Chapter 314: An Unexpected Sneak Attacker
Zilaββ!
Like water and moonlight, several blue-white lightning bolts tore through the night, weaving a huge web of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and the electric sparks flickering in them seemed to be filled with terrifying energy, as if they could destroy everything that was enveloped in it, whether it was alive or not.
It's just that the next moment, near the terrifying-looking lightning giant net, a large number of black balls appeared out of thin air, because of the cover of the night, these black balls were not conspicuous at first, but soon these black spheres expanded in circles, and the invisible devouring gravity spread out from these black spheres, and it actually continuously inhaled the blue-white lightning that formed the surrounding lightning net.
Some of the black spheres may have been filled with too much lightning energy, and they would suddenly explode after they swelled to a certain extent, but even so, all the lightning energy that was sucked into the black spheres had disappeared and could not be recovered, and soon the thunder and lightning nets in the sky were destroyed by this large number of black spheres.
Witnessing the scene happening in front of him, the tense face of the beast spirit high priest standing on the ground holding the lightning scepter couldn't help but show a trace of not very calm, and at the same time, the look of doubt in the depths of his eyes became more and more intense.
Half an hour had passed since he had been assassinated in his tent, in other words, half an hour had passed since the daring man who dared to go alone into the Northlands Wasteland, which was now in the hands of the Beast Spirits, and to fight him, the first person to assassinate the Beast Spirits, who was now the de facto power. As far as the result is concerned, it can be seen from the expression on the face of the High Priest now - as a level 110 transcendent powerhouse, the High Priest did not have the slightest upper hand in this battle, not only that, but it can even be said that he was obviously suppressed.
Holding the scepter tightly, the High Priest quickly found the Assassin's position in mid-air by moonlight, and seeing the figure wrapped in a black cloak floating in the night sky like a ghost, the High Priest snorted angrily and waved his hand from the tip of the scepter to unleash a sword-like lightning bolt at his opponent.
In the face of the high priest's attack, the black-robed assassin seemed unhurried, his hands were raised, and two thick black magic whips extended, and with the assassin's movements, the left hand of the long whip turned into a phantom and flashed in front of him one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the lightning from the hand of the high priest was twisted into a cluster of fine electric sparks, and on the other side, the black long whip on his right hand was flicked by the wrist and was lightly hit by the assassin towards the high priest on the ground.
Although the speed of the black whip is fast, it is still slightly inferior to lightning, but due to the cover of the night, it is impossible to visually distinguish the position of the long whip, and when the other long whip flies to the left front position of the high priest, it still makes the high priest subconsciously exclaim "so fast" in his heart.
The scepter in his hand burst out with lightning, and the high priest raised his hand to block the black whip that had been struck by using an electric shield made of magic, but what happened next was beyond his expectations, and he saw that the black whip that had been used by the assassins to meet the lightning attack was like a poisonous snake that had been lurking for a long time, and it rushed towards him from mid-air.
Between the lightning and flint, the high priest only had time to turn his body, and in the next second, the black long whip that was originally aimed at his chest pierced through one shoulder of the high priest, and then the magic power that constituted the long whip was detonated by the assassin, directly blowing the shoulder of the high priest that was penetrated into a bloody blur.
After another round of fighting, the high priest who had suffered a big loss again had cold sweat on his forehead, and the facts were already clear, no matter how unbelievable he was, the mysterious assassin in front of him, he was really not an opponent.
But the high priest just couldn't figure out who this guy was. Through more than half an hour of fighting, the high priest can be sure that the guy in front of him who is good at dark magic is at least level 115 or above, and it is very likely to be about level 120 strength, and more importantly, from the opponent's dogmatic and rigid way of shooting and fighting, the high priest knows very well that the enemy in front of him is a god fragment owner who has always had himself.
Assassins from the Empire? As far as the High Priest knows, long before the fall of Iron Sword City, the Dragon's Tooth Society, the famous assassin organization of the Radiant Empire, had launched an assassination operation against the then commander of the western side of the Beast Spirit Clan, Ello, although at that time Aelo's strong strength made them not succeed, but it also delayed Ello's attack on Iron Sword City.
This is the most likely answer, and it can even be said that in addition to this possibility, the probability of other answers is not more than one percent together, but there is one of the most critical doubts in this - when did the Dragon's Tooth Society, or the Radiant Empire, emerge such a powerful Godhead fragment owner?
The Assassin in front of him, whose strength is stronger than that of the High Priest, is completely equal to Elo in the High Priest's opinion, and he is also the owner of the Divine Head Shard, not at all like those natives who have been deprived of their own will and are confined to some kind of veneer mode. If such a figure really existed in the upper echelons of the Radiant Empire, then how could their previous assassination of Iroh fail? No, before that, if the owner of this Godhead Fragment really came from the upper echelons of the Empire, then how could the Radiant Empire's performance in this war be so rigid and rigid without much flexibility to speak of?
The unknown is the biggest source of fear, although the strength of the high priest's will is not to be timid because of the unknown identity of the assassin, but as the battle situation becomes more and more unfavorable, the high priest will inevitably have great uneasiness in his heart, the most obvious evidence is that the leader of the high priest at this moment, although he seems to be injured on the surface, he is still full of coercion and strong fighting spirit, but in fact, he has begun to retreat a little in his heart, thinking about how to escape from this opponent.
The other party has the ability to fly, but as a strong person with the talent of the wind element, flying is not a difficult thing for the beast spirit high priest, as long as he can trap the other party for a while, then the high priest has the confidence to take the opportunity to open up enough distance so that the other party cannot catch up with him.
It's just that it's not easy to trap the other party, although the enemy is a very strong dark mage, but I don't know what secret method to obtain the ability to fly, in terms of the maneuverability he showed in the previous battle, he is definitely not lost to the average wind elemental talent. If you want to make the opponent avoid and unstoppable moves, the high priest thinks about it, and only his trick as a trump card may work.
It's just that the momentum of that magic chant is really huge, but a few seconds of chanting time is inevitable, and it is easy to be interrupted by the other party immediately after the chant starts. It would be fine if someone took cover, but now the beast spirit guards around the camp except for him were deliberately killed and eliminated by this hateful guy in front of him as early as before the battle and at the beginning of the battle, so the opportunity to chant the trick can only be found by the high priest himself.
The strength of the assassin is very strong, and his fighting style is more cautious, but since he is calculating or not, it didn't take a few minutes to really make the high priest wait for an opportunity.
Zila!
The Assassin who was hit by the High Priest seized the opportunity, three arcs came out, immobilizing the Assassin as a whole. Although this control skill is a convenient instantaneous skill, the corresponding effect time is really limited, especially for the current moment of strength, the high priest is estimated to only be able to trap the opponent for a few seconds, but this is enough for the high priest.
Blue-white lightning erupted from the High Priest's body, and then accompanied by the piercing sound of electricity constantly converging on the tip of the lightning scepter in the High Priest's hand, as the electricity continued to gather, a plasma ball containing destructive power was condensed at the tip of the lightning scepter.
However, just as the High Priest moved the tip of his scepter in the direction of the immobilized Assassin, feeling that he was ready to use his hands after the chant was charged, a chill suddenly came from behind the High Priest exactly as when he had noticed an Assassin at the tent door.
Smothering! Cut your throat! Wind Element Turbulence!
If the stun interruption and panic silence effects of the first two skills were enough to suffocate the high priest's trump card skill that had not yet been suffocated, the last skill was simply vicious for the current high priest. Lightning energy is a variant of wind elemental energy on the plane of the Emissian continent, and if such a huge amount of lightning energy is gathered in his hand and is not successfully released, the high priest is already equivalent to holding a blast bomb that will explode in the next second, and the skill of wind element turbulence is more fuel in this already unstable burst, making the backlash of the interruption of the magic more intense.
Rumble!
The blue-white electric light completely lost control, completely annihilating the master of the High Priest, and at the same time, the trapped assassin also broke free from the shackles of the lightning arc, and when he saw the High Priest in front of him who was being consumed by his violent elemental energy, the corners of his mouth under the hood couldn't help but flash a sneer with sarcasm.
β¦β¦ That adventurer kid, did a really good job.
