Chapter 40: Fishing

The mountains by the lake are covered with red maple trees, giving off the scent of autumn.

A wild boar emerges from among the fallen leaves.

Scream!

"This is the first one. ”

Wild boars are level 50 animals. They have a charge skill and can slam enemies with their molars.

Conou drew his magic sword. Edel followed, casting a spell and his voice was gloomy.

The boar kicked up the dust and rushed up, its body glittering and wrapped in a blue shield.

This is the effect of its charge skill!

However, Edel finished casting the spell before he could make contact.

Father!

He summoned the bones and used them to stick to the boar's front legs.

It is a bone binding technique that summons bones to restrict the movement of enemies.

Because of the bones, the boar lost its sense of balance and fell forward.

hole

It rolled its heavy body from side to side, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Cono pointed a knife at the tied boar.

Come on!

Scream!

The pig screamed, and Conou only stabbed him again.

Fragments of red light fell from the stab like glass.

Eventually, Eder created a sharp bone spear, which he then grabbed and threw at the pig.

Burst!

The bone spear hit the target

"Let's turn it into experience. ”

And Conou also followed his own attack.

Darkness struck, and the black waves that followed, ravaged the boar.

Light!

Before the warthog could launch a proper attack, it turned into a gray corpse.

[You defeat a wild boar.] ]

[Attribute stolen in Dark Strike.] ]

[Physics 1]

This is a clear result

Wild boars are level 50 animals

And Con's level is level 70, while Ed is as powerful as level 80.

The gap between them is so great that facing them means a quick death.

However.

"Hmm. A little uncomfortable

After collecting the garbage, Con felt as if something had been dropped, so he took a look at his surroundings.

Nothing particularly suspicious

"Hmm. ”

Conou tilted his head and continued walking.

After a while

The two men, who had been watching Conou and Eder in the forest, spoke.

"He has good judgment," Hart said.

"That's true. Or he may have a class with reconnaissance skills.

"Probably not. They are definitely a pair of level 80 swordsmen and necromancers. ”

He and Itar are at 105 and 103 respectively. Level 80 enemies are suitable prey for them.

"Then he might have some kind of testing program. Whatever the case may be, we should pay more careful attention to them from now on.

"If we have the chance, we'll take out the necromancer first," Harter said.

A wizard's spell is annoying, so they decide to take out this wizard first.

"Okay. ”

It was all over, and the two disappeared in an instant.

Their class: Assassins!

This is a shadow-tracing technique that allows them to track targets without being detected.

The lake and marsh mountains are home to a variety of monsters and animals.

In terms of animals, there are wild boars, wolves, rabbits, tigers, etc.

As far as monsters are concerned, the bipedal dog-faced monster wielding simple weapons such as stone axes or stone spears, also known as frozen dogs, is the most common in the mountains.

They are divided into groups of five to ten, and these frozen dogs are rated between 60 and 80.

If you only think about the level, they are a good match for Conou and Eder.

But in fact, if they really have to fight Con'ou and Eder, they won't have a chance.

Just like it's happening now

Woo, woo!

The frozen dog barked like a monster with a dog's face.

"Shut up. ”

Con frowned and pointed his sword at the frozen dog's face.

people

The frozen, struck dog, flew into the air and subsequently rolled to the floor.

Call!

Make a short, shrieked sound!

Seeing their friend hurt only further irritates the dogs, who start barking louder.

However, this only lasted for a moment.

Edel raised his thin arm and dispersed a black wave.

It's a curse of silence that will dumb their voices!

This curse is very effective. It completely suppressed the dog's barking.

"Oh, that's great. ”

Cono smiled. As expected, Ed was indeed useful.

Unable to speak, one of the frozen dogs swung his stone axe at Conou, whose face was filled with anger.

Two other frozen dogs stabbed their spears in its side, aiming at Conou's side.

Cono gracefully dodged the stone axes and spears.

[Side Attributes, Dodge Upgrade]

[Escape 1]

[Reach 100 dodge stat.] You can now dodge faster and more powerful attacks more easily. ]

Cono can avoid most attacks through a combination of hyper-intuition, experience and senses, dodge skills, and dodge attributes.

By doing so, the dodge attribute increased rapidly and has reached 100.

Con Ou felt that his body was lighter than before, so he finished eating the frozen dog.

The frozen dog, unable to utter even a single cry due to the silent incantation, poured one or two at a time.

The last dog was stabbed to death by a bone spear thrown by Eder, ending its short life.

And so, the battle was over

Conou, picking up the trash, walked over to Ed and whispered, "Someone or something here." ”

During their pursuit, Conou sensed something unpleasant.

It's like the uncomfortable feeling Ed had when he was behind him.

"What do you mean?"

Edel lowered his voice.

"I think someone is going to attack us from behind, so be vigilant. ”

He didn't know who or where they were, but Conou trusted his instincts.

After all, it's called hyperintuitive for a reason.

"I understand. ”

"Let's take a break from finding the hidden dungeon. We want to trick them into showing it, and then we punish them. ”

"Okay. ”

Con'ou and Eder are on the move again. Stopping, Ita quietly followed them.

Conou and Eder roam around the mountains by the lake, killing all sorts of monsters.

In doing so, Con deliberately exposed himself to danger and even showed his back, but standing still, Ita did not move carelessly.

The reason why they don't act is simple.

"He's a lot stronger than I thought he was. ”

"It's not easy. ”

After a pause, Ita exchanged glances.

Because Con'ou and Ed's abilities are top-notch, they can't do it on a whim.

Kang Ou could only frown

He continued to feel uncomfortable, but they didn't take the bait.

Even so, he didn't want to look around to remind them.

"Then I'll go, so you can't help but come out. ”

Conou takes Ed to a clearing. He didn't forget to whisper along the way.

"When I talk to you, you say 'yes.'" ”

"Okay. ”

Once in the clearing, Con Au began to act.

"Whew. Should we stop here?" asked Conou.

He spoke loudly

"Okay. ”

As ordered, Ed replied "Good".

"I've got a return scroll, let's go. ”

"Okay. ”

Cono pulled out a scroll engraved with a magic circle from his inventory.

It was a scroll with an ice sapphire spell in it, which he had obtained from Saroba.

But Eta who stopped and looked at them was like a rewind.

"What should we do?" asked Ital.

'We have to attack. If we don't, we're wasting our time. ”

Hart pulled out a dagger. The blade itself is straight, whereas the blade is curved and reddish in color.

That's a deadly dagger!

This is a high-level item that, upon landing, poisons enemies with an incredibly powerful poison on hit.

Itar also pulled out a dagger.

This is an epic weapon called the Ambush Dagger.

If their attack succeeds, they will be deadly no matter what happens.

"Let's go. ”

Halt rushed out, and Ita followed closely behind.

"They're finally out!"

Conou's eyes sparkled

Because both Conou and Eder are located in a place without any cover, Stat and Ita are forced to expose themselves.

In other words, they failed to ambush them, which was the Assassins' specialty!

"Are we going to take care of the rats?"

Cono held his sword

"Alright," Ed muttered sullenly, black energy rising from his hands.

It is an aging curse that reduces all abilities of your opponent.

But Stop and Itar are the ones who killed several other users, and they are by no means easy opponents.

"Stop, stop!" Itar said.

Halter nodded and threw three daggers at Eder.

"There is no chance. ”

Conou stood in front of Edel and deflected the incoming dagger.

Clank! Clank!

At the same time, Itar appeared in front of Conou.

Itar gripped the dagger behind his back and swung it downward. He was aiming for Conou's heart!Ita's dagger began to glow with a red aura.

It's an assassin's skill, a critical blow!

They failed to ambush Conou and Eder, but they were setting themselves up with a huge advantage.

However, Itar underestimated Conou too much.

Conou only stepped back slightly, easily dodging Itar's attack.

Rustle

The sound of its dagger splitting in the air.

He completely missed it

Cono immediately fought back

The magic sword tore him in half and slashed him from one end to the other.

Slash!

He quickly threw his body away from Conou's attack.

Conou's blade crossed the place he had been.

Itar breathed a sigh of relief when he rolled to the floor.

If he is caught by the Demon Sword, then he will be incredibly damaged.

When Ed stopped, Cono and Ita exchanged fists.

Rustle

Halt wielded his dagger, forcing Edel to stop casting his ancient curse and retreat.

In the battle between ordinary mages and assassins, the assassins had the upper hand. If the assassin gets closer, then it's all over for the mage.

However, Ed is definitely not a normal mage.

Because he has a skeleton, he can quickly cast bone magic.

Edel cast a spell, and his voice was gloomy and immediately bound to bone!

Hart's wrists and ankles were bound to bone, so he quickly cut them off with a dagger and retreated.

Then, as the distance between them grew, Halt was able to see Eder properly.

"This guy is a skeleton!" he cried out in surprise.

When he took a closer look at Ed's robes, he noticed that he only had one skull.

Edel moved his jawbone in triumph, his teeth clattering. Of course, he cast another spell!

"Stop, catch me!" shouted Itar, who was messing with Conou.

As soon as he heard the news, he controlled himself and rushed over.

Holt swings his dagger downward, but Eder creates a bone shield that stops Holt's attack.

At the same time, Conou aimed at Itar's chest.

Itar didn't dare to stop anymore and rolled to the ground.

Conou hurriedly stuck his sword on the ground.

By doing so, he activated the necklace's special ability, Earth Fragments, and a large number of fragments poured into Itar.

"Ahh

Fragments hit directly

They didn't do much damage, but it was still quite effective, as the Assassin class had poor defense.

"This is my chance!"

Con Au kicked off the floor.

He jumped into the air and put all his weight behind the sword.

His goal? is obvious, Ita!

If Itar had not avoided this attack, then 9 out of 10 would have been over for him.

"Itar, use the emergency escape device!" shouted from a stand, and Ita reined herself.

Emergency Escape is an assassin skill that can be used when they are in danger, and it basically helps them escape from any danger.

Once he uses the emergency escape, Ita is sucked into his shadow.

At the same time, Conou struck

Light!

Dust rises, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

"I didn't feel anything. ”

Unfortunately, Itar's emergency escape was successful.

"Ahh ”

While Halter was busy worrying about Ita, Ed managed to tie him up with a bone, clutching his ankle tightly.

He lost his balance and fell to the ground, forcing himself to make an emergency escape, and he fled in his shadow.

In the forest near the clearing...

Itar made an emergency escape as he grabbed Holt's hand and pulled him out of the shadows.

"We can't beat them," Itar said.

"Yes, let's run. ”

Halt had already pulled half of his body out of the shadows, and he agreed.

However..

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Conou, having determined their position, stomped on Halt's back.

"You idiot!" Conou cursed.
