The special G-class monster hunter and assassination master, [Stinging Pickman], was originally an extremely mysterious figure.
As his name suggests, he is the best monster hunter who uses toxins and various assassination methods to deal with monsters. Rumor has it that tens of millions of monsters died in his hands in the Dawn Region, and these monsters did not know they were alive until they died.
How did they die? Who killed them? They just fell silently, maybe in their sleep, maybe in the poisonous fog, maybe just for a moment when they were looking for food.
Pickman is mysterious not only because he is good at assassinating Warcraft, but also because he always uses various means to hide his true identity. Some people say that he is a leopard man because of his speed; others say that he is a cat man.
, because of his agility; some people even say that he is a tiger man because of his toughness and endurance. But people's rumors are always just rumors. There are different opinions, but there has never been a real conclusion.
In fact, Pickman always wears a hood that hides his true face, covering half of his face in shadow. He even wears special magic accessories that affect cognitive abilities, which can make people who have seen his true face
It's impossible to remember his appearance. People only see a cat face that "looks like a cat man, a leopard man, and a bit like a tiger man", but they can't draw an accurate conclusion.
Pickman's artificial human replica appeared in front of Albert, but because he did not wear the kind of jewelry that affected cognition, his true face was revealed.
This guy is an extremely rare lynx.
"I see. No wonder you have to hide your identity." Albert saw Pickman's face and immediately said: "Lynx are really a rare breed, a minority among orcs. If you let people know that you are a lynx,
The lynx will probably cause a conversation, Master Pickman."
"None of this is important." Pickman's clone took out a short knife smeared with poison, like a twisted creature's claws, and hummed: "I'm just an android, the real Pickman clone. I
I don’t need to hide my head and hide my tail like that guy. As of now, I just need to complete my mission.”
"Oh, as an android, you are quite responsible." Albert smiled and said: "Where are the other replicas of the special G-class hunters? Why don't you come together? You have no chance of winning against me alone?"
"
"They are waiting for you where they should be." Assassination Master Pickman waved the dagger a few times as a warm-up exercise: "But I advise you not to underestimate me. I am enough to deal with you."
Classic villain rhetoric.
"Forget it." The young tiger man also pulled out the storm gun blade, holding both swords in his hands, and was in a battle position: "One last question before the fight begins, is the academy cat behind you?"
"No comment." Pickman said, "And you got one thing wrong: we have already started fighting."
"What? -" Only then did Albert realize that he couldn't move his arm, and there was a weak sting spreading on his elbow.
Poison...! But when did you get infected?!
What he saw was a small flash of light attached to his arm. It was an extremely small steel needle, and it was struck from an extremely tricky angle that he could not detect, and finally landed on his arm.
"Yes, meow, it was the swing of the knife just now." Albert recalled that Pickman's few light swings of the knife were not just warm-up exercises, they were meaningful. Because the speed of the swing of the knife was extremely slow, Al
Bert didn't take that action seriously. Unexpectedly, Pickman had already taken advantage of that moment to secretly launch a poisonous sharp needle from his dagger, hitting Albert.
The poison-tipped needle was probably cast under an extremely powerful concealment spell, so it was so difficult to detect. Neither the sound of its flight nor the reflected flash could be detected, even when it hit Albert's head
Neither the arm nor the tiger felt the sting immediately.
But that sharp needle contained an extremely strong poison, or an anesthetic. The numbness it produced quickly spread on the tiger man youth's arm, and had already climbed up his arm. I'm afraid it won't take much longer, then
The poison will completely occupy Albert's body, making him unable to move!
Albert suffered a similar loss last time in Lviv. He was almost certain that it was the work of the same person (or a clone of the same person). The person who attacked Albert at that time,
I'm afraid it's just another artificial human replica of Pickman!
But the tiger smiled.
"What's so funny?" Pickman asked: "The poison I specially developed can easily take down the most powerful elephant man in one minute. No creature can escape the blockade of this poison. You are poisoned, you
The defeat is an established fact."
"Yes, it was last time. But I'm not a fool. The same trick will not work on me twice." Albert sneered and replied: "You only hit a clone."
After speaking, his body disappeared like a cloud, and another Albert appeared beside him. And more Alberts appeared nearby. Together they raised the Storm Spear Blade.
"What--" Before Pickman could react, the clones of the tiger man youth raised their guns and opened fire at the same time. A series of large-caliber steel ball bullets hit the lynx man overwhelmingly, causing countless blood wounds to his body in an instant.
Kouzi.
"Hmm..." Albert walked towards Pickman who was lying there motionless. After making sure that the lynx was completely dead, he began to search Pickman's body. Sure enough, he found a bottle of antidote.
"Idiot, I lied to you." The tiger youth quickly drank the antidote, and the numbness on his arm gradually recovered.
Pickman's poisonous needle indeed hit Albert's original self, but Albert used [Phantom Red Shift] to make the original self disappear, and the clone on the side turned into the original self, making Pickman not hit at all.
At the moment when the master of assassination Pickman was deceived and stunned by the illusion of his true form, the young tiger man had already decided the winner with a powerful attack.
Of course, if he couldn't tell the winner in time, he would be the loser now. The anesthetic poison took effect very quickly, and I'm afraid he would be numb all over and unable to move in more than ten seconds.
Can this kind of battle where either you kill me instantly or I kill you instantly also be called a battle? Maybe. But all this is no longer important. Albert picked up Pickman’s poison needle dagger and hid it in his storage pocket
inside.
"So you are just a clone, and there is still a difference between you and the real Pickman." He sighed.
The brain circuits of artificial humans are probably a little different from real people. They are too... naive. No matter how similar they look, counterfeit products are still just counterfeit products.
The tiger man youth spent half a minute to relieve the numbness on his body, and then moved his hands and feet a few times. When he thought that his body was comfortable enough to fight without being affected, he finally stepped onto the steps of the Guardian Tower.
Move upward.
One floor further up, someone was already waiting for Albert on the large platform of the tower.
"Are you here?" The replica of the special G-class monster hunter and archery master [Falcon Eyes Susanna]... released her meditating posture and slowly stood up from the ground.
"You could have sneak attacked me, or besieged me with Pickman." Albert said: "So, why not? As a replica, you also pay attention to the dignity of a warrior, etc.?"
"Because there is an order from above asking us to do this. Because some people think that you should be given a chance." Susanna's clone replied, taking out her bow from behind: "Because we can't defeat you by besieging you, and this will make this person unable to win."
Everything is lost [appreciation]."
"So, someone is watching?"
"Yes, there are more people watching all this than you think."
"Is it the ancient race of gods? Or the forces of the abyss?" Albert deliberately tried to trick the other party.
"It doesn't matter what it is anymore." The replica of the archery master Susanna replied vaguely: "You will soon fall in front of me——"
Before he finished speaking, the young tiger man rushed towards Susanna at the highest speed. The Luna Steel scimitar in his hand swept across the air and struck the archer master's waist.
Susanna's replica nimbly dodged the blow, and while doing a backflip, she still had enough energy to shoot three arrows, pointing directly at the face of the tiger man youth.
Albert quickly raised his sword and swept across it, deflecting the arrows with three thuds. At the same time, he had already straightened the head of the storm gun blade, and fired continuously at Susanna in the air. The three bursts of shotguns hit dozens of
A steel ball hit Susanna in all directions where she could dodge, completely blocking the agile archery master's retreat!
Blah blah blah! However, Susanna had no intention of dodge at all. She used the long bow in her hand as a melee weapon, swung it with great vigor, and accurately and quickly deflected all the attacks of steel ball projectiles!
While blocking the attack, she took out several small flying knives with her left hand and threw them at Albert. The flying knives, which were less than the size of a finger, were covered with igniting substances. As long as they were impacted, they would turn back into sparks, causing them to burn away.
Everything they reach is set on fire! They are extremely fast and almost impossible to dodge!
But the Holy Spirit White Tiger had already appeared behind Albert. With a wave of its claws, it just collided with the flying knife. The flying knife was put into the subspace created by the Holy Spirit White Tiger, and then shot out from the opposite direction, hitting it again.
The clone of the archery master Susanna! This instant counterattack forced Susanna, who had just landed, to step sideways to dodge, but Albert had already rushed to Susanna's left side at the same time, firing with shotguns and sweeping out a knife at the same time!
However, all the attacks were in vain. What he hit was Susanna's phantom. The moment she landed, she used some kind of invisibility spell to hide her true form. She threw her cloak in the opposite direction and used
The illusion made the cloak look like the real her, and finally made Albert stupidly attack a cloak. The real her hid in the blind spot of Albert's vision, preparing to launch a sneak attack!
Ouch! That blow struck towards the back of the tiger man youth. The edge of the long bow was as sharp as a scimitar, and it aimed at Albert's spine! If the spine is destroyed, Albert will lose the ability to move!
Bang! However, the blow failed to hit. Two arms appeared behind Albert, and they accurately clamped the longbow's edge from the left and right sides. It was exactly the "empty-handed" technique! Those two arms
An arm floats in mid-air like an illusion, a conjuration of his [Partial Dispatch Technique]!
"Sorry, checkmate!" Albert raised the Luna Steel scimitar with the other arm behind his back and slashed, killing the replica of the special G-class hunter and archery master [Falcon Eyes Susanna] in one blow.
