Act 51. The Faceless

A bright electric light lit up the room in an instant, and Diego Wordsworth barely hesitated, rubbing his ring and whispering the words of opening.

"Blood!"

The language of the old Pan-Western Seas that he spoke, the words that came out, the ruby on the ring should immediately shine, and at the same time affect the spirit of the intruder, at least unconscious, or at worst mad on the spot.

However, nothing happened.

Diego Wordsworth found himself unable to speak any of the words.

The whole world is silent.

Even the storm outside the window is like a silent movie, which seems particularly unreal.

Another silent flash of lightning streaked across the sky, but Diego Wordsworth, like a deaf man, failed to catch any sound.

Even, he couldn't even notice the sound of his own heartbeat and the subtle sound of his breathing.

Suddenly, the premonition of danger made Diego's hair explode, and he almost didn't hesitate to pull up a woman in his hand and smash it at the other party.

But the next moment, the faceless assassin was gone.

It was as if he was teleporting, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Diego.

The silent movements contained a strong murderous intent, and Diego only saw the man's empty right hand turn into something and come towards his heart.

He was sluggish due to his instinctive use of [Blood Praise] and lost the opportunity to take the lead, but now, as an ascender of the third-order shadow archetype, Diego has brought out his own characteristics and maintained his composure in the face of danger.

The opponent chose to approach in a strange way, using a melee similar method to assassinate, indicating that the opponent's ranged attack ability may be relatively weak.

He has the ability to make the sound of an area disappear? Or is it the corresponding transcendent item? Either way, it shouldn't last long.

The [Ripper] upstairs should have been almost aware of the change here, and all I need to do is stall for time.

In the blink of an eye, Diego identified these and quickly responded.

Faced with the Assassin's attack, Diego flicked his wrist.

His chest is gone!

In the white singer, the invisible dagger did not have any stabbing touch, he immediately chose to retreat to open the distance, and at the same time, he saw that Diego's whole person disappeared in place as if he had been smeared with an eraser.

"Stealth ability? Or ......"

In Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision], he could see a vague shadow moving towards the stairs, and he immediately raised his hand, and the invisible dagger was thrown, directly piercing through the shadow's location.

However, with the exception of a scar on the wall hanging on the wall because of its strength, the dagger did not hit the target.

Complete physical stealth?

It's closer to being hidden.

Just as Bai Ge can hide in the shadows, some of the Shadow Archetype's ascendants also have a similar ability to conceal, allowing their bodies to disappear from other people's perceptions, similar to the fate archetype manipulating people's hearts.

In this way, Diego's concealment is at least much stronger than Bai Ge's.

However, such a high-intensity concealment should not last long.

Bai Ge knew Diego's thoughts very well, this person should want to seek help from the helper he had found, so as long as he could buy time, it was enough.

Now that the effect of the [Sound of Silence] is less than two minutes away, the guards outside the villa should also begin to sense that something is wrong one after another, and they are about to break down the door.

If he didn't have any preparations, Bai Ge would soon face the situation of being attacked on his belly and back, and it would be difficult to fly.

It was precisely because of his ability to conceal himself, coupled with the [Scarlet Tribute], that Diego dared to be so exposed to the assassins.

He used himself as a bait to try to kill Bai Ge back!

But...... Bai Ge chased after him decisively, and he saw that at the corner of the stairs, Diego showed his figure, gasping for breath, and preparing to go to a room with the door half-hidden.

That room is where the Ripper is.

"Why didn't [the Ripper] make a move, what the hell was he waiting for?"

Diego thought that he felt a premonition of danger and hurried forward.

Some sharp weapon swept behind him, bringing up a little bit of blood.

"An invisible weapon?"

Diego quickly became aware of the Assassin's nature.

He knew that there were some classes of the Shadow Prototype that had the ability to directly create weapons out of thin air, or turn ordinary things into hidden weapons, but he didn't expect to encounter one.

Diego hurriedly pushed open the door and tried to call for help.

However, there was nothing in the room.

The Ripper is nowhere to be found, and the room is empty, as if no one ever existed.

Where did he go???

Diego was stunned for a moment, and immediately chose to hide himself.

[Secret Police].

This is Diego's ability to attack his name, his third-order name [Hound Dog] comes from a famous soldier in the Pan-Western Sea region in the old era, he helped found the most terrifying police organization in the world at that time, and was the second person among them, with titles such as "Decapitator", "Blonde Beast" and "Black Prince".

Therefore, Diego Wordsworth, who further named the character, has two abilities to capture the name, one of which is the [Secret Police], in addition to being able to capture the aura of the offender and perceive danger, he can also temporarily keep himself in a state of concealment, in this state, not only can he not visually see Diego, but even ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against him.

The only weakness is probably some psychic attacks, and a wide range of attacks that destroy even the environment will affect Diego.

In addition, this ability only lasts for a few seconds, after which you need to rest for at least a minute before you can use it again.

In addition, Diego's other ability to attack his name is [Slaughter Mania], in addition to making his body stronger and more suitable for killing, the core feature is that whenever he kills someone, he can draw a part of the power from the other party, and if he is an upgrader, it is even possible to extract the corresponding ability, which is why Diego likes to abuse the target with his own hands and kill him.

It's a pity that since he was promoted to the third order, because he was targeted, he only killed an ascender of the creator prototype with his own hands, and in addition to extracting the ability to perceive and grasp space, he has not been able to draw the ability to attack the name.

Even Diego himself didn't know if he could draw the ability to attack fame.

If that's the case, then [Slaughter Mania] is undoubtedly a fairly powerful ability, which can become stronger and stronger by constantly killing, and it will be easier to kill when it becomes stronger.

Diego's second-order name attack [Butcher] is a serial murderer in the Holy Alliance region in the old era, and the way to improve his reputation is very simple, that is, to keep killing people and create bloodshed, and even the name raid ceremony is an easy job of killing double-digit ordinary people and leaving a mark in the public perception.

But when he reached the third order [Hound Dog], Diego found that ordinary killing could not improve the level of fame, only by establishing or joining an organization, and under the guidance of the organization's rules, purging internal traitors or enemies of the organization, and it was necessary to have a certain strength.

That's why Diego Wordsworth is willing to join the Sand Tooth Group and become the boss of the gang, doing some dirty work in private for them.

And now, while Diego is hiding, he also has his weapon out of his pocket.

Pistol!

Under the demigods, if you are killed, you will die!

Although he didn't know where [Ripper] had gone, at least he couldn't be counted on for a short time, so Diego could only take advantage of the hidden gap to sneak attack and kill the assassin!

Moreover, according to Diego's hunch, this completely silent environment would not last long, and at that time, he could also cooperate with [Blood Tribute] to perform a spiritual attack on the assassin.

Even without a [Ripper], he is a third-order ascender who has experienced a hundred battles!

And Bai Ge, [Assassin Vision] captured Diego's movements, and he saw the pistol.

It's too despicable to fight with a pistol!

Bai Ge rushed into the room pretending not to notice Diego's appearance, and gently flicked his left hand.

At the same time, Diego pulled the trigger.

Click-

However, when he pulled the trigger, he found that the pistol had failed to fire a bullet.

“!!?”

Diego didn't know where his bullet had gone, but could only see what appeared to be a brass glow on the Assassin's left hand, and then a bullet fell silently.

How did he do it?

Diego was surprised to find that the assassin who was going in the other direction suddenly reversed course and rushed over.

He always knew he was here!

Diego was a little remorseful, he should have learned about this from the fact that the other party still decisively threw an invisible dagger after he entered the state of concealment just now, but he subconsciously thought that it was just a blind snipe made by the other party who caught his movements before he hid.

Diego threw the pistol out, his hands bulging in muscles, and attempted to engage the Assassin in hand-to-hand combat.

But in fact, Diego could feel that this silent environment was about to disappear, and at that time, he could take advantage of the interval between hand-to-hand combat and use [Blood Praise] to crush the other party's spirit.

That's what he's really for.

However.

Diego saw that the assassin who was rushing towards him suddenly stopped his movements, and then, out of nowhere, felt a whistle.

He put the whistle under his mask and blew it very ordinarily.

“?”

Diego found that with the inaudible whistle, the silent space, which had almost disappeared, seemed to become stable again.

Can it still be like this?

Diego finally knew that it was the supernatural that restricted him from making sounds.

He hesitated, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

The masked Assassin had arrived in Diego's presence.

Diego could see that there seemed to be a guard coming up the stairs, but more than that, he didn't know.

In a trance, Diego suddenly remembered that the target of his third-order attack seemed to have been assassinated and died.

The invisible dagger pierced his chest and slashed his head with ease, slitting his throat and slicing his head off.

This should be dead.

Bai Ge confirmed, touched his hand, took Diego's ring away, and saw that outside the door, the tactical figure and the bodyguard in a suit raised their pistols.

He bowed to the men, pressed down on his chest, and bowed.

The next moment, Bai Ge disappeared.

As if it had never appeared, it disappeared into the empty room.

Only Diego Wordsworth's head, bleeding from it, spread on the delicate wooden floor.

All the bodyguards were speechless, watching the scene.

All they could see was that in the room, on the body of Diego Wordsworth, there was a mask.

There are no facial features, a pure white mask.
