Chapter 1859 1859: Earth Escape - Heart Severing Technique

Just as everyone was puzzled about what Darknorth Fisher was planning to do, he flicked his dagger and made a provocative gesture towards Wolf.

The intention was obvious, clearly saying, "Come on, let's face off head-on; I don't need to sneak around!"

"Whoa!!"

Seeing this scene, the audience's emotions were instantly stirred.

"Fk!"

Wolf was momentarily stunned by Darknorth Fisher's actions, feeling every cell in his body tremble.

Arrogant! What does arrogance mean? This is it!

Stealth is one of the most crucial skills for an assassin, and this assassin in front of him was actually giving up stealth to confront him directly, which clearly demonstrated his audacity and disregard for Wolf.

Wolf had been fighting professionally since he was a teenager and was quite a notable figure in the scene; he had won and lost, but no one had ever been this arrogant in front of him.

Not to mention that Wolf already had a bad temper; at this moment, even someone with a good temperament would likely be unable to contain themselves.

Wolf positioned himself at the edge of the arena to guard against Darknorth Fisher sneaking up on him, and now that Darknorth Fisher had given up his stealth, Wolf certainly wouldn't let him off easy.

"Die!"

Wolf shouted furiously, leaned forward, and charged straight at Darknorth Fisher.

Darknorth Fisher, of course, wouldn't just sit back and wait; he activated his speed skill and darted to the side, leaving behind a residual shadow.

However, at that moment, Wolf suddenly canceled his skill and executed a thrust slash, instantly closing the distance to Darknorth Fisher, grabbing the sword's hilt and swinging from left to right.

*Tornado Slash, activate!*

The *Tornado Slash* is a 360-degree AOE skill with no blind spots. Darknorth Fisher was unable to dodge in time and was caught in the attack.

*Bang!*

However, just as Wolf's *Tornado Slash* struck Darknorth Fisher, he suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke.

"Shadow Clone, huh?"

Seeing Darknorth Fisher dispersed, Wolf was not flustered.

Once *Tornado Slash* was initiated, it couldn't be stopped unless he canceled the skill himself; whether the target was in front or behind him, anyone within the skill's range would take damage.

The stealth time of the shadow clone was at most one second, while the duration of the *Tornado Slash* was a full five seconds. Under these circumstances, Wolf certainly wouldn't fear Darknorth Fisher's shadow clone.

After all, this was in the arena, and an assassin without stealth couldn't hide.

But soon, Wolf became a bit confused; logically, Darknorth Fisher should reappear quickly after vanishing, yet almost the entirety of Wolf's *Tornado Slash* was used up, and he still hadn't spotted Darknorth Fisher.

Not only was Wolf unable to see Darknorth Fisher on the stage, but even the audience lost sight of him.

"???"

"What's going on? Is there a system bug? Where did that guy go?"

"No way, is there really such a bug?"

To ensure viewing quality, the audience had a god-like perspective, and even in stealth, they could see the phantom of the assassin. Darknorth Fisher suddenly disappearing from the arena was understandable as a system bug.

*Puff!*

Just as everyone was looking around the arena for Darknorth Fisher, suddenly, an arm reached out from directly below Wolf, swinging wildly and tightly grabbing his ankle.

"!!"

Being grabbed by the ankle startled Wolf, causing him to instinctively look down.

At the same time, another arm emerged from the ground holding a dagger, which slashed across Wolf's ankle, creating a spray of blood.

*Earth Escape - Heart Severing Technique: Muscle Severing!*

"Ouch!"

Wolf felt his foot go numb as one of his legs lost feeling, and a new buff appeared on his head.

*Severed Muscle: Movement speed decreased by 60%, lasts for 30 seconds.*

"What the hell is this skill? Earth Escape? So overpowered!"

Indeed, Earth Escape was one of the most overpowered skills during the internal testing phase, rivaling Spring Halo's summoning skill.

Many masters had suffered from this move, and even Wang Yu had found it troublesome; it was not embarrassing for Wolf to be caught by Earth Escape.

After slowing Wolf down, Darknorth Fisher leaped into the air, appearing behind him.

For experts, movement speed is undoubtedly the most crucial attribute in PVP.

At this moment, Wolf was slowed by 60%, and his movement speed had drastically decreased. Although he realized someone was behind him, turning around was an impossible feat.

*Thud!*

Before Wolf could turn around, Darknorth Fisher raised his dagger and smashed the hilt into the back of Wolf's head, instantly stunning him.

*Throat Slash!*

*Backstab!*

*Instant Death Kill!*

...

Darknorth Fisher executed a series of combos without a hint of hesitation, landing all attacks on Wolf's back before he could recover from the stun.

The burst damage of assassins is only slightly lower than that of mages among all classes; once caught in a combo, even tank classes would lose half their health.

Wolf was merely a weapon Warrior, with defenses that couldn't compare to a tank. Now, in a critically wounded state, he couldn't withstand Darknorth Fisher's explosive skill combo and ultimate attack.

In fact, Wolf had already reacted when Darknorth Fisher appeared behind him, but after being slowed by 60%, he couldn't muster the strength to retaliate.

Thus, Wolf helplessly watched his health bar empty, turning into a white light and appearing back in his team.

In the third round, the Crowed Squad emerged victorious.

"Awesome! Awesome!"

Instantly, the audience erupted into deafening cheers.

It must be said that while the Earth Escape technique may lack visual appeal, the tension and excitement brought by an assassination were still incredibly strong.

Just imagine, when the opponent is looking around for you, suddenly a hand reaches up from underground; that feeling is exhilarating just to think about.

Of course, players with a masochistic tendency could also imagine how thrilling it would be if a hand suddenly reached up from the ground while they were looking around.

Darknorth Fisher's counterattack with Earth Escape not only showcased the essence of assassination but also reignited hope among the audience.

At this moment, voices of relief echoed from the audience.

"Good thing I haven't torn my ticket! I hit the jackpot, hit the jackpot!"

"Yeah, yeah, if you have a ticket, make sure to vote for Iron Bull..."

...

However, in contrast to everyone else's excitement, Darknorth Fisher's expression was particularly serious.

Because Darknorth Fisher knew that the next battle wouldn't be as simple as the last one; the reason he could easily take down Wolf was mainly due to the unexpected nature of Earth Escape.

Now that he had prematurely revealed his trump card, his upcoming opponents would surely be on guard, making it much more dependent on luck to win in this situation.
