Chapter 404: Chapter 385 Assassination
As a game remarkably close to reality in its setting, the Thief is undoubtedly the profession that demands the highest awareness and skill, bar none.
Thieves or Assassins rely on the special ability of Stealth to hold an influential position in both PVP and PVE.
However, it is well-known that a Thief’s Stealth is merely a visual deception and does not mean true invisibility and disappearance.
Thus, the more complex the terrain, the more demanding the Thief’s execution must be.
During stealth, making even the slightest abnormal sound could reveal their location, inviting a fierce attack.
As one of the top Assassins of Fuguo’s unwritten rules, Pierre naturally couldn’t make such a rookie mistake.
While in Stealth mode, Pierre skillfully used the incessant sound of the wind to mask the slight noises of his steps.
To avoid drawing attention, Pierre’s every movement was aligned with the blind spot of their vision to obscure the faint footprints beneath him.
"This shouldn’t be happening. We’ve been here for nearly ten minutes. How could no one have shown up?"
"It’s not that no one came; it’s because those who did are waiting to be the last fisherman."
Listening to their conversation, Pierre savored the instinctive fear in his prey’s eyes before death, while he was the executioner ending them.
Gazing at Banxia Liuli’s exposed fair neck, Pierre showed a bloodthirsty smile and thought: Die!
Just as Pierre drew his daggers to launch an attack, Lin Yi suddenly burst into laughter:
"Heh heh..."
"Splash!"
Lin Yi’s feet stepped into a small depression, halted, and splashed up a spray of water.
The puzzled Aoshi Wangchu and others turned their heads toward Lin Yi:
"What’s going on? Is there a problem?"
Lin Yi’s sudden laughter was so strange, leaving everyone at a loss, including Pierre.
However, Lin Yi did not respond. Instead, he calmly activated his skill:
"Arcane Mysterious Step"
When activated, it increases attack speed by 20%; movement speed by 30%.
Then:
"Arcane·Enchantment (Flame)"
The Purple Thunder Longsword instantly surged with scorching flames.
Under the confused gazes, Lin Yi finished all this, and then turned to look at Pierre, who was equally puzzled.
When the two locked eyes, Pierre was startled:
"You!"
This man could actually see him!
This realization shocked Pierre.
While Pierre involuntarily let out a horrified exclamation, the alert Aoshi Wangchu instantly understood and his face changed dramatically:
"Thief!"
At that moment, Lin Yi had already struck:
"Arcane Impact!"
"-5068"
"-506" Burn~
System: Trigger passive paralysis effect, target’s actions are restricted for 1 second
Then immediately activated:
"Arcane Triple Slash"
"Swish swish swish~"
Three cold flashes instantly swept across Pierre’s body, causing three massive damage floats:
"-3547"
...
Pierre’s health plummeted to the brink, leaving just a sliver.
Simultaneously, it triggered the skill’s passive:
System: Completing the Triple Strike triggers skill passive, the target enters dizziness state, lasting 1.5 seconds
Just as Lin Yi swung his sword to strike, a Holy Light flashed over Pierre at this critical moment:
"Intermediate Healing Technique"
"+6489"
"-3087"
"-308" Burn
In this split-second moment, a massive fireball descended from the sky, heading toward Banxia and them.
Aoshi Wangchu was shocked:
"Quick, dodge!"
The next moment, the fireball suddenly exploded with a "boom!" sound, sparks flying, accompanied by a blood-red damage float:
"-6408" Burn~
Banxia Liuli was stunned to find herself unharmed?
And a roar suddenly came from beside her, as Banxia Liuli noticed the massive figure appearing in front of her:
"Golden Behemoth!"
Unexpectedly, that attack was likely blocked by Lin Yi’s pet!
"What are you doing standing there? Get behind the Behemoth."
At this moment, Lin Yi’s voice suddenly snapped everyone out of their daze, and Aoshi Wangchu hurriedly shielded Banxia Liuli, while Duoduo sensibly stood at the back.
While summoning the Behemoth to block that attack, Lin Yi redirected his attention toward Pierre.
"Trying to escape?"
The instant Pierre was freed from control, he wasn’t thinking of continuing the attack, but was ready to flee immediately.
In that moment, Pierre recognized that the perverse figure before him was known in Fuguo as the War God of Hua Country!
"Damn it, how could it be him, dammit."
No matter how arrogant Pierre was, he wouldn’t be so conceited to think he could be his opponent.
It was only now that Pierre realized how ’lucky’ he was to encounter this man among thousands of people!
Just when Pierre turned around, Lin Yi had already:
Switched weapons
Then unleashed a skill toward Pierre’s intended escape route:
"Arcane Burst!"
Pierre, shocked, watched as a light ball landed on the ground ahead, and shouted unwillingly:
"No!!!"
With a "boom~" sound, the light ball exploded, and Pierre was instantly enveloped:
"-5087"
"-2543" Poison
"-2543" Poison
...
Pierre instantly fell to the ground, his health drained completely!
On the other side, a shield emerged from the nearby bushes, fiercely smashing toward Lin Yi’s face:
"Spirit Devouring Shield"
Yet in the next moment:
"Snap!"
"-2140"
The rapidly spinning shield was caught by the Behemoth with one hand, who roared and hurled it back into the bushes:
"Bang!"
"-1470"
The armor warrior who was about to make an entrance was knocked back by the shield, with a stunned expression:
"How come!"
At this moment, seeing Pierre the Thief had just been slain, the group hidden in the bushes realized things weren’t right:
"It’s Feng Hua!"
"Retreat."
Lin Yi seemed to sense their intentions, chuckling:
"You came, so don’t leave."
Jade Qilin suddenly leaped from one side:
"Want to leave? Have you asked my permission yet?"
Then activated:
"Ice Domain"
Within 10 meters of the enemy, their movement/attack speed decreased by 20%, while ours increased by 10%, lasting 5 minutes.
For five minutes, the opponent couldn’t leave the domain, enough time for Lin Yi to keep them all.
In moments, Lin Yi and the roaring Behemoth charged into the domain, slaughtering the remaining few unilaterally.
The huge commotion naturally caught the attention of those around, and many hidden in nearby teams instantly recognized the tall form of the Golden Behemoth.
In the game, nearly everyone knew the owner of this Behemoth: Feng Hua!
