Butler Alpha didn't seem to notice Roddy who was sneaking into the room. He held his sword in a reverse grip and raised it to the chest of the Dukes Of Angmar. His hesitant expression gradually disappeared, and the tip of the sword stopped trembling. His entire aura seemed to have changed slightly. His fingers held the sword extremely steadily. He didn't look like an old man who had been serving people for half of his life, but more like a master swordsman.
"There's no other way. If you don't die … I can't!"
This sentence seemed to have strengthened his confidence. Alpha raised the sword in his hand and stabbed straight at the chest of the Dukes Of Angmar. But at the next moment, his movement suddenly stopped. He forcefully turned the sword horizontally and firmly blocked the attack by his side.
"Ka!"
The sound of metal clashing exploded in the bedroom. The machete that could have cut off his head was easily blocked by the sword!
"Hmm?"
Roddy didn't expect his opponent to be able to detect him. The strong recoil of the machete made his hand hurt. Then, without hesitation, Roddy immediately began a series of attacks.
Three similar clashing sounds were heard one after another!
Roddy's machete kept slashing at Alpha fiercely and without reservation. He didn't expect to fight anyone today. But suddenly encountering such a situation, Roddy had no choice but to attack even if he didn't want to. But when he directly attacked while he was in stealth mode, his opponent could actually block it. His subsequent three consecutive slashes were also ineffective. This kind of thing was really out of his expectation.
However, what surprised him even more was that Alpha, whose figure couldn't be identified under the bright light, quickly raised his hand and punched Roddy's shoulder. Then, he swung his sword with great force. Roddy, who had raised his machete to block, was almost blown away!
Butler Alpha's seemingly thin and old body actually contained a strength that was more terrifying than Roddy's. This was absolutely unexpected. Roddy didn't know that there was such a master hidden in the Ducal Palace. He immediately called out "Character Status View Bar". Butler Alpha in front of him turned out to be a powerful enemy whose title was displayed as "Red"!
"Despicable assassin, I knew you were here when I entered the room … Do you really think I can't feel your breath?"
Butler Alpha's body slightly moved to the side. The originally flashy sword in his hand made a calm and imposing gesture. In the almost dark environment, Roddy couldn't see his expression at all. But his opponent's tone was completely different from the anxious one just now. Obviously, everything that Alpha showed before was a trap to lure him to attack and find a chance to fight back!
"Despicable?"
Roddy narrowed his eyes. At this time, he didn't think that the opponent said those words to scare him out. He was almost certain that the person who poisoned Duke was this seemingly loyal butler in front of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used those words to trick him out.
Thinking of this, Roddy had the heart to go up and directly hack the opponent to death. But the bright red color of the opponent's title and the painful blow just now indicated that he might not be able to defeat the opponent … Because the opponent was probably at least seven levels higher than him!
The opponent's attributes might not be higher than his, but the opponent's swordsmanship was obviously a level higher than his. And the most troublesome thing for Roddy was that he only had a machete in his hand, and the dagger was still nailed to the wall —
Wait, a dagger?
Thinking of this, Roddy immediately came up with a plan. Without saying a word, he immediately swung the machete towards Alpha. Using the "Shadow Steps" under his feet, he instantly got close to the powerful old man in front of him in an instant. "Huh?" Perhaps it was because he had never seen such an attack before. After the long sword in his hand stabbed out, it directly missed, allowing Roddy to easily get close to him and hit him with the hilt of the machete. But this kind of advantage did not have much effect in the face of an overwhelming swordsmanship. In the dark, Alpha could almost accurately sense where Roddy was behind him. He flew up and directly kicked Roddy's chest. "Bang!" That was a heavy blow.
Although the old man in front of him looked skinny, Roddy felt as if he was hit by a hammer head-on. After his back hit the wall, the shock caused by the impact really made him dizzy … But with this blow, he achieved his goal.
Alpha snorted coldly and disdainfully said, "Insignificant insect — —"
Before he finished saying "skill", Roddy, who was paralyzed by the wall in the dark, suddenly raised his arm. The butler was shocked and immediately dodged instinctively, avoiding the dagger by a hair's breadth.
In his heart, he sneered at Roddy's means, but when he turned his eyes to the front, he found that Roddy had already rushed in front of him at an incredible speed and pierced the machete into his chest with unparalleled momentum!
The machete came almost at the same time as the dagger. Alpha had never seen such a desperate fighting method because at this time, Roddy had no "footwork" or "machete skills" to speak of. He completely relied on the strength of his legs kicking the wall to fly in the air and directly pounced on Roddy in a way that there was no way to retreat!
The fight in the dark was only a moment, and any carelessness would be fatal.
"Puff!"
The machete pierced into Alpha's chest, causing him to immediately stiffen on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the battle was over.
Roddy breathed heavily, looking at the guy in front of him whose heart was accurately pierced by him. He also felt a little afraid of the combat power that the butler had shown just now. But before he could pull out the machete to push the opponent away, the corpse that should have fallen powerlessly suddenly raised his hand and stabbed at him!
"Motherf * cker!"
Roddy screamed in fear. He dodged the opponent's incredible sword while doing a backflip to pull out the machete. He was wondering why the guy was not dead yet, but he saw the blade flashed like lightning in the dark, stabbing toward his cheek again!
"What's going on!"
He couldn't help but curse. Because in such a dim light, he couldn't identify the trajectory of the opponent's blade, so his dodging action was clumsy and inefficient. He couldn't catch the opponent's third move at all. He tried his best to dodge to the side, but immediately felt a tingling pain on his shoulder, and a wound was cut by the sharp blade — —
Roddy gasped in pain and couldn't help but say, "Motherf * cker, why aren't you dead yet?"
"Dead?"
Very unexpectedly, Alpha, who was standing in the dark, said, "Death … for me, has been a very long time ago."
"* * * * * * … It's actually the undead …"
At this point, Roddy didn't need to make any more unnecessary guesses. He thought that the person who poisoned Duke would be a human traitor under the undead forces, but he never thought that there would be a real undead lurking among the humans!
Didn't the undead all look like zombies and skeletons? How could the butler in front of him disguise himself so seamlessly!?
In his memory, the "undead" were not good people, but from a political point of view, they had a "honeymoon period" with humans. Roddy once had some understanding of these guys, so he never thought that any undead could live among humans in the form of a human … If they could "disguise" themselves to the point where they looked no different from a real human, it would be a little shocking.
But the truth was right in front of him. He had stabbed him in the chest, but he was still standing there perfectly fine, and he didn't seem to be affected at all. Except for the undead, no other race could do this.
Roddy immediately felt a little scared. In his memory, it was very difficult to deal with the undead. These guys' vital points were the head and spine, and other flesh wounds could be completely ignored … As for magic, there was only "light".
The undead were afraid of light.
There were two kinds of "fear of light": one was sunlight, and the other was holy light. Obviously, the lowest rank of skeleton soldiers were afraid of sunlight, and the higher ranks were afraid of "holy light". But at this time, Roddy didn't care about anything else. He only remembered that the ring on his hand could illuminate, so he immediately raised his arm and chanted the spell that belonged to the Wood Elves, "Hlukji 'smier!"
The orange light flickered, and then illuminated the entire bedroom.
With the appearance of this warm light, Roddy felt that the surrounding cold atmosphere seemed to have dissipated a lot. In his vision, Alpha, who had dark red blood flowing from his chest, had already stepped forward with a long sword in his hand, and the light of the sword cut through the air with an arc of light.
The dark environment just now made it impossible for Roddy to effectively resist, but now that he saw his opponent's movement, he immediately raised his sword to block. "Ka!" The sound of the collision was heard, but he was knocked back a few steps because of the injury on his shoulder. Obviously, his opponent's attributes were higher than his, and he was completely at a disadvantage in this battle!
But just as Roddy clenched the curved sword in one hand and raised the shining ring in the other to think of a countermeasure, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong with Alpha.
His old face seemed to be burned by something, and it actually revealed a charred color. At first, Alpha didn't notice it, but then he covered his face in pain, and then his movement directly caused the skin on the back of his hand to be instantly "burned" black!
"Damn it! What is this — — "
This strange feeling was like seeing a vampire under the sun in a movie, and it made Alpha cry out in pain. But Roddy only hesitated for a moment, and then rushed forward with a "Ha!"
Alpha swung his sword to block, but his movement was half a beat slower because of the light …
In such a battle, a flaw in one's movement would basically mean death. The curved sword knocked away the long sword with a "Keng", and Roddy mercilessly kicked Alpha's stomach!
"Ah!"
The old butler's body immediately arched like a shrimp. Roddy's second slash cut away the opponent's long sword that had begun to swing wildly. He raised his left hand and directly stuffed the shining ring into the opponent's wide open mouth …
