Chapter 520 An unexpected surprise
Cui Feng City,
Brett looked at Li Si who was looking down at him in mid-air. He obviously didn’t feel any breath from this young man, but there was a vague feeling in his heart. A feeling of timidity.
What's going on?
Brett frowned slightly and couldn't help but be more cautious.
Although I don't know how the handsome young man in front of me found this place, but now that he has been discovered, it will not help to be angry.
The most important thing is to get away as soon as possible.
Brett stared at Li Si in front of him. Although he could not feel his aura, there was no doubt that this young man must be a gold-level powerhouse.
Such a young golden rank?
Looks like he is only about twenty years old.
As a gold-level shadow assassin, Brett has climbed step by step from an orphan to his current position, so he naturally understands the hardships of getting to this point.
In order to become stronger, he gave up friendship and love, betrayed his closest brothers, betrayed everyone, and even joined the Church of the Evil God.
Even so, for more than ten years, he has been stuck before breaking through to the legend. The last step was like a chasm that rejected his efforts, as if his talent could only support him to this point.
At your feet is the end of Brett’s life!
Brett is unwilling to accept the fact that he cannot break through the legend, so what does all his previous sacrifices and efforts count?
To this end, he prayed to Mask, the god of thieves, for the power to support his breakthrough into legend.
Mask responded to Brett's prayer, but the evil god's gifts often come at a price.
Of course Brett is not willing to bear the cost of praying to the gods for what he needs, so he needs other substitutes.
Fresh flesh, flesh and soul are the best sacrifices.
According to Brett's plan, after he paid a sufficient price as a sacrifice to the God of Thieves, he would be granted the power of the gods, complete the jump in life levels, and become a powerful being at the legendary level.
But all this is based on the fact that no trace is discovered by others.
Originally, relying on the ability of the shadow assassin and the protection of the power of Mask, the god of thieves, it was difficult for even the clergy of the Church of the Suffering God to find his traces.
But who knew that a freak like Li Si would appear halfway through.
Although Brett was extremely angry, he had no intention of getting entangled with Lis.
Brett could feel the vigorous vitality in Li Si. Li Si must be young.
Such a young gold-level professional is different from Brett.
Although Brett has stood at the top of the gold level, it is extremely difficult for him to become a legend after his potential has been exhausted. Even if he relies on the blessing of the gods to break through to the legend, he is still the most ordinary type. .
Completely different from what Li Si represents!
Whether he is in the Church of the Gods or among other extraordinary forces, the young man in front of him is an absolute future star. It is impossible without the support of strong people behind him.
There may even be a legendary strongman paying attention to his situation at any time, or carrying extremely precious special props with him.
Either way, it's not good news for Brett.
He just wants to leave here and continue the life sacrifice ceremony in another place.
As for revenge on Li Si, there will be more opportunities when he becomes a legend.
Brett was secretly wary of Li Si's possible special methods, but he didn't care much about Li Si's own strength.
In any case, it is quite rare to break through and become a gold-level professional at such a young age. It is extremely difficult to master the extraordinary field, let alone stop him.
Although Brett has entered old age and his potential has been almost completely exhausted, he is also a strong man standing on the threshold of legend.
At least, the extraordinary realm [Shadow] that Brett has mastered has reached the third level, and is just waiting to break through the final threshold and sublime and transform into a legendary realm.
These thoughts flashed through Brett's mind, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
Li Si looked at Brett who disappeared into the secret room, his expression did not change at all.
Generally speaking, when mages of the same level face assassins, the most important thing to watch out for is assassins lurking in the dark looking for opportunities to attack.
If faced head-on, assassins are generally no match for mages.
Of course, assassins with a little experience will not choose to fight other professionals head-on, except for those who have unparalleled skills.
Similarly, mages have almost no way to restrict assassins from leaving, let alone shadow assassins who are good at controlling the power of shadow.
First of all, it is difficult for a mage to find traces of assassins, let alone use spells to target assassin professionals.
Secondly, the speed that assassins are best at also gives them basically a first-mover advantage when facing other professionals. This gives assassins enough room to choose to continue attacking or stay away from the target.
But...that's for ordinary mages.
Li Si himself is not ordinary!
Boom!
On the street about thirty meters away from Li Si, the shadows cast by the starlight on the low houses on the ground twisted, and Brett's figure suddenly flew upside down and appeared.
He looked at the mid-air in front of him in surprise. Just when he was turning into a shadow and preparing to leave here, he suddenly hit an extremely tough wall.
Brett didn't even have time to react before he was knocked back from his stealth state by the huge force.
With a smile on his face, Li Si looked at the somewhat confused Brett below. This was his handiwork.
The Seventh Ring Arcana [Li Si’s Space Cage]!
This is the first high-level space arcana spell created by Li Si. It is one of the results of Li Si's research on space spells.
The most outstanding thing about Mr. Stephens is his superb use of space magic, and he can even swim freely outside the world of Gaia without restraint.
This is quite unimaginable. You must know that the world outside Gaia is home to gods and terrifying monsters, but Teacher Stephens is still alive and kicking for countless years.
Even many gods know the name of this legendary arcanist.
This is why Mr. Stephens has been out of contact for a long time, but Li Si is not worried at all.
Instead of worrying about something going wrong with Mr. Stephens, it is better to study the knowledge left by Mr. Stephens.
Although the [Stephens' Space Analysis Notes] left by the teacher contained knowledge of space magic below the level of legendary, Li Si still dare not say that he has fully mastered it.
It is enough to see that Mr. Stephens has delved deeply into this path.
Of course, the space spells Li Si now masters cannot be compared with Teacher Stephens, but for others, it is enough to make them desperate.
Just like Brett now.
After discovering that he was blocked by the space barrier in front of him, he tried many methods to find it, but none of them worked.
Even the sharp dagger in his hand, which is sharp enough to break through the dragon's skin, is as difficult to move forward when it stabs the space barrier as an ordinary person stabs an old cowhide several meters thick.
As for the shadow jump, Brett found that the space barrier in front of him seemed to block his perception. It was impossible to determine the destination of the shadow jump, and naturally he could not use the assassin's shuttle skill.
Brett turned to look at Li Si, who had not moved even half a step, and the anger in his heart could no longer be concealed. "What do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?"
Old God Li Si looked at Brett with a dark face on the ground and said with a smile:
"How about this, you go to the Church of the Gods with me honestly, and then I let you leave, how about it?"
"Damn!"
Brett is too lazy to say more. What, what is the difference between letting him go to the Church of the Gods and taking his life?
If he cannot break through the space barrier in front of him, then Brett will not break through.
After solving Li Si, everything else is easy to talk about.
Li Si looked at Brett who disappeared in front of him again without any surprise.
To be honest, he has too much experience fighting assassins.
As a player in his previous life, Li Si faced the most opponents from assassin players.
Because the Assassin profession is much more handsome than other professions, it is the most popular profession among players besides the Mage profession.
Besides, before a mage professional grows up, he is a quite terrifying gold-swallowing beast. The magic potion spent on leveling alone is too much for many players.
Compared with this, assassins are undoubtedly much more popular.
Because mages can basically only be beaten passively when faced with sneak attacks by assassins, assassin professionals have also become a nightmare for many mage players.
No matter how high your level is, all living beings are equal under the influence of wiping your throat!
In order to deal with assassins' sneak attacks, Li Si trained for a long time in his previous life, and even studied the combat habits and styles of professional assassins.
As for now, Li Si has no worries anymore.
Although Brett's control over the power of shadow must have surpassed his own, and Li Si had already grasped the information on the third level of the opponent's extraordinary domain [Shadow] from the system panel, it was not enough to prevent Li Si from discovering any traces of it.
Li Si stood suspended in mid-air, his clothes swaying gently in the wind, surrounded by a faint magical light, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.
Holding the emerald green staff tightly in his left hand, his right hand was slightly open, with gorgeous magic runes dancing on his fingertips, as if he was ready to use some powerful spell at any time. The surrounding air was under the influence of Li Si's powerful magic power. Almost solidified.
How is that possible?
Hiding in the shadows, Brett observed Lis with the corner of his eye, filled with disbelief.
No matter how he sensed it, he didn't notice the presence of shield magic next to Li Si.
No, how dare you?
Facing a master assassin hiding in the dark, are you so unscrupulous?
Brett had never encountered this kind of situation before, and he was a little undecided for a while.
In his opinion, Li Si's behavior beyond common sense must have other plans and traps secretly.
But before he could figure it out, the sense of threat coming from mid-air made it impossible for him to wait any longer.
Although he didn't know what spell Li Si was about to cast, with such power, Brett didn't want to resist the ground-washing bombardment of the fort.
In an instant, Brett was like a phantom in the night, stepping lightly into the void, and appeared quietly behind Li Si. Only his eyes that shone with cold light revealed fatal murderous intent.
The sharp short blade held tightly in his hand reflected cold light under the faint starlight, pointing straight at Li Si's seemingly fragile throat.
Brett's whole body was tense and he was ready to retreat as soon as possible if he encountered any accident.
Li Si looked at Brett's cold light and grinned.
No!
Brett instantly felt the dangerous aura, and when he was about to pull back, he saw Li Si throwing the staff faster than him with his left hand and holding the dagger he was attacking.
The dagger was obviously extremely sharp, but it only left a shallow white mark on Li Si's left finger.
What is going on?
Brett felt his mind go blank for a while, unable to understand the situation at all. At this moment, he suddenly felt his body tilt and flew in the direction of Li Si.
Li Si’s left hand holding the dagger pulled back, pulling Brett’s body to fly towards him.
At the same time, the magic aura condensed in his right hand had also dissipated, and he clenched his five fingers into an iron fist and slammed it in the direction of Brett.
Bang!
Boom!
An extremely low voice sounded, and Brett fell from the sky like a cannonball, landing on a low hut below. The huge force completely destroyed the entire hut.
The loud sound echoed in the civilian area, causing the residents hiding in their homes to panic and shrink involuntarily.
“Cough cough cough~”
The smoke dispersed, and Brett’s figure appeared among the ruins.
There was faint traces of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his left shoulder also collapsed in a weird way. He was obviously seriously injured.
Brett looked up at Li Si, who was still in the air. The anger on his face had completely dissipated, leaving only incomparable solemnity.
The physical injuries were serious, but what was even more serious was Brett’s mood.
He is not an idiot. The attack he received just now is obviously not the strength that a gold-level mage should have.
The moment he faced Li Si, Brett even felt like he was facing a golden peak warrior and assassin.
Are you kidding?
If there hadn't been the previous space barrier, Brett would have felt that Lis was just a combination of a warrior and an assassin disguised as a mage.
But, you told me that a mage who can use such a powerful space spell has the same power as a gold-level warrior, and is even faster than him?
What a joke on Gaia!
For a moment, Brett didn't know what to do.
Although it was only a moment of confrontation, Brett already understood that he was no match for Li Si in a head-on battle.
That terrifying power and exaggerated speed
You can't fight, you can't escape!
What to do, wait online, it’s urgent!
Unlike Brett's hesitation, Li Si's failure to continue taking action was not toying with his opponent.
But he just made a new discovery.
[You enter combat mode! ]
[You used the seven-ring arcana [Li Si’s Space Cage]! ]
[You used punch to knock back Brett, causing 16825 points of damage! ]
[Your extraordinary domain [wisdom] takes effect! ]
[You have gained some understanding of the extraordinary realm [Shadow], and your control has improved! ]
(Continue to accumulate understanding, and there is a probability of mastering the extraordinary field [Shadow]!)
