silence magic on the windowsill and then summoned the guards guarding outside to come in first.

The moment he turned around, an unusually dangerous aura suddenly enveloped Duke's body, causing goosebumps to shiver in his hair.

Driven by instinct, he lowered his head unnaturally, but he still felt a cold and piercing terrifying killing intent aimed directly at the back of his neck, as if a silver needle was piercing his neck.

The milky white shield was once again stretched open, but it was shattered by the prepared Assassin's blow, and the tip of the dagger took a step closer without hindrance, towards Duke.

At the moment when the shield shattered, the last shield flashed again with almost no delay, recovering Duke intact.

This result was obviously much beyond the expectations of the "cat demon", when he smashed the shield with one blow just now, he had already used most of the reserved strength, and it was naturally impossible to forcibly break the shield with the same strength again.

Thinking that this might be the opportunity he had the most grasp, he spewed out a bloody arrow from his heart, and stabbed it into the fatal part of the back of his neck that he had been aiming at again.

But Duke finally reacted and ducked to the cabinet next to him......
