Chapter 51: The Ghost Assassin
() Owen can be regarded as a mentor in life, except for Uncle Mercone and the master craftsman, no one has this qualification, not even Reguno, not to mention the instructors in the training camp, there is no doubt that in the vast sea of people, Owen is lucky to meet the master and craftsman, Owen has encountered all kinds of setbacks and pains before, as if it is a series of cruel trials given by the god of fate, there is always a time when the bitterness is exhausted, how to get the plum blossom fragrance without a cold - the master often mentioned to Owen this true proverb should be this truth
After figuring it out, Owen no longer lives in the haze of the past, and the pain and confusion have become a thing of the past, and Owen will only live for tomorrow, just as the master said, he wants to use his limited life to shine a wonderful and brilliant light
In the months that followed, Owen looked at the world with a more open-minded attitude, and his understanding of the unity of heaven and man became deeper and deeper, and he could not only integrate his senses into all things, but now Owen could talk to the earth, the wind, and the grass and trees, reaching a new level
However, there is always an end to a peaceful life
On this morning, Owen practiced boxing by the stream, his movements were very slow, he did not deliberately pursue the speed and strength of his punches, as long as he let his movements follow the breath of the surrounding environment, for Owen, practicing martial arts skills is not to knock down the enemy, but one of the ways to discover the truth of the world......
Owen suddenly sensed a hint of uneasiness, and the horror, pathos, and pleading revealed were incompatible with the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere in the vicinity, Owen stopped and concentrated to feel where this unsettling feeling came from, and it didn't take long for Owen to catch a distinct breath, and he followed the breath, and unconsciously came to the vicinity of the mouth of the cave leading to the outside world
At this time, Owen not only had a strong mental feeling, his ears had directly heard a faint and extremely faint cry from the dark cave, the person needed help, Owen immediately walked in the direction where the cry came from, but just two steps away, he stopped again, isn't it Hades outside, in case it is the conspiracy of the necromancer, I rashly go out, I will fall into the trap
So Owen turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he thought again: No, this voice is so real, those deep fears and cries from the depths of the soul are impossible, and it is impossible to pretend that the master craftsman has said that he wants to burn a brilliant light in a limited life, whether it is a trap or not, I cannot ignore it, maybe today is the time for my life to shine, and after making up his mind, Owen lit a torch and walked into the cave where he could not see his fingers
Whining...... Woo...... Woowoo...... The small space in the cave made these intermittent cries more and more obvious, and Owen heard that the owner of the sound should be a woman, who had searched the camp step by step in the cave, and after more than 100 meters, Owen saw the petite figure lying on a rock at a relatively large corner
Hey, are you alright, Owen ran towards the figure with a torch
She was a girl in tattered clothes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with messy hair and a bloody face, as if she had suffered serious internal injuries, and the moment she saw Owen, she showed extremely frightened eyes, desperately moving her weak body and shrinking into a ball
Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you
The girl didn't seem to believe that Owen's hands were flapping wildly
Well, Owen raised his hands and retreated to the distance that the girl thought was safe, he knew that the girl was suffering a lot of stabbing and mental trauma, and he had to slowly soothe her feelings, and he should not rush it
I'm really not a bad person, I won't hurt you, I won't let others hurt you, believe me, okay, Owen said kindly to the girl
The girl looked at Owen suspiciously, although the frightened expression did not disappear, but Owen knew that the appeasement had begun to work, Owen leaned the torch against a stone next to him, squatted down, and was at the same height as the girl, and continued to say with a smile: Take it easy, you can tell me, what is your name, why are you here, don't worry, I will definitely help you
Owen's gentle words made the girl's frightened expression settle down a little, but she still didn't take off her guard, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Owen deadly, for the unfriendliness in the girl's eyes, Owen didn't care, he smiled at the girl very patiently
Suddenly, the girl's expression became extremely frightened for a moment, she opened her mouth wide and glared at Owen like she saw a monster, and there was a gurgling sound in her throat, she subconsciously wanted to scream, but the strong sense of fear made her unable to scream
Owen was puzzled for a moment by the sudden change in girlish love, but in the next second, he immediately got an answer
Rolling forward on the spot, Owen dodged a dagger that sneaked up from behind, causing the girl to suddenly feel frightened, not Owen himself, but a dark shadow that appeared behind Owen
Even if the ability of heaven and man was not able to detect the sneak attacker at the first time, it can be seen that this enemy's ability to conceal his own breath has reached the realm of perfection, if it were not for the sudden change in the girl's expression, it is still unknown whether Owen can dodge this knife
The sneak attacker missed the blow and reversed the dagger, stabbed out the second knife, Owen turned sideways, barely dodged the dagger, and the dagger touched his face, Owen clearly felt the cold front on the dagger, after Dodging, Owen knew that the opportunity was not to be lost, and quickly kicked in the direction of the sneaker with his palms and feet, and kicked in the direction of the sneaker, the sneaker didn't have time to defend back, but the first kick was hit in the shoulder by the second kick, and let out a muffled snort
Owen jumped back with a beautiful backflip, stood firmly on the ground, dodged in front of the girl, and then Owen had a chance to observe the sneak attacker, who was thin and had a black cloth on his head, and could not see his appearance clearly, but from the eyes exposed, he should be a man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, he was wearing a gray bodysuit, half a dark red cloak, covering the left half of his body from his shoulder, and holding a purple wavy bronze dagger in his right hand
Good skilled assassination skills, you are a professional assassin, Owen raised his eyebrows
Hey...... The Assassin chuckled dryly, and suddenly turned sharply, and the half of the dark red cloak draped over the left half of his body was deflected by the deflection of his body, and he raised the two throwing knives hidden under the cloak and shot towards Owen, and then he spun his body in the opposite direction, and two more throwing knives flew towards Owen
With Owen's current strength, it is not difficult to dodge the four throwing knives that are oncoming him, but he can't dodge, otherwise the girl behind him will suffer, Owen's body suddenly leaned back, and the two flying knives in front of him wiped his face, swept his body, and then quickly reached out to hold their knife handles, and at the same time used the strength of his body to lean back, and suddenly threw the two flying knives back in the direction of each other - the four throwing knives collided in the air, and sparks were sparked, making two crisp impact sounds
The process seems complicated, but in fact, only a hundredth of a second has passed, in this lightning and flint, Owen went from dodging the first two throwing knives to grabbing the throwing knives, and then to throwing the two throwing knives in the back, flowing smoothly and in one go, and being able to counterattack so perfectly under the bare hands, perhaps even many high-ranking knights can't believe that Owen gave up swords under the guidance of his master and practiced empty-handed combat for the first time since he fought with someone with such an effect, even he himself could not have imagined
But when Owen got back on his feet, there was still an assassin
Strange where he was, Owen was confused, he looked around, there was no trace of the assassin's hiding, even the murderous aura was completely hidden, and there was silence all around, but Owen confessed that the assassin would not just flee...... Time passed by a second, but the assassin still did not notice the sweat on Owen's forehead......
The figure of the assassin appeared silently behind Owen, and he quietly stabbed the wavy bronze dagger in his hand into Owen's kidneys - seeing that Owen had no time to turn around
But Owen didn't bother to turn around at all, he kicked his right leg straight back - only to hear the Assassin scream, and before the dagger could be pierced into the kidney, Owen kicked the assassin in the lower abdomen and kicked him back several meters;
You...... The stealth assassin who saw through me glared at Owen with anger in his eyes
Your stealth skills are so good that I can't even peek through them, but I know you're going to emerge from behind me, and Owen looks down on the assassin he knocked to the ground in a victorious manner
Don't be smug, stinky boy, do you think I, Blair, lose so easily, said that his left hand suddenly flicked three throwing knives hidden under the cloak and shot at Owen
It was another move, Owen snorted coldly, and since the girl was not behind him, he easily avoided the three throwing knives
Phew--The cloak flipped and two more throwing knives shot at Owen, but like the previous three, it didn't have any effect at all
I'll see how many throwing knives you have left to throw Owen said
hum
The assassin raised his cloak again, and this time only a throwing knife shot out, but the target of the knife was not Owen, but the girl lying 3 or 4 meters away from Owen
Oh no, Owen hurriedly flew and pounced, catching the knife before it plunged into the girl's head
Almost at the same time, the Assassin Blair also rushed in the direction that Owen had pounced on - he ran straight to the stone wall, pulled out his wavy bronze dagger, Blair clenched the dagger in both hands to his chest, closed his eyes, and chanted a magical incantation that Owen could not understand - in the same posture as the Light Priest prayed with a cross
Just as Owen guessed his intentions, a strange dark green light flashed on the dagger, Blair picked up the dagger and swung it a few times in the air in front of him, only to see that in the space crossed by the dagger, a magic array composed of dark green light appeared, and from the magic array, there was a continuous mournful wail, Owen was surprised to see several transparent white shadows floating out of the magic array, rushing towards him
Owen punched the white shadows, but the fists passed directly through the white shadows as if they were hitting the air, and the white shadows quickly wrapped around Owen and burrowed into him one by one through the small wound in his left arm
This is what Owen was horrified
This is my 'Ghost Assassin' Blair's stunt - 'Soul Hunting' Blair sneered
Soul Hunt - Hear this new term, Owen, a flurry
Unexpectedly, I am not only an assassin, but also practiced dark magic, Blair raised the dagger with a proud expression, this dagger is called the 'Soul Blade', it is my supreme treasure, it is made of a bronze death knell that is more than 500 years old and has witnessed more than 10,000 funerals, melted and cast, and the breath of death is very strong. The 'Soul Blade' is blessed with a lot of magic, so that it can absorb the souls of the dead and become my Exorcist Spirit, and what is even more terrifying is that as long as the dagger causes any wound on your body, it will release the Exorcist Spirit inside from the wound and enter your body, and force your soul out of your body
You...... Unexpectedly, among the necromancers, there was such a figure of demonic and martial dual cultivation, and the methods were so vicious, Owen felt a very violent vibration from the depths of his soul, and it was obvious that the ghosts that had invaded his body had begun to pull his soul
You won't succeed, Owen shouted, he fought against the reckless ghosts in his body with extraordinary willpower, while stubbornly grasping all kinds of senses that were rapidly disappearing, and pressed towards Blair step by step, although Owen made every move extremely difficult, but he did not give up, just knocking down the dagger would interrupt his spell - this was the plan in Owen's mind, and the only way for him to get out of the predicament
No 8 detention spirits can suppress your soul, Owen's stubborn resistance surprised Blair, the first time he encountered an opponent with such strong willpower, then work harder and carnival together, Blair sent the soul blade forward, embedded in the center of the magic array, and the white ghosts flew out of the magic array in a steady stream, invading Owen's body from the wound
Even the strongest willpower of the soul could not withstand the pull of hundreds of souls, and was dragged out of the body by force, and finally when Owen moved less than 2 meters away from Blair, his body collapsed to the ground like a deflated leather bag.
