The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)-Chapter 1133: YUNYUE VS SIREN (V)

[Morganite has been eliminated!]

[Both dragons are now unable to fight and will be directly sent to Yunyue's headquarters to recuperate.]

That's right. The three people who were hit by the arrows that Yin Meiyu fired were Su Yuqi and the two dragons. It was a very smart decision considering that the three who just got shot were the top damage dealers of team Yunyue. It was a very good move on Yin Meiyu's part. She might have been eliminated, but she didn't go down without a fight.

Her last effort managed to significantly weaken Yunyue's offense, creating an opportunity for her own team to turn the tides of the battle.

Of course, that didn't mean that team Yunyue was left completely weakened. All members of the team were formidable offensive fighters in their own right.

Luo Jin gritted his teeth when he read the announcement. He should have shot that archer girl twice before she could fire those arrows. He became too confident because the shot he fired earlier quickly eliminated that gnome girl. Now, because of his negligence, Su Yuqi was eliminated this early.

Several messages flashed in the team channel.

YUN: [Continue on. This will not change the plan. Where is everyone at?]

White Marsh: [I'm zeroing on their vice-captain. She seemed to be protecting a siren. It's not the captain. It must be the sister, a Mage.]

Noctis: [Then she's probably the one covering the sky. Eclipse and I can see the base, by the way. Their Captain is the only one there.]

White Marsh: [I'll attack the vice-captain as soon as I closed the distance between us.]

Luo Jin also entered a message.

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [I'll go and follow Yan to support.]

YUN: [I'll handle the mage. As soon as her skill disappear, proceed to the next step.]

With that, every member of team Yunyue started to move.

Bai Ze swiftly traversed the water by stepping on the rocks protruding from the river's surface. Even with the steam that Dusk created earlier by throwing fireballs at the river, before he was sadly eliminated, it still wouldn't be able to hide his large body.

Unlike him, Shen Ji Yun was most likely traveling stealthily. But this was done on purpose. Bai Ze would be the willing target, distracting Bellona, team Siren's vice-captain, while Shen Ji Yun would swiftly eliminate the Mage.

Through the thick fog, Bai Ze could finally see Bellona's silhouette more clearly. The figure of the Mage was just beyond her. Since he was only a short distance away, he immediately launched an attack.

However, as his strike reached its mark, it passed straight through the target. The figures of Bellona and the Mage shimmered and dissolved into the fog, revealing themselves to be mere mirages. Realizing he had been deceived, Bai Ze quickly scanned his surroundings, aware that the real Bellona be preparing a counterattack.

White Marsh: [The vice-captain and the Mage are not here.]

As soon as he sent that to the team channel, Shen Ji Yun suddenly appeared beside him from underwater. Seeing Shen Ji Yun up close, one could clearly see the gills under his ears. Those were artificial, of course. They came from eating a rare seaweed that allowed those who consumed it to breathe underwater.

Shen Ji Yun had four of it. He gave the remaining three to Luo Yan, Luo Jin, Eclipse and to him. Su Yuqi, with her great selection of skills, didn't really need it. Not to mention the dragons who refused to go underwater. Seeing as how two members of team Siren were consecutively eliminated, Luo Jin must have been putting it to good use.

Bai Ze still hadn't used his. The effect of the seaweed only lasted for 10 minutes. He felt that using it now would be a waste, especially since his role was to serve as some sort of bait.

"What I saw earlier must be an illusion. Meaning a trap is incoming," Bai Ze said.

"Trap or not, we have to find that Mage and eliminate her," Shen Ji Yun said. "I'll go and look for her underwater. You stay on the surface and keep an eye out for Bellona."

Bai Ze nodded. Then Shen Ji Yun dived underwater again.

Following Shen Ji Yun's orders, he moved once again. Jumping from one rock to another, he scanned the area for any signs of Bellona. Suddenly, he felt a force coming toward him from behind. Instinctively, he dodged, but his right shoulder was still grazed.

As he tried to regain his balance, he sensed another attack incoming. Swiftly turning around, he managed to defend himself. He parried the blade of the sword coming towards him with his gauntlets; the clash ringing out sharply in the fog-shrouded surroundings.

The one who attacked him was none other than Bellona.

A fierce fight erupted, the mist swirling around them as they clashed. Bellona's sword sliced through the air with deadly precision, each strike targeting Bai Ze's vulnerable points. He countered with powerful, sweeping blows, his Berserker instincts driving each attack with raw force.

Bellona moved with grace, her lithe form weaving through Bai Ze's heavy swings. She ducked and spun, her sword flashing in swift, calculated arcs. Each time she struck, it was with an uncanny precision, aiming to exploit any gap in his defenses.

Because of the constant offensive attacks, Bai Ze had no time to use a potion to fill his slowly decreasing HP. He roared, his frustration fueling his relentless onslaught. His gauntlets clashed against Bellona's blade, the force of his strikes causing sparks to fly. He swung with wild abandon, each blow intended to crush and overwhelm.

Bellona danced back, narrowly avoiding a crushing blow, and then darted forward, her sword aiming for a quick strike. Bai Ze deflected the attack with a powerful parry, the impact resonating through the mist.

"You are quite persistent, aren't you?" Bai Ze couldn't help but say in an annoyed tone.

Bellona smirked. "It's one of my many charms."
