Chapter 63: Slicing and Dicing, the Powerful Phantom Assassin

“Humans! Brothers, grab your weapons!”

Hearing the cry of this Frost Goblin, over a dozen Frost Goblins in the mine shaft looked over in unison.

“It really is humans, but there are only three of them!”

“Kill them!”

Right at that moment, one of the Goblin Throwers seemed to spot Liu Muxue beside Cao Xing.

It said excitedly, “There's a woman! What a beautiful human female!”

The other goblins also looked in the direction it was pointing.

Instantly, their eyes turned red, filled with lustful gazes.

“Wahahaha! This broad is so juicy! Kill the men, and drag the woman into the cave to bear our children!”

Liu Muxue's pretty face turned pale, and she subconsciously gripped her shield tighter.

Cao Xing glared and directly ordered, “Assam, Sarah, deal with them.”

From the shadows, Sarah also heard the vulgar tone of these goblins, and killing intent boiled in her heart.

“These filthy creatures, the Shadow Sanctuary will bring down judgment upon them!”

With those words, Sarah and Assam instantly rushed forward.

The group of goblins also instantly entered combat state.

Swish! Swish, swish!

Several arrows shot towards them!

However, both Sarah and Assam had already activated their [Frost Magic Shield].

When these arrows hit them, a crisp clattering sound rang out.

Ding! Ding, ding, ding!

After being weakened four times by the Frost Magic Shield, Scale Armor, Ice Shield, and their own equipment, the arrows fell limply to the ground.

A few pitiful damage numbers popped up over Sarah and Assam's heads.

[-8]

[-7]

[-9]

Compared to their HP pools which were easily in the thousands, this bit of damage was completely negligible.

The goblins were completely dumbfounded.

“What the hell, these humans have such high armor!”

“Boss, our attacks don't seem to work on them!”

Before the group of goblins could react, Sarah rushed forward like a phantom.

Swoosh!

An arc of light flashed.

Sarah instantly lunged forward over a dozen meters.

Bloody gashes instantly appeared on several goblins along her path.

In the next moment, these gashes turned into horrific wounds.

“Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft!”

Blood splattered.

[-904]

[-857]

[-1874!]

Terrifying damage numbers soared one after another.

In an instant, all four Frost Goblins were killed.

[Your territory member, Sarah Blade Dance, has killed Frost Goblin Lv.9, gaining 90 EXP.]

[Combat personnel gained EXP: 45 points]

…

Notifications of EXP gain kept appearing.

The other goblins were terrified, and they shouted, “It's a Dark Elf!”

“Go together, capture her!”

The goblins were just about to rush over and surround Sarah.

Right at that moment, an extremely intense chill suddenly erupted from Sarah.

Crack!

The chill turned into a cloud of white mist, dispersing instantly.

The four nearby goblins instantly felt their blood run cold, and their bodies became incredibly stiff!

It was the effect of the Frost Magic Shield!

Then, Sarah's Umbral Blade silently swept across their necks.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two goblins were instantly killed!

[Your territory member, Sarah Blade Dance, has killed Frost Goblin Lv.8, gaining 80 EXP.]

[Combat personnel gained EXP: 40 points]

[Your territory member…]

Less than ten seconds had passed since the battle began, and Sarah had already slain six goblins like a phantom.

“So strong! Is this a Boss-tier assassin?”

Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised.

Since the battle started, he hadn't even raised his staff.

This had completely become Sarah's one-woman show.

Not only Cao Xing, but even Assam, who was standing to the side, had no chance to show off.

Assam stood in place awkwardly, then raised his longsword and charged straight ahead to face the Elite-tier goblin.

As fellow Elite-tier creatures, Assam was one level lower than this goblin.

But because of Cao Xing's active permanent buffs,

Assam's actual combat power could now be completely regarded as that of a Boss-tier creature.

Swoosh!

The silver sword swept across.

A bloody gash instantly appeared on the blue skin of this Elite Goblin.

[-327]

“Ow!”

The Elite Goblin cried out in pain, rolling away to quickly create some distance.

It drew its bowstring, and an arrow carrying an icy aura shot out instantly.

Ding!

[-102]

The damage barely broke a hundred.

The Elite Goblin's damage was still quite high, but compared to Assam's defense, it was far too lacking.

And immediately after, healing numbers of +25, +25 popped up over Assam's head.

“Human, what kind of magic shield is this of yours?”

The Elite Goblin was exasperated.

But Assam had no desire to chat and had already charged over to attack again.

Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh!

Silver light flashed continuously, and the Elite Goblin could only defend passively time and again, with absolutely no opportunity to counterattack.

Relying on Assam alone was enough to unilaterally suppress an elite monster of the same level.

At this moment, Sarah had also finished off the other trash-mob goblins in the cave.

She quickly locked her gaze onto the Elite Goblin that was fighting Assam.

In the next moment, Sarah's figure vanished from where she stood.

The Elite Goblin, who was originally fighting Assam,

felt a bad premonition the instant it saw Sarah disappear.

Before it could even react,

Sarah's Umbral Blade appeared silently.

Chirr!

[-784]

This strike slashed directly into the Frost Goblin's main artery.

Its HP instantly plummeted by a massive chunk.

Against an elite monster like this, Sarah only needed five strikes to slash it to death.

Under the onslaught of Cao Xing's two generals, there was no suspense left for the rest of the battle.

Only five seconds passed.

And this Frost Goblin's HP was already bottoming out.

[Current HP: 156/3240]

At this moment, Cao Xing directly shouted, “Assam, Sarah, stop!”

The two recruited creatures had cooperated with Cao Xing so many times.

The moment Cao Xing spoke, they already understood his intention.

They stopped their attacking motions one after another.

The Elite Goblin was still standing in place, dazed.

Right at that moment, three ice spikes over forty centimeters long shot over instantly.

Swish! Swish, swish!

The ice spikes all hit their mark.

[-63]

[-65]

[-66]

Three instances of damage appeared, taking away its last bit of HP.

“Awoo!”

The Elite Goblin wailed and collapsed directly.

[Successfully killed Frost Goblin, Lv.12 Elite-tier creature. Level-gap kill bonus applied: Gained 200 * 300% EXP, a total of 600 EXP!]

[Obtained Loot: Ice Crystal * 7]

[Obtained Ascalon Archer Recruitment Scroll (Blue) * 1]

[Obtained Dim Elite Soul * 1]

[Obtained Book of Agility (Medium) * 1]

[Obtained Ice Crystal Longbow (Green) * 1]

…

600 EXP was quite decent.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Aside from that, this Elite-tier creature had dropped quite a few items.

He didn't check them immediately, but instead began clearing the battlefield with Liu Muxue.

Cao Xing began searching the bodies of the goblins killed by Sarah.

Then, he gathered up all the materials, stones, and other loot in one go.

…
