Chapter 314 The True Master
Seeing Eric land silently, he was still 20 yards away from RogueVortex.
A series of healing spells fell on RogueVortex.
RogueVortex was one of the top ten experts on the Silvervale City honor ranking. He was a top-tier MT in the entire Silvervale City. Although he was only level 21, his health was over 3700, not much less than Cola. Ordinary physical damage classes like Assassin, Berserker, Swordsman, and Ranger found it very difficult to kill the high-health, high-defense RogueVortex, especially with a large number of healers behind him.
Moreover, in front of RogueVortex stood another expert, Darius Shadowthorn.
Orchid was very puzzled by Eric's foolish action.
"Let me take you on!"
Darius Shadowthorn looked at the approaching Eric and simultaneously raised his greatsword to strike. The greatsword was enormous, and Darius Shadowthorn wielded it skillfully, blocking Eric's path with a single strike.
At this moment, the melee members of the Darkstar Guild also charged at Eric, intending to chop him into pieces.
Meanwhile, the various magic classes in the distance began casting spells. If Darius Shadowthorn could hold Eric for just a moment, Eric would face hundreds of magical bombardments. Even Guardian Knight Cola would perish, let alone a Swordsman like Eric.
But Eric seemed oblivious, still charging forward without any intention of stopping.
Just as Darius Shadowthorn was about to strike, the greatsword was about to land on Eric.
At the critical moment, Eric suddenly vanished with Vanishing Strike, causing Darius Shadowthorn's greatsword to swing through empty air, stirring up a gust of wind.
The Elementalists, Sorcerers, and Summoners in the distance, all targeting Eric, lost their target and interrupted their spells.
"Where is he?"
Darius Shadowthorn found no trace of Eric in front of him and looked around. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him. Turning his head, he saw Eric had appeared behind RogueVortex like a ghost, silent and unnoticed. If not for Darius Shadowthorn's keen intuition, he wouldn't have detected Eric at all.
Eric used Silent Stride to get behind RogueVortex and immediately activated Absolute Time. Within a 50-yard radius centered on him, no one could use skills or items. He then swung the Abyssal Blade, using Abyssal Bind.
RogueVortex felt a cold wind behind him and only realized someone was there when Eric swung the Abyssal Blade. He quickly tried to leap forward to dodge the attack and attempted to activate Blessing of Protection for safety.
However, Eric was too fast. Absolute Time and Abyssal Bind were used almost simultaneously, preventing RogueVortex from activating Blessing of Protection. He was anxious and was soon bound by nine dark chains, unable to move.
The healers in the distance could only support RogueVortex mentally.
"Damn it." Seeing only Eric beside RogueVortex, Darius Shadowthorn realized he had been tricked. Eric had lured him away from RogueVortex, making him feel like he was being toyed with for the first time in his life.
Now, with no one protecting RogueVortex and him being controlled, he had no chance to fight back. If Darius Shadowthorn were beside RogueVortex, he could have protected him even if he were controlled. But now, they were eight or nine yards apart.
Under normal circumstances, he could have used the Charge forth skill he had saved, but now he couldn't use any skills. He could only watch helplessly.
However, covering eight or nine yards would only take a second or two. If RogueVortex could hold on for a second or two, Darius Shadowthorn was confident he could stop Eric and prevent him from harming RogueVortex further.
RogueVortex also considered this. Facing Eric's Abyssal Blade and Infernal Shadeblade, he showed a look of defiance.
He was a Guardian Knight with 3700 health points. It was impossible to kill him in one or two seconds.
But reality cruelly shattered RogueVortex's confidence.
Eric used Slash, dealing over 1500 damage to the defense-reduced RogueVortex.
This strike stripped RogueVortex of all his confidence, filling him with fear. He tried to break free from Abyssal Bind, but no matter how hard he struggled, the cold chains didn't budge.
For the first time, RogueVortex felt powerless. Despite having thousands of subordinates and experts protecting him, Eric treated them as nothing, slashing him at will without any ability to resist.
Eric raised the Abyssal Blade, and the blade, surrounded by blue arcs of electricity, fell on RogueVortex, with three bolts of lightning piercing his body.
-984, -1370, -1892.
After Thunderbolt, RogueVortex lay on the ground.
Eric killed RogueVortex with just two strikes, taking less than a second. This astonishing attack power shocked all the members of the Darkstar Guild.
Even Darius Shadowthorn was stunned. He hadn't expected RogueVortex to die so easily.
"Everyone, get him! Don't let him escape." Darius Shadowthorn felt unprecedented humiliation and roared angrily.
Eric looked around, his cold gaze making everyone stop. They didn't dare meet Eric's eyes, as he seemed like a king reigning over the world, with no one daring to challenge him.
Facing the furious Darius Shadowthorn, Eric extended his index finger, pointed at Darius Shadowthorn, then shook his finger and smiled lightly.
Such provocation made Darius Shadowthorn furious, and he charged with his sword.
Eric also lightly swung the Abyssal Blade and walked forward, as if facing an ant's challenge with ease.
The two swords clashed, sparks flying.
Darius Shadowthorn took several steps back to steady himself, while Eric didn't move an inch, clearly showing the difference in their strength.
Eric didn't give any chance, charging forward and slashing continuously.
One strike... two strikes... three strikes.
Eric's attacks were as fierce as a storm.
Darius Shadowthorn desperately blocked and dodged, but eventually, he couldn't hold on. After more than ten strikes, he was hit in the side and sent flying.
But it wasn't over. Eric suddenly exerted force with his foot, creating a deep pit and flying towards Darius Shadowthorn like a cannonball.
In mid-air, Darius Shadowthorn couldn't leverage himself, unable to move his body.
As Eric passed by Darius Shadowthorn, he swung several times, each strike hitting vital points, dealing over 600 damage each. In the blink of an eye, he killed Darius Shadowthorn.
The members of the Darkstar Guild were stunned.
All they saw was Eric flying past Darius Shadowthorn, silver sword light flashing. With Darius Shadowthorn's death, Eric disappeared into the treetops, vanishing from their sight after a few jumps.
Only then did the Darkstar Guild members react, chasing after Eric's Vanishing Strike location.
"Orchid, should we keep chasing?" Sutharos asked Orchid cautiously.
Sutharos knew how strong Darius Shadowthorn was, but even he died at Eric's hands. Moreover, Eric didn't use any skills, relying solely on technique to kill, something Sutharos couldn't have imagined before.
Now, Sutharos understood what a true expert was.
Orchid shook her head and sighed softly, "Let's not chase. With Black Flame's strength, even if we catch up, what can we do? Besides, we can't match his speed. Let's save our energy."
First, Eric killed RogueVortex among thousands, then killed an expert like Darius Shadowthorn while escaping. The Darkstar Guild's dignity was utterly lost.
Even if the Darkstar Guild later wiped out Aether Wing's main force, it wouldn't sound good when spread.
This time, the Darkstar Guild was truly defeated.
