Her face was as cold as always, keeping people at bay. Across from her, her opponent today was the very assassin defeated by Long Kongkong yesterday, completely covered in a grey cloak.
Assassins naturally counter all magic professions. Though summoners fare a bit better, mages and priests are significantly restrained. The high speed, concealment, and explosive power of assassins pose a great threat to mages.
"Five, four, three, two, one, start."
As the referee announced, the figure of the assassin disappeared on the spot.
This was an 8th Rank assassin. He had used his Spirit Palisade in his match with Long Kongkong yesterday. At this level, an assassin's explosive power was unmatched. With the mage's weak defensive power, once he gets close, there is almost no chance to resist.
