What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

One is the powerful cadre of the Demon King’s army, the Headless Knight Beldia.

One is a rookie assassin who is not known by many people.

I originally thought that the one-sided situation was indeed one-sided, but the situation turned out to be completely reversed.

"I'm telling you, you only know these three moves?" The Dullahan's armor was covered with dust, which was all from rolling on the ground.

The Dullahan has determined that the opponent's occupation is Berserker, and a very bad Berserker at that.

"You are not good enough! If I were your teacher, I would definitely kick your ass!"

The Dullahan shouted loudly. Those three moves were indeed very powerful at first sight. Even he did not dare to use his own defense to test the opponent's attack.

But after more than ten rounds, the opponent still uses these three moves?

"Don't you underestimate me?" The headless knight somersaulted on the spot, blocked the battle axe with one-handed sword, and then swung his head with his right hand and smashed it on Connor.

boom!

Connor defended with his left arm and hit the head of the headless knight with his elbow. His arm suddenly felt numb and he retreated repeatedly.

On the other hand, the Headless Horseman was not much better. Although it was common to butt heads with each other in a championship duel where no means were too harsh, he was forced to swing his head.

The stupid three-axe attack was used back and forth, and even he, a cadre of the Demon King's army who claimed to be a noble knight in his lifetime, could not bear to watch it anymore. In desperation, he could only use his head as an extension of his arms to buy himself a chance to redeploy the battle.

Kang An covered his arms and the headless knight covered his head, and they looked at each other.

Just when the adventurers thought the second battle was about to begin—

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”

Connor and the Dullahan Beldia shouted at the same time.

"Don't you know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face?" The Headless Knight kept rubbing the part under his visor, and when Connor elbowed him, his body almost stopped moving.

"What kind of knight are you? Are you the kind who fights and pokes people in the guts?" Connor asked back.

The Dullahan was indeed very cautious and would not play a game of injury for injury with him. This was the greatest support of the Undead.

Connor rubbed his elbows and looked at the Dullahan. He wanted to use [Heroic Strike] several times, but the Dullahan seemed to be on guard against something in advance and did not make any contact with him except for the last one.

Perhaps the pain was gone, the Headless Knight roared and rushed forward, this time he was definitely serious.

Several flashes of skills appeared on the headless knight's body, and he used all the skills related to charge.

His red eyes were staring at Connor's hanging battle axe from the side, protected by the gimbal in his right hand.

"No matter which direction you defend from, you have to raise your hands first, right?" The headless knight thought to himself. As long as he stared at the opponent's hand, in the movement system of the living, if he wanted to raise his hands to defend, his muscles would definitely move first.

This is also the reason why he always has the upper hand in close combat with the living. The undead do not need muscles, nor do they need to swing forward. Just the action of raising his hands is several points faster than that of the living melee profession of the same level.

After a pause of about one second, Connor suddenly raised his hand, and the headless knight's head and right hand holding the head also moved.

【disappear】!

Snapped!

A strong white light radiated from his hands and shone on the head in the headless knight's hands.

"Hahaha, don't you know that the undead don't see with their eyes? Hahahaha—Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"

The boastful Headless Knight braked suddenly continuously. [Vanishing] not only blinded and stunned him, but also interrupted his [Charge] skill. Now he could only use his feet to overcome inertia as much as possible.

"It doesn't matter if you use your eyes to see or not, as long as you use your eyes to see!" Connor turned the axe upside down and used the sharp end to wedge it into the headless knight's visor.

【Heroic Strike】!

Skill Effect: Attacking the enemy's weak points has a chance to cause instant death.

The tip of the battle axe pierced into the visor. Even if it did not have an instant death effect, it was a fatal blow to the Headless Knight. His body just trembled as if he was electrocuted, and he quickly threw his head out of the attack range of the battle axe.

Death if no trigger?

Connor didn't have time to feel bad about his luck and Aqua's blessing. He used his last bit of magic power to activate the effect of the Apple of Eden, Blood Rage.

[Blood Fury] Effect: Continuously attack a single enemy, absorbing up to 4 points of magic power.

Connor took a deep breath and chased after him, the battle axe in his hand flashing as he waved it again.

This time it’s not the three axes that the Headless Horseman despised.

But it is the three axes enchanted by magic!

Years of combat experience saved the Headless Knight. Even though his head was hit hard and he couldn't see anything for the time being, his body still subconsciously waved his arms to block.

The sharp battle axe hit the headless knight's arm armor, and the arm blade broke, followed by the entire armor and the headless knight's wrist.

The armor had the protection of the Demon King, but the protections obtained by the cadres and soldiers were obviously not at the same level. Connor's battle axe seemed to be blocked by a thin film and could not penetrate the armor's defense, but it still penetrated the armor and broke the headless knight's arm.

The pain and humiliation of a broken wrist made the Headless Knight scream, and Connor smashed his sword away with a powerful axe.

After the last pull, the Dullahan finally reacted, but the bones in his chest still ached.

After completing the three consecutive attacks, Connor had to temporarily give up the Blood Fury. His magic value had returned to the upper limit of 3 points.

Performing a quadruple combo is a sheer waste of attack actions.

While the Headless Knight was still trying to get up, Connor rushed forward again, swinging his axe.

【Heroic Strike】!

No matter how much luck Aqua has bestowed upon you, just do it!

The second instant death failure!

The Dullahan finally discovered what had alerted him to danger.

"You...you think you can kill me?"

At first, the Headless Knight simply regarded Connor, who looked like a berserker, as an ordinary adventurer, but the pain he felt during their first fight made him doubt himself.

Now, when the sense of crisis that was enough to threaten his life came again, the Dullahan finally woke up and asked: "Which god's chosen one are you?"

Each of the reincarnated heroes chosen by the gods will bring with them a superpower or a divine weapon to cause massive damage to the demon king's army.

After that, the Demon King will bless every member of the Demon King's Army in order to reduce the damage caused by the power of God to the Demon King's Army.

The Headless Knight was certain that even if a powerful high priest cast [Purification] on him and his men, it would not be possible to purify any undead soldiers. At most, it would just be a little painful. However, the man in front of him who was waving a battle axe and chopping at him actually made him feel the same pain as [Purification].

It must be the reincarnated hero! And he brought a divine weapon that could threaten him!

"Haha, I was wondering why our prophet saw light falling from the sky. As long as I take away your artifact, the Demon King will definitely be happy!"

While dodging, the Dullahan shouted excitedly.

Those stupid gods are here to deliver equipment to the Demon King's army again! Your axe is great, but it will soon be mine!

"Oh, then why don't you give it a try?"

[Heroic Strike] has cooled down, and Connor swung his axe without hesitation!

This time, he had a premonition that something was going to happen!

Luck is knocking on the door!

95. Money can make you a god

There are only three things to do!

With the blessing of the goddess, the Headless Knight felt a great fear from the bottom of his heart the moment the axe blade touched him. The body of the Undead, which should have had endless physical strength, was also filled with fatigue. His waist and knees were sore and his bones were loose. He felt that he should temporarily give up the pride and glory of those knights and avoid the edge, but -

It's too late, Undead!

The previous ridicule and contempt for the Three Axes turned into a noose, tightly binding the Headless Horseman's neck...even though he didn't have a neck.

The head, which had no choice but to stare at the axe blade that was emitting an ominous light, looked like it was ready to be killed, even though the Headless Horseman really had no neck.

puff!

The sound of tin cans being pried open became the only sound on the battlefield.

The axe blade enchanted with [Armor Break] split Beldia's black helmet, leaving a conspicuous large opening on his forehead.

The black magic that covered the Dullahan's body quickly faded, revealing a skull that was split in half, with several teeth flying out of its mouth. Obviously, the power that the Dullahan was so proud of was cut off by the destined [Instant Death].

The strong body collapsed and turned into the simplest white bones, leaving only a black armor covered with scratches. The helmet of the Headless Knight Beldia was held high in Connor's hand. The other undead soldiers were first in disbelief, and then in fear.

"Our army is defeated! Our army is defeated!"

After just two shouts, the undead soldiers turned into dust in the breeze and disappeared along with the Demon King's army cadre and the headless knight Beldia.

This is the drawback of the undead. The tireless and undead army has a natural weakness. As long as the superior node is destroyed, all the subordinates developed by the superior node will lose their basis for existence in the world.

Prism: Killing a cadre of the Demon King's army rewards 1500 experience points, one prism point, one endurance attribute point, and activates the special mission [Instant Death].

Mission [Instant Death]: Defeat ten enemies using the [Instant Death] feature.

"Can I gain attribute points by killing special characters?" Connor stood still with his helmet in hand and opened his panel.

Level: Level 6 (Experience: 2314/4000)

Power: 27

Stamina: 24→25

Agility: 25

The experience points filled up half of the experience bar in an instant, and the three-dimensional data was finally no longer so obsessive-compulsive, but it was still not very neat.

As an assassin, agility is not his most outstanding attribute, which makes Connor feel a little unworthy of this profession.

But... thinking about the assassins wearing heavy armor, holding swords and shields, Connor felt that his style was quite normal.

In a normal fight with the Headless Knight, Connor can only rely on the panel to support, which is at most better than ordinary melee advanced professions. To really achieve a one-hit kill effect, it depends on Aqua's lucky blessing and the incredible instant death effect of [Heroic Strike].

If there is no instant death effect, Aqua might really need to summon a flood to weaken the Headless Knight to the minimum, and then find a way to pry open the Headless Knight's tin can and finally let Aqua use [Purification] to finish him off.

But then Connor wouldn't get any experience.

The adventurers behind him didn't dare to move when they saw him not moving, fearing that some death curse would affect them. The Adventurer's Guild had already begun recruiting priests, high priests and other adventurers with the ability of [Purification] to cleanse the land at the city gate.

"Mr. Connor... are you okay?" Luna, the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, said cautiously. In the archives of the Adventurer's Guild, there were many cases where powerful warriors defeated the undead but were cursed or possessed by the undead. She had already signaled all the priests to prepare purification magic just in case.

Connor came to his senses, threw his helmet and armor aside, and opened his hands to show that he was not under any cursed power.

After the priests checked, the receptionist Luna finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Able to defeat the cadres of the Demon King's army, this advanced profession [Assassin] has completely surpassed the level of a novice town.

While feeling thankful that the town had another peaceful and safe day, Luna also felt a little uneasy.

If Connor continues to stay in the Novice Town, what will happen if the Demon King's army comes to avenge the cadres? This time, a cadre was killed in the Novice Town Axel. Will more cadres and more monsters be sent next time?

Luna had already thought of a plan in her mind. She walked forward with a professional smile and took Connor's hands.

"Wow! Am I seeing things? Luna actually took the initiative to touch a man?"

"Ah!! My youth is over!!!"

Amid the adventurers' sighs, Luna said in an extremely comforting tone: "Congratulations, Mr. Connor! You are our hero!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero!" The adventurers who dared to go out of the city to fight against the cadres of the Demon King's army also cheered. They saw the whole process of Connor fighting against the Headless Knight Beldia. Although the victory was inexplicable, it seemed as if he won with just a few moves.

But the Headless Knight Beldia was enough to overwhelm them just by standing there, and they widely recognized the value of this battle.

"No, no, no, this is not my power..." Connor said modestly, reminding himself at the same time.

Aqua's lucky blessing has expired. If another Demon King's army cadre comes, it will be impossible to kill high-level monsters or Demon King's army with [Heroic Strike]. Blessings also have a cooling time, especially unreasonable lucky blessings.

Moreover, since he had provoked her with Akusia's teachings this time, Akusia might not be willing to bless him next time.

After all...Aqua has nothing to do with reliability.

"We were able to defeat Beldia thanks to everyone."

Connor did not forget to bring Kazuma's team along, just to continue to brush up on Aqua's bond.

Luna nodded, indicating that she understood what she should do.

The lady at the counter said:

"I can tell you about the reward in advance, so you can just relax, right?"

Luna blinked, then announced before all the adventurers, "Everyone will get a separate reward for Kazuma, and Mr. Connor, who killed the Dullahan, will also get a special reward."

Connor called Kazuma and the others over and repeated the matter of the guild's rewards.
