The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 727 - SEMI-FINAL 1ST ROUND: AMAZINGYOUNGMASTERJIN VS DRAGNAR (I)

LUO JIN knew that he would be at a disadvantage in this fight. Not only was his opponent a dragon, a handicap was also sanctioned on him. What’s worse was, he had no idea what this handicap would be. But that didn’t mean that he was regretting his decision of choosing Dragnar as his opponent.

When the duke had told him the ins and outs of what would happen in the semi-finals, he didn’t hesitate to choose Dragnar as his opponent. The fact that the duke told him, and most likely that Winged Tassel guy as well - about the ’heart advantage’ meant that they were given a chance to choose whether they would subject themselves to such a handicap or not. It’s probably the Carnival’s way of being fair.

But Luo Jin didn’t choose the ’fair’ way. He freely chose to be at the disadvantaged position. So, he could give Luo Yan the best advantage. Although the other would probably disagree with his decision.

This might be a competition, but his inherent desire to give his second brother all the best things toppled his desire to win. Luo Yan earned that heart. Not being able to fully utilize it just because he didn’t get the right opponent was simply a waste of opportunity.

Although this was the choice Luo Jin made, it didn’t mean that he was giving up. Wouldn’t it be much cooler to win despite having the odds stack against him? Besides, if he won this, then, he and his brother would most likely face in the finals.

The two of them being the only ones remaining at the end was definitely the best possible outcome. And to reach that, he had to defeat this dragon.

Speaking of, as he was pondering about things, Dragnar had already closed the distance between them. The other had already raised that flame sword of his and was about to cut him off.

Luo Jin quickly shot the sword using his ice gun. His ice bullet did not faze the other’s sword. In fact, it melted. Not like he’s expecting otherwise. In fact, he just used the force of the collision so he would be catapulted backwards. Which was what happened. And as he was moving back, he fired his fire gun and used his skill [Curve Shot].

Dragnar dodged it, as expected. But since that shot would curve back like some kind of homing boomerang, he continued to fire at the other to get his attention and let him focus on the front. Which was quite effective since he was only looking at the bullets coming for him – dodging and blocking them.

As he was firing shots at the other, he could feel that there was no significant change in his stats. Meaning that the handicap that Dragnar sanctioned him with didn’t have anything to do with that. Could it be related to his skills?

He remembered his [Hailstorm] and [Meteor]. Those skills were definitely handicap-worthy. Since he wouldn’t really get notification if those two skills were disabled, the only way to know was to try to use it. But using the two skills just to confirm whether his guess was correct or not was kind of... yeah, it’s a bit stupid and rash. So, if he wanted to go that route, he had to be smart about it and not just go head on without any plan in mind.

Luo Jin secretly glanced at the bullet he shot when he used [Curve Shot]. He did it in a way as if he was only inadvertently glancing on that side. The bullet was now near Dragnar. So, he intensified his attacks, making sure that the other would only focus on things happening in front of him.

It just so happened that Dragnar blocked two bullets at the same time that the bullet from behind was about to hit him. The other didn’t have any chance to dodge it. So, Luo Jin was sure that he would be hit. But against his better judgment, Dragnar did something that subverted his expectations.

Right after blocking the two bullets, the other suddenly swung his sword to the back. He swung it in such a smooth manner that it’s almost as if he was holding a spear rather than a sword.

Luo Jin would definitely be impressed if not for the fact that he just saw the bullet that was supposed to hit Dragnar be sliced in half. And because of the momentary surprised that he felt, he didn’t immediately see Dragnar breathing fire towards his direction. When he did, the golden flames had almost reached him.

He wanted to curse. He should have already expected that things wouldn’t be that easy. This guy was his opponent after all. But it already happened. Right now, all he could do was to dodge as quickly as possible.

He dodged to the left. But his foot hadn’t even touched the floor yet when he felt a looming shadow beside him. He glanced to the side. Before he could feel surprised seeing Dragnar there just right after the other’s little flamethrower attack, his gaze was more attracted to the flaming sword that was about to swing horizontally towards him.

If he didn’t dodge it, he had no choice but to be cut in half. No matter how much high-grade potions he had, he was sure that before he could even drink one of them, he would quickly turn into light particles.

"F*ck," he cursed, quite crisply too.

To avoid the sword, Luo Jin could only do some matrix like move. He bent his body backwards. To the point that his knee and head were almost on the same straight line. This would definitely not be possible if he did this in real life. He might just break his back trying.

The flaming sword passed by him naturally. But the thing was, he noticed something very important. The height in which the sword passed by didn’t even reach his avatar’s head! Which meant even if he just stood there and did nothing, he wouldn’t be slashed!

But not only did he do something, he even performed some weird gymnastics.. Luo Jin’s whole face turned as red as a boiled shrimp at that moment.
