When they saw that the enemy was just a Dragonborn Assassin, Luca and Sophia both breathed a sigh of relief.
The Dragonborn Assassin's strength was nothing remarkable.
Luca had even managed to defeat a Blood Dragon on his own; naturally, taking out a Dragonborn Assassin shouldn't have been a problem.
Without hesitation, he launched an attack on the Dragonborn Assassin.
But this time, his strike didn't land.
The Dragonborn Assassin slipped into the shadows, evading Luca's blow.
"You can shadow-step too? You're not just some ordinary assassin!"
For the first time, Luca's expression turned serious.
He realized his opponent was no ordinary Dragonborn Assassin—this was someone he absolutely could not underestimate.
Even as the words left his mouth, the Dragonborn Assassin shadow-stepped again, appearing right behind him.
In an instant, the poisoned dagger in the assassin's hand sliced across Luca's back.
A sharp sting shot through Luca.
