Chapter 100
Reunion and Encounter
The dark forest itself was shaken by the killing energy emitted from the “enemy”.
Judging from this deadly energy and its combat power, the opponent was a Rank 4 scout assassin.
Judging from its previous attack, this enemy was decisive. The fact that it had no hesitation in its actions indicated that it had a firm belief and a strong will to achieve it. I was even more wary of such enemies, judging them to be more dangerous than the combat power I could see in their eyes.
In the dark forest, we both caught sight of the “enemy” for a moment. I had lost sight of him, and he knew that I had hidden myself behind this tree.
I was disadvantaged if I was on the back foot. I decided to hang the pendulum of [Scythe Type] on the branch above my head and jumped up to the top of the tree at once using the string.
However, my opponent must have thought the same thing because as soon as I jumped up, a knife flew out from somewhere above the tree.
But I had expected that attack.
I avoided the knife by jumping to another branch with the same momentum I had when I jumped up, and then, guessing the direction and angle from which the knife flew, and where I would hide in the forest if I were to, I threw the pendulum.
I changed the trajectory of the pendulum with my fingertips, and [Thread Manipulation] and aimed it at the underside of the tree, followed by the attack I heard the faint sound of a blade being flicked, and a figure jumped out of the tree.
Even if they could “see” with night vision, they could only catch the outline of the figure, as if the opponent’s Concealment Level was much higher.
But that was enough for a “killing match”. When I quickly threw the knife I pulled out of the slit in my skirt at the “figure,” the magical element of wind swirled around the “figure” like an air current, deflecting my knife.
