Return to Sender

The archer had already anticipated that Yanar had such a trick up his sleeve.

At the same time Yanar shouted “Halt,” he had already shot the final arrow of the Five-Star Consecutive Shot.

The strongest strike from an Over-Tier archer burning his own potential!

The target of this arrow was no longer Yanar, but Black.

The moment the fifth black arrow was released, the ruins in the entire alley trembled!

Wherever it passed, buildings collapsed, and a deep trench was torn into the ground.

To Black, the shadow of death brought by this arrow was exceptionally heavy!

“Hey, hey, don’t ignore me now.”

Yanar shook his head helplessly.

He gently flicked aside the third and fourth arrows that were frozen in the air.

At some point, a yellow piece of paper had appeared in his hand.

He tore the paper and spoke four words.

“Return to sender.”

An incredible scene occurred.

The black arrow, which was about to touch Black.

Was as if it had been forcefully twisted in direction by an invisible giant hand.

It made a sudden one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn in the air!

A complete U-turn!

And shot towards the archer himself!

This move was nothing short of miraculous, leaving both Black and Jianye stunned.

Yanar, feeling it wasn’t enough, casually added another word.

“Accelerate.”

“Voom!”

The speed of the reflected black arrow surged once again!

The black light around the arrow body burned like a flame, its momentum several times more terrifying than before. The assassin’s face turned green.

He had never expected Yanar’s reaction to be so fast.

His methods were even more bizarre and unpredictable.

To be able to forcefully reverse his strongest shot!

The Sage class was truly, as all other classes agreed, the most disgusting existence.

He didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment.

Driven by his survival instinct, he frantically drew his bowstring.

He fired five consecutive arrows.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The five arrows successively struck the reflected black arrow.

But it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

All were easily deflected.

It only dimmed the black arrow’s light slightly, its speed barely reduced.

The killer’s pupils constricted, a flash of pain in his eyes.

He tore up an Over-Tier defensive magic scroll!

“Voom!”

A magical shield, flowing with runic light, appeared, enveloping him.

Unfortunately, in the face of this enhanced fifth black arrow.

This shield lasted for less than three seconds before it shattered with a boom.

The arrow was already upon him!

The killer, with no way to dodge, let out a furious roar and held his longbow horizontally in front of him.

He desperately poured most of his spiritual power into it to block!

“Clang!”

Amidst a deafening explosion.

The black arrow slammed viciously into the body of the longbow!

Dazzling sparks flew wildly!

The killer was hit as if by a heavy blow, and a large mouthful of blood spewed out.

His entire body was sent flying by the terrifying force contained in the arrow.

He crashed through several abandoned walls behind him in succession, his aura weakened to the extreme.

This scene shocked both Black and Jianye.

The archer they could barely contend with even when they teamed up was so vulnerable in front of Yanar?!

With just one move, he had almost been completely disabled.

Yanar took a few steps forward.

His calm gaze looked towards the ruins.

His voice was unhurried.

“Come back with me to the Dragon-Slaying Guard headquarters.”

“Don’t make any more futile struggles. Your spiritual power is unstable, and your foundation is weak. You only barely broke through to Over-Tier by relying on potions. You’re no match for me.”

Hearing Yanar say this, Black finally understood.

No wonder he had always felt that this archer’s strength fluctuated, hovering between the peak of Top-Tier and Over-Tier.

So it turned out his realm was forcefully raised by drugs.

No wonder there was such a world of difference in strength between Yanar and this archer, despite both being Over-Tier.

In the ruins, the archer, upon hearing this, knew that today’s assassination mission had completely failed.

The most important thing now was to escape immediately.

Otherwise, once he was captured by Yanar and taken back to the Dragon-Slaying Guard headquarters.

It would be a fate worse than death!

The desire to survive trumped everything.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he struggled up from the ruins.

Ignoring his severe injuries, he burned his remaining spiritual power and activated the Over-Tier escape skill of the Archer class.

Shadow Stealth!

His figure instantly became blurry, and his speed soared.

He fled desperately into the darkness, attempting to escape.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Yanar’s eyes.

“Stubborn.”

He said in a low voice, and another piece of paper appeared in his hand.

The paper quickly turned to ash in a ghostly blue flame, and at the same time, he spoke.

“Draw a prison on the ground.”

As the word was spoken, the law followed.

With the killer as the center, the air in a five-meter radius became as thick as glue, and the light distorted.

The wildly fleeing archer felt his whole body tighten, as if he had fallen into an invisible swamp. His speed plummeted, and he struggled to move.

Visible white bars appeared from the void, rapidly closing in, about to completely seal him inside!

Seeing this, a look of despair flashed in the archer’s eyes.

He abruptly drank a strange red potion.

At the same time, he chanted some ancient, forbidden incantation.

His body shriveled at a visible rate.

But an extremely violent force erupted from within him!

“BOOM!”

A loud noise, a powerful shockwave of energy spread out, sending all the stone slabs on the ground flying.

Under this desperate, all-out blow, the white bars were forcefully blasted open.

The archer rushed out amidst the violent energy explosion.

The mask he wore to hide his identity also shattered in the explosion.

It fell to the ground, revealing his true face.

Yanar had been preparing to step forward and capture him.

But after seeing the other’s face, his movements paused.

The smile that had been on his face also froze.

A clear look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

“It’s actually…”

Then Yanar did something that Black couldn’t understand.

He gave up on pursuing the archer.

He watched with open eyes as the other party left.

The black-clothed archer glanced at Black with difficulty and, using his last bit of strength, staggered away and disappeared into the night.

Yanar stood in place, not making another move to intercept, nor did he give chase.

He just frowned slightly, looking in the direction the killer had disappeared.

He was lost in a brief thought, the expression on his face somewhat complex and inscrutable.

For a moment.

The night was deep, and the alley returned to a dead silence, leaving only a mess of bricks and stones.

Black and Jianye looked in the direction the black-clothed man had disappeared, both a little dazed.

They had seen it very clearly. With Yanar’s strength, he could have definitely kept that seriously injured archer there.

But after seeing the other’s face, this five-star Dragon-Slaying Guard chose to let him go.

This contrast was really hard to understand.

“Hoo.”

Yanar retracted his aura and put on that inscrutable, gentle smile again.

He walked slowly to Black’s side.

He stroked his chin, a trace of contemplation still in his eyes, and muttered to himself.

“As expected… just as the master predicted.”
