Chapter Twelve Prey and Hunter

  There is no need to discuss tactics anymore, divide and conquer is the best option.

  This is not Meddy and others being arrogant, the reason for dividing troops is not to weaken their own side, but to further weaken the enemy. Three 30-level killers gathered together pose a much greater threat than four 20-level students can, so it's better to separate them, which will have more chances of winning.

  "Midi, come with me to deal with that assassin!" Fina said.

  Sigmund and Lilian exchanged a glance - this meant that the Storm Queen had determined that Midy was the strongest of the three, obviously, Lilian was not convinced, however, with a great enemy at hand, there was no room for argument, the freckled girl could only glare at Midy angrily, then disappeared around the corner with the blond boy.

  Their target was that 30-level Gunner, a long-range controller whose power would explode when combined with his companions, but was the weakest in the absence of a meat shield. This was the best time to deal with this profession.

  Assassins are opponents that need to be taken out as soon as possible, otherwise, with a slight carelessness, they may sneak up and deal a fatal blow.

  As for the strongest killer, it's clear that he is far beyond level 30. Until now, Mide has not been able to determine his exact strength, but there is no doubt that he is the strongest among this group of killers. Before completely isolating him, neither Mide nor Fina wants to confront him head-on.

  The medicine sprayed on their bodies was still effective, and most of the monsters did not notice the two moving in the shadows, but instead continued to gather deeper into the ruins, apparently, the killers were inside.

  Following the direction of the monster's movement, Midy soon discovered his target.

  That 30-level assassin was sweeping away the cat demons, these monsters were not a threat to her, but when the assassin lost the shelter of the shadows, she herself became the greatest danger.

  The difference in level made the assassin notice the two who returned at the first time, she stared with wide eyes as if she couldn't believe it for a moment, and then revealed an extremely cold smile.

  "You're just a bunch of trash who can't even reach level 20, and yet you dare to come back? Do you really think you're that strong?" The assassin gazed at Middy and Feena with the same gaze as if looking at dead people, directly flinging out several poisoned daggers.

  Midi didn't block or even slow down, but instead instantly flashed to the side, revealing Fina behind him.

  Exposing the vulnerable mage to an assassin was undoubtedly not a normal close combat guardian's move, however, years of shared battles had let Midee know that this was absolutely the best choice.

  Just as he had expected, the red-haired girl had condensed an incredibly powerful magic vortex at an unbelievable speed while running. At the moment when the assassin threw out his dagger with disdain and contempt, the Storm Queen had already locked onto her position.

  The next instant, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of compressed air being expelled, a substantial azure light burst forth from Fiona's palm, like an extremely sharp war spear, tearing through the stagnant air and stabbing straight at the assassin.

  The poisonous dagger was instantly reduced to ashes in the scorching magic, and it couldn't even slightly stop the momentum of this shockwave.

  A deafening roar, and dozens of goblins were sent flying by the shockwave alone.

  "What is this?" The dark elf was shocked for a moment, even if she had an advantage of nearly 10 levels over her opponent, but facing the intense light that broke through the air, she still felt a strong sense of danger from the bottom of her heart.

  In fact, in principle, this is the basic skill of an unconverted mage - Magic Missile.

  But this is no ordinary magic bullet, it's Fina's magic bullet.

  She, who would be called the Queen of Magic Bullets in the future, had an attainments on this simplest magic that ordinary people could hardly imagine. Various techniques such as efficient magic power, superimposed magic power, penetrating magic power, long-range firepower, amplification effect, and super-tier specialization were all cleverly added to the seemingly ordinary flying bullets in Fina's hands, making them a destructive force that made people fearful.

  Although the Dark Elf had reached level 30, and was a whole tier above Fina in terms of physical strength, when faced with the overwhelming momentum, she still faltered in an instant.

  "Damn it!" She gritted her teeth and gave up the idea of fighting head-on.

  A phantom shadow appeared in the assassin's original position, while his true body had already flashed ten meters away at the moment of being hit.

  Shadow Clone, can be used to confuse the enemy in close combat, and is also an excellent mobility skill. Assassins who are skilled at using clones can even use this skill to escape when bound. This is a signature skill of assassins.

  But still, this is the future Magic Bullet Queen, the top adventurer's magic bullet, even if she only has 21 levels now.

  The red-haired girl's hand moved suddenly, pointing once again at the transferred assassin. The terrifying magic beam, which didn't follow any physical laws, instantly transformed from a sharp steel spear into a slithering live snake, following Fiona's movements and drawing a huge arc in mid-air before biting towards its target with relentless persistence.

  "What?! The Dark Elf could hardly believe his eyes."

  "You're no match for me." Fiona said in a calm tone with absolute confidence.

  With this haughty declaration, the girl's red hair fluttered in the windless ruins like a flag. The next moment, her body surged with azure magical light, eight magic bullets formed out of thin air, like an open net, and together with the initial snake-like beam of light, they pounced on the assassin.

  A string of uninterrupted explosions rang out in the ruins, and the earth trembled at this moment.

  Midi didn't care about the Dark Elf's life or death, at this level of 30, with physical quality and equipment accumulation, it was well-prepared, unless encountering a great opportunity, otherwise it would be difficult to kill instantly.

  But if you think you can defeat Fina just because of your 30-level advantage, that's even more impossible.

  Assassins and mages are professions that counter each other. When an assassin is hiding in the dark, they have the upper hand, and a close-range ambush can be enough to take down any mage of the same level. However, if this profession that relies heavily on shadows loses the protection of darkness, then in the face of a mage's firepower, an assassin who lacks strong charging ability and effective defensive means will find it extremely difficult to get close, even if they want to.

  In the end, the one who will emerge victorious is definitely Fina, whose magical power seems endless, and not that Dark Elf who has already revealed his true form from the very beginning.

  Exchanging a tacit glance with the red-haired girl, Middy left without looking back and rushed deeper into the ruins.

  In the high-intensity battle of the red-haired girl, a 19-level Ghost Swordsman who had not even changed jobs yet could not exert much power and would instead hinder those bullet trajectories that rained down like fire from the sky.

  So Mide left without hesitation.

  His target was not an assassin, but that top-level Sword Soul.

  It is absolutely impossible to let high-level killers gather and form a killing array, which is the basic principle. On the other hand, from a certain perspective, the formation of the killer's array was strengthened compared to the previous life, precisely because Mide changed his original choice after rebirth.

  Changes brought about by oneself must be resolved by oneself!

  Midi's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, his footsteps swift but silent as he glided through the dark ruins, avoiding hordes of monsters and making his way up through the battlefield, yet never once drawing the attention of any monster, nor engaging in even a single meaningless battle.

  This is the realm that can be reached by the most excellent adventurers.

  But in the next moment, Midy, who was running at full speed, seemed to sense something and suddenly made an emergency stop, interrupting his smooth movement, and then jumped back violently.

  A strong gust of wind swept across his face, barely a hair's breadth away, as if something cool had brushed against his bangs.

  The man has yet to arrive, but his sword is already here, this is the true intention of the sword's soul.

  No words were exchanged, nor were they needed; after a burst of wind, a shadow like an arrow had already appeared in front of Mi Di.

  The two were on a completely different level, and Midei didn't even have time to see his opponent's face, let alone the movements of their hands. All he could do was quickly raise his long sword to block at his heart.

  With a crisp "ting" sound, the sword emitted an ear-piercing metallic collision sound, and a massive force was transmitted through the sword to Middy's arms. The impact was so great that it sent Middy flying into the air, his feet momentarily leaving the ground.

  Level 35!

  Feeling the hilt's tremble, his arms' numbness, and lungs' suffocation, Mide finally calculated out his opponent's level.

  But he had no time to think more, for the assassin's next attack was already here again.
