“.“
Looking at the two mangled corpses before him, then glancing at the innocent-looking Stealthy Dragon lying on the ground beside him, Su Nan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Through his connection with his Magical Companion, he had a general idea of what had happened.
The two assassins, as soon as they had climbed over the wall, were discovered by the Stealthy Dragon, who was sleeping in the courtyard.
Initially, it had just been curious, observing them. It wasn’t until they approached the corridor and drew their weapons that it deed them as enemies and launched a ferocious attack. Unfortunately, it had used too much force, instantly killing both of them.
“.Next ti, rember to leave one alive.”
Su Nan patted the Stealthy Dragon’s head and turned his attention back to the two corpses.
Based on the density of their muscles and strength of their bones, both were official knights, and at least high-level knights.
To send two high-level knight-level assassins, and with the motivation to do so, the mastermind behind this was clear.
“If they sent people to , Brother should be the sa.”
Su Nan looked towards the main building, his perception spreading out. Indeed, he faintly heard a commotion.
He narrowed his eyes, cast a spell on himself to create a shield, and then a layer of azure light appeared on his body. He moved with the speed of wind, rushing out of the courtyard towards the main building.
Behind him, the Stealthy Dragon let out a hiss, leaped forward, and its body disappeared into the night.
In the courtyard in front of the main building, the sound of tal clashing against tal was relentless.
Led by Bradd, over ten knights and an equal number of Blackrock Beasts were besieging a tall, burly middle-aged man.
Despite the fact that they were outnumbered, Bradd and the others were actually on the defensive.
Under the moonlight, a faint, shimring light could be seen around the middle-aged man’s body.
The knights’ weapons, upon striking that layer of light, not only failed to break through, but they were also shaken back, causing the knights’ hands to ache.
In contrast, the middle-aged man could casually knock away a knight with a single strike.
Of everyone present, only Bradd could barely use his shield to face the opponent’s attack head-on.
Relying on their nurical advantage, they could barely hold their own against their enemy.
Not far away, Kei and an assassin wielding a black sword were locked in a fierce battle, and it was clear that Kei was at a disadvantage.
If it weren’t for the Blackrock Beasts’ fearless attacks that were sowhat restricting the assassin’s movents, the situation would have been even worse. ʀ
Su Nan arrived at the courtyard to witness this scene.
“Two Great Knight-level assassins, what a grand spectacle.”
Su Nan swept his gaze over the scene, instantly forming a rough judgnt of the assassins’ strength. He couldn’t help but wonder secretly.
Owen only had one Great Knight under his command. Where did he hire two Great Knight-level assassins from?
In this era, a Great Knight could receive the treatnt of a distinguished guest in any territory. They wouldn’t possibly beco low-level assassins.
However, now wasn’t the ti to think about this. Su Nan’s eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, “All of you, retreat!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bradd and the others, without hesitation, abandoned their opponents and retreated in unison.
The middle-aged knight was montarily stunned, his brow furrowed as he scrutinized Su Nan.
He clearly felt that the mont this young man appeared, the more than ten knights besieging him were visibly elated, their morale soaring.
Obviously, the newcor was no weakling, and he had instilled a great deal of confidence in them.
To have more than ten knights, including a peak knight, so obedient and respectful, this young man’s status in Black Stone City must be quite high.
Imdiately, the middle-aged knight thought of Su Nan, who was rumored to be a Wizard!
Then, looking at the young man’s face, his certainty grew.
“A Wizard?”
The middle-aged knight narrowed his eyes, a hint of seriousness in his expression.
Others might view Wizards as charlatans who played tricks, but he had access to so hidden information, and he knew that true Wizards were a mysterious and powerful group of people.
As for whether this Su Nan before him was a true Wizard?
The two high-level knights sent to assassinate Su Nan might be able to answer that.
Just by looking at Su Nan’s presence here, and the fact that the two assassins hadn’t shown themselves, one could guess their fate.
Without a doubt, this was a formidable opponent!
The middle-aged knight took a deep breath, gripped his sword hilt, and stared at the emotionless Su Nan with a look of extre caution.
But the next second, he felt like he had been slamd by a rapidly moving carriage. His entire body flew like a cannonball, crashing into the stone wall dozens of ters away.
Boom!
Stones flew, dust billowed!
The surrounding knights, who were watching the battle, were all stunned, their eyes wide with shock.
What happened?
How did he suddenly fly away?
Only Kei and the Black Sword knight faintly detected a clue.
At the mont the middle-aged knight was sent flying, they distinctly saw a patch of void subtly distort, outlining the silhouette of a giant beast.
Obviously, it was that beast that had attacked the middle-aged knight.
The Black Sword knight’s face was filled with terror.
What kind of monster is that?
It can even beco invisible?!
Before he could comprehend, a chilling scream erupted from the billowing dust. Imdiately afterward, a figure broke through the dust like a gust of wind, rushing out.
It was the middle-aged knight.
However, his current appearance was utterly wretched.
One of his arms hung limply by his side, bent at an unnatural angle. His chest and abdon had a series of arched blood holes, looking like the wounds left by a ferocious beast’s bite.
He was covered in blood, a sorry sight.
“Damn monster!”
The middle-aged knight roared with a contorted face, then as if sensing sothing, he suddenly swung his sword back.
But this attack missed.
In the next second, a massive figure erged from the other side, its forelimbs extended, revealing sharp, hooked claws that pierced the middle-aged knight’s body.
Then, it leaped high into the air, viciously pinning the middle-aged knight beneath it. Opening its bloody maw, revealing rows of sharp teeth, it ripped his body apart in three or two bites.
The scene was so bloody, it sent chills down one’s spine.
Bradd and the others unconsciously swallowed their saliva, their eyes filled with awe as they gazed at the giant beast.
Even though it was more than twice its original size, they still recognized it. The beast before them was the giant lizard that Su Nan had brought back from the Black Scale Lizardfolk.
They just didn’t know how it had beco so huge, and how it could beco invisible and move silently.
This terrifying combat ability, which had effortlessly crushed a Great Knight, was simply more than ten tis stronger than before!
Kei and the Black Sword knight had stopped fighting at so point. Both of them stared at the Stealthy Dragon in shock.
Kei, however, was filled with both shock and surprise.
The Black Sword knight was simply overwheld with horror.
The assassination mission, which they thought was a sure thing, had gone wrong from the start.
The intelligence reports didn’t ntion that the target had nurous knights and knight-level monsters guarding him.
Especially those strange black panthers, they couldn’t detect their aura, so as soon as they infiltrated, before they could even make a move, they were discovered.
If that were all, they could have just spent a little more effort to complete the mission, it wouldn’t have been difficult.
But what about this terrible beast?!
The intelligence reports didn’t ntion that Black Stone City had such a powerful and terrifying creature!
