Halt!

After such a fierce battle.

The already dilapidated walls on both sides of the alley were riddled with arrows, a complete mess.

If it weren’t for the remote location, with no one living there, it would have surely caused a large number of casualties.

Tonight was the festival celebration, and almost all the patrolling Round Table Knights and Dragon-Slaying Guards were in the bustling city center.

He couldn’t count on them for support.

Black and Jianye stood back to back, panting slightly.

Their formal wear was quite tattered.

Their exposed skin was covered with fine bloody marks.

The ribbon tying Jianye’s hair had also been cut by the wind from an arrow, leaving her long hair in disarray.

After that last wave of battle.

Even with the two of them working together and their coordination being quite good.

In the face of an absolute difference in strength, their hopes of victory were still slim.

Black was now certain.

The archer’s level was definitely above 70, an Over-Tier powerhouse.

Strangely, his aura would sometimes be strong and sometimes weak.

Fluctuating between the peak of Top-Tier and Over-Tier.

However, his strength was still a notch above the black dragon from the Hordier.

Only then could he have suppressed him and Jianye so miserably the entire time.

Just then.

The black-clothed archer no longer concealed his figure.

And he no longer held back.

He raised the longbow in his hand, the bowstring drawn to a full moon.

A terrifying spiritual power frantically gathered on his bowstring.

It condensed into a point of incomparably deep black light!

Seeing this, both Black and Jianye sucked in a breath of cold air.

‘Five-Star Consecutive Shot.’

‘An Over-Tier Oracle!’

They had barely managed to block the Four-Star Consecutive Shot just now with great difficulty.

And that was merely the archer’s Top-Tier Oracle.

Far inferior to the Five-Star Consecutive Shot.

The fifth arrow of this oracle had enough power to topple cities and move mountains.

It was not something the two of them could withstand.

‘Could it be… I have to use that?’

Black fumbled with the storage ring on his hand, his brow furrowed.

The War God’s Scroll gifted by the headmaster was inside.

On the other side.

Jianye’s eyes also flickered indecisively.

In her ring.

Was an S-rank defensive item awarded by the system.

This was a trump card she had been reluctant to use.

But under the current circumstances, she had to consider using it.

Just as both of them were about to use their final resorts.

“Voom!”

The archer released the bowstring!

The first black arrow, with a piercing whistle, shot towards the two of them.

Its power was indeed far greater than the first arrow of the Four-Star Consecutive Shot!

Black and Jianye’s eyes hardened, and they each tightened their grip on their weapons.

However, a sudden change occurred.

The black arrow, halfway through its flight, was as if it had hit an invisible wall.

“Crack!”

With a soft sound, the arrow inexplicably broke in two.

And fell to the ground.

This sudden, unexpected situation left the two, who had been on high alert, stunned.

It also made the black-clothed archer’s movements stiffen.

The gazes of all three focused on the arrow that had broken in two.

For a moment, they were all a bit bewildered.

Immediately after, a round of applause, tinged with a bit of admiration.

Came from a dark corner behind Black and Jianye.

Then, a gentle male voice sounded.

“Not bad, not bad.”

“A Level 40 pirate and a Level 45 little sorcerer can actually last this long under the hands of an Over-Tier archer, even forcing him to use the Five-Star Consecutive Shot.”

“Truly, heroes emerge from the young.”

Black and Jianye were greatly shaken.

They spun around to look at the darkness.

‘There’s someone else?!’

They hadn’t sensed any presence at all before.

The assassin archer’s face paled. It seemed he had instantly understood something.

Without hesitation, his bowstring sang again, and a second black arrow shot towards the corner where the voice had come from.

“Swoosh!”

The arrow disappeared into the darkness.

There was no expected scream. It was like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing without a sound.

Just as Black, Jianye, and the archer’s nerves were stretched to their limit.

A figure slowly strode out of the darkness.

It was a man in a pure white robe. He was quite handsome, with a faint smile playing on his lips, his demeanor elegant and calm.

But beneath that smiling expression was a hidden, inscrutable sense of danger.

His slender fingers were toying with something.

That thing was the second black arrow that had just been shot at him.

Black looked at this white-robed man and felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar.

But for a moment, he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.

Just then, the archer spoke, his voice filled with fear.

“Five-star Dragon-Slaying Guard Yanar! You… how are you here?!”

Hearing the name “Five-star Dragon-Slaying Guard Yanar,” Black instantly reacted.

He remembered!

The Dragon-Slaying Guard currently only had three five-star level powerhouses.

Their strength was second only to Noa and Pascal.

These three were all at the peak of Over-Tier!

And Yanar was one of them.

He looked at the other’s chest and, sure enough, saw a badge pinned there.

On it were five shining stars.

In addition, this person had another special identity in the game “Dragon’s Temptation.”

He was the last male protagonist to appear, one of Jianye’s harem members.

But compared to the others, Yanar was exceptionally normal and ordinary.

However, his popularity among female players was not low; he was known as the male protagonist with the most “husband material.”

With this, Black had now met all the male protagonists from the game.

At this moment, the same question arose in the minds of Black, Jianye, and even the archer.

Why was this unfathomable five-star Dragon-Slaying Guard here?

Yanar casually tossed the black arrow aside like trash.

He looked at the assassin with a smile, his tone as relaxed as if he were making small talk.

“You bullied the person our master values most. Of course, I have to come out and settle the score with you.”

‘The person our master values most? Who?’

‘Him or Jianye?’

Black was baffled by these words.

He subconsciously glanced at Jianye beside him and found that she also had a bewildered look on her face.

‘This title…’

‘Surely it’s not referring to me?’

Hearing this, the archer gritted his teeth, his face extremely grim.

He knew he was in trouble.

Facing a five-star Dragon-Slaying Guard whose strength far surpassed his own.

The possibility of killing Black under his nose was minuscule.

But the consequences of failing the mission were equally severe. He could only fight to the death!

A look of determination flashed in the archer’s eyes. He wasted no more words.

The bowstring vibrated, and the third black arrow shot towards Yanar first.

Immediately after, the spiritual power in his body burned frantically, and the fourth black arrow followed closely behind.

The two arrows, one after the other, with a destructive black light, shot straight at Yanar!

Seeing the other party still dare to attack so brazenly after he had shown himself, a faint trace of ridicule flashed in Yanar’s eyes.

He raised his eyelids slightly and faintly uttered a single word.

“Halt.”

As the word was spoken, the law followed.

The two menacing black arrows, less than three feet from Yanar, instantly froze.

They were completely still in the air!

The black spiritual power coiling around the arrows churned, but they could not advance an inch.
