They all call me Great Master
Chapter 920 - 917: Assassin's Battle III

When the dagger made of shadows pierced into the lower back of 'Blood Shadow's Thorn' Renock, the Assassin Master was exhilarated.

Because the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

His two opponents had finally taken the bait.

He could hardly restrain himself from laughing out loud.

Ever since Eivor appeared, he had been waiting for this moment.

Waiting for Eivor to use his shadow to assassinate him.

He would go with the flow.

And then?

Of course, he would counterattack directly.

But almost immediately, the Assassin Master sensed something amiss.

Because——

Pain!

His body, modified by shadows, was supposed to be immune to pain.

Or rather...

When facing an invasion from his own shadow, he was immune.

Not only immune, but he could also counter the opponent.

After attacking the secret base of 'Shadowflow' and obtaining a large number of 'Shadowflow' secret techniques, this Assassin Master had been pondering how to counter 'Shadowflow' backlash.

Then, he invented this secret technique.

It was called 'Shadow Stream. Devour'.

But...

The Assassin Master looked down at his shadow, which was not under control, and then at the shadow of the building beside him.

The shadow, which should have been uniform and short, became a slender dagger. This change lengthened the shadow, perfectly piercing him.

"Why?"

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' questioned Eivor.

"I'm not an idiot.

You obtained so many secret techniques from your base, how could you not study them? And with your talent, it's only a matter of time before you research shadow modification and shadow backlash.

Fortunately, you have plenty of time.

So, I am sure you've reached this level, then of course I'd use a little trickery.

You're asking about changing the shadow's shape?

Isn't that easy to do?

You weren't really affected by the so-called 'shadow range', right?

Shouldn't the shadow's range be controlled by the 'Master of Shadowflow'?

Sorry!

I forgot, you're not the 'Master of Shadowflow'.

Oh right, you're not yet the 'Master of Bloodflow' either."

Eivor chuckled, explaining to 'Blood Shadow's Thorn'.

The words were filled with Eivor's unique chatty nature.

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' was so provoked that his breath became rapid.

"Deep breaths! Dizziness is normal!

Truly terrifying physique.

To be able to endure so long after being stabbed by 'Shadow Power'... Should I say you truly deserve the title of 'King of Assassins'?

This physique is even more powerful than a warrior's.

But why did you forget the assassin's best skill 'overcome the strong with the weak'?

I guess you don't want to?

After all, you are the 'King of Assassins', how could you forget the essence of an assassin?"

Eivor's little mouth rambled on.

'Blood Shadow's Thorn's' breathing became more rapid, and then——

Round! A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

But before the fresh blood hit the ground, it dissipated.

Absorbed by 'Spider Silk'.

Acker, holding the 'Spider Silk', looked calm.

But Eivor's mouth didn't stop.

"You're thinking of using 'Blood Flow. Burst'?

You're truly ruthless to use such a mutual destruction move.

But don't forget, we're two people, and Acker is the real 'Master of Bloodflow', don't think you have a chance, right?

No, you don't!"

Eivor restrained his teasing demeanor, looked seriously at the Assassin Master in front of him, and said word by word——

"The moment you met us, not choosing to do your utmost to eliminate Acker, your failure was already sealed.

You forgot your teacher's first lesson——

In any confrontation, one must do their utmost.

Even a lion when facing a rabbit does so.

Not to mention, the lion's attendant?"

With that, Eivor raised his left hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap!

A crisp sound.

Shadows intertwined.

The shadows within the entire alley came alive at this moment, dodging 'Blood Shadow's Thorn's' leverage, they sealed off 'Blood Shadow's Thorn's' escape route.

They even, with exceedingly unique power, isolated 'Blood Shadow's Thorn's' 'Ascending Stairs'.

When this power was isolated, 'Blood Shadow's Thorn's' heart truly fell into despair.

"You?!"

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' glared angrily at Eivor.

This small mobile food stall vendor of South Los curled his lips.

"What about the rumor that 'War Elephant' can catch a 12-pound cannonball with bare hands and easily lift a four-wheeled carriage, donned in three layers of heavy armor, rampaging on the battlefield of the Seven Years' War? You didn't really believe it, did you?

You, 'War Elephant', 'Mechanism Master', in our assassin's eyes, are regarded only by 'Ascending' standards.

Or are you curious about this technique?

The secret of 'Shadowflow'.

'Shadow Great Seal'!

What? Want to learn?

I'm not teaching you!"

Eivor, like a llama, spat wildly at 'Blood Shadow's Thorn'.

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' wanted to counterattack, but it was in vain.

The 'Spider Silk' he dreamed of was now inserted into his body, rapidly melting his organs, bones, and muscles, then transmitting them, along with his blood, back into Acker's body.

Visible to the naked eye, the wrinkles on Acker's face began to diminish, his body more vital, and the gleam in his eyes grew brighter.

Most importantly, his aura was on the rise.

But quickly, it became hidden.

No!

Instead, this power was being concentrated.

The biggest difference between a thief and an assassin lies here.

Both need to hide themselves at all times.

But at critical moments, the assassin is not stingy about revealing his edge.

As for the thief?

He runs away.

"You just said, the teacher asked you to give me the title of 'Master of Bloodflow' in three years, is it true or false?"

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' felt death.

Unlike before, this time the death stemmed from himself.

He glimpsed his own demise.

And before dying, he didn't want regrets.

"False!

Of course, it's false!

It was just to unsettle your mind!"

Eivor quickly said.

But 'Blood Shadow's Thorn' looked at Acker.

Acker nodded.

"It's true.

I diverted the trackers for you, that's real too.

But...

I also don't know if I would willingly give you the title of 'Master of Bloodflow', even if the teacher ordered me to."

Acker said quite honestly.

'Blood Shadow's Thorn' was stunned.

Then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha..."

The laughter was loud but soon weakened, then muted.

Finally, only a human skin was left.

Eivor watched Acker put away the human skin, all the while grumbling——

"You 'Bloodflow' masters, are you always this devoid of feeling?

But still, you're not as perverted as those old jerks from 'Shadowflow'.

Those bastards used the excuse of training my 'Assassin's Heart' to make me get close to a ten-year-old girl, and then I had to break all her limbs and then [censor] her.

And that girl was an innocent I saved in a previous mission, who trusted me greatly, like an older brother.

Damn it."

Eivor said, starting to curse.

"What happened then?"

Acker knew Eivor was comforting him in his own way, but he was a bit curious about Eivor's method of revenge.

"I knocked them out, stripped them naked, and locked them up with a big dog that had been drugged with a potent aphrodisiac.

Then, I sealed the base.

After all, they were seen as dog fuckers."

Eivor stated quite seriously.

Acker thought for two seconds, nodded, and agreed that Eivor was right.

"Well done."

Then, the two exchanged a smile and quickly walked towards the Lion Palace.

Their task was not over.

They'd only completed half of it.

What remained was the other half——

'Mechanism Master'!
