Chapter 169: The King of Assassins
"King of Assassins challenge?"
One-eyed Bird looked Marven up and down, and couldn't help but say, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a ranger, right?" ”
Marven nodded and said casually:
"I remember the rule was that you can participate in any loiterer class, right?"
Bird scratched his head, a little overwhelmed.
Rules are one thing, but reality is another. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Ranger to challenge the King of Assassins? Isn't this a smashing of the field?
A few instructors who appeared to be in charge of training the Assassin's apprentices next to them overheard the conversation between the two and walked over together.
They surrounded Marven. There were also several scimitar warriors who were responsible for maintaining order.
One of the scimitar warriors of the Bai tribe said arrogantly, "Want to participate in the challenge of the King of Assassins? ”
"You'll have to ask me about the scimitar first......"
However, before his words fell, Marven suddenly made a lightning shot!
Shadow Cut!
The distance between the two sides was instantly shortened.
A clean hand knife, the other party screamed in pain, the left wrist was cut to the point, and the scimitar was about to fall.
At this time, Marven took advantage of the situation.
Snatch the blade successfully!
With a clang, he slashed his backhand on the forearm of the other hand!
The scimitar warrior's face was pale.
Marven's speed was so fast that before the rest of the people could react, he had already completed all the movements!
Fortunately, Marven used the back of the knife, otherwise this time, his forearm would be lost.
A swipe. Everyone else drew their weapons at the same time and looked at Marven coldly.
Marven spun the scimitar in his hand around. He returned it to the scimitar warrior and said calmly:
"Is this how you Bai people meet the challenger?"
Among the instructors. One of the leaders, who seemed to be the leader, looked at Bird:
"One-eyed, this is the person you brought, what do you say?"
Bird shrugged: "According to the rules, rangers are indeed eligible to participate in the challenge of the [King of Assassins]. ”
The instructor sneered, "Good. Well, let him participate. ”
"I'll take care of the first level myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Marven suddenly turned into sympathy.
Although Marven's attack just now was terrifying, it was somewhat sneak attacked, and the scimitar warrior who was attacked by him. It's only a second-order level.
However, this instructor is one of the leaders of the Shadow Valley, a level 15 figure, a master-level dagger master, and may be promoted to a fourth-order powerhouse at any time!
If he is put in charge of the first level, this ranger who came out of nowhere will definitely be hopeless.
Bird frowned slightly and looked at Marven.
Marven said very easily: "Just follow the rules." ”
……
Challenge of the King of Assassins.
This is a time-honored challenge project that has been in place since the inception of Valley of Shadows. Almost every day, it welcomes participants in the King of Assassins Challenge.
It's just that the challengers are all assassins.
A ranger like Marven, although he is also a wanderer, is like a mountain. For the first time in many years, the King of Assassins Challenge has come to participate.
For a moment, the news seemed to have grown wings. Spread throughout the Valley of Shadows.
All those who have nothing to do come to watch.
This is for those who participated in the King of Assassins challenge. It's an invisible pressure.
However, the challenge itself involves the ability to cope with a variety of tasks in high-pressure situations.
As for Marven, he doesn't care. Other people's whispers can't affect his play at all!
"If it weren't for the [Black Hole] pass, I wouldn't have bothered to participate in the King of Assassins challenge."
"Only by completing more than two challenges can you gain the approval of the League of Assassins and get a pass."
The Black Hole is a secret passage to the underground world.
Marven is not interested in entering the underground world for the time being, but through the black hole, he can find a dark river. Following that dark river, he could directly cross the Sage Desert and reach the Rocky Mountain.
Walking underground is much faster than going aboveground. What he lacks most now is time, and arriving at Rocky Mountain as soon as possible and finding the flame of order is his ultimate goal.
But when you think about it, the King of Assassins challenge is not without its benefits.
According to Marven's memory, every time he wins a project, he can get a level of [Dagger] control.
This basic ability doesn't seem to be of much use to Marven, after all, he is using a scimitar now, but once he is promoted to the Night Master, if he has both the legendary-level [Scimitar Control] and the [Dagger Control], then these two basic abilities will be combined into one and become the legendary-level [Short Weapon Control].
At that point, he was comfortable switching back and forth between a scimitar and a dagger - provided he was quick enough or had the prop to quickly change weapons.
In any case, for Marven, the King of Assassins challenge, he must participate.
The whole challenge is divided into many projects.
The first item is to defeat an Assassin of the same rank.
This level is a test of comprehensive combat ability.
Generally speaking, more than eighty percent of people fall at the first level. The instructors in the League of Assassins are all the best in actual combat.
For example, Marvin's opponent, the guy called Juventus.
……
"Mr. Marven, if you are ready, please tear off the black scarf from your chest."
A staff member said in a rather open room, and he slowly exited the room.
Above the room, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Marven.
The latter was slow to move.
The crowd waited impatiently and booed.
Marven still had his eyes closed, quietly feeling the empty surroundings.
It's the rule.
Once the black scarf is not torn off, the challenge does not begin, and Juve cannot attack themselves.
Assassin vs. Ranger. In fact, it is a disadvantage showdown. The Ranger has the same great agility, especially the Twin Blade Ranger. The crispy-skinned assassin couldn't even withstand a lancet from a ranger.
However, the [King of Assassins] challenge was unfair, and Juventus entered the room one step ahead of Marvin. He chose to stealth or hide - God knows where he was now.
As long as Marven tears off the black scarf, he may attack in an instant!
The boos of those spectators are actually helping Juventus to deceive Marvin's perception.
At least [listening] is useless.
Marven was not in a hurry, he gently pressed his right hand on the black towel on his chest.
The crowd was quiet.
However, he didn't tear it off, just pressed it, and slowly paced around the room!
"Coward!"
"Hurry up if you want to do it!"
"How can such garbage be eligible for the [King of Assassins] challenge?"
The audience immediately began to curse.
The residents of Shadow Valley didn't have a good impression of this Ranger Challenger, but when they saw Marven being such a scoundrel, they couldn't help but scold.
Because Marven can't use any props other than weapons. Therefore, he could only rely on his own strength to break the assassin's stealth technique.
Juve's stealth is great, at least he doesn't feel any traces.
Thankfully, Marven has participated in many Assassin King challenges, and he has experience.
Most opponents should choose the slow-moving [Stealth].
In his experience, Juve should now be about six paces away from him, and in general, not behind him - because this direction is easy to focus on - and certainly not directly ahead, but from the side.
"Left? Or on the right? ”
Marvin stopped.
His position happens to be the very center of the room. This place is the best place to get back the first hand.
The next second. In the audience's abuse, Marven suddenly tore off the black scarf.
At that moment, he threw a large black scarf to his right hand.
Then the right foot exerted force, and the whole person pounced to the left like a tiger. Twin slashes!
The whole process is seamless and smooth.
This is Marvin's carefully prepared strategy, both on the left. Still on the right, Juventus will definitely not be able to get the comfortable shooting space he wants!
Everyone's eyes widened. I saw where Marven pounced, where the two knives reached. It's empty.
And the black scarf also slowly fell to the ground.
Not on the left and right!
"Damn*, this Juventus is very tolerant......"
Marven's heart sank.
However, at this moment, an icy chill hit him from behind!
It's actually the back!
A cold dagger appeared on his neck.
Cut your throat!
Everyone suddenly held their breath.
……
In an instant, Marven reacted—his body jerked backwards.
With Juve's unprepared "ah", the back of Marven's head hit the bridge of Juve's nose hard, and the scimitar in his left hand reversed a very clever angle, and the dagger was stuck in the small space created between the lightning and flint, so that it could not move forward.
A smile appeared at the corner of Marven's mouth.
Cut your throat? I am the ancestor who cut my throat! If he didn't even know how to crack this trick, he wouldn't have died to participate in the King of Assassins Challenge!
Next, it became Marven's counterattack time. He instantly let go of the scimitar in his right hand and grabbed Juve's right wrist.
Juventus, who was in severe pain, didn't even have time to use [Disappear] or [Strong Stealth Technique]!
Marven took advantage of the situation, and the scimitar in his left hand slashed down fiercely!
Bang dang!
Juve couldn't dodge it and barely carried it with the dagger, but in the next second, Marven's scimitar slid down the dagger and slid directly onto Juve's shoulder blades!
Syllable!
The scimitar went into the flesh, Juventus screamed, and the left hand that just wanted to fight back also lost its strength.
Marven let go and kicked him in the stomach mercilessly, the latter was kicked directly, and the wolf bèi slammed into the wall, and immediately passed out, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The crowd was in an uproar!
Marven was able to crack Juve's throat cut so easily, and he could also make a counterattack in an instant and knock Juventus down directly!
Such reflexes and actual combat abilities should not appear in a teenager who looks like he is only a teenager.
He looks like an old fritter.
Either way, Juve lost.
Marven's number jù panel shows dagger control +1, gaining the [entry] level control ability.
"Let's do the next project."
He said to the staff.
…… (To be continued......)
