The Return Of The God Level Assassin Chapter 651 vs dark saint (iii)

SEEING this, Shen Ji Yun immediately moved towards the two. But he hadn't taken a few steps yet when some kind of symbol appeared on the ground he was standing. Black chains suddenly protruded from it and attacked him. He swiftly dodged the chains and slashed his sword, planning to cut the chains.

But to his surprise, his sword just pa.s.sed through the chains. This surprised him because he felt one of the chains brus.h.i.+ng pa.s.sed his cheek. So, he knew that it was definitely a solid object. This unexpected situation caused him to pause for a second. But this pause proved to be detrimental.

Chains bounded his limbs and body, making him unable to move. That's not all, those chains suddenly entered his body. He didn't feel any pain but he knew that it was not something good. He almost cursed. The moment he saw that symbol on the ground, he should have known that whatever would come out of it would not be something ordinary.

"Those are called 'phantom chains'," the Dark Saint's voice suddenly said. "They couldn't be broken by ordinary means. They bind your soul and slowly eat away at your life. Until nothing remained. So, just stand there and wait for your death."

As if on cue, Shen Ji Yun suddenly felt his whole body weakening. He checked his HP and MP and saw that both were decreasing at an incredible speed. Under normal circ.u.mstance, dying inside the game wouldn't be such a big problem for him. But this was not the same.

If he 'died' in this situation, Luo Yan would be left here to deal with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How could he just let that happen?

While Shen Ji Yun was contemplating on what to do, Luo Yan over there was still wondering why the Dark Saint did not get affected by the Eternal Lotus as he did the first time. He wasn't too worried about Shen Ji Yun because he knew that the other would definitely have a way to get out of the predicament he's in.

"You- how are you not affected by my daggers?" he asked straightforwardly.

There's no need to hide that it was his daggers that caused the other to freeze in time. What's the point of hiding when it was already so obvious? What's important now was to find out what this b.a.s.t.a.r.d did so he could avoid it if possible.

"Oh, is my naughty cat wondering why your little trick did not work?" the Dark Saint asked in that annoying tone of voice. "I have an item in me that could negate any status ailments inflicted by a weapon. I was unable to activate it earlier because I lacked the necessary Mana for it. But with the help of the souls of my precious believers, I finally have all the Mana I needed and more."

That's a very convenient and useful item. – Luo Yan thought.

Now that he knew that, it seemed that his dagger would no longer have any advantage. Unless he took whatever item the other was talking about. But he could already feel that that would only be a waste of time.

Should he just proceed to the last step and used the 'gift' he left to this guy earlier?

As he was pondering over that, he felt the grip on his neck tightening. He was forced to look down at the b.a.s.t.a.r.d still holding his neck.

"What are you thinking about, my naughty cat?" the Dark Saint said. "You should only be thinking about me at this moment."

Luo Yan was really on the verge of activating 'that' when he noticed something at the corner of his eyes. He smirked at the annoying b.a.s.t.a.r.d and said;

"My mind had no s.p.a.ce for a trash. And for the record, I'm not your cat. I'm someone else's rabbit."

The moment he finished saying that, Shen Ji Yun suddenly appeared beside them and ruthlessly cut off the Dark Saint's hand that was still gripping Luo Yan's neck. Landing on the ground, Luo Yan didn't waste any time and placed his hand on the Dark Saint's shadow. He then used the skill [Shadow Cage].

The Dark Saint's shadow morphed and formed black bars surrounding him, thus, making a cage. If Luo Yan could see his MP right now, he knew that it would be rapidly decreasing.

This skill could provide an absolute prison to an enemy. But only if the other was weaker than him. Obviously, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was much stronger. So, for [Shadow Cage] to have an effect, he needed to sacrifice a huge chunk of his MP.

But even so, the effect of the cage would only last for five seconds. Its cooldown was also pretty long. That's why he had been refraining from using it. At least, until the last moment.

And this was that moment.

He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and nodded at the other. Although he didn't know what the other used to get out of those chains, the important thing was he managed to do so.

Shen Ji Yun also nodded back. Both of them knew that they had to permanently restrict the Dark Saint's movement before the effect of [Shadow Cage] disappeared. And the fastest way to do that was to tear off the other's limbs.

They also thought of stabbing his heart and cutting of his head. But even those method would probably not kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Look, even the arm that was cut by Shen Ji Yun was not even bleeding that much. It even seemed like it would regrow at any second.

Before the five seconds was up, Shen Ji Yun slashed through the bars of the cage and swiftly cut off the Dark Saint's other arm and two legs. He even stabbed the other at his heart for good measure.

But just like what they thought, it didn't really kill him. The Dark Saint didn't even fall down with the lost of his limbs. Because black viscous-like Mana appeared and kept him afloat.

"Ah, you're really dwindling the life that my believer had given me," he said, obviously not worried despite his current condition. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun. "How did you manage to get out of the phantom chains?"

Shen Ji Yun used a holy item that could cleanse a player's body with anything that's invading it. He was actually unsure if the phantom chains would count as one, but he still tried. Good thing that it worked.

That item was a one-use item that he got from clearing a dungeon. Meaning that after one use, it would disappear. He didn't think it was a waste to use it now. If it's to help and support Luo Yan, then nothing was a waste.

"None of your business," – his simple response to the Dark Saint's question.

The other shrugged. "No matter. I'll just kill you the moment this cage disappeared."

Then, as if that's a signal, the cage made of shadow suddenly disintegrated into dust. But the Dark Saint didn't manage to immediately release an attack. Because two figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The bigger one stood at the back and clenched the Dark Saint's neck with his arm. The smaller one floated in front of the Dark Saint.

Yes, these two were Dusk and Eclipse.
