Chapter 731 - 365: The Strength of Zisang Liuying_2
Her face was as cold as always, keeping people at bay. Across from her, her opponent today was the very assassin defeated by Long Kongkong yesterday, completely covered in a grey cloak.
Assassins naturally counter all magic professions. Though summoners fare a bit better, mages and priests are significantly restrained. The high speed, concealment, and explosive power of assassins pose a great threat to mages.
"Five, four, three, two, one, start."
As the referee announced, the figure of the assassin disappeared on the spot.
This was an 8th Rank assassin. He had used his Spirit Palisade in his match with Long Kongkong yesterday. At this level, an assassin’s explosive power was unmatched. With the mage’s weak defensive power, once he gets close, there is almost no chance to resist.
Yesterday’s loss to Long Dangdang in the presence of three overlapping domains really frustrated the cream of the crop from the Assassins Temple. He couldn’t even get close, and, plus the strong defense of the Adamantine Cathedra battle armor, even if the assassin got close, breaking through the defense of a protection knight would not be easy. Knights naturally counter assassins.
Today, facing Zisang Liuying, he was even more eager to prove himself. Although you are the unparalleled genius of the Magic Temple, you are still a 7th Rank mage. As an 8th Rank assassin, can’t he still beat a 7th Rank mage? He didn’t even plan to give Zisang Liuying a chance to cast her spells. After becoming invisible, he charged straight towards Zisang Liuying. With his speed, the distance between them could be erased in a blink.
Zisang Liuying, holding her magic staff, plunged it into the ground at the moment the referee announced the start.
In the brief time of this simple movement, her opponent had already crossed two-thirds of the distance, with a dagger raised. The assassin’s ultimate move, the King Killer Strike, was already launched.
