Chapter 319: Death
There were three magic teams surrounding the mysterious assassin.
The mysterious assassin chose the team with the most members.
This group of magicians was full of energy and heat, and it was the Fire Meteor Team.
The mysterious assassin, who was well-traveled and experienced, chose the largest team not because he wanted to deal a heavy blow to Snow Bird Harbor, but because this team was the weakest and easiest to break through.
Among the three magic teams, the Coordinator Team was the strongest. Although they had the fewest members, they had the most silver level magicians.
The Coordinator Team only played a supporting role, but their standards for recruiting members were the highest.
Only magicians who had mastered the art of spell fusion could join this team.
It was their role that allowed the previous fire spells and ice spells to be coordinated and fused.
After the fire-based spells' attack power was significantly reduced, they smoothly transitioned into ice-based spells.
The transition between the two was seamless, causing no internal conflicts or energy loss. The remaining energy from the fire-based spells was even passed on to the next ice-based spell, creating nearly perfect coordination.
Spellcasting techniques were similar to battle skill techniques in that they were both icing on the cake.
Only when their own level, battle skills, and spells had reached the limit of what could be achieved would transcendents begin to study these techniques in order to effectively improve their own strength.
Those who mastered spellcasting techniques were rarely young. Though their natural talent might be limited, their extensive spellcasting experience made them formidable opponents.
Upon closer observation, it became evident that the members of the Coordinator Team appear significantly older than those of the other two teams.
At first glance, the mysterious assassin realized that the Coordinator Team was the most formidable of the three.
Of the remaining two teams, one specialized in frost magic, while the other focused on fire magic.
Fire magic was the most powerful, while frost magic excelled at controlling the battlefield.
The members of both magic teams were relatively young, with no obvious differences in appearance.
Which team should be targeted as the breakthrough point?
Of course, the fire-based team!
Because this was the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
The members of the magic teams were almost all snow elves.
The bloodlines of snow elves clearly leaned toward the ice attribute.
When they cast ice-based spells, their bloodlines provided a boost. The magicians of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom were most skilled at ice magic, and after years of research, they had achieved many unique results.
However, when they cast fire magic, they were negatively affected by their bloodline.
It could be said that among the three magic teams, the Fire Meteor Team was the weakest overall.
The reason why successive city Lords had maintained the Fire Meteor Team was only to ensure the diversity of troop types.
If they went to the battlefield, only the ice-type magicians on their side would be at a disadvantage, easily targeted by the enemy and thus falling into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing the gold level battle qi cultivators rushing towards them, the Fire Meteor Team immediately fell into chaos.
The snow elves who were selected to form the fire-type magic team were basically those with weaker qualifications.
Those who were better than them were selected for the Face Frost Team.
Of course, the most talented individuals were the independent and free magicians.
The Fire Meteor Team's chaotic reaction also proved that the mysterious assassin's choice was correct.
Based on the mysterious assassin's strength, as long as he closed the distance, the Fire Meteor Team would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord would certainly not allow this to happen right before his eyes.
Spell—Short-distance Teleportation.
The spell's light scattered, and the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord suddenly appeared halfway there.
Seeing an ordinary-looking snow elf suddenly appear right in front of him, the mysterious assassin's expression suddenly became serious.
Obviously, he recognized the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord held a short staff in his hand and successfully blocked the mysterious assassin.
The short staff in his hand was also ordinary in appearance, resembling a rolling pin used by a housewife.
The mysterious assassin's dagger and the short staff collided repeatedly, clashing over fifty times within a dozen seconds.
Both sides fought with lightning speed.
The mysterious assassin moved with incredible agility, swinging his dagger continuously, creating a series of illusory shadows.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was equally fast, with a wide range of short staff techniques, blocking, parrying, slashing, and stabbing, combining offense and defense with astonishing skills.
The mysterious assassin was exceptionally powerful, but he was entangled by the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and couldn't escape for a while.
From time to time, lightning or freezing air burst forth from the short stick, causing the mysterious assassin a lot of trouble.
It turned out that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord practiced both martial arts and magic.
He relied mainly on his own battle skills, but in between battles, he used various small and micro spells to assist himself and create advantages.
Even if the advantages were extremely small each time, after many times, they accumulated to the point of qualitative change, and he was able to turn the advantage into a winning position.
The short staff in his hand was not only his melee weapon, but also his spellcasting tool. It had good conductivity for both battle qi and magic power.
Spell—Clone!
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord suddenly swayed, transforming into three bodies and surrounding the mysterious assassin.
Battle skill—Stab.
Spell—Electric Shock.
Spell—Slow.
Battle skill—Flying Kick.
The three Snow Bird Harbor City Lords were indistinguishable from each other, each simultaneously casting different battle skills and spells.
In an instant, the three city Lords formed a fierce offensive.
The mysterious assassin was stunned for a moment.
Because his opponent's moves were so varied and never repeated, he didn't know how to deal with them at first.
The combination of battle skills and spells created a very complicated situation, and it was difficult to think of a solution in an instant.
The mysterious assassin could only dodge and block, retreating continuously.
He made a series of mistakes, which were seized upon by his opponents.
The three Snow Bird Harbor City Lords scored consecutive hits, adding multiple wounds to the mysterious assassin's body.
The originally evenly matched scene suddenly changed dramatically, with the Snow Bird Harbor City Lords gaining a clear advantage.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, the mysterious assassin was just about to use a smoke bomb to try to escape.
The two Snow Bird Harbor City Lords suddenly disappeared, leaving only his true form to rush towards the mysterious assassin.
The short staff in the City Lord's hand emitted a metallic glow.
Battle skill—Battle Qi Weapon!
Battle skill—Stab.
Spell—Cat's Agility.
Spell—Acceleration.
The short sword pierced the mysterious assassin's heart with lightning speed.
The mysterious assassin stared at Snow Bird Harbor City Lord with blood flowing from his eyes.
A few seconds later, he fell to the ground, his life force gone.
However, in the next moment, his entire body transformed into an alchemy puppet.
Seeing this, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's expression changed greatly, and he shouted, “Be careful, this is not his real body.”
The mysterious assassin had a substitute puppet.
He had used one during his infiltration of the Love Triangle.
The one he was using now was clearly far superior in specifications and quality to the previous one.
The Sea Bird Bishop hurriedly cast a spell.
Divine spell—Bird Swarm Tracking!
The sky suddenly flickered with a mix of blue and white light.
Within the light, one by one, birds took shape.
A flock of blue and white birds circled and danced above the battlefield.
Then, with a loud explosion, the birds scattered across the battlefield.
Soon, one of the birds suddenly exploded.
The light that spread out was like crushed diamond powder.
Amidst the dazzling light powder, the mysterious assassin appeared.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord held a short staff and rushed towards the mysterious assassin again.
The mysterious assassin glanced at the enemy but had no intention of fighting the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord. He sprinted with all his might and attacked the Sea Bird Bishop.
Obviously, the Sea Bird Bishop's divine spells were a huge obstacle to his escape.
The Sea Bird Bishop fought while retreating.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord arrived, and soon the three were fighting together.
The mysterious assassin's situation became increasingly difficult.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord engaged the mysterious assassin in close combat. The Sea Bird Bishop continued to cast spells from behind to assist in the attack.
As for the three magic teams, they had retreated a distance and were stationed at the edge of the battlefield.
Once the mysterious assassin found an opportunity to escape, they would seize the opportunity and block him.
Even if they sacrificed many team members at that time, as long as they gained a little time, they could allow the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord or the Sea Bird Bishop to catch up with the mysterious assassin again.
The three magic teams all had silver level magicians who could match gold level opponents in a short period of time.
The spells cast by the teams earlier all had gold level power.
Bang, bang, bang...
The clash between the three gold level magicians ravaged the slums beyond recognition. Countless houses collapsed, and large numbers of civilians screamed and ran around in panic.
The scene became increasingly chaotic.
Amidst the rolling smoke and explosions, the alchemy puppet that had been stabbed in the heart by the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and had fallen to the ground suddenly got up and shot out like lightning.
This unexpected change stunned everyone.
“Which one is the real assassin?” Everyone wondered.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was unable to reach the alchemy puppet that had suddenly escaped, so he could only do his best to engage the “mysterious assassin” in front of him.
The Sea Bird Bishop hurriedly cast a spell.
The divine spell fell from the sky, but it missed the escaping alchemy puppet by a hair's breadth.
The alchemy puppet burst into laughter, its face gradually transforming into a silver fox mask.
“The one that escaped is the true form!” Realizing this, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord turned around immediately, intending to pursue.
The “mysterious assassin” who had been engaged in close combat with him acted swiftly.
It let out a piercing scream, its disguise tearing apart to reveal the alchemy puppet's true form.
Two round holes appeared under its armpits, revealing two brand-new metal arms.
Each of the four hands held a dagger, and they frantically attacked Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.
The attack was like a raging storm, completely chaotic, completely disregarding the intense consumption of the magic crystal inside its body. It had only one goal: to cling to the city Lord.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord could only defend himself and was unable to pursue the mysterious assassin.
The three magic teams had originally focused their attention on the center of the battlefield, never imagining that the fallen alchemy puppet was actually the mysterious assassin's true form.
No one knew how he had managed to deceive the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's senses.
His skill at feigning death was simply unparalleled!
The mysterious assassin, who had been overlooked, had been secretly controlling the real alchemy puppet.
Therefore, the alchemy puppet's battle skill techniques remained above average, and its intelligence was normal, so it did not arouse suspicion.
In this way, the mysterious assassin not only influenced the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and Sea Bird Bishop, two gold level opponents, but also indirectly controlled the battlefield positions of the three magic teams.
When he felt the time was right, he was already lying on the edge of the battlefield.
The three magic teams were unable to surround the entire battlefield. There was a huge gap between them.
The mysterious assassin had been preparing for a long time and easily penetrated this gap, about to walk away.
Suddenly, a bright green light pierced the sky and shot at him.
It turned out to be an attack from the magician tower in the distance.
The mysterious assassin was already prepared.
Earlier, it was the magician tower's disintegration ray that destroyed his alchemy bomb.
He had already taken this into consideration when he broke out.
The mysterious assassin twisted his waist violently, about to use his battle skill to dodge.
Suddenly, his whole body went limp, and his head buzzed.
His battle skill failed!
His hair stood on end, and he wanted to use his alchemy tool.
But it was too late.
The disintegration ray hit the mysterious assassin directly.
The protective tools on the mysterious assassin's body quickly split and disintegrated in the pale green light.
He was pierced by the ray.
A huge hole appeared in his abdomen.
The edges of the hole were bathed in thick green light, resembling flames burning.
Within the green light, his flesh and blood disintegrated and collapsed, like ashes formed after paper burns, swiftly dissipating in the wind.
Within a mere second, the mysterious assassin was completely disintegrated within the green light.
Even the silver fox mask he wore did not remain.
The upper half of the silver fox mask fell to the ground and completely dissolved in the glowing green light.
The mysterious assassin had died!
