Once an Assassin has taken the lead, he will be at a huge disadvantage, and unless there is a gap in hard power, the fate of the attacker is already sealed.

Silently sneaking behind Anya's back, Evan raised the black rose dagger in his hand.

Anya finally felt that something was wrong, his mental power seemed to be blocked, and he had no warning of the changes behind him.

However, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, and after subconsciously tilting his head, the scene from the afterglow made Anya's pupils shrink suddenly, and he quickly activated the ring in his hand.

A transparent mana shield surrounded him, a magical item he had spent so much money to obtain, including a defensive apprentice-level spell, the Mana Shield.

It's a pity it's too late!

The power of the shadows all over his body exploded instantly, and Ivan no longer concealed his killing intent, and approached Anya with an arrow step.

With the infusion of a large amount of shadow power, the surface of the black rose dagger ignited with pure black flames, which took the shape of roses, swaying wantonly in the air, leaving patches of shadows.

Far more effective than the previous Assassin's assassination of Sean.

With the help of the detection spell, Sean and Satuk looked at the scene in amazement.

The black flames seemed to burn the space out of layers of fluctuations, like the roses adorned on the scythe of death, with an intoxicating danger.

The deadly brilliance flashed forward, and in front of Black Flame, that layer of mana shield was like paper paste, easily destroyed, burning into fragments of light.

It can't stop and destroy everything.

Looking at the dagger stabbed at her, Anya's mind flashed through these two adjectives for the last time.

Black Flame was like an elf controlled by dexterity, and it spread directly through Anya's body at an extremely fast speed with the dagger that pierced into his body.

It took less than 0.5 seconds for the black flames that flashed from the inside out to turn his entire person into ashes.

Ivan wielding the dagger was able to control the Black Flames, and under his deliberate control, Anya's clothes and various belongings were preserved intact.

……

In the brains of Sean and Satuk, who were watching the battle through spells from a distance, there was only one word "shock" at the moment.

They guessed that the assassination might go well, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly.

From Evan to Anya's death, the whole process was just over a second, and with just one stab, the apprentice-level mage and the mana shield he used died directly under Evan's hands.

Normally, mages can use their mana to fend off enemy attacks, even without using spells.

But that's when there's enough reaction time and the form of the attack is relatively simple.

In the face of the sudden attack, Ivan could be said to have an absolute advantage, and quickly killed the black-robed mage before he could react, without giving him any chance to resist.

The Black Rose Dagger was an artifact for an assassin, and in the face of such a powerful ability, the power of Ivan's first blow was raised to an almost terrifying level.

By the time Satuk and Sean hurried to Evan, he had already finished sorting out the loot.

Seeing the arrival of the two, the corners of Evan's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't know if it was Sean's delusion, he actually noticed a hint of smugness from this facial action.

The skull of an unknown pale beast was tossed by Evan, and Sean tapped the staff, and the skull hovered beside him, beginning to circle around the tip of the staff.

"Mr. Evan, thank you for your help." Sean bent down, showing respect for the strong.

"It's a gesture." Ivan looked completely unconcerned, and turned to Satuk, "This guy's residence seems to be not far ahead, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Satuk's eyes lit up instantly, there must be a lot of good things for a trainee-level mage, and it seems that he can make a lot of money today.

"Then the two of you, I'll retire for the time being."

Seeing this, Sean understood that what happened next had nothing to do with him.

He performed a mage salute to the two of them, and after receiving a response, he rode in a carriage with a trainee-level powerhouse of the Scarlet family and set off towards the manor.

……

Looking at the distant shadow of the carriage, Ivan placed the captured ring on his hand that could release a mana shield.

"This guy is smart, did he agree to join?"

Evan's voice was as emotionless as usual, as if nothing could disturb him, and he seemed extremely calm.

"Not yet, but I think soon." Satuk was already extremely happy at this time, and every point of Ivan's strength represented that the power of the Scarlet family was also stronger.

"I didn't expect it, this dagger is so powerful, it's really worth exchanging the elf secret spring, it seems that I have to find a chance to compensate that kid, otherwise I'm afraid he will have an opinion in his heart."

Although Sean was credited with attracting attention, Satuk still understood Ivan's current combat strength, and as a nobleman, many thoughts suddenly rose in his heart.

"Don't think too much about it." Ivan shook his head wearily.

"Black Flame can only be used once a week, and every time I use it, it will drain my seventy-five volts of shadow power, and it can't be used as a regular means at all."

"Violence is still the best way to go, let's be honest, according to the current situation, one day Hogel City will fall into the hands of our Scarlett family."

"War is coming, and stability is fundamental."

After saying a lot of words in one breath, Ivan was silent again and walked forward on his own.

Satuk also seemed to be accustomed to Ivan's performance, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and followed without leaving an inch.

……

……

The results of Satuk's actions gradually spread throughout the upper echelons of Hogle City, and for a long time afterward, the Scarlet family was much less targeted.

Evan's ability to kill apprentice-level mages with one stab made them all tremble, for fear that one day they would annoy the Scarlett family and let themselves be stabbed by this knife.

And although those apprentice-level professionals expressed their indignation at this kind of thing, the dagger was not stabbed on their body after all, so they did not make any big noise.

It's just that the business development of the Scarlett family has been somewhat limited in a short period of time, and everyone doesn't want to cooperate with a nobleman who will stab him at any time, but unfortunately this idea will gradually fade with time.

On the whole, the power of the Scarlet family is getting stronger, and there is a vague momentum of the number one in Hogel City.
