Chapter 832 - Death and Glory (1/2)

The underworld passage forked into two paths. One led to the Undead Empire, and the other to the Demon Tribe.

Nie Yan walked a few steps down one path, when a system notification popped up.

You have discovered the Desolate Marsh.

This was a marsh with black seaweed and other similar plants growing everywhere. On the edge of the swamp were the remains of dead animals, a foul stench coming from their rotting corpses.

Checking the map, Nie Yan guessed this was the territory of the Demon Tribe.

Nie Yan trekked along the edge of the marsh where the ground was harder. Looking far in the distance, he saw black serpent-like creatures moving around. The monsters that spawned here were Level 120 Black Swamp Snakes. They posed zero threat to him.

When Nie Yan got within six meters of these Black Swamp Snakes, they raised their heads and started hissing and flicking out their red tongues. Moments later, they slowly retreated. As they saw it, Nie Yan was a dangerous predator, not some easy prey.

Nie Yan didn’t pay them any attention at all. A short while later, a faint white light flew out and fluttered around him.

Over the past year, Bennett’s soul hadn’t appeared even once. Nie Yan had thought it had already disappeared.

Under Bennet’s lead, Nie Yan trekked through the marsh for roughly 20 minutes.

Nie Yan felt quite uncomfortable. The dense dark elemental energy here was cold and gloomy and carried a corrosive property.

After trekking forward for another 600 meters, Nie Yan halted his steps. He’d caught the whiff of something odd. Coldly chuckling, he continued on without the slightest care.

Pitch black shrubs which reached up to Nie Yan’s waist grew everywhere. It was a wonder how they survived in such an inhospitable environment. Behind these shrubs, several shadows flitted by.

After Nie Yan walked another few steps, five Thieves pounced forward from all directions and surrounded him.

After tailing Nie Yan for so long, they had finally run out of patience!

The movements of these five Thieves were nimble, a clear sign of their skill. Silver wings grew from their backs.

Five Silver Wings!

Over these past six months, thanks to the release of the Age of Gods Expansion, class advancing became much easier. The Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire already had over 200 Masters. Likely, the number of Silver Wings had ballooned as well. Nie Yan wasn’t the least bit surprised he was being ambushed by five Silver Wings.

Nie Yan stood still, showing no signs of action. Just as the five Thieves closed in on him, his figure blurred into multiple afterimages. He employed the illusion steps to dodge the attacks of three of the Thieves.

A dagger stabbed toward his chest. Nie Yan brandished the Bloody Dagger. KLANG! The two blades clashed as sparks flew into the air.

Nie Yan spun around. The Slaughter Edge was as fast as lightning as it stabbed toward the other Thief’s throat.

The Thief hurriedly tried to block. However, the Slaughter Edge suddenly snaked around his dagger as a dazzling light blinded his eyes. PSSHFT! His throat was pierced.

The Thief’s expression was frozen in shock. Even in death, he had no idea what had happened. Nie Yan’s attack was too fast! His eyes lost their light as he collapsed to the ground.

“Shit! I just lost over half my health! It’s some kind of skill similar to Slaughter Feast!”

“Kill him!”

When the Thief died, his four comrades sealed off Nie Yan’s escape routes and pounced on him.

Gale Ambush!

Nie Yan accelerated and pounced toward one of the Thieves.

“Son of a bitch! Die!”

Just as the four Thieves pounced on Nie Yan, he activated Death Exemption, making him immune to all crowd control. After taking on their attacks head-on, he struck out with Phantom Assassination! PSFHT! PSHFT! PSFHT! With the splash damage from Slaughter Aura, they all lost their health at the same time and dropped dead on the ground. Pentakill!

One notification after another popped up in quick succession.

Glory kill! Enemy 10,000-Man Commander slain! You have obtained 723 Glory.

Glory kill! Enemy 10,000-Man Commander slain! You have obtained 921 Glory.
