Chapter 133: Chop
Walking through familiar alleys, Sean thought in his mind about how to burn runes and energy circuits on the secondary fusion crystals, and calculated what materials he needed to simulate.
The place he was going to was the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce's branch in Theresa City for professionals, which was managed by Fryck.
Unlike the ambitious Satuq, Reinado seems to have been thoroughly involved in the slave trade, and even with a large amount of surplus money in his hands, he has barely ventured into other businesses.
It was a smart choice, the trade license brought him huge profits at the same time, but it also came with great risks, and Reinado couldn't have put his hand on someone else's plate at this juncture, which would do nothing but hinder his development.
Therefore, Sean's main recent trading partner is his old friend Frick, in addition to getting some good discounts, whether it is credibility or connections, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce far surpasses other peers.
……
The gold coins in the bag collided with Sean's movements, and a seductive sound was heard in all directions.
Cheryl West, wielding a dagger, lurked at the base of a house in the middle of the alley, listening carefully to the movement outside through the wall.
There were no strange fluctuations, let alone exquisite arrangements, she just leaned against the wall so casually, even if Sean's spiritual power swept over repeatedly, she didn't find anything abnormal.
……
Cheryl is a warlock, but not your average warlock.
As we all know, the essence of the bloodline is a special form of soul fragment, and the strength of a warlock's ability is closely related to his bloodline.
Although this wonderful inheritance can also be obtained by means of acquired plunder, it is clear that creatures born with strong bloodlines will walk more smoothly on this path.
Because of an accident, the bloodline in Cheryl's body began to awaken when she was very young, and the owner of this bloodline is called the Invisible Beast, which is a low-level but very rare monster.
Their numbers are extremely scarce, and their combat ability is also very weak, and even the vast majority of monsters are stronger than it, so they can defeat it casually.
Logically speaking, such creatures should be phased out over countless years, but they possess an ability that is unsolvable in their class, and that is invisibility at the level of information.
Different from optical stealth or other forms of concealment, the effect of information shielding is extremely weird, in fact, invisible beasts have never covered their whereabouts, but even if they appear in front of other creatures openly, they are easy to be ignored by the other party.
Cheryl's innate spells during her apprenticeship and apprenticeship are derived from the Invisible Beast's abilities, which she named "Presence Transformation" and "Information Invisibility", respectively.
The effects of "Presence Transformation" and "Information Stealth" are the same as those of the Invisible Beast, and once used, as long as she does not have a large impact on the outside world, it is difficult for even professionals of the same level to discover her existence.
As a result, Cheryl is often involved in intelligence or assassination work, and although it is difficult for her to use other types of spells as a bloodline awakened warlock, if she can be paired with some powerful magic items or alchemy items, then her combat ability will skyrocket.
Unlike most warlocks, who are similar to mages and often use long-range spells in combat, Cheryl is the only one that makes her easy to spot once she mobilizes the power of the bloodline, so a sudden melee attack is the best option.
According to the intelligence, the target this time has not been promoted to the apprentice level for a long time, and he is also an alchemy mage who is not good at fighting, although he has a staff with a strange appearance, but he has not carried it with him when he goes out recently.
A rare opportunity.
Cheryl thought so, and continued to wait for the other to get closer.
……
At this moment, Sean was completely unaware of the danger coming, and he still walked forward unhurriedly, without even much fluctuation in his mental strength.
The assassination in Hogg taught him a profound lesson, so just before leaving home, Sean blessed himself with a spell called Shadow Perception in case of a surprise attack.
The Assassins, known for their assassinations, clearly brought fear to the world, and derived countless methods against them.
Shadow Perception is one of them, a spell that doesn't require much mana at all, but can make assassins who like to play with shadows fall on their heels, making them stand out like fireflies in the dark as they sneak through the shadows.
But one thing that is often overlooked is that assassination is not the preserve of assassins......
……
Five-meter ......
Four-meter ......
The footsteps outside the wall were getting closer, and Cheryl's body was tense.
Three-meter ......
Two meters ......
She stayed in this small house for almost a week, just to get the perfect opportunity to attack.
One meter ......
Cheryl's indifferent gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, and she was like a predatory beast, quietly watching the approach of her prey.
Here it comes!
The runes and energy circuits on the short sword lit up, and the power of the huge bloodline suddenly exploded, shattering the fragile walls in an instant.
As the rings on Cheryl's hand shimmered, the apprentice-level Weakness Technique and the Imprisonment Technique were activated at the same time, flying towards the target one after the other.
At this time, Sean suddenly noticed the arrival of the attack, but before he could react, the feeling of imprisonment instantly enveloped his whole body, followed by a strong sense of weakness and sharp sword light.
"Damn it!"
Sean frantically mobilized the mana in his body.
It takes time to chant spells, and it will definitely be too late to use spell defenses at this moment, so the only way to dodge the enemy's first wave of attack is to use the Abyssal Blade to fight back.
Like an arrow missing, the kinetic energy that appeared out of thin air caused Sean to suddenly fly backwards, his stiff body tumbling in the air, and the fragments of the wall slamming into the enemy under his control, trying to disrupt the other party's vision.
But the sneak attacker was obviously not surprised by this, she simply broke through the distraction in front of her, and the power of her blood surged all over her body, rushing towards Sean who was retreating in the air at a faster speed, and then swung the short sword in her hand straight down.
The cold light flashed, and blood splattered.
Most of his arms were scattered in the air with beads of blood, and finally fell to the ground weakly.
Severe pain, unbearable pain, Sean trembled all over, and pressed his severed left hand, and the whole person became a little crazy.
