Chapter 753: Reel in the Net (3)
\'So, they didn\'t want me to run away. They came prepared.\' He thought coldly while quickly asking Immortika about the incoming enemies and their numbers.
At this moment, Jacob suddenly sensed danger, and two inky swords filled with magic runes appeared in his hands. Without hesitation, he spun around and slashed them backward, creating a dark arc.
"Clang..."
A powerful sound of metal clashing together rang, magic particles sparked everyone, and a powerful shockwave occurred. Although Jacob didn\'t move, the attacker was sent flying backward despite avoiding being beheaded.
At this moment, Jacob could finally see the appearance of the attacker, who was in stealth, and his eyes contracted in disbelief and astonishment. The reason for this was that the attacker was wearing entirely white robes with golden outlines, and his head was covered under a golden hood. Still, what astounded Jacob was the translucent crystal golden disk attached under the man\'s feet!
\'Aren\'t they...\' Jacob suddenly stopped his train of thought and again swung his sword above his hand and the second sword in front of his torso.
Because the weapons clashed, powerful shockwaves appeared, sending two more figures flying. When their stealth broke, they wore the same costume and moved on the same discs. How could Jacob forget about these guys? He clearly remembered encountering them in the rare plains when they tried to assassinate him, and he almost lost his life to them back then. Furthermore, Jacob still used those discs, and to this day, he has never found anything related to them or been able to completely crack them. Yet now, these guys appear again and are clearly far stronger than those guys with gray and bronze discs.
Although he was already expecting an attack, he wasn\'t expecting to counter these faceless assassins. This could only mean that one of his enemies was directly related to the organization behind these assassins.
However, Jacob didn\'t have time to pay them any heed because, at this moment, he was finally able to see around a thousand such figures scattering around him, and despite their stealth, they couldn\'t hide from his eyes. Not to mention, the color spectrum around them was quite strange and unique from the other living beings he had seen.
Although they were only at the Beyond Unique Rank, they could still handle one of his blows containing 30% of his actual might. However, if he fought them head-on, it was disadvantageous to him, and his enemy was clearly going for guerilla warfare by sending these powerful cannon folders first and blocking his escape routes.
But what those guys hadn\'t expected was that a hint of bloodthirsty ecstasy bloomed in Jacob\'s eyes because they had just delivered a thousand Beyond Unique Rank blood bags to him, and he didn\'t have to go through the trouble of hunting those fleeing Ice Fiend Locusts. Moreover, the amount of blood he had absorbed from the Ice Fiend Locusts was huge, and they had almost lost all effect on him.
But these guys were mutants-like beings, and their blood was extremely potent, so even if Jacob had to be at a disadvantage, he wouldn\'t let them leave, and that barrier was another assurance.
As for the Yin Sky Island, he knew no one could take it in a short amount of time, especially with him around. So, without any more misgivings, Jacob took a step forward, leaving after imagine behind him, and appeared in front of the first attacker, who was still recovering from his early blow.
Looking at the color spectrum, he saw a peculiar thing, a hollow white spot right below his neck, which didn\'t exist in any living or dark being, and directly pierced towards it. The assassin reacted quickly, but he was \'slow\' in front of Jacob, who was almost at the peak of the First Phase of Body Transformation, and that white color spot was directly stabbed.
Now, it was normal Beyond Unique. They would\'ve been able to struggle or at least not die right away, but the moment the white spot was stabbed, the assassin was instantly killed without any resistance, and the golden disc attached to his feet finally dropped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jacob\'s lips curled up in a cruel smile, \'So, it is their weakness...\'
The dead assassin and the golden disc under his feet vanished at his moment, and Jacob directly moved towards the other two. A few more were on his tail, coming from all directions. Jacob sneered, as despite the golden disc speed that could rival an inspection legend, they were still slow, and he wasn\'t even using his fluid acceleration yet.
Like this, the game of cat and mouse begins, as Jacob goes off on a killing spree and starts killing them one by one while gathering their corpses and discs.
While Jacob was having the time of his life, nine figures were hidden, closely watching Jacob, who was \'exhausting\' his strength and waiting for the right moment to intervene.
"I think that guy is manhandling your men. He\'s not using his aura or spirit and dominating the entire battlefield with pure physical prowess. Furthermore, they can\'t even use magic since he\'s moving too fast, and if they cast any area of effect spells, they would only be doing him a favor. They are too weak!"
Hidden under a cloak, Asher harshly criticized with a hint of solemnity in his arrogant voice. He watched Jacob leave behind afterimages, mess with the assassins\' momentum, and take full advantage of their disrupted flow. He wasn\'t making a single mistake despite facing a thousand against one.
A tall man under cloaked was also watching coldly, with the same trial of thoughts as he replied, "At this point, he\'s playing with them, and it\'s like he\'s strolling in a garden and gathering fruit. If we don\'t change our tactics, the plan\'s first phase will be for naught. What do you think, Lord Leader?"
He looked towards the figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of a dark golden runic circle. The circle was revolving, and countless rune symbols changed with it.
"No need to worry, everyone." He finally spoke in his confident tone as he dismissively said, "This is just the start of the battle. I don\'t care about those cannon folders, but it doesn\'t mean they are completely worthless. Let us continue to watch until I complete this formation. Then I must trouble, sir prince, to take over!"
Asher glanced at the cross-lagged figure and snorted, "I hope you know what you\'re doing. There will be only one chance. Just don\'t mess up, or I won\'t be held accountable!"
