The port of Monis City is located in the southwest of the city, far from the location of the "Ghost Kiss", and when the sound of the explosion is heard, although it still sounds clear in the quiet of the night, it is far from imagining the tragedy and shock of the scene.

Between the mountains of goods in the port, a group of people gathered, a total of 9 men and 1 woman, all dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, as if waiting for passengers on a passenger ship overnight, but if you look closely, the only woman among them, her hands kept together in front of her, her wrists are bound by a strip of cloth similar to the color of the floral dress on her body, and the men around her are guarding her step by step.

Elizabeth became a captive of the group, and she could not escape alone, a weak woman. The explosion in the city tugged at her heart, and she probably knew what it was about. Elizabeth's eyes were fixed on the direction from which the explosion had come, and she was worried about someone, but she could do nothing but look and worry.

As the minutes ticked by, the sky began to get a little brighter. At this time, on the sea, a ship was slowly approaching the harbor with its lights flashing rhythmically.

"Here comes the ship, Miss Elizabeth. It's useless for you to look through the autumn water, that man has already been blown to pieces. Let's go. A man in a large felt hat urged, he was the leader of the nine.

The words of the "big felt hat" sounded polite on the surface, but the movements of his hands were extremely rude, and he took Elizabeth's slender arm without mercy, and then pushed her in the direction of the sea; Elizabeth staggered forward and let out a snort of "um", but she could not resist, and could only be at the mercy of the man with the big felt hat and forcibly dragged to the secret docked ship.

At this moment, a sailor emerged from the ship and beckoned to the shore. Nine men held Elizabeth hostage and sped up to trot towards the boat.

Suddenly, there was a short "whoosh" in the cold air, and then I saw that the sailor had an arrow stuck in his head at some point, and then his body slid and fell into the water with a "porphy".

The nine men on the shore were in a hurry, and before they could figure out what was happening, a second arrow came at them. But this time the arrow did not hit anyone, but the hull itself.

"Boom ......"

At the moment when the arrow came into contact with the hull, the explosive agent tied to the arrow was detonated, and the violent detonation tore the ship to pieces in an instant, and a sky-high fire burst out on the sea.

"I've heard that the killers of the 'Night Stalkers' are haunted, but in my opinion, they are famous. Actually, you're not too hard to find. ”

The sudden sneer startled the nine men, and they all turned their heads to see a thin black young man with a longbow in his left hand less than 50 meters behind them, looking down at them with a lofty gaze.

"Joica!" Elizabeth cried out in joy. By the light of the fire, Elizabeth could clearly see that although Joyka had been disgraced by the explosion, she did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries.

The corners of Joika's mouth went up, and a chilling smile swept over her. He is a man who has revenge, and since the other party uses an explosion to deal with him, then he must return the favor with the other way, and return the gift with the explosion.

Rewind the clock to 20 minutes ago......

"Oh no! Run!"

Cassius, who sensed the abnormality, immediately issued a warning, but it was still too late, and before he finished his words, dozens of bottles of explosive ** that were buried around the "Ghost Kiss" were instantly detonated, and the scorching heat and strong shock wave generated shattered and devoured a tangible object in its reach. It was not only the small casino itself that was affected, but also several houses next to it, which were blown up in an instant along with the sleeping residents inside, and not only that, but the nearby houses within a radius of 100 meters were also shattered in the powerful shock wave, and the walls shook like a wail.

The still alive residents rushed out of their houses, all asleep before fleeing their dilapidated homes, many of them completely naked and wearing no clothes, and a very small number of wealthy people in their pajamas, who were believed to be scurrying around like headless flies. The foreign war caused the merchant country to devote a large amount of military power to the southern battlefields, and even the troops guarding the capital were drawn out of a large number, and there were not enough troops to maintain order, which made the chaotic situation even worse. At first, a few people spontaneously went to fight the fire, but when they saw that the scene was getting worse and worse, they also threw down their pots and plates and joined the ranks of disorderly escape.

The citizens didn't know why the explosion happened, they just knew to run for their lives before the second explosion.

At the center of the explosion, the location of the original "Ghost Kiss" can no longer be seen from the small casino before. In this purgatory-like place, there will be no living creature unless there is a strange story. However, the culprit who caused this explosion did not know that the opponent he had to face was a group of people who were constantly creating miracles!

Not having time to run away doesn't mean you can't do anything. Although Sophia had learned to use her consciousness to actively summon Valkyrie weapons, the function of Vagley's Soul when it was placed in Sophia's body by St. Angel had not been lost, which was to protect Sophia when she was dying. Almost at the same time as the flames of the explosion erupted, the armor of the Valkyrie also covered Sophia's body, plus Alvette was originally a Valkyrie who was good at dominating flames, and she had extremely high resistance to any fire attribute attacks, resisting most of the explosion damage for Sophia. Moreover, Sophia also used her shield and battle robe in time to combine with the light protection magic she had learned to form a tight defensive shield, protecting her two companions from it. Therefore, Sophia, Joyka, and Cassius only suffered a little shock wave impact damage, and they did not break their muscles and bones.

However, I don't know if it was because the Valkyrie's soul was not fully formed in a hurry, or if it absorbed too much explosive energy, and after saving the lives of the three people, the battle robe shattered in an instant, and the shield and armor began to fall apart.

When the three of them walked out of the fire, the crisis was far from over, because in the nearby bombed-up or crumbling houses and alleys, dozens of masked killers rushed out one after another, and they surrounded the three of them with various killing tools.

"Damn! Not only did they plot against us with explosions, but they also set up so many ambushes. Sophia said with a frown.

She had to fight quickly, because with the Valkyrie being armed now, she couldn't sustain a battle for too long, and could disintegrate into a magical form at any time.

"Looks like that's the style of the 'Night Stalker', hmph, it's really cautious. Joyka sneered.

The assassination group "Night Stalkers" will not put all their eggs in the same basket every mission, they will prepare multiple backup plans first, and when one plan fails, they will activate the second plan until the target is finally killed.

Faced with the approaching killer, Cassius increased the magic power injected into the magic wand: "Sophia, Joyka, you help me stall for time, I want to use a big magic to solve them." ”

"No, Sophia is the only one who protects the fat man. Joyka refused.

"What?" Sophia was a little surprised.

"There's a place I have to go there right away. You guys help me get out of the way!"

"Hey!" "Wait!"

......

Without waiting for a response from her two companions, Joyka soared out like an arrow from a string. Leave a whole bunch of trouble for the two companions to wipe their butts.

"How did this guy escape?" the man in the big felt hat shuddered as Joika's appearance was unexpected.

Joyka didn't answer, he just silently hung the longbow back on his back, and then drew his longsword from his waist, still with a mocking sneer on his face.

"Kill him!"

The man in the big felt hat gave the order, and the eight men quickly moved their positions, and at some point they had more weapons in their hands, and rushed towards Joyka from each of the eight directions.

These eight men, unlike the other Assassins who were besieging Sophia and Cassius on the other side of the fire, were all warriors guarding the leader's side, indicating that they were all the best of the best.

However, they didn't notice that there was an invisible aura around Joyka at this time. Joyka broke through alone, not without resistance, and on the way to the port, he encountered many volleys along the way, and even the bottle of explosives that he had just shot from the corpse of an enemy after killing him. The continuous battle, coupled with the anger of the mood, made his battle spirit burn to the limit, and now, it is he who has just learned and has not experienced actual combat to make a good test!

Joyka ran forward, but less than 10 meters away, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The eight elites froze for a moment, but before they could have any thoughts, Joika's form flashed behind one of them, then slashed a sword, and then suddenly disappeared, flashing behind the other...... In this way, Joyka flashed between the eight people, and in just a tenth of a second, Joyka had slashed eight swords at each of the eight people, and finally, his figure flashed back to the same place, and blood was dripping from the blade of the sword that hung downward.

Then, a canopy of blood pillars gushed out from the necks of the eight elites, and in the successive screams, the eight people fell one after another, lost blood, went into shock, and died. Although some of them also counterattacked Joika, it is unknown whether it was because Joika's speed was too fast, or if the main body was not in the same dimension at all, and these counterattacks failed to hit Joika.

"This, this ......" The man in the big felt hat was even more frightened than before, he knew the strength of these eight subordinates, it was a combat power that even the royal knights could not fight against, how could he not be shocked when he was killed in such a simple instant?

However, he soon saw the root cause: Joika's terrifying move could not be used continuously, although he had never seen it, but it was almost certain that it was a war spirit skill, once the war spirit skill was used, the war spirit would be quickly consumed, and from Joika's gradually heavier breathing, the "big felt hat" could hear that it was responsible for Joyka's body after the war spirit disappeared;

Without hesitation, he immediately flashed behind Elizabeth's back and flashed a dagger around her pink neck.

"If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill her. The man in the big felt hat stared at Joyka with a fierce gaze and coldly threatened
