Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 317 A Bizarre Profession: Can You Just Leave Whenever You Want?

Chapter 317 A Bizarre Profession: Can You Just Leave Whenever You Want?

A look of surprise flashed in the assassin's eyes, but the two were too close, and he couldn't dodge the death ripples at all.

As the death ripple struck, the assassin's body, which had been in stealth, was immediately revealed.

The skeletal spears from the Ark struck the assassin once more, like shooting stars.

A horrific wound appeared on the assassin trainee's head, and his figure instantly disintegrated.

However, Fang Zhou suddenly had a bad feeling. Just as Fang Zhou made his move, the scene appeared and the main screen immediately switched.

The lightning-fast exchange between Ark and the Assassin immediately drew everyone's attention.

A duel between masters is always the most captivating, no matter the time.

Meanwhile, Ark made a new move on the field.

"Bone Shield!"

Just as Ark had predicted, the moment he activated the Bone Shield...

With a clang of weapons, the assassin's stealth attack was immediately blocked by the bone shield.

Ark flapped its wings twice to get away from the assassin behind it, and then fired another bone spear.

"boom--"

The assassin's figure vanished once more.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhou immediately used his skeletal wings to jump back, his body instantly retreating dozens of yards, and he flashed behind a large tree.

Then an assassin appeared again, his dagger falling into empty air once more.

This time, the assassin trainee did not go into stealth mode. Instead, he gripped his dagger, stared intently at the ark, and moved slowly.

"Phantom Assassin".

Fangzhou slowly uttered a few words.

He just killed two phantom puppets.

This is the rarest and most elusive of all assassin-type professions.

Because of the existence of phantom puppets, it is easy to deceive people.

Although its attack power isn't high, its survivability is absolutely top-notch, making it extremely difficult to kill.

Fangzhou wasn't paying attention at first, and both of his attacks instantly killed the opponent's phantom puppets.

The two exchanged cautious glances, especially the Phantom Assassin trainee.

Since his awakening, he had always been invincible in sparring with his peers, and this was the first time he had encountered such a powerless situation.

Although his phantom puppet's attributes weren't high, it still possessed most of his own attributes, yet it was instantly killed by the opponent's spear.

The sheer amount of damage he witnessed sent shivers down his spine.

Although his rare profession is strange, it doesn't increase his attack or defense much.

If you were hit by a spear, you'd probably be killed instantly.

Meanwhile, in the arena, the main screen was replaying the scene from earlier, but in slow motion.

Because of the replay, their afterimages can also be seen when they are sneaking around.

"As expected of Ark, they detected a lurking assassin just from a small broken branch in the distance. That's incredibly cautious," Liu Diewu exclaimed.

Many spectators did not understand.

In their view, couldn't the broken branch be enough to determine if there was an assassin?

They can figure it out too.

Liu Diewu explained, "You can notice that tiny broken branch because the camera deliberately gave it a close-up."

It's like you're focusing on this point.

But don't forget, there are many other noises in the jungle.

As you can see, the environment is harsh. You can be instantly killed by a Black Iron-level monster if you're not careful. You need to pay attention to the environment around you at all times.

If it were you in that situation, would you be able to notice a small broken branch and conclude there was an assassin?

Everyone suddenly realized that this was indeed the case; when humans focus on one thing, they tend to ignore other things.

It's like they focus on close-up shots but ignore the background noise.

"Both of them were incredibly talented, it was fantastic, absolutely fantastic."

This Phantom Assassin must be one of the top experts among the other military academy participants.

"That's how we got so close to the Ark," Lu Renjia said.

Some quick-thinking spectators have already begun searching for the identity of this assassin student.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the battlefield.

"As expected of the only apprentice to advance to the next level in the competition, your strength is indeed remarkable." The Phantom Assassin student brandished his dagger and said coldly.

"Now that you know, please offer up your points."

Fang Zhou smiled and slowly raised the necromancer orb in his hand.

This is truly something I've never seen before.

This is the first opposing trainee to dare to take the initiative and attack him since the start of the recruit skills competition.

He should be thoroughly humiliated and made a target to establish his authority!

"Arrogant."

The Phantom Assassin student was somewhat annoyed; since acquiring the rare profession, there had been no student he couldn't assassinate.

However, when they encountered Ark, they couldn't even force him to use his key skills.

Those originally ordinary skills, in Fangzhou's hands, had a magical quality, as if they had been transformed from the ordinary into the extraordinary.

"Click—"

Upon seeing Ark cast the spell, the Phantom Assassin trainees instinctively moved towards the nearest large tree on their left to avoid it.

But he had only taken two steps when he was bound by skeletal shackles that appeared out of nowhere.

"Whoosh—" The skeletal spears of the Ark flew out.

"The Phantom Veil!"

Instantly, the Phantom Assassin's Phantom Veil skill removed the control and magic effects, and disengaged him from combat.

The instant he was out of combat, he rolled into stealth mode, dodging the Ark's skeletal spears.

"Is that all you know how to do?"

The voice of the Phantom Assassin student suddenly came from behind the Ark.

"you guess."

Fang Zhou showed no intention of turning around. He knew that this kind of trick of controlling the direction of sound was an assassin's specialty.

"You won't be so lucky this time."

The Phantom Assassin's voice came from the left side of the Ark again.

"Are you ready? Watch me take you down in a second."

"I have to admit you're very strong, but the outcome of this battle is already decided," Fangzhou said.

"You're right, the outcome of this battle is already decided," the Phantom Assassin student retorted without backing down.

However, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

He knew that after the initial raid failed, he had little chance of dealing with the Ark.

Therefore, he didn't want to get entangled with Fang Zhou any longer.

In any case, as a Phantom Assassin at the mid-level of the apprentice rank, the fact that he could leave and come as he pleased in front of Ark, who was at the upper-level of the apprentice rank, was enough for him to establish his authority among all the participating students.

"You're lucky this time. I'll be keeping an eye on you every second."

Ark, next time I collect your points, make sure you don't die at the hands of someone else.

The Phantom Assassin's voice carried a hint of resentment and threat before disappearing into the air.

Fangzhou slowly raised the necromancer orb, looked at the obvious soul points in the soul vision, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid this is beyond your control."

You're quite good; you managed to hold out against me for so long. I'm proud of myself.
