Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Owen’s Foolish Move, an Unprecedented Crisis
But when the magma hit the black figures, something strange happened — it just passed right through them.
Sean’s face changed. “You’re one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Evil Demons Guild, the Shadow Assassin under the Dark Dragon King?”
“Hahaha, it’s an honor that Sean knows my name.” the black figure said.
John and Vivi turned to look at Vespera.
Vespera took a deep breath. As the daughter of the head of the Sovereign City Reclaser Association, she knew more about the Evil Demons Guild than anyone else.
“The Four Heavenly Kings of the Evil Demons Guild are the Evil Tiger Heavenly King, the Ghost Phoenix Heavenly King, the Dark Dragon Heavenly King, and the Nether Lion Heavenly King. Each of them has over 90 level.”
“This Shadow Assassin is the most famous warrior under the Dark Dragon King. He once assassinated an 85 level warrior from the empire.”
Vivi and John immediately opened their mouths in shock. A warrior of this level was never supposed to be here.
They thought of something and looked at Kelsey, who was standing nervously.
“Sorry, Vespera, Vivi, John. This person must have come for me.” Kelsey said, looking sad.
She was scared too, but she still said what she felt in her heart.
Vespera gently patted Kelsey’s head and said softly.”It’s okay. Believe in Sean.”
Sean let out a quiet breath. Normally, besides him, there were still many strong people in the Sovereign City royal family, hiding in the shadows to protect the princess.
But now, there was no sign of anyone around.
It was very likely that, besides this Shadow Assassin, there was also a high-level Reclasser from the Evil Demons Guild. They had used some method to hold back the royal’s strength.
The enemy had prepared too well.
It was as if they had known all along that Princess Kelsey would be here.
If it wasn’t for him coming suddenly because of news about his student Lucien, Kelsey might already have been taken by now.
A hint of worry flashed in Sean’s eyes. The most likely explanation was that there was a spy from the Evil Demons Guild inside the Sovereign City.
And this spy knew a lot about Kelsey, Vespera, and the others. They knew they would come to The White City.
“Sean, you know that people like us, once we get into a serious fight, even a small city like The White City could be completely destroyed.”
“I just want Kelsey.” The Shadow Assassin’s voice rang out again.
Kelsey was scared and clenched her fists. She didn’t know why such a big disaster had happened. She hadn’t done anything wrong.
The White City was just a small city, but it was home to hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. They couldn’t die because of her.
Kelsey gathered her courage and took a step forward, her voice shaking as she said to Sean:
“Sean, I can…”
Sean shook his head and said slowly.”Your Highness, you’re still young. Don’t believe what the enemy says. They won’t let The White City go.”
“He’s not attacking now because he’s afraid of us fighting to the death.”
“The black figures are his clones. Each one is super fast, but their attacks aren’t strong. Their health should be low, too. They can only hold us back.”
“Wait a bit. Luke might only be 79 level, but he’s not that easy to deal with.”
Sean had lived for so long, so he wasn’t that naive.
If he wanted to protect The White City as much as possible, the only way was for the royal family’s strong people to defeat the enemy, or for Luke to come back.
He was waiting. The enemy was waiting too.
“Hmm, a little kid came?” The Shadow Assassin slowly turned his head, looking toward the distant street.
At the corner of the street, Aiden’s heart was pounding, his adrenaline shooting up.
He had just sneaked here, and the enemy had already noticed him. The feeling of death about to come made his hair stand on end.
“Terrifying! He’s not weaker than Demon Serpent Orion!”
“What’s going on with The White City today? Why are there so many terrifying strong people?”
“Good thing he’s still fighting with Sean and hasn’t attacked me yet.”
Aiden tried to slow his heartbeat. When it came to potential, he wasn’t afraid of any genius!
The 10,000x critical hit system was enough to make him stand above others.
But this situation? It was like he hadn’t even left the beginner village, and already met a boss!
An 80 level boss!
He was only level 20 now!
Aiden had never imagined the world could be this dangerous. Just trying to grow strong and stay safe was already a big challenge.
“Stealth skills, even a mage needs them!”
“I need escape skills, items, and equipment that can save my life!”
Since he was still alive, he should think about how to become stronger, how to have no weaknesses at all.
Otherwise, the next time something like this happened, he would still be helpless and covered in the shadow of death.
He needed a front-line tank pet, stealth skills, escape skills, items, and equipment. All of them needed to be found.
Aiden slowly backed away, trying not to make any noise. This situation was already way beyond what a new Reclasser like him could handle.
If there was no risk, he wouldn’t mind helping Vespera and Sean.
One was about his mount, the other was about fixing his staff.
Vespera was okay, but if Sean died, he would lose a Legendary Rank staff!
Even though he could get a better one later when he got stronger, using his 10,000x critical hit system, the feeling of losing a treasure was really annoying.
“Evil Demons Guild, I remember you.” Aiden thought, gritting his teeth.
He was someone who never forgot a grudge. Ronald, who had wronged him, was now a blackened corpse, and Elyra and May didn’t have a good ending either.
The Evil Demons Guild had picked a fight with him, so they should be ready for his revenge. It just wasn’t the right time yet.
When the moment was right, he would make sure that the Shadow Assassin, the Demon Serpent, and even the Four Heavenly Kings all tasted his retaliation.
As Aiden reached the end of the street, a voice suddenly rang out behind Sean, Vespera, and Kelsey.
“Your Highness, thank goodness you’re safe! Don’t worry, I’m here to protect you!”
Owen, covered in wounds, looking messy, with his right arm hanging lifelessly, shouted loudly.
His face showed a very happy expression. He was right—there was Sean and other royal strong people around, so the Evil Demons Guild wouldn’t succeed!
Now standing in front of the princess, he could not only gain credit but also improve Vespera’s opinion of him.
To escape, he had used ten puppets and exploded eight of them!
The remaining two were both seriously damaged and couldn’t be used.
That was a total of 8 billion!
Even though he was the grandson of the top minister of the empire, he was almost breaking down from such a big loss.
Owen didn’t notice the strange atmosphere around him. He stood tall, with an elegant and determined look, and quickly walked toward Kelsey and the others.
“Your Highness, I’m here to protect you!”
A shadowy figure slowly turned his head, glanced at Owen, and said coldly:
“Pathetic.”
“Two little mice. Since you’re looking for death, I’ll deal with you first.”
Owen looked unimpressed. Sean was right there, completely unharmed. This member of the Evil Demons Guild must be afraid of Sean, that’s why he hadn’t fought yet.
Meanwhile, Aiden, who had already reached the end of the street, didn’t hesitate at all. He quickly pulled out a mana potion, drank it in one gulp, and then poured his mana into the Iron Dragon Wings!
He gripped his Epic staff tightly, and his strong Spirit power kept checking everything around him. His mind kept recalling what Sean had said.
“Clones. Fast, but low health and weak attacks.”
Run away? Even with the Iron Dragon Wings, there was almost no chance to escape.
Speed was the enemy’s advantage, not his.
His only advantage was that the enemy didn’t know his full strength, and they would be careless.
Aiden widened his eyes and stared straight ahead.
No one. No footsteps. Nothing unusual.
Something was wrong!
The danger of death grew stronger and stronger. Aiden’s heart almost stopped.
A semi-transparent scythe slowly appeared behind him.
And in front of Sean and the others, the shadowy figure standing on the streetlight quickly disappeared.
Sean didn’t hesitate. He raised his huge hammer and smashed it toward Owen’s direction.
He wasn’t trying to save Owen. He was trying to take advantage of the enemy’s move and break the situation.
At this moment, Aiden felt like time around him had frozen.
His strong Spirit power kept telling him of a terrifying danger, but nothing unusual was in front of him.
Just as the semi-transparent scythe was about to cut off Aiden’s head, he didn’t hesitate. He activated the Iron Dragon Wings and, at the same time, released Ultimate Frost behind him!
Dash!
Slash!
A sharp pain shot through Aiden’s back. Before his warm blood could fall to the ground, he bit his pain and used his second skill, Demon’s Domain!
The ice elements from Ultimate Frost could only freeze the enemy for a brief moment.
After that, a thick dark energy appeared. A pale black figure, holding a scythe, raised the weapon and said in surprise:
“Not bad, kid. You really surprised me.”
Aiden had never felt so nervous before. People only reached their full potential when pushed to the limit.
He watched as Demon’s Domain wrapped around the figure. Then he quickly pulled out a mana potion and drank it as fast as he could.
Using a Light Healing Spell to heal his wounds?
No, that would only slow down his death.
“Thunder’s Wrath!”Aiden’s mana was completely drained in an instant. A series of lightning bolts flashed out from his body!
