The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 95 I'll Count to Three

"The eldest prince of the Shaq Kingdom?"

He looked at the empty top of the sand dune.

An Kai mumbled.

He was constantly paying attention to the feedback from his [Meditation], trying to find the source of some malicious intent.

He did not notice any malice, but he caught a trace of a strange emotion.

It seemed to be... Respect?

"Where did this lunatic come from? Respect the enemy?"

This scene reminded him of his encounter with Sally Buklin.

He recalled the [Summon] he had obtained from Sally Buklin.

Even the princess of a dukedom who was in trouble could provide a Level-less Spell. As the Crown Prince of a kingdom, it would not be a problem for him to provide eight to ten Level-less Spells!

At this moment.

The top of the sand dune about a hundred meters to the left of where An Kai had just attacked...

A figure suddenly appeared.

Was he the one who provided An Kai with reverence?

Before An Kai could find out what was going on with that guy, Mason, the Stage 5 Assassin, had already arrived beside An Kai.

He held the dark dagger in his hand, his eyes calm and expressionless. It was as if killing An Kai was nothing to him.

After the battle between An Kai and the traitors, Mason had a rough estimate of An Kai's strength.

Stage 4 Rank 5, and he was also a mage.

Of course, this wasn't provided by the damn detector but by his rich experience.

It was common knowledge that mages had very weak bodies.

As a stage 5 assassin, he was able to defeat a weak mage.

Even if An Kai was a stage 5 mage, Mason was confident that he could cut his throat with one strike!

Mason held the dagger in his hand and slashed at An Kai's neck. With his speed, it would only take half a second for the dagger to cut An Kai's throat!

As the only Stage 5 assassin in the Kingdom of Shaq, Mason had done this countless times.

Even when he was about to slit his throat, his emotions did not fluctuate.

He raised his arm and aimed the dagger at An Kai's neck. In Mason's eyes, An Kai's gaze was still locked on Wayne, who was at the top of the sand dune.

"Ha!

"I'll kill you and take the Mage Tower, and then I'll be able to bring His Highness out of the desert!"

The one and a half years of living in the desert had tortured Mason mentally.

He felt like he was surrounded by evil people. Even though he was a stage 5 assassin, he still felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Mason thought about many things.

"No!

"Why am I thinking about so many things?!

He suddenly came back to his senses. He did not know when he had been surrounded by tiny layers of frozen ice.

This caused his speed to drop drastically, and the power of this kill strike was also reduced by about 10% by the ice.

Sensing this scene, Mason did not retreat. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards An Kai's neck. His figure instantly broke through the ice layer within a two-and-a-half-meter radius.

He was still half a meter away from An Kai's neck. With his speed, he would be done in an instant.

Thump!

The dagger collided with the armour on An Kai's neck, making a dull sound.

At this point, it had been exactly one second since Mason appeared beside An Kai and launched an attack.

In less than half a second, the armour on his neck was destroyed by Mason.

However, the power of Mason's attack was reduced by 20%.

Although the power was weakened, An Kai's neck was already exposed in front of him. How could he stop?

Just as Mason thought that victory was in his grasp, another layer of ice and the protective layer of [Armor] appeared.

He blocked the dagger in Mason's hand.

Two seconds had passed since Mason had launched his attack.

After spending two seconds, he still hadn't dealt with the target, which made Mason worried.

However, looking at An Kai's neck that was so close to him, Mason chose to continue attacking!

His power was weakened by another 20%, and the two layers of protection disappeared.

"Let's see how you're going to resist this time!"

Mason thought that he was really sure this time.

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in his ear, "Idiot."

Immediately after, Mason watched as a small black tower appeared on An Kai's neck!

Thump!

" Is he still a mage?!"

Mason was defeated.

The dagger could no longer move forward and was blocked in front of the small tower phantom.

He could not understand why a mage had more defensive means than those Heavy Armor Warriors!

"How dare you ambush me?"

At this moment, a disdainful voice sounded in Mason's ears, and a [Fireball] that emitted a scorching temperature came flying toward him!

Boom!

The fireball hit the ground.

When the dust settled, Mason's figure appeared at the side.

His figure was not damaged.

Just as he was about to retreat, he realized that his space was locked by a dark brown [Fireball].

He didn't have time to think and quickly dodged.

With his speed, it was basically impossible for An Kai to hit him.

But...

An Kai's goal wasn't to hit Mason.

When Malcolm attacked him, An Kai already knew that this guy's speed was far faster than his.

Moreover, his strength far exceeded his.

Fortunately, he had obtained [Razor's Mage Tower], which allowed him to block Mason's fatal attack after consuming 20% of his energy.

Therefore, An Kai, who had escaped with his life, immediately set his sights on the lunatic who revered his enemy at the top of the sand dune.

If he wasn't mistaken, that person was the Crown Prince of the Shaq Kingdom.

The moment he came out of seclusion, he was greeted by the First Prince. If he didn't return the favour, he would be ashamed of himself.

Therefore, An Kai used the dark brown [Fireball] with a diameter of five meters to seal the space around Mason while running towards Wayne.

'You're fast, right?

'If I can't hit you, I'll trap you and not let you leave this space.'

This was An Kai's plan.

The effect was also surprisingly good.

As a [Raider] job that pursued a one-hit kill, Mason's strength was greatly weakened after his failure. He wasn't good at fighting head-on.

Just like how a mage's body was weak, an assassin's body was also very weak.

In a sense, an assassin's body was not as strong as a mage's, so Mason did not want to be hit by An Kai's [Fireball].

There were still freaks like Razor and Ankai among the mages, but there were none among the assassins.

After Wayne appeared, the straight-line distance between him and An Kai was about 50 meters.

An Kai only needed a few breaths to cover this distance.

When he cast the seventh fireball to disrupt Mason, he caught Wayne, whose eyes were shining with a strange light.

After An Kai grabbed Wayne, An Kai was stunned for a moment because Wayne's expression was like a fan meeting his idol.

Enduring the discomfort, An Kai conjured an ice blade in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Mason came back to his senses and regretted it. It was too late to save Wayne.

He had tried earlier and couldn't break through An Kai's defense. An Kai only needed to use a little force to cut off Wayne's head.

Mason quickly chose to make up for it. He grabbed Nurnisius, who was still pretending to be invisible by the neck, ready to use it to threaten An kai.

Seeing this, An Kai smiled.

Without thinking, he placed the ice blade on Wayne's neck and shouted, "Trash! I'll count to three, and I'll strangle your bullsh * t master to death. You can do the same as me and strangle that guy to death!!"

Then, he tightened his grip on Wayne's neck and shouted,

"Three!"
