Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Meeting with the AssassinYe Yuxuan knew she was late, muttering under her breath as she commanded the Sword Saint to lead the army in a charge.

    Having been forewarned that those three lords possessed equipment capable of disregarding the competition rules to kill lords, she cautiously stayed at the rear.

    On Tang Xichen’s side, she also followed at the back of the army, which was unlike her usual style.

    Only Rosen charged at the very front of the army, risking himself to see what those lord-killing items were about.

    "One is the Devil Legion, the other is the Insect Race army, and the evil Vampire Legion."

    Rosen was at the forefront and quickly observed the types of armies beneath the opposing three lords.

    At this time, the enemy’s three armies were arranged into three formations, separated from each other.

    The total number came to 5000.

    However, the combined forces under Rosen, Tang Xichen, and Ye Yuxuan added up to 8000, enough to overwhelm the enemy in numbers.

    Rosen immediately noticed that the opposing army included a fair number of level-four units, making up about ten percent; among them, one lord had upgraded their barracks to level-four.

    The level-three units accounted for approximately twenty percent, with level-two units being the most common.

    "Level-two units are their main force, but my three-thousand-strong Beastman Legion consists almost entirely of level-three units!"

    Before the two armies clashed, a massive Holy Light orb, like a meteor, descended from the sky.

    Boom!

    It hit the very center of the enemy forces, its explosion spanning a hundred meters; within the twenty-meter radius center, thirty of the enemy’s level-one units immediately lost a tenth of their health, while even the level-two units lost a twentieth of their health.

    "Huh? So weak!" Rosen was somewhat surprised.

    This was the first time he used an area attack skill during the competition and knew his attributes were suppressed to the weakest contestant’s level. He just didn’t expect that the weakest contestant could be so feeble.

    Weaker than Xu Chen by far.

    "In these times, even a C-grade Hero Lord has the courage to join the competition? Look at how much my Golden Holy Dragon is suppressed." Rosen sighed, yet continued to unleash the Holy Light orbs upon the enemy ground.

    Regardless of its weakened state, his attack was equivalent to the damage of a level-two unit, and with its hundred-meter wide area effect, it could be considered as powerful as a level-four unit.

    Despite his continued bombardment, over a hundred enemy soldiers were still eliminated, the killing speed faster than even his army during brief engagements.

    Yet as the battle continued, the killing speed of his forces matched Rosen’s pace.

    "The enemy’s units do not include any that can regenerate health, giving us a great advantage."

    The Beastman Wizard under Rosen weaved in and out of the army, selectively healing the injured troops, while Ye Yuxuan on the human side used her powerful healing skills to quickly heal hundreds of soldiers.

    Not to mention Rosen’s Holy Light orbs themselves had the ability to drain life from others and replenish his troops, thus causing minimal casualties for Rosen’s Beastman Legion.

    This was why Rosen continued to use the Holy Light orbs.

    If it wasn’t for this decisive attack, he wouldn’t need to reveal his Golden Holy Dragon’s skills.

    In the distance.

    The three other Assassin Lords clearly noticed the extraordinary strength of Rosen’s Beastman Legion.

    "My Vampire forces suffered heavy losses, yet the Beastman Legion they faced remained unscathed, how bizarre!"

    "Are you certain they remained unscathed, not merely suffered fewer casualties? Bear in mind they are mostly level-three units, and they have a healer among them."

    "It’s been five minutes since the battle began, and not a single Beastman has fallen. His confidence in charging ahead must stem from this. What means is he using to achieve this?"

    "It’s the Holy Light orb!" the leader among the three said. "The moment it lands, the Beastman Legion is enveloped in a healing green light; perhaps that is the skill of that Beastman Lord!"

    Upon hearing this, the three lords turned their attention to Rosen at the forefront.

    "If that guy is so difficult to deal with, the three of us should gang up on him directly and eliminate him early!"

    "Eliminate? Use the boss’s mysterious equipment to kill him instead!"

    "No, my equipment can only kill one person a day, that’s its restriction. It must be reserved to kill Tang Xichen!"

    As they observed Rosen’s might and prepared to gank him,

    Rosen also noticed the three of them in the distance, his expression changing: "So quickly we meet, time for a surprise for them then!"

    Ascending Dragon!

    Rosen vanished instantly, soaring to ten thousand meters in the sky.

    "Hm? He disappeared!"

    "What happened, I only saw a shadow flicker, and the person vanished?"

    Just as the three of them were astonished, another shadow suddenly plummeted from above!

    Rosen appeared right before them.

    Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three Assassin Lords turned noticeably grim.

    "Was that your innate ability just now?"

    Ascending high and then descending rapidly to appear before the target, such an impressive ability must be a skill without a doubt, yet they saw Rosen had already used the Holy Light orb. Each hero can only awaken one skill, with others being innate abilities.

    The difference being that skills get enhanced effects and most have cooldown periods.

    In their view, had "Ascending Dragon" been a skill, landing would have caused damage, but no damage occurred, so it must be an innate ability.

    They hadn’t considered the possibility that Rosen might wield the ability to use multiple skills.

    "You three, are you the other Assassins?" Rosen said the moment he met them.

    The trio’s expressions changed once more.

    "How did you see through us?"

    The revelation of their identities by Rosen triggered a murderous intent toward him in the three.

    But they couldn’t kill Rosen immediately, as that might lead to him being eliminated first, with the risk of him snitching on them.

    "Now that you’ve discovered us, we’ll have to restrain you first, complete the task, then kill you!"

    "Task? What’s your task?" Rosen asked again.

    "Do you think we need to answer that question? Kid, you’re not qualified to know!"

    "You don’t have to say, I know, the task is to kill Tang Xichen, right? You possess equipment that can ignore the rules and kill Tang Xichen. This time, you intend to eliminate Tang Xichen, the outstanding prodigy of the Central Plains, during the competition without arousing suspicion!"

    Rosen spoke with shocking clarity, and as he finished, the expressions of the three foreign Assassin Lords completely changed!

    "So, kid, who the hell are you? Tang Xichen’s bodyguard?" Sёarch* The N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The three lords had become thoroughly alert, dispersing and assuming defensive stances.

    Rosen’s sudden appearance was already a significant variable for them, especially since he could accurately reveal their secret mission, a truly frightening matter.

    Speaking it aloud showed Rosen’s fearlessness, possibly even having the means to kill all three of them on the spot.

    They couldn’t help but be cautiously vigilant.
