The moment the black-clad assassin raised his hand, Sean's hairs stood on end, and the Grim Reaper's scythe seemed to be on top of his head, and driven by fear, he quickly unleashed another spell in his staff.

"Apprentice Runes with Magic - Wall of Bones"

The brilliance of the spell shone brightly, and before the flying dagger pierced Sean's chest, a wall of bones was finally manifested in front of Sean, blocking the dagger's assassination.

Shortly after the tip of the dagger sank into the wall of bones, pure black flames instantly ignited from within, enveloping the entire wall in an unstoppable motion.

There was no heat as Sean had guessed, but an extremely uncomfortable chill that scorched the walls of bones under the scorching of pure black flames, turning into a mess of powder.

The moment the wall of bones was broken, Sean saw that the assassin had turned into a black light, breaking through the windows of the dining room and leaping out of the room, slowly disappearing.

The dagger fell directly to the ground due to the damage to the wall, and it collided with the ground with a crisp sound.

"Apprentice Spell - Deflection Force Field"

"Apprentice Spell - Mana Shield"

Sean did not let his guard down, but continued to use protective spells, after all, no one knew if the assassin would kill a horse pistol.

If you relax your mind because the enemy disappears, it is completely a death search for a mage.

After using the defensive spell, Sean used a reconnaissance spell to check the surroundings several times, and finally confirmed that the assassin had gone away.

"Damn it!" Sean struck the ground with his staff and cursed indignantly.

Because he lost the lead at the beginning of the battle, even if he was far stronger than this assassin after equipping the staff, there was no way to keep him.

The entire floor has been destroyed by the battle between the two, of course, most of the damage is caused by the vines summoned by Sean, but in Sean's eyes, this account has been counted on the man in black.

Thankfully, however, he was not in vain, as the Assassin escaped, but the dagger he threw fell on Sean.

The final blow of this dagger burst out made Sean feel palpitations, obviously a good baby.

Sean had no intention of continuing the pursuit, it was not easy to capture or kill an assassin who was trying his best to escape, not to mention that this was still in Hogle City, where there were too many places to cover for that guy.

He was in a bad mood and was attacked for no apparent reason, and after a fight, he didn't even know what the assassin looked like, so he let him escape.

There was a faint noise above the stairs, and Sean frowned, sensing that someone was coming down the stairs.

Several ordinary-looking maids poked their heads out tremblingly, and only walked up to Sean with their heads down when they realized that the danger had been removed.

Estelle leaned against the table, clutching her chest in fear.

The sudden battle almost affected her, and until now, her heart was still pounding, and there was no way to calm down her emotions.

Sean ignored them, but took out the combination potion (5) and the combination potion (10) from his pocket and poured it down.

The fight he used just now had already reduced his mana to about ten points, whether it was the Finger of Death or the spells that came with those two staffs, the consumption brought to Sean was not small.

A level 9 mage has a total of 26 volts of mana, and that assassin can fight against Sean for so long before he loses, and the professional level must be very high.

As for the origin of this man, Sean could guess with his toes that it must be that the nobles who were not used to Satuq's cooperation with Sean and sent to assassinate him.

As a professional, the law can no longer restrain him to a certain extent, but in the same way, the law cannot restrain his enemies.

Obviously, Satuk's deterrent power is not as great as Sean imagined, and those hostile forces can't make Sean change his mind, so they try to make him disappear directly while he is still weak.

Thankfully, they didn't know that Sean had created a staff of reincarnation a few days earlier, and that Sean's staff was so powerful, so they made the wrong judgment and just let an apprentice-level assassin assassinate him.

If Sean hadn't had the help of the Staff of Reincarnation, or had not used the Burst of Potential spell to enhance his insight in advance, he might have died at the hands of the Assassins.

As for why those nobles didn't send out the apprenticeship, this is a very simple question.

Although Hogel City is large, there are only dozens of apprentice-level powerhouses.

In such a short period of time, they definitely didn't have time to find strange apprentice-level powerhouses to deal with Sean, and if they let those apprentice-level powerhouses they worshiped make a move, most of them would be discovered by Satuk.

The nobles are very cautious, and they will naturally send special personnel to monitor the strong people who can easily kill them nearby, just like Lauren was surrounded by many spies at that time, and the trainee-level powerhouses under these nobles will inevitably be spied on to a certain extent.

This is one of the unspoken rules, and the professionals will not be angry at will, anyway, these people will only confirm their location, and it is impossible to interfere with them even the slightest.

In this case, sending an apprentice-level Assassin and giving him a powerful weapon is the best option for the nobles.

In their thoughts, an alchemy mage like Sean must be a mess in terms of combat, even if it is a head-to-head duel, he is not an opponent of an assassin of the same level, let alone being attacked.

And this dagger......

"Apprentice Spell - Magic Item Enhancement Identification Technique"

Sean flicked a shot of enhanced detection to the surface of the dagger with a solemn expression, but after the streamer was overlayed, he actually received very little feedback.

There are only two scenarios in which such an outcome occurs.

One is that like the staff in Sean's hand, this dagger has been added by the maker with many runes and energy circuits to prevent prying eyes, which makes it impossible for him to detect specific information.

The second is that this dagger is not something that can be identified by a mere apprentice-level spell at all.

If so, then this is a midship-level dagger! Even the grade in the apprenticeship level is very high!

Carefully probing his spiritual power out, Sean carefully observed the runes and energy circuits carved in it in the bursts of tears that seemed to be torn from the dagger.

Esoteric, complex, wonderful......

Coupled with the power of the dagger that suddenly erupted before, Sean instantly ruled out the first possibility and confirmed the grade of this dagger.
