Vol 4 Chapter 7 (2/2)

In an instant, 600 points of his health disappeared

Ark was surprised and instantly withdrew

Blurry fors

The company had their faces hidden in black hoods like a ninjaThe first thing he thought of when he saw their features were Shambala

The ‘ Stealth’ and ‘ assassination ‘ skill was Shambala’s main attacks, but it wasn’t Shambala

Shortly after, two people dressed the same appeared from both sides of the house

The red hand sta

“Lorenzo”?

“Mo, I don’t know I’ve never seen such dangerous guys? ”

Lorenzo also shook his head in bewilderment

At that time, the masked man muttered in a low voice

“It would be impossible for that delinquent to know us”

“What are you guys? What do you want? ”

“We’re the dark brotherhood”

“The, the Dark Brothers! Surely you guys…the assassination Guild……!”

Blood instantly drained from Lorenzo’s face

Living in Selebrid, Lorenzo had heard rumours of the Dark BrothersHowever, Ark looked confused and still didn’t understand

“assassination Guild? Why would the guild try to assassinate me?”

The assassin then made a derisive noise

“Kukukuk, this fellow is still slow to understand the situation”

“Eh? Yes, you?”

“I’ to find you ”

Andel……!’

Ark muttered with a surprised voice

The face of the assassin at the back was none other than Andel

“Yes……Have you recovered your senses yet?”

“The one who has to notice is youDid you think I would let you take pleasure fro with me?”

“Let’s do this to the end?”

“That’s the most welcome sound I ever head Let’s finally finish it”

“You bastard ……!”

When Ark lifted his sword, the three assassins in front blocked it

“What the?”

“Didn’t you hear? I hired assassins froanization ”

“When I was in Selebrid, I heard a ruanization composed of the most elite assassins They specialize in the nersThey have such excellent skills that they charge an extravagant coainst you…… ”

Lorenzo murmured in a small voice

NPCs that specialize in hunting users?

What ridiculous thing is he talking about?

This unexpected proble users than their levels should be quite highIn addition, they must be armed with the professional skills for PVP

‘das this place…… ‘

Ark gave a frustrated face and the assassins suddenly attacked

Chae Chang! Kakakak!

Ark immediately evaded and counter attacked

If it was an ordinary ed would have been dealtBut the assassin avoided the attack using a strangebell for the fight

“Kill him!”

The 3 assassins cleverly used a pincer attack to push Ark backArk was pressed by the sword attacks co from all directions

“Dedric, Skull! Plan B-1! ‘

Dedric and Skull each rushed to 1 assassin Their airborne attacks used a 7: 3 ratio of attack and defense Meanwhile, Ark was fighting the re assassin 1 on 1

They split their attack between the pets and Ark

‘Oh my God, level 120 ……! ‘

Ark groaned after he checked their level using Eyes of the Cat

Ark’s current level was 90 and with the dark attribute bonus he reached level 120However, the assassins’ default level was 120 The assassins’ would also receive a dark attribute bonusIn the end, he concluded that the difference was at least 10 levels

Indeed, the assassins are the type to show off their skills

Ark continued evading while countering the ghost sword

However, as Ark?

Ark was also armed with the specialized PVP skills of a Dark Walker

Ark quickly changed his strategy and kicked out in conjunction with Snake’s poisonous attackHe fought the assassin with an enthusiasm like he would die any round after a blow

‘Double critical chance!’

Ark used the opportunity to narrow the distance and swung his swordHowever, a sharpout and Ark was pushed back

The other two assassins blocked his blow from either side of ArkHis summons was unable to impede the enemies like they normally would due to their numbers Therefore, Ark’s health went down to 50

” Sheesh, it’s ht’

“Snake, recovery potion!”

Ark retreated a few steps and pulled out a potion

No, as soon as he tried to drinkThe assassin quickly pulled out a scrollAt the key moment he was about to drink the potion, a sound was heard

Ark surfaced in front of a red warning e

{Null recovery} scroll was activatedYou can’t use any items while you’re in battle{Duration: 30 minutes}

‘No recovery?’

The reason that he didn’t lose hope after discovering that the enemies were level 120 was because he had quite a lot of recovery potions saved

While his opponent couldn’t drink a potion due to being bothered by Snake, Ark safely couldWhen dealing with other users, this was the pattern Ark used to winThanks to that, he could engage in battles with higher level users without worrying

However, now the situation was reversed due to one scroll

He didn’t have time to be surprised as the assassin shoved their swords at his chest

“Huhuhu, why do you think I faced you alone? I know all the foreigner’s battle strategy already

Meanwhile, the assassin retreated and leisurely drank a potionThe situation continued a couple of ti their health at 80However, without the recovery potion Ark’s health decreased to 40

‘damn, that bastard! ‘

Ark glared at Andel standing a distance away

Andel did not participate in the battle If he interrupt the battle than he would become chaotic and he didn’t see a reason for that

Meanwhile, the assassins began to strengthen their attacks

“Master, Master! Any more……!”

Tadak! Tadadak!

Tofor help

The abilities of his summons were mid-level 40 at best

Until now, there were two reasons that they could deal with high level monsters

As the battle goes on, most of the monsters focus on Ark rather than his summonsTherefore, the pets were not subjected to concentrated attacksAnd the second reason was that Ark could direct different plans depending on the circumstances

However, the assassins were different from normal monsters

When it was necessary, they would focus their attacks on the su helplessly pushed back couldn’t even afford to direct his summonsThe pets who didn’t receive any support instantly reached a critical condition

”I can’t lose the summons here! ‘

“Dedric, Skull! Plan B-4! ”

“I’m sorry Master! ”

The situation was even worse with the su

The 3 assassins surrounded Ark and attacked with their swordsThen Lorenzo who had anxiously watched as Ark went on the defensive yelled out and rushed in

“Hey, bastards!”

But Lorenzo couldn’t even dae the black robed assassinsInstead, he received a sound thrashi+ng and was soon in critical condition

“You should’ve been quiet if you wanted to live a few more minutesFoolish fellow! ”

The annoyed assassin casually threw his sword at the nuisance

‘Oh, no! ‘

The surprised Ark quickly rushed in front of Lorenzo

Although he wielded a sword, the dirk quickly penetrated his chest

-Critical Hit 200 Dae!

Ark stumbled as his health fell to a critical condition

“You ……Why did you go so far……… ”

Lorenzo appeared puzzled

There was no ation or money at risk for Ark to jump in front of Lorenzo The reason was that he hadn’t finished his quest and if Lorenzo died it would become difficult

How could he give up a quest worth 400~600 gold when he could still salvage it?

Even if he died in this place, he would never give up goldEven if the situation was enough to make him anxious, Ark didn’t show itIf he died, then to the NPC he would seeer of justice

“I promised WolkosuYou can’t be injured, you have to live and somehow reconcile with your father

“You ……!”

He looked at Ark with an impressed face

“There’s no tiet out of here Follow me!”

When an assassin tried to kill Lorenzo, the situation beca his body, Ark avoided the assassin and gained time for a retreat

Then, another assassin took out a scroll and shouted

“Scroll [Magnetic] target Ark!”

At the saged towards the assassin

“Ah, Ark-nim!”

“Don’t look back, run! I’ll co soon!”

Ark resisted the pulling force with his full strength and shouted

Lorenzo glanced at hi away

At that moment, Ark turned his body and rushed at the assassinThe acceleration caused by Ark’s rush added to the effects of the [Magnetic] scroll caused the assassin and flinch and be hit

That moment was a chance for Ark

“The chain skill Riposte!”

Ark shouted and used the Riposte skill to deflect the attacks back at the assassinsThey turned to a solid mass and fell down

At the sa suction disappeared

“Now!”

When Ark and Lorenzo ran away, Andel raised his voice and shouted

“What are you doing? These guys! ‘

“Ouch, who kneould use such a technique”

“Don’t worry though Once the Dark Brother catches a game, they never miss”

The assassins took out another scroll and used it

{Trace} scroll, track the targetThe location of the target can be determined if they are within a 1 km distance{Duration: 30 minutes}

{Battle off disabled} scroll was activatedEven if the opponent is far away, the battle state isn’t released{Duration: 30 minutes}

‘Oh my God! ‘

Ark’s face was haggard

The talk of a professional assassin always seemed to be excessive advertisement

Ark thought the battle state could be released which hy he ran more than 200 meters awaySo the [Null Recovery] effect could be cancelledAlso, if he hid his body using ‘Stealth’ he would have an opportunity to sneak back and attack Andel

However, just before he turned the corner two more scrolls were activated

The assassin used [Trace] and [Battle off disabled] Whether Andel knew Ark’s plan or not, the use of those two scrolls ruined it

It means that all of Ark’s weak points were identified

”It was a special scroll prepared in Kairote, just for him……… ‘

Sid had mentioned the effects of the special scrolls the other day But he did not realise that it would have such an enormous effect

It did no direct da to the situation, then it could

If there was time, he would study the effects of the scrolls more seriously but at the moment he did not want to back down

‘When pursued by a group, it is time for some countermeasures’

“We can’t stop itLet’s split up”

“Yes?”Ha, but ………”

“Think about it, you won’t be any help to et of their [Trace] is meWhen we scatter, they won’t chase after you”

“But until I pay back life debt, I can’t just run away like this”

“It’s not for you”

“What?”

“Sid reed by the assassins’ attacks, there would be no one left to protect Sid as a foreigner in KairoteIt is a requestThe only one I can trust is youPlease protect Sid”

“Khuk……I understand”

While he was conflicted, Lorenzo eventually nodded

The fact that he wouldn’t be any help against those guys and Ark knew it too

“As soon as possible Go before they detect us”

“Come back alive”

“Don’t worry”

Ark briefly replied before running through the dark backstreets

He was separated from LorenzoIf the quest fails then the worst situation was avoidable

‘It is important to last 30 minutes’

Ark ran in an alley, thinking hard

There was nothing Ark could do about the scroll combo he was underNo, honestly even without the scroll, he couldn’t guarantee the odds against three assassins

So far, the NPC thieves he had faced were classified as general h whichcompared to a user

However, if the same monster had a combat attribute than that would be a different situation

The Sylphid Knights of Jackson was a good example of thisTheir combat oes for assassins

In the first place, the NPC that specializes in hunting users would have superior fighting skills than the Sylphid Knights

It was the 3 worse NPCs to fightIn addition, there was also AndelHe stayed back because he didn’t want to beco than he would probably interfere

‘No ht about it, there was no way to win’

However, it was also iet away

[Null recovery], [Trace], [Battle off disabled]

The scroll combo he was under meant that any method of escape was blocked

The situation had becoloomier

‘damn it, that bastard Andel! If such a method wasn’t used’

It would be easyIf he used the same method than he had confidence that he would winHe wouldn’t have ignored it if he was Andel However, Ark had never even considered it

Andel had a lot e about New World than Arc! He was also friends with Alan who had enormous funds and resources available

If he was only dealing with one person, but Andel took advantage of the assassin game system and scrolls So Ark was confused about how to come up with a counter attack

‘This is why I was reluctant to associate with players………

He didn’t want to make enemies or even associate with friends

But fro and he eventually ended up in this situation

“Over here!”

Suddenly, a black shape fell from the roof and blocked him

The Dark Brother assassin!

Ark turned around and flinched as the other assassins fell behind and beside him

With the [Trace] scroll tracking hisin the palms of Buddha, and the complicated maze of alleys made it easy to surround him

‘In the end am I prepared to die? ‘

When you die, your stats drop by 6 pointsYour experience also drops 30At level 90, 30 wasn’t a small amount

He would have to hunt for 12 hours around the clock to gain back the experience

But he was even angrier at the thought of Andel being the one to cause his death

Of course, Andel ca forward to see Ark’s end

“Kukukuk, look at this spectacleEven though you esture at the end”

“Bah, this is your best? After this encounter I will not forgive you Understand?I’ll attack again and this time I’ll really strip you naked I promiseI’ll chase you all across the continent until you’re naked!”

“You’re a really stupid fellowDo you still not grasp the situation? ”

“What?”

“You will be the one stripped naked, not in”

At Andel’s command, the 3 assassins all took out scrolls at the same time and activated it

“[Seize] scroll Target Ark!”

Ark looked at the scrolls on the hands of the black assassinsA red warning e then flashed

[{Seize} scroll activated

When the designated target dies, there is a 50 chance that an equipped item will drop

{Duration: 30 minutes}]

“What, what?”

Ark’s face turned white and terrified

50 chance to drop equipped items? There was also such a scroll?

Furthermore, the same scroll was used three times

While the scroll had a cool down, the assassins could use it repeatedlyAnd there were 3 assassins

If 3 people use it at the same time, then the effect will stack up three ti equipree, it he was unlucky then he would drop 3 items at once

Currently if he lost any of his iteainIn the worst case scenario, Lancel’s Sould drop which would cost him 30

‘What’sscrolls! ‘

Ark glared at the Ark didn’t know

The old for oneIn other words, the assassins used 210 gold just on scrolls

300 gold was used to hire the assassins and 210 gold to buy the scrolls

All the scrolls were privately financed by Alan and Andel and then given to the assassins

Let’s go capitalism!

Just like in reality, ame

“You are unlucky You don’t knohat ht have happened if it was another place, but this was the lawless city of Kairote There are no active restrictions on assassins In addition, would you make a resurrection place before Cairo?”

“Let’s see?”

Ark coolly shot back, but inside his heart fell

Andel seeuess his predicament as he smirked

“Heh, just like a e near CairoIt is impossible for you to have made anywhere else a resurrection pointAnd this is a place where the guards don’t move if users are attackedNo, here they are more hostile to normal players than chaotic playersIf you are resurrected in a non-chaotic state then you would also have to flee the townWell, even if you escape the town the result would still be the sa sense? Who will be the one stripped naked?”

Every word impaled him

If he was in an ordinary village, there was no risk of a non-chaotic player being killed repeatedlyHowever, this was the chaotic city of Cairo, where they were adverse to non-chaotic usersThat’s why they had to be careful that the resurrection place was updated

However, Ark hid his unease and replied sarcastically

“Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I would renew the resurrection point at a crazy place like this? ”

“Bah, it doesn’t matter, just kill him!”

The assassins rushed at Andel’s command

The first scroll was triggered and 15 minutes had finally passed

The re time was 15 minutes, but he was still in a battle state and the assassins would not stop pursuing him

While he was running away, it was fortunate that his health recovered to 30

The assassins quickly attacked Ark from three directions

If he focused on just one of them it would be detrimental After 1 minute he quickly fell to a critical condition

‘I uys! ‘

Ark glared at Andel with cold eyes

‘He’s convinced that I updated the resurrection place hereWhen I die theto do is stay deadI’m not bound for death! If just one NPC died then they wouldn’t recover quickly enough Then I’ll hide using ‘stealth’ and run away in the meantime’

That was the best plan at the momentIn addition, if the fired assassin made a mistake then even Andel won’t be able to sleep easily

‘An adventure! ‘

“Blessing of the Sea Spirit!”

When the special effects of Adelaine’s Necklace were activated, blue waves appeared and surrounded himAt the same time, defense increased by 40 and 500 mana was restored

At the sa and pulled out a stack of old swordsAndel pushed one of the assassins and rushed forward

Take this, Blade Storm!

When he activated the skill, cracks like spider webs spread on the swordsWith an intense glare, he swung the sword at Andel

Blessing of the Sea Spirit was followed by Blade Storm In his critical condition, Adrenaline was activatedThis is was Ark’s powerful deadly combo

When the assassins belatedly noticed Ark’s intent, they threw a daggerBut the 40 increase in defense meant that Ark’s health didn’t really declineWith any luck, he would still be able to take down the level 60 Andel

Looking at the swirling sword debris, Ark was convinced

However, at the hed

He pulled out one more scroll, activated it and disappeared only to appear a few meters away

‘What, [Warp]………!’

The swirling blade storm disappeared into the airArk’s eyes narrowed in despair

His deadly coy failed because of a scrollFor a while he was discouraged until he felt the painThe assassins had throo daggers which plunged into his back

Ark stu

He looked down and saw the mouth of the hole spread out infinitely

It was the hell that you wouldn’t be able to survive once you fell in Andel had chased hie of hell

When Andel used [warp], he rushed right to the edge of a place Ark guaranteed was hellIf Blade Storm was used just one step closer, he would’ve stepped off the edge into hell

No, Ark’s fate had already been decided

“So you’re also here!”

The assassins had been throwing the dagger again

Ark swung his sword at the daggers but one still became stuck in his shoulder

Ark flinched and retreated while a nuhts crossed his mind

”There is no way for me to survive in this state anyway! ‘

And if he died and dropped an item then it would end up in Andel’s handsEven if he didn’t want to die it couldn’t be helped

‘I’d rather have the items lost forever than end up with Andel! ‘

Ark ground his teeth together and asked

Even if he withstood it, there is a 100 chance he’ll dieHowever, what if he fell into hell? It’s clear that he was going to die But at least it wouldn’t be because of Andel The items dropped also wouldn’t end up with Andel And maybe even ………

There may be a possibility of 001

There was no choice

Ark i

Daggers just barely missed his neck as he fell and also flew overheadAnd at his feet spread an endless abyss……!
