I Transmigrated Into a Game World as a Former Top Player

This underground chamber was much smaller than the previous one and appeared to have only one exit.

The Blight Envoy stood on a raised platform, his back turned toward the Silver Light Knight.

"You knew I would pursue you?" Gordian wasn’t a fool.

He sensed something was wrong.

Yet he didn’t retreat.

This stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own strength. It also came from his firm belief that he held the favor of the Silver God.

Divine Grace wasn’t a skill every Silver Light Knight possessed.

Not to mention the long sword in his hand, which carried a trace of divinity after being blessed by a high-ranking priest of the Silver Order.

That fragment of divinity transformed his already excellent sword into a weapon capable of bearing stronger enchantments!

Its attributes were formidable.

As a result, Gordian felt no fear.

Even if the Blight Envoy had schemes prepared, he wouldn’t escape.

After chasing this Envoy several times, always falling just short, Gordian was growing frustrated. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

His left hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

"Evasive rat, as a captain of Tanchapel’s patrol, I will deliver justice and apprehend you!"

His voice rang with righteousness.

The Blight Envoy slowly turned, his face twisted with deceit.

"Hahaha, Gordian, you are truly full of yourself."

---

This Silver Light Knight is quite clever.

If he killed or banished the Envoy purely in the name of the Silver Order, it might provoke the Blight Sovereign’s resentment. Even if the Silver God didn’t fear such a minor deity, it would still create unnecessary complications.

By acting in his official capacity as a Tanchapel guard, even if he slays the Envoy, the Blight Sovereign would have little grounds to complain.

Xander, still trailing behind, heard Gordian’s justification and gained a new level of respect for the knight.

A Silver Order member through and through. Every one of them was a shrewd operator; they understood exactly which decisions maximized their benefits.

Even this seemingly upright warrior was no exception.

Gordian sneered. "You only brought a few helpers. I’m not worried."

He took a step forward, but at that moment, two shadows suddenly leaped from both sides!

Assassins!

Both 2nd Rank!

Xander’s eyes narrowed. Not good.

Gordian is too confident! Facing such an obvious trap, he charged straight in without probing.

But thinking about it, Guardian Knights didn’t have exceptional perception. Missing stealthed assassins was normal. Detecting hidden threats without a proper Divine Spell was difficult!

Wait!

The Shadow Spider Assassin isn’t among them.

Damn! Both are using [Desperate Strike]!

Xander nearly burst from his hiding spot!

If Gordian was taken out instantly, staying here would become extremely dangerous.

Two advanced assassins using Desperate Strike!

The Blight Envoy had clearly invested heavily to eliminate Gordian. Not only hiring the Shadow Spider Assassin, but also paying for two 2nd Rank assassins.

As the two shadows were about to strike Gordian, the Silver Light Knight suddenly drew his sword!

He was left-handed, yet his posture remained exceptionally smooth!

In that split second, the blade lit up, and a silver mark condensed instantly!

[Divine Grace – Silver Protection]!

---

Seeing this Divine Spell activate, Xander immediately felt relieved.

Gordian was no ordinary Guardian Knight. This man was definitely an elite!

In an instant, a silvery liquid flowed from the mark, wrapping around Gordian layer by layer.

The two assassins’ Desperate Strikes landed true, striking Gordian with full force!

However!

Silver Protection granted him three seconds of complete damage immunity!

Desperate Strike was a high-priority mortal skill, originating from ancient elven traditions.

But Silver Protection was a true Divine Spell, granted under the direct protection of the Silver God.

The assassins poured everything into the attack, entering a near-death state, but Gordian emerged completely unscathed!

He stood like a silver statue, immovable, as if nothing in the world could fell him.

The silvery light faded after three seconds. Gordian disdainfully kicked the two collapsed assassins aside and advanced toward the Blight Envoy.

"I see you still have some tricks up your sleeve!"

He laughed. "Desperate Strike doesn’t work on me!"

Though he spoke confidently, Xander noticed that one of the three divine lights surrounding Gordian’s sword had vanished.

Three Divine Spells were attached to the blade?

He already used one.

Xander understood more of the situation. The Blight Envoy’s strongest card against Gordian was likely the Shadow Spider Assassin!

As expected, the assassin appeared at that moment.

Even though the Dark Murderer possessed an advanced stealth-oriented class, it wasn’t a pure Assassin, so his stealth was only average.

He simply strode forward openly.

"Shadow Spider’s man?" Gordian frowned, showing a serious expression for the first time.

He could sense this opponent was quite powerful.

"Got paid for the job." This time, the assassin sounded surprisingly professional.

He said little more and attacked!

The twin daggers in his hands moved like a storm. Even his normal strikes left afterimages!

He must have a personal or class specialty that boosts attack speed! Xander analyzed.

Xander knew several valuable specialties, including one he desperately wanted.

The assassin’s rapid attack speed indicated he possessed exactly that kind of specialty—something Xander needed most.

Gordian was indeed strong. At least a full tier above Xander.

Facing the Dark Murderer’s assault, he blocked with his sword while launching effective counterattacks.

In a pure duel, Gordian has the advantage!

Unfortunately, this isn’t a duel.

Just as Xander had that thought, the Blight Envoy joined the battle.

He had few Divine Spells, but each was deadly and had to be used precisely.

His presence posed the greatest threat to Gordian. A single curse could completely shift the fight against the assassin.

As expected, the Envoy found an opening. Under the cover of the assassin’s attacks, a [Weakness] spell struck Gordian!

His speed and strength dropped by at least 30%.

Though Gordian immediately used a Divine Spell for [Weakness Immunity], he was a Guardian Knight, not a Priest.

He could only access a limited number of Divine Spells. He had already used Mind Blast, Detect Trail, Silver Protection, and Immunity. Even with the enchantments on his sword, he likely had no more than three remaining.

The Blight Envoy had come prepared.

He even wielded two powerful magic staves crafted in the southern wizard alliance. Though consumables, their price was exorbitant and their effects outstanding!

Gordian’s situation was turning dire!

The Dark Murderer laughed nastily. Taking advantage of Gordian dodging a Divine Spell, he unleashed a fierce blade technique!

[Rushing Thunder Slash]!

---

Can’t wait any longer!

Xander no longer hesitated. Still in [Stealth], he rushed out.

But this time, he cleverly removed the Masked Twin Blades mask and donned a simple cloth face covering instead!

He still used twin blades, but many fighters did. Who would connect him to the Masked Twin Blades?

"Give me a hand. We share a common enemy."

Xander emerged from the shadows and spoke briefly to Gordian before charging toward the Blight Envoy!

The Envoy’s face paled. He whispered urgently, and a stone wall rose in front of Xander.

"Pointless!"

Xander sneered as he raced up the vertical stone wall, taking several steps along its surface!

Anti-Gravity Steps!

On the other side, Gordian secretly tossed a ring of light toward him.

[Divine Spell – Divine Gift]!
