Dark Shadow Shrine

Chapter 36: I underestimated him

The Mastiff is very famous.

Its reputation lies not in the strength of the individual, but in its group predatory characteristics and various stunts against rogues.

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

The Dark Guardian instinctively releases the [Desperate Darkness], this evil aura generally causes all hostile creatures within 3 meters to suffer a -2 morale penalty on all saving throws.

In front of the mastiff, this skill became a joke. The Iron Willing Mastiff completely ignores this skill. Instead, this skill aroused their ferocity.

One end swooped over to entangle the sharp sword of a dark guard, and the other swooped in instantly, almost tearing off the shield on the guard's left arm.

The old thief tried to fight back. He threw 10 flying knives in one go. He clearly aimed at the shadow from which the Mastiff jumped out, but all of them were still in vain. The Mastiff's jumping ability is beyond imagination. If placed in the City of Gold, they have the ability to jump to the third floor with one jump.

Incredible bouncing and agility make these polar hunters a nightmare for Ellison. They can even run for long distances on cliffs at a ninety-degree angle to the ground.

One after another divine magic was released from Ellison's hands, but they still could not change their fate of being besieged.

Mastiffs jump left and right, jump up and down, and almost any angle can be their attacking direction. That kind of high-speed dash is gorgeous and deadly, and if one is not careful, it can be injured or even fatal.

Ellison's advanced career includes a war priest, and this priest's war priest's career structure allows him to wear heavy armor and hold a shield.

A mithril full-body magical armor that was enough to blind most of the dogs in the industry wrapped Ellison tightly, only revealing his two eyes. The armor is also solidified with a lot of protection spells that can be used multiple times a day, such as [Enhanced Resistance] and [Protection Arrows].

It is worth mentioning that Ellison also frantically took a tower shield that permanently solidified [Light Spirit Technique] and [Brute Force Technique]. He held this shield as if he was holding a cake.

The Mastiff's attack was extremely violent, but it didn't pose much of a threat to Ellison and the Dark Guard, who also wore heavy armor.

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

The old thieves with super high evasion can't catch them. A pair of machetes danced tightly, and Katric, who was proficient in intuitive evasion, couldn't do anything about it.

So the breakthrough for the Mastiff is the trickster.

Tricksters are good at using magic to pull off tricks, stalk dogs or mischief. They are very adaptable to taking risks. However, their arcane spellcasting and raiding abilities need to be acquired from other classes, so tricksters have a variety of advantages when facing humanoid targets.

Unfortunately, when it comes to high-speed dog-type targets, everything he has learned seems to be thrown into the ditch.

One of the trickster's own skills is to roll...

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

The Tragedy of the Trickster became inevitable.

After a face-to-face encounter, there were several wounds on his arms and calves.

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

Playing hiding in front of the Mastiff, who is born with a keen sense of smell and true perception? I really think I didn't die fast enough. The mastiffs easily detected where the hidden trickster was, pulled him out, and tore him to shreds in front of Ellison.

"It seems that it's good to eat some human flesh occasionally!"

"Flesh and blood full of fear is the most delicious."

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

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

Ellison finally determined that even if the other party is an intelligent creature, there is absolutely no possibility of coexistence between the two parties. Even if these guys are driven away, they will entangle after a while, endlessly.

He shouted loudly, "It's now!"

The next moment, his tone switched to a pleasant male voice with a psychedelic flavor, and the wonderful rhythm passed through the space directly into the mastiffs' minds: "I declare in the name of Cyric that your natural enemy has arrived."

Cyric, the God of Murder, currently holds the following clergy: Murder, Conspiracy, Fraud, and Lie.

Ellison said a word that was useless, but with the blessing of the divine spell that was used a fixed number of times a day, it became Cyric's unique divine art [True Lie].

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

The mastiffs panicked and no longer had the time to speak. They let out their instinctive canine screams.

Just as the mastiffs were unable to extricate themselves in the illusion, all of Ellison's fighters attacked and killed the lost mastiffs in various ways.

Every second, more than one mastiff was killed.

Seeing that the enemy was about to be wiped out, just when the joy of victory filled his heart, Raven made another move.

The sudden appearance of Rope-Rope caught everyone's attention.

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

However, Roichi's attack still retreats with one hit.

The screams happened behind Ellison.

That was another Dark Guard. At that time, he inserted his long sword into the heart of a ghetto mastiff, and was about to rip the mastiff's heart apart. Ellison's surprise attack grabs all the attention he has left.

Unconsciously, the twisting of his head caused a gap between the helmet and the solid shoulder armor.

Raven suddenly emerged from the shadow of the Dark Guard and appeared behind the Dark Guard.

His eyes were full of calm, a cruel faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, and a cold light flashed!

Dagger!

Obsidian Thorn!

A silent black light appeared so suddenly, so unexpectedly, like a black lightning, pushing the already troubled crowd into a darker abyss.

The light of this blow is so deep that everyone who sees this scene has a feeling of knowing but unable to resist. Shocked by the peerless edge of a single blow, he couldn't move.

At least three pairs of eyes saw the black dagger pierce the Dark Guard's neck artery and pass through the throat and trachea.

With the sharpness and penetrating properties of the Obsidian Spike, the Dark Guard's Fortitude bonus of up to +10 is useless.

Then, with the high-speed rotation of Raven's wrist, the sharp edge of the blade turned a corner here, smashing the dark guard's throat and smashing it into the cervical vertebra, almost cutting half of the dark guard's neck. Lost.

"Fahrenheit! No—" Seeing that the guard who had followed him for many years was killed, Ellison let out a scream that didn't sound like a human voice. He was still in the process of casting the last spell, and he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Raven stomp on the armor of the dead Farenheit with incomparable dexterity. Another shadow gap escaped.

When he came back to his senses, Ellison smashed the [Healing Technique] on Fahrenheit's head like a madman.

Unfortunately, this is meaningless!

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

After the Mastiff was killed, the remaining people gathered and stood silently beside Ellison.

"Isn't that Raven only black iron rank? Who told me what happened just now? Those are the standard skills of assassins [Shadow Jump] and [Must Hit Shadow], right?" Ellison's tone could not be concealed of anger.

The one who spoke first was his most loyal guard. Under the helmet of the Dark Guard, the voice he made sounded stern: "Professionals of the wanderer type can usually hide their breath, but the breath of the moment they shoot can't be deceived. It is indeed the breath of the Black Iron Rank."

"Then how could..."

The old thief interjected: "This is the blessing of the shadow plane. Because the shadow energy here is too dense, 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 he hasn't officially resonated yet? Didn't he need the Shadow Orb for perfect resonance?"

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

"what!?"

Cattrick interrupted: "Master...Although I don't want to admit it~www.NovelMTL.com~, I agree with Van der Vare's opinion."

"what?"

"Master, there is a kind of person in the world called a genius." Catrick shut up after he finished 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 he attributed Raven's life to luck.

Maybe they noticed it, but no one dared to face 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 little kid who didn't even count as a professional.

A few days later, he was able to kill a silver-ranked dark 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 that leapfrog killed a powerful enemy was placed in front of Ellison's people.

Finally, one of the twelve priests under the famous God of Murder Cyric, Ellison Stinger, who will be known as the Left Hand of God in the future, squeezed out this sentence: "I underestimate him."
