Chapter 302 Legendary Time Manipulation Assassin

No one knew what William and Roland Fecker talked about.

Once Annie saw William’s charming (or rather, creepy) smile, she knew he was up to something.

Although he was the most charming man in the entire continent, his Luck Points played a major role in this sort of situation too.

For example…

His first opponent had been a famous Legendary Boss in his previous life.

It was Willis, the Time Manipulation Assassin.

Ahem! William was so ‘lucky’ to be matched with an opponent who possessed the rare time attribute. It had to be said that his opponent was a formidable one.

Willis was an assassin that worked for the Dark Shadow Alliance.

Of course, he didn’t attend the Magic Conference with that identity. Nonetheless, William had been paying attention to him earlier on, so he recognized him at one glance.

At this moment, both of them stood in the arena and silently stared at each other.

Evidently, unlike normal people, they didn’t have the hobby of dissing their opponents before fighting.

Willis had been an Epic titled expert in William’s previous life. Although he was known as the Time Manipulation Assassin, he could also use the Dark attribute, which meant that he was a dual attribute professional. With the Dark attribute, he could turn invisible. Currently, he was still a force to be reckoned with, even if he wasn’t very skilled in using the time attribute.

He was just like Old Leather. He could hit you easily, but you couldn’t hit him…

William looked at Willis, who was wearing a hood and felt a headache coming on. He felt like using money as a battle tactic again…

Frankly speaking, one only knew how awesome it was to have money after one felt the power it brought about. A strenuous task could be easily done as long as you had money.

William looked at Willis, who quietly waited for the referee to start the battle. He realized that there was no way he could use money to make Willis admit defeat.

The time came, and the referee gave the signal for the battle to commence.

In the next moment, Willis disappeared from the empty arena, leaving William alone in the middle.

Many of the spectators who didn’t manage to pass the knock-out round gasped in shock. Willis was able to become invisible without fusing into darkness?

Many people thought that this was impossible.

Even if he was an assassin that used the Dark attribute, he shouldn’t have been able to do that, or at least, Advanced assassins definitely couldn’t do that.

However, some people had different thoughts. This wasn’t considered to be pure stealth. Willis had instantly created a shadow and forcefully made himself invisible. Then, he suddenly disappeared in front of everyone at super speed.

Nonetheless, this person’s speed was way too fast!

Also, why didn’t his fast speed produce any sound at all?

This didn’t make sense!

Several contestants couldn’t comprehend the situation. They could vaguely sense that the Lord of the City of Dawn was going to die unless he used money to bribe his opponent…

However, since William had already recognized Willis, he knew how his opponent was able to go invisible.

“He isn’t using super speed. He possesses the power of time and distorted everyone’s view of him. Even so, how long can he keep this up?” William slowly closed his eyes, intending to use his Soul Perception to see through his opponent’s weakness.

“Now.” Willis had obtained intel on William beforehand, and he knew that the Lord of the City of Dawn was skilled at Soul Magic.

Willis had killed soul mages before. He attacked immediately once William closed his eyes.

Swish!

A luminous shield appeared behind William’s back and blocked the sharp blade that resembled a dark shadow.

However, that was not the main attack.

Although the sharp blade attack did some damage to the luminous shield, the killing blow was actually a sword that slashed towards William’s face.

That was right.

As an assassin, other than being skilled at knives, Willis liked to use swords too. He didn’t know many attacks, but that was fine as long as he perfected his few attacks.

His Sword Slash was one of the attacks that he had perfected.

That attack was extremely swift and powerful.

William’s battle energy shield was cut open like tofu.

His rune armor instantly suffered 5000 points of damage.

Boom!

With a snap of William’s fingers, a blue translucent shock wave swept across a 100-meter radius with William as the center.

Willis’s Sword Slash didn’t cause any effective damage to William. Similarly, William’s Soul Shock Wave merely made Willis retreat dozens of meters behind, disappearing in the dust clouds that the shock wave conjured.

“That was too fast!”

“Damn it, I didn’t even see what happened!”

“Both of them were just testing each other. They haven’t used their full power.” The spectators benefited much from watching this battle. Not only could they gain an understanding of their future opponent’s true combat power, but they could also learn some experience…

William gradually frowned. “Willis is a tough opponent. He’s very powerful. When I was struck by his Sword Slash just now, my Health Points decreased by…

“Well.

“Actually, only one-tenth of my Health was lost. That’s not too much.

“However, the damage caused in that attack was reduced after going through my battle energy shield, rune energy, and equipment.

“If I was struck by the same attack now, at least one-third of my Health Points would be gone.

“If I was a normal ranger or mage, I would have been killed in one attack. An Epic Warrior could withstand two attacks at most.

“Only a Legendary Shield-Bearer could withstand his attacks.

“Willis has mastered the essence of being an assassin, which is to kill people within one attack.

“Once he noticed that one attack wasn’t enough to kill me, he immediately moved from his position. He constantly exudes a strong killing intent to instill a sense of urgency in his opponent.

“He’s intentionally keeping me in a state of high tension. If I relax a little, he would immediately give me a lethal blow.”

William frowned. He extended his Mental Strength to his surroundings and carefully held the Thunder Blade in his hand. It wasn’t time for the Sword of Hegni to appear yet.

He didn’t wield any weapon in his left hand.

After all, if a critical moment came, he could use the grip of his Left Hand Of God to deal with Willis.

In the world of ‘Gods’, one should never underestimate assassin professionals who were above the Advanced level…

Beginner and Intermediate assassin players were considered to be one of the weakest, and they weren’t even qualified to join a legion. However, if their occupation, equipment, and skills were strong enough, assassins above the Advanced level could kill anyone at the same level as them in an instant.

Both parties didn’t stay still for long.

After four seconds, before William could activate his battle energy shield, Willis appeared in front of him.

Also, William became surrounded by nine shadow clones.

“Illusions, illusions. These are illusions created by the power of time. I shall rely on my sixth sense.” Although William’s Luck Points were low, his combat instinct had never failed him.

Almost at the same time as Willis made his move, William unleashed a thunderous sword attack at the leftmost shadow clone.

Eight bolts of lightning struck down on that shadow simultaneously.

Boom!

All nine shadows disappeared.

Willis suddenly appeared behind William.

“Gotcha!” William narrowed his eyes, reaching behind him with his left hand. He knew that all nine shadow clones were fake and didn’t make a fatal attack on them.

But…

The illusion created by the power of time was too terrifying.

William was able to accurately predict when Willis appeared behind him. However, Willis again used his power of time, and William could only grab at his shadow.

The moment he clenched his left fist, peals of thunder resounded across the entire space.

Lightning flashed in mid-air.

It was hard to imagine how powerful the grip of William’s left hand was, and how strong his Power of Thunder was.

Willis whizzed past the right side of William’s body.

At the same time, a dark glow could be seen.

Blood splattered in mid-air.

A long incision appeared on the right side of William’s abdomen …

His ribcage and intestines were exposed to the air instantly.

After that second attack, Willis disappeared again.

It wasn’t his style to follow up on a successful attack.

He had never forgotten the essence of being an assassin.

No matter how weak the enemy looked, he had to stay in his top form and use the most powerful attack on his enemy.

William didn’t make any extra movements. He merely pressed on his wound with his right hand, and released lightning currents from his fingers, scorching the surface of his bleeding wound. As long as he could stop the bleeding, it wouldn’t take long for his wound to heal based on his physical fitness.

However, that attack depleted a quarter of his Health Points.

Willis wasn’t going to give him a chance to recover his Health.

The prince raised his eyebrows. He had many trump cards, but he didn’t want to use one whenever he encountered an opponent.

“Then, I can only find an opportunity to use my Spirit Blast.” William murmured to himself.

Willis possessed several types of equipment and endowments related to soul defense. However, if William was able to use his Spirit Blast for 1 second, it was totally enough for him to dominate over Willis and thrash him.

Both of them liked to take a small break after they attacked

As a result, several crappy professionals got impatient.

They didn’t know how to appreciate this level of fighting. Although they knew that William and Willis had top-quality combat skills, they couldn’t understand their method of fighting.

Hence, many spectators went to other arenas to watch other battles.

The top ten professionals on the intel ranking list had very flashy combat styles, which made their battles ten times more exciting than William’s battle.

Burned Cinder and the others ended their battles. Expectedly, they won the first round.

They couldn’t help their surprise upon seeing that Lord William’s battle was still ongoing.

That assassin was clearly a lot stronger than some people on the intel ranking list.

For example, if the cannon gunner from the Red Fire Kingdom got Willis as his opponent, he would be killed in a second.

Diablo saw this and couldn’t help smacking his lips. “Tsk, if only that assassin had Wells as his opponent. If Wells puts up his strongest defense, he would definitely be this assassin’s nemesis.”

“Alec, can you defeat that assassin?” Burned Cinder suddenly asked.

“Lord William can totally dominate over me. What do you think?” Alec, who was also an assassin, could only sigh. Sometimes, the difference between two people’s level of power was too vast. He didn’t want to comment further.

Annie had ended her battle too. She remained expressionless even after witnessing William getting hurt, but she clenched her fists and silently cheered him on.

Annie believed that William would never lose.

Just when the little princess was silently cheering for William, someone initiated a fatal attack again.

Willis started his attack!

However, this time, William was faster than him. He attacked a split second before him.

Hand of Thunder God!

Within an 80-meter radius of Willis, 80 bolts of lightning randomly struck down.

Willis was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was hit for the first time.

The electricity kept buzzing on the surface of his body. However, the condition of his physical body was remarkable. No negative attributes, such as body paralysis and numbness, were triggered.

However, it was sufficient since he couldn’t go invisible anymore.

Spirit Blast!

Boom!

Others didn’t hear this sound, but Willis felt as if his brain had exploded into mush…

Time seemed to have stopped in that second.

He had lost his control over time.

In that instant, a big hand grabbed his face and slammed him onto the ground.

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

William didn’t do anything extra. He just firmly grabbed Willis’s head and repeatedly smashed it onto the abnormally hard ground.

He continued smashing until Willis’s helmet was completely bent out of shape, and a protective shield was triggered from his registration token.

It was only then that he stopped.

William won.

A battle with an assassin was that simple, but also that dangerous.

No matter who was killed, it would happen in an instant.
