Not a Master If he wasn't mistaken, he had indeed seen this person before!
He was none other than the personal assassin of All-Knowing. During the last time he accompanied Yi Tianchen to the System Tavern, Shadow Kill was their guide.
What surprised everyone was that Shadow Kill's appearance was merely a transaction between Yi Tianchen and All-Knowing... Just minutes before the First Auction was set to begin, Yi Tianchen decisively sought out All-Knowing, all for the sake of this very moment.
Of course, this was not the end goal; it was merely a means to provoke further action!
“Clang~”
Sparks flew as Shadow Kill launched his first move: a thrust!
In the eyes of many, an assassin should not attack so boldly; otherwise, it would contradict the profession's characteristics of stealth and surprise. However, it must be noted that both players standing on the field at this moment were of the same class: assassins.
Clearly, in a duel between two assassins, if they continued to follow the combat styles of other professions, the conclusion of this battle might not come until dawn, as their fighting patterns were too similar, and neither wanted to reveal their weaknesses too soon.
In response, The Terminator of Regrets executed a counter-block while simultaneously maneuvering around Shadow Kill in a small arc, raising his hand for a classic assassin move: a backstab!
“MISS!”
The striking notification flew up, instantly shocking the audience. A backstab from someone known as Southern Wilderness City's First Assassin, evaded effortlessly by an unknown player like Shadow Kill, was indeed surprising.
It was evident that this Shadow Kill was no ordinary player...
After skillfully dodging, Shadow Kill immediately followed up with a throat slash. However, this move exhibited some variation during execution, resembling a knight's sweeping attack, clearly aimed at preventing The Terminator of Regrets from closing in.
This sudden change in tactics could have caught an ordinary person off guard, leaving them unable to react in time and offering their neck without reservation. However, the opponent facing Shadow Kill was The Terminator of Regrets, a formidable Assassin Player with considerable combat experience.
“MISS!”
Another glaring indicator shot up. In such a swift and close-range battle, both sides displayed not only a profound understanding of the assassin profession but also a crucial accumulation of combat awareness that played a vital role.
As the fight escalated, the emotions of the audience were immediately stirred. They found themselves tensing and relaxing with each thrilling moment, completely forgetting about who they hoped would win or lose.
Ten minutes later...
An astonishing scene unfolded. The Terminator of Regrets, who had initially held the advantage, was turned around by a remarkably clever maneuver from Shadow Kill. A series of skills were unleashed, unexpectedly resulting in two Critical Hits, leaving The Terminator of Regrets with severely diminished health.
“It’s over; we’re going to lose!” Li Tielong exclaimed nervously.
In fact, everyone in Box 13, except for Yi Tianchen, began to feel the tension rise, including Liu Yuhan.
Ultimately, the outcome did not change due to their anxiety: The Terminator of Regrets was defeated!
“Who exactly is this Shadow Kill?” Yesterday's Fireworks furrowed his brow. He had been solo for quite some time and had encountered numerous attempts to recruit him. A player like Shadow Kill, with such impressive skills, surely must have left some trace within the community, even if he was unfamiliar.
But what was the result?
The result was that Yesterday's Fireworks racked his brain but could not recall anything at all!
“Tianchen, you seem completely unfazed by this!” Amidst the surprise, Liu Yuhan looked at the calm Yi Tianchen.
“Heh heh~”
Yi Tianchen chuckled lightly, casually lifting a cup of tea to drink before he said seriously, “Shadow Kill is one of All-Knowing’s people.”
Not a Master suddenly shouted, “Damn it! I knew it! This guy looks really familiar! I just couldn’t recall it for a moment!”
“But… even if Shadow Kill is one of All-Knowing’s people, what does that have to do with the topic we’re discussing right now?” Hero Does Not Question Origin continued to express confusion.
Seeing everyone’s bewildered expressions, Yi Tianchen continued, “What you are witnessing now is merely a prearranged scene. This is a transaction I agreed upon with All-Knowing. The outcome for Remnant is to shift the control of the competition to outsiders.”
“Wha… what do you mean?”
Li Tielong was somewhat dumbfounded, looking around and asking, “Did you understand? How about you? Did you get it?” Seeing everyone shake their heads, he felt somewhat relieved.
“Because… all of this is just to draw out the upcoming competition!”
Yi Tianchen smiled mysteriously, appearing somewhat calm yet slightly worried. After all, the upcoming competition would completely spiral out of control. He couldn’t definitively say whether making this decision was right or wrong; at this moment, there was no turning back.
“Liu Yuhan, prepare yourself; soon…”
“Uh~ Is it possible that President will take the stage?” Li Tielong was shocked and didn’t wait for Yi Tianchen to finish his sentence before jumping in decisively. “This… won’t it be a laughingstock for outsiders? You know that President possesses… the number one artifact in the Server-wide rankings!”
Liu Yuhan was speechless, and a scene from before the auction flashed through her mind…
Perhaps it is time to reveal ourselves!
This was something Yi Tianchen said back then, but no one paid attention at the time. Only now, when reflecting on it, does everything become clear.
The one revealing themselves is not Liu Yuhan, but rather what Liu Yuhan represents: Mist of Time!
At this moment, the entirety of Yi Tianchen's plan becomes apparent. Who are the people appearing in the arena? They are all from powerful factions in various Main Cities, and even the top ten Guilds have gathered here.
Even if they lose this battle, the name of Mist of Time will be known to the world!
Before this, the only impression Mist of Time left was as the first Chamber on the Server-wide scale. However, after this battle, Mist of Time will no longer be just a Chamber; it will showcase its Guild's strength to everyone, whether they want to admit it or not.
Clearly, this is a signal of rising power!
Chamber plus Guild—this is an undeniable force that cannot be ignored. On one hand, it demonstrates Mist of Time's strong stance to the outside world; on the other hand, it highlights the role Mist of Time will play in the Zero Era game and conveys a sense of opportunity for choice.
