Chapter 28 The Guards' Death Battle

Under the training of Starlight Trading Company, he has undergone a lot of practical training, and is equipped with quite advanced weapons and props. With so many resources invested, even an untalented mortal can grow into a strong man as long as he can persevere.

What's more, they are all people who have cultivated fighting spirit, and the strength of each of them is comparable to that of a silver-level adventurer picked from a hundred.

With their outstanding practical experience and the enhancement of props, they can hold out for a long time even if they encounter gold-level adventurers.

If he could easily repel me with one strike, then his opponent's strength undoubtedly had an absolute advantage, and he might be able to compete with a gold-level adventurer.

A strong man of this level is an absolute big shot wherever he is. Even if he serves the country, he will be infinitely welcomed by His Majesty the Emperor and given a very high status.

The guard's hands were covered with cold sweat without him noticing, and he stared closely at the black-robed man in front of him, as if he wanted to see where he was coming from.

However, the man in black robe obviously didn't want to talk to him any more. After his unsuccessful attack, he flipped the dagger in his hand, took a step forward, and rushed to the guard again at an extremely fast speed, raising the dagger and slashing at the guard's shoulder.

The angle chosen by the man in black robe was very tricky, because the guard was wearing armor, and the place where his dagger was aimed was the gap between the shoulder armor and the arm armor.

At the critical moment, the guard chose to raise his arm, injecting his fighting spirit into his arm armor to collide with the opponent's dagger.

"Boom!"

There was a low sound of metal falling to the ground, and half of the guard's arm armor was cut off by the man in black robe.

His arm was shaking constantly due to exhaustion, and the intense pain from his arm continued to stimulate the guard's brain.

The pain was like being burned by fire, and he could hardly suppress his groans.

The gap between the two was too big. Even if he tried his best, he could only last for one or two minutes at most.

Why haven’t the other two teams of reinforcements that are on standby arrived yet?

My companion should have sent the notification message as soon as possible.

This thought flashed through his mind, and the guard extinguished it.

Faced with a mysterious and powerful man of unknown origin, the guard instinctively felt the urge to escape.

But when he recalled the oath he had made, the guard struggled to raise his sword and stood in front of the man in black robe again.

Beads of sweat kept flowing from his head and he was breathing heavily. His fighting power was probably less than half of what it was in his prime.

Even so, he still had to fight. Guarding the door behind him was his only mission now.

The other four guards were trying hard to suppress the impulse that was about to explode when they saw their companion in such a miserable state. They could not help because they were not sure that there was only one invader. If their rash actions gave the other party an opportunity to destroy the most important warehouse for Starlight Trading Company, they would be doomed.

These guards were orphans who were nearly dead and were picked up by Starlight Trading Company during the war. They were rescued and raised by Starlight Trading Company. Starlight Trading Company once gave them a choice for their future, and since they had chosen this path, they must follow through to the end. Moreover, deep down in their hearts, they had already regarded Starlight Trading Company as their home and their only spiritual sustenance.

There is nothing wrong in sacrificing your life for your family.

The man in black robe was a little surprised that the guard in front of him still had the will to fight. Although the blow just now was not fatal, the man in black robe who was very familiar with the structure of the human body knew very well that if an ordinary person was hit by that blow, he would have lost his ability to fight long ago. Not to mention anything else, the severe pain caused by torn muscles alone was unbearable for ordinary people.

Although surprised, the man in black robe also has his own mission and will not show mercy to the guards.

Since the other party is pursuing death, why shouldn't he fulfill his wish?

"Shadow Thrust." Wanting to finish the fight quickly, the man in black robe used one of his best fighting skills.

The figure of the man in black robe disappeared from the guards' sight as if teleporting. Not only his figure, but also his breath disappeared.

The guard's heart tightened. He certainly would not be so naive as to think that the other party had retreated, and he quickly judged that the other party must have launched some kind of fighting skills. He looked around, but did not find any trace of the black-robed man. The more he saw this, the more uneasy the guard felt.

"Where did you go?"

The guard kept waving his sword with one hand, but it was just cutting the air in vain. The man in black robe seemed to have really disappeared.

"Behind, be careful!"

One of the four guards guarding the warehouse suddenly shouted.

The guard's heart trembled, and he subconsciously swung his sword backwards, trusting his companion 100%.

However, the sword missed again.

A chill that almost blended into the shadow attacked from the tip of the nose. The guard's pupils slightly dilated, and a dagger shining with green light was constantly magnified in his eyes.

He didn't know why the man in black robe suddenly appeared in front of him, just like he didn't know why he suddenly disappeared. However, there was one thing the guard was very clear about: if he didn't block this attack, his death would probably be imminent.

Humans can always burst out with extremely powerful strength at the critical moment of life and death. Driven by a strong desire to survive, the guard raised the sword in his hand and laid it across his chest.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, an irresistible force came from the sword, and the base of the right hand holding the sword broke directly. He could no longer hold the sword, and the sword made of a little "black steel" fell to the ground with a "clang".

And because of the huge force, the guard, who had nowhere to relieve the force, retreated five or six steps and hit the iron wall. His mind went blank and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

Completely lost the power to resist.

"You are able to take my attack without dying. That's commendable."

The man in black robe spoke for the first time, and his voice was no longer so cold.

"You are a qualified warrior. Let me see you off."

The dagger in the black-robed man's hand was like the god of death's scythe, mercilessly cutting the guard's throat.

It’s over... The guard slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

The other four guards were furious. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't save their companions before the dagger in the black-robed man's hand fell.

At the moment when the dagger was about to fall, the man in black robe withdrew his right hand like lightning and leaped backwards suddenly.

The guard only felt a light breeze blowing past him, and the death he had been waiting for for a long time did not come as expected.

He opened his eyes in confusion and found that the man in black robe was not paying attention to him, but to the feather arrow next to him that was deeply embedded in the wall.

Although the walls of Starlight Commercial Bank are not made of metal of the same grade as "black steel", they are made of "corundum", which is only a slightly inferior grade. It can be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns, and even magic may not be able to destroy it.

However, half of the arrow that came from nowhere was embedded in the wall, which was enough to show how amazing the arm strength of the owner who shot it was.

There is absolutely no strong man of this level in Roserowe, and there are only a handful of archers in the Kendenia Empire who can do this, so the identity of that person is not difficult to guess. Coupled with the wind he felt before, the identity of the mysterious archer who helped him is almost obvious.

"Ionbert?"

The man in black robe stared at the direction where the arrow came from, and his tone became serious for the first time.
