66 The Shadow Assassin Part 2 (1/2)
As usual, the Shadow Assassin managed to hide its presence with the zombies. I did not have the Enhanced Perception skill that will be added in the Expansion Patch so I have no means to determine the exact location of the Shadow Assassin but to be reliant on my senses.
To pull out the Shadow Assassin and force it to go out and stop blending in is to defeat all the zombies. The limit of the zombies going to spawn would be around 200 and I have defeated some around 50 from my previous attacks. Therefore, there would be around 150 more to defeat.
”Hellfire!”
The incoming horde of undead was immediately put into flaming suffering from my skill. All of the enemies that passed by on the targeted area that were not part of the first victims of the assault also suffered damage.
”Rain of Bolts!”
A cloud similar to a cumulonimbus cloud appeared above the targeted area and the zombies passing by did not bother to notice it. Before they can even get out of the targeted area, lightning bolts rained down like there was a thunderstorm occurring in that particular place. The zombies who are too brittle in burst damage like the [Rain of Bolts] immediately disintegrated. In one particular group, the zombies disintegrated, leaving the slowed Shadow Assassin that got caught by the lightning bolts.
”Ha! You are not going to get away this time! Don't make my job hard!”
I did not wait for the Shadow Assassin to come close. With his terrifying ignore defense attacks, that will be troublesome if the Shadow Assassin manage to proc a critical while he managed to ignore my defense values. I just have to be preemptive enough and destroy him first. He is not the only one with the ability to ignore defense.
When I managed to get close to the Shadow Assassin, I immediately swing the Versatile Weapon in the form of the Magic Sword.
”Flaming Sword!”
The blade of the Versatile Weapon immediately got covered into flames. I may not be able to damage him that hard due to the difference of levels, at least I can give him enough pressure that would cause him to back off and stop in the meantime.
The difference between intelligent enemies like the Shadow Assassin is that they can attack and will also retreat if needed to do so unlike the normal enemies like the normal monsters I usually farm to get experience. In short, you need an actual strategy like you are in a real battle to take down an enemy and not just stand there and let all the damage soak in.
As the blade of the Versatile Weapon is getting near, the Shadow Assassin immediately showed its prowess. like a real warrior. As soon as the blade is inches away from his neck, he immediately raised his dagger and blocked the sword using it.
KLANG!
Normal players would panic when they will saw this counter but to me, this is nothing. As the blade of my weapon and his weapon collide, I immediately grinned.
The Shadow Assassin's eyes that were only shown slightly on the shadowy look on his face grew bigger in surprise. The Magic Sword that I used to attack him suddenly changed looks and turns into a familiar-looking short weapon. The gun form of the Versatile Weapon which is, in this case, is a revolver.
