Stealth, backstabbing, kidney strike, and even the Shadow Raid skill, were all successfully countered by the opponent, forcing him to use many of his life-saving skills in the subsequent attacks.
Watching how effortlessly the opponent handled it all made Sinker recall the times when his mentor taught him assassin combat techniques.
It was rather unbelievable!
Was that young man really a Gold-level Warrior?
Sinker somewhat regretted not retreating right away; this was the first time he encountered a situation where a warrior controlled the entire combat scenario like this.
At that moment, Sinker had already started considering a strategic retreat.
Although he really wanted to complete the mission, he had become aware of the situation now.
With Lis's protection, it was certain that he could not kill that elf this time.
But no matter, after all, he was an assassin—a setback like this was not a big deal.
