Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 709 The Blade of Time (2-in-1)

Roy turned his gaze to the person he had noticed was acting strangely.

The other party was a female adventurer dressed in tight-fitting clothes, who looked like a ranger.

She was plain-looking, with an average figure and appearance; she was the kind of young woman you would forget at first glance.

But for some reason, after taking a closer look, I felt a sense of unease.

This is no longer just ordinary concern, but a natural alertness that arises from the powerful mental strength of a high-level wizard.

"You're not an ordinary adventurer. Who are you, and why are you mixed in with them?"

Roy asked the woman who was deliberately pretending to be ordinary.

Something unusual must be going on; he didn't believe that his men could capture the other party so easily.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her in surprise.

It wasn't just Roy's men, but also the woman's companions.

"I didn't expect that even though I disguised myself so well, you still saw through me at a glance..."

How did you manage to do that?

The woman spoke calmly, then looked up to meet Roy's gaze.

"Just an intuition."

Of course, Roy wouldn't tell the other person that you're well disguised, but the equipment you're wearing gives you away.

He guessed that it might contain some magical artifacts that could alter or disguise itself.

Just as he was thinking this, a burst of light emanated from the other person, and their appearance and physique began to undergo a complete transformation.

A moment later, she appeared before everyone as a slender, masked female assassin, dressed in a black bodysuit, wielding a fist sword, and wearing arm armor.

"There are assassins!"

Aug roared in shock and anger.

I wanted to rush up immediately.

As a result, the female assassin threw a smoke bomb at her feet, and with a bang, she disappeared from the spot.

Did she escape using Flash or Invisibility?

No, perhaps they didn't leave the spot, but instead hid using methods like stealth in the shadows!

Seeing this, Roy's mind raced.

But during this time, his hair grew wildly behind him, and dark shadows loomed all around.

The "Apache Ban" has already been launched, sealing off all sides.

In an instant, the Nightmare Entanglement was activated, and the entire hall was enveloped in a nightmare space formed by intertwined hair.

Under the pitch-black night sky, a golden crescent moon hung high, its bright light making Roy, who sat at the head of the hall, stand out conspicuously.

The enormous moon was behind him, constantly radiating the barrier power that restricted the void in all directions.

The female assassin remained hidden and did not appear immediately.

She seemed to sense that something was wrong with her surroundings. The sealing power created by the "Apache Prohibition" and the soul suppression transformed by the "Net of All Souls" confined her to this limited area.

It's very difficult to escape.

As an assassin, one seeks an opportunity to kill with a single blow and then escapes.

This is what they excel at.

Trapped in a cage, fighting like a cornered beast, it can only end in a miserable defeat and death.

Therefore, she has not shown up.

Roy also vaguely sensed this, casting his indifferent gaze in all directions.

Behind it, several lifelike eyeballs appeared, which were actually a new type of detection device disguised as a bionic structure.

The Eye of the Sentry!

Wizard's Eye!

The Magic Eye!

Meanwhile, at the Unigorin terminal.

And Zophiel, the God Scout who recently received an upgrade and whose reconnaissance capabilities have been greatly enhanced, has also been promoted.

"over there!"

Suddenly, in the void.

Long, jet-black hair appeared.

Roy's long hair, like a shadow in a nightmare, swirled wildly towards one corner.

Just then, a person suddenly appeared directly in front of them.

The female assassin suddenly appeared out of thin air, her fist and sword thrusting straight at his body.

This doesn't seem like the method a high-level assassin would use, because even a level one assassin knows that some wizards have the ability to corrupt hearts or modify the body in other ways.

It's difficult to harm the soul unless the brain is targeted.

Therefore, targeting the heart, throat, and other vital organs is a relatively low-level approach that can only cause some trouble for the opponent, but is not necessarily fatal.

But as the saying goes, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes.

As assassins' methods of killing became more sophisticated, they realized that focusing on the target area had become meaningless.

What they should use is no longer ordinary martial arts, but powerful killing methods with the ability to implode or directly tear the entire body apart.

With skillful martial arts, even a mere slash can tear through the body, inflicting devastating damage.

There are also various kinds of toxins formed from magic that can be used against enemies.

Even more extreme, some infuse their own spirit and will into the sword's edge, forming a "soul thorn."

This can directly harm the spirit and spirit, causing fatal damage!
Therefore, Roy could judge whether the other party was a novice or an assassination master just by looking at their methods.

But he still went forward without fear.

boom!
In an instant, the fist and sword pierced his body.

But it produced a clear, crisp sound, like the clinking of gold and jade.

The enchanted diamond withstood the attack.

Even the blades formed from the opponent's magic and the thorns of their spirit passed right through his body without causing any damage!

Then, to the female assassin's astonishment, Roy punched her squarely in the chest.

"Magic Energy... Bursting Fist!"

Because of the immense energy contained within, he only had time to throw seven punches in a second before the female assassin was able to adjust her posture and quickly retreat.

"you……"

After landing more than ten meters away, she looked at Roy with surprise.

Roy said calmly, "You are already dead."

Then everyone saw the female assassin's body tremble violently in a strange way.

It felt as if some enormous energy was exploding inside my body.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
After a series of muffled thuds, the female assassin's body went limp and collapsed on the spot.

At the same time, the black hair stood straight up, the threads intertwining to form golden chains.

A figure was pulled up from the mud pile. As the hair retracted into the hair, the dark curtain disappeared, and the moonlight also vanished.

Everything before my eyes seemed to have returned to normal.

At this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and surrounded the adventurer team.

"It really has nothing to do with us, it has nothing to do with us!"

"That Marwan used us!"

The adventurer party panicked and tried to deny any involvement. Roy ignored their pleas, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to seize them, take them away, and interrogate them again.

"grown ups……"

Aug was about to say something when Roy waved his hand, interrupting him.

It wasn't that Roy had any issues with Aug and the others, but rather that he suddenly felt something was off about his body, which had just been pierced by the female assassin.

Is this some kind of potential ongoing harm?

No, this is a "mark"!

******
Marking magic is typically used to deal with powerful enemies or to hunt down targets.

Its essence is actually a kind of "secret mark", which can also be called a "mark".

Roy had previously obtained a fragment of divine essence related to the Archmage Mareshar, giving him some knowledge of this field.

He tried to expel it with his spiritual power, but failed immediately. Instead, he vaguely sensed that the other party was interacting with the surrounding environment and taking advantage of the world's will's rejection of him to send some information to a distant place.

The opponent's methods were very clever; they even managed to calculate the help from the world's will!
"Is this some kind of positioning anchor point?"

"Oh no! This assassin is just a pawn; the real killer is yet to come!"

But just then, Roy's gaze fell upon the mangled body left behind by the female assassin, and he was once again filled with horror.

Because he suddenly saw a dazzling golden radiance amidst the few streaks of purple light.

"That's... the aura of a legendary item!"
It was deliberately hidden; I didn't even notice it just now!

Roy stepped forward and searched for the source of the golden light.

Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, the information about this thing quickly appeared.

It actually came from the fist-sword that had attacked him.

"The Blade of Time of Doloros (Level 4)..."

A relic from the legendary assassin Dolovnos, a demigod artifact possessing the power of time, known as the 'Blade of Time'...

Powers: 42560/50000
Special Effect 1: "Time Reversal" (Activating, 1% progress) allows you to specify a time anchor point at any time and start a countdown. After the countdown ends, everything connected to this item will return to the state of the anchor point, including the ownership and location of this "Blade of Time"...

Special Effect 2: "Quick Settlement" has the characteristic of quickly settling continuous poison damage, concentrating the slow poison effect into an instant burst. Other energy attacks are similar.

Special Effect 3: "Time Assassin" imbues attacks with time energy, and sets a timed point for the energy to explode. Multiple energy explosion points can be set simultaneously and detonated at the same time to amplify the power…

Special Effect 4: Automatically repairs equipment durability. The more severe the damage, the faster the repair, always aiming to maintain the equipment's durability at the point it was just forged.

All four special effects rely on "Power" to operate. Once the "Power" is exhausted, it must wait for automatic recharging (or consume treasures such as "Sands of Time," as well as Time Domain items and Divine Power Crystals of the corresponding level)...

Roy's expression changed, and after quickly understanding the special effects of this thing, he was suddenly startled.

Because, under his watchful eye, the power of this semi-divine artifact was steadily diminishing.

"Activation in progress..."

That means it has already reached 2%!

"This is... Time Reversal is in effect!"

The female assassin who attacked just now didn't die; she utilized the special effect of this semi-divine artifact!

But after a brief moment of surprise, he gave a cold laugh.

Did you think you could ambush me with some broken, half-divine weapon?
"Somebody come!"

"Lord Roy..."

"Start digging three feet into the ground along this area and build a prison!"
Using the latest technology, the entire fossilized flesh and blood of Osseni was sealed up!

Use all available spatial restrictions to prevent dimensional jumps, teleportations, and teleportations.

"Send over there the Bone Demon army, along with the undead creatures and mechanical golems skilled at dealing with assassins!"

Roy roughly estimated the rate at which powers decreased and the pattern of progress increases.

The calculation shows that her time travel occurred one hour later!

A quick and simple construction should be sufficient for its purpose!

As a result, the Bone Demon army was quickly mobilized, and numerous skeleton mages joined forces to cast "Bone Wall" and "Bone Prison".

Other troops carried buckets of "Osse mud," poured it into a nearby pit, and mixed it. Soon, it was like concrete, and they built it up.

The entire hall was first covered with paving material, starting from the floor, and then tightly wrapped.

……

Just as Roy noticed something was wrong with the object and began to take action.

Central Star Region, the home planet of Ellen.

Several figures who had been meditating with their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes in a prepared secret room.

"Marwan has made his move..."

She successfully left the mark on Roy!

"According to the plan, use the markers to teleport immediately!"

A moment later, projections of their respective avatars emerged from each of the individuals.

The insignia of the imperial nobility signified their respective status.

Archmage of the Reines family, Archmage of the Viken family...

And the other three archmages stationed on the planet Ellen's home planet...

A total of five archmages each created a secondary projection avatar, which quickly stepped into a portal that appeared out of thin air and underwent "interdimensional teleportation".

Meanwhile, the equipment Roy had seen, the semi-divine artifact "Blade of Time," was also quietly taking effect.

"This thing is difficult to destroy, and it seems there's no way to undo it by controlling it..."

Because it is still in the state of being triggered by time reversal, it needs to complete the closed loop.

Roy did not attempt to extract the female assassin's soul sealed within her hair, because he did not want to communicate with her for the time being and reveal information.

Compared to that, Roy was more worried about the threat posed by the mark itself.

While estimating the time, he ordered someone to inscribe a magic array in another location.

"The Bone Demon King... Osteron..."

Answer my call!

"Roy, what do you want from me now?"

"I have a plan to make money that I'd like to discuss with you. Why don't you come over here first?"

Osteron: "I have a feeling you're up to no good..."

However, based on previous contact and understanding, especially the 36 level-three gems that Roy had generously given as collateral, Osteron still crossed the summoning circle and came from Potan.

Roy immediately shut down the teleportation array, then his hair flew up as he cast the "Apache Prohibition"!
Angel maid Alice, along with three fragmented clones, appeared simultaneously, surrounding the Bone Demon King who had entered the fray alone.

Osteron: "?!"

Roy earnestly called out, "Old Ang, come here, I need to ask you for a favor."

"Enemies might come looking for trouble later, can you help me?"

Osteron's eyes flickered with eerie fire: "Sometimes I really don't know whether I am the devil, or you guys from the material plane are the devil!"

Is this how you ask for favors?

"To help or not to help? Give us an answer."

Roy didn't have time to waste words with him.

Osteron gritted his teeth: "Help!"

A moment later, the two who had been waiting in ambush were greeted by five figures.

After sensing the soul aura emanating from the other party, Roy and Osteron instantly realized that it was a projection avatar of a level three mage!
