nChapter 26: Desperate Strike

nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

nWith regards to what Miller said, Masked Twin Blades was his nightmare ever since he had returned to River Shore City.

nHe never expected that he would face such an enemy.

nHe originally thought that he was Diapheis’ enemy and had only killed his son in passing.

n...

nAfter all, this kind of hitman was quite cruel. He already asked a shadow spider member to com take care of this guy, it’s just that...

n

"That damned hitman! I paid so much and he still told me that he had other business to settle and that he would go and look for Masked Twin Blades in the evening!

"

nMiller wasn’t only angry, he was also startled.

nHow did he break in!?

nWhat about those sentries all around? What about those mercenaries?

n

"Don’t bother thinking, they are already dead.

" Marvin indifferently said.

nMiller shivered and immediately hid behind those two barbarians.

nHe asked while gnashing his teeth,

"Who is the one that hired you in the end?!

"

n

"Are you not aware that I’m very wealthy? If you hadn’t killed both my sons… We might have been able to cooperate.’

nHis eyes had already turned red.

nHis two sons died like this! This hitman’s killing methods were too ruthless and vicious!

nThere was no way back!

n

"Kill him! Kill him! I want him cut into pieces!

" Miller crazily yelled.

n...

nThose two barbarians quickly took out big axes from behind their backs, each carrying his in the right hand while keeping the left hand near the waist, where two small hatchets were hanging.

nMarvin was paying attention to their movements, and it was quite clear from his battle experience that barbarians throwing hatchets were difficult to deal with.

n

"Who hired me?

"

nMarvin calmly moved back half a step, immediately attracting the three men’s attention on his body.

n

"Who is it!? Say it!

"

nMiller made a sign, temporarily stopping the barbarians from attacking.

n

"Who could have?

" Marvin said with ridicule,

"Could it be that you don’t recognize me with a mask on?

"

n

"Dear Uncle?

"

n

"You didn’t expect this day to happen when you poisoned my father?

n

"When you collaborated with the Acheron gang to plot against my life, you also didn’t expect Masked Twin Blades to appear?

"

nMarvin voice returned to normal.

nMiller became extremely shocked.

n

"This is impossible!

" He heard the familiar voice and showed an alarmed expression,

"How do you know all this? You are obviously a waste! No magical talent and no fighting ability…

"

nMarvin skillfully played with his curved dagger and coldly said,

"This proves that you misjudged me. Just like I misjudged you too. I could hardly believe that you were the kind of person that would murder his own brother.

"

nMiller was breathing heavily, and soon after, he said with a sinister face,

"You knew, so what? I had a hard time looking for you. Who could have thought that you would come to my doorstep? As long as I kill you today, White River Valley will be mine, the secret inside the castle…

"

nHe stopped talking, his eyes suddenly moving and revolving.

nHis laughter became gloomy and cold,

"What are two sons. As long as I can get that thing… Haha, perhaps you are not aware, I already received the great twin snakes of doom’s blessing! You are destined to die today!

"

n

"Kill him!

"

nHe finally gave the order. The small and hard to notice snakes in his eyes felt especially weird.

n...

nUnder Miller’s command, the two barbarians, one in front and one in the back, began their assault.

nEven though the living room was wide, it was still extremely cramped for a fight between class holders.

nWoosh!

nThe first barbarian’s attack had still not arrived when small hatchets were already approaching!

nThis type of hatchet was exceptionally sharp. For a ranger like Marvin, as long as he got hit once, if he didn’t die, then he would end up disabled for life.

nMiller’s smile was very sinister!

nFor him, Marvin was as good as dead. ‘Wearing a mask to scare people, hmph, you can only scare those unsuspecting civilians.’

nBut in fact, Marvin had been focused on observing the barbarians’ hand movements all along, so the second they threw their hatchets, he made a move.

n

"Haha!

"

nHe gently shouted, his whole body suddenly moving in a stance that defied gravity. He stepped on the window ledge and walked over the ceiling.

nDuring that split second, not only Miller, but even the two barbarians just looked at him, blankly staring.

n20 dexterity special skill!

nAnti-Gravity Steps!

nBecause he was facing multiple enemies, Marvin’s title Chaotic Battle Expert was displaying it’s ( 1 dexterity) effect.

nMarvin’s body was as light as a swallow and he nimbly jumped to the ceiling, and quickly rushed forwards from there like a vampire.

n

"ROAR!

" The barbarians felt humiliated!

nFacing a 1st rank ranger, the two were surprisingly not able to put him down. They were unable to accept this!

nThey were preparing to move toward Marvin.

nBut suddenly, two shadows flashed through from both sides of the pillar, like two black phantoms.

nThe two shadows were as fast as lightning and directly impacted the barbarians.

nIn an instant, Marvin could see the two barbarians in an extremely weak state.

n‘Plan successful!’

nMarvin was pleased and abruptly adjusted his body to drop down.

nCurved daggers in both hands, he easily cut the two barbarians’ heads off.

nPlop plop!

nBlood madly sprayed and Marvin’s entire sneaking attire was dyed red from blood.

nHe wiped his curved dagger in passing, and then coldly looked at Miller.

nLike a devil king that just came out of a blood pool.

n...

n

"How could this be?

"

nIt was as if Miller had seen a ghost, looking at those two strong barbarians dying in front him. He couldn’t believe it.

nThose were true 2nd rank Berserkers!

nWhy did it seem like Marvin was able to kill them like cutting cabbage?

nThis must be a hallucination!

nMiller took two steps back, stumbled, and fell on the couch.

nAt that time, he looked at those two faint silhouettes that were crawling up from the barbarians’ bodies with difficulty.

nIt was two elves.

nThey appeared to be in a very bad shape, standing unsteadily.

n

"You worked hard. Look for a safe place and heal yourselves before looking for me.

"

nMarvin indifferently said.

nAmber and Agate nodded, and the two disappeared in the shadows while supporting each other.

nMiller suddenly realized.

nActually Marvin had just attracted the two barbarians’ attention and let those two elves take care of pinning the barbarians down.

nOriginally, with the barbarians abnormal constitution, if they used Ancestral Blessing, they would be as hard to kill as a wizard of the same rank.

nBut they had underestimated the 1st rank ranger Marvin.

nThey focused their attention on Marvin’s body instead of the quietly creeping shadows on the sides.

nThis was Marvin’s plan.

nAs a legendary player, he never was a reckless person, and his tactics and strategies reached a very high standard.

nPhantom Assassin had an overpowered skill, Desperate Strike

nDesperate Strike: Ignore a target’s defenses, forcing the target to enter a near death state.

nThis certainly was an heaven defying skill. It was very cool in the game and quite a lot of players picked assassins because of this class skill.

nBut actually, this skill side-effects were very severe.

nThey would have to stay in a weak state for at least half a month.

nThis meant that those two elven phantom assassins couldn’t help Marvin deal with more stuff for half a month. Their own lives might be in danger at any time.

nOn top of that, desperate strike didn’t have a 100% hit rate.

nIf the barbarians were a bit cautious and used ancestral blessings, they might have been able to barely avoid dropping down from that frightening life gambling skill!

nBecause of this, Marvin’s plan was quite risky.

nBut his luck was good and his plan was effective.

nThe phantom assassins left the battlefield, and he successfully gained two barbarian heads. This won him 480 battle exp.

nThat kind of godlike last hit felt extremely good..

nTo have two loyal and devoted subordinates like that, Marvin felt that offering divinity as a sacrifice wasn’t a loss.

n...

n

"What else do you want to say?

"

nMarvin stared at Miller.

nAll the fat on his body shivered.

n

"You can’t kill me! I am a twin snakes of doom follower! If you kill me Sir King Cobra will find you and turn you into a puppet!

"

nMiller seemed to hold onto his last hope, desperately struggling.

n

"Right, you don’t dare to kill me!

"

nHe suddenly became full confidence, and nervously laughed,

"I originally advised your father to become a member of the twin snakes of doom but he actually criticized it as an evil cult. It was only natural that I would kill him. He was brazen enough to insult the great twin snakes of doom, serves him right. You also are a little bastard. Sir King Cobra will avenge me.

"

nMarvin was looking at him with some pity in his eyes,

"Brainwashed into an evil follower… Do you think I didn’t make any preparations? The twin snakes cult really have a way to follow an enemy’s trail. But I’m sorry, I actually know of a way to restrain it.

"

nMarvin punched Miller and then took out a dagger before ruthlessly stabbing it into the two small snakes in his eyes.

n

"Ahhh!

" A blood-curdling screech echoed in the room.

nAnd outside the window, flames were raging.

nChaos.
