Chapter 310 Anne’s Counterattack (1/2)

”What?”

Carody exclaimed. At the same time, he didn't stop moving as he continued to hover around her like a shadow finding a chance to strike. What surprised him was that Anne didn't pull away after blocking his attack. Instead, she moved in a clockwise direction and maintained the same rhythm and speed as himself.

… How is this possible?

Carody was stumped.

At this moment, Anne didn't have the mood or time to figure out what this man was thinking anymore. She stared at him and remembered Rhode's orders.

”The moment he attacks, you have to block your right and move clockwise along with his movements. Remember, don't move too quickly. Just follow his pace and don't lose him. If he suddenly disappears before you, don't hesitate…”

Anne stopped moving, leapt back with her shield, and rolled agilely. At this moment, Carody scuttled out from the shadows beneath. If Anne stood where she was, his dagger would have pierced her throat. But now that she had jumped into the air, she drew some distances away from him, which caused him to miss his killing strike. Although Carody had assassination skills, this was totally irrelevant to frontal combat. Carody missed and before the audience was able to notice, he quickly dashed under her. She would be dead as soon as she landed!

Anne predicted his moves. When Carody was below her, she bellowed and expanded her shield. Then, she brandished it like a huge meteorite crashing to the ground.

Normally, such attacks would have been useless to Carody. But it was different this time because they made their moves at the same time. After Carody sneaked behind her, he witnessed a huge shadow sweeping toward him along with strong gales…

Carody was still a human after all, and he couldn't react continuously. Therefore, he had no choice but to retreat. Anne rolled after landing on her feet and leaped up.

This is getting interesting…

Carody narrowed his eyes.

Now he had confirmed that his opponent was familiar with his battle techniques.

That's right, familiar.

From the start, Carody had chosen to avoid—but not many knew that he was a left hander and the direction of his attack was totally unlike others, which was beneficial to him. A killer didn't need to battle, but only needed to kill in a single strike. Once his opponent made a wrong judgement in direction, he could exploit it.

However, he didn't expect that Anne was prepared for his attack. His attacks had always been a surprise to most of his enemies, but appeared crystal clear in her eyes. All of Anne's moves were used in response to his attacks. She leaped up to dodge his special technique 'Shadow Assassination'. This skill allowed him to blend into a shadow for a short period of time and instantly appear in his opponent's shadow and engage in attacks. This attack could be said to be impossible to defend.

However, Anne did it and not only that, she was also prepared for his following attacks.

How is this possible?

Carody became curious.

He had never met Anne and didn't fail after being an assassin for years, which was why it was impossible for this young lady to defeat him.

But how could she be so familiar with his moves?

”Hu…”

Anne took in deep breaths.

It seems that what Leader said was right. This man in black is vicious and scheming. If Leader didn't inform me beforehand, I probably would have lost. But… you, this man in black, do you think you can make Anne cower?

Anne gritted her teeth. She glanced at Rhode using the corners of her eyes.

Anne will never ever let you off. Everyone in the mercenary group is protected by Anne, and you will never have a chance to bully us!

She had made up her mind.

Three minutes left!

Rhode observed the battle anxiously. He didn't have any ideas on how to deal with Carody. Although he could consider exposing Carody's weaknesses to Anne and allow her to take advantage, he considered his fast attack speed and there wouldn't be enough time for her to consider. What now?
