Dark Shadow Shrine

Mingshi Mastiff is very famous.

Its reputation lies not in its individual toughness, but in its predatory nature and various stunts that can defeat rogues.

Faced with the sudden attack, Ellison's men responded in the way they were best at.

The black guard instinctively releases [Desperate Darkness], this evil breath generally causes all saving throws of all hostile creatures within 3 meters to suffer a -2 morale penalty.

In front of the Mingshi mastiff, this skill has become a joke. The ghost-seeing mastiff with iron will completely ignores this skill. On the contrary, this skill aroused their ferocity.

One end swooped and entangled a black guard's sharp sword, and the other end rushed forward in an instant, almost tearing off the shield on the guard's left arm.

The old thief tried to fight back, he threw 10 throwing knives in one breath, obviously he aimed at the shadow where the Mastiff jumped out of the ghost, but they all missed. The jumping ability of the Mingshi mastiff is beyond imagination. If placed in the city of gold, they have the ability to jump up to the third floor in one jump.

Incredible bounce and agility made these polar hunters Ellison's nightmare. They can even gallop for a long distance on cliffs at a ninety-degree angle to the ground.

One after another, magic spells were released from Ellison's hands, but they still couldn't change their fate of being besieged.

The mastiffs flutter left and right, jump up and down, and almost any angle can be their attack direction. That kind of high-speed rush is gorgeous and deadly, and one who is not careful will be injured or even fatal.

Among Ellison's advanced professions is a war priest. This priest/war priest career structure allows him to wear heavy armor and hold a shield.

A mithril full-body magic armor that is enough to blind the eyes of most of the dogs in the company wraps Ellison tightly, only two eyes are exposed. There are also a lot of protective spells that can be used multiple times a day, such as [enhanced resistance], [protective arrows], etc. on the armor.

It is worth mentioning that Ellison also frantically took a tower shield with [Lightness] and [Brute Force] permanently solidified. The feeling of holding this shield is similar to holding a cake.

The ghost-watching mastiff's attack was extremely violent, but it posed little threat to Ellison and the dark guards who were also wearing heavy armor.

Mastiffs who are accustomed to quick battles and solve problems with their jaws will have various problems once they fall into a protracted battle.

They can't catch the old thief with super high evasion. A pair of scimitars danced impenetrably, and even Catrick, who was proficient in intuition dodge, couldn't do anything about them.

Therefore, the breakthrough point for the Mastiff of the Mingshi is on the trickster.

Tricksters are skilled at using magic to perform tricks, stealth, or mischief. They are very adaptable to adventure. However, their arcane spellcasting ability and surprise ability are obtained from other classes, so tricksters have various advantages when facing humanoid targets.

It's a pity that when dealing with high-speed dog targets, it seems that all he has learned has been thrown into the ditch.

One of the Trickster's class skills is Tumble...

No matter how fast a person rolls, can he be as fast as an agile dog?

The trickster's tragedy became inevitable.

After a face-to-face look, he already had several wounds on his arms and calves.

Sometimes instinct kills people, and it's him. In a hurry, this guy started to hide, dodging and jumping into a shadow.

Playing hide and seek in front of the ghost mastiff with a natural sense of smell and true seeing? I really think I didn't die fast enough. The mastiffs easily detected where the trickster was hiding, pulled him out, and tore him to pieces in front of Ellison.

"It seems that it's good to eat some human flesh once in a while!"

"Flesh and flesh are the tastiest when they are full of fear."

The mastiffs talked to themselves in the common language, and about a third of the mastiffs participated in this feast of dismemberment, which was quite enjoyable for them. Although everyone's sense of taste temporarily disappeared, it did not prevent Ellison and his party from being visually impacted.

The intestines that were pulled out several meters away were shocking. The bone fragments and meat scraps chewed up by the thick dog jaws were all over the place.

Ellison finally determined that even if the opponent is an intelligent creature, there is no possibility of the two sides coexisting at all. Even if these guys drive away, they will come back after a while, endlessly.

He shouted loudly: "It's now!"

In the next moment, his voice switched to a pleasant male voice with a psychedelic taste, and the wonderful rhythm passed through the space and reached the minds of the mastiffs: "In the name of Cyric, I declare that your natural enemy has arrived."

The god of murder Cyric, the current priesthood includes: murder, conspiracy, fraud, and lies.

Ellison said something without nutrition, but under the blessing of the magic spell with a fixed number of uses per day, it became Cyric's unique magic spell [True Lies].

It was obviously Ellison's lie, but another extremely realistic picture was formed in the minds of the mastiffs. They had been severely injured, and their natural enemy, the Celestial Lion, suddenly surrounded them for some reason. They were hunters one second, and they became prey the next second.

The mastiffs were flustered, they no longer had the time to speak, they let out instinctive canine screams.

While the mastiffs were unable to extricate themselves in the phantom, the masters on Ellison's side shot together, beheading the mastiffs who had lost their size in various ways.

More than one mastiff was killed every second.

Seeing that the incoming enemy was about to be wiped out, Lei Wen shot again just as the joy of victory filled his heart.

The sudden appearance of Sheng Yi Rope attracted everyone's attention.

Ellison almost instinctively activated the protective spell enchanted on the armor. Recently, a dark guard rushed to Ellison's side, trying to resist the sneak attack with his body and shield.

However, Sheng Yi's attack still retreated with one hit.

The screams happened behind Ellison.

That was another Blackguard. At that time, he inserted the long sword into the heart of a Mingshi mastiff, and was about to smash the mastiff's heart with a twist. Allison's remaining attention was absorbed by the sneak attack.

Unconsciously, due to the twisting of his head, there was a gap between the helmet and the solid shoulder armor.

Raven came out of the shadow of the black guard unusually abruptly, and appeared behind the black guard.

His eyes were full of calmness, and there was a cruel faint smile on the corner of his mouth, a cold light flashed!

dagger!

Obsidian Thorn!

A silent black light appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly, like a black lightning, pushing the people who were already in trouble into a darker abyss.

The light of this blow was so deep that everyone who saw this scene felt powerless to resist. Either they involuntarily closed their eyes and could not bear to see what was going to happen next, or they were struck by the lightning. Shocked by the peerless sharpness of the blow, he couldn't move no matter what.

At least three pairs of eyes watched as the black dagger plunged into the Blackguard's neck, passing through the throat and windpipe.

With the sharpness and piercing properties of the obsidian thorn, the blackguard's fortitude bonus of up to +10 is useless.

Then, with the high-speed rotation of Raven's wrist, the sharp tip of the blade turned here, smashed the black guard's throat, and at the same time, ruthlessly pierced into the cervical spine, almost cutting half of the black guard's neck. Lost.

"Fallenhit! No—" Seeing that the guards who had followed him for many years were killed, Ellison uttered an inhuman scream. He was still in the process of casting the last spell, and he couldn't do anything. He could only watch as Raven kicked his foot on the dead Farenheit's armor lightly, made a beautiful volley turn, and flew into the sky in the blink of an eye. Escape through another shadowy crevice.

After regaining his senses, Ellison smashed [Healing Technique] on Fahrenheit's head like crazy.

Unfortunately, this makes no sense!

Healing is for the living. The moment he was stabbed by Raven, Fahrenheit was already dead.

The Mingshi mastiff was killed, and the remaining people gathered together and stood silently beside Ellison.

"Didn't that Raven only have black iron steps? Who told me what happened just now? Those are the assassin's standard skills [Shadow Leap] and [Shadow of Must]?" Ellison couldn't hide it in his tone. anger.

It was his most loyal guard who spoke first. Under the dark guard's helmet, his voice seemed muffled: "Professionals of the rogue department can usually hide their aura, but the aura cannot be deceived at the moment of attack. The moment just now It is indeed the breath of the black iron steps."

"Then how could..."

The old thief intervened: "This is the blessing of the shadow plane. Because the shadow energy is too strong here, the energy consumption of all our skills that require shadow energy has been greatly reduced. Maybe that Raven just realized the shadow skill himself. "

Ellison's face turned pale in an instant: "Didn't you say that he hasn't officially resonated yet? Didn't he have to have the shadow orb for perfect resonance?"

The old thief was silent for a long time before replying: "If I read correctly, he still didn't resonate until the successful assassination just now. He borrowed the power of the shadow plane."

"ah!?"

Catrick interjected: "Master...Although I don't want to admit it, I agree with Van der Val's opinion."

"What?"

"Master, there are people called geniuses in this world." Catrick shut up after finishing speaking.

Raven is a genius. Otherwise, no one could explain how an underage half-elf could survive Ellison's repeated pursuit.

Still getting stronger and stronger!

No one dared to admit this before, so they attributed Raven's survival to luck.

Maybe they found out, but no one dared to face up to this fact!

The surroundings fell into a dead silence again!

No one can imagine that there are people in the world who can progress so fast!

A few days ago, he was a brat who wasn't even considered a professional.

A few days later, he was actually able to kill a silver-ranked black guard known for his rough skin and thick flesh.

It doesn't matter whether he plays tricks, borrows sharp weapons, or sneaks up on key points. Anyway, the fact of killing a strong enemy by leapfrogging was placed in front of Ellison and everyone like this.

Finally, one of the twelve priests of Cyric, the famous god of murder, Ellison*, who will be known as the left hand of the god in the future, squeezed out such a sentence: "I underestimated him."
