The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 79 The Competition Between Killers

"So easy?"

Looking at Herder's body in front of him, Yatimu couldn't help frowning.

His first reaction was that someone had tampered with it.

A little thought leads to this conclusion.

Herder didn't have an accident early, and didn't have an accident late, but it happened after he fought Yatimu, and he became a corpse directly.

Doesn't this explain the problem?
Presumably, those people hiding behind Herder's back had done something to make Herder die suddenly, so as not to leak their news.

I have to say that although this idea is somewhat inconsistent with the real situation, it is also very logical.

If Herder survived this time, with the character of Tina and the others, they would try to deal with Herder in the future to solve this hidden danger.

This is the basic quality of a killer.

But originally, even if they had this idea, they didn't move so fast.

Herder's death saved them a lot of trouble.

Standing in place, looking at Herder's body in front of him, Yatimu hesitated for a moment, and was about to move forward and dispose of the body.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion outside.

A figure roared past from the side and rushed out.

"Who!"

Yatimu immediately woke up.

Not far away, a fireball condensed out and rushed towards Yatimu at a very fast speed.

"Mage?"

This thought flashed in Yatimu's mind, and he turned his body slightly to avoid it.

boom!
There was a light sound on the spot, and a huge pothole appeared directly on the ground, and there was a faint flame burning in it.

The power of this blow can be seen.

Yatim couldn't help frowning.

Because he could feel that the figure beside him hadn't disappeared, and was still lurking around.

The other party seemed quite cautious.

Yatim turned sideways slightly, his body leaning to one side.

In the shadow behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, it should be a young man.

The man wore a mask on his face, and there was no aura escaping from his body, not even the slightest murderous intent escaping.

The moment he appeared, the dagger in his hand stabbed towards Yatimu.

The shadowy power in this blow is not only extremely concealed, without the slightest breath, but also the power contained in it is quite terrifying.

If he is hit by this blow, even if he does not die, he may be seriously injured.

The short sword stabbed forward, and it was about to stab Yatimu's body, but it was blocked at a critical moment.

A long sword stretched forward, blocked the front at the critical moment, and blocked the opponent's attack.

The man was startled, and then he saw Yatim's calm face.

At this moment, Yatimu had already turned around, walked up to him, and then slashed down with his sword.

Pale white light flashed by, and in the process of fierce fighting, the life energy in the body was erupting violently, and it was blessed on Yatimu's weapon, bringing extremely powerful power to this blow.

At such a short distance, with Yatimu's strength, it is impossible to miss anyway.

Accompanied by a light bang, the figure in front of him flew upside down.

Watching the opponent's body flying across the sky, Yatimu frowned.

"This feeling."

He recalled the feeling just now, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

He did hit the sword just now, but it didn't have the feeling of being cut on a flesh and blood body, instead it was like hitting something solid.

Looking carefully, a tiny ripple appeared on the body of the man in front of him, rippling like a layer of water waves, and then gradually dimmed.

Is this a magic item?

Yatim suddenly realized.

The so-called magic items are some special things made by mages.

Because of the power of the mage, most of these crafted items have some special abilities, so they are also called magic items.

Yatimu had seen similar magic items in Horde Academy before, but it was the first time Yatimu had seen such magic items that could directly resist attacks.

From the looks of it, it was this magic item that allowed the opponent to survive and was not directly killed by Yatimu.

But that's okay too.

Since one blow is not enough, then just another blow.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yatimu continued to move forward, ready to strike the opponent with another sword.

But at this time, the familiar feeling from before resurfaced again.

That feeling of being locked by some kind of force, as if you could be hurt at any time.
Feeling this feeling, Yatimu's body subconsciously moved sideways, and then moved to a certain place for a while.

Sure enough, at the next moment, the previous fireball reappeared and bombarded Yatimu's previous position.

boom!
The fireball bombarded the ground, but what followed was not burning, but layers of smoke.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Until the next moment, a figure rushed out again.

That's Yatim.

Carrying the aftermath of the spell abruptly, he charged directly at the shadow warrior before him, slashing down with his sword.

The pale golden long sword cut across a layer of sword shadow, emitting a faint brilliance in conjunction with the life energy.

This time, the obstacle of the previous magic item is still there, but it is not as powerful as before.

Faint ripples rippled on the surface of the other party's body, and then they were directly broken, losing their effect so far.

The man's chest was cut, and he was almost cut in half by the sword.

He looked at Yatim in front of him, and his heart was full of horror at the moment.

Heavy pain came from all over his body, it was the remaining life energy in his body rioting, causing damage to his body.

But no matter what, the existence of that magic item gave him a glimmer of life.

Taking advantage of the gap where Yatimu was locked again, his body merged into the shadows and disappeared from each other.

Except for some bloodstains in the original place, which proved its previous traces, there was nothing to see its existence.

Looking at this scene, Yadimu was not surprised, but a little regretful.

"It's still a step behind."

The thought flashed through his mind.

Shadow Warrior, this is a very special profession, able to integrate with the ubiquitous shadow power, lurking itself under the shadow.

Because of the strong concealment brought by this characteristic, the Shadow Warrior is also the best killer and hunter.

Facing this kind of opponent, with the help of others, it is only normal for him to accidentally leave and escape.

Standing in place for a moment, Yatimu looked around.

Now, the ever-present lock-in feeling before has also disappeared.

It seemed that it was confirmed that Yatimu could not be dealt with, so after the companion left, the mage who was lurking in the dark also left, and did not stay here to entangle.

This made Yatimu feel quite a pity.

Although the sorcerer was lurking very well, he still showed some traces when he cast spells a few times before.

As long as you give Yatim a little more time, Yatim can find the opponent's position and give him a sword directly.

It's a pity that the other party was a little too cautious. After realizing that he was not an opponent, he immediately chose to leave.

No work ethic as a killer at all.

Yatim felt sorry for this.

But when he turned around afterwards, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Because in the front, Herder's body had disappeared at some point.

what's the situation?
Standing where he was, Yadimu was stunned for a moment.

"when."

He can be sure that neither the shadow warrior nor the mage had the chance to attack Herder's body before.

Just now, Yatimu concentrated all his energy on these two people. If they really made such obvious moves, Yatimu would definitely not be able to ignore them.

But now, Herder's body just disappeared?
Is there a third person on the scene?
Yatim quickly realized this possibility.

Under his full attention, the two people who made the shot before had absolutely no chance to do these small tricks secretly.

Unless there are other people lurking around, it is possible to secretly take away Herder's body while Yatimu is fighting with the previous two with all his strength.

But if this is the case, then the problem arises again.

Since they still have more powerhouses lurking, why didn't they take all of them at the beginning and take Yatimu down?
Dealing with the previous two, Yatimu was already struggling. If there were one or two strong players, even if Yatimu could not be taken down, he would definitely be able to suppress Yatimu.

But they didn't.

Or, from the very beginning, their goal was not Yatimu, but Herder's corpse?

Looking at the location where Herder's body was before, Yatimu was a little puzzled.

Now, on the other side.

"Are those two people sent by the organization?"

In a corner, Oli looked at Tina in front of him, and asked with some doubts.

"What do you think?"

Listening to Oli's question, Tina gave him a blank stare: "Of course not."

"We have accepted this mission for so long. If the organization still wants to send reinforcements, there is no reason why we will not be notified."

"Those two are probably sent by other organizations, and their purpose may be the same as ours."

"Including the situation with Axius this time, it may be initiated by this organization."

Tina shook her head and said, "After all, we are not the only ones who want Axius to die now."

"God knows how many organizations that group of people have entrusted to."

"Maybe all the organizations in the Huo De Kingdom have already accepted the entrustment."

"Then what do we do?"

Hearing the situation, Oli frowned, and asked, "Do you want to get ahead of those people and get rid of Aisius?"

In theory, more people want to kill Aishus, which means more potential allies.

But these allies are also potential adversaries.

After all, there is only one Axius, but there are many who want this head.

In this respect, these people are not only helpers, but also opponents.

"If it's an ordinary task, then of course it's right"

Putting Herder's body in front of her eyes, Tina said, "But this mission is not like this."
