The Hell Hound is very famous.

  Its reputation is not based on individual strength, but rather its pack hunting characteristics and the various tricks of perfect wanderers.

  In the face of a sudden attack, Ellison's men responded in their own way.

  Dark Guardian instinctively releases 【Despairing Dark Aura】, this evil aura generally causes all hostile creatures within 3 meters to have their saving throws reduced by -2 morale penalty.

  In front of the Hell Hound, this skill became a joke. The Hell Hounds with iron will completely ignored this skill. On the contrary, this skill instead provoked their ferocity.

  One head pounced forward and entwined itself around a Dark Knight, while the other head sprang up in an instant, almost tearing off the shield on that knight's left arm.

  The old thief tried to counterattack, throwing out 10 flying knives in one breath. Although he aimed at the shadow where the Hell Hound jumped out, they all fell short. The Hell Hounds' jumping ability was beyond imagination. If placed in the Golden City, they had the elasticity to jump up to three floors with a single leap.

  The incredible bounciness and agility make these polar hunters a nightmare for Eriol. They can even run at high speed on an almost vertical cliff face that is at a 90-degree angle to the ground.

  One after another divine technique was released from Elrond's hands, yet still unable to change their fate of being besieged.

  Mastiffs dash to the left and right, jumping up and down, almost any angle can be their attacking direction. That high-speed rush is gorgeous and deadly, a moment of inattention will result in injury or even death.

  Eirlys' advanced profession is War Priest, which allows him to wear heavy armor and hold a shield.

  A suit of Mythril Fullplate armor, enough to dazzle the eyes of most canine companions, enveloped Eryndor Thorne, leaving only his eyes exposed. The armor also had a plethora of protective spells etched onto it, such as [Enhanced Resistance] and [Deflect Arrows], which could be used multiple times per day.

  It's worth mentioning that Elric also crazily obtained a permanent shield with 【Lightness Technique】 and 【Brutal Force Technique】, the feeling of holding this shield in his hand is almost like holding a cake.

  The Hell Hound's attack was abnormally fierce, but the threat to Elrond and the Dark Guards who wore heavy armor was not great.

  The Tibetan Mastiff is accustomed to swift battles and uses its powerful jaws to resolve issues. Once it gets into a prolonged battle, all sorts of problems will arise.

  With extremely high agility, the old thief is untouchable. A pair of curved knives dance in a tight, impenetrable pattern, and with Katrik's mastery of intuitive evasion, they are also unable to do anything about it.

  So the breakthrough for the Hell Hound is on that mysterious technician's body.

  Rogues excel at dealing sneak attacks from behind and setting up ambushes, but they can also adapt to a variety of situations. However, their spellcasting and melee capabilities are derived from other classes, giving rogues versatility when facing humanoid targets.

  Unfortunately, when facing high-speed canine targets, everything he learned seemed to have been thrown into the ditch.

  One of the main skills of a rogue is tumbling...

  How much faster can a person's rolling action be compared to an agile canine?

  The tragedy of the trickster became inevitable.

  He came down with several more wounds on his arms and calves.

  Sometimes instinct kills people, and that's exactly what happened to him. In his panic, he actually activated stealth and jumped into a shadow.

  Playing hide and seek in front of the Hell Hounds with keen sense of smell and True Sight? You must be tired of living. The hounds easily detected the hidden rogue, dragged him out, and tore him to pieces in front of Elrison.

  "It seems that eating human flesh occasionally doesn't feel bad either!"

  "Flesh filled with fear is the most delicious."

  The hellhounds chatted among themselves in a common language, about one-third of the hellhounds participated in this rather pleasant dismemberment feast for them. Although everyone's sense of taste temporarily disappeared, it did not hinder Elrison and his party from being visually shocked.

  The intestines that were pulled out several meters away are shocking. The bone fragments and meat scraps crushed by the large dog's jaws are all over the place.

  Eryndor finally determined that even if the other party was an intelligent creature, there was no possibility of coexistence between them. These guys would come back again and again, even if they were driven away, it would never end.

  "Now is the time!"

  In the next instant, his tone switched to a mesmerizing and pleasant male voice with an otherworldly flavor, its strange rhythm piercing through space and directly into the minds of the Tibetan Mastiffs: "I declare in the name of Xiriek that your arch-nemesis has arrived."

  The god of murder Xaren, currently has the following divine domains: Murder, Conspiracy, Deception, Lies.

  Eryndor Thorne said something completely unremarkable, but under the blessing of a daily limited-use divine technique, it became Shriek's unique divine technique 【True Lie】.

  It was Ellison's lie, but in the minds of the Mastiffs, another vivid picture had formed. The Sky Lions, their sworn enemies who had once inflicted severe injuries on them, suddenly surrounded them for no reason. One second they were the hunters, and the next, they became the prey.

  The mastiffs were in a panic and no longer had the luxury of speaking; they let out instinctual canine yelps.

  Just as the Mastiffs were unable to extricate themselves from their illusions, Ellison's skilled players launched a simultaneous attack, killing the disoriented Mastiffs in various ways.

  Multiple mastiffs are being killed every second.

  Just as they were about to annihilate the enemy, and the joy of victory was filling their hearts, Raven made his move once again.

  A rope suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention.

  Eryndor instinctively activated the protective spell on his armor, and a dark guardian recently charged towards Eryndor's side, attempting to block this sneak attack with his body and shield.

  However, Jianyi's attack was still a single strike and then retreat.

  The scream occurred behind Allison.

  That was another Dark Knight. At that time, he inserted his long sword into the heart of a hellhound and was about to rip its heart out with one twist. Elricson was attracted by the sneak attack and drew all his remaining attention.

  In a moment of unawareness, he created a slight gap between his helmet and solid shoulder armor due to the twisting of his head.

  Levin suddenly emerged from the shadow of Dark Knight and appeared behind him.

  Eyes full of calmness, mouth corners hanging with a faint cruel smile, a flash of cold light!

  Dagger!

  Obsidian Strike!

  A silent and soundless black light suddenly appeared, so unexpectedly, like a black lightning bolt, pushing the crowd that was already in trouble into an even deeper abyss.

  The brilliance of this strike was so profound that everyone who witnessed it felt a sense of knowing yet being powerless to resist, either involuntarily closing their eyes in dread of what was about to happen next or being petrified by the unparalleled sharpness of this lightning-fast strike, unable to move.

  At least three pairs of eyes witnessed a black dagger thrust into the dark guard's neck artery, through his throat trachea.

  Under the sharpness and piercing properties of Kuro no Yaiba, the Dark Knight's +10 STR bonus is rendered useless.

  Then with Raven's wrist spinning at high speed, the sharp blade tip turned a corner here, crushing the Dark Guardian's throat and almost cutting off half of his neck.

  "Haaaaait! No——" Elrison let out an inhuman scream as he watched his long-time guardian being killed. Still under the effect of his previous spell, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as Raven lightly kicked off Haite's armor, made a beautiful flip in mid-air, and disappeared into another shadowy gap in the blink of an eye.

  Snapping back to reality, Ellison frantically cast Healing Magic on Hait's head.

  What a pity, it's all meaningless!

  Treatment is for treating living people. At the moment he was stabbed by Raven, Hait was already a dead man.

  The Hell Hound was killed cleanly, and the remaining people gathered around, silently standing beside Elrond.

  "Wasn't that Raven just a Black Iron rank? Who told me what just happened earlier? Those were the standard skills of an Assassin, Shadow Jump and Must-Hit Shadow, right?" Elison's tone couldn't hide his anger.

  The first to speak was his most loyal guardian, and under the dark helmet of the Dark Guardian, the voice that came out sounded dull: "Wanderers who are professionals can usually hide their breath, but at the moment they make a move, their breath is impossible to deceive. What just happened was indeed the aura of Black Iron."

  "How could that be..."

  "The old thief chimed in, 'This is the blessing of the Shadow Plane. Since the shadow energy here is too dense, the energy consumption of all our skills that require shadow energy has been greatly reduced. Perhaps it was Raven himself who just grasped the shadow skill.'"

  Eryndor's face turned white in an instant: "Didn't you say he hadn't officially resonated yet? Didn't he have to have the Shadow Pearl for perfect resonance?"

  "The Old Master Thief remained silent for a long time before answering, 'If I'm not mistaken, until just now when the assassination was successful, he still hadn't performed resonance. He's borrowing power from the Shadow Plane.'"

  "Ah?!"

  Catrik interjected: "Master... although I don't want to admit it either, I acknowledge Vander's point of view."

  "What?"

  "There are people in this world called geniuses," said Catrike and shut up.

  Levin is a genius. Otherwise, no one can explain how an underage half-elf could survive Eryndor Thorne's repeated attempts to kill him.

  The more you fight, the stronger you become!

  No one had dared admit it before, so they attributed Raven's survival to luck.

  Perhaps they have realized it, but no one dares to face this fact!

  The surroundings fell silent once again!

  Who would have thought that there are people in this world who can make progress at such a rapid pace!

  A few days ago he was still a little kid who couldn't even be considered a professional.

  A few days later, he was able to kill a Silver Rank Dark Guard known for his thick skin.

  Whether he was playing with strategy or borrowing a sharp tool, taking advantage of sneak attacks to harm him. Anyway, the fact that he killed strong enemies in a row is placed in front of everyone in Elison.

  Finally, one of the twelve high priests under the infamous Murder God Xerik, who would later be known as the Left Hand of God, Elrison *Venomous Stinger*, squeezed out these words: "I underestimated him."
