Chapter 172: Battle

"Damn, let her run away!"

Lynia told Duke in frustration that she was beginning to feel guilty for not catching the Assassin this time.

"Don't regret it, we still have ......"

Originally, Duke wanted to comfort Lenia for a few words, but before he finished speaking, the sensing bead in his hand came with a slightly warm touch again.

The assassin has run back again!

Maybe it's because they think the most dangerous place is the safest place, or because they are overconfident in their own skills and skills, and they want to take advantage of Duke's lax mentality after they just drove out the Assassins.

Anyway, the assassin was so bold that he was far behind Duke, keeping a slightly far distance but enough to monitor his target's every move, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.

"Lord?"

Lynia felt strange that her lord did not continue in the middle of his speech, and asked tentatively.

"Uh, it's fine. ”

In order not to attract the attention of the assassins who were secretly staring at him, Duke continued to answer Lenia's question in a pretended natural way: "We just need to continue to strengthen our protection." ”

At the same time, his lips squirmed slightly, and he reminded Lenia in a low voice, "The assassins are still around us. ”

Lenia, who has great strength, is naturally not bad at hearing, and soon understood what Duke meant, and while quietly using her own perception to search for hidden assassins, she also cooperated with Duke and said, "I'll arrange it later." ”

She also whispered, "The assassin is in the treetops on the left, three hundred meters behind you. ”

Within the scope of her perception, there is an inconspicuous black spot on that tree, which is ignored almost every time she roughly perceives, and can only be found when she is completely focused on probing, and once her mental power is close, it will sink into the sea like a black hole, and there is no effective information feedback at all.

Is it in the tree behind you......

Having Lenia's exact positioning, Duke soon reflected the strange black dot in his mental world, and immediately grasped the ray bead that Agnes had given him.

"I'll find a way to give him a little later, and then you can catch him later. ”

Duke arranged for Lenia, and after waiting for her affirmative reply, he secretly mustered up his strength to crush the beads in his hand.

No way, Agnes' bead design is so hardcore that Duke will need to be ready for a while before he can fully activate it.

The "cat demon" was hiding in the treetops at this time, watching Lenia and Duke from afar, who were still talking, waiting for their most relaxed moment before making a move.

Today she is also desperate, because she recently received a letter urging from the housekeeper Elson, although the letter did not say anything explicitly, but she could still see the threats and oppression implied in it.

Although having a contract is equivalent to having an insurance, in order to prevent the powerful Viscount Stern from finding a way to crack it or other means of evasion, so as not to have a long night and dreams, she plans to end up with Duke today.

Just as she was quietly waiting for the opportunity, a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and the hairs all over her body began to become active, especially the hair that stood on end like an electric shock, as if it had exploded.

Not good!

Thanks to the special talent of the cat demon clan, she foresaw the deadly threat a little in advance, and immediately drilled under the tree decisively.

Then a searing familiar white ray pierced and burned her place like a silver chain of life, leaving only a terrible charred hollow and a light smoke rising between the thick leaves.

The "cat demon" covered his right hand, which had become charred again, roared wildly, and rolled on the ground several times in a row, unloading the power of jumping from a height.

After all, she was a step slower, although she had a talent warning, but Duke's surprise attack directly lost the vitality of her right hand, which she couldn't put away, and turned into a strip of meat that drooped and couldn't move.

The "cat demon" who had just stood still didn't have time to react, and soon a familiar fiery red sword light appeared in the corner of her eyes.

It turned out that at the moment when Duke launched an attack, Lenia also raised her sword and rushed to the landing point of the "cat demon", and when she fell to the ground, Lenia was also able to arrive, and without the slightest hesitation, she wanted to execute the assassin who dared to assassinate her lord.

Sensing that death was imminent, the "cat demon" once again rolled to the right, rubbing against the blade of the sword to dodge the powerful blow, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke with a bang.

Lania, who had long seen through her tricks, carried the rusty sword given by Simon, and gently twisted it into a no-man's space, and soon forced out a figure wearing a black leotard and a hood from the originally empty place.

The "cat demon" was full of horror in his eyes, but he didn't expect that his tried and tested escape and assassination skills would be resolved by the knight in front of him, and he could only use his intact left hand to reluctantly teach this Lenia's next continuous sword moves.

However, frontal fighting is not her area of expertise, coupled with the abolition of her right hand, even though her strength is similar to that of Lenia, more than a dozen small wounds soon appeared on her body, and she gradually couldn't parry the next attack.

"Drink!"

Finally, after a while, Lenia saw a flaw, and with a loud shout, she slammed her sword with both hands and slashed down on the face of the "cat demon".

The other party had no way to avoid it, and in the end, he could only barely deviate from his cheeks and neck, and was pulled by Lenia from his left shoulder blade to his right lower abdomen, and the blood that burst out of the wound drenched Lenia into a bloody man.

However, the "cat demon" actually took advantage of the fact that Lenia's moves were getting old and new, and turned into an illusory black mist and drifted away into the distance.

"Carving insect skills!"

Seeing that the other party dared to repeat the old trick, Lenia looked at the direction again and stabbed out.

However, this time she stabbed directly into the air, and the space around her did not change at all.

In her confusion, she suddenly found that there was a complete set of clothes on the ground where the "cat demon" was staying just now, looking at the color and style and the one she was wearing just now.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Lenia immediately understood what had happened before she came over, and she couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart.

It turned out that the black phantom released by the "cat demon" just now was just a bait, and her real plan was to transform into the bloodline body again, and leave the battlefield while the chaos was gone, and at this time it was completely gone.
