Chapter 367: Arcanis's Revenge
There were only a few oil lamps in the gloomy basement that glowed orange, and a scream from upstairs came from a copper pipe. Maiva stood there with a pale face, her hands trembling incessantly. He knew that his matter was completely finished, no need to ask, it must have been the shadow thief who had found evidence of the mutiny, and I was afraid that the entire union had already been captured.
"Boss, whether we're running away now, or are we going to fight hard, you should pay attention." An assassin urged with an anxious face. He knew very well that according to the rules of the Great Purge, no one here would be spared. If you don't leave, once the people above are dead, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Maiva took a deep breath, then pulled out his dagger and slammed it into the table and yelled, "Let's go!" This account is written down first! When we find out who is doing the ghost, we must let him survive, not death! β
The five cronies were all relieved to hear that they were going to escape, and immediately opened the secret compartment on the wall, only to see that it was filled with piles of gold coins and precious stones, as well as some rare metals. Just as they were desperately trying to fill the bag, a cold light suddenly flashed in the air, and the priest only felt a chill on his neck, and then felt the sky spin and fall to the ground with a thud. It turned out that his neck had been pierced by a sharp blade, and the blood was gushing out like a spring.
Maiva's pupils contracted violently when he saw this scene, and he immediately blessed himself with a "stone skin technique" and pulled out his weapon and shouted into the air: "Who? Who is hiding there! Get the hell out of here! β
His nerves were already in a state of extreme alertness, capable of assassinating a person in plain sight and then disappearing silently. Only a handful of Master Assassins at the apex could do it. In its current state. No one dared to chant a spell. Because this suicide doesn't make much difference. God knows if a dagger will come from the back in the next moment, and the four remaining cronies put down the valuable things in their hands and began to slowly retreat, forming a back-to-back defensive formation.
A slow ripple rippled in the air, followed by a man in tight black leather armor and a hood on his head. With graceful steps, he shook the bloody dagger in his hand, and looked like a king was coming to his palace.
"Arcanis! Aren't you seriously injured?!! Maiwa cried out in a lost voice. Almost anyone who has been in the Shadow Thieves Guild for a few years will be afraid to hear this name, and his existence is a great deterrent in itself.
"Seriously injured? That's right. I was still lying in bed in the middle of the night and enduring the erosion of negative energy, but now it seems that everything has passed. Do you seem to know what it's like? Don't worry, I'll give you a good taste. β
With a sarcastic smile on his lips, Arcanis' feet suddenly began to accelerate, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the four cronies. I saw two daggers cut through two graceful arcs, and then out of thin air a side kick hit a person in the back of the head. The moment he landed, the three of them fell to the ground, leaving only one Maiwa and the last of his men standing there with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Three people were killed on the spot, two of them had their throats slit, and the other's head had already blossomed when it hit the ground. The movements of the legendary thieves are so pleasing to the eye. There is not a single trace of superfluity in the whole process, and it is as perfect as a textbook.
"Smack. Bang bang, bang bang. Suddenly there was a sound of applause behind him, followed by a person who came out of the darkness, it was Henry, who had just walked down the stairs. He bowed slightly, "Great, this is the smoothest attack I've ever seen, it's even more mesmerizing than Trist's scimitar-wielding moves." β
Arcanis smiled and returned the salute. "Thank you for the compliment, it makes me feel extra happy. You must know that there is nothing in this world more luscious than the taste of revenge, especially when you are about to see the enemy's pain, helplessness, struggle, pleading, and screaming before your eyes, and you will be intoxicated by it. β
"In that case, Maiwa will be handed over to you, and I only need a final confession, and finally wish you a happy revenge. As for this miscellaneous fish, let this dwarf solve it, he just complained that the killing was a bit unpleasant. With that, Henry directly took out the "Dark Onaga's Fire Scepter" and shot a wall of fire to separate the two people.
Kogan roared, and rushed at his foe with his axe. With his height advantage, he smashed his rival's knee in the first round. The thief fell to the ground in pain and wailed, not even knowing where the weapon had been thrown. Unfortunately, the sight was not sympathetic, and the dwarf laughed wildly and cut off his opponent's limbs, then brutally threw them into the wall of fire.
"Hahaha! Call it! Scream louder! I love the sound the most, it's a wonderful feeling. Kogan was dancing with his hands out of excess energy. His bloodlust and cruelty can be said to have reached the extreme, and I am afraid that even the followers of demons are not so crazy.
Arcanis saw a sneer cross the corners of Maiva's mouth when he saw Maiva's frightened expression. "Aha! It seems that your loyal men are dead, and now is the time for the two of us to settle our personal grievances. You know? I really like the look in your eyes right now, and I hope it will stay there until the moment you die. β
"Come on! I'm not afraid of you. Don't think there's anything great about the Legendary Thief, you'll soon learn that I'm not easy to mess with. Maiwa said with a strong look on the outside. One of his hands had reached into the magic pack, ready to unleash deadly magic.
"Excellent! Very good! You know? I like prey that resists the most. Come on, let me see you in pain. β
As soon as the words fell, Arcanis attacked first. He suddenly took out a magic scroll and activated it, a white magic aura dispelled the "Stone Skin Technique" at once, and then rushed to him with an arrow, and the two daggers were quickly plunged into the sides of the shoulders, and if they hit, the two arms would be abolished in an instant.
Maiva was not as vulnerable as everyone imagined, and when the dagger had just pierced his clothes, another "stone skin technique" was instantly blessed. The weapon seemed to hit the hard rock, and many stone chips splashed out, but they did not touch the skin at all. While he still had protection on his body, he hurriedly chanted a spell and shot a magic missile.
Arcanis hurriedly stepped back and blocked it with his bracers. After a round of attacks, he stared at his opponent in surprise and asked loudly, "When did you become a rank 12 mage?" "You must know that the protective magic just now requires the "Accident Spell" to trigger, and only the caster above level 12 has a level 6 spell slot.
"Surprised? I've been hiding this secret for a long time, just to surprise you. Everyone knew they wanted to replace Renault. I've been waiting for this day for ten years, but unfortunately, I failed. But that's okay, it's a good idea to be able to kill you at the back of the day. β
With that, Maiva drank a potion of invisibility and disappeared into place, followed by the sound of incantations throughout the room. Apparently, he blessed himself with "sound illusion", trying to use this magic to confuse the hearing in order to delay time. For the caster, it only takes a large area of destruction spell or the elimination of invisible magic to solve it, but for the thief, it is impossible to tell the difference.
Seeing Arcanis cautiously searching around, Henry shook his head slightly when he saw it. By the time the search was over in such a large place, Maiva had already been blessed with a protective magic. However, there is no way for him to intervene now, otherwise it will be a distrust of the legendary thief's strength. It seems that the caster's advantage over other classes is still too obvious, and the unpredictable attack methods and endless protection are very difficult to deal with.
The sound of chanting the incantation lasted for more than a minute before it gradually stopped. The entire underground hall was silent, except for the slight breathing of a few people. Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and a blue-glowing crossbow bolt pierced the air and shot at Arcarnes' back. The legendary thief deserves to be a legendary thief, he didn't even look back, and dodged directly with a rollover.
"It's a very sensitive reaction, but if you shoot ten arrows at once, will you still be able to dodge?" As he spoke, Maiva, who blessed her protective magic, was revealed. I saw that he was holding a crossbow with five arrows in each hand, each arrow was glowing with a blue metallic luster, and it looked like it had been quenched with poison, and it was also the kind of poison that sealed the throat with blood.
Arcanis sneered and replied, "Why don't you try it?" β
"Very good Jianyì, then please die now!" With that, Maiwa pulled the trigger, and the ten arrows burst through the air with a "whoosh" sound.
Just as he was about to see his enemy fall to the ground with confidence, Arcanis told him with both hands that everything in front of him was so ridiculous. He threw his two daggers on the ground, followed by grabbing all the arrows with his dexterous hands and throwing them back.
Maiva apparently didn't anticipate this, and didn't have any magic like "Protective Ranged Weapons". Ten arrows instantly broke the protection of the "Stone Skin Technique", and he felt a sharp pain in his gut, several highly poisonous arrows were inserted into his chest, and black poisonous blood flowed out along the shaft of the arrow.
In just five seconds, the poison of the Blood Seal had killed the ambitious leader of the thieves. Without hesitation, Henry cast a spell to imprison his soul in the gem, ready to wait and torture it to see if there were any other secrets that no one else knew.
"I'm sorry, I didn't control the good feelings just now, and I killed him by mistake." Arcanis walked over and apologized with a look of shame. He didn't expect Maiwa to hide so deeply, counting the thief level, this guy is probably already more than level twenty.
Henry smiled and shook the soul gem in his hand. "It's nothing, Maiwa's soul is still with me, and it can be tortured and tortured slowly." (To be continued......)
