Chapter 18: ?
After Ace entered the forest, his body seemed to melt into the shadows, and every time he appeared, people mistakenly thought that he was using a space spell.
But it's just a magical visual deception, using light and shadow to hide itself and distract enemies when moving at high speeds.
Anyone who can use this technique must have undergone rigorous Assassin training.
In the division of professions, they can basically be divided into four categories: spellcasters, warriors, assassins, and scholars.
Depending on the function, there are also quite a few branch branches within each class category.
There are three branches of Assassins: regular Assassins who specialize in killing, hunters who face monsters, and thieves who do information gathering and certain stealing tasks.
At this moment, Ace turned into an imperceptible figure, grabbing a dark but sharp dagger and moving rapidly through the woods.
His eyes were full of excitement for the hunt, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and after a while, he caught up with several professionals who were not as fast as him.
Those people were all knocked down by the fireball and fled into the forest, all of them were more or less wounded, and they did not move very fast.
Coupled with the fact that they kept looking behind them and didn't find any pursuers, they were even more relaxed, and the two people walking side by side even chatted as they fled.
"Gang, just who are those?"
"Don't you even know that flag?! You're not from Greystone! ”
"If it's from Greystone City, do you have to know it!"
"That's the Myrdarda family......"
Poof!
One man's words came to an abrupt halt, his throat was sliced open by a sharp dagger, his eyes were dazed and fearful, and his body staggered and ran a few more steps before he fell to the ground.
"Hey ?!!" The other didn't hear what was going on, and sensed that something was wrong, and turned his head to look, and his vision only caught the grim smile of Ace in the shadows.
Poof!
One more person was solved.
Shout!
Before Ace could enjoy the thrill of slicing his throat with a single blow, he caught a slender object flying rapidly out of the corner of his eye, and when he turned sideways, his other hand quickly reached out and grabbed a flying arrow.
The magic attached to the arrow dissipated, and Ace looked in the direction where the arrow was flying.
More than sixty meters away, next to a tree, a man with dark green hair glanced at Ace, and then quickly put away his hunting bow and turned to run away.
"Hunter! Hey...... Now it's prey! ”
Pinching off the arrow in his hand, Ace's figure turned into an unpredictable shadow again, chasing after the fleeing hunter in front of him.
The dark green-haired hunter's expression was very bad, his perception was keen, and he had already discovered him when Ace made a move, and the arrow that turned around let him know that the opponent's strength would definitely not be lower than the silver intermediate level!
He's just a hunter who has been stuck in the bronze level for a long time, and he can't fight an assassin who is good at assassination, and if his short knife is still around, he might be able to use his familiarity with the forest......
But he doesn't know which bastard took his knife!
Woohoo!
As they leap from tree trunk to tree, the Hunter also occasionally shoots an arrow into the shadows behind them, which is used to slow down their opponents' movements.
Assassins who move at high speed are very conspicuous in front of hunter professionals with keen perception, and hunters of the same rank should be able to restrain assassins, but this subtle restraint relationship is not worth mentioning in the face of the gap in a large realm.
A higher level represents more mana, and more mana equals higher endurance and richer skills!
Between the hunter and Ace, there are several people who are on the run.
They were aware of the movement between the hunter and Ace, and knew that an enemy was chasing them from behind, so they were able to flee faster.
As Ace walked, he harvested the lives of those who escaped, and the smile on his face became more and more playful.
The hunter's bow and arrow are numbered, but the distance between Ace and him behind him is still narrowing, and he no longer has hope in his heart to deal with Ace.
After a short confrontation, the gap in the combat power of the two sides was revealed, Ace was stronger than the hunter first thought, at least the silver level, stop and whirl, and within three faces, he might be blocked by a dagger.
The hunter can only shoot arrows backwards while running, and then run faster than the few people around him!
But why did the two people in front of them run so fast?
Xiang En and Andrea ran all the way, and after having an experience between life and death, this time they were particularly comfortable running in the forest.
The movement not far behind them naturally attracted the attention of the two of them, and when they looked back, they saw that the dark green-haired hunter professional was engaged with an assassin with a erratic figure.
Ace raised and dropped his knife, and as a result, the appearance of those who were also running into the forest made Xiang En and Andrea feel a heavy pressure.
The other party is at least a silver-level assassin!
The pursuit of a silver-level assassin will put more pressure on them than the eighth-order forbidden technique in De'er City, and the flood will treat everyone equally, but this assassin will specifically target them.
Blessing of the Wind!
Xiang En cast the Wind Blessing twice more, then turned sideways to the right side of the forest, changing the direction of escape, and Andrea on the side followed without a word.
Whether it was Ace or the hunter behind them, both of them saw their turn, but neither of them paid attention to it.
Because the battle between them continues, Ace wants to turn the hunter into prey, and the hunter wants to stay alive and is using his brain.
However, the gap in hard power will be difficult to make up for after all.
After the hunter shoots the last arrows that can be used, there are only five arrows left in the quiver, these five arrows are the quenched arrows that he will not use unless he has to, if he can't use these five arrows to kill Ace, he will explain here today.
At this point, he thought that his family in the town might have been turned into corpses, and the hunter's desire to survive was filled with hatred, and finally his speed slowed down......
In the cat-and-mouse scene of chasing and fleeing, Ace has killed all the "mice" who are not as fast as him, and now there is only the last one left.
His footsteps stopped, and he looked at the hunter in front of him, who had also stopped, with a playful gaze, and teased: "Run, why don't you run?" I haven't had enough of it! ”
The hunter's eyes were fixed on Ace, and he made up his mind to ask, "Were the people of Fusen Town killed by you?" ”
"Oh?" Ace, who seemed to be calm, really thought about it for a while, but he finally shook his head and said with a smile: "Who knows, all towns are going to be destroyed anyway, who will remember what is destined to disappear!" You reminded me, time, I don't want to be nagged......"
After saying this, Ace's body suddenly disappeared into the deep forest, and the sound of squirming provoked the sudden call of the hunter.
The smell of blood!
The hunter's pupils shrank, and the smell of blood at hand made his tense body flash and roll forward.
Swish!
The swarthy dagger slashed through the back of his neck, cutting a wound that was neither deep nor shallow.
Ace, who withdrew from invisibility, showed a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to have some ability, it's a pity!" ”
As the words fell, Ace's figure disappeared again, unlike the last time he disappeared with small sounds everywhere, after this disappearance, all the sounds around him disappeared, giving the forest a terrifying silence.
After the hunter who rolled out stood up, although his target was already lost from view, his sense of smell from years of hunting made him aware of the anomaly.
Bend your bow and arrows quickly, and the poisoned arrows shoot upwards to the left.
A faint white mist splashed in the void, and arrows flew through them, piercing into the branches of a tree.
Poof!
Once again, Ace's form flashed through the void, and the dagger slashed through the hunter's jaw, bringing out a small amount of blood.
"Tsk!"
With a missed blow, Ace once again showed the caution of an assassin, disappearing and retreating.
After narrowly dodging Ace's attack again, the hunter bent his bow again and fired an arrow in the direction of the strong smell of blood.
The moment the arrow flew out, the hunter's hand quickly drew the arrow again like an afterimage, kicked the ground with his foot, and jumped forward like a spring.
The man turned in the air, and the hunter gritted his teeth, and aimed the arrow in his hand at the dagger that had just emerged from behind him, and fired an arrow.
Ace didn't seem to expect the hunter's movements to react so quickly, the dark dagger stained with blood was shot down by the arrow, and his body was also detached from the state of invisibility, and his face still maintained a stunned expression.
When the hunter landed, he quickly bent his bow and arrow, intending to shoot another arrow at Ace.
Poof!
Just as he was about to carry it out, the illusion in front of him vanished into a cloud of smoke, and a dagger pierced his heart from behind.
The hand holding the dagger that appeared behind the hunter stirred back and forth, and his tone was playful, "Old hunter! That's a lot of cleverness! ”
Feeling the colic in his heart, the bow and arrow in the hunter's hand fell weakly, and his body trembled slightly, but a comfortable smile appeared on Ace's face, and his throat was accompanied by blood, and he spit out a few words softly: "I, I will let you be buried with ......"
Ace was trained professionally, and even though the hunter's voice was weak, he could hear him.
Instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to pull back, but noticed a strange sound coming from the back of his head!
When he turned his head, he saw an arrow approaching rapidly, and it was the poisoned arrow that the hunter had just shot.
That's it?
Seeing this arrow, Ace was disdainful, and what kind of powerful means did this person think would this person be able to pull him to the end with this little trick, right?
It's ridiculous!
Just when Ace's attention was attracted by the arrow, the hunter's collar shot out a small gray snake, which bit Ace at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
The arrow is just a disguise, and the real killing move is actually a bronze high-grade poisonous snake raised on the body by the hunter!
When the poisonous snake ejected out, Ace was really shocked this time, even he didn't expect that this hunter actually raised a bronze high-grade poisonous snake, and dared to hide it on his body.
In a hurry, the magic power on Ace's body exploded, and he stepped on the ground and wanted to dodge to the side, but found that it was too late!
He had no choice but to flip his wrist and shoot out the dagger that had drawn out the hunter's heart with a large amount of magic power, and the dagger without a pause penetrated the body of the little snake, killing the little snake that was only fatal to the poison.
The recovered poisoned arrows arrived at this moment, piercing the hunter's back.
After this thrilling operation, Ace got up from the ground in a slightly embarrassed way, but his face still had a tingling sensation.
When I reached out and touched it, two tiny pinholes appeared on my face, which were constantly oozing blood......
"Damn ......"
Ace, looking ugly, got up and kicked the hunter's corpse several meters away, then took out a potion from his pocket that was contained in a crystal bottle and drank it, glanced at the hunter's corpse with resentment, and then chased in the direction where En and Andrea had fled.
He had to fight quickly, and if his arms and legs were bitten by a poisonous snake, he could calmly kill the last man and woman.
But the location of the snake's bite is the face, which is very close to the brain, and the potion can only suppress the toxins close to the brain, if he doesn't want to damage the brain or the function of the five senses, Ace must go back and ask the therapist to help him clean up the toxins!
This time he was careless!
