Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Competition Between Killers
"So easy?"
Looking at Herder's corpse in front of him, Artimus couldn't help frowning.
His first reaction was that someone had done it.
A little thought about it leads to this conclusion.
Helde didn't have an accident sooner or later, but after he fought with Artimu, he had an accident and became a corpse.
Doesn't that tell the story?
I think it was probably the people who were hiding behind Herder who did something to make Herder die violently, so as not to leak their news.
It has to be said that this idea, although somewhat inconsistent with the real situation, is also very logical.
If Heard doesn't die this time, with the character of Tina and the others, they will try to attack Heard next and solve this hidden danger.
This is the basic literacy of a killer.
But originally, even if they had this idea, they didn't move so fast.
Herder's death saved them a lot of trouble.
Standing in place, looking at Herder's body in front of him, Artimus hesitated for a moment, and was about to move forward and dispose of the body.
However, at this moment, there was a movement outside.
A figure roared past and rushed out directly.
"Who!"
Artimus immediately woke up.
Not far away, a fireball condensed and rushed towards Artimu, and the speed was very fast.
"Mage?"
This thought flashed through Yadimu's heart, and his body was slightly sideways, so he avoided it.
Bang!
There was a soft thud on the spot, and a huge crater appeared directly in the ground, and there was a surging flame burning in it.
The power of this blow can be seen.
Yadimu couldn't help but frown.
Because he could feel that the figure on the side had not disappeared, it was still lurking around.
The other party appeared to be quite cautious.
Adim leaned sideways slightly, leaning to the side.
In the shadows behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, and it should be a young man.
The man had a mask on his face, and there was not the slightest breath escaping from his body, not even the slightest murderous intent escaping.
The moment he appeared, the short sword in his hand stabbed towards Artim.
The shadow of this blow is not only extremely hidden and without the slightest breath, but the power contained in it is also quite terrifying.
If you are hit by this blow, even if you don't die, you will probably be seriously injured.
The dagger stabbed forward, looking to stab Adimu's body, but it was blocked at the critical moment.
A long sword stretched out forward, blocking the front at the critical moment, and the other blocked the opponent's attack.
The man was startled, and then he saw the calm face of Artimuna.
At this moment, Artimus had already turned around, walked in front of him at once, and then slashed down with a sword.
The white light flashed, and in the process of fierce fighting, the life energy in the body was surging and erupting, blessing Yadimu's weapon, bringing extremely strong power to this blow.
At such a close distance, with Yadimu's strength, it is impossible to miss no matter what.
With a soft bang, the figure in front of him flew out directly.
Looking at the other party's body flying sideways, Yadimu frowned.
"This feeling...."
He reminisced about Fang Cai's feeling, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Fang Cai's sword, he did hit, but it didn't have the feeling of slashing at flesh and blood, but as if it had touched some solid object.
Looking closely, a subtle ripple appeared on the body of the man in front of him, rippling like a layer of water waves, and then slowly became dark.
This is...... Magic items?
Yadimu was stunned.
The so-called magic items are some special things made by mages.
Because of the power of the mage, most of these crafted items have some special abilities, so they are also called magic items.
A similar magic item had been seen in the Hodd Academy, but it was the first time that he had seen such a magic item that could directly resist an attack.
Looking at it like this, it was this magic item that allowed the other party to survive and not be directly killed by Yadimu.
But that's okay too.
Since one blow fails, it's good to strike again.
Without the slightest hesitation, Artim continued to move forward, ready to give the other party another sword.
But at this point, the familiar feeling resurfaced.
The feeling that I was locked into some kind of force, as if I could be hurt at any moment.......
Feeling this feeling, Yadimu's body subconsciously turned sideways and moved somewhere for a moment.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the previous fireball reappeared, bombarding down towards Yadimu's previous position.
Bang!
The fireball bombarded the ground, but instead of burning, it brought layers of smoke.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Until the next moment, a figure rushed out again.
That's Artimu.
He stubbornly carried the aftermath of the spell and rushed directly towards the shadow warrior before him, and his sword cracked.
The golden sword slashed through a layer of sword shadows, and with the life energy, it emitted a surging brilliance.
This time, the previous magic item was still in the way, but not as powerful as before.
The surging ripples rippled on the surface of the opponent's body, and then it was directly broken, so that it lost its effect.
The man's chest was cut and he was almost cut in half.
He looked at Yadimu in front of him, and his heart was full of horror at the moment.
Heavy pain came from all over his body, it was the residual life energy in his body that was rioting, and it was causing damage to his body.
Either way, the existence of that magical object gave him a chance to live.
Taking advantage of the gap where Artimus was locked again, his bodies melted into the shadows and disappeared from each other.
There is nothing in the place that can discern its existence except for the presence of some bloodstains, which prove its previous traces.
Looking at this scene, Yadimu was not surprised, but a little regretful.
"It's still a step slower."
The thought crossed his mind.
The Shadow Warrior, a very special class of people who are able to merge with the ubiquitous power of shadow, lurk themselves in the shadows.
Because of the sheer concealment of this trait, the Shadow Warrior is also the best killer and hunter.
In the face of such an opponent, with the help of other people on the side, it is only normal for him to accidentally leave and escape.
Standing still for a moment, Artimus looked around.
Now, the sense of lock-in that existed all the time is gone.
It seemed to confirm that there was no way to solve the problem, so after the companion left, the mage who was lurking in the shadows also left, and did not stay here to entangle.
This made Ardimu feel quite a pity.
Although the mage was well lurking, he had cast some spells a few times before, and he had revealed some traces in the end.
As long as Yadimu is given a little more time, Yadimu will be able to find the opponent's location and directly give the opponent a sword.
It's a pity that the other party was too cautious, and after realizing that it was not an opponent, he immediately chose to leave.
There is no work ethic as a killer at all.
Yadimu lamented this.
But when he turned around then, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because ahead, Herder's body was gone for no apparent time.
What's the situation?
Standing in place, Yadimu was stunned.
"When will ....."
He was sure that neither the shadow warrior nor the mage would have had a chance to attack Herder's corpse before.
In Fang Cai, Yadimu's entire energy was focused on these two people, if they really had such obvious movements, it was absolutely impossible for Yadimu to ignore them.
But now, Herder's body is simply gone?
Is there a third person at the scene?
Yadimu quickly realized this possibility.
Under his full attention, the two people who shot before had absolutely no chance to secretly make these small movements.
Unless someone else was lurking around, it would be possible to take Held's body away while Ardimu was fighting the two of them with all his might.
But if that's the case, then the problem arises again.
Since they still have more strong people lurking, why don't they all attack at the beginning and take down Yadimu?
Dealing with the previous two, Yadimu is already a little difficult, if there are still one or two strong people, even if they can't take Yadimu, they will definitely be able to suppress Yadimu.
But they didn't.
Or was their purpose from the beginning not to be Adimus, but to Herder's corpse?
Looking at the location of Herder's corpse before, Artimus was a little puzzled.
At the moment, on the other side.
"Those two people before, were they sent by the organization?"
In a corner, Ollie looked at Tina in front of him and asked, a little confused.
"What do you think?"
Listening to Ollie's question, Tina gave him a roll of the eye: "Of course not." ”
"We've been on this mission for so long, and there's no reason why we won't be notified if the organization still needs to send reinforcements."
"Those two are probably people sent from other organizations, and the purpose may be the same as ours."
"Including the situation on Aetheus's side this time, it may be that this organization started it."
Tina shook her head and said, "After all, we're not the only ones who want Aesius to die right now. ”
"God knows how many organizations that group of people have given orders to. ”
"Maybe the entire organization in the Kingdom of Hodd has already been commissioned."
"So what do we do?"
Hearing this, Ollie frowned and asked, "Do you want to take action in front of that group of people and finish off Aetheus?" ”
Theoretically, more people want to kill Aesius, which means more potential allies.
But these allies are also potential adversaries.
After all, there is only one Aeus, but there are many who want this head.
In this respect, these people are not only helpers, but also opponents.
"If it's an ordinary task, then it's natural.........
Tina put Herder's body in front of her eyes and said, "But this is not the case with this mission. ”
