king of the castle

Chapter 301 Assassin

"Be careful!" Bonnie only had time to shout these two words, and rushed to Roger desperately to help him resist the attack. 【】However, the cold light came too fast, Roger had already been hit just as the female knight started to react.

Fortunately, Roger's magic ring played a role in time, and a magic shield appeared instantly, blocking the unforeseen attack for him.But even the magic shield couldn't completely counteract this attack. Roger only felt a pain in his back, 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 didn't aim at the attacker but shot into the open space, but the fireball that had just flown a few steps away had already exploded with a "boom".

A huge shock wave came towards Roger. Fortunately, he was already strong enough to stand firm in the explosion, and 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 tightly to prevent him from being attacked again.

At this time, the dust stirred up by the explosion of the fireball began to subside slowly, and a thin and small figure slowly appeared in the haze.This guy was wearing a weird outfit, covered with patterns of different shades of gray and khaki, even the mask and gloves were the same, it looked somewhat similar to a camouflage uniform.

This weird costume covered the whole body of the attacker, only revealing a pair of gloomy but murderous eyes.Facing this pair of eyes, Roger felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help feeling a burst of chills, as if his whole body 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 it was serious or not.

But now there is no time to bandage the wound, Roger casually took out a bottle of primary healing potion from the castle warehouse and poured it into his mouth.These medicines were prepared by him before departure, and they just came in handy at this time.

This guy was holding the same dusty dagger in his hand. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard for Bonnie to believe that it was this very ordinary dagger that burst out with such a bright cold light just now.This also made the female knight vaguely understand that the strength of this killer is far superior to that of Roger and herself. Today, a fierce battle is inevitable, and maybe both of them will die here.

The killer's snake-like eyes moved back and forth between Roger and Bonnie, as if deciding who to kill first.As the top ten assassins in the Assassin's Guild, Viper's achievements today are definitely not due to luck.Since accepting Vettel's entrustment, he has been spying on Roger, trying his best to find out all kinds of situations of the assassination target, from the level of strength to the usual habits and even the personality.

After knowing that Roger was going to the Golden Wasteland to wipe out the orcs, the poisonous snake also came to the Golden Wasteland.His original plan was to spy secretly, hoping that Roger would be killed in the battle with the orcs, so he could get paid without doing it himself.Who knew that those idiot orcs were beaten to the ground by Roger, obviously they couldn't be counted on.So the poisonous snake made a decisive decision, taking advantage of the least opportunity for the soldiers around Roger to launch a sneak attack on him, hoping to escape quietly after a successful blow.

However, the poisonous snake obviously didn't know enough about Roger. It never occurred to him that this guy who had just become a nobleman for less than a year would actually have such a good thing as an attack and defense magic ring.So the poisonous snake not only missed the blow it was determined to win, but also exposed its own appearance.

However, Viper is a silver-level powerhouse after all. Although the fireball technique came suddenly, he dodged it in time and did not suffer any damage.With the strength of the poisonous snake, even if he fights against Roger and Bonnie head-on, he will not be at a disadvantage.As long as the poisonous snake can seize the opportunity to hurt any one of them, the other party can only be slaughtered by him.

"Hiss... this girl is good, after I kill you, I will enjoy her well." The poisonous snake had a strange "hissing" sound when he spoke, which is how he got his nickname.As a senior killer, Viper certainly wouldn't do any useless things while "working". He definitely didn't say this for quick talk, but to anger his opponent.When a person is angry, he will lose his calm judgment and become irritable and aggressive. Such an enemy is undoubtedly easier to deal with.

To Viper's satisfaction, his words did have some effect.The female knight was visibly angry, not only her brows furrowed tighter, but her breathing also became short of breath.

"Who on earth sent you to kill me?" Roger's face was terrified and angry, and he almost asked this sentence in a voice that became completely different from usual.

In Serpent Come Roger behaves like any other assassination target, and these poor wretches always seem to ask the same questions before they die.It seems that knowing who is behind the scenes, they can escape assassination or face death calmly.

Thinking of this, the corner of the mouth under the viper mask twitched slightly, and was about to announce the names of a few people closest to Roger to stimulate him, but suddenly he took out a strange-looking thing from nowhere, and was using one of its ends Target yourself.

"What?" Curiosity flashed across the Viper's brain, but the body didn't stop.Out of the instinct of wandering on the verge of death for many years, the killer changed his position as quickly as possible. The third rule of the assassin: don't let any unknown objects aim at you!

"!" Just as the poisonous snake moved its feet, a gunshot rang out.The blow hit the place where the poisonous snake had just stood, stirring up a huge cloud of dust and smoke.

Roger deliberately asked the killer who sent him just now. In fact, it was just to distract the other party's attention. The real purpose was to give him a shot.Unexpectedly, the killer's vigilance was so high, and his moving speed was astonishingly fast. This unexpected shot didn't hit him!

The poisonous snake was also taken aback. He put away his contempt for Roger and rushed up at a very fast speed.No killer likes to remain calm in the face of death, or even set a trap to launch a counterattack.Viper finally understands that it is futile to fight psychological warfare with the opponent, and now he can only rely on real strength to kill the target.

Even when the poisonous snake, which is good at hiding its whereabouts, is charging at full speed, its footsteps are so light that it is almost inaudible.His speed was astonishing, and he rushed to Roger almost in the blink of an eye.The poisonous snake luckily slashed the dagger towards Roger's throat. Only at this time would the inconspicuous dagger burst into light like lightning, reminding the target that his life was about to end.

"I'll wipe!" 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 raise his sword to block, and use the spine of the sword to block the path of the dagger.

Although Luo Jie's strength was a level lower than that of the poisonous snake, after all, he was practicing the outline of dragon-slaying swordsmanship, and he could be regarded as a good strongman in terms of swordsmanship alone.This time the block was very successful, the tip of the dagger hit Roger's sword heavily, making a crisp "ding".Roger only felt a huge force coming from the sword, and he had to retreat several steps involuntarily before he managed to stand still.

"Jie Jie..." The poisonous snake let out a strange laugh that made the hair stand on end, and rushed forward again.

With the previous experience, the poisonous snake's attack this time is not as simple as before. The dagger in his hand draws a complicated attack route at an extremely fast speed. Even Roger is very clear about where the dagger will stab him. Where.Just when Roger was dazed for a moment, the dagger of Viper Hand suddenly changed its trajectory and stabbed straight at his throat.

Roger quickly moved the sword to block, while trying to avoid it to the side.However, as soon as his body moved, the dagger suddenly changed direction and cut horizontally towards Roger's chest.This time Roger couldn't dodge it, he tried his best to inhale and shrink his chest, although he escaped the fatal blow, a long wound was still drawn on his chest by the dagger.

The severe pain made Roger tremble all over, and blood gushed out from the wound immediately.This time the injury was much more serious than the one on the back just now, and the clothes on Roger's chest were soon soaked with blood.

This time, the poisonous snake had been prepared for a long time. After Roger was injured, he launched continuous attacks, which made him exhausted and had no chance to drink the healing potion.Bonnie on the side was anxious in her eyes, and took advantage of the opportunity that the two were separated a little bit, and immediately joined the battle group with a long sword.

However, even with one enemy and two poisonous snakes, it seemed more than enough, and it drove Roger and Bonnie into a scramble.There seems to be only one level difference between the silver junior and the bronze senior, but the difference in strength is very different. No wonder the poisonous snake dared to face two enemies alone.

Because Bonnie was worried about Roger's safety, she was a little impatient in an attack, and was immediately seized by the poisonous snake. The dagger slammed a deep bone wound on the female knight's arm, and blood gushed out instantly. come out.

"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Roger quickly pressed Bonnie's wound, and said with concern, "You go first!"

Of course Bonnie would not leave Roger alone to run for her life, the female knight stubbornly shook her head, her eyes were still fixed on the poisonous snake not far away.

Seeing that both enemies were injured, the Viper launched a more violent attack, intending to end the battle as soon as possible.At the same time, a series of hurried footsteps sounded not far away, and the soldiers under Roger were finally arriving.

When he was just assassinated, Roger used the mental link to summon the surrounding soldiers, but because the soldiers were far away, it took a little time to arrive.Even Roger himself didn't expect that in such a 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 there was no one around before doing anything. He thought that Roger's men would not disrupt his plan at all, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

"Your people have returned." Viper said with his unique weird voice: "But it doesn't matter, I will kill you both before they arrive!"

As soon as the poisonous snake finished speaking, a dagger suddenly appeared in his left hand.The assassin holding the double daggers seemed to be a different person, the original obscene and gloomy temperament disappeared completely, replaced by a biting murderous intent.

"Die!" The viper snorted, and stabbed Roger and Bonnie's throats with two daggers like lightning.This time his speed was much faster than before, leaving Roger and Bonnie with no time to dodge.
