After saying that, his figure once again merged into the shadows, chasing after Milair.
Upon hearing Lundrol's words, Dorian seemed to awaken from a dream. He stared at the empty alley in front of him, gritted his teeth, and a dazzling white light flashed beneath his feet, the flowing wind turning into liquid and adhering to it.
He also suddenly increased his speed, chasing after Miler.
On this quiet night, this is destined to be a long chase.
An assassin, a shadow dancer, a hunter.
Three fourth-tier beings raced wildly through the night.
Milair was the most outstanding performer.
Assassins are actually not suited for prolonged battles because they are better at bursts of power than endurance. However, thanks to the power boost given by Luo Xiu, Milair is clearly no longer in the ordinary lower-tier fourth class.
It should be noted that when she first became Luo Xiu's familiar, she was already a lower-level fourth-rank cultivator.
With each addition of skill points, she was not far from reaching the fourth rank of the upper level. If she were to unleash her full power now, she could easily leave the two behind her.
But fishing is all about patience, so she continued to lead Lundlor and Dorian around the city, hoping for more from the two of them.
After their recent probing, their guilty conscience was clearly revealed.
She made up her mind that if she still hadn't made any progress in a few minutes, she would take down the two of them first.
Her figure was lithe and graceful, like a butterfly dancing and fluttering in the moonlight, even more like a shadow dancer than the disheveled shadow dancer behind her.
Finally, she saw the place where she, Leila, and Tassanya had agreed to meet, and by this time she had already left Lundelor and Dorian far behind.
But just as she was about to go, a familiar figure blocked her way.
"Lady Pojelica."
Milair stopped and looked at the fourth-ranking knight in the Knights Order who had suddenly appeared before her. The female berserker, whose figure was shrouded in a white robe, was also the head of the archives.
"Your Excellency Milair."
The female berserker named Bozelica was carrying two thick books in her arms, wearing small glasses on her nose, and her long robe clung tightly to her tall figure.
"Why are you here?"
"I?"
Mirail remembered that she should be being chased, and hurriedly said in a panic:
"Lady Pozelica, please save me! Lundrol and Dorian are after me!"
"?"
Bodeika's expression changed, and she quickly approached:
"They're chasing you? What's going on?"
"That's it, that's them—"
Before Miler could finish speaking, the book in Bodeika's hand suddenly grew larger and slammed down hard, hitting the spot where she had just been standing. The bluestone slab cracked instantly, and shards of stone flew everywhere.
Bozelica's attack missed its mark. She looked up at Milair, who had just dodged the attack with [Light and Shadow Speed], and adjusted her glasses.
"Why are you hiding, Lord Milair? Just a moment and the pain will be over."
Milair smiled:
"This is the first time I've seen Lady Bojelica make a move. I didn't expect her to use knowledge to overpower people. No wonder your profile says your favorite saying is 'The power of knowledge is the greatest.'"
Milair maintained her smile on the surface, but inwardly she felt a chill. She had initially thought the mole was only among the five people involved in the investigation, but she hadn't expected there to be another one outside of them.
So, besides these three, are there any others?
Could it be... that everyone in the group is a villain?
She started to feel nervous, and her confidence in the operation was not as high as it had been at the beginning.
After taking a deep breath, she finally decided to leave this place first.
But just as she moved, a dim gray barrier rose from the alleyways around her, completely blocking her way.
"A fourth-tier item, the Wall of Forbidden Spells. If you want to pass through this item, you need to endure a mental forbidden spell. Do you think you can withstand the mental forbidden spell and evade my next attack?"
Boderik adjusted her glasses again and slowly began to speak:
"If you give up now, it's not too late. It'll just be a long sleep, nothing serious."
No matter how much her heart wavered, Milair's smile remained unchanged:
"This kind of prop has significant side effects. If Lady Bojelica wants to pass through it, she will likely suffer a mental curse, right?"
Pojerica nodded:
"But within this small area, my probability of winning is very high, extremely high."
"Shall we play one-on-one?"
"Of course, it's just the two of us."
Pojelica nodded.
Even if she says it's one-on-one, so what? Lundlor and Dorian will be there soon anyway.
Moreover, she genuinely didn't think she would lose.
An assassin whose movement is restricted is no different from a bird in a cage; he can only wait to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, a terrifying, earth-shattering dragon roar came from behind Milair, followed by a series of crashing sounds.
The voices of Lundlor and Dorian could also be faintly heard interspersed throughout.
Waves of energy spread between the two of them.
Bojelica's expression changed.
Milair laughed:
"It seems now that it really is just the two of us one-on-one, Lady Poderica."
As she spoke, a mysterious divine voice resounded from within her body, deep and resonant. A dim, mysterious light suddenly burst forth from her chest, carrying an irresistible pressure, as if some terrifying being was about to descend upon the world, and once it appeared, it would destroy everything in front of it.
Bojelica's expression changed, and she stomped heavily on her foot, appearing in front of Miler and slamming him down.
But her fist was blocked by a suddenly appearing yellow barrier, and for a moment she could not advance any further.
Within the barrier, Milair chuckled softly:
“Do you know, Lady Bozelica, the next skill is the power I once trusted the most.”
"Until later, a man appeared, just like you, and directly interrupted my use of this move with his power. But one day later, he gave me a gift, which is this [Earth's Blessing]."
"He wrote on the note under the gift, 'I hope that you will be able to fully exert the power you trust in every time from now on.'"
What he didn't know was that this skill was no longer the power I trusted most.
Chapter 140 Luo Xiu's Retinue (Battle!!) (One more chapter will be posted later)
As soon as Milair finished speaking, a deep and resonant roar, as loud as thunder, echoed through the boundless darkness of the night, shattering the silence of the night.
As lights began to come on in the surrounding homes, Bozelica's expression changed. If this battle were made public, things would become extremely troublesome. Therefore, she had already put the nearby residents to sleep with an alchemical potion, but she did not expect that the power within Miler would render the alchemical potion ineffective.
Sweat beaded on her forehead. She had thought that the three of them could easily defeat Miler tonight, but she hadn't expected Miler to have helpers, and the impending power made her uneasy.
Once that power is fully unleashed, I'm afraid I really won't be able to defeat it.
She roared, and her arms suddenly swelled and grew larger, the wildly growing muscles bursting through the loose sleeves, revealing two terrifying arms with bulging muscles.
boom!
Two giant ape-like arms, each holding an enlarged book, slammed down on the [Protection of the Earth] in front of Milair.
The pale yellow barrier flickered under the frenzied attack, appearing to be on the verge of collapse.
But after a second or two, the barrier still showed no signs of breaking.
That's for sure. The effect of the item [Earth's Protection] is to exchange an extremely long charging time for 3 seconds of immunity to attacks of level 4 and below.
Finally, to Bodeika's astonishment, that mysterious and terrifying power descended.
From Milair's chest, a pair of illusory, withered arms stretched out, as if tearing a gash in her chest, and a phantom carrying an aura of destruction emerged from the gash.
It was a woman with a head of long, jet-black hair that covered most of her face, revealing only two scarlet eyes with a blood-red light flowing from the corners of her eyes, like tears of blood that never dried.
Her upper body protruded from in front of Miler, bent over, while her lower body was nowhere to be seen, seemingly still inside Miler's body, unable to escape.
It has two arms on each side of its body, a total of four arms. Each arm holds a dagger that exudes an aura of death. When it is swung, it emits a terrifying shriek and leaves black afterimages in the air, as if it is tearing through space.
"Ahhh!!!" The half-figure let out a piercing scream, the dagger in its hand pointing directly at Bozelika. The almost tangible killing intent made Bozelika feel a chill down her spine, and sweat completely soaked her robe, which clung to her body.
Milair was pale at this moment; using this skill was extremely taxing on her.
Assassin Tier 4 Skill: [Dual God of Life and Death]
She used this skill to win several Cavaliers drafts, eventually reaching the fifth pick in the draft.
Two daggers gleaming with purple light appeared in her hands, crossed and pointing at Bojelica. The dagger in the hand of the phantom in front of her made the same gesture.
It sounds like a long time, but from now until Miler casts her skill, it's only been a few seconds. The instant [Earth's Protection] fails, Miler and Bozel move at the same time.
With a roar, Bojelica's muscles bulged, revealing her purest power. Her robe ripped apart, revealing a terrifying physique beneath. Her bronze skin was covered with taut muscles, like a meticulously sculpted bronze statue, embodying the ultimate in violent aesthetics.
Berserker Tier 4 Skill: [Iron Body]
Berserker Tier 2 Skill: [Bloodlust]
Once you reach a higher rank, even if you're in the same profession, each person will have their own unique understanding of combat.
For example, the Berserker's fourth-tier skills, [Iron Body] and [Berserk Giant Transformation], cannot be learned simultaneously due to their conflicting effects. Alger's fighting style is berserk, destroying opponents at all costs, so he learned [Berserk Giant Transformation]. However, Bodeika's fighting style is precise combat and striking, so she chose the more suitable [Iron Body].
It will not change its own physique, but will maintain its control over its strength and agility, while comprehensively enhancing its physique, speed and strength.
She pushed off with her feet, breaking the ground beneath her feet, and lunged at Milair. At this moment, she didn't need any weapons; her body was her strongest support.
But Miler simply twisted her body slightly, causing Bozelica to miss her target. The gust of wind grazed Miler's body and directly destroyed the surrounding walls.
Then Milair raised his hand, and six sharp blades moved in unison, their black and purple light intertwining, making them exceptionally dazzling in the night. With just a simple swing, it was as if a million daggers were aimed at Bodejlika's neck.
Bojelica's eyes narrowed, knowing she couldn't avoid the attack. She suddenly changed her posture, adopting a somewhat strange stance to block her heart, neck, waist, and abdomen with her arms.
Miso miso miso! ! !
