(Thanks to Haozi for the reward of two thousand starting coins, thank you (￣?￣)
Hyacintos' previous plan was to win steadily, intending to win based on the number of survivors according to the rules of the game.
But now that the situation has been reversed, if the Apollo Familia still wants to win, they can only choose another victory condition of seeking God in danger.
In addition to the end of the game time, where the winner is determined based on the number of players, another winning condition for this "ghost hunting game" is to eliminate the opponent's "ghost" player.
As long as the opponent's "ghosts" are eliminated, no matter how many people are left on the opponent's side, it will be directly judged as one's victory.
In a head-on battle, Jacintos is quite self-aware and knows clearly that he is definitely no match for the "Great Sage".
But now that I have the weapon "Perseus' Invisibility Helmet", it is not impossible to win by sneak attack!
"Perseus' Invisibility Helmet", in addition to completely hiding one's own aura, also has an "invisibility" active skill.
After using this skill, the wearer can enter a state of invisibility for up to an hour, but once an attack is made, the invisibility effect will be lifted.
The cooldown time of this skill is as long as fifteen days.
In other words, in a war game with a game time limit of only seven days, this ability can only be used once. This is also Jacintos's last trump card and hope.
As long as he perfectly conceals his aura and figure to the side of the "Great Sage", and then launches a surprise attack, Hyacintos will not have no hope of winning.
The "Great Sage" is very strong. If he fights head-on, his chances of winning are infinitely close to zero. However, if he attacks the opponent without the opponent being aware of it, Hyacintos feels that he still has great hope.
After all, no matter how strong the "Great Sage" is, Hyacintos is still an experienced LV3 adventurer. Even if Steel can't win head-on, he can't even do a sneak attack, right?
Of course, since there is only one chance to take action, Hyacintos has very little left, so he must at least confirm the hiding place of the "Great Sage" first.
Although all the search troops he sent out before were killed, they still searched most of Orario.
There are not many places left for the "Great Sage" to hide, and it has not been long since they combined with each other to become adventurers, plus some information that their Apollo family members searched for at the beginning.
In the end, Jacintos also targeted several places where the "Great Sage" might be hiding.
The first hiding place is the "Housemistress of Plenty" tavern, which is the home of the "Great Sage" and the place where he grew up.
The second hiding place is the stronghold of Hestia's family, the location of the most important family, and it is natural to hide in the safest and most familiar environment.
The third hiding place is the location of their Apollo Familia stronghold!
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. The "Great Sage" is a smart person, and it is very likely that he will play the trick of playing under the light.
Relying on the dark night and the ability to hide aura, Jacintos quickly explored these three locations.
And when Hyacinthus saw a certain figure in the stronghold of their Apollo family, Hyacinthus couldn't help but praise his own wit.
In such a headwind situation, he, Hyacintos, was able to search for the "Great Sage" in the maze city of Nuo Da in just one day. With such agility and wisdom, I wonder who else is there!
This game space was created by the gods. Since there was no supply of magic stones, "Wood" and Lyu in the room could only build a bonfire.
The lighting range of the firelight was very limited, but Hyacintos, who was hiding in the dark, did not dare to get too close.
"Wood, are you still unable to find the leader of Apollo's family, Hyacintos?"
The people sitting next to the bonfire were a man and a woman. With the weak firelight, Jacintos could see clearly that the man among them was the "Great Sage" he was looking for.
As for the woman speaking at this moment, she is an elf, and she seems to be specifically responsible for being left to protect the "Great Sage".
"Yeah, I can't feel his aura at all, maybe I used some magic props, right?
Obviously my perception ability can accurately sense everyone in this city, but it is really strange that I can't find the aura of that Jacintos."
After hearing "Wood"'s answer, Jacintos, who was hiding in the dark, had a look of sudden realization on his face, and understood the reason why their army would be annihilated.
I didn't expect that the "Great Sage" would have such a powerful perception ability, so it's no wonder that their plan was aborted.
He originally thought that his game was foolproof, but he didn't expect that every move they made was under the control of the "Great Sage".
No wonder the opponent was so calm and composed at the beginning. In a game like "ghost hunting", the opponent's ability to perceive the whole map is too shameless.
"Fortunately, Lord Apollo prepared this 'Perseus' Invisibility Helmet' for me before. Otherwise, wouldn't I be..."
Thinking of the combat prowess displayed by Hestia's family, Jacintos could not imagine what would happen if he, like everyone else, had been identified from the beginning.
I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to make a comeback...
"After all, it is a 'war game' that concerns the life and death of the family members. It is normal for Apollo's family members to be prepared.
Although we haven't found Hyacinthus, the 'ghost' in Apollo's family, we are almost guaranteed to win this game.
Excluding today, although we have to wait for another six days, once the game time is over, our side with the greater number of people will win."
What the elf girl said also made Jacintos, who was hiding in the dark, clenched his fists.
“Although this is indeed the case, we should not be too careless.
Aisi and the others are also tired today. If they do a simple search and there are no fish that have slipped through the net, they will be gathered together tomorrow. From now on until the end of the game, all of you will be responsible for protecting me.
Even though that Hyacintos is just a LV3 adventurer, I will always feel a little uneasy if you are the only one protecting me."
Hearing "Wood"'s answer to the elf girl, Jacintos, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but flash his eyes at this moment.
Because in what "Wood" just said, he captured a lot of important information.
That is, the current "Wood" is only protected by the elf. But once tomorrow comes, the "Sword Lady" and others will come back after repairing, and they will protect the "Great Sage" every step of the way.
This means that the current "Great Sage" is at his most defenseless!
And once Sword Lady and the others come back tomorrow, even with a weapon like "Perseus' Invisibility Helmet", if Hyacintos wants to succeed in a sneak attack, the difficulty will increase exponentially!
"Wood, your character is too cautious. You didn't mention today's defeat, which caused the commander of the Apollo Families to collapse.
How could he have thought that your hiding place would be the headquarters of their family members.
Anyway, I don’t think that guy is that smart, and there shouldn’t be any problems tonight, so I’m going to bed first, and don’t blame me for my negligence as a guard.”
Hyacintos, who was originally hesitating whether to take action, suddenly lit up when he heard what the elf said and watched him stretch out and leave!
Hyacintos, who had discovered the hiding place of the "Great Sage" and was prepared to act cautiously and go back to make some calculations before taking action, suddenly hesitated at this moment.
It is said that time has not waited for me, but now the defense around the "Great Sage" is empty, and they, the Apollo Familia, were defeated just today, so the opponent is already careless.
In addition, the other party probably did not expect that he was so far-sighted and found out their hiding place in a short period of time. Isn't now the best time for him to make a move?
If you choose to go home today, then tomorrow the "Great Sage" will be surrounded by Sword Lady and other people, and the other party will also become more cautious.
"Yeah, just do it! If you hesitate, you will lose. There won't be much opportunity and time left for me.
I, Hyacinthus, the darling of the sun, will definitely deliver victory to Lord Apollo this time!"
After just a few minutes of hesitation, Jacintos decided to launch a sneak attack now.
The reason is also very simple. Even if I go back first this time, I am just waiting for the opportunity and looking for the right time to make a move.
And he, Jacintos, judged that now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he wanted to win the final victory, success or failure would depend on this!
After confirming that the elf named Lyu had left, Jacintos also decisively chose to use the active skill of "Perseus Stealth Helmet".
With the use of skills, his figure gradually became transparent under the night, as if blending into the dark environment around him.
"Perfect! Unfortunately, this skill only lasts for one hour, and when launching an attack, the figure will be exposed.
In other words, there is only one chance. If the sneak attack fails, there is no possibility of successful escape due to the difference in combat power between me and the "Great Sage".
No, even if I successfully escape, I will not have a second chance with a skill that has a cooldown time of 15 days."
Taking out his dagger from behind, Jacintos's expression was full of caution, and he approached "Wood" by the bonfire with very slight steps.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters... two meters, when Jacintos' figure came to a place only a few steps away from Wood, looking at the back of "Wood" not far away, Jacinto
Si also stopped moving forward immediately.
In order to kill with one strike, he must adjust his condition to the best, and even find a way to calm down his rapid heartbeat.
When Jacintos came to the place behind "Wood", only half a meter away, his mood was undoubtedly exciting.
Because at this distance, the other party has not noticed him yet, which means that his assassination operation has almost been more than half successful.
At this distance, Hyacintos can already start to attack and kill. If it were anyone else, even the LV5 and LV6 adventurers, Hyacintos would be sure to successfully kill the opponent without them being aware of it.
.
However, considering that the opponent was the "Great Sage" and had only one chance, Hyacintos finally held his breath and chose to get closer to "Wood" before taking action.
In just two short steps, the time it took Jacintos to walk was longer than the time it took to walk dozens of meters before.
It was obviously just a few small steps, but Jacintos fully realized what it means to be startling every step of the way!
However, hard work paid off, and after his frightening efforts, his figure finally came to a place very close to the "Great Sage".
At such a distance, even if the opponent is Orario's only LV7, the ultimate weapon "The Fierce" Otta, he, Hyacintos, is sure to kill the opponent.
If he wanted to kill someone with one blow, the only targets would be the head and heart, and just in case, he, Jacintos, had already applied poison on the dagger in advance!
"It's over, 'Great Sage'! The final victory belongs to us, the Apollo family, after all!"
The moment the dagger pierced through, Jacintos couldn't help shouting excitedly.
At such a distance, even if the "Great Sage" turned around, it was already too late. Such a perfect shocking kill, if you don't show off and let the other party know that he died at the hands of his own Jacintos, what does that have to do with salted fish?
the difference?
When he heard the sound he made, "Wood" turned around with a look of panic and surprise. When he saw the other party's expression, Jacintos finally breathed his last breath.
After reading too many novels, he was worried that when he was about to kill, the opponent would suddenly turn around and shoot him an "evil smile", and then complete the reversal and kill him.
But now from the other party's expression, it was not difficult for Jacintos to see that the other party was really panicked because of his assassination.
Very good, everything is as expected, but this is normal. After all, those reversal routines and so on are plots in novels, but this is reality.
"Click——————!"
However, just when the dagger was very close to "Wood", and an ecstatic expression even filled Jacintos' entire face, the dagger he thrust out was suddenly held by a hand that appeared out of thin air.
The other party was wearing a robe that completely concealed his figure, even half of his face was covered.
But these are not important. The important point is that the other party not only appeared in front of him without warning, but also used a black hand to directly resist his shocking kill!
"Unfortunately, the victory you expected has been firmly in my hands from the beginning and has nothing to do with you Apollo family members."
Seeing the stranger who suddenly appeared holding his dagger with his bare hands and saying these words at the same time, the expression on Jacintos's face began to change drastically at this moment.
