Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Assassins of the Royal Family
Qingyi gave an order, and the archer was an arrow off the string. With a soft snap, the powerful soul rushed out of the darkness at an incredible speed, brushed shoulders with the arrows, and killed Qingyi with a cold light.
[Shield Strike].
The attacking guy was knocked down by a shield of the knight who was waiting for his work. But instead of being stunned on the spot, he rolled like a civet cat and retreated into the darkness. Qingyi couldn't help frowning: This is the most ordinary [Rolling Dodge]...... Although it is a universal skill of all classes, it is indeed possible to dodge the attack skills of almost all classes when used at the right time, although it is inevitable to deduct a few points of blood. As for retreating into the darkness again after the miss, there is no love for war, and the intelligence is not bad.
Looks like a tricky enemy.
Qingyi made a brief evaluation, looking through the battle information, hoping to see something valuable. Sure enough, I was a little apprehensive at first glance.
Descartes, leader of the Royal Assassins: Level 33, Assassin. Descartes was trained as an Assassin from an early age and swore eternal allegiance to the Kingdom of Salamonro. He is silent when he is hidden, decisive and precise, with textbook-like standard techniques, and is praised by his peers as an "introductory mentor". In the "Doomsday Confrontation", he fought to the death of the otherworldly creatures, his body was eroded by the otherworldly creatures, and he lost all his memories while his killing intent was great, and he only retained the habit of shooting before his death. The skills he specializes in are [Tumbling Dodge Mastery], [Dagger Mastery], [Backstab], [Stealth], [Slow Down Trap], and [Cut Throat]. Critical damage is 250%. Descartes and his subordinates are in absolute active attack mode.
Looking at this attribute, Qingyi couldn't help but nodded. Less than level 35, it seems to be an intermediate-level NPC, but it's much stronger than the ghost wolf king Hegel. Although these skills were ordinary skills that could be learned from the Assassin Mentor, and were not at all as handsome as Hegel's, the true Assassin's pursuit of killing the enemy with one blow was enough even if there were only a few basic skills. This, combined with a 50% increase in critical damage over the standard, is enough to make anyone deeply afraid of a close Descartes, as he won't give you a chance to regret it.
And Descartes' skills are definitely top-notch. After becoming a necromantic creature, his hidden aura became more handy, but unfortunately he was eroded by otherworldly creatures and couldn't control the fluctuation of his soul. Presumably, this is also a disguised weakening of Descartes by the system, so as not to make him too rebellious. Even so, this flaw is still insignificant, only Qingyi has the [Soul Eye], and ordinary players who don't have a second turn still can't fight against it.
As for the absolute active attack mode, it shows that under the frenzy, these royal assassins will not care about Qingyi's identity and take the initiative to sneak attack. This kind of enemy is the most unfriendly, but it also makes Qingyi warlike.
"Come on...... Hey, just to hone your skills. Qingyi walked towards the dark depths without hesitation.

A person hides his body on the side of the exit of the passage, with his back pressed against the wall. It looks stiff, but in fact, its eyes are agile, and its whole body is like explosives that are about to explode. Although he was wearing a black bodysuit, the gold flower badge on his collar betrayed his status as a top assassin belonging to the Salamonro Royalty, level 26.
Footsteps rang out in the passageway, and the eyes of the Royal Assassin flickered with the sound of a beating. In addition to him, there are two other colleagues who are also in the best position and are ready to go. The encirclement organized by the three Royal Assassins was perfect, and even high-level NPCs could capsize in the gutter.
The footsteps got closer, closer and closer, and then ......
The wall lamp closest to the door is on!
In this moment, from darkness to light, a black shadow rolled to the ground, and two cold arcs of light swung from the side of the black shadow, slashing through the ankles of the two royal assassins on the left and right! The reaction of the two assassins was also fast enough, and they were about to roll the moment the cold light flashed, but as soon as their thighs twitched, they involuntarily fell to the ground - the assassin's unique skill [Broken Tendon] beat the enemy into a "crippled" state and immobilized him for five seconds!
The shadow was indeed an Assassin. It stood up, its two daggers closing in tandem as it struck, slashing into the royal assassin's fist directly across the road. An arrow rushed in, shooting this hapless assassin through with ten thousand pounds of force - [Armor-Piercing Arrow]! Inflict the "Armor Piercing" effect with great force, ignoring defense!
The footsteps accelerated suddenly, and only then did the warrior stride forward and slam his axe into the royal assassin who was entangled with his own assassin. The other party is not a fool, and when he saw that the situation was dangerous, he flew back.
The axe slashed hard, but it fell lightly, but it was a feint. The warrior successfully forced an enemy away, and simply turned around, and at the same time entered the [Madness] state, and with a roar, another axe smashed into the royal assassin on the right. This axe was different from the trick just now, but it was a sturdy and strengthened killing move, and it slashed at the unlucky bastard's stomach with a few sparks, cutting out a pile of moldy and blackened internal organs. Rao is the other party is a strong-willed assassin, and he is also trembling, his head and feet are cocked at the same time, and his eyeballs almost pop out of his sockets, like a fish that is barely fluttering. The Assassin came to the warrior's side, crouched down immorally, and peeled the monster with two daggers like fruit.
Five seconds is not much. As soon as the "Crippled" effect passed, the two Royal Assassins bounced off one carp and prepared to fight back. A shield shot horizontally from the passage once again immobilizes the Royal Assassin on the left - the knight's [shield strike] is fired at a calculated time, perfectly connecting the two skills, leaving no possible gaps for the enemy. As for the other Royal Assassin? Before he could jump up, his stamina was cut to zero, and he fell to the ground with a whimper. And the archers were constantly harassed by arrows, so that the last royal assassin had no chance to return.
After working together to deal with the immobilized enemy, Qingyi couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Indeed, in terms of coordination, it is simply a standard team battle: first open the [Soul Eye] to find the location of the enemy's [Stealth], and then use the soldier's footsteps to grab the enemy's attention, while the assassin [Sneak]; Take advantage of the moment when the environment turns from dark to light, suddenly make a move, and then bluff to force one away. This cooperation, although it still uses control skills to divide and attack the enemy steadily, it takes advantage of both the characteristics of the environment and the enemy's psychological weaknesses to better create an advantage, and has been sublimated in tactics. With this instant tactic, even if you encounter three Royal Assassins at once, you can win without danger.
However, it was still a lost battle for no other reason......
Qingyi slowly turned his head and looked at the pile of dry bones on the ground, which originally belonged to the priest. He looked again at the depths of the passage that had lost the light of the torches because of his footsteps, and gritted his teeth: "Worthy of the leader of the royal assassins, ...... Descartes"
At the very moment when the two Royal Assassins were "crippled", one was killed and the other was immobilizedβit was in this brief moment that Descartes struck and the priest dissipated. Taking advantage of the enemy's slack is the easiest way to attack, not only the player, but also the NPCs. When Qingyi reacted to someone behind him, he only saw the priest who fell in response and the fleeting black shadow, and it was too late.
Without a priest, there is no way to replenish blood, and it is impossible to resurrect several other summon brothers with [White Bone Revival]. Descartes saw this in mind, so he was the first to choose a powerless priest. I don't know who will be the next to die?
Qingyi had no way out at this time. He snorted, gathered his formation, and headed deeper into the dungeon.
