It was only after experiencing such a dangerous battle that Clayon truly understood how close the originally illusory word "death" was to him.
He took in deep breaths, his body almost unable to stand. His gaze was stiff as he stared at the fatso who had turned into a corpse after being shot in the head for a few seconds. He could only feel cold sweat rapidly drenching his clothes.
At this moment, Ryan finally understood that the muffled 'pop' he heard was the sound of the arrowhead piercing through the eyeball and skull. The warm feeling on his neck was because of the opponent's blood and brain matter that had spilled out.
The arrow almost brushed past Clayon's cheek and pierced through the fatty's head. His legs were still trembling, and the inexplicable fear made it difficult for him to even move his feet. Clayon could not help but think, "If I had moved my head slightly to the right, the one that was shot would not be the fatty …"
Two out of the three assassins had died. No matter what happened, the remaining assassin had become the focus of everyone's attention. Of the two mercenaries, one was heavily injured and the other was running towards Sally with his axe. The Temple Guard was also running, but due to their heavy armor, the two of them were still a distance away from the assassin who was chasing after Sally. They could only watch as the assassin approached Sally with his sword …
"Da da da da …"
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the church. Sally was running with all her might. Her figure dashed past the stone pillars, and the assassin who was chasing after her was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, he had caught up to Sally. However, when Sally ran around the pillars, there was no pattern to her movements. When the assassin got closer, he realized that Sally's figure was always blocked by the pillars, and he had no idea where to start. Although it seemed like he could catch up to her by two or three steps, he was always blocked by the pillars!
What gave him even more of a headache was the arrow that had stopped for a moment and was about to attack again!
If it was said that he was surprised by the incredible shooting speed when he was forced to take two steps back by the arrows at the entrance of the church, then at this time, the extremely accurate calculation of the arrows made him feel horrified … All his intentions seemed to have been seen through by the opponent!
The arrows were clearly shooting towards his front, but if he did not pull back his leg, his knee would definitely be shot in the next moment. He tried to stop and dodge the first arrow, only to find that the second arrow was already flying towards the position where he was about to stop after decelerating. He hurriedly leaned back to dodge, but just as he moved his body halfway, he saw the third arrow had already drawn a parabola and shot towards his head.
So he had no choice but to swing his sword again to block the arrow, and watch as Sally ran away again.
After blocking this wave of arrows, just as he was about to run a few steps to catch up to Sally, those terrifyingly accurate arrows appeared once again, causing him to stop in his tracks in anger and irritation …
There were a total of more than 20 stone pillars in front of the church. Seeing that she was about to run to the end, Sally heard a "pitter patter" sound behind her. She took the time to look back and found that the enemy had been delayed by the incoming arrows. She was not too surprised, but there was an incomparably rich and long-lost … sense of security in her heart.
The burning pain in her body continued but the fear in her heart inexplicably disappeared. That was because Sally knew that this kind of archery skill could only have been done by Rody.
She could not see the appearance of the person in the shadow on the third floor of the mansion, but she could vaguely see a steadily raised short bow and the arrows that were quickly set on the arrow stand and shot out.
The familiar movements, the familiar frequency, the familiar momentum, and because of this, she chose to use the tactic of "circling the pillar", which was taught to her by Roddy, in Roddy's field of vision —
At this moment, it seemed that this method was indeed effective.
But she also knew that things would not end so easily. The fact that the assassin could block all the arrows and was not injured meant that Roddy's ability was limited. Thinking of this, Sally turned her head and prepared to continue running towards the last few stone pillars in front of her. The assassin behind her seemed to be ready to fight for his life. After getting rid of the rain of arrows, his movements suddenly accelerated, his body like a shadow, and directly rushed over. He was actually a few times faster than before!
"Potential Stimulation", a skill that temporarily increased movement speed could only last for ten seconds, and after it ended, there would be a side effect of "Accuracy Reduction by 10%". But at this moment, the assassin had no other way to kill Sally on the spot!
With a sudden change in speed, he believed that Roddy would definitely not be able to accurately judge the advance of the arrow!
There was another arrow flying in the distance. He glanced slightly and immediately found that the direction of the arrow was really too far off. Even if he continued to run at this speed, the arrow would definitely fall in front of him …
At this moment, if an arrow did not cause any threat, it often meant that the assassin's chances of success were greatly increased!
At this moment, holding the long sword in his hand, he saw that Sally in front of him had chosen to go around the stone pillar to the left. His body immediately changed direction, and in three steps, there was less than four meters between the two of them. He raised his arm in preparation for a sudden thrust, his eyes fixed on the position of Sally's heart on the back, and his foot on the ground had already begun to gather strength —
However, it was also at this moment that the arrow that Roddy shot arrived.
"Pa!"
The arrow did not hit the assassin, but it directly hit the stone pillar in front of the assassin's body on the right.
What happened next was like a fantasy to the bystanders — after the arrow hit the curved surface of the stone pillar, due to the angle, it did not pierce into the stone pillar. Instead, like a bullet that had been deflected by a helmet, it changed its direction, and after turning 15 degrees, it accurately shot towards the assassin's arm!
"Pu!"
Even though he was strong, the assassin could not react in time. His arm was immediately pierced by the arrow, and his entire body was knocked off balance by the force of the horizontal hit. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground!
Such a fall meant that the entire plan had failed.
The temple guards and mercenaries who rushed over immediately rushed up to the assassin who could no longer hold the sword in his arm. The priest who rushed out of the cathedral once again cast "Holy Bind", and then used "Beginner Recovery Spells" to save the injured guard and check on the injuries of the mercenary.
Ryan, Booker and the rest also came back to their senses and tried their best to help. The nuns, on the other hand, widened their eyes in horror as they hid in the back and looked at the mess in front of the cathedral …
Following that, Bishop Benjamin who had finally rushed over after receiving Crazy's notice walked out of the cathedral. He turned his head to the side and looked at the struggling assassin on the ground and narrowed his eyes.
His appearance almost immediately calmed the slightly panicked atmosphere. This old man was wearing a black robe. Although no one explained the situation to him, just by looking at the bloody ground, Ryan whose face was covered in blood, the guards and mercenaries on the ground, and the two assassins' corpses, he roughly understood what had happened.
And when he turned around and walked towards Sally's direction, the sudden change in his powerful aura really made the priests and nuns who stood beside him feel a huge pressure!
He did not stop walking towards the subdued assassin, and his hands kept casting "Higher Recovery Spells". Rays of golden light appeared in his palm as if he was shooting. When he finally looked at the struggling assassin, he could not help but emit a hint of hostility between his brows.
"Binding."
Unlike the priest who shouted "Holy Binding", the bishop only said a simple word, and the assassin's body was surrounded by three golden chains that were much thicker than "Holy Binding", and with a "clang", they firmly bound him!
"Martial law the monastery, clean this place, do not leave any traces."
"Those who participated in the battle stay, evacuate the believers."
"Immediately inform the temple guards in the armory, send all the troops, and protect this place."
One after another orders were given, and the priests who followed behind immediately turned around to carry them out. The existence of a "backbone" like Benjamin was indeed a strong and irreplaceable person in the monastery. He continued to look around, and when he saw the broken arrow shafts on the ground, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then suddenly looked at the three-story mansion in the distance —
And at the same time, Sally who stopped not far away, holding on to the stone pillar and panting, saw the bishop looking at the place where Roddy might be hiding. Just as she was thinking about how to explain his identity, she heard a muffled "poof" in the next moment …
The assassin who was bound by the golden chains on the ground, just like that, had his head blown off four meters in front of Sally.
"How dare you!"
Benjamin was completely infuriated by this brazen arrow. He shouted, raised his hand and pointed into the distance. The condensed divine charm was enshrouded in a powerful aura, causing Sally, who was seven or eight meters away, to feel a great pressure. She was so shocked that her heart was in her throat!
Why? Why did Roddy do this!? Not only did he anger Bishop Benjamin, he might even become an enemy of the "Rose Cross"!
Sally's mind was buzzing, and she was momentarily stunned. Bishop Benjamin, on the other hand, stared angrily at the mansion in front of him, but could not find the target after searching for a long time. In the end, he could only release a Level-3 "Holy Shield" in front of him, and walked towards the assassin who had been shot dead with a gloomy face. He whispered to the guard, "Carry the corpse to the back, I will go check later."
"Yes! Lord Bishop. "
The guard had many wounds on his body, but the divine charm that Benjamin had casually cast had almost healed him. At this moment, he did not care about his pathetic appearance, and got up to find someone to carry the corpse.
When the bishop lifted his gaze from the dead body, the fierceness in his eyes began to fade, and when he turned his face to Sally, his serious face was filled with guilt. He did not say anything else, and only said softly, "This is my fault, Sally."
