Woodgard stared at the guard coldly. He readied his daggers and dashed forward. {Dual Slash}! "Tsk, child's play." The guard sneered at Woodgard as he activated {Deflect} He spinned to the left and activated his swordsman skill. {Cut}! Woodgard was calmed as he jumped back, just enough to avoid the upcoming attack. He then activated his skill, spinning to the right and dashed to the back of the guard. {Backstab}! The guard was slightly shocked at Woodgard's quick reflex. He then hurriedly turned around and blocked with his sword. "CLANG!" The clash brought the situation to a stalemate. The guard and Woodgard backed away. "You got a good weapon. Seems like Your daggers can withstand my [Black Heart]. Even though, This sword was made with ebony ingots," the guard whistled in amusement, "Once you're dead, those daggers will be mine." Woodgard paid no heed to his blabber. He dashed forward as he activated {Stealth} and vanished as if he wasn't there earlier. "Your cheap tricks won't work on me!" The guard grinned, totally confident with his ability as he waited calmly. Just as Woodgard was about to launch his attack from the front, the guard had turned his gaze to Woodgard and slashed his sword. {Cut}! Woodgard was already prepared since his first attempt had failed earlier. He was aware that his opponent might have some special skill that could detect his {Stealth} skill. So he lightly parried the guard's attack with his right dagger, and then launched an attack using his left dagger. The guard was prepared, since he knew that his greatest disadvantage was his weapon. He only has a sword while his opponent was using dual daggers. He hurriedly jumped back and used a near cart full of ores from behind him as a stepping stone to jump as high as he could. "Since he's just an assassin, I will have an advantage against him with my sheer power. And I can prevent him from hiding again and launch a surprise attack. An assassin is known to be weak in an head-on battle." Thought the guard as he slashed his sword down. Woodgard was aware that he couldn't win against this guard head-on but it doesn't mean that he should give up. So, he crossed his dual daggers. "CLANG!" Wind gushed from the clash, vibrating their surroundings violently. Even the heavy carts which were full of ores were blown by the impact. Woodgard successfully repelled the guard's attack and fell back, keeping distance to take a quick breather. He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. If Ryth was here, he would definitely know that the skill Woodgard was using was {Sirene Mind}; a skill that you could acquire when your VIT points hits 50 points mark. Although Woodgard wasn't using any game system. Since this world was the same as 'The Throne', naturally, all of the skills were the same. "I only need to stall for time. As long as this guy is occupied here, he will not chase the others. I will wait for Tregnar's reinforcement to arrive before regrouping." Thought Woodgard. He opened his eyes, his gaze was calm yet terrifying at the same time. The guard felt the chill and he could tell that the atmosphere had changed. But he cleared his mind, using the same skill which was {Serene Mind} He was deep in thoughts before he finally spoke. "I see. So you are one of the dogs that coward's daughter, Princess Azalea, was seeking for help. The Dark Elves eh? It seems that tonight, there will be a big party and this is just the beginning. Seems like the princess is still alive after being chased for so long. She really has some good luck." "Wildan's wicked plan ends tonight, so is your life." "Whoa, scary," the guard sneered, "As if you could defeat my mentor, General Ranghyl. Not to mention, our Chief. You won't be able to get near him at all with General Ranghyl by his side." "That's our problem." Woodgard scoffed as he rushed forward to attack. -------------- A man, with a big sword on his back was running at full speed in the front, leading a large group of people in black. Although the man was bringing such a big sword on his back, he was still very fast compared to a normal person. The wind that went past his ears was loud enough to make a normal person feel dizzy, but the man seems oblivious to the wind pressure as he concentrated on running.  The man in the front was Tregnar. Followed by the reinforcement troops to break the prison. "Hope you guys are alright." Thought Tregnar in concern as he rushed forward. They had already scouted the route beforehand. So it was a smooth run towards the prison, without any hindrance. After some time, he was finally able to see what he was seeking for.  "I CAN SEE THE SIGNAL FROM HERE! WE ARE ALMOST THERE! O WARRIORS OF THE DARK ELVES, WE SHALL WIN THIS WAR!" "OOOH!" The group shouted in unison. ---------- Lolereia was standing on the top of the prison wall where she was giving instructions to her followers. "Hurry, open the gate!" "Yes!" They hurriedly opened the prison gate, and as soon as the gate was opened, many figures clad in black emerged from the darkness of the night. "I'm Tregnar from the dark elves tribe. I'm here as the reinforcement," the black figure in the front looked up to where Loreleia was. He then lowered his hood, "you must be Miss Loreleia, Princess Azalea's personal bodyguard." Loreleia had already been informed by Woodgard, so she knew about the dark elves. She nodded her head. "Yes. Let's go, we need to evacuate the children and women who can't fight first." "Yes, we will assist you. I need you to guide us, and I'll leave some of my men here to guard the gate." Loreleia gave a nod. She then jumped to the ground, where she felt a presence moving towards the gate at high speed. She stopped and looked over to see a man running towards her. "Miss Loreleia! Mr. Woodgard is engaged with an enemy right now! And it seems that the opponent is really skilled. Mr. Woodgard needs a reinforcement right now!" Tregnar who heard the report walked toward Loreleia and the man. "Alright, Flynt, I will go. You will guide me there!" Tregnar turned to his men and continued, "As for the rest of you, some of you will go and guard the gate while the rest of you should assist Miss Loreleia to evacuate the captives." "Understood sir!" Tregnar nodded to Loreleia and then said to Flynt, one of Woodgard's men. "Let's go!" ------- Woodgard was still on a stalemate. None of them had gained an advantage. Although Woodgard was supposed to be in the disadvantage , but he had filled that gap with his vast experience. Although the guard was strong, he lacked some battle experience. "CLANG!" Sparks were flying everywhere where the two daggers and the black sword clashed. "He is so persistent, I cannot drag this battle any longer, especially while I'm wielding [Black Heart]. I can feel myself losing my consciousness!" Thought the guard as uneasiness filled his thoughts,. and now he had a bad feeling about what was to come as the battle continued to dragged on. "STOP RESISTING, YOU D*MN DARK ELF!" He ran forward as he used {Stab} but, Woodgard was able to parry his attack and strike his daggers. He landed two slashes on the guard's left shoulder. It was the first time an attack landed in their battle. "YOU MANAGED TO HURT ME FIRST, HOW DARE YOU!" The guard was so enraged that he was literally shouting, his eyes were blood red as if blood could burst out at any moment. "AAAAAAAGHHH!!!!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. "He's totally lost his self control after wielding that black sword for too long. It seems like it is a cursed weapon." Thought Woodgard. Black aura burst out from the guard, it contained a very intense killing aura that could make ordinary people suffocated. "AAAARGGHH!!!"  The guard kept clutching his head and screaming, gritting his teeth. "I DON'T GIVE YOU THE PERMISSION, YET!" Woodgard stood there as he tried to withstand the black aura. The black aura was giving Woodgard a headache, his head feels hurt all of a sudden. It is an area debuff skill, called {Aura of Darkness}. In 'The Throne', this skill gives the opponent a headache, enough to stun them for 5 seconds. Tregnar and his men noticed the black aura, and they could feel the atmosphere had changed from the distance. They quickly rushed forward as fast as they could. "KAHAHAHA, FINALLY, I'M OUT!" The guard suddenly yelled and looked at Woodgard who was still affected by the stun debuff. "NOW I CAN KILL THIS DARK ELF, KAHAHA!" He moved forward in a flash, swinging his black sword towards Woodgard, aiming at his head. "CLANG!!" Flynt who was moving with Tregnar came first as he used his daggers to block the attack, but his daggers couldn't withstand [Black Heart] and shattered. Blood gushed from Flynt's hands, because he tried to block the attack using his hands after his daggers were shattered into pieces. "FLYNT!!!!" Tregnar shouted from afar. He gripped his huge swords really tight as he gritted his teeth.  "ARCHERS!"  The archers reacted quickly as they activated their skill, {Multi Shot} towards the guard. "WUSH WUSH!"  "CLANG CLANG!" "TSK, ANOTHER BOTHER, WHY DID YOU BLOCK ME!"  A figure dashed and jumped forward as he swung his sword in anger, "I WILL KILL YOU!" "BOOM!" It was Tregnar, but his attack wasn't able to land on the guard since he had already fallen back.  Woodgard staggered backward, covered in Flynt's blood. He hurriedly held the heavily injured man. "Master, you're back." Woodgard calmly patted Flynt on the shoulder. "Thank you. You can leave the rest to me and the others." "Yes… you have to win…" then he lost his consciousness. Woodgard turned his gaze to Tregnar's men and shouted, "HURRY, MEDIC!" The swordsmen with the second job as cleric ran and hurriedly moved Flynt to a safe place. Woodgard turned toward Tregnar, "I'm sorry, I had to stall this man in order for the mission to succeed. If only I knew earlier that it is a cursed weapon, I would have been more cautious. But just when I realized, it was already too late." "No, it was my fault for not coming earlier. We should finish this bastard now." Woodgard taking in deep breath, his grip on his daggers tightened. "For Flynt." "Yeah." The guard was smiling from ear to ear as he licked [Black Heart] that was soaked with Flynt's blood. He said sinisterly. "KAHAHA TASTE JUST RIGHT, NOT BAD!" "We will kill you." Said Woodgard as killing intent flashed from his eyes.
