"Be careful!" Bonnie only had time to shout these two words, and rushed towards Roger desperately to help him resist the attack. [ ] However, the cold light came too fast, and just as the female knight began to react, Roger
Already been hit.
Fortunately, Roger's magic ring came into play in time, and a magic shield appeared instantly, blocking him from this unforeseen attack. However, even the magic shield could not completely offset the attack, and Roger could only feel the pain on his back.
A pain, as if he had been injured.
At the same time, the fireball technique stored in the magic ring was also activated, and flew out with a bang. Roger, who turned around, was wondering why the fireball did not aim at the sneak attacker but shot into the open space, just a few steps away.
The fireball exploded with a "boom".
A huge shock wave came towards Roger. Fortunately, he was already strong enough to barely stand firm during the explosion. He quickly took out the sword from the castle warehouse and retreated at full speed.
Seeing that Roger didn't seem to be in serious trouble, Bonnie finally felt a little relieved. The female knight held a long sword and guarded Roger closely to prevent him from being attacked again.
At this time, the dust stirred up by the fireball explosion began to slowly subside, and a thin figure slowly emerged in the haze. This guy was wearing a strange costume, and his clothes were covered with lines composed of different shades of gray and khaki.
, even the mask and gloves are the same, and they look somewhat similar to camouflage uniforms.
This weird costume covered the attacker's entire body, revealing only a pair of gloomy but murderous eyes. Facing these eyes, Roger felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but feel chills.
The attack made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At the same time, he felt that the wound on his back was bleeding, and he didn't know whether the injury was serious or not.
But there was no time to bandage the wound now, so Roger took out a bottle of primary healing potion from the castle warehouse and poured it into his mouth. These potions were prepared by him before departure, and they came in handy at this time.
This guy was holding a similarly dusty dagger in his hand. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard for Bonnie to believe that this very ordinary dagger just erupted with such a bright cold light. This also made the female knight vaguely understand,
The strength of this killer is far superior to Roger and his own. A fierce battle today is inevitable, and both of them may die in it.
The killer's snake-like eyes moved back and forth between Roger and Bonnie, as if he was deciding who to kill first. As one of the top ten killers in the Killers' Guild, the killer's achievements today are definitely not due to luck. Since accepting
After Vattel's entrustment, he had been secretly monitoring Roger, trying his best to find out all the circumstances of the assassination target, from his strength to his usual habits and even his personality.
After learning that Roger was going to the Golden Wasteland to wipe out the orcs, Viper also followed him to the Golden Wasteland. His original plan was to secretly monitor him, hoping that Roger would be killed in the battle with the orcs, so that he could get paid without having to do it himself.
Who knew that those idiot orcs were beaten to a pulp by Roger? Obviously they couldn't count on them anymore. So the Viper made a prompt decision and took advantage of the fewest soldiers around Roger to launch a sneak attack on him, hoping to successfully escape with one blow.
.
However, Viper obviously didn't know Roger well enough. He didn't expect that this guy who had just become a noble for less than a year would actually have such a good thing as a magic ring that combines offense and defense. So Viper not only missed the blow he was determined to win, but also missed it.
All his traces were exposed.
However, Viper is a junior Silver level expert after all. Although the fireball technique came suddenly, he dodged it in time and did not suffer any damage. With Viper's strength, even if he fights Roger and Bonnie head-on, he will not fall.
At a disadvantage. As long as the poisonous snake can seize the opportunity to hurt any one of them, the other party will have no choice but to be slaughtered by him.
"Hiss... this girl is pretty good. After I kill you, I will enjoy her." Viper made a strange "hissing" sound when he spoke. That's how his nickname came from. As a senior killer,
Of course, the Viper will not do any useless things while "working". He definitely does not say this just to show off his words, but to anger his opponent. When a person is angry, he will lose his calm judgment and become irritable.
And radical, such enemies are undoubtedly easier to deal with.
To Viper's satisfaction, his words did have some effect. The female knight was obviously angry. Not only did her eyebrows frown more tightly, but her breathing became rapid.
"Who sent you to kill me?" The expression on Roger's face was both frightened and angry, and he almost asked this question in a completely different voice than usual.
Roger's performance in The Viper is no different from other assassination targets. These poor guys always seem to ask the same questions before they die. It seems that if they know who is behind the scenes, they can escape the assassination or face death calmly.
As if.
Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth under the viper mask twitched slightly. He was about to name a few people closest to Roger to stimulate him, but suddenly he took out a strange-looking thing from somewhere and was using one end of it.
Target yourself.
"What?" A trace of curiosity flashed through the viper's mind, but his body did not stop. Out of the instinct of wandering on the edge of death for many years, the killer changed his position as quickly as possible. Rule 3 of the Assassin's Code: Don't
Let any unknown object be pointed at you!
"!" Just when the viper had just moved, a gunshot rang out. The bullet hit the place where the viper had just stood, stirring up a huge puff of dust and smoke.
Roger just deliberately asked the killer who sent him here. In fact, it was just to distract the other party. The real purpose was to scare him and shoot him. Unexpectedly, the killer was so vigilant and moved at an alarming speed.
This unexpected shot was not fired!
Viper was also startled. He put away his contempt for Roger and suddenly rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. No killer likes to remain calm in the face of death, or even set a trap to launch a counterattack. Viper
I finally understand that fighting psychological warfare with the opponent is futile, and now I can only rely on my true strength to kill the target.
The Viper, who was good at hiding his whereabouts, even when he was charging at full speed, his footsteps were so light that it was almost inaudible. His speed was astonishingly fast, and he rushed in front of Roger in almost the blink of an eye. The Viper's luck and vindictiveness lifted the dagger in his hand.
When it was slashed towards Roger's throat, only then would the inconspicuous dagger erupt with lightning-like light, reminding the target that his life was about to end.
"I'll wipe it!" The astonishing speed of the poisonous snake made it impossible for Roger to aim at him and fire a second shot. At this critical moment, he could only block with his sword and use the spine of the sword to block the path of the dagger.
Although Roger's strength is a whole level lower than that of Viper, he is practicing the Dragon Slaying Swordsmanship Compendium after all. In terms of swordsmanship alone, he can be considered a good strong man. This time the block was very successful.
The tip of the dagger hit Roger's sword hard, making a crisp "ding" sound. Roger felt a huge force coming from the sword, which made him involuntarily take several steps back before he could barely stand still.
"Jie Jie..." The poisonous snake let out a weird laugh that made people's hair stand on end, and rushed forward again.
With the experience from the last time, this time the Viper's attack did not go in a straight line like before. The dagger in his hand drew a complicated attack route at an extremely fast speed. Even Roger knew exactly where the dagger would stab him.
Where. Just when Roger was stunned for a moment, the dagger of the viper hand suddenly changed its trajectory and stabbed him directly in the throat.
Roger quickly moved the sword to block, and tried his best to dodge to the side. However, as soon as his body moved, the dagger suddenly changed its direction and cut horizontally towards Roger's chest. This time Roger could no longer dodge, and he tried his best to inhale.
He contracted his chest, and although he escaped the fatal blow, a long wound was still pulled out by the dagger in his chest.
The severe pain made Roger's whole body tremble, and blood immediately poured out from the wound. This time the injury was much more serious than the one on his back, and the clothes on Roger's chest were soon soaked with blood.
This time, the viper was well prepared. After Roger was injured, he launched attacks continuously, leaving him too tired to deal with and had no chance to drink the healing potion. Bonnie, who was beside her, was anxious in her eyes, and took advantage of the two of them to separate for a while.
When the chance came, he immediately waved his sword and joined the battle group.
However, even one against two Vipers was more than enough, forcing Roger and Bonnie to panic. There seemed to be only one level difference between the Silver Junior and the Bronze Advanced, but the gap in strength was huge. No wonder the Vipers dared to face two enemies alone.
Because Bonnie was worried about Roger's safety, she got a little impatient during an attack, and was immediately seized by the poisonous snake. The dagger made a "chi" sound on the female knight's arm and opened a deep wound on the female knight's arm, and blood instantly poured out.
come out.
"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Roger quickly pressed hard on Bonnie's wound and said with concern: "You go first!"
Of course, Bonnie would not leave Roger and escape. The female knight stubbornly shook her head, her eyes still fixed on the poisonous snake not far away.
Seeing that both enemies were injured, Viper launched a more violent attack, intending to end the battle as soon as possible. At the same time, a series of rapid footsteps sounded not far away, and Roger's soldiers finally arrived.
When he was just assassinated, Roger used his spiritual link to summon the surrounding soldiers. However, because the soldiers were far away, it took some time to arrive. Even Roger himself did not expect that in this short period of time,
, the assassin seriously injured himself and Bonnie.
Viper was a little surprised when he heard the footsteps of the soldiers. He deliberately waited until no one was around before taking action. He thought Roger's men would not ruin his plan at all, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
"Your people have returned." Viper said in his unique weird voice: "But it doesn't matter, I will kill you two before they arrive!"
As soon as Viper finished speaking, a dagger suddenly appeared in his left hand. The assassin holding the double daggers seemed to be a different person. The original sinister and dark temperament on his body was completely gone, replaced by a cold killing intent.
"Die!" Viper shouted, and two daggers stabbed at Roger and Bonnie's throats like lightning. This time, his speed was much faster than before, leaving Roger and Bonnie with no time to dodge.
