Chapter 241 Demon Assassin
“The target is dead!”
“Soul energy is being extracted...”
“Experience points gained: 100,000 points!”
…………
Seeing the death of the ancient red dragon, Brian did not relax.
After he gave the order to the tower spirit to imprison the dragon soul, he immediately focused his attention on Ms. Polaris, who was responsible for dealing with the intruders.
"How is the situation?" he asked solemnly.
During the short period of time he dealt with the ancient red dragon, the old dragon turtle Ogruul and Ms. Polaris were responsible for delaying the intruders from attacking the wizard tower and buying more time for themselves.
Although he is confident to deal with any legendary professional in his wizard tower, there is no way that these ghost mages will not consider the problems he can think of.
It was obvious that they were so deliberate and even resorted to performing legendary rituals to break into their own wizard tower. They must have some strong support.
“It’s a bit weird.” Ms. Polaris showed her beautiful silhouette and floated down in front of him. “Ogruul has successfully trapped these seven ghost mages in the maze circle, including one Legendary spell caster. "
"Weird?" Brian looked at Ms. Polaris and found that she was not as nervous and strenuous as he thought. His clear mind made him realize the problem immediately. "Do you mean to say that everything went too smoothly?"
"Yes, that's it." Ms. Polaris agreed with him and said with a worried look, "These spell casters The performance of being trapped in the maze is really not in line with their own strength, and it is more like delaying time."
"If this is true," Brian frowned slightly, "That means. "Look, I'm afraid they are not the only ones who broke into the wizard tower. There are definitely professionals who are extremely good at hiding and are coming towards us quietly."
Thinking of this, Brian gave the order to Talling without hesitation, "Taling 2, at all costs, activate high-frequency true knowledge scanning to find the intruder!"
Now it belongs to the enemy. I understand that this forced him to be extremely vigilant.
Besides, he has long been a shadow guard assassin in the City of Shadows.
Shadow Guard Assassin, also called: Shadow Sword Master.
Known as the 'Lord of Shadows and Steel Swords', he perfectly combines the combat skills of Netherese warriors with the arcane magic of the ghost mages.
Their blades blend darkness, magic, and the subtle skills of the Shadow Lords into a perfect art of shadow magic assassination.
If the Wizard Tower is broken into by a shadow guard assassin whose strength has reached the legendary realm, I will not be able to detect his traces.
Then, with the strength of the members of the Wizard Tower, they can be killed by the Shadow Guard assassins.
“Create a three-dimensional model...”
Taling 2’s cold mechanical sound sounded:
"The wizard tower data scan is completed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-dimensional model of the entire wizard tower appeared in a crystal ball suspended above the pedestal in front of Brian.
In the surge of light waves that were like electric currents, in just a moment, Brian noticed a vague figure slowly advancing on the seventh floor of the Wizard Tower.
The other party didn’t know what method they used, but they were able to evade the detection systems of countless towers, and quietly reached the seventh floor from the first floor.
And just by looking at the blurry figure, Brian judged that the intruder had very strong physical strength and definitely belonged to the top-notch assassin profession.
His ghostly pace is no different from that of a ghost, and he can easily open any complex magic lock or trap.
“Can I get specific information?” Brian looked at Ms. Polaris beside him.
Until now, he didn’t even know what profession, race, or approximate level of strength his enemy was.
"Unable to obtain." Ms. Polaris replied neatly, "He has legendary level detection avoidance characteristics. With the current detection methods of the Wizard Tower, it is still difficult to crack."
< br>"Although I was once a great arcanist in the spiritual realm." She added helplessly: "But now I am just a remnant soul, and I cannot display my former strength at all."
Brian nodded slightly to express understanding.
Of course he knows how disgusting it is to avoid detection equipment.
An anti-detection equipment of legendary quality, for a rogue profession who is good at lurking in the legendary field, is simply more powerful than a tiger, comparable to an artifact.
Because with the help of anti-detection equipment, combined with the various stealth and disappearance specialties of the legendary level, they can avoid many dangers and detections and break into various ruins silently.
Based on the current situation of the Wizard Tower, if you want to break the intruder's counter-detection methods and obtain his detailed information, you need at least a legendary level, and you must also be a wizard who specializes in prophecy school spells. arrive.
The female lord of Arabe City is a wizard who specializes in the prophecy school.
The 'early warning' and 'detection avoidance' included in the legendary ring 'Purple Dragon Seal Ring' worn by Brian were enchanted by her herself to destroy the enemy's anti-detection equipment in front of her, and target her It was easy for her.
But at this moment, Brian is very clear that his Mokou Town has suffered such a disaster, and I am afraid that Arabe City at this time is facing greater pressure than him.
It is obviously impossible to invite reinforcements.
In this case, he could only choose to resist by himself.
Of course, if his arcanist level reaches the legendary realm, he can also think of a way to crack it through his secondary specialization in the spiritual realm.
"It seems that the enemy is well prepared." Brian muttered to himself.
In fact, if he wants to find out his enemies, he has a trump card.
It’s just that this trump card is too powerful. He will never dare to use it easily without guaranteeing that he can keep the enemy here.
Because the consequences of letting the enemy escape and leaking secrets were too great for him to bear.
After all, there are a group of gods standing behind these enemies. It is very likely that through partial information and the use of prophecy, they can find out his details clearly.
Seeing the blurry shadow about to enter the eighth floor of the wizard tower, Brian immediately gave the tower spirit an attack order.
Since he could not obtain specific information about the enemy, he could only slowly test it out.
Following the order, on the seventh floor of the tower, on the wall near the stairwell, more than a dozen mechanisms suddenly opened, revealing a deep red gem embedded in the center of the ultra-small magic circle.
——"Ruby reverse ray!"
Red rays of light filled with reversal energy shot out, emitting a strange light in the dim staircase.
The moment the light hits the shadow, it is instantly transformed into the most basic matter and disappears.
Ruby Reversal Ray is a spell developed by great arcanists in the field of transformation. They use the natural magical energy in rubies to shape it into rays.
Although it does not cause any damage, after hitting the enemy, it can temporarily invalidate the characteristics of their magic equipment, and the buff spell is directly canceled.
"This is just an illusion!" Seeing the enemy disappearing, Brian's expression changed and he instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Obviously, the wizard tower only scanned a phantom of the enemy, and his true body has never been discovered from beginning to end.
Leaving aside the enemy's concealment methods, his tentative attack most likely means that his position has been completely exposed to the enemy.
This so-called 'location' is not the location of the wizard tower where they are, but the location of the space beacon.
A powerful legendary assassin, especially one who masters the shadow realm.
In the shadow plane, they can lock the location of the enemy's material world through the location of the space beacon, and then travel through it in an instant.
Cross-dimensional jumping, shadow realm, shadow travel, shadow attack...
Brian has experienced these abilities with the Shadow Guard Assassin. Even though he has a skillful coping strategy, he can also I really don’t want to experience it a second time.
"Brian, our test just now may have exposed our position." Ms. Polaris expressed her worries.
"You two hide quickly!" Brian heard this and gave the order directly to Olanke and Sissi without thinking.
The two apprentices were obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem. They got up without thinking, got into the raised stone door, and disappeared.
At this moment, Brian suddenly felt that his Purple Dragon Seal Ring had become hot.
He immediately realized that this was the 'early warning' ability of the ring itself, an alarm sent to him, and this time the early warning was stronger than ever before.
“Well done!” Brian was not surprised but overjoyed, with murderous intent in his eyes.
In fact, what he was most worried about was that the enemy never showed up and only hid in secret to cause destruction.
If he dares to take the initiative to show up, he is confident that he will stay here completely.
A cold light suddenly appeared behind Brian.
The vague and strange figure suddenly twisted and appeared out of thin air.
A dagger flashing with dark red runes shone with cold light, faintly emitting a demonic wail from the bottomless abyss.
——“Psychic Barrier!”
——“Trigger!”
——“Serial Trigger Technique!”
——“Psychic Trigger Technique!”
…………
Superpowers appear one after another on Brian’s body and the aura of magic.
——"Steel and iron!"
——"Steel Guard!"
——"Lightning Ring!"
——"Overfrequency Explosion!"
——"Energy Immunity!"—— "Illusion!"
.........
A protective energy field opened up, and protective spells were activated one by one.
The moment the phantom hit Brian's body, a crackling dark purple arc appeared out of thin air, centered around his body, suddenly spread, and burst out with a strong electric current.
At the same time, as a strong energy ripple passed through the air, the shadow seemed to be hit hard, and the fierce offensive momentum suddenly paused.
Encountering Brian's counterattack, Phantom shook his body without showing any signs of weakness. Some kind of special field force field from the abyss spread out and enveloped the room.
He resisted the lightning ring surrounding Brian and allowed the strong deep purple current to pulse through his body. He swung the dagger like lightning and stabbed Brian's heart with clear aim.
In an instant, nearly invisible magic barriers appeared in the air around Brian, but they were all broken one by one like fragile egg shells by the dagger's powerful attack.
——"Insight into Weaknesses!"
This dagger, mixed with the screams of demons, accurately found the weakest point in Brian's protective energy field, and at the moment of contact, Crack the steel guard, steel iron bone and energy immunity he activated through triggering.
Next moment!
The sharp dagger stabbed Brian's heart mercilessly, and then this disposable item turned into bone-chilling shadow energy, which surged through his body at an incredible speed.
The shadows are lingering and the chill is everywhere.
As soon as a cold smile appeared at the corner of Xuying's mouth, his gloomy face instantly froze.
What shocked him was that no blood flowed out of the enemy he assassinated. Brian's body twisted like a phantom and disappeared.
“Not good!”
——"Supernatural ability: Shadow Jump!"
The shadow's expression changed drastically, and he was ready to escape through the shadow jump without any hesitation.
——"Space Lock!"
The magic array at the top of the command room was bright, and suddenly shot out a faint green light, forcing him to stay in place.
——"Force Field Prison!"
Brian emerged from the invisibility state, and his slender fingers drew a series of afterimages in the void. A square light blue force field cage was outlined by him. Under the control of his mind, it fell from the sky and removed the shadows. body is trapped in it.
Then, Ms. Polaris appeared under Brian's order. She waved her jade hand lightly, and the soles of the phantom trapped in the force field prison followed closely and the hexagram array that locked the space appeared.
At the same time, the air in the command room seemed to suddenly solidify, making a subtle sound similar to the sound of water solidifying into ice in an instant.
——"Overfrequency blast!"
Brian concentrated, and with a thought, his superpower was released.
The phantom, which suffered severe mental trauma, groaned and staggered backwards, hitting the light blue force field cage.
After this improved cage was touched, a strong electric current suddenly erupted, shaking the rope like a boy who was being shocked to quit his Internet addiction. The fuzzy energy surrounding him was completely defeated, revealing The original appearance.
Brian narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the enemy who almost killed him through the light blue barrier of the force field cage.
The most fundamental reason why he was able to avoid the assassin's fatal blow was that the illusion technique was set up in the trigger technique.
This spell can make the phantom clone perfectly overlap your own body when it appears, making your true body invisible before the enemy notices it.
Moreover, the 'avoid detection' ability included in the Purple Dragon Seal Ring also prevented the assassin from immediately noticing that his true body was invisible.
This is a dark-skinned alien creature with two horns on its head, bat wings on its back, cloven hooves, six fingers and a tail, and is extremely beautiful.
“Demon!”
Seeing the monster trapped by him, Brian instantly recognized his true identity, and also judged from the appearance that it was a Dark An Descendants of Lord Graz'zt and mortals.
After all, the demon lord Graz'zt is the one in the bottomless abyss who is most interested in breeding offspring with humanoid creatures, and allows those individuals who have made contracts with evil spirits to give birth to many demon descendants to assist him in the multiverse. Spread chaos.
Obviously, the real purpose of this demon assassin whose strength has reached the legendary realm is to obtain the corrupted dragon egg.
At this moment, Brian finally understood the whole story.
He had long suspected that the purpose of the Hell Gate Castle in the Supreme Forest being suddenly opened was not as simple as imagined. When he saw the demon assassin in front of him, the truth suddenly became clear.
There is no doubt that the demonic riot in Hell Gate Castle helped him cover up and reach the material plane quietly. The purpose was naturally for the dragon egg in his hand.
"It seems that Lord Wu An attaches great importance and persistence to this dragon egg." Brian thought to himself, "He even did not hesitate to send his demon general to do it himself."
"Do you think you can trap me with this broken cage?" The demon assassin who suffered a strong electric shock stretched out his right hand and showed a cold smile.
With a series of ancient demonic words uttered from the mouth of the demon assassin, the space in front of him began to distort, and began to collapse as if time and space were broken.
In the blink of an eye, a translucent pale body of a woman emerged from the crack in space. She held a magic sword entwined with wails and blood, and her scarlet eyes shot out a fierce light.
Sword Soul Demon!
Seeing the demon appearing, Brian's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Rather than saying that this is a demon, it is better to say that she is a magic sword, because her supernatural ability, the mirror image of the devil, can allow them to transform into a real magic sword.
The Sword Soul Demon particularly loves the sensory stimulation of weapons cutting into flesh. Some powerful demons or other creatures sometimes persuade or force the Sword Soul Demon to work for them.
Under the command of Lord Grazt of Dark Darkness, there is an assault legion called 'Razor' composed of demons and sword soul demons: the demon warriors wield long swords transformed by sword soul demons, without any hesitation. Rush towards the opponent in fear.
If the holder is killed, the Sword Soul Demon will immediately use the Demonic Mirror Image to transform into the appearance of the last creature injured by the sword, and continue to attack the opponent, with even greater attack power than before. violent.
As a result, the Razor Legion has more than twice its actual combat strength.
From the evil energy emanating from the sword in the hands of the Sword Soul Demon in front of him, Brian could tell that the opponent's strength was at least around the fourth level paragon.
——"Supernatural ability: Mirror image of the devil!"
The sword soul demon screamed, and its translucent pale body possessed the demon sword it was holding.
The demon assassin took the opportunity to grab the demon sword and swung the sword towards the force field prison that trapped him.
A dark light flashed.
The force field cage arranged by Brian was broken, and the surrounding space was cut into twists and faults.
"Go to hell, thief!" The demon assassin held the demon sword, turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards Brian.
Brian stood calmly and calmly raised his right hand.
A divine radiance emerged.
——"Divine power shocks!"
A huge divine power exploded with him as the center, covering the entire wizard tower.
The figure of the demon assassin wielding his demon sword and slashing was suddenly frozen in place.
His eyes widened, his blood-red pupils filled with disbelief and fear.
“This is quasi-divine power!” He exclaimed, “How can you possibly master quasi-divine power!?”
What he said is right, Brian has indeed lost his quasi-divine power. But he gave his divine power to the water fairy Sylvari.
When Sylvari successfully merged with the demiplane, he built a magic circle in the wizard tower to transmit divine power.
This is like the statues of gods in the temple. Through prayer, you can get divine help.
As long as he is willing, he can borrow Sylvari's divine power from the demiplane through the magic circle of the wizard tower to help him kill the enemy.
Divine power is a powerful force comparable to the power of gods.
When reaching a certain intensity, you can even freely change the rules, space, size, reality, and be immune to various injuries, etc.
If professionals master the power of their profession, then the divine power and divine-like power of gods and god-like masters are the power of laws and origins.
Even the power of laws controlled by weak gods is a dimensionality-reducing blow to most legendary professionals.
So, it is still possible for a nascent god-like being like Sylvari to temporarily control the actions of the demon assassin in front of her for a few seconds.
Brian did not dare to waste time, and immediately let the arcane fire burst into hot blue-white flames, shrouding the frightened demon assassin.
As a descendant of Graz'zt, even if he is killed, his soul will return to the bottomless abyss.
In order not to reveal his secret, he must kill it completely.
Driven by Arcane Fire's thoughts, in just a moment, the Demon Assassin and his Sword Soul Demon were burned to ashes, leaving only a few pieces of equipment and a crystal overflowing with dark energy.
"The target is dead!"
"Soul energy is being extracted..."
"Experience points gained: 80,000 points!"
"The target is dead!"
"Soul energy is being extracted..."
"Experience points gained: 20,000 points!"
