Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Hand of Despair!

In the Wizard Tower.

A figure invisible to the naked eye was slowly advancing, and no one knew how the figure snuck into the tower. It was not until he reached the second floor at the bottom of the tower that Gloria noticed the intruder. The figure moved cautiously along the corner; no one would underestimate the power of the Wizard Tower and its various traps. No one knew how many dangerous devices would be installed in the tower by the Wizards who were distraught.

“Eeek!”

There was a slight noise and the invisible figure prized open a door. The figure walked through it carefully.

The other party’s basic skills were high. Almost no sound could be heard when he walked and many complex magic locks could be easily opened. But when the figure stepped through the door, suddenly the wall had a heavy muffled sound, and a solid stone door fell instantly. Heavy footsteps echoed behind the passage, and a huge figure of a Steel Golem approached slowly. On the right side of the passage, a trap door was opened and a deadly green beam shot out of it.

“Disintegrate!”

Things which were hit by the green beam dissipated; decomposing into the most basic molecules. The figure trembled all over as if it had been harmed greatly. Disintegrate could cause up to 240 spell damage. If the figure could not pass the Test of Fortitude, it was possible to be disintegrated on the spot. Even if the figure could pass the test, Disintegrate could still cause 30 erosion damage; there was also the possibility of the figure losing body parts.

At the top of the Wizard Tower.

Gloria looked doubtful and frowned slightly. “How could you sneak into my Wizard Tower and not be able to avoid Disintegrate? Does he not have any legendary equipment?”

It was almost impossible for a legendary grade Lurker to not have legendary equipment.

Moreover, no matter what occupation the Rogue advances into, they would master some special Shadow techniques, which could resist spell damage; there was no need to take the spell head-on.

Unless someone was absolutely confident of their Constitute and Fortitude, it was possible to be decomposed on the spot; one of the most deadly spells that were a Test of Death.

“Something’s wrong!”

Gloria’s frowned and said in a deep voice, “Activate the Laser Pulse Beam!”

A magic gemstone device was activated, and then a red energy laser beam emerged. Anything in the beam’s path was cut; the beam crossed the channel at an amazing speed and hit the figure instantaneously. The figure’s body was cut in half in an instant, but no blood came out. The body of the figure fell to the ground and the invisibility slowly faded away, revealing a face covered in a black cloak. There was a special emblem on his chest; a pale palm stretched out from the ground, surrounded by a graveyard of white bones.

“No!”

Gloria’s expression changed dramatically, instantly activating a device that wrapped her in protective energy and muttered, “Hand of Despair! What kind of spell-like ability is this? Shadow Avatar? Mirror Image? Or Simulacrum?”

A cold ray of light appeared behind her.

A weird figure suddenly rushed in from hundreds of meters above the tower. The strange figure twisted and then went through the energy shield of the tower; smashing the window and entering the tower. The enemy had been staying hundreds of meters above the Wizard Tower until he figured out where Gloria was. The enemy then jumped through the protective energy shield with special plane jump ability and then broke the window into the tower.

A black dagger appeared, and the wail of the dead sounded faintly!

“Spell Trigger Activation!”

“Spell Sequencer!”

“Contingency!”

“Ring of Protection!”

Six glows of magic appeared around Gloria. One after another, layers of Energy Shield covered her, and her figure disappeared. The shadowy figure vanished in an instant. Then they appeared again behind Gloria and thrust a dagger toward her heart. The Energy Shields bursts like eggshells as the dagger hits the weakest point on the shield. At the same time, spells would be released at the moment of contact. In just mere seconds, the dagger had cut into Gloria’s back!

Fresh blood gushed out.

Gloria’s face became very pale. Fortunately, the deflective force field had offset the thrust of the dagger slightly; even though she was not stabbed in the heart, she was seriously injured. The strength of the enemy was more astonishing than she had imagined.

“Expose Weakness!”

This was a legendary Assassin with a Profession Level close to 25.

Unsurprisingly, there was poison and it began to spread.

Gloria seemed to be trying to cast a spell, but the process was interrupted by the poison. A little blood spilled out of her mouth and there was already a little black taint in her blood.

Dimension Step, Shadow Realm, Shadow Jump, Shadowstrike, Deadly Poison, Expose Weakness, Mirror Image.

Within seconds, Gloria’s heart was full of despair. The enemy was the legendary Hand of Despair; a top Assassin who entered the realm of legend hundreds of years ago who even succeeded in assassinating a legendary Wizard. Although Gloria had a fairly high Profession Level, she had not mastered level 9 spells. She couldn’t use Chain Contingency on herself and had no time to cast other high-grade spells. The enemy, of course, did not give her any time to cast spells at all. Immediately the black dagger slashed toward Gloria’s throat.
