The dragon knight pulled out the black spear that was stuck upside down on the ground and waved it skillfully in the air for a while, regaining the feeling of grasping it. Then, he held the gun with both hands, pointed the blade forward, stepped on the horse, and assumed a heroic confrontation posture.
The slender gun body was integrated with the night, but it was isolated from the darkness because of the entangled purple holy breath.
Filsa knew in his heart that this holy spear was the proud weapon of Selis. Countless demons had died on this tapered blade, and this immortal edge had penetrated the hearts of countless monsters. .
Standing behind the dragon knight is the Adventurer's Guild, which is brightly lit, and the light even shines through the door, and hiding inside is the assassin's prey tonight - Guild Snow.
The three people who were the first to fight against the assassins were the adventurers temporarily hired by Snowva who received the "murder notice" this morning. He was not very confident about the adventurer's strength, so he contacted Filsa, who belonged to the Silver Wing Knights, and asked to appoint another knight as his personal bodyguard.
Time on the battlefield seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and the dragon knight calmly waited for the assassin to attack first. He met the enemy's sword with a firm attitude of "one man is in charge and no one can break it".
The assassin teleported like a sneak again, but this time there was an extra wave of killing intent.
The crisp sound of sword and gun clashes was so intense that it could not be distinguished with both ears. The movements of the two men shrouded in darkness were too fast to be captured with the naked eye. They only knew that the places where the weapons passed by became like broken walls.
Filsa thought that Shirley, who had "Eagle Eyes", should be able to see more clearly.
It is undeniable that the katana is superior to any sword in terms of offense, enough to catch the opponent off guard. However, the spear is an excellent weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and its advantages are more obvious than the former in prolonged close combat. This is very suitable for the situation that Dragon Knight is in now.
Regarding the battle situation, he no longer has the ability to clearly identify other situations, but the only thing that can be determined is that one side is attacking to protect, and the other side is attacking to break through.
Seeing that the young man was being suppressed by the dragon knight's quick guns, he retreated to the rear of the battlefield. Although neither side suffered much damage, anyone who has been on the battlefield can clearly tell who has the advantage and who has the upper hand.
Although he has the powerful ability to suppress the assassin, the Dragon Knight does not take a step forward at this time. To the Adventurer's Guild, the Dragon Knight seems to be a barrier, an indestructible defensive barrier. He only stayed near the entrance of the union, within the maximum range that the Dragon Knight could take care of. Because protecting the client inside is his ultimate goal. This is completely different from the adventurers who just ran rampant in order to win. Celis's protective heart runs through his entire action. Perhaps the loss of original intention was the main reason why the adventurers failed in this battle, and it was not simply a matter of strength.
In this regard, Firsa admired his friend from the bottom of his heart.
What tricks did the previously surprising assassin not use at this time?
In fact, Filsa would never have guessed it until the assassin showed his trump card.
This assassin, he touched the sleeve of his right hand, revealing his arm wrapped in dark stripes.
The strange curse pattern that was entangled like a poisonous snake, from the moment it appeared in the dark night and was exposed to everyone's eyes, it lit up from dark to gray, a luminous gray.
"Do you feel it? That kind of power." Filsa asked Shirley.
"Huh? It seems so. But..."
There is no mistake. This kind of power, this whistling and strong sense of oppression is enough to stir up the demonic veins in anyone present, enough to affect everything. This feeling of discomfort will never be forgotten by Filsa.
Emblem - the third illusory ability that breaks away from the categories of magic and magical martial arts with the help of the Holy Breath of the Light Stone and the resurrection totem summoned from ancient times.
That is the certificate of honor for the warrior chosen by the Holy Stone. But why does this visitor in the dark night have such a sacred mark?
The reason why Filsa knows the characteristics of the emblem so well is that he once mastered this power. The faded mark on the back of the engraved hand is proof of the existence of the emblem. Thus it was deliberately concealed by white gloves.
Just when his emblem was still aching, Firsa suddenly discovered that the inside and outside of the damaged street, even around the eaves where he was, and the darkly polluted sky, were filled with silvery particles, overflowing. Within visible visual range.
Then there was a lightning bolt that suddenly burst out high in the sky and shattered into thousands of falling thunderbirds before it hit the ground. The thunder is the song of birds.
The lightning lasted for several seconds. People outside the light curtain only thought it was a few seconds, but the target inside the light curtain who was killed by thousands of thunderbirds would not think so. That must have been a painful time that stretched into centuries.
Before the white light visited the battlefield, no one saw Selis escape from that range.
After the white light dispersed, Celis was seen kneeling on one knee. The tight armor showed no signs of damage, but there was a slight amount of white smoke coming out. If you look closely, you can still see him panting up and down, as if he is adjusting his breath in a hurry.
The assassin's movements also stopped. Performing this emblem technique consumes a huge amount of energy, causing his movements to become sluggish for a certain period of time. Standing still is the best way to quickly gather physical strength and magic power.
The battlefield - it can no longer be called a battlefield, it is a Shura Field where the result is like a melee of hundreds of people. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "endless ruins", because not a square meter of ground is complete at all.
After adjusting his breath for just a few seconds, the dragon knight regained his strength and stood up steadily.
Will the two of them fight again? No, it's not. The assassin took a few steps back. The edge on the black knife had disappeared, and it turned back into the big blunt weapon it was before.
It seems that the assassin has given up on tonight's operation.
The Dragon Knight had no intention of pursuing him, because his mission tonight was just to protect the person in the Adventurer's Guild, and victory or defeat was an issue outside of the mission.
The silver moon in the night sky is covered by moving dark clouds. Affected by the white light that suddenly appeared and disappeared immediately, my eyes had no time to adapt to the darkness that came again. The assassin took advantage of this opportunity to let the mysterious phantom spells rise again around him, then turned into a wisp of black smoke, blended with the night, and then dissipated into the night.
Late at night, the Adventurers Guild.
"Client, please explain, since you have hired three of us, why do you need to hire other people?" The swordsman pointed at the dragon knight and asked Snowward.
"It's not like you don't know that missions between different adventurer teams are not allowed to overlap." Another female member also expressed her dissatisfaction, even though defeat was an indisputable fact in front of the three of them.
"No crossing of commissions" is an unwritten rule among adventurers. Why is there this provision? It's simple, because if someone intervenes in the task, there will inevitably be disputes over the distribution of the bounty. If it is completed by a team, the weighted distribution can be based on what the team has discussed, but if it is a stranger who extends an extra hand to share the bounty...
Nowadays, the so-called adventurers in the Valentino continent are almost all bounty hunters, and money interests are above all else. All young people who have just entered the union and have a longing for adventure will be trained by money to become "money hunters".
The old Snowward had long been accustomed to such reckless adventurers, and he calmly took a sip of tea.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand me." The one who spoke was not the dragon knight Celis who was silent at the side. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to penetrate both inside and outside the union.
"The mission of the adventurers is to 'prevent assassins from sneaking into the guild to assassinate people', and mine is to 'protect Snow'. The implication is that when your lineup is breached by the enemy, it is my turn to take action. .”
"But we haven't lost at that time..." The swordsman was still using his words to turn the tide. He probably wanted to ask for some compensation from his client despite losing the battle.
"We can clearly see the actions of the three of them from the eaves."
Firsa walked in under the light of the lights outside. Behind him was his assistant Shirley. He smiled slightly and bowed deeply.
"Who are you?" the archer among the three asked unceremoniously.
"We - are not adventurers, including the dragon knight Celis." Felsa drew a clear line with them. Then he continued: "Through this battle, your hearts that are bewitched by the interests of victory and defeat have been fully exposed. You have 'ignored' the life and death of your client, and your purpose has become 'defeating the enemy in front of you.' Therefore, you are doing your best to deal with it, instead of trying your best to protect the clients in the union behind you. Your approach has gone in the opposite direction from a certain moment on. Sir, this is my opinion."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Invigilator. Uh, and Mr. Invigilator's assistant. Mr. Dragon Knight, what's your opinion?"
"I just want to ask one thing. Was that assassin really hired by you to be the opponent of each adventurer in this evaluation?"
"Sharp eyes." Mr. Snow briefly praised, and then explained: "This is a 'real battle'. As the name suggests, everything is real. Adventurers, please don't look at me with angry eyes. I didn't lie to you. . I just didn’t tell you the truth about the evaluation.”
It is conceivable that if Selis had not been there, he would have become the soul of the assassin under the black knife. The adventurer was speechless. Failure is an unchangeable fact.
"So it's not that you lost, it's that none of the three of you passed the actual union test."
