Quadruple split

Sneaking and backstabbing, I don’t know since when, this routine has become the standard combo for thieves, assassins and other professions in all games. Although they have been constantly changing skins and adding derivatives as the times develop, for any one For players who are keen on assassinating characters, this is definitely a familiar and basic routine.

The fact that it can be so widely used in the game also proves that the price-performance ratio of these two skills is indeed very high after being connected together. Just like the hero saving the beauty whose fashion value has almost fallen into negative numbers, it is because it is good. Use the concept that is understood by ordinary individuals.

Lian Yuanrui is not a player, but an NPC born and raised in the Realm of Innocence. However, like countless professionals of the same type, the combo of [Stealth] + [Backstab] is one of the basic routines that she understands best. one.

[Stealth] refers to the assassin's action when he eliminates his figure through means such as [Concealment] and escapes into the blind spot of the opponent's field of vision. It is not a noun, but an out-and-out verb.

[Backstab] literally means to carry out a sneak attack from behind the enemy, using cold weapons to cause extremely threatening damage to the enemy. Not only experienced NPCs like to use it, but even among players, [Backstab] is also used It is known as the most cost-effective low-level skill. As long as conditions permit, it can deal explosive damage under any circumstances.

Since these two are very compatible, [Stealth] + [Backstab], which are often used together, have become the most frequently used starting moves in the corresponding professional systems.

To put it simply, the assassin first hides his figure through corresponding techniques, then goes around from the blind spot of the target's vision to behind him, and finds a place with fragile skin and thin armor to strike. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and the red knife goes in and then the red knife. If he comes out again, it's best to stab him to death as soon as possible.

But having said that, although the stealth backstab is easy to use, it also has limitations. For example, it is not particularly effective against heavily armored professions such as knights and berserkers. After all, most people are wearing plate armor. It looks like an iron can. There is basically no big difference between poking the front and the back.

In addition, it is almost difficult to successfully apply this technique during combat. After all, the enemy is fighting with you as a thief and suddenly finds that the other party is gone. The first reaction is basically to focus on watching behind you. Most of the stealth skills cannot completely disappear. Even the more powerful [One Leaf Blind] or [Environmental Mimicry] cannot completely hide the user's body and aura, so beware of the target. Under the circumstances, it is not too difficult to succeed in this technique.

To sum up, in most cases, this cost-effective assassination method is basically used when there is mental arithmetic but no intention, or the other party’s IQ is limited. For example, if your target wants to find a place for a massage, you become Pretend to be a technician and stab him unprepared; or maybe the other person is a heartless person with single-digit intelligence. Even if you play tricks in front of him openly, it will be as if nothing is wrong.

Therefore, according to common sense, in the current situation, if Miss Lian wants to successfully complete the stealth backstab operation, the success rate is basically infinitely close to zero.

You must know that although Patty, who has gained control of Gawen's body, can only perform at the early stage of the epic, and her physical condition is not ideal, she has reached the peak of the legend after all, and she is still a master of mental control who is keen on capturing breath. On the premise that the magical skill [Fantasy Dream·Rainbow Blade] has been completed, the perception ability has almost no blind spots.

On the other hand, under the influence of [Dream Senluo], Lian's senses at this moment have been messed up. With vision, hearing, and smell basically being severely disturbed, Lian wants to complete it in front of the former. A surprise attack from behind is almost impossible.

Unfortunately, 'almost' is not 'absolutely' after all.

Patty's perception is almost blind, but it's not absolute.

Lian Xiang's sneak attack from behind was almost impossible to accomplish, but it was also not absolute.

Therefore, Lian completed it, and the specific process was shockingly simple——

The exquisite black short blade [she] flew through the air, drawing a pleasing arc, and hit the four colorful light blades surrounding Patty without a moment's notice. In the process, she did not expect it at all. Seeing that the opponent still had the ability to counterattack, Patty was inevitably stunned for about half a second, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the dagger in Lian's hand that looked simple but had a strong presence at this moment.

Lian, on the other hand, did not hesitate to activate [Aura Concealment], a common high-level skill for cunning melee professionals, at this moment, greatly weakening her sense of existence, and at the same time, her eyes and left wrist were connected with each other. The Dao Hong Blade was parallel, took two brisk steps forward, then moved laterally and turned around.

Eye contact would attract attention, and the weapon held upside down behind her left wrist represented a threat. After these two details were handled instinctively by Lian, she miraculously seemed to be almost there. The handle 'disappeared' in Patty's eyes, which had attracted all the attention [from her].

Disappeared for a moment!

After more than half a second, Patty and Gawen, who were both attracted to their sights, suddenly discovered that the hand that was supposed to be holding the end of the dagger did not exist. Instead, there was a thin line, which was light gray all over. A thin line that almost blends into the handle of the dagger!

Visual induction, environmental masking, psychological suggestion...

In less than half a second, Lian relied on her instincts to complete these three tasks that would have stumped a bunch of assassins individually in actual combat. She completed a miraculous detour and delivered the weapon smoothly. He took out the off-hand long dagger in his hand that had been coated with a thin layer of [Breaking Wind Ointment] at some point, and stabbed the dagger named [Follow Him] into Patty's back!

The next second, the feeling of tearing open the robe, cutting the skin, piercing flesh and the warm touch of blood came from the dagger.

Lian got perfect feedback!

but--

[The conditioned reflex of the muscles is too weak, and the concentration of the blood smell is too high, which is wrong. 】

At the last moment when he was about to succeed, he was confused by the dream and failed to follow the rhythm of the target's movement. Lian successfully pierced the opponent's heart with a shake of his right hand, pulling back the main-hand dagger that had not yet landed, and raised his hands slightly. , actually completed a round of [Backhand Spin] with both hands at the same time.

This is another one of the most basic skills for assassins. The effect, consumption, and damage are all very average. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a move that any player of the same profession will definitely master before level 20.

But Lian's backhand spin stab is different from most people's.

Mo Tan, who has a "chaotic neutral" personality, usually uses this skill to adjust the feel of the weapon to prepare for his next round of skills or change of clothes.

And the female assassin Yu Ying, who had no emotions, used it as a low-cost sneak attack method that was both offensive and defensive.

But in Lian's hands, the [Backhand Spin] move has almost wiped out all other characteristics, leaving only one extremely simple characteristic, and that is - quick!

It was so fast that it was almost difficult to catch it with the naked eye, so fast that the sound could not catch up with the speed of the blades, so fast that when she raised her hands, the two daggers were less than two centimeters away from Patty's shoulder blades!

Speed ​​is not the only essence of this skill. Indeed, at this point in time, it can achieve immediate results and maintain the confidence of the offensive.

And it was this speed that directly reduced Patty's more than ten coping methods to choose from after Lian's backstab attack into a single multiple-choice question with a single answer!

block! You can only block it!

There is no way to counterattack, no way to dodge, no way to contain, no choice but to defend as fast as possible!

So, naturally, the rainbow blade that was originally entrenched around Patty appeared behind him at the same time, firmly blocking Lian's two daggers.

That’s right, it’s ‘Lian’s two daggers’, not ‘Lian’s two daggers’.

To put it simply, when Patty blocked the two stabs with the rainbow blade and quickly turned around to meet the enemy, he suddenly found that there were only two daggers in front of him that were blown away by the reaction force, both of which were connected with the familiar silk thread. .

But this time, there was something more between the two silk threads connected between the handle of the dagger and Lian's wrist than before.

That's Patty's neck!

【Chokehold】

It is also one of the most basic assassin skills. The noose that quietly appeared in front of Patty suddenly tightened, tightly wrapped around the latter's slender white neck, and directly strangled the holy words she had not yet spit out in her throat. .

Although countless people believe that the core goal of the [Chrooke] skill is to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy's vital points and is one of the most standard means of killing, in fact, interrupting the caster's chanting is also the essence of this skill. It's just that the [Chokehold], which is not intended to kill and is specifically used to interrupt, has a very low usage rate, so now few people deliberately practice it for rhythm and adaptability.

Rather than working on such low-level skills, people often prefer to study more high-end assassination techniques or moves.

But Lian was different. She had no interest in this kind of thing, so she had no interest at all in [Advanced Assassination Technique], which was equivalent to a bonus question back then. She just continued to perform basic exercises in order to complete the tasks given by her parents.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to directly use such a perfect chokehold in this situation, which not only directly dealt a fatal blow to Patty, but also eliminated the possibility of the latter using powerful magic again.

This is the eldest lady of [Angel of Death] - Lian Yuanrui, an assassination genius with a kind and gentle personality and a quiet and elegant temperament!

She is able to instinctively capture high-value information even when her perception is subject to extreme interference;

She can switch from offense to defense in one second by relying on on-the-spot responses, forcing the opponent to stop defending;

She can deliberately lead the other party to blindly blind her during the fight;

She can perfectly predict a threatening spell and kill it in advance!

She is able to transform various low-level skills that people are familiar with into effective killing, and even pose a fatal threat to Patty Halseitz!

She could even think at this stall whether the pot of tea on Foster Ward's table should be filled with hot water!

And all of this is just because she did less than three hours of enlightenment training every day when she was a lolita, and both the content and intensity were the minimum standard of enlightenment training.

Lian doesn't have a body like Jadka that will continue to get stronger even if left alone, nor does she have such unreasonable power. She just instinctively knows how to kill.

And this is her only flaw!

Her instinct is to assassinate, not kidnap!

But the task she got was to 'control or capture the target alive, and absolutely not kill it if conditions permit'.

So when Lian tightened the two silk threads on her wrist, she hesitated for a moment.

Because in this girl's instinct, there is no solution for how to save the other person's life in this situation.

Liansha's momentary hesitation gave Patty a chance.

A silent magical spell is also an opportunity to make a comeback from a desperate situation!

[I have tried my best, the rest is up to you. Don’t forget what you promised! 】

In the moment before the silk thread was tightened, Patty turned her head desperately, and finally caught Lian's gaze at the critical moment. Then a flash of emerald green light suddenly lit up in her eyes. Through her understanding of spiritual power, she squeezed out all of Lian's eyes. The last bit of faith power in Wen's body did not use any magic, but simply turned it into dozens of continuous spiritual attacks and smashed them towards the lotus.

"Woo!"

Lian, who had always been under the influence of [Dream Senluo], immediately groaned and collapsed softly to the ground, two streaks of bright red nosebleeds flowed out silently.

On the other side, Patty rolled her eyelids after using this move and fell straight backwards. Fortunately, Gawen regained control of her body at the last moment and barely leaned forward to avoid falling directly. Then he staggered over the unconscious Lian and rushed towards the gray alley area underground.

at the same time

Academy City Inner Ring District, Angelor Astronomy Academy, Dean's Office

"Though I'm glad you took the time to come over, honey."

On the soft seat behind the desk, a human woman with long gray hair and a kind temperament shrugged her shoulders and smiled at the shy junior on the sofa: "But your appearance now really makes me It’s hard to believe you came here specifically to be with me.”

"I'm sorry, aunt."

The great astrologer gently twisted his fingers while carefully raising his eyes to look at Andrea, the current dean of the Angelo Academy of Astronomy and a well-known astrologer in the industry. A. Akizolti muttered in a low voice: "I'm causing trouble for you."

"I don't think it's troublesome. I'm just a little surprised that you wanted to come here as a guest and were unwilling to communicate with those little admirers..."

"I...want to help someone."

"who?"

"A man my aunt doesn't know."

"What man?!"

"My man..."

"?"
