The next moment, a young figure wearing a captain's cloak walked out of the forest. Behind him, countless cold and hard vines swarmed out like a flood. They were like strange pythons that pounced on the pirates gathered at the entrance of the cave.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"What the hell is this? Why can't I cut it? "
Creak … Creak …
The pirates couldn't cut these vines. They were brainless, but they didn't know what it meant to be soft. Once they wrapped around the pirates' bodies, they wouldn't let go. Then, they suddenly tightened their grip.
"Ah, my bones are going to break!"
“.....”
After Elvin noticed the presence of the pirates, he immediately left the grotto. He let Milan bring the still weak Gary to gather the crew of the "Roaring Conch" while he rushed here as fast as he could.
He also summoned the mutated vines that lived in the ruins. The mutated vines, frogmen, skeletal lizards, and other mutated creatures, as well as the statue warriors, were all rooted in this "island" as a defensive force. It was impossible to take them away. This was the perfect time to let the mutated vines that were smaller in size but faster in movement.
When he saw that a naval officer's arm was about to be cut off, Captain Elvin didn't wait for the main force. He surrounded all the pirates alone and launched an attack!
He didn't care about the pirates who were howling in pain. This time, he summoned all the mutated vines that occupied an entire passage in the ruins. He didn't need to intervene. It wasn't difficult to deal with these pirates who were only at the novice level.
Evan swept his gaze across the field. There was only one person who could catch his attention, and that was the suspected Extraordinaire who was hiding in the corner and only caught a glimpse of him.
"Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Whoosh —
Just as he was puzzled, an almost undetectable sound of wind was suddenly heard from Elvin's side. A black dagger was like an illusion that didn't have any substance as it fiercely stabbed towards Elvin's left rib.
Insidious, fatal, but without the slightest killing intent!
[Sword Form — Floating Boat!]
Facing this hidden sword attack from a top assassin, when Elvin realized that the attack was about to hit him, he could only forcefully activate a secret sword technique to dodge to the side.
Elvin, who had not seen Duncan use his powers before, suddenly realized that this supernatural being, who did not seem to have much of a presence among the pirates, was actually an extremely brilliant assassin!
Elvin's body was like a small boat as he dodged the fatal blow. At the same time, he had already unsheathed his sword and slashed in the direction where the dagger came from. It wasn't because Elvin couldn't attack accurately, but because the Assassin didn't reveal himself even when he was attacking.
"An expert!"
As expected, his sword missed!
As Elvin retreated, he summoned his mutated roots to surround the area. He was prepared to use external forces to force the invisible Assassin out.
His intelligence as an adept was fully unleashed as well. He used his extraordinary senses to capture the assassin's movements!
However, as an experienced Assassin, Duncan was very clear about the situation on the battlefield. How could he give Elvin the chance to surround him?
The main point of the decapitation tactic was to kill in one hit!
He stomped heavily on the ground and soared into the air. Like a dim stream of light, he shot towards the retreating Elvin. At this moment, due to the intense movement, he could no longer maintain his invisible state. A strange person with bluish-green skin whose age couldn't be determined was exposed. He was holding a long and a short dagger …
Sudden Stab!
This was an explosive combo that belonged to a brilliant Assassin, forcing Elvin to be unable to continue dodging. He could only use the dagger in his hand to forcefully block the attack.
Clang!
The collision of the blades produced a long, drawn-out sound.
Although there were only two daggers, they were not inferior to the domineering power of the Armor Piercing Awl!
However, Elvin's constitution was 2.33, strength was 2.13, agility was 2.52, and spirit was 0.58 after consuming the "Fruit of Essence". He was barely able to block the stab that was ready to be unleashed.
However, after two exchanges, Elvin was able to confirm the identity of his opponent.
"Swastika Swordsmanship? Assassin organization Vulture's Nest?! "
Duncan's gaze, which was as calm as stagnant water, changed slightly when Evan exposed his identity.
What was the purpose of him leaving his home and hiding on the sea? Wasn't it to avoid being rediscovered by the strongest assassin organization in the continent? Wasn't it to live a peaceful life as a "human"?
If news of him being alive were to spread, Duncan believed that with the power of Vulture's Nest, it would take less than a month for an endless stream of assassins to come after him. Unless he could perform another miracle, death would be his only ending!
"Anyone who knows where I came from must die!"
Duncan said hatefully in his heart. His originally fierce and ruthless sword moves changed once again. It was as if a strange peak had suddenly appeared, and many dangerous moves that would take him down with himself were added.
This was the "Saber Swordsmanship" that was deeply loved by assassins. It used two thin swords, one short and one long, as weapons. During battle, it made use of light and shadow to create an illusion for the opponent.
Elvin, who had only heard of the name and had never fought with the user of this swordsmanship, did not know the proficiency of his opponent. For a moment, he was forced into a fluster. Even with his "White Sail Swordsmanship" that was close to the peak of the Proficient Level, it was the same.
However, Elvin believed that as long as he adapted a little, he would still be the final victor. His opponent's moves now seemed a hundred times more dangerous than before, but to an assassin, the outcome was already decided when the accumulated power of his attack while hidden failed.
Elvin understood this point, and Duncan naturally understood it even more. No one knew the strengths and weaknesses of his abilities better than him.
However, he did not dare to let this naval officer who had recognized his identity leave alive. Today, he would either kill him and leave, or die together with him!
He no longer wanted to live a life where he did not dare to drink water, eat, and be vigilant of all movements, ready to deal with assassins at any time! He wanted to live. He wanted to live a simple life as a free man!
Duncan's originally blue skin suddenly turned red, and his veins bulged as if his blood was flowing in reverse.
Now that he no longer needed the ability to hide, he had fully activated the life-risking skills of an assassin.
The two sides moved and exchanged positions again. Duncan crossed his swords and raised them high above his head. At this moment, the only light source on the battlefield was the bonfire in the cave behind him.
In the flickering light, the two specially made thin swords seemed to be drifting. After a gust of wind blew over the bonfire, the two swords disappeared at the same time.
"Die!"
This was the most powerful attack that Duncan had made with the secret Profound of "Saber Swordsmanship" and the Transcendent ability of "Ghost Lizard Shadow Thief".
[Profound — Shadow Cut!]
Elvin, who was opposite him, felt it the most. Even though he had created four phantoms with [Sword Style — Wave Jump], his spirit sense was still warning him that no matter where he dodged, he would be mercilessly slashed.
In a head-on battle, for the first time, Elvin felt a sense of danger that was not inferior to the violent slash of "Skook the White Shark". It was as if he was about to lose his life!
The needle-like premonition of danger made his pores stand up and his pupils contract. He could only sit and watch as the fatal attack approached him!
However, Elven didn't need to rely on himself to block this fatal strike.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Behind Duncan, countless mutated roots that had arrived in time suddenly sprang up. His arms, legs, waist … were tightly bound in an instant.
Under Elvin's command, the roots kept climbing up layer by layer, forming a huge vine ball. He could no longer exert any force, leaving only his head outside.
When is a swordsman at his weakest? Answer: Of course, it is at the moment when he attacks.
"Hey! Let me go! "
Duncan, who was already like a ball, was still struggling and roaring, trying to break free from the bondage, but it was all in vain.
Elvin's expression was unexpectedly a little conflicted. He had more and more means, but he was getting farther and farther away from being a pure Knight.
And it was foreseeable that after he completely received the inheritance of the "Tree of Life" school, he would only have more means.
The secret manual of the White Fan Swordsmanship described the Great Knight as follows: "Only a warrior who integrates fighting spirit and combat experience into his life and soul can condense his strong belief into a power that can interfere with reality, and become a one in a million Great Knight who can crush steel and arrows like breaking rotten wood!"
Although in the two levels of Apprentice and Official Knight, the pursuit of a stable path of Knight did not even have their own extraordinary energy, but at the level of Great Knight, there would be a qualitative change.
But this qualitative change had an abnormal requirement for a Knight's body and mind!
Today, Elvin could not help but wonder if he could really enter such a pure state.
In the past, Iven's level as an extraordinary knight had always been relatively low. He had just become an extraordinary knight and a wizard apprentice, so he couldn't imagine the distant future of a grand knight, which was considered to be in the upper class of the whole kingdom. But with the rapid increase of his strength, the Knight was getting closer and closer to the senior level, and the apprentice would soon enter the late stage.
This problem, which he did not care so much in the past, was now a problem that could not be ignored, placed in front of him.
