Chapter 149 - 142 Mishap
Lu Hong had just rushed out of the house when he was greeted by an overwhelmingly large fireball.
"Fuck!" Lu Hong twisted his waist in an inhuman posture, narrowly dodging the sneak attack from his adversary.
A basin-sized fireball fell into the house, and a small mushroom cloud erupted, leveling the hut to the ground. The guards who had rushed in were probably out of luck.
Who exactly was this man? How could he be so ruthless as to kill his own people? With a trace of confusion, Lu Hong looked towards his attacker.
He shouldn’t have looked, for the sight gave him quite the shock—Craig?!
Hadn’t Craig just died by his own hand? Then who was this person in front of him? A twin?
"Heh heh, you think you can run after killing my incarnation?" Craig sneered. "Tell me, who sent you?"
Incarnation? Lu Hong’s expression darkened. It was true that earth mages could condense their own avatars, and not just earth, but water mages as well. However, the skill to refine an incarnation was a third-transition early-stage skill. That meant Craig was an authentic third-transition earth Mage!
This was inconsistent with the intel provided by Andrei! Lu Hong cursed inwardly, having come here to assassinate and unexpectedly falling into the enemy’s trap—it was a total failure!
As the number of enemies grew, Lu Hong’s expression became particularly solemn. Escaping alive this time would be up to fate. In the future, he should practice non-professional tasks before undertaking them, such as assassinations which were clearly not his forte.
