No one knows when the Assassins appeared.

Even Sauron didn't realize this, the enemy's strength was a little beyond his estimate, and it wasn't until the moment before the enemy stabbed him that Sauron realized that someone was sneaking up on him. His powerful dodge ability and amazing body qualities made him want to avoid the sneak attack from behind, but it was too late because he didn't have the [Intuitive Dodge] specialty, and the moment he was ready to dodge, the enemy had already hit his back.

The tip of the knife pierced the back, and it was impossible to dodge!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Sauron's mind, but in the end, it was the will to survive that dominated the body, and when the enemy stabbed him in the back, he instantly activated the Stone Skin Technique, but the tip of the knife still pierced through the muscle layer to the heart, and Sauron could only activate the [Slayer Transformation] at the same time at that moment. Then the next moment, his body began to undergo amazing changes, the rushing heartbeat squeezed the blood, and in less than a millisecond, his entire body element increased a lot, and then entered the [Son of Killing] form.

The tip of the knife pierces the heart.

Sauron's whole body stiffened, and the feeling of his heart being pierced was so painful that his continued strength dissipated somewhat. However, the additional abilities attached to the Transformation into the Child of Slaughter have been activated, and it seems that the assassin of Sauron is a Legendary-level Assassin, as only Legendary Assassins can get close to Sauron unnoticed. But as an assassin, the enemy's strength doesn't seem to be very high, and the tip of the knife that was supposed to penetrate Sauron's heart from his chest was actually stuck after only stabbing the heart under the effect of the stone skin technique and the transformation of the killer form.

Exhausted!

Sauron's muscle layer caught the opponent, and then when the enemy was about to crush his heart with a backhand twisting knife, Sauron, who had been stabbed in the heart and should be almost dying, had a cold light in his palm, and then the legendary scimitar ice death appeared in his palm, directly slashing at the opponent's throat. This death-defying attack was quite ferocious, and it obviously made the legendary assassin of Sauron hesitate. In his mind, Sauron was almost a mortal target, so he certainly didn't want to die with him.

So the other party took three steps back, and dodged Sauron's attack while pulling out his short knife!

"Tsk!"

A mocking exclamation erupted from the Assassin's mouth, he looked inconspicuous from the outside, as if he were an ordinary sailor, but Sauron knew that this was not the other party's true face, and that he was an assassin who was proficient in disguise. This is the type of basic skill, and this kind of disguise that relies on craftsmanship is more subtle than the disguise that can be removed by magic.

The legendary assassin stared at Sauron in front of him, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "I actually stabbed the heart and didn't die!" You're still tenacious! No wonder that man was willing to pay a lot of money for me! But. How long can you survive an injury like this? ”

The other party's gaze was cold, full of murderous intent, and he was also looking for Sauron's flaws.

Because the Killer Transformation made him feel a hint of danger!

Sauron's pupils turned blood-red, and streams of blood spilled from his back, but the muscles of the control were temporarily blocked from the massive bleeding, and Sauron would not die from excessive blood loss in a short period of time. He is now like the Gnoll Hunter who was successfully assassinated by himself, and Sauron also stabbed the other party's heart at the beginning, but because the opponent's vitality is too tenacious, his physique is more than 20 points. That's why he didn't die directly, but he just lasted for a while before he lost too much blood and died.

A row of blood-red numbers emerges:

"Attacked!"

"You've been backstabbed by an enemy! …… You take 126 puncture damage! …… You take 21 Shadow Damage! …… You've been hit in the heart by an enemy! …… Trigger the Lethality Waiver Decision! …… You've successfully passed the death waiver verdict! …… You're in a state of serious injury! …… You're in a state of massive hemorrhage! …… Your remaining vitality will be lost quickly! ……”

………………――

A backstab.

Even Sauron's 22-point Transcendent Constitution, plus the 2-point Constitution bonus of the Slayer's transformation, and the protective effect of Stone Skin. Still didn't reduce the enemy's damage much. This knife directly knocked him into a state of serious injury, and even if he temporarily passed the death immunity judgment, being hit in the heart meant that he would soon enter a near-death state and eventually die directly!

"Can't die here!"

That was the only thought in Sauron's head. Then the will that had been exercising all this time came into play, and Sauron suppressed the pain of his body and also suppressed the fear of death. His brain raced for a split second, and in a split second, he found a glimmer of life for himself, as well as the possibility to counter his opponent.

Temple of the Sea!

As long as he was able to escape to the Temple of the Sea, the Naga priest could heal his injuries, which were terrifying, but a single recovery technique would have brought Sauron back from the Ghost Gate. The injury to the heart is completely healed, and the injury of bleeding is nothing at all, as long as Sauron escapes to the Ocean Temple, then even if the heart is destroyed, he will not die, because the high-level recovery technique can even regenerate the heart. Now the Naga priest will definitely not sit idly by and watch him die, the two sides are currently on the same front, without Sauron as the knife in her hand, the Naga priest will finally be alone, and life will definitely not be better than now.

Escape!

It is necessary to escape from there.

Only a high-ranking priest can heal his mortal wounds!

But where is the chance to escape? How could the enemy in front of him allow himself to escape? I was so badly injured! The chances of trying to escape from the other party's hands are quite low! Not to mention that it's still a long way from the Temple of the Sea!

- "Dread! [Instantaneous]"

- "Summon the Shadow!" ”

- "Hide your gaze!" ”

- "Shadow Shuttle! ”

Sauron unleashed several abilities in a flash, first with an instantaneous fear spell from a faint divinity, then with a summoning shadow, and then he disappeared into the shadows. However, this time Sauron did not fight back against the enemy, but to escape from the enemy's attack, his figure appeared from a shadow in the distance, and then instantly poured a bottle of expensive healing potion and fled in the direction of the Ocean Temple.

The Naga priest has given a high-level healing potion that temporarily prolongs Sauron's death!
