The Return Of The God Level Assassin

MOST skills that a Priest had centered around affecting or decreasing oneʼs stats. They were essential in a party for dungeon raids because of their skills to give buffs to their team mates and debuffs to their opponents. They were also the healer in every party. But that made them particularly not good in 1v1 matches.

Itʼs because most of them lacked strong attacking skills. So, they were often seen as a support instead of someone who could bring huge damage to the opponent.

That meant that the tree root attack that Star Anise did earlier was most likely connected to her race instead of a skill. The same way with how her hand morphed into that of a sharp branch. Based on her appearance, he would take a guess and say that sheʼs probably some kind of wood nymph.

He retracted the dragon wings on his back. He truly didnʼt want to fight this match using his dragon traits. It might just be his pride talking. But he wanted to win using only his sword skill. To show these people that they should not be cheering for him because he was a dragon. But because he was a damn good player.

Xia Lei took a deep breath, taking a potion to supply his decreased HP. Once that was over, he rushed forward again. Star Anise seemed to be expecting that he would immediately attack again. Because another round of tree roots attacked him. He was about to dodge the incoming onslaught when he noticed the saplings that were on the surface of the roots.

He instinctively knew that something bad would happen if he let these saplings opened their bud. So, he stopped in place and gave a quickly glance at every sapling growing on those roots. The moment he was done, he rushed to where each of those saplings were and burned them with his sword.

The way he moved was like the wind, making his image almost blurry. So, to most of the players in the audience area, what they saw was him zigzagging across the rink, leaving a trail of blazing fire.

Star Anise who saw this almost let out a curse. There was indeed something in those saplings. The moment it bloomed, it would release a stun gas. She was planning to let the other become paralyzed and then took that opportunity to finish the match. But before any of that could even come into fruition, the other had already went and burned everything.

Although she knew that this would not be an easy match, she was still kind of expecting that it might work somehow. Because she could tell that the other seemed to be very reluctant in using his dragon powers. It might be ego or just him not wanting to hurt her because sheʼs a girl. Whatever it was, she planned to fully take advantage of that.

She could see a golden flash rushing towards her. She wasnʼt nervous. She was waiting for a chance for the other to get close to her once again. But to her surprise, the other suddenly stopped before he could fully get near her. Then, he struck down his sword.

The tip of the sword buried itself on the rink and then five slashes of golden fire surged on the already mostly destroyed rink.

Star Anise had to put up another barrier. She could only use her barrier for three consecutive times, then it would enter cooldown and she wouldnʼt be able to use it again until tomorrow. Now, she only had one chance to use it again. She had to finish this fight before she was forced to use her barrier for the last time.

She looked to where Dragnar released his attack. But she couldnʼt see his figure properly because of all the flames and the smoke. All she could see was a shadow. But she was sure that the other was still there. Probably just waiting to do another one of his attacks.

Dragnar would probably not dare go near her again because of the skill she used earlier to drain his HP. So, he would most likely do another long-range attack just like he did just now.

Thatʼs fine by her. Itʼs probably even better. She used her skill – [Sleepy Mist]. Just like its name, upon used, the area within one kilometer radius from where he was standing would be filled with mist. Anyone considered as an enemy would have their stats decreased by half every second. Not only that, it would also make them feel lethargic, making it hard for them to move.

This skill was very effective against strong opponents. It would even be better to use if she had a partner with her to finish off the job. But she was alone. And that meant that she could only be the one to do it.

She didnʼt hesitate to use one of her few attack skills. Of course, she still did it while inside the protection of her barrier. Thereʼs no need to take risk when she could protect herself.

She was about to use it when she suddenly felt a pinch on her stomach. She looked down and saw a sword that passed through her belly. That sword was pulled back and she could feel her HP draining.

She glanced back and even with all the mist around, she could still see the vibrant golden hair of the person who stabbed her. ”You—how?”

”Letʼs just say itʼs trade secret,” Xia Lei answered.

Actually, after he did that last attack, he used his only defensive skill. A skill that could protect him from any debuffs for the next five seconds. And just as he did, the mist appeared. He knew that the other would follow that up with an attack. So, he had to do it first.

The mist helped him conceal his movement. Thatʼs why he could easily appear behind her. Thus, this situation.

”I must say, you are indeed pretty fast,” Star Anise said. ”Still, you shouldnʼt be too unguarded.”

Then, she thrusted her hand that had already turned into a sharp branch towards the other.
