Chapter 366 - The Wolf Enters the Tiger’s Den (2/2)
At this instant, he felt three forces from different directions targeting him. One came from directly behind. This was the Level-8 Warrior. One was beside him, rapidly approaching. Out of the corner of his eye, he recognized that it was a magic puppet, precisely Link’s puppet Nana. This proved that the human in the middle of the formation was Link.
The last threat came from the human priest. In the air, the divine light formed a corporeal blade that flew straight towards him.
Hehe, the reaction is pretty fast, but it’s too late. Noya laughed coldly. The Oath ring’s effect was about to be activated. He knew that the opponent’s attacks could no longer hit him. He was safe.
However, just when this thought flashed through his head, a dreadful sound came from behind him. Then, the whole courtyard lit up in a flash. It was lightning!
The speed of the lightning was instantaneous, hitting him just before he turned fully corporeal.
This attack was completely out of Noya’s expectations. He felt his body grow numb as the energy entered his body. If he didn’t immediately deal with it, it could potentially result in permanent injuries.
Noya’s heart clenched up. He immediately stopped the Oath ring’s activation, using his power to defend against the invasion of the lightning.
Noya was a Level-9 Assassin. The lightning was a Level-8 spell. It took him little effort to disperse the energy of it. However, with this short delay, the sword formed from divine light had arrived. This spell had him completely locked down. This was a divine spell that would definitely injure him if he was hit.
Getting injured in a place like this, surrounded by many strong enemies was almost synonymous with dying.
Without even hesitating, Noya drew out his dagger and stabbed towards the divine light sword.
Boom. The divine light sword was destroyed by his attack and had no chance to injure him. However, the trade-off was that his movements were once again halted.
Now, Nana had reached him. In one hand, she held a sword, in the other, she held a dagger.
The sword arrived first, stabbing towards his heart. Noya laughed coldly. The speed is nothing to scoff at, but the technique is pathetic. A puppet can only do so much.
The Dark Elves had talked so much about this magic puppet, elevating its status to a war god. They even said that the previous user of the Divine Gear was killed by this magic puppet, and as a result, Noya was extremely wary of this puppet. However, after exchanging blows with the puppet once, he immediately felt that the Dark Elves were trash!
Noya turned his body slightly, avoiding the sword edge by a hair. At the same time, his right hand struck out with the dagger, stabbing towards the magic puppet’s breast.
Clang. Unexpectedly, his dagger clashed with the opponent’s dagger and was blocked. Even more shocking, this powerful dagger which had accompanied him for hundreds of years was actually split into half by the opponent’s dagger.
Damn it! Is this the powerful dagger that Aymons was talking about? Noya had heard about this dagger from Aymons. However, Aymons had not been clear about what actually happened. He said that the magic puppet used the dagger to break through the Divine Gear’s defenses. Noya assumed that the puppet had used a special skill, and only now that he had clashed with the puppet, it wasn’t the puppet’s skill that was exceptional. No, it was the dagger in her hand that was special!
My dagger was constructed from Enchanted Gold and is extremely durable. If the dagger was just shattered, so be it. But how could the dagger be so cleanly split into half?!
Noya could not gauge how strong this dagger was. Furthermore, the Level-8 Warrior was approaching from behind. He had wasted eight seconds here and really could not afford to waste any more time.
He speedily retreated backwards, but suddenly turned his body, narrowly avoiding the Level-8 Warrior’s lightning-quick attacks. Then, he activated the Oath ring, turning his body into the translucent corporeal form.
Although his main dagger had been destroyed, he still had a secondary dagger in his left hand. It was more than enough to kill a Magician!
He approached rapidly towards Link who stood at the center of the magic formation.
“Stop right there!” Nana shouted. She chased after Noya, dashing much faster than he could. In an instant, she was behind him and stabbed a dagger towards his back.
Immediately, the priest condensed the divine light into a divine shield that blocked his approach.
Hehe, I’m now invincible, your attacks won’t even hurt me… Wait! This dagger is unnatural!
He was rejoicing earlier, but suddenly felt a cold, sharp pain in his back. How could this be?! Had he already entered a corporeal state?
What in the devil is this thing?!
In that instant, with so many things running through his mind, the anxious Noya could barely react in time. He desperately activated the Oath ring’s cloning ability. His body immediately multiplied into three bodies. One was still in the original spot; another was rushing towards Link while the last one was escaping towards the wall.
It was at this moment that Noya felt fear blossoming in his heart.
In the corporeal state granted by the Oath ring, Noya’s vision was limited, and he did not notice that at some point, Link had changed from using the wand which was sustaining the deep blue vortex in the sky and was now holding a magic sword in his hand.
In all honesty, even if Noya had seen Link change his weapon, he would not pay much attention anyway. So what if a Magician was holding a sword? Could the sword hurt him in his corporeal state? Furthermore, even if the opponent’s magic was strong, it still could not injure him in time!
