Just as the Pure Water Association assassin thought he was about to succeed, Lin Yide, as if expecting it, easily dodged the fatal blow.
His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Lin Yide had actually anticipated his sneak attack!
What kind of monster was this guy?
His original plan had been meticulously crafted.
He had deliberately allowed the Marechaussee Phantom to kill the six guards, an act designed to thoroughly enrage Lin Yide, causing him to lose his reason in anger.
In that emotionally compromised state, Lin Yide would inevitably expose an opening, at which point he could secretly seize the opportunity for a single, decisive strike.
However, his scheme had been detected by Lin Yide long ago.
Even with his unwavering resolve, he couldn't help but feel a tremor of doubt at this moment.
He didn't have time to think too much, because the icy edge of the Silver Sword was already attacking him swiftly.
That cold light, like the first ray of sunlight piercing through thick clouds at dawn, was full of determination and power, and nothing could stop its advance.
Under this powerful offensive, he could only retreat step by step, doing everything he could to avoid each deadly attack.
His figure moved quickly across the battlefield, like a dark phantom, trying to escape the approaching cold light.
But even so, he couldn't completely avoid all the attacks.
Each slash of the sword light left a deep wound on his body.
From those wounds, a pure, colorless liquid slowly flowed.
Lin Yide smiled coldly when he saw this.
As he expected, the Pure Water Association and the Marechaussee Phantom were colluding.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Pure Water Association assassin knew that he had no way out, so he decided to make a desperate gamble.
His body gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into a humanoid Pure Water Oceanid.
With his transformation, countless water arrows suddenly appeared out of thin air, densely packed, like a rain of arrows.
Under his control, these water arrows, as if imbued with life, flew madly towards Lin Yide.
"Yide, die!" he roared, his voice full of the joy and determination of revenge.
He seemed to have already seen the scene of Lin Yide being pierced by the water arrows, and his heart was filled with twisted satisfaction.
In his opinion, Lin Yide, without a Vision, would never be able to dodge this dense and powerful barrage of water arrows.
However, he overlooked one thing: Visions were not the only way to control the elements; there was also a device called Delusions.
Lin Yide calmly took out a Delusion exuding a strange aura from his pocket and deftly fastened it to his waist.
After being ambushed by the three Pure Water Association assassins last time, he had asked Arlecchino for a Delusion to deal with such situations.
This Delusion was not a low-quality imitation produced by the Inazuma Delusion factory, but a high-end product personally crafted by the Doctor, specially made for the Fatui elite.
Although excessive use would also bring certain side effects, its impact was negligible compared to those inferior products.
When Lin Yide's will merged with the Delusion, he immediately felt his life force being devoured by the Delusion at an alarming rate.
Under the effect of this power, the Delusion quickly connected his will with the surrounding ice element, allowing him to control this cold energy at will.
In that instant, the ice element quickly froze the incoming water arrows one by one, as if time had frozen them in the air, and then they fell weakly to the ground, making crisp shattering sounds.
The sudden change in front of him shocked the Pure Water Association assassin who had transformed into a Pure Water Oceanid. His originally confident expression instantly froze, replaced by a face full of horror and disbelief.
Then, only one thought remained in his mind: escape from here.
He knew the deadly threat of the ice element to Pure Water Oceanids.
Even a slight touch would cause the coldness of the ice element to quickly erode his body, freezing him firmly in place, turning him into a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, he was still one step too late.
Just as he turned to escape, Lin Yide had already gripped the Silver Sword, his figure flashed, like a light cutting through the darkness, and pierced through his body with lightning speed.
The Pure Water Oceanid's body gradually lost its vitality under the light of the sword, and was eventually completely frozen into a hard block of ice.
Lin Yide pulled out the Silver Sword that had pierced through the Pure Water Oceanid's body, waved it gently, and put it into his system inventory.
He turned slowly, his back to the block of ice made of the Pure Water Oceanid.
Just as he turned, the ice block suddenly exploded, fragments splashing everywhere, but without hurting him in the slightest.
Lin Yide was not in a good mood. Although he had killed many people, Vacher had escaped, and the six guards at the entrance were dead.
With heavy steps, he carefully arranged the remains of the six guards and lined them up neatly on the ground.
Then, he lowered his head deeply and gave them a solemn bow.
The West Factory guards were deeply touched by this scene, and spontaneously followed behind him, bowing to their sacrificed comrades.
"You, bury these brothers properly." He sighed softly.
After saying that, he walked away silently, his back looking lonely and firm.
The Marechaussee Phantom's debt, whether new or old, would be settled one by one today!
