Chapter 453 Escape
"... left?"
Nohier in the tunnel slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head in confusion.
Ever since his sixth sense gave him a warning, Nohier had been in a 15-minute standoff with the enemy in the dark in this tunnel. During this period of standoff, the sense of danger had been like a roaring radar, constantly chirping around him.
The enemy in the dark must be the evil thoughts, which could bring him such a strong sense of crisis. In order to deal with the attack of the evil thoughts that might be launched at any time, Nohier even completely abandoned the mundane vision, focusing only on the body's instinct for crisis and constantly deepening the connection with the beast spirit power in his body.
In order to deal with the most dangerous attack of the evil thoughts, Nohier had already used all his skills, but from the beginning, the needle-like sense of crisis actually receded like the tide, and the occurrence of such a thing only represented a possibility.
"The evil thoughts... actually retreated."
Noshier in the tunnel closed his eyes again, trying to capture even a little sense of crisis through his extraordinary perception ability, but the fact is that the feeling has completely disappeared.
Noshier believes in his senses. This sixth sense in the dark is genuine. It is the body's instinctive reaction to predators and dangerous environments. It is the sharp intuition that this body has trained through thousands of trials and tribulations. Coupled with the increase in the magic level, the final judgment is made by combining the two, so his feeling is definitely not wrong, but that means that the evil thoughts actually retreated?
"...It can't be because you don't have the confidence to beat me, so you retreat, right?"
Noshier said to himself in a joking tone, but when he saw Catheric being roasted by the predator on the side, and thought of the 15-minute confrontation, Noshier's expression gradually became strange.
"...I don't think it should be that bad... Forget it, no matter what the reason, since everyone has left, there is no need for me to stay any longer. Come on, kitten, let's continue on the road. This time you run slower. I'm a little worried that the guy will wait for me at a certain intersection ahead."
After confirming that the danger had really retreated, Noshier set out on the return journey again. As for the other side...
In the dark and deep tunnel, an invisible and intangible transparent object was retreating to the Moonrise Tower on the surface at the fastest speed he could achieve!
This transparent object was naturally the evil thought himself. If someone could see through his invisible face at this moment, they would find that his already hideous and terrifying dragon head was already so angry that it could be called twisted! The strong jaws bit together tightly, and the fine and sharp teeth began to ooze blood!
These characteristics are enough to prove how strong the anger in the evil thought's heart was at this time! But what happened to make him so angry?
‘I… I actually ran away. I actually used such a cowardly way to face the enemy I chose! But that damn hell bastard, that damn bastard! How could he… be so strong! ’
Yes, this is the ultimate reason why Xie Nian was so angry, because he retreated, no, it should be more accurate to say… he ran away,… because he had no confidence in defeating Noshir.
This matter seemed very ridiculous and unbelievable to Xie Nian, who was the son of killing, the pure-blooded heir of Baal, and had the form of a killer. But no matter how unimaginable it was, this was the judgment made by Xie Nian himself under the circumstances at that time.
There were many reasons that supported him to make this judgment, including Catheric Som, who had no power to fight back and was stripped of all his equipment, the ridiculously large mechanical beast made of steel, and Noshir, who would be able to detect in advance and make a perfect response posture no matter what action he wanted to take, as long as he wanted to attack Noshir.
In the final analysis, the last point is the most important reason for Xie Nian to admit that he is no match for Noshier and make this inference.
As an assassin who relies on perfect stealth skills and superb ambush methods to kill with one strike, facing an opponent who can detect danger before launching an attack, and at the same time, make a perfect response in advance at that moment, and can directly injure or even kill the assassin himself with just a random counterattack, no matter from what aspect, it is really too exaggerated for him.
Every time! Every time! As long as he raised the dagger in his hand, that guy would close his eyes and shift his face to his position, just like the invisibility state of his advanced invisibility technique was completely invalid, and when he wanted to bite the bullet and try to attack before he could react, the pair of iron fists that brought him a fatal threat would instantly take an attacking posture, as if to welcome him to fall into a trap!
How could there be a guy in this world with such a keen sense? This sentence, this thought, flashed back and forth countless times in Xie Nian's mind during the 15-minute confrontation.
During the 15-minute confrontation, Xie Nian did not know how many directions he changed in the dark and how many attack angles he tried, but as long as he approached that range, no matter how much effort he made, how much he used the venue environment, or even used the power of his own holy blood to transform himself into a harmless animal.
But even so! As long as he comes within a 30-foot radius of that guy, the shadow of death will still instantly envelope Xie Nian's whole body! Let Xie Nian realize in an instant that even though he cannot show the posture of a giant, under normal circumstances, that guy is still an out-and-out monster!
After realizing this, Xie Nian also gave up the idea of biting the bullet and continuing the assassination, but... although this decision was made out of pure rationality, for Xie Nian, this decision itself was One thing has been shown.
That is, during the 15-minute confrontation, Xie Nian himself, as the active assassin, became the miserable clown who could not withstand the pressure and chose to retreat first...
Just thinking about this kind of shame is enough to twist Xie Nian's already twisted heart into a ball. The pride of being the son of a god makes him unable to forgive himself for making this decision!
‘It won’t end like this, this is far from the end. ’
In the shadow, Xie Nian stopped his retreat, lifted his invisibility, and stared deeply at the red fire behind him with his scarlet eyes.
‘…Nohir. ’
