Translator: 549690339
Duke Landilus followed behind, applying various skills in an attempt to intercept Su Yu.
However, for a cumbersome warrior, the idea of catching up with a nimble rogue was nothing short of a fantasy.
The assassin’s [Shadow Step] ability allows him to instantly teleport behind any target within 40 meters. Additionally, after the 6th tier, [Shadow Step] almost nas no cooldown time.
Using this skill, Su Yu wove through the crowd of players, cutting down his enemies. The only thing the Duke could do was eating his dust.
Of course, Landilus wasn’t a fool.
After chasing for a dozen seconds and realizing he couldn’t catch up, he stopped pursuing.
Suddenly, it dawned on him, “Why am I chasing this adventurer from another world? My purpose here is to capture Princess Alyssa. Why not just grab Alyssa? Why am I competing with this outsider?”
Landilus realized he had been misled by Antondidas. Could it be that Antondidas was a traitor sent by the enemy?
However, he didn’t think much about it, instead he took off from the spot and flew in the direction of Princess Alyssa.
Now it was Su Yu’s turn to feel the pressure.
There was no one particularly strong near the princess who could hold off Landilus.
If the Princess was captured, the battle would be lost!
So, Su Yu quickly abandoned the idea of collecting experience points.
He used [Shadow Step] to instantly teleport behind Landilus, pulling out a thick wooden club and swinging it at the back of his head. This is a signature skill of the rogue class—[Concussion Blow], which can cause the enemy to be stunned for an extended period of time.
But at that moment.
“Hey! ”
Landilus roared, and a strong blood-red light burst forth from his body, and a new buff appeared on him.
[Unstoppable (Legend)]: Immune to all crowd control effects for one minute, countdown 00:59.
Su Yu’s [Concussion Blow] hit Landilus in the back of the head, but it didn’t have any control effect on him.
Landilus counterattacked with a [Sword Draw Slash]. The pale blade of his sword cut across Su Yu’s abdomen, causing a profuse amount of blood to spill. His health points dropped by two-thirds instantly.
Fortunately, Su Yu was able to use [Shadow Step] in time to escape with his gravely injured body, avoiding a lethal blow.
“Humph!” Landilus glared coldly at Su Yu.
He did not pursue further, and instead continued to fly straight towards Princess Alyssa.
Princess Alyssa stood next to the fallen battle airship, her face deathly pale.
All her generals were held back by the enemy, and Landilus was closing in on her. She was completely cornered.
She couldn’t help but recall Nemesis’s words, he had once said that she would be the ultimate victor.
“What a liar,” the princess closed her eyes in despair.
But just then, a figure in black armor, bloodstained in the abdomen, suddenly appeared behind her.
“It’s Nemesis!” The princess saw a flicker of hope in her desperate situation.
“Nemesis, are you okay?” The princess quickly turned around to help Su Yu.
But Su Yu pushed her hand away, managing a weak smile: “Your Highness, stand behind me, I’ll protect you.”
“Ding, Princess Alyssa’s favorability for you increases by 3, favorability level has increased to ‘Note’.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining 5 World Prestige points.”
Su Yu ignored these game prompts, now was not the time to care about these things.
He quickly changed his equipment.
Under the power of the scroll, Su Yu transformed into a priest dressed in a pure white robe and holding a golden staff.
“[Desperate Prayer]!”
“[Mind Control]!”
After Su Yu transformed, he immediately used the Priest’s ultimate instant healing skill [Desperate Prayer] to restore his health to full.
Then he raised his staff, and let loose the Priest’s signature skill [Mind Control], aiming directly at Landilus who was less than thirty meters away from Alyssa.
The priest’s [Mind Control] skill isn’t purely a control skill. It can directly invade and manipulate the enemy’s thoughts. This doesn’t fall into the scope of control effects, so Landilus’s [Unstoppable] cannot provide immunity.
Under Su Yu’s continuous casting, Landilus’s figure gradually came to a halt.
His thoughts got invaded, causing severe pain in his brain and his muscles started disobeying orders.
Helpless, he could only close his eyes and try to shake off the invasion of Su Yu’s consciousness.
Landilus’s level was 77, and Su Yu’s level was 75 after transformation.
Therefore, Su Yu couldn’t invade Landilus’s consciousness for long. His spell would lose its effect after at most 10 seconds.
Helpless, Su Yu could only shout at Cat Morning Star in the star realm in the sky, “Morning Star, hurry up and help! I can’t hold on much longer!” General Shuhe, the rugged warrior, was of no help;
Xi Fan had fully merged into the shadows, to the point where even her silhouette was no longer visible;
So Su Yu could only hope for assistance from Morning Star, to help the princess escape her predicament.
Fortunately, there was an immediate response from Morning Star.
Roar!
Amidst a crisp dragon roar, a dazzling starlight seemingly teleported beside Princess Alyssa.
Morning Star carried the princess on her back, quickly flying towards the horizon.
This was Morning Star’s last resort escape skill[Star Realm Transition], which could teleport to the princess’s side and help her escape.
Morning Star had been waiting for the moment to use this skill, and now it was finally the do-or-die time.
The starlight transformed by Morning Star had flown several kilometers away with the princess in a blink of an eye.
But Walnut, who had been fighting with Morning Star all this time, was no pushover.
“Order of Yin and Yang, fluctuating fate, let this butterfly fire guide thy path.” Walnut quickly formed seals with both hands.
After forming the seals, a hazy fog flew from her fingertips, flashing towards Morning Star’s body and directly drilling in.
“[Rebirth Mark]?! Damn it!”
Upon hearing Walnut’s spell, Morning Star knew that it was the ultimate subsequent move of the Taoist profession [Rebirth Mark].
She had no grudge with Walnut, so why did Walnut want to kill her?
“[Rebirth Mark]?!” Hearing Morning Star’s voice, Su Yu was also taken aback.
[Rebirth Mark], Su Yu had heard about this in his previous life.
Only a handful of top Taoist NPCs possess this spell.
When used on a player, it can directly zero out their level, empty their backpack, and turn them into a “newcomer” status.
Everything starts all over again, hence termed as “Rebirth”.
The effect on NPCs isn’t clear, but the punishment certainly won’t be light.
After releasing the [Rebirth Mark], Walnut’s exhaustion was severe.
She couldn’t even maintain her flying state. Instead, she landed on the ground, panting heavily.
Her strength plummeted greatly, dropping from seventh order directly to fifth order, with only a fraction of her overall strength left.
Things were even worse on Morning Star’s side.
The [Rebirth Mark] took effect quickly, exploding inside Morning Star’s body after two breaths.
Morning Star’s huge body swayed violently in the air. She began to lose strength to hold onto the Dragon Form, let alone flying in the sky.
After another dozen seconds, her Dragon Form vanished.
Morning Star reverted to her small white and blue cat form, and fainted, falling from the sky..
