两男一女的双龙挺进

The special class of the Vermilion Royal Academy was made up of prodigies that appeared once in a hundred years. They were the kingdom\'s most valuable assets and were often referred to as the kingdom\'s crouching tigers.

As the name suggests, none of these people were ordinary in any way; each was exceptional, equivalent to a one-man army, possessing the ability to decimate the enemy\'s frontline.

Bridget decided not to draw any conclusions just yet and resolved to watch how the fight would play out.

Back inside the mysterious realm.

"Why don\'t we take it a step further?" Hendrix declared in a booming voice as the golden details on his gauntlet burned intensely, like a blazing flame ready to devour anything in its path.

\'I\'m not letting him hit me with this,\' Nox thought. Just by gazing at the roaring golden flame, he could tell it would chip away a huge chunk of health. His mind began to race as he thought of ways to counter it.

Under Nox\'s calculating gaze, Hendrix charged forward and punched the air. A thunderous explosion, similar to a cannon blast, detonated in the air, and Nox saw a tunnel of flames heading toward him at breakneck speed. The wind howled fiercely, and the air crackled with energy.

When the roaring flame tunnel entered a one-meter radius, a smirk crawled up Nox\'s features.

Those watching outside the mysterious realm saw the smile on Nox\'s face. They thought he had gone mad, overwhelmed by the situation—until their eyes widened in shock at what they saw.

Just a couple of seconds before the flaming golden tunnel could devour Nox, he vanished.

"He used it again!" someone from the crowd exclaimed, recalling that Nox had used the same skill while facing the firstborn of the Armstrong Duchy.

"But how will that help him against Hendrix?" a member of the Cromwell family stammered with an ashen expression. That man was an experienced Awakened who had ventured into the Portal in the Cromwell barony a few times. Because of his vast experience, he could easily point out the problem.

"From the look of things, Hendrix seems to be using a gravitational skill to hinder little Nox\'s movement. I don\'t think turning invisible will help him in this situation."

"You\'re right. I\'ve faced a couple of Assassin-type Awakened in the past, and one thing I realized is that they could still get hurt if you know where they are."

This was the consensus among the experienced Awakened and the barons.

But they were wrong!

[Phantom\'s Cloak activated!]

[Phantom\'s Cloak Description (Ultimate Skill): The user becomes completely invisible for up to 5 minutes. While in this state, they gain a +10 increase in Agility, can pass through solid objects, and gain the ability to turn any object invisible. MP Cost: 20 MP to activate, plus -5 MP per second activated. Cooldown: 3 minutes]

\'I hope Phantom\'s Cloak will work against this strange force,\' Nox thought, but a grimace soon crossed his face. Though he could still feel the strain of Aegis Burst, it was much more tolerable. He didn\'t know why, but he figured it was probably because he was in an incorporeal state and had additional stats added to his agility.

\'Alright, let\'s do this,\' Nox thought and moved from his spot.

A brief gleam of confusion flickered in Hendrix\'s eyes when he saw Nox vanish into thin air. Before he could fully register everything, a red line flashed through the air, followed by a fountain of blood.

Hendrix\'s eyes shrank as he looked at his chest, now split open slightly and dripping with blood.

Then another line flashed horizontally through the air, creating yet another gash on Hendrix\'s chest, spilling even more blood onto the ground, which was quickly washed away by the heavy downpour of rain.

Confusion and brief worry appeared on Hendrix\'s previously confident face. He was no fool. He knew Nox had somehow turned invisible, and this was no good sign. Hendrix felt exposed in the presence of his unseen opponent. What was worse was that the duration of Aegis Burst had come to an end.

Still keeping the golden glow on his gauntlet active, Hendrix took a fighting stance and scanned the area, though his vision was slightly blurry due to blood loss and rain.

\'Damn it,\' Hendrix cursed in frustration. The heavy downpour made it hard for him to detect Nox. Usually, Awakened with invisibility-type skills made sounds, and experienced fighters could detect them.

But with this chaotic downpour, it was nearly impossible to detect any sound. Blood dripped from Hendrix\'s chest, blending into the puddles below, as the familiar red screen announcing HP loss glimmered in his vision.

\'I need to find a way to draw him out.\'

Meanwhile, still invisible, Nox continued to circle Hendrix. \'I need to find the right spot to use this skill,\' he thought, looking at the dagger in his hands. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he focused on Hendrix, who was desperately searching for any sign of him. Through his visor, Nox saw Hendrix\'s eyes.

The fury in them bordered on desperation.

Seeing this sight, Nox declared in a confidence voice: "I need to strike somewhere fatal... then it will all be over!"

Thanks to all those who support supreme BeastTamer with their valuable Golden tickets and power stones, I I really appreciate.
