Shadow of the Beautiful World

Bang, bang, bang

The flying bullets traced an indistinguishable trajectory in the night. Driven by the scorching flames, they shot towards the girl holding the sharp sword, but just before hitting the target, the sharp blade cut her from the middle. Open, or fly into the rear by rubbing the girl's body.

Holding a sword in one hand, Victoria seemed to be dancing in the flames. Her movements were light, and under the obstruction of the hail of bullets, like a shining shadow, she jumped and ran on the walls on both sides of the alley, and then rushed towards the front of her like a hawk. enemy.

They are fully armed.

The black combat uniforms had the triangle logo of Abstergo on them. They were well-trained, just like real elite soldiers. In a group of three, they kept blocking Victoria's charge with bullets.

They are the most elite force under Abstergo and the modern heritage of the Templars. In the past few years, they have captured and massacred the weak Assassin Brotherhood many times, and in 2000, successfully Destroyed the last stronghold of the Brotherhood.

Once, they thought, the millennium war was over.

However, tonight, when they faced the agile woman in front of them who was not like a mortal, holding a sharp sword like cutting melons and vegetables, and killing four companions, they suddenly realized

The war, in fact, never ended.

puff

Victoria's steel sword sliced ​​through the assault rifle in the soldier's hand, and the latter immediately drew out his pistol to fight back, but with the female assassin's wrist swinging, the deadly sword dance finally bloomed at this unavoidable distance.

It was like a white deadly flower blooming in the night, with sharp blades cutting necks and bodies, and advanced weapons could no longer protect them.

Snapped

Victoria landed on the alley floor, shaking the blood off the blade in her hand, and sheathed the sword.

Behind her, three Templar knights whose necks had been severed shook and fell to the ground. The severed weapons fell to the ground, making a crisp sound like hitting glass.

Victoria lowered her head, and around her waist, there was a mass of blood oozing out.

The demon hunter has keen senses and quick movements, but he still suffers injuries in the face of bullet attacks. Fortunately, for the demon hunter's extraordinary body, ordinary bullets are not enough to cause too much damage.

Victoria took out a bottle of potion from her waist and poured it with her head up. A trace of bulging veins appeared on her pretty face, making this female assassin look extremely hideous.

She turned her head and glanced at the dark passage in the back alley. There was still life moving there, but instead of chasing after it, she stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers. The standard Igni Seal was released, and a scorching flame descended from the sky , quickly ignite the corpses in the alley.

In the beating of the flames, the hooded female assassin stepped forward and quickly left the place filled with blood and death. The battle here was over, and it was time to find the next prey.

Two minutes after Victoria left, a young girl covering her mouth tremblingly stood up from her hiding place. She was not ordinary. She was one of the hired assassins of the League of Assassins in New York. The gun, it looked like it was going to pick up a leak when Victoria and the Templars were fighting.

But she was terrified.

The young girl, with weak legs, looked at the seven burning corpses in front of her. They went from dangerous enemies to meaningless firewood in just one minute.

She saw with her own eyes how Victoria hacked the seven people to death with a sword. She was terrified, and she watched Victoria leave without firing a single shot.

The reward of 15 million is great, perfect, but you have to spend it with your life.

Assassins are also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. Tonight, she saw the power that the night gave assassins.

On the other side, at the edge of the buzzing Times Square, Leila walked with easy steps among the endless stream of people.

Her special dress makes people around her very curious, but in this era, there are too many people who pay attention to performance art, and cosplay has also become a gradually rising fashion. Pedestrians think Leila is cool, but other than that, And no more thoughts.

Where are you? My little darlings.

Layla's fingers were twitching. She had escaped Abstergo's pursuers just now, and those Templars still had the brains to know that they should not shoot casually in such a public place.

So Leila's current enemies are those colleagues in the Continental Hotel who came to arrest her for offering rewards.

They are also very good at hiding, drawing their swords in the dark, and drifting away after completing their tasks.

This is a peer-to-peer contest.

puff

When passing by a small shop, Leila seemed to slip under her feet, and bumped into the arms of a handsome guy in a suit and leather shoes. The handsome guy reached out to try to help her, but the moment the two touched, the sharp Hidden Blade rose upwards. The push, like the tail needle of a poisonous bee, pierced the handsome guy's heart with a superficial touch.

Leila hummed and continued to move forward. Behind her, the dagger in the hand of the handsome man who had collapsed clutching his heart hit the ground.

Obviously, in the killer vs. killer confrontation, he lost.

The only result of losing is death.

puff

There was another soft sound, and the homeless killer who was sitting on the chair looking for the target hadn't recovered his senses before he was pierced through the neck by the Hidden Blade that suddenly appeared next to his cheek. Leila straightened his broken neck, then reached out to take out a wad of money from his pocket, and kicked it into her pocket.

She whistled and turned into an underground tunnel. In front of her eyes, men and women pretending to be lovers passed her shoulder to shoulder. Two hidden sharp knives stabbed Layla one left and one right, but when the shield of the Kunen Seal was broken In the light, Leila opened her hands, and the two Hidden Blades that popped out accurately pierced their arteries, causing the desperate mandarin ducks to fall limply to the ground.

On the other side, only a few meters away from the three of them, the street performer violinist had just pointed the muzzle hidden in the violin at Leila, when she saw Leila turning her head and smiling at her, the next moment, a flying knife shot out Before she could pull the trigger, it went into her throat.

The drunk old man yelled something, staggered close to the female assassin, flipped his fingers, and popped a poisonous needle on the ring.

But just as he held up the ring, Layla's eyes met his, and under the influence of the sign of Yaxi, the drunkard killer with blank eyes turned around and stabbed the poisonous thorn on the ring into the In the heart of the companion who followed behind.

In the almost inaudible sound after another, in the beating of the machine spring, in the spiritual induction of Yaxi Fayin, in the impact of Alder Fayin's thoughts, in the endless crowd of people in the underground square, those The killers who came to make money are being eliminated one by one.

The speed was astonishingly fast, as if playing a game of match 3, Leila walked out of the tunnel and stepped into the subway parked in front of her, she looked back.

The passers-by in the passage behind screamed and fled. The ground was covered with blood, as if the swaying god of death had just passed by, harvesting a dozen lives again.

wow

The subway doors closed, Leila turned her head and looked at the dozen or so people in the car, all of them were looking at her.

Leila whistled and took the broken spear from her waist. She moved her wrist and body, just like her ancestors, and said softly:

bring it on!

The next moment, more than a dozen killers disguised as passengers drew their weapons in unison, and swarmed towards Leila.

boom

In the woods of Central Park, Miles pulled the trigger, and hundreds of meters away, among the team of Templars who were chasing him, a smear of blood jumped from the neck of a guy who was looking around.

It was like throwing a bomb into a pond, causing the vigilant Templars to immediately disperse and start shooting in Miles' direction.

But he was no longer there.

He was like a ghost running in the dark, while moving silently, he replaced the sniper rifle with a new clip, then raised the gun and shot as before.

No need to aim, no need to wait, each shot will accurately take a life.

In the lock of Hawkeye's perception, no matter what kind of cover those Templars hid behind, they could be caught by Miles.

Last Bullet

A few minutes later, there were only three Templars left in pursuit, and Miles only had the last bullet left.

Without hesitation, he still raised his gun as before, pulled the trigger, then threw away the sniper rifle and rushed towards the enemy in front of him.

boom

The bullet made a deadly trajectory through the darkness, entering the first guy's eye, flying out of the back of the head, and entering the second guy's neck.

ah

The wounded Templar let out a wail. He tightly covered the wound on his neck, but the blood was already flowing from his fingers, and he couldn't survive.

The moment he fell, he vaguely saw a white figure tearing through the darkness and appearing behind his last companion. The guy raised his hands like a lover's caress, and the sharp Hidden Blade pierced from both sides. Worn around the neck of the last Templar.

that scene

That scene was very much like the legendary assassins.

They also appeared quietly from the darkness like Miles, and then took away the life of the enemy, leaving a warning about peace and strife for the people who are still alive.

The Templar soldier who was waiting for death fell in the woods full of corpses. He watched Miles turn and walk back into the darkness, and he watched the crazy assassin being completely swallowed by the darkness.

them

They are back!

The Assassin Brotherhood, which has been entangled with the Templars for thousands of years, has returned from hell with a stronger force

And just when Miles was about to continue hunting Abstergo's mercenaries, the communicator in his ear suddenly sounded, it was Layla's voice:

Myles, go to Brooklyn! Victoria met a tricky guy over there, it was Cross! The traitor who led the Templars to destroy the Brotherhood's last stronghold!

Okay! I'll go right away!

A gleam of anger flashed in Miles' eyes.

In 2000, the last Assassin stronghold was breached because of a traitor who was brainwashed by the Templars. His name was Cross. Like Miles and Layla, he also had the blood of a Master Assassin in his body. Attracted by the order of the Templar Knights, of course, more likely to be brainwashed.

That guy is already a lackey of the Templars.

He must be removed, tonight!

Ten minutes later, Miles arrived at Victoria's location in a borrowed car, but what caught his eyes was a corpse with its head chopped off, and a delicate black hand ax still left behind. On the guy's skull.

Victoria was sitting on the edge of this dead square, bandaging her injured left arm.

She had obviously gone through a tough fight. Judging from the several corpses lying at her feet, the killers of the League of Assassins might also want to catch a leak, but they underestimated the strength of the demon hunter.

You killed him?

Cross's head was chopped off by an ax, but from his clothes, Miles still judged his identity.

He turned his head to look at Victoria, who had a weird look on his face, which was bulging with blue veins from drinking the potion. She shook her head and said:

He pounced on me, it was tough, but I didn't kill him, it was another guy you and Layla should have met.

John Wick?

Miles stretched out his hand to help the somewhat weak Victoria, and he asked:

Why did he do this? Why did he intervene in this matter?

He said he hasn't made up his mind yet.

Victoria paraphrases the words of John Wick:

But he probably understood the grievances between the Brotherhood and the Templars. He said that it was too inappropriate for the three of us to face all this, so he would help us deal with Abstergo, but that doesn't mean he would join us.

Okay, another awkward guy.

Miles helped Victoria into the car. While driving, he looked around vigilantly. He said:

Layla is finishing off the last of Abstergo's pursuers, and the only ones left are the assassins from the League of Assassins. Can you still fight?

Give me 10 minutes, and give me a bottle of white honey.

Victoria says:

Let me relieve the toxins in my body. This little injury is nothing.

The girl turned her head and looked out of the window, she said softly:

Master is watching us! We will continue to fight

Let the glory of the Brotherhood bloom in this darkness.

click

Merlin closed the pocket watch in his hand, he looked out the window, the night was getting dark, and it was already 5 o'clock in the morning.

He looked calm, but Thalia beside him had an ugly expression.

The New York Continental Hotel has lost over 100 killers in the past 5 hours, and the number is increasing as time goes on.

Abstergo's mercenaries had been wiped out, and Merlin's three apprentices aimed their blades at the killers who dared to chase them down. They were not even satisfied with passive counterattacks, and occasionally took the initiative to attack.

Like three ghosts moving in the dark, under the combination of the power of the demon hunter and the assassination skills of the master assassins, the killers under Thalia's command are no match at all.

This group of guys who worked their lives for money were killed, and even some timid guys rushed back to the Continental Hotel. No one dared to do anything on the territory of the Continental Hotel. This is the default rule of the East Coast killers.

Game aborted!

Gritting her teeth together, Thalia said:

you win!

No.

Merlin shook his head, holding his wine glass, looking at the night outside the window, he said:

We have to abide by the contract. This is a virtue. If you say it ends at 8 o'clock, it must end at 8 o'clock.

He took a sip of his wine and said to Thalia:

Pray for those poor killers under your command that they will survive until dawn.

My apprentices have not let me down. They have proved in blood and death that they are capable of a greater mission. Like a rekindled flame, it will never be quenched by the cold wind.

Reconstruction of the Fraternity

here we go.

Pooh!

Thalia spat viciously, and she said to Merlin:

Your disciples are monsters just like you!

Thalia rolled her eyes, she put her hand on Merlin's shoulder, and said softly:

I'm really curious, where on earth did you find these monsters? Mind sharing this secret?

I suddenly felt that the League of Assassins might also need to carry out a force upgrade.
