Chapter 981: Chapter 54: Demon Summoning_2
Sida’s face was pale as he approached Ah Dai, breathing slightly heavily, "Little brother, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I fear I might have been dead by that bastard’s hand already."
The Water Element Old Magician said angrily, "The Assassin’s Guild is too audacious, daring to provoke us right here at the headquarters of the Mage Guild."
Simon also ran over, looked at the assassin who had already breathed his last, his expression as grim as water, handed over the Magic Robe, the monthly tribute, and the Magic Card he had brought for Ah Dai, and said, "Everyone, don’t be angry. I’ll go and report to the Guild President." After saying this, he turned and ran towards the back.
Sida crouched down, and pulled off the face covering from the assassin’s face. The dead assassin’s appearance was very ordinary, the type that wouldn’t be noticed in a crowd. His face had turned purple, and purple blood continuously flowed from the wound on his neck, showing how potent the poison on the short blade was. He searched the assassin’s embrace and a small black metal plaque fell out, with the character for ’Stealth’ engraved on it, Sida exclaimed in shock, "A Stealth Killer. Why would he want to kill me?"
A Mage asked Ah Dai, "Little brother, aren’t you a member of our Guild? Why did you use martial arts just now?"
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "My Magic Level isn’t high, I only know some very basic Fire Magic. I joined the Mage Guild mainly to receive the monthly tribute to make ends meet. I am a disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, and now martial arts is what I primarily study."
Upon hearing Ah Dai say he was a disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, the Magicians immediately showed their respect. On the continent, due to the scarcity of Magicians, they held a high status, and Magicians generally looked down upon Samurai. However, there was an exception in the Empire of Huasheng, and that was the Tian Gang Sword Sect. The Tian Gang Sword Sect was the national sect of the Empire of Huasheng, and even the Emperor of Huasheng showed great respect to the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. In the Empire of Huasheng, the status of a disciple of the Tian Gang Sword Sect was no less than that of a priest from the Holy Church.
Sida’s mood had calmed down and he said, "So, brother is a member of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, no wonder your skills are so formidable. I, Sida, make you my friend. If there’s anything in the future, just say the word, and I will certainly not refuse. Our Mage Guild has always been on good terms with the Tian Gang Sword Sect." His previous arrogance had evaporated, and his hearty words greatly endeared him to Ah Dai.
Suddenly, a chilly voice rang out, "The Mage Guild isn’t all that impressive. The inferior skills of the Tian Gang Sword Sect aren’t worth mentioning either. Today, you all will go to your deaths together."
Everyone was shocked and looked towards the door, only to see about twenty black-clothed figures walking in, the five leading figures all dressed in Black Magic Robes, the rest in the same attire as the previous assassin, clearly up to no good. The old man at the door moved aside, not interfering with their entry, but his face showed no sign of panic.
The Water Element Old Magician frowned and said, "Who are you? Have you come to cause trouble at our Mage Guild?"
Two of the black-clothed figures separated to guard the door, while the rest entered. One of the Black Robed Magicians said coldly, "Indeed, we have come to cause trouble, not just to provoke, but to flatten your Mage Guild. Charge." A dozen black-clothed Assassins transformed into shadows and dashed towards the Magicians like lightning, giving them no chance to chant their Spells. Initially, they had sent an Assassin to infiltrate and assassinate a few Mages present to weaken the strength of the Mage Guild, but Ah Dai’s intervention foiled their plan, prompting them to come in full force, determined to cause maximum damage to the Mage Guild in the shortest time.
Ah Dai was well aware of the Magicians’ weakness and quickly stood in front of everyone, emitting a Yellow Energy Sword with a mighty sweep that stopped the black-clothed figures in their tracks.
The Assassins were all skilled and came at him from different angles. The three Assassins in the front immediately collided with the force Ah Dai had emitted and were thrown backward with internal injuries from the huge impact. Fearing that these people would harm the Magicians behind him, Ah Dai held nothing back and, controlling the Energy Sword, spread out a pale yellow light screen under his lightning-fast movements, blocking the numerous attacks from the Assassins. Faint images flickered in the glow, obscuring Ah Dai’s form. When the Assassins’ weapons touched Ah Dai’s Energy Sword, they immediately snapped in two. In the brief skirmish, the ground was littered with over a dozen broken blades. However, it seemed that the Assassins were each carrying more than one weapon as they continuously drew other weapons and kept moving in front of Ah Dai, looking for an opening.
Ah Dai stood resolute, with the radiance from his Silver body within his Dantian at its peak, emitting waves of enormous pressure from his body, deterring the Assassins before him from attacking recklessly.
Suddenly, a swath of black mist emanated from two Black Robed Magicians on the left, drifting towards Ah Dai. Not knowing what Magic it was, Ah Dai was startled and moved back, his left palm emitting a blaze of white light, forcefully blocking the advance of the black mist, but the vast energy contained within the black mist brought him immense pressure. He groaned, his whole body shaking, and the Assassins seized the opportunity to charge. Ah Dai’s movements in resisting the Assassins slowed considerably, and the yellow light from his Energy Sword dimmed. Just then, the Magicians behind Ah Dai had also finished their spells, and a variety of brilliant Magics flew out from behind Ah Dai towards the dark mist in the air. After puffs of sound, these brilliant Magics disappeared into the mist, unable to disturb the energy of the dark mist. All the pressure was fully concentrated on Ah Dai. It turned out that the Magicians of the Mage Guild, in their haste to use Magic, had all employed level five basic and intermediate Attack Magic, which was neutralized under the level six Dark Magic Fog Soul Corrosion.
