It was precisely these unique and unconventional methods that allowed Baresi, a Moon Class expert, to be unable to mount a fatal counterattack for a time.
At this moment, hundreds of knights on the ground had carefully protected [ Son of God ] Kaká in the very center.
Meanwhile, Baresi, who stood suspended in the void above, was enveloped by a barrage of arrows like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms. Like banana leaves in a rainstorm, layers of white light rippled continuously appeared a meter in front of him. Under the protection of this layer of light, although the torrential rain of arrows was extremely fierce and terrifying, it was never able to penetrate within a meter of Baresi's body.
Clearly, in terms of true power, the mysterious assassin is no match for Baresi.
The moment Baresi finds a chance to catch his breath and launch a counterattack, it will be the beginning of the assassin's downfall.
Soon, the assassin himself realized this.
The assassin changed his attack method in the next instant.
He stood up, and the strange longbow in his hand, which looked like two bows joined together, disappeared in a flash of light. In his hand appeared a streamlined javelin about two meters long with spikes at both ends. The javelin was completely smooth, without any patterns or designs, and from a distance it looked like an almost invisible thin line.
With a clenched fist, he accelerated, his body suddenly leaning forward. With a furious roar, he hurled his Long Spear, piercing the sky and heading straight for Baresi in the void.
This shot, seemingly casual, was actually extremely terrifying.
The javelin arrived in front of Baresi in mid-air the instant it was thrown, seemingly ignoring speed and distance.
White ripples kept appearing in front of Baresi, but these ripples of light could not stop the javelin like they had stopped the arrows before.
In the blink of an eye, the javelin had shattered more than a dozen white ripples, and was less than a centimeter away from Baresi's heart.
At that very moment, a long, piercing, and deafening howl, like the wrath of the heavens, resounded throughout everyone. It was the sound of a javelin piercing the air; the speed of the javelin thrown by the assassin had exceeded the speed of sound, which was why such an anomaly occurred.
Fortunately, Baresi had set up more than one layer of Holy Power defense in front of him.
The javelin shattered layer upon layer of Holy Power defense, but ultimately could not advance further due to the assassin's own limitations.
However, just when many thought the javelin was about to fall to the ground exhausted, suddenly, another change occurred. Lightning burst from the javelin, generating terrifying Charged Bolt power. Under the enhancement of this Charged Bolt power, the Holy Power defense set up by Baresi shattered like paper. The javelin pierced through Baresi's silver Holy Power ripple defense and shot towards Baresi's heart.
"Danger!"
"Be careful, sir!"
The Church knights on the ground couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The assassin's elusive methods were simply terrifying, leaving them all terrified. Fortunately, their opponent was a Moon Class expert like Baresi; otherwise, they would have been dead a thousand times over.
Sizzle!
The Divine Master Baresi, standing in the void, bristled with hair and beard. His incredible Dodge in an instant revealed the unassailable dignity of a Moon Class expert.
The expression that suddenly transformed into Charged Bolt power ultimately failed to injure his body, but it tore a large hole in the armpit of Baresi's simple black and white robe, which was covered in patches. Even the white inner robe beneath the robe was scorched yellow by the Charged Bolt.
A shocking scene unfolded.
"I admit, your strength is indeed astonishing, but unfortunately, your performance ends here." Baresi dodged the attack, stood still in the void of his mind, and his expression became calm.
Having fought this far, his mood had calmed down, no longer as furious as he had been after the initial attack. This was because the assassin had demonstrated strength worthy of his respect; although he hadn't advanced to the level of Moon Class expert, his power had at least reached the level of Eight-Star Class.
It was at this moment that Baresi had a sudden realization, an awareness of a small problem he had initially overlooked—
This assassin was actually targeting me.
Just minutes before, when the assassination had begun, many people instinctively assumed the assassins were after Kaká, the " Son of God."
Because during their years of travel, every assassination attempt they encountered was aimed at Kaká, the " Son of God." After all, only someone of Kaká's noble status and limitless potential would become a target for assassination by hostile forces. In all the assassination attempts the team had encountered before, none had been aimed at anyone other than Kaká.
This time, however, it's clearly different.
This mysterious assassin targeted him from the very beginning, with every strike aimed at him, showing no sign of ever making a move against the smiling, handsome [ Son of God ] surrounded by the crowd.
Baresi's mind raced as he began to consider the possible information revealed by this sudden discovery.
He even had a vague suspicion about someone.
But I'm not sure.
Does that guy really have that much guts?
While his mind was focused, his hands moved with lightning speed.
Baresi's entire body was enveloped in silver flames that instantly reached their maximum intensity, engulfing the entire valley.
In the next instant, countless javelins, conjured from silver Holy Power, appeared in the air, their tips pointing towards the assassins on the ground. Each dragon spear was two meters long, and although they were conjured from Holy Power, they shone with a metallic light of death. Hundreds of terrifying javelins filled the entire sky!
With such power, Baresi could destroy the entire valley in an instant if he so desired.
The valley was filled with an apocalyptic atmosphere of divine judgment, and the air seemed to freeze!
"Kneel down and surrender, and I'll spare your life!" Baresi's body was ethereal, his aura unparalleled, as if he were one with heaven and earth, unshakeable, his pale hair and beard fluttering in the wind.
"Forgive your sister!"
The assassin uttered a nonsensical taunt, then lightly raised his hand. Amidst a buzzing sound, clusters of fiery red lights suddenly appeared in the distance. These fiery red lights drifted and coalesced, and a strange thing happened—the fiery red lights actually merged together and transformed into a figure exactly like the assassin.
This person, from their clothes and appearance to the weapon they carried and their facial expression, was exactly the same as the assassin.
"What?"
"An avatar? Or Blink? Which one is real?"
The two men were ten meters apart, their imitations so lifelike there was no flaw whatsoever. Everyone stared wide-eyed, but no one could tell which one was the true assassin.
Baresi's expression also changed slightly. He focused his attention, and two beams of silver-white divine light shone from his eyes, shining down and enveloping the two identical figures, trying to distinguish the differences and find the assassin's true identity.
"What? They're exactly the same? My [ Eye of God ] can't even tell the difference?"
Baresi's expression turned cold, and a thought struck him. He stopped worrying about distinguishing between the real and the fake, and instead spread his five fingers wide and pushed towards the location of the 'two assassins' below.
In an instant, the countless floating dragon spears transformed into streaks of silver lightning.
The dragon spear shot through the air, creating countless streaks of light that blinded everyone. The sharp, piercing sound of it tearing through the air shattered the eardrums of those with weaker strength, and the rising sun in the sky was instantly stripped of its color.
Countless streaks of dragon spear light indiscriminately rained down on the ground in the direction of the 'two assassins'.
The earth shook and the sky trembled; ghosts wailed and gods howled.
A full-force attack from Moon Class expert using their Dou Qi technique possesses Armageddon power.
The knights and priests of the Church watched with wide eyes as they awaited the fate of this powerful yet pitiful assassin. None of them believed that he could still devise a plan under such circumstances; let alone withstand the attack, even Dodge was absolutely impossible.
As expected, under the dense and terrifying rain of dragon spears, the assassin figure that appeared behind, whose identity was difficult to discern, was instantly and without chance struck by dozens of dragon spears. Then, like a fragile air cannon, it turned into a wisp of smoke with a "pop" and disappeared without a trace.
It was indeed an illusion!
However realistic the illusion may be, even if it can fool Baresi's [ Eye of God ], it will have nowhere to hide under such a sharp attack.
The shattering of the illusion foreshadows the impending death of the subject.
The knights and priests of the Church had no doubt about this.
But what happened next completely overturned their understanding of the word 'agile'.
Under the indiscriminate barrage of the dense, storm-like ' Holy Power Dragon Spears,' the assassin, who had been left with no choice but to close his eyes and await death, suddenly began to run. His running speed was neither fast nor slow, but possessed a strange rhythm and cadence, like a casual dance, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right. Some of his movements even seemed ridiculous, but it was precisely these ridiculous movements that Avoid the barrage of silver dragon spears time and time again without missing a beat.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The enormous dragon spear, gleaming with silver flames, surged with immense Holy Power and overwhelming pressure, relentlessly piercing towards the assassin. Under the deliberate control of the ethereal Baresi, the dragon spear increasingly covered the assassin's location.
One after another, dragon spears flew past the assassin's shoulders, waist, abdomen, legs, back, scalp, and other parts of his body with lightning speed.
Every time, the knights and Church watching the battle thought the assassin would surely be stabbed, but each time the assassin would dodge the Flaming Dragon Spear from an unimaginable angle and in an inconceivable way, escaping unscathed from the embrace of death.
Everyone's heart involuntarily jumped into their throats.
Second update.
