I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 155: 151: Easily Crushed

Chapter 155: Chapter 151: Easily Crushed

Bright City’s Lower City District, Golden Lily Lane.

Surrounded by the seven-colored brilliance of the spell “Mirage”, the grey-clothed assassin looked gloomily at Lis.

He was rely spying from the shadows, yet he had stumbled upon such a great trouble—he really didn’t understand why the boss Tash had arranged for him to keep watch over this house.

Lis, on the other hand, didn’t care about what the grey-clothed assassin was thinking. To him, the appearance of a mber from the Eagle Brother Society in this place already explained a lot.

Without further ado, Lis lifted his magic wand slightly, and a Second Circle Magic “Spider Web Technique” flew towards the body of the grey-clothed assassin.

The grey-clothed assassin also knew that it was a critical mont—he must not let Lis restrict his movents. His body violently dashed to the front left, and after dodging the “Spider Web Technique”, he charged towards Lis’s side.

...

As an assassin, before breaking through to the Gold Level and establishing a connection with the Shadow Plane, one almost lacks any long-range killing skills.

To defeat the young mage before him, the grey-clothed assassin understood that he had to engage in close combat, which was the only chance he might have to survive.

Even though his Spiritual Sense was frantically warning him to stay away, he couldn’t care less at this mont.

Lis watched the grey-clothed assassin sprinting towards him at an extrely fast speed with a calm expression on his face.

To the onlookers like Mo Yun, the grey-clothed assassin appeared like a blur, but in Lis’s eyes, he was as clear as slow motion.

“Really, this is just too crude!” Lis murmured to himself.

It was ti to show so real skill!

Lis withdrew the magic wand and, to the shocked expressions of Zhao Zhao and Mo Yun, took out a short-handled dagger that glittered with a cold light, assuming a standard assassin’s ready stance.

He gripped the dagger with his right hand in a reverse grip, leaned forward and bent at the waist, with knees slightly bent, his entire body tensed like a cheetah, ready to spring into action.

The grey-clothed assassin charging at Lis couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

What is he doing?

Isn’t he a mage?

A Silver Mage is now going to fight in close combat, with an assassin’s weapon, a dagger?

But in this crucial mont, the grey-clothed assassin couldn’t afford to think too much.

In the midst of his charge, the grey-clothed assassin’s figure flashed and disappeared from Lis’s sight.

Assassin combat technique “Extre Speed Assault”!

Assassin combat technique “Stealth”!

For professionals with inadequate perception, the “Stealth Skill” of an assassin is one of the most troubleso and prickly abilities—they simply cannot detect the trace of their attacks, which ans they can only react passively in combat.

Of course, for those with high perception who can notice the tracks of assassins, it becos much easier to deal with.

Not to ntion Lis, whose high affinity with the Shadow Plane allowed him to easily find the figure of the grey-clothed assassin.

“Didn’t I already spot you in stealth just now? You still dare to use stealth in front of ?” Lis said with a smile, his words conveying ease and confidence.

Stealth is the greatest reliance of assassins, but it is also a kind of restraint.

They cannot use other abilities while maintaining stealth, so assassins in stealth are particularly vulnerable.

Lis’s dagger deftly twirled in his hand, slashing fiercely at the air in front of him to his left.

Clang!

The clear sound of blades clashing rang out from nowhere, and the figure of the grey-clothed assassin holding a dagger appeared midair, retreating at an even faster pace towards his original direction.

The grey-clothed assassin felt half of his body going numb and looked at Lis with disbelief.

Had he discovered him so easily?

Just one exchange was all it took for him to realize that Lis was not only as fast as him, an assassin with an agility specialty, but his strength was far greater as well.

Not to ntion his appearance as a Noble Mage, and the spell enveloping the area looked extrely sophisticated.

Since when did Bright City have such an individual?

As for Mo Yun and Zhao Zhao, who were watching from the side, they too had looks of shock, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

So this is how mages are played in the ga?

Lis didn’t say much, the dagger adeptly twirling between his hands as he naturally walked towards the direction of the grey-clothed assassin.

“So, can you tell now what Tash had you guys doing here?”

After all, the grey-clothed assassin was Tash’s subordinate and might know so secrets.

Lis didn’t mind asking one more question.

The grey-clothed assassin gritted his teeth, half of his body had just recovered from paralysis, feeling as if he had been hit by a wild bull with pain all over, which also caused him to lose the courage to continue resisting.

Bowing his head, the grey-clothed assassin said:

“Respected sir, Big Boss Tash had watch over this house and to imdiately inform him if any special people ca.”

“So, have you passed the information to Tash?”

Lis continued to ask, now standing in front of the grey-clothed assassin.

The grey-clothed assassin felt very uncomfortable; when had a mage of the sa level dared to stand in front of him so unprotected?

But he still honestly answered:

“Not yet, I was just about to leave when you found .”

The grey-clothed assassin concealed the fact that he had tried to make a move on Lis; right now, he just wanted to survive.

The Eagle Brother Society?

What’s that! As long as he could leave alive, where couldn’t he live the high life as a Silver-level assassin?

These were the thoughts of the professionals active in the grey areas.

“Did he only tell you to watch the house, or did he say sothing else?”

“Like to pay attention to sothing specific in the house, so particular item?”

Lis asked, following up because this information alone wasn’t clear enough.

The grey-clothed assassin thought for a mont and then shook his head.

Lis looked at him with disdain. This is all you know, what use are you?

Feeling Lis’s murderous intent, the grey-clothed assassin quickly said:

“Sir, I also know other news! This was previously Vampire Kutena’s stronghold, and Tash had been here before, but in the past three months, he’s visited much more frequently.”

Oh?

Lis waved his hand, dispelling the Mirage barrier, and turned to glance at Kutena’s house.

So the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony was probably set up inside the house, prepared for a long ti, and too inconvenient to move, which is why these few people were arranged to guard it?

However…

A Blood Sacrifice Ceremony of such importance, protected by just one Silver-level assassin and two ordinary people?

Is this so kind of joke?

Or is there another backup plan?

Lis pondered in his heart, becoming more vigilant as well.

The grey-clothed assassin watched Lis, who was deep in thought, with so trepidation. Even though the Mirage barrier around them had been dispelled, he didn’t dare to sneak away.

Stealth skills were useless in front of this man; he felt that Lis could crush him easily with a little earnest effort.

“This sir… please spare this ti; I am willing to serve you.”

The grey-clothed assassin thought for a long ti before finally squeezing out this sentence.

Without responding imdiately, Lis turned his head to look at the grey-clothed assassin and said with a smile:

“So easily ready to betray? Could Tash let you go?”

“Sir, the truth is he has always disliked . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned this lousy job.”

The grey-clothed assassin couldn’t help but bow down, saying respectfully.
