Black Magic Forest.
Undeniably, The Terminator of Regrets may not be very old, but he is considered a seasoned player. He honed his skills in the previous game, Conquest, and has some understanding of the prominent figures in the Online Game world.
The Shadowblade, an assassination group that left its mark on The Terminator of Regrets, had its veterans announce their retirement a year ago. However, their apprentices all possess impressive skills themselves, making this encounter uncertain—whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class. is the sixth member of the new generation of the Shadow Assassin Guild, specializing in the assassin profession. From previous encounters, both The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan are certain that although Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class. wields a sword, he undoubtedly possesses hidden assassin-type abilities.
In an instant, battle was imminent...
Unlike Yi Tianchen and Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God, The Terminator of Regrets, Lin Yan, and Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class. all belong to assassin or similar professions. Their personalities are somewhat cold; when they meet face to face, there is little room for unnecessary chatter—if they don't see eye to eye, they will engage immediately.
In a two-on-one situation, if there is any advantage for The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan, it lies in their ability to coordinate. However, this requires a certain level of understanding between them. The battlefield changes in an instant; one small mistake or oversight could completely alter the outcome.
Not daring to take chances against Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class.'s advance, both The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan acted with extreme caution. Their movements and attacks were carefully synchronized to allow for cooperation. Additionally, as assassins are inherently fast and possess numerous speed-boosting skills, the demands on their execution were naturally high.
Skyward Sword Dance.
Long Sky Cross Sword.
Both skills were executed in succession but missed their target entirely. Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class. understood that The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan were targeting his blind spots. This realization left him feeling quite bitter; their similar professions meant they knew each other well.
"Split up..."
"Move left by three positions... Combine attacks!"
"Retreat and sidestep one position... then split again..."
Coordinating without deep mutual understanding can be effectively managed by having one person issue commands. At this moment, The Terminator of Regrets played this role, using continuous instructions to ensure their cooperation achieved its intended effect.
Faced with this situation, Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class. felt bitterly conflicted—unable to defend or attack effectively. Being from similar professions meant he was well aware of various offensive and defensive tactics. This back-and-forth exchange was indeed an extremely frustrating and helpless experience.
Strike.
Throat slit.
The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan launched another attack, one on the offense and the other providing support. However, Shadowblade, the Sixth of the New Generation of the Shadow Assassins, Master of the Assassin Class, saw through their tactics completely. Although The Terminator of Regrets and Lin Yan appeared to have clear roles, they were actually hiding lethal intentions, as in any special circumstance, their roles could easily be swapped.
"Just like that, he won't last much longer," The Terminator of Regrets said coldly, feinting twice before landing a Normal Attack that grazed Shadowblade's chest. At the same time, he retreated several steps, creating a distance of four or five body lengths, and said in a low voice, "Let's see you survive!"
"Isn't it a bit too early to celebrate?" Shadowblade scoffed, launching an attack aimed at Lin Yan's slightly weaker position. As long as he could break their coordination, even if he couldn't kill them immediately, he would at least gain a significant advantage and perhaps even an opportunity for a counterattack.
Compared to The Terminator of Regrets, Lin Yan was indeed weaker. But she was no fool; upon realizing Shadowblade's intentions, she remained calm instead of panicking. She spoke to her team, "His attention is entirely on me right now; let me be the bait this time."
Bait...
What does it mean to be bait? To put it formally, it refers to a situation where one person deliberately exposes themselves while surrounded by enemies to draw their attention away from others, creating a safe opportunity for retreat or attack. Undeniably, this deliberately exposed person is what we call bait.
In this context, Lin Yan's meaning was clear. She had noticed Shadowblade looking for an opening through her and decided to turn the tables by taking a significant risk to lure him in while The Terminator of Regrets would deliver a decisive blow at the right moment.
Upon hearing this, The Terminator of Regrets felt a tremor in his heart; his opinion of this girl instantly rose to one of admiration. Not only was she fearless in the face of danger, but she also unhesitatingly pushed herself into the spotlight—there was no denying her courage and boldness.
The battle continued, and within just under a minute, the situation reached its climax. Shadowblade relentlessly attacked and quickly broke through Lin Yan's defenses, successfully killing her. But at that moment, The Terminator of Regrets' dagger pierced into Shadowblade's neck.
Throat slit. A Critical Hit.

Two notifications appeared almost simultaneously in Yi Tianchen's and Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God's team channels. Coupled with Far Apart's remark, Yi Tianchen tightened his grip on Dragon's Roar as a golden light shimmered along its broad blade.
"Damn it!"
The staff swung, and the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God raised the Magic Shield, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he pointed at Yi Tianchen and declared, "This time, it’s either your death or mine!"
No more discussions of good and evil were needed. Yi Tianchen's expression darkened, and he launched his attack without hesitation. Far Apart sighed inwardly, thinking, "Now this is more like it," as he waved his staff, casting the Bravery skill buff upon Yi Tianchen.
"Fire Elemental! Gather in my hands and transform into purifying flames to punish the evil before me—Purifying Flame!"
An obscure incantation rose, and the tip of the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God's staff suddenly glowed with a brilliant firelight. Countless visible Fire Elementals surged from the void and rapidly converged at the staff's tip, forming a dazzling fireball three inches in diameter.
"Boom!"
The fireball flew swiftly, grazing past Yi Tianchen before crashing into a tree with an explosive sound. Unfazed, Yi Tianchen continued to soar upward, swinging his Dragon's Roar with great force, creating a striking arc of light that spanned two hundred seventy degrees.
The Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God couldn't help but gasp in awe; the overwhelming presence displayed by a melee class was indeed far beyond what a magic class could compare to. While contemplating this, he maneuvered several times in quick succession, using the trees to create a distance of five or six yards.
Nameless Inferno.
Another powerful fire-based magic skill was unleashed. Yi Tianchen jumped to the left, dodging while activating Savage Charge. His figure flickered as Dragon's Roar missed its target; crimson light splashed violently as it struck against the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God's Magic Shield.
Hell Combo.
Two strikes landed almost instantaneously. Although they failed to break the Magic Shield, they made the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God acutely aware of Yi Tianchen's formidable strength. The sensation was akin to mountains crumbling and earth splitting, clearly and shockingly resonating within him as the surface patterns of the Magic Shield trembled violently.
"How strong!"
A spontaneous exclamation escaped him as he used Flicker to create distance once more. The consequences of being too close to a melee class player were severe, especially when facing someone like Yi Tianchen with such terrifying destructive power.
"You can't escape!" Yi Tianchen declared coldly. With a wave of Unfolding, a black light descended from above, followed by two sounds of "pop," as two skeletal hands emerged from the ground and swiftly grasped the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God's legs, rendering him momentarily immobile.
Necromantic Binding.
In that moment, the Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God felt bitterly helpless. Such control skills were filled with frustration for anyone. Although being attacked would break the effect, for a mage, it was akin to stepping one foot into the gates of hell.
Meanwhile, Yi Tianchen soared through the air, the Dragon's Roar slicing through the atmosphere with a whistling sound. He executed a Blade Break Slash that came crashing down, instantly cracking the Magic Shield. Seizing the moment when Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God was freed from its restraints, Yi Tianchen's second sword strike fell sharply.
The shield shattered.
"Damn it!" Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God exclaimed in shock. The record of these strikes breaking the shield was officially inscribed by Yi Tianchen. Filled with anger, he immediately counterattacked, launching a fireball that exploded right in front of them. When they looked again, Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God had already created several yards of distance between them.
"I truly underestimated your strength! But unfortunately... Falling Leaves, now you will struggle for your fate..." Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God smiled faintly, waving his staff and forming a strange gesture. A lengthy and obscure Magic Spell began to rise instantly.
"Zizz... Whoosh..."
Lightning accompanied by flames erupted violently, as purple electric Magic Sprites and red Fire Elementals danced through the air. The two forces continuously converged, and Yi Tianchen saw that the sky above him had transformed into an ocean of electricity and fire, arcs of lightning flickering restlessly while flames clawed at the air like a ferocious beast.
"...Thunderfire Unforeseen!"
As the final character of the incantation was spoken, the entire spell was completed in an instant. Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God stood proudly at the periphery, his gaze filled with malice as he directed the thunder and fire in the sky towards Yi Tianchen, covering a ten-yard radius centered around him.
It came crashing down...
