Jia Xiu took aim at the cultist who had finished praying and was shoveling dirt.
He had no intention of jumping out for some fair and square one-on-one fight.
Use every possible method to create favorable conditions. If he could fight unfairly, then he would definitely fight unfairly.
This was truly going all out.
In a sense, it could also be called "respecting the battle."
Before making his move, Jia Xiu first used Insight to examine this cultist's background.
[Name: Unknown (Paladin · Oathbreaker LV.3 + Warlock LV.2)]
Seeing that class combination, Jia Xiu was mildly surprised.
Paladin plus Warlock—half a fellow professional. He had no idea what the pact was with, but it was probably something like a powerful Blood Clan member or a magical intelligent weapon.
As for an oathbreaking Paladin, it was because Paladins, with "holy" right there in their title, had moral requirements.
They had to swear to uphold fairness and justice, stand with the good, and fight evil and darkness.
But vows were things that could be made, and therefore broken.
For every person who aspired to uphold fairness and justice, there was naturally another who actively pursued ambition and power.
These Paladins who abandoned their vows were called Oathbreakers or Forsworn Knights.
As a member of a cult, being an Oathbreaker suited the identity perfectly.
It was just this class combination.
Divine Smite plus a hexblade's weapon enhancement—shocking! On a cultist in some remote little town, he had actually seen a reasonably normal class combination.
Compared to Ram's Barbarian-Cleric combination, this was simply reasonable beyond reason.
Could it be that the Moon Mother Goddess Cult really had an expert who even arranged growth paths for its followers?
Lower level than him, back turned, completely unguarded.
A single strike should be enough.
