Traceless Blood's movements were extremely fast. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
He did not give Violet Cloud any opportunity to cast a Spell.
Traceless Blood knew a little about Violet Cloud. She was extremely powerful. If he gave her a moment to catch her breath, his assassination attempt might fail. Hence, he had spent a lot of time slowly approaching Violet Cloud, using Shadow Steps at its maximum distance. By the time Violet Cloud reacted, it would already be too late.
The dagger engraved with black runes easily tore through the air and landed on Violet Cloud's back.
After succeeding with his first attack, Traceless Blood immediately used Absolute Strike, the Assassin class's highest damage Skill. Instead of using a Skill like Backstab, he chose to use Absolute Strike, which did not require any attack movements.
Suddenly, Traceless Blood transformed into a streak of black light as he passed through Violet Cloud.
Arriving before Violet Cloud, Traceless Blood spun in the air and used the strongest Skill attached to his dagger, Flowing Light. Flowing Light's single-target damage was much higher than Absolute Strike's. Moreover, Flowing Light was much faster. The entire process took only a moment to complete.
"You!"
Traceless Blood's eyes widened in shock as he stared at his dagger in disbelief. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pierce through Violet Cloud's pale golden robes. It was as if the robes were made of Divine Iron, invulnerable to weapons.
"You really are amazing. If I hadn't used Absolute Space immediately, I would've been a dead man by now." Violet Cloud glanced at the dagger engraved with black magic runes. The black magic runes looked very familiar. They were similar to the magic runes that only the Magic Weapons she was familiar with would have. The power of a Magic Weapon was astonishing. If struck, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Traceless Blood was surprised that his attack had failed, he immediately turned around and dashed away. He no longer had any intentions of attacking. He knew that he could no longer cause any damage to Violet Cloud. Moreover, he did not know how long Absolute Space would last. During this time, he would be a live target. The only thing he could do was dodge.
"You can't escape!"
Violet Cloud no longer dared to give Traceless Blood any chance to escape. Absolute Space's Cooldown was quite long. If she let Traceless Blood escape … If Traceless Blood escaped and attacked her again, she would not be able to stop him.
With a wave of her finger, Violet Cloud used the Tier 1 Skill, Star's Guidance.
Suddenly, an incomparably powerful gravitational force pulled Traceless Blood back, forcing him to retreat towards Violet Cloud.
"What kind of skill is this?" This was the first time Traceless Blood had seen such a strange skill. It was as if his entire body was being pulled by a string, madly pulling him back.
With no other choice, Traceless Blood used a Control Removal Skill to remove Star's Guidance.
"Saint Seal!"
Seeing that her attack had failed, Violet Cloud used the Cleric's Marking Skill, Holy Seal. A ray of holy light appeared above Traceless Blood's head, preventing him from using Stealth or Invisibility.
"Damn it, he even learned such a skill." Traceless Blood grew anxious as he looked at the golden magic symbol that had appeared on his body. If he couldn't become invisible … This was simply too disadvantageous for him. At that time, he would not be able to approach Violet Cloud stealthily. "I can only hide for now and wait for the Holy Seal to disappear."
Before Traceless Blood could run a few steps, a black shadow rushed straight at him.
"Don't even think about leaving!" Jian Ying raised Storm's Breath and used Charge at Traceless Blood.
Traceless Blood had already used up his Control Removal Skill, so he had no choice but to use Wind Steps, using the one second of invulnerability to block Jian Ying's Charge. Turning his body to the side, Traceless Blood flipped his dagger and stabbed it at Jian Ying's abdomen.
Kidney Strike!
As long as a Skill was Fainted for two or three seconds … It was enough for Traceless Blood to escape.
Jian Ying did not bother blocking the attack. Instead, he used Whirlwind Slash, Storm's Breath landing on Traceless Blood's body. He was trading damage for damage.
Traceless Blood had no choice but to retreat abruptly. He dodged Jian Ying's Whirlwind Slash.
He was only an Assassin. How could a normal weapon's damage possibly compare to a Berserker's? Moreover, he wore leather armor, while a Berserker wore plate armor. Even if he had a Magic Weapon, both sides would suffer in the end. However, Jian Ying had a healer, Violet Cloud, by his side. Hence, he did not have to worry about exhausting himself. Hence, he did not have to worry about attacking. Traceless Blood, on the other hand, was in the rear of the enemy camp. There was no healer to heal him.
After dodging Jian Ying's attack, Traceless Blood gave up on the fight and turned to flee.
One was an expert Cleric, while the other was an expert Berserker. Traceless Blood did not have much confidence in defeating either of them, not to mention both at the same time.
However, Jian Ying had no intention of letting Traceless Blood get away so easily. Immediately, he began to tangle with Traceless Blood, using Tendon Break and Thunderclap. The dual Movement Speed Reduction effects made it impossible for Traceless Blood to outrun Jian Ying.
Seeing this, Traceless Blood had no choice but to engage in a melee battle.
Peng!
When their weapons collided, dazzling sparks flew.
Traceless Blood could not help but retreat three steps. His expression turned grim as he watched Jian Ying, who had not taken a single step back.
How is his Strength so high?! Traceless Blood believed that his Strength Attribute was not low. In fact, it was slightly higher than an ordinary Berserker's. Yet, against Jian Ying's attacks, he had been completely suppressed. The Magic Weapon in his hand increased his Strength to a certain extent. Even if his Strength Attribute was slightly higher, he should not have been forced to retreat three steps. At this moment, his hands were still numb. Ling Yi actually has so many peak experts?
At this moment, Violet Cloud finished chanting her incantation. She then pointed a finger at Traceless Blood.
Tier 1 Spell, Black Coffin!
Suddenly, a pitch-black barrier enveloped Traceless Blood.
Traceless Blood had no choice but to use Vanish. After Vanish, he would become invincible for a short period of time. He could then enter Stealth for three seconds. Even with the Sacred Seal, which granted him three seconds of Forced Invisibility, those three seconds were enough for him to escape.
"Vanish?" Jian Ying was also helpless against this situation.
Among the twelve major classes, the Assassin class had the strongest survivability. Unless one possessed a Silencing ability, it would be very difficult to kill an expert Assassin.
After three seconds, Traceless Blood had already put some distance between himself and Jian Ying. At this distance, not even Charge could reach him. In terms of speed, Assassins were an Agility-based class. Naturally, their Agility growth was extremely high. Naturally, they were also very fast. In addition, Traceless Blood's equipment also increased his Speed.
This was also the reason why Traceless Blood had been able to escape after assassinating Galaxy Past.
"What is this?" Suddenly, Traceless Blood discovered a black magic array beneath his feet.
Although Traceless Blood tried to break free, this black magic array was like a black hole. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fate of being devoured.
Suddenly, the black magic array devoured Traceless Blood, and he disappeared from where he stood.
When Traceless Blood saw the light again, he was immediately shocked.
"How is this possible?!"
He had actually reappeared a short distance away from Violet Cloud. Meanwhile, Mana Balls and Barriers of Light surrounded him. There was also a Berserker Jian Ying. He simply could not leave the range of the Barriers of Light.
"I already said that you can't escape." Violet Cloud held a pitch-black key in her hand. Looking at Traceless Blood, she smiled faintly and said, "You have a Magic Weapon, but so do I."
In order to get rid of this troublesome Traceless Blood, Violet Cloud had used her final trump card, Star's Reminiscence. It was also one of the main weapons of Astromancers. One of its Skills was Spatial Imprisonment.
After locking on to a target, Spatial Imprisonment had no duration. If the target wished to escape, they would have to shatter the Spatial Barrier. Meanwhile, the amount of damage the Spatial Barrier could absorb depended on the user's Mana. Alternatively, the user could remove the Spatial Barrier. Although Spatial Imprisonment was an extremely powerful Skill, it also had a very long Cooldown of two hours.
"I actually lost, just like that," Traceless Blood could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the Mana Balls and Jian Ying, who was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey.
