At this moment.
Lady Silver Moon was a bit stunned.
Clearly, the Lord of Shadows had Soren as the assassination target, but for some unknown reason, at the beginning of the battle, she became the primary target of the assassins, and most of the enemies were coming straight for her.
Is this really how it’s going to be!?
At this moment, Lady Silver Moon felt utterly devastated. After all, she was just an avatar that had descended here, and the battles in her divine kingdom had already consumed quite a bit of her power. Now, being besieged by a group of legendary assassins, the situation seemed quite perilous. The Lord of Shadows had the best batch of legendary assassins in the multiverse under their command, many of whom had been granted a touch of divinity by the Lord of Shadows. For such an old deity, while divinity was indeed quite rare, acquiring a little bit here and there was not particularly difficult.
This group of assassins still had the potential to threaten a true god in saint form!
—“Divine Power [Change Space]!”
Faced with the frenzied attacks of the enemies, Soren could no longer sit idly by.
These enemies had blocked spatial teleportation in advance. Only by relying on divine power could he break the seal and temporarily remove these dimensional locks. It didn’t matter much to Soren since he still had strong melee abilities, but he was unsure about Lady Silver Moon—if the teleportation spells were unusable, she could very well fall here. If the avatar dies, her true form would also suffer serious losses, and that was not what he wanted to see.
An invisible divine power collided.
The space around them showed slight distortions, and a hint of shock appeared on Soren’s face.
He failed.
He actually couldn’t break through the dimensional lock; they were restrained by a thread of power from the Shadow Plane.
—“Advanced Energy Shield!”
Lady Silver Moon, being an old deity, activated her energy protective field at the moment of attack, then took out a Heavy Hammer, which was her exclusive artifact, the Staff of the Fourth Moon!
One. Two, three, four, five…
Although Soren couldn’t see the enemy’s figures, he relied on his Tracking divine profession to lock onto their positions. Assassins possessed the ability of Permanent Invisibility. This was quite dangerous for other legendary beings. However, for Soren, who had the Tracking profession, it was not a problem at all. As long as he caught a trace, he could lock onto the target. This was also why the Lord of Shadows had never dared to face Soren personally; even now, there were no signs of them.
If the Lord of Shadows appeared, Soren could instantly use his Tracking profession to lock onto Them!
—“Shadow Hide!”
—“Shadow Assassination!”
—“Transform into Slayer!”
Among the assassins attacking the two was a total of seven visible, legendary-level assassins, including some part-time wizards who possessed shadow casting abilities.
They summoned twisted shadow creatures and surrounded Soren and Lady Silver Moon.
At this moment, Soren could no longer hold back. After all, this was a legendary assassination team. He instantly transformed into Slayer Form and pounced toward the nearest fully invisible enemy.
—“Divine Shockwave!”
A sacred power surged forth.
The light ahead showed a hint of distortion as an enemy was blasted away by the Divine Shockwave.
—“Edict: d*ath!”
Soren didn’t dare to hesitate; seizing an opportunity, he swiftly killed an enemy. His divine power value was abundant, with Modo City continuously providing it, so there was no need to conserve his divine power in such a critical moment.
—“Divine Power [Time Stop]!”
Around Lady Silver Moon’s body, three assassins appeared. The advanced energy shield was almost instantly shattered.
In this situation, she could no longer conserve divine power. Directly using her divine power, she activated [Time Stop], followed by swinging her heavy hammer to smash out.
A splash of bl**d sprayed!
However, the corpse did not appear. Even in the face of d*ath, these assassins were still in an invisible state.
“There’s a shadow wizard on the left!”
“Leave the rest to me!”
A hint of bl**d-red brilliance appeared in Soren’s pupils. With the growth of divine power, especially after acquiring the d*ath Domain, Soren’s mastery over transforming into Slayer became stronger. Moreover, the influence on himself was diminishing. If he could master the [Slaughter] divine profession, he might completely eliminate the negative effects of transforming into Slayer.
“d*e!”
The power of the Tracking profession was fully unleashed; to Soren, those completely invisible enemies had nowhere to hide. Their ability to remain invisible while attacking was extremely dangerous for others, but for Soren, it was utterly ineffective.
The Slayer Form granted Soren immense vitality.
He no longer had to worry about being taken down by a backstab from these legendary assassins, allowing him to close the distance for close combat.
—“Shadow Leap!”
The spatial barrier seemed to be directed only at Soren and Lady Silver Moon; these assassins could still use their shadow-based shuttling abilities.
An assassin suddenly appeared behind Soren, seemingly ready to stab him from behind.
—“Instinctive Dodge!”
Faced with the enemy’s attack, Soren had no reaction; he didn’t even turn around. At the very moment the enemy closed in, he suddenly gripped his curved blade and stabbed backward, followed by a spurt of bl**d.
In the entire Material Plane!
There were truly very few who could dodge better than Soren.
These assassins actually thought they could backstab Soren; they were simply courting d*ath!
Backstab, ambush, shadow attack.
All of the assassins’ sneak attack abilities were completely ineffective against Soren. It was as if he had a third eye, easily predicting any sneaky maneuver.
“Foolish!”
A cruel smile crept onto Soren’s lips as he lunged forward, stabbing the curved blade into a wisp of air, and bl**d sprayed forth when he pulled it out.
He was the God of Half-Elves and Wanderers!
Across the entire multiverse, who could know the abilities of the wanderer better than the God of Wanderers?
If these assassins attempted to attack him head-on, Soren might be in a bit of danger, but they foolishly chose to launch sneak attacks, which was simply a path to self-destruction!
How could the God of Wanderers d*e at the hands of a group of assassins evolved from wanderers?
They were completely out of their league!
—“Shadow Hide!”
Soren’s figure vanished from his spot. He felt that as the God of Wanderers, he should teach these naive folks what true assassination art really is!
