Chapter Forty-Eight
Due to the gradual fading of the glory of mages, coupled with the gradual decline of mages' status in this world, the number of people who want to become mages in this era is less than a fraction of the number of people who dream of becoming knights.
So duels between mages and warriors are not common.
Especially a master Sean who was strong enough to be a magister, and the assassin in front of him was regretting in his heart how he had chosen such a tricky opponent.
Isn't it true that mages are most afraid of melee combat?
But in front of Master Sean, this assassin who has a lot of experience in assassination tactics can't get a bargain at all, but he is dressed in black and has been cut several times by the wind blade released by Sean, but fortunately, the assassin's reaction is also agile, otherwise he would have hung up in front of Sean's arcane at this time.
Through observation, Xiu Yin found that in fact, Master Sean's figure did not move, but the wind shield on his left hand and the wind blade released by his right hand from time to time were particularly exquisite.
"This is the actual combat experience gained after countless battles!"
Xiu Yin was right, Master Sean relied on his actual combat experience with warriors, and the assassins were very unaccustomed to the mage's combat methods, which led to Sean's advantage being particularly obvious.
The three Assassins were entangled with Lynn Kov, Killok, and Sean, while the remaining two Assassins were much more relaxed in front of the Marquis of Fair's guard.
The bodies of two more marquis' guards lay on the ground, and Fell let out a frightened exclamation, and even the guards standing in front of him looked terrified.
The difference in strength is too big!
This scene also surprised Xiu Yin, the Marquis's guards should all be warriors with soul power at level 4 to 5, but they were so passive in the face of two assassins, and the strength of the assassins should be far superior to these guards.
Xiu Yin swallowed his saliva and felt the little soul power left in his body, "If those two assassins solve the Marquis of Fair, maybe they will immediately turn around and deal with Master Sean......"
Xiu Yin and these people on the VIP stage, including Marquis Fell and Lynn Cove, did not have too deep feelings, but for Master Sean, perhaps out of a kind of sympathy for this kind of people who were a minority of major spiritual powers, Xiu Yin decided to make a move.
Originally, he wanted to use the small crossbow in his left arm, but after thinking about it again, he decided not to expose this killer weapon too early, and looked at the short sword in his hand, which was obviously not a suitable weapon for Xiuyin.
Then the remaining way of attack is magic.
"The remaining soul power is estimated to be enough to release a lethal fireball technique...... "Xiu Yin changed his left hand to hold the short sword, and his right hand was free to prepare for the casting of the fireball technique.
Fireball is not a spell with a high-speed attack trajectory, and Xiuin needs to get some distance.
Under the cover of the smoke, Xiu Yin quietly walked around a distance to the two assassins who were attacking the Marquis' Guard, and when their backs could be seen, Xiu Yin condensed his spiritual power into the palm of his right hand.
Xiuyin's soul power of the Heavenly Fire attribute quickly began to materialize into a flame entity in the palm of his hand.
In just an instant, a fireball condensed with Xiu Yin's level 2 soul power appeared in his palm, and the blazing fireball made Xiu Yin feel a blazing sensation on his face.
This was followed by a standard grenade throwing motion, with Xiun throwing the fireball at the two Assassins with his back to him at the same time that the fireball in his right hand appeared.
Xiu Yin chose to attack the Assassin on the left, first left and then right, and Xiu Yin would not worry about this kind of target selection. In some of the labyrinth forks encountered in RPGs in the original world, Xiu Yin would not hesitate to choose to go to the left first.
Whew-
With a slight whistling sound, a fireball slammed into the back of the Assassin who had unfortunately been chosen by Xiu.
"Ahh
The black clothes burst into flames, sending the assassin a scream of pain.
This sound immediately attracted the attention of the remaining four assassins, and their faces were a little surprised to see their companion being attacked, but then one of the assassins who was fighting with Master Sean quickly ran to the companion who was attacked by Xiuin, and after slashing the clothes on the burning back, although the flames were extinguished, they could see that the companion's back was already charred.
The Assassins were obviously very cooperative, and the Assassin who was holding his companion quickly left the VIP table, and disappeared into the smoke outside with a few dodges with his companion.
"Humph!"
The assassin, who was trembling with Lynkov, let out a cold snort. Xiu Yin's sudden appearance surprised him a little, but after looking at the corpses of several royal envoys on the ground, he judged that this assassination operation was over.
The short knife in his hand suddenly exerted force, forcibly shaking Lynkov away, and then shouted at the remaining two assassins, "Withdraw!"
This assassin was supposed to be their leader, and when they heard the leader order to retreat, the other two did not dare to slack off, and almost at the same time, they burst out with a force far beyond what they had just exerted, fighting for their own opportunity and jumping backwards.
The retreat of the assassins relieved the guards in front of the Marquis of Fair, and less than half of the original more than ten guards were left at this time.
The Marquis of Fair's panicked countenance slowly regained its former majesty when he saw the Assassins begin to retreat.
"You just want to run away like that?!"
When Killok saw that the assassin in front of him was about to slip away, he refused to let it go easily, and jumped after him to catch up.
Sou!
Just as Killok's gaze locked on the retreating Assassin, a short knife that emerged from the smoke was thrown directly at the Marquis of Fair.
"Suffer!" Killok exclaimed, his body still leaping in mid-air, and he saw the knife when it came out, but it was too late to change his body to pick it off.
"Woo!"
Marquis Fell screamed even more at this time, shaking the fat on his face, a life-threatening throwing knife in his field of vision was about to slash his head, and the guards around him had already relaxed when they saw the assassin's retreat, and they had no time to protect Marquis Fair's body.
Just when everyone thought things were going to get out of hand, a small shadow caught up with the dagger that had been thrown at it from diagonally behind.
Bang!
The dagger was hit in the air by the tiny shadow, and the attack line shifted somewhat.
Syllable!
The short knife was thrust into the wooden pillar next to the head of the Marquis of Fair, and the handle of the knife was still trembling, and at this time, the lower body of the Marquis of Fell had begun to appear with a liquid with a commotion.
Marquis Fell was fine, which made Kirok breathe a sigh of relief, if the newly promoted Marquis died at the hands of the assassins, there might be unforeseen turmoil in the Starlight Kingdom......
"But......" Killok turned, his gaze shining through some of the smoke from which a tiny black shadow had come from and the fireball from before.
There, Killok saw the red-haired boy sitting on the ground.
The boy was holding his left arm flat, and in that arm, Killok saw a small, delicate crossbow.
The boy who saved the Marquis, Killok had already remembered his name, Xiuin.
