As a PVP player, Roddy had faced "assassins" no less than 500 times. He had a very mature response to any enemy's sneak attack.
So when a middle-aged man next to him suddenly waved his dagger, Roddy almost instinctively dodged.
"Hiss!"
The blade cut through the leather armor, but it did not penetrate into Roddy's chest as the assassin expected. The assassin narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward and waved his second shot, at the same time, he shouted in a low voice not far away, "Do it!"
The sound of a crossbow's trigger being pulled came from behind him. Rody's expression changed slightly. His body was already exhausted and it was difficult for him to dodge. At that moment, he had no choice but to force himself to jump sideways. However, the two assassins were too close and he was unable to completely dodge the two crossbow bolts.
"Puff!" His abdomen was pierced by the crossbow arrow, causing Roddy to stagger half a step.
All this happened in two seconds. When Roddy was shot, the guard next to him did not even understand what was going on. It was not until he gritted his teeth and pulled out the crossbow arrow that one of the soldiers shouted loudly.
"Assassin!"
Even though there were more than 30 soldiers on both sides of the road, the enemy could launch an assassination without any scruples, which proved that the opponent was probably prepared. Roddy looked up and found that the assassin in front of him had already put on the standard starting position of an "Acute" assassin.
Roddy "sprinted" backward and pulled out the [Purification Blade] to block. After the "Jingle" sound of weapons colliding, the opponent hit him in the chest with a quick elbow.
"Boom!"
The heavy attack shook Roddy two steps back.
He immediately understood that the opponent's level was slightly higher than his, but he did not panic. Although he was at a disadvantage at this time, the opponent obviously made a serious mistake when trying to assassinate him.
They ignored Akasha.
Except for Roddy, no one would know that this seemingly weak woman had a higher level than Roddy.
Akasha's combat experience was not bad at all. At this time, seeing that no one was staring at her, she immediately began to cast spells quietly. Rody and Selina, who was standing behind the assassin, looked at each other. After that, they no longer dodged and rushed towards the dagger.
The figure of the assassin standing in front of Roddy instantly blurred. The black dagger drew three arcs in the air, stabbing towards Roddy's vitals like a ghost.
Such a combo attack was almost unstoppable. However, the sharp blades were deflected by a light screen in the air.
The "Holy Shield" blocked his attack, and then golden chains appeared and bound the assassin's arms tightly!
Roddy seized the opportunity and slashed open the man's throat.
However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, the opponent forcefully broke free from the chains and shattered the 'Holy Shield' with a raise of his hand.
Roddy clenched the dagger in his hand and narrowed his eyes as he stared into the man's ash-gray eyes.
"It's actually an undead spirit …"
*****
At the same time, Sally was desperately running back.
Even though her heart was in pain because of Roddy's attitude, when she found out that there was an assassin, she was still very worried. The feelings hidden in the bottom of her heart would not disappear just because of some words. She stared at the guards in the distance who raised their weapons, and all she wanted was to confirm the safety of Roddy.
But just as she was about to run to the end of the street, a figure suddenly sprang out from the shadow of the building beside her and attacked Sally!
Such an attack was difficult for ordinary people to avoid, but Sally, who had the nickname of "White Sickle", was far from the weak nun of the past. She raised her hand and cast the "Punishment Strike" almost silently, and with a "Pa" sound, she shook off the opponent's arm.
Akasha tried to stop and then dodged sideways.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of the dagger slicing through the air whistled past her ears, the sharp blade almost brushing against her body as it drew a trajectory.
Sally's combat habits, honed through combat experience, saved her life. However, she knew very well that she wouldn't be able to deal with this situation on her own.
In the past battles, it was a team battle, and Sally's role was to "command", "support", and "cover". One-on-one combat was definitely her weakness.
But the assassin did not give her the chance to call for help. Like a cheetah, he pounced on her. Sally immediately cast a shield, and at the same time, there was only one sentence echoing in her mind …
"… Remember to run around the tree trunk."
Whether it was in the Forest of Silence or in front of the monastery, Sally relied on this "skill" that Roddy taught her to avoid being pursued. So she did not hesitate to run to a nearby inn, and the "Punishment Strike" in her hand constantly disrupted the enemy's running pace. After she circled around a wooden pillar, she raised her hand and cast the "Holy Light Baptism" towards the sky.
Under clear skies, no one could see the "Illumination" at all, but the "Holy Light Baptism" would let out a long hum. Sally knew that it was useless to shout for help, so she could only hope to use this method to attract reinforcements.
However, she had only run seven or eight meters when Baron Winston, whom she had scolded so harshly, rushed over with a nervous look on his face. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he wanted to stage a "hero saving the damsel in distress"
"Miss Sally, let me deal with this assassin … Randall! Kill him! "
Of course, he did not personally participate in the battle. Instead, he shouted for his followers to surround the assassin, but before he could shout the next sentence, the assassin waved his hand, and blood splattered everywhere as he broke through the encirclement of the four followers …
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The followers fell to the ground, either clutching their necks or their broken wrists. None of them could cause the slightest bit of damage to the assassin. They did not even last half a round …
"I … This …"
This scene made Winston's legs weak. He, who prided himself on his superior swordsmanship, did not even have the courage to step forward for a moment. He could only watch as the assassin got closer and closer to Sally …
*****
On the other side, the undead assassin who was fighting with Roddy had already discovered a fact: the ability of the "Scout Captain" in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
What kind of scout was this? How could the woman next to him be stronger than the bishop?
Roddy relied on the "Holy Shield" and his preemptive footwork to avoid the fatal attack. Although he was scratched by the dagger in several places, his combat power was not affected at all.
During this period, the undead assassin tried to change his target to attack Akasha, but he was held back by Roddy every time. There was nothing he could do.
The other two assassins were rushing towards them after shooting the crossbow. The guards were completely vulnerable in front of them, and it took them less than three seconds to travel twenty meters. At this time, Roddy still seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Crack!"
The "Holy Shield" was shattered again, and a long wound appeared on Roddy's chest. However, as blood splattered, Roddy did not retreat, but instead moved forward, deliberately revealing an opening. The undead assassin immediately took the opportunity to close in, raised his elbow to knock away the "Blade of Purification", and slashed the dagger in his hand at Roddy's neck!
"Crack!"
The defensive effect of the "Tortoise Shield" blocked the attack, and at the same time, Roddy's seemingly harmless left fist landed on the side of the opponent's face …
"Boom!"
The "Arcane Impact" skill embedded in the glove was cast, and the opponent's head was blown into pieces at close range!
The next moment, the light of "Intermediate Healing" fell on his body, and the wounds on Roddy's body quickly healed. He expressionlessly pushed the corpse away, activated the "Leap" skill, and directly appeared in front of another assassin five meters away. The opponent had already killed three guards, and when he saw Roddy rushing over, he immediately raised his sword and stabbed.
"Pa!"
The "Tortoise Shield" effect bounced off the attack, and Roddy gritted his teeth and stabbed forward, deeply inserting the "Blade of Purification" into the opponent's abdomen, and then activated the "Purification" skill …
In the light, the undead in front of him turned into a pile of scattered ashes.
The last assassin saw this and wanted to escape, but was completely restrained by Akasha's "Holy Bind". These two assassins were obviously not as strong as their leader, and in the next second, they were directly beheaded by Roddy.
Because they had underestimated Roddy's strength, and with the presence of a powerful priest like Akasha, the three assassins were all killed in the blink of an eye. However, before Roddy could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden hum of "Holy Light Baptism" in the distance.
"Damn it …"
Just as the others turned their heads in confusion, Roddy threw away his short sword and battle axe, picked up his short bow, and rushed into the distance.
*****
"Crack!"
The sharp blade slashed horizontally, and the thick pillar was cut in half. The dagger attacked Sally's shield, and the golden curtain of light suddenly collapsed, and a lock of Sally's blonde hair fell to the ground.
"Circling the pillar" might be effective against heavy magical beasts, but against an agile assassin, it was not much use at all. If not for Winston's entourage blocking for three or four seconds, perhaps Sally would not even have had the chance to circle around the pillar.
"Accept your fate, human."
The undead assassin's hoarse voice carried a hint of mockery. There was already a dead end in front, and he had already predicted the route that Sally was going to take, so all he needed to do was take a step forward and stab, and the mission would be completed.
Sally also understood that it was useless to continue dodging, so she turned around and used "Punishment Strike" with all her strength. However, the other party did not even have the intention to dodge, and let the divine spell hit him, without the slightest hesitation.
There seemed to be no turning back.
But in the next moment, an Exploding Arrow exploded on the assassin's arm without any warning. Amidst the flames, his forearm that was holding the dagger flew out diagonally … The assassin turned his head, only to see the next arrow enlarging in front of him …
"Boom!"
The undead whose head had been blown to pieces fell to the ground, and Sally's prayer gradually stopped. She took deep breaths, and the light from the explosive arrow seemed to still be flashing in front of her.
Then, she slowly turned her head to look.
The surrounding crowd seemed to have only just reacted, and screams and shouts filled the air. But in this chaotic environment, the blood-covered Roddy rushed over, not the slightest bit concealing the nervousness in his eyes …
For some reason, Sally's heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, suddenly seemed to have found a glimmer of hope.
When facing the Wolf Riders, facing the Scorpion King, facing the pagans … She knew that after countless life and death experiences, the relationship between her and Roddy could no longer be judged by common sense.
