Chapter 151: Easily Overwhelmed Silver Tier Assassin

In the downtown area under the brilliance of Canlight City, in the Golden Lily Lane.

Within the colorful brilliance of the spell “Mirage”, the gray-clothed assassin gazed grimly at William.

Clearly, he was just secretly investigating, but ended up in such trouble. He really didn’t understand why Boss Tash arranged for him to come and watch this house.

William didn’t care about what the gray-clothed assassin was thinking. For him, the appearance of the Brotherhood of Eagles’ people in this place already explained a lot.

Without much ado, William lightly raised his magic staff, and a second-tier spell, “Spider Web,” flew towards the gray-clothed assassin’s body.

The gray-clothed assassin knew that it was a critical moment and absolutely couldn’t let William restrict his movements. He swiftly dodged to the left, avoiding the “Spider Web,” then charged towards William’s side.

As an assassin, before establishing a connection with the Shadow Plane after reaching the Gold Level, there were hardly any long-range killing skills.

To defeat the young mage in front of him, the gray-clothed assassin understood that only by getting up close and fighting desperately could there be a hope of surviving.

Even though his instincts were screaming at him to stay away, he couldn’t afford to heed them now.

William calmly watched the gray-clothed assassin charging towards him at an extremely fast speed, his expression unchanged.

To Rachel and the others, the gray-clothed assassin seemed like a blur, but to him, it was as clear as slow motion.

“Too rough!” muttered William, who had undergone training from legendary assassins.

It’s time to show his true skills!

William retracted his staff and, to the astonishment of Claw and Rachel, took out a shimmering dagger from his sleeve. He assumed a standard assassin’s stance.

Gripping the dagger in a reverse hold, bending down with knees slightly bent, his whole body tensed like a cheetah, ready to pounce.

The gray-clothed assassin charging towards William couldn’t believe his eyes.

What is he going to do? Isn’t he a mage?

Is a Silver Level mage now going to engage in close combat with me, and using an assassin’s weapon, a dagger?

But at this critical moment, the gray-clothed assassin couldn’t afford to think too much.

Midway through the charge, the gray-clothed assassin’s figure flickered, disappearing from William’s sight.

Assassin Technique: “Blitz”!

Assassin Technique: “Stealth”!

For professionals with insufficient perception, the assassin’s “Stealth” skill was one of the most troublesome and tricky skills, as they couldn’t detect their movements at all, essentially being forced to react passively in battle.

Of course, for those with high perception who could detect the traces of assassins, it was much simpler to deal with.

Not to mention William, who had a high affinity with the Shadow Plane, easily finding the gray-clothed assassin’s figure.

“You thought you could hide from me in stealth just now? How bold,” William said with a smile, exuding a sense of ease and confidence in his words.

Stealth was the greatest reliance of assassins, but at the same time, it was also a constraint.

They couldn’t use other abilities while maintaining stealth, so assassins in stealth were quite vulnerable.

The dagger in William’s hand spun deftly, slashing through the air towards his left.

Clang!

The crisp sound of blades colliding echoed out of nowhere, and the figure of the gray-clothed assassin holding the dagger appeared in midair, retreating even faster in the opposite direction.

The gray-clothed assassin felt like half of his body was numb, looking at William with incredulous eyes.

He was discovered so easily?

In just one encounter, he realized that William was not only not inferior to him in agility, as an agility-specialized assassin, but also far surpassed him in strength.

Not to mention, he was dressed as a noble mage, and the spells enveloping this area seemed quite impressive.

When did such a figure emerge in Canlight City?

As for Rachel and Claw, who were watching from the sidelines, they also wore shocked expressions, feeling like they had opened the door to a new world.

So this is how mages play in this game?

William didn’t say much either. The dagger in his hands spun between his two hands, naturally moving towards the direction of the gray-clothed assassin.

“So, can you tell me now why Tash sent you guys here?” After all, this gray-clothed assassin was Tash’s subordinate and might know some secrets.

William didn’t mind asking a few more questions.

The gray-clothed assassin gritted his teeth, half of his body just beginning to recover from the numbness. He felt as if he had been trampled by a bull, causing him pain all over, which also robbed him of the courage to continue resisting.

Lowering his head, the gray-clothed assassin said, “Respected sir, Boss Tash instructed me to keep an eye on this house. If anyone special comes, I am to inform him immediately.”

“So, have you relayed the information to Tash?” William asked next, standing before the gray-clothed assassin now.

The gray-clothed assassin felt extremely uneasy. When did a mage of the same level dare to stand before him without protection? But he still honestly replied, “Not yet. I was just about to leave when you found me.”

The gray-clothed assassin concealed his intention to attack William. At this moment, he only wanted to survive.

Brotherhood of Eagles? What’s that! As long as he could leave alive, as a Silver Level assassin, he could thrive anywhere.

This was the mindset of professionals operating in the gray area.

“Did you only mention keeping an eye on the house, or did he say anything else?” William continued asking, finding the information not explicit enough.

The gray-clothed assassin thought for a moment, then shook his head.

William gave him a disdainful look, knowing from this, what use was he?

Seemingly sensing William’s killing intent, the gray-clothed assassin hastily said, “Sir, I also know other information! This used to be the stronghold of the vampire Cortana. Tash has been here before, but he’s been coming here more often in the last three months.”

Oh? William waved away the Mirage spell, turning to look at Cortana’s house.

So the blood ritual should be set up inside the house, prepared for a long time and not easy to move. That’s why they arranged for these people to guard it?

But For such an important blood ritual, they let a Silver Level assassin and two ordinary people guard it?

Is it such a farce?

Or are there other tricks? William pondered, feeling a bit wary in his heart.

The gray-clothed assassin looked at William with some fear as he contemplated. Even though the Mirage spell around them had been lifted, he didn’t dare to leave secretly.

The Stealth skill was useless in front of this person. He felt that if William got a little more serious, he could easily crush him.

“Please forgive me, sir. I am willing to serve you,” the gray-clothed assassin finally managed to say after much hesitation.

William glanced at the gray-clothed assassin and smiled, saying, “So easily switching sides? Can Tash spare you?”

“Sir, actually, he has never liked me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned me such a thankless task,” the gray-clothed assassin said, bowing respectfully.
