Chapter 6 Death Point One

  "You stinky little brat, I'll remember you! Just wait till I'm reborn, and you'll be the one who's in trouble!" The earthworm assassin let out a series of angry roars, its massive insect body refusing to fall to the ground. Before it died, it issued a death threat filled with resentment towards Su Hong.

  The assassin in the underground was very depressed, this is his first attack after reaching level 6. If he could successfully retreat after killing the Earthshaker Bull in one second, it would greatly boost their morale and they might be able to win this battle with a burst of energy. But now, because he was unexpectedly counter-killed, the whole situation has become confusing and uncertain.

  And through the blood tattoo, after taking a look at his own heroic attributes, the face of the man who transformed into a cave assassin turned even more iron-green, his teeth chattering with anger, and he had already hated Su Hong to the extreme. Because the Silent Assassin's Wisdom Blade has an attack property that permanently drains two points of intelligence from the opponent after killing them, which is equivalent to adding insult to injury for the cave assassin who was originally very short on blue.

  Just as the Nightmares' camp fell silent due to the death of the Earth Assassin, the Heaven's Glory side was jubilant and cheering, with shouts of approval filling the air.

  "Wow, that was impressive! The assassin in the cave was a seasoned veteran and a mid-lane carry hero, yet you managed to turn the tables on him. That guy must be fuming now." The young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He remembered when he first arrived at the ancient ruins battlefield, he was so nervous that even fighting against a lowly ghoulish minion made his heart skip a beat. It wasn't until after several bloody battles that he slowly got used to it.

  "Good job!" The rough and burly man who embodied the dark ranger also looked at Su Hong with new eyes. When the Earthshaking Divine Bull was killed in an instant, his heart sank, thinking that today's battle would end in defeat. But just as he was filled with regret, he didn't expect that Su Hong, whom he had always underestimated and ignored, could withstand the pressure and counterkill the opponent's earth cave assassin, greatly boosting their own morale and leaving him extremely surprised.

  "Hehe." Su Hong chuckled and didn't say much in response to the praise from the rough and bold Han, his mindset was very calm. In fact, if it weren't for the underground assassin who had used up all his skills on the Earthshaking Divine Bull, and all his skills were still cooling down, he wouldn't have been able to counterkill him either.

  At this moment, the eye man had just revived from the Life Spring Water and returned to the road below. However, after being killed once, he now looked pale, with a hint of fear in his eyes that he couldn't conceal, no longer as arrogant as before.

  As for the glasses man's terrified reaction, Su Hong was quite understanding. After all, this wasn't a game, but a real bloody massacre. Although their heroic avatars could revive in the Fountain of Life, the agonizing feeling of being brutally killed by others was something no normal person would want to experience again.

  "Come on, Strong Child, don't tell me you're not even as good as a newcomer?" The burly man turned his head and glared at him fiercely, clearly dissatisfied with his previous performance. However, thanks to Su Hong's stunning counterattack, they hadn't lost out in the previous exchange and had even gained an advantage, so he didn't scold him further, merely reminding Glasses Man to pay attention to his positioning and not get caught again.

  "Yes, Brother Li, I understand." From then on, the eyes man thoroughly behaved himself, shrunk his neck and stayed behind the defensive tower, no longer daring to move around randomly.

  "I've reached level 6, I have a big move now, who's coming with me to go on the road and kill people?" Just then, the young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt sent a signal to the crowd through his tattoo of a bloody needle.

  "Or I'll go with you." Su Hong thought for a moment, then bought a teleportation scroll from the outdoor store and teleported directly to the bottom of the Upper Road Defense Tower. The assassin who had just killed him earlier had already tasted the sweetness of permanently stealing two points of intelligence, which seemed insignificant but greatly increased his attack power as a Silent Mage with the Wisdom Blade skill. If he could kill a few more people, his output would be even higher.

  "Alright, follow me and I'll make sure you benefit." The young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt was full of confidence because his alter ego, the devil wizard, was a highly skilled magic hero with explosive abilities, especially his level 6 ultimate skill "Death Finger", which could instantly tear apart its target, leaving opponents struggling to survive and dealing massive damage.

  It can be said that in the early and mid-term, there were few heroes who could withstand a set of magic attacks from the devil wizard, let alone on the battlefield of the ancient ruins of true projection, where the power of death was terrifying to think about.

  "Kill the Void! Screw that guy!" The young man in a coffee-colored T-shirt had already circled around from the other side of the river and arrived beside Su Hong's Silent Assassin, eager to take action.

  Now on the top lane of the Night Mare side, you can see that their late-game hero Void Mask is stress-free farming and leveling up. With the bonus from taking down the Dragon Knight's first blood, he is now extremely rich, having equipped a Battle Fury Axe, with a level so high it's frightening, reaching level 8, the highest in the entire game.

  However, Su Hong shook his head after thinking for a moment and suggested: "If I were you, I would shift the blame of death to Bing Nv behind the fake mask."

  "Hah, newcomers are just newcomers, after all. Although your counter-kill earlier was quite stunning, but when it comes to controlling the battlefield situation, you're far off. You have to know that the Void Mask on the other side is their late-game hero and main source of firepower. As long as we can kill him a few times and disrupt his development rhythm, we'll have a chance to win. And as for your suggestion earlier, using my first ultimate skill on an auxiliary Ice Girl who's just a minor character? Are you kidding me?" The young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt sneered, looking down on him with disdain.

  At the same time, through the communication channel of the tattooed blood, the sneering voice of the bespectacled man also came, as if at this moment, he had regained his psychological advantage as a seasoned person.

  "If this were in a DOTA game, you definitely can't let Void Mask develop like this, the primary target to kill would naturally be Void Mask as well. But didn't you guys say that this isn't some virtual game?" Su Hong said, completely unfazed by the ridicule from others.

  "What do you mean?" The rough voice of the big man came through the communication channel, if it were before, he would not have listened to the opinion of a newcomer like him, but now Su Hong had won his respect with his stunning performance, at least he wanted to hear Su Hong's opinion before making a statement, after all, this was the first time the Devil Mage had taken the initiative to attack, and whether it succeeded or not would play a crucial role in the direction of the entire battle.

  "It's simple, the late-game hero Void Mask on the opposite side is definitely a veteran, otherwise he wouldn't be assigned to take charge of the late-game firepower output. And that cat hiding behind Ice Girl might very well be a newbie rookie." The rest of the words were not spoken by Su Hong, but through his reminder, the eyes of the three rough men lit up simultaneously, because they had already begun to understand Su Hong's strategic intentions.

  "Ah, how come I didn't think of that? The Void Mask is developing well now. Even if we kill him once, it won't have a significant impact on him, but if we can kill the Ice Girl once, I estimate that guy will be so traumatized by the terror of death that he'll never dare to come out of the base again. It's like solving a problem once and for all, permanently getting rid of one trouble!" The young man in the coffee-colored T-shirt suddenly slapped his own head and smiled slyly.

  "Listen to the silent mage, just do it!" The rough and burly man said resolutely as he thought of his own side's DOTA great god who had been scared out of his wits.

  "This method is really sinister..." The bespectacled man muttered to himself, but even he had to admit that this plan was absolutely brilliant, far better than simply killing Void once.

  There's another point to consider, which is that the Void Masquerade has a skill that allows it to rewind time and dodge attacks, whether physical or magical, with a certain probability. If they're lucky, they might even be able to dodge the Devil Wizard's attack and counterattack, making this attempt not only unsuccessful but also potentially disastrous. In comparison, taking out an Ice Maiden with lower level and HP, who doesn't have any dodging skills, would be much simpler and easier.

  As expected, upon seeing the level 6 devil mage charging out, the opposing Void Mask was taken aback and hastily activated his Spacetime Wander skill, quickly jumping to the safety of his own defensive tower, refusing to show his face again. However, he would never have thought that Tianhui's target was not him at all; this bold charge was merely meant to scare him off.

  After scaring off the Void Mask, the demon wizard let out a sinister laugh and directly pierced through, knocking the Ice Maiden to the ground with a single strike. He then swung his skull staff fiercely, striking her several times, while Su Hong's Silent Assassin burst out from the side, using Wisdom Blade to attack and deal massive damage, almost instantly taking away half of the Ice Maiden's health.

  "One Finger Death!"

  After the previous communication, the coffee-colored T-shirt young man did not show any signs of sparing his ultimate move. He directly threw the Death Pointer at the ice girl in front of him. A red light flashed, and countless terrifying blood threads suddenly appeared on the ice girl's snowy white skin, like bloody earthworms wriggling around, rapidly devouring her life energy. The mournful screams rose and fell, and the ice girl was directly tortured to death. Her entire body exploded with a loud noise, turning into fragments of flesh and blood that filled the sky.

  Just as Su Hong had expected, from that moment on, the guy who embodied the Ice Girl never appeared in Tian Hui Fang's line of sight again, clearly having been intimidated to death.
