Chapter 162 Chapter 161-Shadow Blink Array, "Ash"! (1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones)
John, arms folded across his chest, watched the assassins' movements with great interest, offering no resistance.
After all, boldness is a virtue of the skilled; John was simply curious to see what kind of formation these top-tier assassins from AGHHO could muster.
After all, when John first joined the Godslayer game, his base class was an assassin.
In the other virtual games he played, he mostly played as an assassin.
So, he had a rather deep understanding of the class.
Assassins are known as ghosts in the darkness, with skills primarily serving for assassination and stealth.
This class walks an extreme path, possessing no area-of-effect (AOE) skills, and its attack abilities are primarily designed for extreme single-target damage.
Whether they are solo players or guild members, assassins typically prefer to operate alone.
They often struggle to cooperate with other classes, let alone coordinate with other assassins during a quest...
But, here were these six lone wolves, going against the norm to form a cooperative formation.
Seeing John so unguarded and unbothered by their formation, the assassins couldn't help but rejoice, accelerating their actions.
Soon enough, the formation took shape!
With a resonating hum, a hollow, dark cross of light suddenly appeared above John's head.
The cross expanded, one end stretching slowly, finally forming a sharp point.
John looked up. This wasn't a cross of light, but a massive dagger glowing with a dark aura.
Soon, the giant dagger solidified completely, with a faint ghostly light lingering at its edges, entirely looming over John's head.
The six top-tier assassins were panting heavily, having seemingly exhausted all their energy to form this formation.
With a sinister laugh, 88 pointed at John and gently swiped his finger through the air, the other assassins following suit.
The massive dark dagger in mid-air slowly rotated, from being horizontal to standing vertically, with its tip pointed directly at John.
[Shadow Blink Array (Team-based special talent): An assassin-exclusive skill, created by the legendary first assassin, Shadow, from the Godslayer continent. Since the creation of AGHHO by Shadow, this skill has become the secret exclusive to AGHHO members. Only those who join AGHHO and make sufficient contributions have the right to learn this skill. It requires five or more assassins to form the seal together to release the skill...]
[Effect: Once the Shadow Blink Array is completed, it can create a hunting field, accumulate energy in the shadows, and condense into a powerful energy weapon, causing a piercing effect on the enemy, with a 25% chance of direct kill...]
The space gradually darkened as if a thick shadow had descended.
An unforeseen gust of wind emerged, enveloping John in its midst and causing his tattered cape to flutter violently.
Suddenly, John's eyes narrowed and he swiftly sidestepped.
An energy dagger had silently formed in the air and was aimed directly at his throat.
Had John not reacted quickly, the energy dagger would have pierced through.
More energy daggers began to form within the storm, following the wind's direction, they rapidly pierced towards John's vital spots.
This time, John didn't make any evasive moves.
He stood there, seemingly ready to take the onslaught of energy daggers head-on.
Seeing this, 88 and the other assassins were overjoyed.
Their previous attacks had failed because John's speed was exceptional, and he had dodged every strike.
This led them to abandon stealth attacks, choosing instead a ranged formation for saturation attacks.
Now that John wasn't evading, they thought they had him right where they wanted.
But before the AGHHO assassins could laugh, they were dumbfounded by the scene before them.
A faint light flashed in John's eyes and a pale blue glow quietly emerged from within him.
It turned into a protective barrier, wrapping around his body.
[Seashield (Divine Talent): A gift from the God of the Ocean. Once released, it forms a constant-temperature field, immune to all fire attribute energy damage...]
Although the assassin class's attacks were not fire attribute, but dark attribute.
The Seashield had exceptional defensive capabilities.
It was more than enough to deal with these energy daggers...
"Ting, ting, dong, dong~"
The energy daggers, formed within the Shadow Blink Array, rushed towards John's body at the speed of lightning.
However, they were all stopped by the thin layer of the Seashield.
For a moment, sparks flew within the formation, creating a rather spectacular scene.
Each energy dagger that hit the Seashield eventually disintegrated.
88 and the other top assassins on the outside were all watching the eye of the formation intensely.
Their hearts were in their throats.
As more and more energy daggers struck John,
The dark elemental energy and water elemental energy within the Shadow Blink Array overflowed. The black and light blue mixed fog quickly filled the entire space, completely enveloping John.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The duration of the Shadow Blink Array finally came to an end.
The fog gradually dissipated, revealing John's proud figure.
The six top assassins from AGHHO fixed their gaze on John.
The next second, all the assassins' eyes revealed shock.
John, who had taken all the attacks of the Shadow Blink Array, was actually unharmed.
Even the clothes with base attributes on his body were undamaged.
"How... How is this possible?! You took all the attacks from the Shadow Blink Array, how come you're not injured at all?"
88's eyes widened, his voice full of disbelief.
John brushed the nonexistent dust off his clothes and smiled lightly, "What's so impossible about that? I told you before, your strength is too weak..."
"Now, it's my turn..." John lifted a hand, a faint light suddenly blossoming from his fingertips. "Abyssal Prison..."
In an instant, the space around them twisted and transformed, the light seemed to recede and the top-tier assassins were taken aback to find that they couldn't even hear each other speak.
[You have cast: Abyssal Prison]
[Abyssal Prison (Divine Skill): A gift from the Abyssal Prison Master. Upon casting, the user can lockdown a 1000-yard radius and modify the physical parameters within the space, controlling all fundamental elements except time and space...]
This was the third time that John had demonstrated the Abyssal Prison ability publicly.
Unfortunately, the assassins from AGHHO lacked the extensive knowledge of Fire Dragon Fias and didn't recognize the skill, nor did they understand its implications.
All they knew was that their worldview was being seriously challenged, as they could clearly sense all the dark energy elements in the air were sucked out in that moment.
No matter how they tried to activate their stealth skills, they couldn't blend into the shadows.
"Damn it, we're trapped in this space... That young man isn't human at all, he's a devil!" The despair and rage in the voice of the usually resilient AGHHO assassin underscored the torturous capabilities of the Abyssal Prison.
John strolled leisurely within the Abyssal Prison.
Here, he was the one and only deity, the master of all rules.
"Alright, I've had my fun and seen your strength, which was a massive letdown, to be honest. If you came to hunt me down, you should've prepared to be hunted down by me..."
John's smile was gentle and warm, but his eyes didn't hold a trace of amusement, only a frigid chill that seemed to stem from hell itself. He snapped his fingers.
All at once, the six assassins froze in place, their eyes wide with panic and their bodies completely motionless.
From the laws of nature itself, John had erased the assassins' mental control over their bodies.
The assassins' eyes still held a hint of vitality, their bodies, however, were gradually disintegrating in the chaotic elements of the Abyssal Prison.
They used their remaining mental control to beg John for mercy with their eyes.
Yet John seemingly turned a blind eye to their pleas and quietly watched the events unfold.
Moments later, the Abyssal Prison dissipated, the basic elements refilling the space.
However, the only ones left were John and the black clothes scattered across the ground, with six black masks that had fallen heavily, causing a pile of ashes...
John's gaze fell upon the six piles of ashes, and with a slight thought, six daggers floated out of the ashes towards him.
He casually threw a detection spell at them.
Hmm... Not bad attributes, worthy of being top-tier assassin class weapons.
Satisfied, John put the six daggers into his backpack, turned around, and walked away in style.
