Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 5: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Marvin moved carefully.
Ever since he came into this church, every move he made has been done to perfection.
However, he was still a little worried. After all, the ranger's stealth was not as good as that of a thief, and there was a 40% penalty in the city. If the divine magician's perception was higher, it would be a tough battle if the sneak attack failed.
Ma Wen is not afraid of tough battles. He has the advantage in fighting in such a small space.
What he was afraid of was the black-robed man's magic. Although the Plague Messenger did not have many magics, none of them was easy to deal with.
The kind of curse that isn't fatal but will drastically weaken your attributes can be very troublesome even if it's temporary.
One-hit kill is still best.
Marvin slowed down and stayed where he was.
Ten steps away was the young man pinned to the ground. If the Plague Messenger took a few more steps forward, he would be within Marvin's attack range.
It’s safer to turn on hiding!
Marvin controlled his body and started hiding.
His body was pressed against a row of empty seats, hunched over like a cat, but ready to explode at any time.
This posture is very tiring, but it can ensure the concealment of your attack to the greatest extent.
The Plaguebringer approaches.
His eyes were always on that young man!
For any religious sect, non-believers pretending to be believers are intolerable. Merciful gods may forgive them, but the God of Plague has never been a merciful god!
He must establish his authority.
The silk in his hand was a glimmering item given to him by the high priest, called the Silk of Pain. If this silk is tied to the boy, he will experience all the pain in the world in a short period of time!
Eventually, he will do whatever it takes to kill himself—in front of the other believers.
He had witnessed this kind of cruel scene many times before, but this was the first time he had done it himself, so he was a little excited.
…
"One step away."
Marvin held the scimitar silently, his right foot ready to explode at any time!
Who knew that at this moment, the plague messenger suddenly stopped.
Because a figure suddenly appeared in the basement passage!
"You are late!" The Plague Messenger looked at the man with dissatisfaction.
Ma Wen's pupils shrank!
Damn, he actually stopped at this moment.
As long as the plague messenger takes one more step forward, Marvin will be able to take him away in one breath!
But it was this one step distance that made Marvin's situation very embarrassing. Once the divine magician reacted, it would be very troublesome.
"Shit, who on earth is that person?"
Ma Wen was angry and looked away.
The man was thin and walked very quickly. He seemed to have come from another passage in the basement.
He walked quickly to the Plague Messenger and said nonchalantly, "It's not too late. Those stupid knights are already on their way."
"Are you going to let these little believers of yours go?"
knight?
Ma Wen was stunned, but before he could react, he saw the man's face clearly!
Under the dim torchlight, the man's face was somewhat distorted, but Marvin remembered it very clearly.
"The road of enemies is narrow..."
Ma Wen smiled bitterly in his heart.
It turned out to be the killer from the Shadow Spider Society!
Hetan City is so big, and I actually met him three times in such a short time!
The first time was in Dead Silence Hill. For some unknown reason, the other party let me go but gave me a warning.
The second time was outside Miller's house. If Marvin hadn't cleverly tricked the other party, he might have fallen into his hands!
This time, it was at a ceremony of the followers of the God of Plague that I met him for the third time!
"Not good! This guy's perception is very high!"
"If he finds out..."
Ma Wen’s heart was pounding. He couldn’t even hide in the wild!
This killer is a thief's advanced class [Black Butcher]. He possesses very strong perception and agility, and his knife skills are also extremely fierce.
If he joins forces with the Plague Messenger, I might suffer a great loss this time!
But he didn't dare to move!
The effect of stealth is worse than hiding. If you don’t move, there is still a certain chance of hiding. Once you move, you will be discovered by the black butcher 99% of the time!
"How could it be such a coincidence!"
Marvin shook his head in his heart. He had already made all the preparations, even if it was a luxury to use the dragon's power again, but life was the most important.
…
"Don't worry, I've already designed it."
The Plague Messenger narrowed his eyes and said, "Except for two good seedlings with particularly pure faith, the rest, hmm..."
The Black Butcher naturally understood what he meant. The rest of the believers were all expendable.
He shrugged and took another step forward, as if he wanted to say something.
Who knew that at this moment, his shoulders suddenly shook!
This is a very subtle movement!
But Marvin was always watching him, and every move he made was within Marvin's calculation!
“Discovered!”
This was a knife-drawing action. Marvin had been hiding under a tree, watching this guy skin a brown bear alive, and he had some understanding of his knife skills.
There is no other way. Now that we have been discovered, we have no choice but to fight!
In an instant, Marvin's figure suddenly burst out from where he was and pounced on the plague bringer.
At the same time, the black butcher's body turned into a sharp shadow and rushed forward fiercely!
Crack!
The black butcher's knife chopped on the empty seats, chopping the chairs apart!
There was a hint of surprise on his face: "Huh?"
This sneaky guy could actually predict his attack.
It’s not that simple! ?
At this time, Marvin had already rushed in front of the Plague Messenger. The latter was slightly startled, but did not panic!
It was obvious that this guy was also an expert in combat.
Because the distance of that step left him enough space!
He didn't retreat, but a simple vortex of decay!
Marvin narrowed his eyes and chose to jump sideways helplessly. His feet landed lightly on the chair and then dodged the rotating gas!
[Rotten Vortex] is a first-level divine spell, a unique spell used by the sorcerers of the God of Plague. The effect is very significant. Any human skin that comes into contact with the Rotten Vortex will become ulcerated!
This kind of ulcer is not fatal, and people with strong constitutions can recover in two or three days.
But in a short period of time it will seriously affect Marvin's combat effectiveness!
He had to dodge this one!
However, by dodging this attack, the Plague Messenger was safer. The distance between the two sides was widened.
Marvin landed lightly on the other end.
"It's you? The Masked Twin Swordsman?!"
The Black Butcher shouted in surprise and joy!
He looked at Marvin with great excitement: "This is such a pleasant surprise."
"I still remember our last meeting. Today I will definitely chop you into minced meat... Oh no, remember that poor brown bear? You will end up like him!"
On the other side, the Plague Messenger was also staring at him eagerly.
"You actually wanted to sneak attack me? Who ordered you to do this?"
Marvin frowned.
With new and old grudges added together, we are in big trouble.
The two of them formed a siege, and it was difficult for Marvin to break out all at once.
Not to mention, these two guys are both second-level professionals, while Marvin is only a fifth-level ranger.
One-on-one, each of them is enough to give Marvin a hard time.
"Leave this guy to me!" the killer said sinisterly, "I have a grudge against him!"
The Plague Bringer frowned and said, "Quick victory, we may not have much time."
"Don't worry, since I've taken your money, I will definitely get your matter done. I, Black Jack, always keep my word!"
As soon as Black Jack finished speaking, his body rushed out like a cannonball!
What a fast speed!
Marvin could hardly keep up with his speed!
Bang!
He barely blocked it with his white scimitar!
As a result, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. Although the opponent's strength did not lead to a crushing victory, it was almost there!
Both of them use dual swords, but Black Jack's mastery of the scimitar is at least at the [Master] level!
And Marvin is only at the [Entry] level!
This kind of proficiency in weapons cannot be improved all at once, it can only be improved through long-term training. Although Marvin was also familiar with scimitars in his previous life, these experiences can only be reflected in the skills of using the knife, and there is no bonus in the control level!
You know, the master-level mastery of the scimitar is enough to crush the entry-level mastery!
Clank, clank!
Marvin struggled to block the opponent's fierce attack, rolling several times before he barely avoided being hurt by the opponent!
However, at this moment, the Plague Messenger suddenly stepped forward, as if he was about to take action!
"Oh no!" Marvin cried out.
The situation couldn't be more difficult!
