No one knew when the assassin appeared.
Even Søren didn't notice it. The enemy's strength was a little beyond his estimation. It wasn't until the moment before the enemy stabbed him that Søren realized that someone had ambushed him. His powerful dodging ability and amazing physical fitness made him want to avoid the attack from behind, but it was too late. Because he didn't have the ability [Danger Sense], the moment he was ready to dodge, the enemy had already stabbed him in the back.
The tip of the sword pierced his back, and it was impossible to dodge!
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Søren's mind, but in the end, the will to survive dominated his body. When the enemy stabbed him in the back, he instantly activated [Stoneskin], but the tip of the sword still pierced through his muscles and pierced his heart. At that moment, Søren could only activate [Slaughter Transformation] at the same time. Then, in the next moment, his body began to undergo a shocking change. His racing heartbeat squeezed out his blood, and in less than a millisecond, his entire body's quality was greatly improved. Then, he entered the [Son of Slaughter] form.
The tip of the sword pierced his heart.
Søren's body stiffened for a moment. The feeling of his heart being pierced was so painful that it made him lose some of his strength. However, the additional ability of the [Son of Slaughter] form had been activated. The person who assassinated Søren seemed to be a legendary Assassin, because only a legendary Assassin could get close to Søren without him noticing. However, as an Assassin, the enemy's strength didn't seem to be high. The tip of the sword that should have pierced through Søren's heart was stuck after it pierced his heart under the effect of [Stoneskin] and [Slaughter Transformation].
His strength was exhausted!
Søren's muscles clamped the enemy, and then when the enemy was about to twist the sword and crush his heart, a cold light appeared in the palm of Søren's hand. Then, the legendary curved sword, Icingdeath, appeared in his hand and directly slashed at the enemy's throat. This was a fierce counterattack. Obviously, the legendary Assassin who tried to assassinate Søren hesitated for a moment. In his mind, Søren was almost a dead target, so he certainly didn't want to die together with Søren.
So, the enemy took three steps back, pulled out his dagger, and dodged Søren's attack at the same time!
"Tsk tsk!"
The Assassin let out a mocking exclamation. From the outside, he looked like an ordinary sailor, but Søren knew that this was not the enemy's true face. In front of him was an Assassin who was proficient in disguise. This was an uncommon type of basic skill. Compared to the disguise that could be removed by magic, this kind of disguise that relied on craftsmanship was more exquisite.
The legendary Assassin stared at Søren in front of him, licked his lips and said, "You're still alive after being stabbed in the heart! You really have a tenacious life force! No wonder that person was willing to pay me a high price to kill you! But how long can you last with this kind of injury? "
The Assassin's eyes were cold and full of murderous intent. He was also looking for Søren's weakness.
This was because he felt a sense of danger when he transformed into the Slaughterer!
Søren's pupils turned blood red. Blood flowed out of his back, but the muscles he controlled temporarily stopped the bleeding. Søren would not die from excessive blood loss in a short period of time. He was now like the Gnoll Hunter who was successfully assassinated by Søren. At that time, Søren also stabbed the Gnoll Hunter's heart, but because the Gnoll Hunter's vitality was too tenacious and his Constitution was more than 20 points, he did not die immediately. He held on for a while before dying from excessive blood loss.
A row of blood-red data appeared:
"You're under attack!"
"You've been stabbed in the back by the enemy! … You've received 126 piercing damage! … You've received 21 Shadow damage! … You've been stabbed in the heart! … You've triggered the Test of Death! … You've successfully passed the Test of Death! … You've entered a heavily injured state! … You've entered a heavily bleeding state! … Your remaining vitality will be drained quickly! … "
…
-----
A Backstab.
Even with Søren's extraordinary Constitution of 22 points, plus the 2 points bonus from the Slaughterer transformation, and the defensive effect of the Stoneskin spell, he still could not reduce the enemy's damage by much. This stab directly entered a heavily injured state. Even if he temporarily passed the Test of Death, being stabbed in the heart meant that he would quickly enter a near-death state and eventually die!
"I can't die here!"
This was the only thought in Søren's mind. Then, the willpower that he had been training for a long time began to show its effect. Søren suppressed the pain in his body, and also suppressed the fear of death. His brain worked quickly in an instant, and in a short moment, he found a chance for himself to survive. At the same time, he also found a chance to counterattack.
The Sea Temple!
As long as he could escape to the Sea Temple, the Naga Siren priest could heal his injury. Although this kind of fatal injury was very scary, as long as Søren could be saved from the jaws of death. The injury to the heart was completely healed, and the bleeding injury was nothing at all. As long as Søren escaped to the Sea Temple, even if his heart was destroyed, he would not die because Greater Restoration could even regenerate the heart. Now, the Naga Siren priest would definitely not sit back and watch him die. The two sides were currently on the same front. If there was no Søren as the knife in her hand, the Naga Siren priest would eventually be alone, and her life would definitely not be better than now.
Escape!
He must escape from there.
Only a high-grade priest could heal his fatal injury!
But where would he get the chance to escape? How could the enemy in front of him let him escape? He had such a heavy injury on his body! The chance of escaping from the enemy's hands was quite low! Not to mention that there was still a long way to go from here to the Sea Temple!
— — "Fear! [Instant Cast] "
— — "Summon Shadow!"
— — "Evade Sight!"
— — "Shadow Jump!"
Søren launched several abilities in a row in an instant. First, it was an instant cast of Fear brought by a weak divinity, then he summoned a shadow, and then his whole person disappeared into the shadow. But this time, Søren was not trying to fight back against the enemy, but to escape from the enemy's attack. His figure appeared from a shadow in the distance, and then he instantly drank a bottle of expensive healing potion and fled in the direction of the Sea Temple.
The Naga Siren priest had given him a high-grade healing potion, which could temporarily prolong Søren's death!
