Chapter 103: Ninety-One: Reactions from All Parties
The next day, the pursuit of the assassin continued, but Malin felt that if they hadn’t caught him yesterday, it was even less likely they would catch him today.
During the replay of yesterday’s battle, Malin discovered a problem—from the very beginning to the end, he had never been able to truly confirm the assassin’s form: whether the Transcendent had used abilities similar to vaporization or something like an Elemental Avatar from a Spell Formation. Neither Malin nor anyone else could figure it out.
Colin said there were none of the fluctuations that are unique to Spell Formation use, but in the obscure world of the Transcendents, no one knew if such abilities existed in all Sequences.
Besides those very common Sequences that let the public know their abilities, who could guarantee it wasn’t some magical item causing this effect?
However, during that one kick, Malin genuinely felt the force of impact—it was the kind of sensation that only comes from kicking something solid. Given Malin’s understanding of his own strength, a kick to someone’s leg like that would definitely result in a fracture, no escaping it.
Therefore, the assassin’s unharmed reaction afterward left Malin very puzzled and very curious: was the culprit a shadowy incarnation or an Elemental Avatar, or was it simply using a tool to conceal his movements?
But obviously, the culprit wouldn’t be foolish enough to come back again. In Malin’s opinion, he should not appear... at least not for the time being.
He might not even target Malin at all, after all, under the protection of his own legendary father and his mother, a Legendary Battle Mage, who doesn’t know that Malin’s presence could be another dragon’s lair and tiger’s cave? The Church of the Goddess of Harvest might seem disconnected from worldly conflicts, but it’s for this reason that more of its members live on to become legends—like old Hoffman. Malin was stunned when he heard that this man was a standard Legendary figure.
After all, nobody could imagine an old man in a wheelchair being a Legendary figure.
So Malin quickly decided to carry on with his life as usual—considering the mindset of an assassin, since he could devise such a refined assassination plan, he definitely wouldn’t be rash. Seeing Malin continuing his life as if nothing had happened, he surely wouldn’t strike recklessly and might instead retreat altogether.
