A black dragon, over thirty meters tall, burst through the giant structure and appeared in the valley.
The black dragon's scales were harder than steel, and the crossbow bolt was indeed Explosive Shot, but the power of the explosion didn't even shatter a single dragon scale.
As for the giant spider venom?
Dragons have extremely high resistance to poison. At this speed, they could easily poison bison or even mammoths, but for a grown black dragon, it's nothing special and has no effect whatsoever.
It took flight, flying towards Nightbane with fury, its dragon eyes, as big as lanterns, staring intently at Jiang Jie.
After lying low for over twenty years, his plans were ruined. One can imagine the anger in Farad's heart.
Even now, knowing that many members of the Assassins' League have witnessed everything, and knowing that Duke Jorach will be furious and do everything in his power to deal with him, he still didn't run away immediately. He had to kill Jiang Jie first and vent his anger!
He believed he already knew Jiang Jie's strength.
A haphazard thief, at best a high-ranking thief, should ideally be Warrior and a human, with decent archery skills and a ton of Gnomes crossbow bolts and Gnomes bombs. Cheap Shot could wipe out a Legendary thief, or even an entire army.
But how do you deal with a Legendary black dragon?
Absolutely impossible!
The black dragon's defensive capabilities and magic resistance completely negate these crossbow bolts, bombs, and even poison. As for that bone dragon?
Bone dragons typically possess less than a third of their original strength, while the strength of a giant dragon is generally linked to its size.
This skeletal dragon was smaller than him and clearly not an ancient dragon that had lived for over ten thousand years. Even when it was alive, it wasn't a match for him, let alone after becoming a skeletal dragon.
Farad was confident he could end the fight in a minute, take down this wretched fellow, and then leave before Duke Jorach could send his men to surround and annihilate him.
As for destroying Ravenholdt Manor incidentally?
That's overthinking it; Farad doesn't want to die.
Why hasn't he eliminated Duke Jorach and taken over as the top leader all these years?
Because Duke Jorach is not easy to deal with; he is a Legendary thief who is even more powerful than himself, truly the greatest thief in human history.
Moreover, Ravenholdt Manor is a place teeming with hidden talents. There are many great thieves, hunting masters, combat masters, and even masters of their craft—and more than one!
Ravenholdt Manor is one of the most powerful organizations in the underworld; it's not so easy to deal with!
Farad flew towards Jiang Jie.
The members of the Assassins' League who finally arrived were stunned by what they saw.
Who would have thought that their common mentor, Grandmaster -level thief in the Assassins' League, was actually a black dragon?
The thought of a black dragon lurking beside them sent chills down their spines, filling them with lingering fear.
Kuhn, the orcish Orcs, exchanged a glance with the High Elf beside him. The High Elf immediately turned and ran towards the Ravenholdt Manor to inform Duke Jorach.
Kuhn, the new trainer and new member of the Assassins' League, immediately issued a series of orders to eradicate this major scourge of the Assassins' League.
Ravenholdt Manor, inside the castle.
Duke Jorach looked at Lilian standing before him, nodded slightly, and spoke with approval in his voice.
He certainly knew Lilian's identity, but that wasn't important.
The Assassins' League's members come from all over the world; they even have people in the Night Elf Sentinels and SI:7. Origin doesn't matter, identity doesn't matter; what matters is bringing profit to the Assassins' League, and that's enough.
He knew everything about Lilian. Not long ago, his old friend " One-Armed Invar " mentioned Lilian in a letter, believing that Lilian would inevitably surpass him and had the opportunity to become a Legendary thief.
Duke Jorach believed his old friend's judgment; Lilian's talent was indeed remarkable, especially in stealth and Stealth, surpassing even his own abilities in his youth.
Such a genius should join the Assassins' League; that would be tantamount to establishing a connection with the Order of the Silver Hand and that Legendary marquis.
There were many benefits. He even believed that Lilian's arrival here must have been at the behest of the Marquis. He could even guess what the Marquis wanted to do.
Dealing with the Syndicate?
Sure, but we need to discuss the price carefully.
The two talked for a while, and the shocking events outside didn't move him. He believed that Farad could handle everything. Anyway, these kinds of assassinations happened every few days, or at most every few weeks. He would get used to it.
He even speculated that the cowardly fellow might actually be the Legendary marquis, perhaps testing the Assassins' League 'Assassins' League to see if they had the strength to cooperate with him. Otherwise, why would they target the Assassins' League's second-in-command instead of dealing with ordinary members?
But when Farad transformed into a dragon and roared, Jorach finally couldn't sit still.
"You've been lurking around me for so long, and I didn't even notice? Farad, impressive! The Black Dragonflight, impressive! Deathwing, Nefarian, impressive! You dare to provoke me if I don't deal with you?"
Duke Jorach, enraged, laughed coldly and said, "Gather everyone, come with me to slay the dragon!"
"Yes, sir!"
A voice rang out from the darkness.
Lilian felt ice-cold all over.
She hadn't noticed for so long that someone had been Stealth behind her the whole time, and judging from the sound, they were less than five meters away. How could that be!
This ability to lurk is probably much stronger than that of the One-Armed Invar!
While Lilian was still in shock, Duke Jorach had already disappeared.
He reappeared half a minute later, now dressed in a full set of thief gear, and Sprint towards the door.
Lilian quickly followed, and then witnessed a scene that horrified her:
At least four or five hundred people appeared and rushed towards the black dragon.
She spotted at least five thieves, all moving faster than her. With her exceptional professional skills, she could immediately tell they were all formidable thieves!
Then she saw several people, some of whom were accompanied by a two-meter-tall giant bear, a one-and-a-half-meter-tall wild boar, and even a Dragonhawk!
Finally, she saw several griffins, and riding on them were several mages.
One of the mages was dressed in luxurious gear, leading Lilian to suspect that he was a master.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, what kind of place is Ravenholdt Manor?
Just how powerful is the Assassins' League?!
Lilian seemed to see a colossal creature emerge from the calm sea, stirring up towering waves!
Seeing Farad reveal his true form, Jiang Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't easy, but we've finally achieved our goal.
But why didn't you run away?
Do you really want me to accomplish a feat I've been dreaming of for a long time: slaying a dragon?
Yes, I've never personally killed a real, adult dragon, let alone a Legendary one.
Will you grant my wish?
Then I won't let you down!
Nightbane quickly rose in height, and the messy purple equipment on Jiang Jie's body instantly peeled off automatically, revealing a complete " Trollstalker " outfit. The transformation was completed in less than five seconds, and a greatsword appeared in his hand at the same time.
The divine sword Strom'kar is in hand!
I want to slay the dragon!
