The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

DESPITE looking all carefree and collected, Luo Yan was still secretly worried.  But he didn't show any of that.  He would definitely not give his opponent this satisfaction.  So, as he was checking on the Pet Status tab, he talked to Eclipse telepathically.

[Are you okay, Eclipse?] – he asked while looking at the Pet Status tab.  Currently, Eclipse HP was dwindling, evidence that he was being attacked continuously.  [Do you need help?]

[No, Mashter.  Eclipse can handle it.]

Eclipse's voice was hurried, even breathy.  Anyone who heard this would know that the other was fighting against someone or in this situation, something. 

Luo Yan glanced at the still dwindling HP and decided to simply trust Eclipse.  So, he no longer said anything and just let the other fight.  If he talked again, he might just affect Eclipse's concentration that might as well lead to his defeat.  How could he let Eclipse's first official fight be a defeat?

Ding Rong looked at the cage of thorn.  Inside that, there would be countless blade leaves going around the small space like a blade storm.  This was her specialty – plant magic. 

Mages like her usually only focused on one type of magic.  Being able to master one type of magic could make their skills much more powerful.  Because their affinity to that one magic type also increased.  She had never met another Mage who had mastered multiple magic type.  Doing something like that needed a lot of dedication.

The reason why she picked plant magic was because the first skill book that she obtained had something to do with it.  So, she simply kept at it. 

She shook her head.  This was definitely not the time for her thoughts to deviate like this.  She should take this opportunity to attack Noctis while that pet of his was still trapped in her cage.  If she made him move and attack back, then, that could already be considered win for her.  After all, it would prove that he was all talk.  That he couldn't back up that huge ego of his.

Ding Rong pointed her wand towards the white-haired elf.  She used another one of her skills – [Leaf Blade].  A leaf as sharp as a blade would appear and attack the target.  It's not just a simple leaf attack.  It had a homing trait where it wouldn't stop until it hit the target. 

The tip of her wand glowed green and a curved leaf like the blade of a scimitar appeared.  It rushed towards Noctis at a fast speed.

Luo Yan, of course, saw this incoming attack.  Without moving a single step, he easily dodged it.  But he quickly saw it coming to his direction again.  He easily understood that it's the type that wouldn't stop unless it hit the target, which in this case was him.  Or it was destroyed instead. 

As he dodged it again, he wondered if he should take out his dagger and destroy it.  As he was contemplating that, the leaf was about to attack him again.  He decided to just take the dagger out.  But before he could do it, the cage of thorn in front suddenly exploded. 

It wasn't a typical explosion, the vines simply turned into smithereens because of the blob of shadow that burst from within the cage of thorns. Before Luo Yan could look for Eclipse, a small shadow flashed by in front of him and destroyed the leaf blade that had been bothering him.

Eclipse was now standing in front of him.  The boy's clothes were now messy and tattered in some places.  Even his hat was now missing.  Thankfully, there were no prominent wounds on him.

"Argh, look at what you did to Eclipse's clothes!" Eclipse complained while stomping his foot, showing just how annoyed he was.

"Don't worry, I'll buy you a new set after this," Luo Yan assured the other.

Eclipse's face visibly cleared when he heard what his master said.  "You're lucky Eclipse's mashter is such a generous person.  But Eclipse is still pissed.  So, you have to get beat up now."

Ding Rong was still shocked that the fox boy had destroyed her [Thorny Cage].  And he did it almost unscathed.  How could that be possible?  Even the attack he threw at Noctis was deflected by this fox. 

She now realized that if she didn't dish out her strongest skill, she wouldn't be able to kill this fox.  As long as this fox was here, she wouldn't be able to get to the white-haired elf.  She just had to get rid of the fox and everything after that would be easier.

She no longer hesitated and drank a Mana potion to replenish her MP that decreased a lot mostly because of using [Thorny Cage].  Her MP was back to full again.  She was about to use her strongest skill but before she even could, someone suddenly grabbed both her arms.  No, it's not 'someone', but two exact copies of the fox boy. 

Luo Yan looked at Rosetta who was trying to get away from the hold of two of Eclipse's shadow clone.  Normally, only kitsunes with high number of tails could do it.  But because Eclipse had the Elementum, it was not a problem for him.

While Rosetta was busy trying to get away from the grip of the two 'Eclipse', she was even doing some kicking, she didn't notice that Eclipse was already rushing towards her.  His claws were out and dark-blue fox flame was surrounding his fist.  The moment he arrived in front of Rosetta, he didn't waste time and just directly pierced her chest. 

Ding Rong felt like something just pinched her skin.  She slowly looked down and her eyes widened when she saw the arm that passed through her chest.  When that arm pulled out, the wound on her chest was surrounded by a dark-blue flame. 

She looked at the boy in front of her.  "Y-you—"

"You lost," Eclipse finished.  "And before Eclipse forget, this is for you."

He raised his hand and scratched Rosetta's face.

Before Ding Rong could get angry, her whole body was suddenly engulfed by the dark-blue flame.
