Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 453 Escape
“…You actually left?”

Noshir in the tunnel slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head in confusion.

Ever since his sixth sense warned him, Noshier had been in a standoff with the enemy in the dark in this tunnel for 15 minutes. During this period of standoff, the feeling of danger had been like a roaring radar, constantly beeping around him.

There is no doubt that the hidden enemy that could bring him such a strong sense of crisis must be the evil thoughts. In order to deal with the attacks from the evil thoughts that might be launched at any time, Noshil even completely abandoned his mundane vision and focused only on his body's instinct for crisis, and constantly deepened his connection with the beast spirit power in his body.

In order to deal with the most dangerous attack of the evil thoughts, Noshier has used all his abilities, but from the beginning, the piercing sense of crisis actually receded like the ebbing tide, and the occurrence of such a thing only represents a possibility.

"The evil thoughts...actually retreated."

In the tunnel, Nosher closed his eyes again, trying to capture even the slightest sense of crisis through his extraordinary perception, but the fact was that the feeling had completely disappeared.

Noshil believed in his own senses. This mysterious sixth sense was genuine. It was the body's instinctive reaction to predators and dangerous environments. It was the sharp intuition that had been trained through countless trials and tribulations, coupled with the amplification from the magical level. The final judgment was made through the combination of the two. So his feeling could definitely not be wrong. But that did not mean that the evil thoughts had actually retreated?

"...You're not retreating because you don't have the confidence to beat me, right?"

Noshier talked to himself in a joking tone, but when he saw Catheric being roasted over a low fire by a predator, and thought of the 15-minute confrontation, Noshier's expression gradually became strange.

"...I don't think it's that serious... Never mind. No matter what the reason is, since everyone has left, there's no need for me to stay any longer. Come on, Kitty, let's continue on our way. This time, run slower. I'm a little worried that the guy might be waiting to ambush me at some intersection ahead."

After making sure that the danger had really subsided, Noshier set out on his return journey again. As for the other side...

In the dark and deep tunnel, an invisible and intangible transparent object was retreating to the Moonrise Tower on the surface at the fastest speed it could achieve!

This transparent object was naturally Xie Nian himself. If someone could see through his invisible face at this moment, they would find that his already hideous and terrifying dragon head had become twisted with anger! His powerful jaws were tightly clenched together, causing blood to ooze from his dense and sharp teeth!

These characteristics are enough to prove how strong the anger in Xie Nian's heart is at this moment! But what happened to make him so angry?

"I... I actually ran away. I actually faced my chosen enemy in such a cowardly way! But that damned hell bastard, that damned bastard! How could he... be so strong! "Yes, this is the ultimate reason why Xie Nian was so angry, because he retreated, no, to be more accurate, he ran away, because he had no confidence in defeating Noshir.

This matter seemed very ridiculous and unbelievable to Xie Nian, the son of killing, the pure-blooded heir of Baal, who possessed the form of a killer. But no matter how unimaginable it was, this was the judgment that Xie Nian made personally under the circumstances at that time.

There were many reasons that supported him in making such a judgment, including Catheric Som, who was completely stripped of all his equipment and had no ability to fight back, the ridiculously large mechanical beast made entirely of steel, and the fact that no matter what action he wanted to take, as long as he wanted to attack Noshil, he would be able to detect it in advance and make a perfect response.

After all, the last point is the most important reason that makes Xie Nian admit that he is no match for Noshir and make this inference.

For an assassin who relies on perfect stealth skills and superb ambush methods to kill with one blow, facing an opponent who can sense danger before launching an attack and make a perfect response in that instant, and who can directly injure or even kill the assassin with just a random counterattack, is really too exaggerated for him in any way.

Every time! Every time! As long as he raised the dagger in his hand, that guy would close his eyes and shift his face to his position, as if his advanced invisibility had completely failed. And when he tried to bite the bullet and attack before he could react, the pair of iron fists that posed a fatal threat to him would instantly take an attacking posture, as if to welcome him into a trap!
How could there be someone in this world with such a keen sense? This sentence, this thought, flashed back and forth countless times in Xie Nian's mind during the 15-minute confrontation.

During the 15-minute long confrontation, Xie Nian changed his position countless times in the dark and tried countless attack angles, but as long as he got close to that range, no matter how much effort he made, how much he used the venue environment, or even used the power of his own holy blood to transform himself into a harmless animal, no matter how much effort he made, no matter how much he used the venue environment, he would be in trouble.

But even so! As long as he gets within 30 feet of that guy, the shadow of death will instantly cover Xie Nian's body! Xie Nian instantly realized that even though he couldn't show the posture of a giant, just in his normal state, that guy was still an absolute monster!

After realizing this, Xie Nian gave up the idea of ​​continuing the assassination at this time, but... although this decision was made out of pure rationality, for Xie Nian, this decision itself has already made one thing clear.

That is, during the 15-minute confrontation, Xie Nian, the active assassin, became the pathetic clown who could not withstand the pressure and chose to retreat first...

This kind of shame, just the thought of it, was enough to twist Xie Nian's already twisted heart into a ball. The pride of being the son of God made him unable to forgive himself for making this decision!
'It won't end here. This is far from over.'

In the shadows, Xie Nian stopped his retreat, lifted his invisibility, and stared deeply at the red flames behind him with his scarlet eyes.

"...Noshir."
