Chapter 25: Shadow Stealth

The pitch-black short blade and the thunder spear clashed again.

Xavier's eyes were filled with anger, and he thrust out the spear violently and fiercely. His fighting spirit burst out purple thunder, which not only blocked Enzo's chance to attack, but also forced him to retreat continuously, forcing him to switch from attack to defense.

"Hmph! Is that all you can do?"

Xavier sneered and kept moving forward.

"Let's see how long you can hide!"

The spear thrust suddenly came like a storm, and within a few breaths, it almost forced Enzo to retreat. The surrounding environment gradually narrowed, and there were thick trees on both sides. For a while, Enzo seemed to have no way to escape.

At this time, Xavier's eyes flickered, as if he had seized the opportunity.

"Wind and Thunder Stab!" With a low roar, he thrust out the spear brazenly.

This thrust was like thunder, and the speed reached Xavier's peak. The prompt of the chip in his mind just sounded, and in the next second, a cold light had already approached Enzo's chest, as if it would instantly penetrate him.

"No!" Not far away, O'Quinn roared with wide eyes.

The battles in the previous few rounds had already shocked O'Quinn. He did not expect that Enzo, with only the body of a knight, could fight against Xavier, a great knight, although he was eventually forced to death by Xavier.

The Wind and Thunder Thorn is the killer move that Rex taught Xavier!

When Xavier was still a knight, he used this secret technique to kill three knights of the same level. Now that he has advanced to a great knight, the power of this Wind and Thunder Thorn has increased several times, and the speed is as fast as thunder.

Seeing that the spear was about to penetrate his chest, Enzo remained calm, and even raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if everything was under control.

"Shadow Stealth." He chanted the spell softly, and Enzo turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"What!?" Xavier was shocked.

And the next moment, he suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt a chill on his back. With the experience of hundreds of battles, he reacted decisively and rushed forward. Then he felt a gust of cold wind on his back, followed by a painful feeling.

Rolling up from the ground, Xavier immediately stroked his back, and his palm was immediately stained with blood.

"You actually mastered witchcraft!?" Xavier's eyes were full of shock, looking at the blood on his hands in disbelief.

"Are you surprised?" Enzo raised the corner of his lips with a sneer.

Being forced into a dead end just now was just Enzo's plan. He knew the combat power of his knights. Even with the computing function of the chip, it would be difficult to defeat Xavier, so he planned to use witchcraft to kill him from the beginning.

The witch in Wolf Tail Town used the curse of resentment and almost killed O'Quinn.

Then Enzo, who mastered the shadow stealth, had a chance to kill Xavier when he was caught off guard!

Although Xavier dodged the attack from behind instinctively, the short blade still left a deep scar on his back. It might not be fatal to the knight, but it became a heavy burden for Xavier, who had already consumed a lot of fighting spirit in the life-and-death battle with O'Quinn.

"I really underestimated you!" Xavier gritted his teeth and looked at Enzo as if he was facing a great enemy.

Enzo said nothing and raised the short blade silently.

"Shadow Stealth."

As if blending into the darkness, Enzo's body dissipated like black mist, and the whole person seemed to turn into a shadow, rushing towards Xavier.

After launching the witchcraft shadow stealth, Enzo entered a special state, and seemed to be able to switch between the illusory shadow and the entity at will, and the speed was greatly improved. Almost in an instant, he appeared behind Xavier and swung the short blade to cut!

"Ugh!" With a scream of pain, Xavier's shoulder was injured by the short blade, but he turned around decisively and stabbed out with a gun.

Swish! The spear pierced through the shadow, but failed to cause substantial damage to Enzo.

Enzo, who entered the stealth state again, poked his upper body out of the ground like a ghost, and slashed Xavier with the black short blade, leaving a blood mark on his calf in an instant, and then disappeared again before he could react.

"Ah!!!" With a roar, Xavier stabbed the ground with his spear.

But Enzo, who turned into a shadow, was not a physical entity. After the spear pierced the ground, it was like piercing the sea water. It was useless. Instead, it consumed Xavier's fighting spirit in vain, making him weaker.

"Damn bastard" Xavier suddenly felt a little panic in his heart. He couldn't deal with Enzo's weird witchcraft, and the wounds on his body kept bleeding, which made him, who was originally sure of victory, have a thought of escaping.

"We must leave here!"

Enzo, who turned into a shadow, appeared like a ghost at any time. Xavier turned decisively and ran wildly towards the distance, but before he could run a few steps, Enzo appeared again and swung the short blade to cut sharply.

Ding! The knife was blocked by the spear.

But then, Enzo swung the knife again at another angle, heading straight for Xavier's throat. The black short blade was like flowing water in the dim environment, instantly cutting his neck and spurting out warm blood.

Xavier's face changed wildly, his body kept retreating, and he covered his neck tightly.

Blood flowed from the wound, but with the terrifying physical fitness of the great knight, Xavier did not die immediately. Instead, he stared at Enzo with his red eyes, growled in his throat like a beast, suddenly raised the spear, and then threw it out with all his strength!

"Shadow Stealth!"

Thunder was wrapped around the spear, and the speed was extremely fast. Enzo immediately turned into a shadow to avoid the attack. The next moment, he appeared in front of Xavier like a ghost, and the black short blade directly pierced his heart and stirred violently.

"It's over." Enzo said in a light voice.

Xavier raised his hand tremblingly, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make any sound. His eyes quickly became dim, his legs softened and he knelt down, and then his body fell heavily to the ground.

"Hu——" Enzo exhaled slowly, his face pale.

The battle just now seemed easy, but in fact, using shadow stealth many times was also a big burden for Enzo. His magic power was almost exhausted. If Xavier hadn't experienced the previous battle, then if he persisted, it would not be certain who would die.

After a short recovery, Enzo raised his head again.

The battle in the Ice Punishment Forest was coming to an end after Xavier's death. Almost all the warriors of Kaiyuan City were killed, and there were only a few black-clad men belonging to the Iron Scythe Family left. Enzo swung his short blade to deal with them neatly, and then came to O'Quinn's side.

"You did a good job!" O'Quinn raised his head, his eyes full of relief and sighs.

"Let me help you up first." Enzo helped O'Quinn up, then simply treated his wounds, and said, "It's not safe here, I'll take you back to Kaiyuan City first and stabilize the situation there!"
