The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 705: winged tassel vs malekith (i)

contemporary romance

A PORTION of the rink was suddenly surrounded by a dark dome-like structure. It was a portion that included the area where both the participants where standing. If one would just look at it from afar, it would just look like a black dome. But if one looked closely, they would see that the darkness in the dome was actually moving. Like a thickly congested smoke.

The last thing they saw was Malekith pulling out his staff and something black rushing out from it. So, they knew that this black dome was definitely the other's skill. But how could they watch the fight like this?

It seemed that the Duke of Hearts heard the crowd's complain because he said in a voice that everyone could hear;

"Do they expect this lord to just watch this black ball?"

Then, he snapped and the screen around the coliseum showed everyone what was happening inside the dome. What they saw shocked everyone.

Malekith was standing still with his eyes fully turned black with no whites in them. While Winged Tassel looked like he had seen better days. The latter's clothes were in tatters and his body was full of wounds. At the same time, some black thread-like things that was coming out of his body and was flowing towards the dark elf. As if Malekith was somehow absorbing it.

It hadn't even been a minute since that dome appeared. How did he end up like that?

Let's go back to the moment when Ying Chen used the skill [Dark Land].

This skill was an AoE skill that could turn an enemy's Mana into dead Mana as long as they're inside this dome. In a player's case, it was their MP that was being depleted. This Mana would then be absorbed by Ying Chen. He then could turn it into black needles that could attack his opponent.

That's why Winged Tassel was in such a state. It became like this after being attack by countless black needles. Although he used the feathers from his wings as well as his sword to counter it, a lot of those needles still reached him.

One of the reasons why was because those needles were not just flying randomly to attack Winged Tassel, they were being controlled by Ying Chen. So, he could choose where to point his attack. Another one was because the other couldn't properly control his sword fighting skill. Because of his MP constantly being drained, his movements became sluggish.

This skill was what he got from the village of the dark elves. It was a skill that was only unique to the dark elves. Because according to Arcadia's lore, dark elves were the only ones who could handle dead Mana.

Dark Land would last for three minutes. It might seem pretty OP because of that, and in way, yes it was. But once it's over, his MP would be drained and the damage he would get for the next minute would double.

That's why it's perfect to use during a dungeon raid or a team fight. Because after its effect was over, someone could protect him. But that's not the case now. He was alone. Now he wished he had also thought of contracting a pet. At least things would be easier.

But why did he still use it despite that? Because the gains outweighed the loss. He just had to finish this guy in those three minutes. And even if he wouldn't be able to do that, he still had a back-up plan.

Another reason was because the [Dark Land] was also great for enemies that could fly. Because of the dome, it could restrict a lot of their movements. So, really, why wouldn't he use it?

Luo Yan, who was watching the fight below, raised one of his brows. This Ying Chen really had a lot of tricks up in his sleeve. On the get go, he used such a strong AoE skill. And he hadn't even shown the method he used when he defeated his opponent yesterday.

He looked on with interest, thinking of how he would counter Ying Chen's attack if he was the one fighting there now.

"Yan," Luo Jin suddenly called out to him.

He gazed down and was met by his brother's worried gaze. "What is it?"

"What if we end up being paired?"

Luo Yan was a bit surprised hearing this. But considering that there were only four of them left, which meant there's a 50-50 chance that he and Luo Jin could end up fighting each other.

Seeing how worried the other was, he couldn't help but smile and be moved. Because it's obvious that Luo Jin didn't want the two of them to fight.

"Are you worried that you might hurt me?" He put his hand on his chest and showed an expression saying 'I'm very touch by that thought'. "Ah Jin must really love me so much."

Luo Jin suddenly blushed and stammered, "W-what nonsense are you saying?"

Luo Yan chuckled before answering seriously, "Ah Jin doesn't need to worry so much. If we were chosen to fight, then we'll just have to fight. We will fight with all our might. I'll be very angry if Ah Jin hold back. So, you better not."

The blush on Luo Jin's face slowly subsided. Then he scoffed. "Who said that I will hold back?"

Although he was indeed worried that the two of them would fight in this round, it didn't mean that he would go easy on Luo Yan just because of it. That would simply be a huge insult to his brother.

Luo Yan only smiled at that before turning his gaze back to the fight.

Black needles continued to attack Winged Tassel. Even when he had unfurled his wings to protect himself, some would still go through the cracks and hit him.

[Ah, this is really getting annoying.] – Winged Tassel thought as the smile on his face was slowly disappearing. [Should I start seriously fighting?]
