“Running?!”
A cold light appeared in the eyes of the legendary Assassin, and his figure suddenly jumped into the shadow. However, he did not enter the stealth state, but his body directly integrated into the shadow, then disappeared at the next moment. He then appeared 30 meters away; this strange assassin appeared in the shadow, but he did not stay for too long and disappeared again; soon he appeared close to Soran.
“Shadow Leap!”
This was a special ability that a legendary Rogue could master—it was similar to the Shadow Jump but did not require the user to be in Sneak. As long as the user was in the shadow, the legendary Rogue could jump across space, and the effect was similar to the wizard’s teleportation Blink spell. This special ability was a “Supernatural Ability”; it had a certain teleportation distance, but the number of times it could be used was limited. In general, a legendary Rogue could perform Shadow Leap up to 100 meters per day.
This was a spell similar to the space jumping Blink spell; jumping 10 meters every time, and could be used 10 times.
Furthermore, the user need not be in Sneak. They only needed their bodies to be in a shadow.
Soran’s men only responded now, but they were useless in this legendary level battle. When they were ready to rush to help Soran, both men had already used supernatural forces to rush hundreds of meters away. Soran’s injury had become very serious. The intense moving had accelerated his blood loss. Even with his strong ability to regenerate, he could not heal his heart, which would be deadly. At the moment, a stream of blood gushed from his back, which almost dyed his whole back red.
The enemy was getting close!
Maybe because of the approaching of death, Soran’s perception was also exerted to the limit. He could feel that the enemy was more than ten meters behind him, and was still catching up with him bit by bit. There also seemed to be some legendary item in the enemy’s hands, as he was able to cast spells like “Grease Feet” and “Haste”. In this case, Soran’s chances of escape were quite low, so he decided in a moment and rushed directly to a place with many people.
Plop, Flop!
After Soran’s figure appeared, the crowd became scared, and then there was a tumbling of people. The carriage in the middle of the road suddenly seemed to go crazy; the horse pulling the carriage neighed and ran straight ahead. There was a knife mark on the horse’s buttocks; Soran had cut the horse slightly while he was there. The galloping horse bumped into several people, but the flustered crowd achieved the effect Soran needed.
The galloping carriage and the escaping crowd temporarily blocked Soran’s figure, and the enemy’s pace of catching up was hindered!
“You think this would stop me?”
The strange figure shuttled into the crowd, avoiding most of the things blocking the road. Occasionally, a pedestrian would be in his way, a flash of cold light, then a corpse would be left in place. Soran’s injury was too serious; there was blood left on the ground where he walked. The enemy behind him could rely on this to lock on to his position, even if Soran had temporarily pulled away.
Bang!
Soran’s figure rushed into a narrow lane, but soon, another strange figure appeared, and then also rushed into the lane. With a cat and mouse-like banter on his face, the enemy seemed to enjoy Soran’s dying struggle at the moment, because he had decided that Soran could not escape his palm. However, when the enemy rushed into the alley, what he saw was not Soran’s back, but a pair of eyes full of determination to fight back!
Swoosh!
Just as the enemy chased Soran into the alley, suddenly a glimmer of light appeared, and the enemy became stiff.
“Darts +3!”
A steel needle, which was almost hard to catch by the naked eye, flew out. Before the legendary Assassin reacted, he was shot on the spot by Soran.
The legendary Assassin just felt a slight stabbing pain in his body, and then he didn’t feel anything. Even though he knew that he had been played by the other side, he didn’t pay any attention to it. He was still ready to kill Soran who was in front of him. In his opinion, a steel needle was not deadly; however, when he walked out a few steps, he began to feel something wrong. His speed slowed down, and his body was quite stiff when moving. He almost fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
The legendary Assassin’s face showed a trace of despair and panic because he found his body more and more rigid. “What the hell is this!? How can it be so powerful! ” exclaimed the assassin.
Got him!
Soran immediately went back, had his sword out and slashed toward the enemy.
As a previous legendary Rogue, Soran knew the weakness of the Rogue class all too well. Although the Rogue had all kinds of supernatural means and special skills; they had not many terrifying spells like the wizard, and they were not as strong as the Fighter. Even if Soran had a Constitution of 22, it was still hard to compete with a Fighter of the same rank in toughness.
That was why he knew that the enemy would not be able to resist the +3 darts since the enemy only had less than half the chance to resist the attack.
They were now the same!
Living or dying would depend on one’s Constitution.
In those days, when many quasi-legendary and legendary figures were exploring the outer islands, they all died when their boats capsized or when they were hit by poisonous darts. From the beginning, Soran’s bet was to see if he could kill the enemy with his poisonous darts.
Plof!
The legendary Assassin in front of Soran was suddenly stiff and almost fell to the ground. Such an opportunity was impossible for Soran to miss, that was why when he saw the enemy in front had lost his balance, he immediately slashed toward the enemy.
“Sword Form [Beheading]!”
Fresh blood shot out, and the head of the assassin dropped to the ground.
Soran let out a breath of relief; he stumbled slightly as if he could not stand properly.
