Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 58: The Invisible Killer (2)
Before the second "pet summon" was completed, I suddenly received a warning from Taotao. A faint black light suddenly flashed five or six meters to the left, and a black dagger about a foot long appeared silently out of thin air. It paused for a moment, then accelerated in an instant and stabbed straight at me. "Shattered Void", a long-range attack skill attached to the artifact "Dark Night Dragon Fang", is definitely a nightmare for players with low agility and slow movement. During the preliminaries, a magician was caught off guard and took two "Shattered Void" hits in a row. He was almost eliminated without making any moves.
The "Dark Night Dragon Fang" flashing with black light had already stabbed in front of me. There was no time to complete the "Pet Summoning" and summon Shaman, so I quickly transformed into a bat. However, because I was under attack, the sudden transformation could not avoid the "Dark Night Dragon Fang". I had to hurriedly use the "Avatar" again and flee in all directions, but seven clones were still unable to avoid it and were destroyed by the "Broken Void".
The figure of the Goryeo warrior appeared about 100 meters away from me. This is probably the attack radius of "Broken Void". It took me one and a half hours to cast "Pet Summon" and he was able to rush out so far. The agility of the assassin is indeed the best among all professions. He raised his hand to catch the "Dark Night Dragon Fang" that flew back, and without pausing, he immediately disappeared. The skills of the assassin are all instantaneous, and the stagnation time is very short. They can launch attacks at the same time as they appear. This is also their most terrifying point, and it is more difficult to guard against. We must always be vigilant. If Taotao had not noticed the attack a little earlier than me, and I had dodged it when I noticed it, I am afraid that I would be hurt more seriously.
With only his level 7 lightning dragon, he would definitely not be my opponent if he chose to fight head-on. Instead, he would have an additional clear target for me to attack. If we fail to cooperate, he would be more likely to become a burden to him. So he hid his body, did not confront me head-on, avoided the undead minions, and launched a sneak attack directly against me. He would disappear after one strike, which would be a greater threat to me. It seems that the reason why he did not summon a pet to help him like in the previous game should be a tactic specially formulated for my advantage. If he hurt me too badly, but I had no way to deal with him, and I could only be judged as a failure if I survived the game time limit.
I didn't dare stay in the attack range of the Goryeo warriors for too long. I quickly flew to the farthest place in the arena, changed back to human form, and hurriedly continued to cast "Pet Summoning" to at least summon Shaman. He is an assassin-type warrior, and he should be better than me in preventing sneak attacks. Spraying blood mist may be able to hide my figure, but it only applies to the bat form. After changing back to human form, I can't move in the blood mist. If I hide in the blood mist for a long time, I will be judged as passive and will lose the game. Moreover, assassins have high perception ability, and even the better equipment mostly comes with the attribute of improving perception ability. Judging from past battles, it is estimated that it is difficult to have any effect on Goryeo warriors.
I finally summoned Shaman, but I was waiting for another "Shattered Void". Even though my reaction was not slow, I still lost five clones. There was no way to defend against such an attack. I could only rely on a quick reaction to dodge in time. The venue was so large, there were too many possible attack positions, and I was in the open while the enemy was in the dark. I didn't have enough manpower to control the situation, so I couldn't start a counterattack. However, such a skill attack should be more mentally exhausting, and it is estimated that he can't use it indefinitely. Otherwise, I would have been passively beaten like this, but I couldn't even touch the opponent's shadow, and I would have no hope of winning.
Next, I stood in place and kept alert. When my mental strength recovered to more than 80%, I immediately cast the "Summon the Dead" magic, which took a long time. However, I was interrupted by the third "Broken Void" of the Goryeo warrior. I quickly cast the "Incarnation" to dodge, but still lost 6% of my health. As expected of a professional assassin, I was the best in the world in short-distance sprinting ability. Even with my invisible body, I moved so quickly, not much slower than the flying speed of the little bat I incarnated. I sprayed blood mist everywhere, trying to hinder the Goryeo warrior's actions, but the effect did not seem ideal. He was still chasing me very closely, and Taotao stared at its eyes wide, patrolling around in the air, but there was no way to detect anything abnormal. The released fire dragon could only use its body impact to break the phantom similar to the "Phantom Special Attack" skill of Qitlei. Unless it hit it directly, it would not be very helpful to detect invisibility. Only when the Goryeo warrior showed up and launched an attack could it be discovered and warned me.
I have been so depressed so far in this game. The Goryeo warrior never made any head-on contact with me. After five consecutive "Broken Void", I lost a total of 26% of my health. Taotao and Sama have powerful strength but nowhere to use it. They couldn't even touch a corner of the Goryeo warrior's clothes. Taotao could only fly around and try to restrain his actions so that he could not attack wantonly. Although Sama turned into a human form and tried his best to sense the movements around him and detect the Goryeo warrior, "Broken Void" is launched at a long distance. It is difficult for it to find anything unless it gets within a certain range.
I simply gave up the intention of using "Summoning the Dead" temporarily, and focused on guarding against the sneak attack of the Goryeo warrior. However, I estimated that he would not give me the opportunity to activate "Touch of Death" to absorb my mental power, so I dared not stay in the bat form all the time, so as not to consume too much mental power. I could only "wait" for his sneak attack with my real body. I wasted time with him, just to see how capable he was and how many times he could use "Broken Void". However, after the fifth "Broken Void", he stopped. Three or four minutes later, he had not launched the sixth sneak attack. However, I dared not relax at all. Facing this invisible killer, a moment of negligence could bring devastating consequences.
"Whoosh", there was a slight strange sound behind me. The warning from Sama and Taotao was a little late, and my reaction was also a little delayed. I lost nine clones at once - the Goryeo warrior sneaked up to my side and showed up, using the assassin's seventh-level skill "The Dagger Revealed" to launch a close attack.
Before Shaman and Taotao could rush over, the Korean warrior disappeared again, and no one knew where he had gone. He retreated after one strike, and never stayed for long, with no intention of pursuing and expanding the victory. Olympia should really be allowed to deal with him. Under the "Eye of Glory", his own invisibility ability or the invisibility ability of the artifact might not be able to hide from the world, and he would not be able to sneak up on him so easily.
I had to withdraw Shaman to my side for defense, Taotao also reduced his range of activities, and cooperated with the fire dragons roaming around to reduce the possible space for the Korean warrior to sneak in, so that he could not get close to me too easily. Compared with "Broken Void", the threat of close attack should be greater, and of course it is relatively easy to prevent. I am waiting for a suitable opportunity. As long as I can perform "Summon the Dead", I should be able to launch a counterattack and try to kill him in one fell swoop.
There was another slight strange noise, and I quickly turned into a bat and used "external incarnation" to avoid it. At the same time, my figure flashed, and it was Shaman who pounced over - just when the Goryeo warrior appeared to attack me, it immediately sensed his presence and launched a counterattack. Although I lost another 5% of my health, the Goryeo warrior was also entangled by Shaman's "Ghost Claw Thirteen Strikes". Although he relied on the power of "Dark Night Dragon Fang" to forcibly get rid of Shaman's entanglement before Taotao's support, he also suffered a little damage. This attack did not give him any advantage.
I took advantage of the fact that he had suffered a small loss and might be wary of Shaman, so I further contracted my defense line and formed a tight defense network around me. I wanted to take the opportunity to cast "Summon the Undead" again, but was interrupted by the Goryeo warrior's "Broken Void" and lost 6% of my health, which made me feel uneasy. I didn't know if he simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that I was casting magic and unable to react in time to cause greater damage, or if he guessed my plan against him, so he tried his best to stop me from casting "Summon the Undead".
From the reaction of the Goryeo warrior, I couldn't tell how many times he was capable of using "Broken Void". After all, there were more than one or two items similar to the "Necklace of Heaven Return" in the whole world. I didn't dare to fight him head-on, so I had to keep Shaman by my side and send Taotao to the periphery. One was far away and the other was close, so I had to be cautious no matter whether he was attacking from a distance or in close combat.
I patiently dealt with the opponent, constantly tried to cast "Summon the Dead", and endured three "Dagger Revealed" attacks. Although my health was reduced by 16%, Shaman also made full use of its characteristics, promptly noticed the movement of the Goryeo warrior approaching me, and launched a counterattack, so that he could not take advantage and also suffered heavy damage. More importantly, Taotao's last return to help was a little faster, and the flying fire dragon outside the body luckily brushed against the Goryeo warrior who was about to hide after finally getting rid of Shaman's entanglement, and then followed the situation and danced wildly, delaying his action, and finally gave me the opportunity to successfully cast "Summon the Dead".
I did not summon any powerful subordinates like the Horror Dragon Knight. All that appeared were the lowest-level zombies. I was not sure how many I would need, and I was afraid that I would not be able to summon enough and waste this rare opportunity. So I used 80 % of my mental power to summon zombies, which filled every bit of space in the arena, making it very difficult for them to even move. Fortunately, I was able to transform into a bat and fly into the sky, otherwise I would have been squeezed together with them.
The reason for summoning these low-level zombies was not to harm the Goryeo warrior, but to break his stealth ability - unless he could fly or burrow underground, he would inevitably be squeezed in the middle by the zombies and reveal his body. Even if he killed the zombies to make room, it would not be done in a short time, which was enough for Taotao and Sama to capture his whereabouts and rush forward to launch a fierce attack.
This method was indeed effective. The figure of the Goryeo warrior suddenly appeared about forty or fifty meters away from me, squeezed in the middle by the zombies. However, he had already reacted and used "Dark Night Dragon Fang" to kill several zombies around him. He must have wanted to kill his way out to create some space for movement.
There was no need for me to issue any more orders. Taotao and Shaman, who had already received the notice, had already rushed over. They didn't need to worry about the lives of the zombies. They launched a fierce attack on the Korean warrior with all their strength. Even though he had a magic weapon in his hand, he was only a level 7 assassin general, and he was good at sneak attacks. Facing the strong attack of an eight-level middle-level and an eight-level lower-level undead pet, he would definitely not be able to gain an advantage in a head-on battle. The zombies around him ignored the constant killing or accidental killing, and under my instructions, they tried their best to squeeze into the battle circle, surrounding him tightly, leaving the Korean warrior no chance to break out. In such a situation, even if he used the stealth skill, he would have nowhere to hide, and could only move in such a small area, constantly enduring the crazy attacks of Shaman and Taotao...
