Out of nowhere, the two sides noticed that a beautiful girl was standing between them.
Her silhouette slowly appeared on the small river's shore, with her back facing the two Dream Guardians and a calm expression on her face.
Marvin felt that this girl was rather familiar.
But he didn't recognize her.
'These crimson eyes…'
Marvin seemed to notice something.
But she already inquired once more, "These two are your enemies?"
"Hey," Swift impatiently said, "Mortal, if you don't want to die, you better not get involved in our matters."
"Although I'm not fond of killing women, if you're thinking of interfering with our orders, hmpf."
Killing intent flashed in the girl's eyes. "I understand, they are your enemies."
Marvin curiously asked, "Who are you?"
The girl tilted her head and suddenly asked back, "Is this important?"
Marvin froze.
This girl who appeared so suddenly seemed very strange.
He laughed a bit before remarking, "How could this not be important? After all, I don't seem to know you."
The girl let out a calm "Oh".
She then disappeared.
The two Guardians on the other side of the river frowned.
Wayn suddenly shouted, "Careful!"
The space around them seemed to distort!
"Didn't expect you to have a helper, brat!" Swift sneered, still looking composed. "You want to injure me with this level of sneak attack?"
Not only did he not fall back, but he even advanced instead, a green Divine Spell bursting out from his hand.
A large amount of sparkling green light formed an impenetrable barrier.
In that split second, Marvin noticed the space being sealed.
It would prevent any space-shifting skills from working!
'No good.'
Marvin's heart sank.
Regardless of the circumstances, that girl was helping him. It wouldn't be good if she was injured by the two Dream Guardians.
But just as he was about to go help her, a strange scene played out.
Under the green light, that girl's silhouette suddenly appeared, looking a bit sluggish, like she was being blocked by something.
Swift snickered in amusement.
But his grin froze right away.
The girl's silhouette moved on and passed through the barrier!
Swift paled!
Wayn also failed to react, perhaps because they had been quite confident in the effectiveness of the Divine Spell.
Legend laws were indeed ineffective, but why was the Divine Spell ineffective?
But they had no time to think about it.
The girl was holding short but fierce daggers in her hands. She didn't look fast, but she had an overbearing rhythm.
She suddenly appeared in front of Swift.
The girl abruptly raised her head and Swift felt numb at the sight!
She was holding a dagger in her mouth!
She looked like a callous machine, emitting an icy aura.
That kind of killing intent… Who knew how many people she had to kill to develop it to that extent?
This simply couldn't exist in a girl so young.
The Dream Guardians had gone on expeditions to various places for many years, including the Crimson Wasteland, the Abyss Battlefield, and other places to fight. An endless number of lifeforms died at their hands!
But in spite of all that, they couldn't cultivate such a terrifying killing intent, and were intimidated by the feeling exuded by that girl.
In fact, it wasn't just them. It even shook Marvin, who had been just about to make a move to help her.
He glanced at his interface and saw that the killing intent had caused a willpower check that didn't have a range!
Even Marvin, who had very high willpower, had been disturbed.
'Who is this girl?'
'Why is she helping me? And why are her pupils… Could it be…? But the age doesn't match!
Marvin hesitated.
In a flash, the girl was already slashing at Swift.
At that critical moment, the powerful Dream Guardian managed to display his tenacity.
He forcibly passed the willpower check, and although his body was still stiff, he managed to draw his sword and ruthlessly slash back at the girl!
The two of them were too close, and it didn't look like dodging the blows would be possible.
"Swish!"
This was the sound of a sharp dagger piercing a heart.
Wayn was looking at the girl's lightning-fast movement, feeling startled and angry.
With phantom-like speed, she pierced Swift's heart, throat, and the back of his head with the three daggers!
After landing her attack successfully, the girl retreated from the range of the radiance of the two Dream Guardians' Divine Spell.
She looked coldly at Swift.
That outstanding Dream Guardian could only open his eyes wide as his knees slowly went limp.
He died with a grievance!
This was the best description.
Wayn now had a fearful expression.
"You… You are the Winter Assassin?"
Wayn was so scared that his voice was unsteady!
Winter Assassin was a very famous name in the God Realms!
As one of the founders of the Assassin Alliance, that person had been even more famous than the wretched Shadow Prince!
It was said that he had ambushed a God when he was at his peak!
Although the ambush ultimately failed to kill off the target completely, the God ended up with severe injuries and the God Realm soon collapsed.
There were rumors that the Winter Assassin was colluding with the Anzed Witches and Devils, and that he had obtained an immense power from them.
That was a well-known legend in Feinan. But after setting up the Assassin Alliance, he gradually vanished from sight and retired.
But because of that [God Ambush] event, the God Realms attached a lot of importance to the Winter Assassin.
All kinds of signs suggested that this guy was still alive, just hiding.
Dream Guardians like Swift and Wayn naturally knew a bit about it.
That killing intent could instantly make people feel as if they had stepped into the harshest winter.
It was something that perhaps only the rumored Winter Assassin could accomplish.
After all, in this land, they were powerhouses only second to the Divine Servants!
Facing Wayn's loss of self-control, the girl turned and surprisingly revealed a very brilliant smile. "What do you think?"
Wayn ground his teeth and looked at Marvin, before looking at Swift's corpse on the ground. He remained silent and abruptly sprinted away!
Marvin simply looked dumbstruck.
Wasn't that girl too fierce?
She quickly and efficiently chopped down a Dream Guardian!?
"Who are you in the end? You definitely aren't the Winter Assassin," Marvin said, feeling absolutely certain about that.
The girl blinked. "You really don't recognize me?"
"Sir Masked Twin Blades."
