Chapter 41 (1/2)

‘Should I use cast Toxic Miasma?’ Nie Fan pondered endlessly. The Thieves would definitely die if he used it right now, what with all the withered Soulcraving Thorns strewn all over the ground. If he didn’t, he was going to have a hard time escaping their encirclement.

Moreover, there were too many Demon Goblins around them for Nie Fan to cast Bloodthirsty Vines. He would definitely be interrupted by those creatures if he stopped to cast it.

But in that very moment, a pleasant, stirring voice spoke. “Need help?”

Nie Fan looked towards it to find Dancing Phoenix, who had already arrived beside him unbeknownst to him.

Her bright smile left Grievous Harm and the others stunned too.

Dancing Phoenix was a friend of Dark Night’s? They rarely even heard of Dancing Phoenix mingling with men!

Even as the Thieves were left doubting what they see, Nie Fan grinned. “My thoughts, precisely.”

He wasn’t one to put on airs, and though it was not a problem for him to handle three opponents at once, six was a little difficult.

Nie Fan had just spoken when Dancing Phoenix sent one of the Thieves flying, and killed him with another lethal slash.

With one Thief down, she immediately rushed away and intercepted another Thief!

To avoid being red listed for killing another player, Dancing Phoenix limited her targets to the yellow listed Thieves.

It was hard to imagine that a woman of every sweetness and charm could move so agilely. No wonder there were those who call her the War Goddess.

Still, Nie Fan was not one to be outdone. He lunged towards a Thief who tried to turn and run, and unleashed a Smite square on the back of his head.

The Thief was instantly rendered Dizzy.

Thud-thud-thud!

With a few more blows, from Nie Fan, damage values over fifty and sixty were popping up continuously over the Thief’s head.

Although Nie Fan’s equipment was just above average, the buffing from the Ring of Fate meant his attacks were quite vicious. Moreover, the Thief’s Defense and HP weren’t that high, and he dropped to the ground with just a few blows.

Grievous Harm and the others turned pale from fear, losing all will to fight from the sheer surprise of Dancing Phoenix joining the fray. She was quite famous for her prowess after all, not to mention that they could not use their numbers against her—with other Phoenix Down members nearby, wouldn’t she just call for them?

They started to withdraw, ready to leave when several Warriors came up on their rear to block their path.

They immediately realized that they were surrounded.

“It’s Bloodbath Studios! Shit!” One of the Thief cursed just before he fell to the ground as well.

Grievous Harm simply couldn’t understand why players from Phoenix Down Studios and Bloodbath Studios would come to Nie Fan’s aid, and even before he could ponder, he had dropped to the ground already after Warhammer cut him down.

All six Thieves from the Wandering Souls Studios were slain.

“Much thanks.” Nie Fan sent Warsong a message afterwards.

“You’re too kind—it really wasn’t much.” Warsong smiled nonchalantly, since Nie Fan and Dancing Phoenix would have handled things even without him. That said, where had she come from? Could she be connected to him as well? It was a point of concern since Bloodbath Studios and Phoenix Down Studios were rivals and could clash at any given moment…

Still, the only important thing was that Nie Fan wasn’t affiliated to Phoenix Down. They wouldn’t have recruited Nie Fan since that group was all girls anyway, and Warsong smiled in relief at the thought.

“Thanks.” Nie Fan messaged Dancing Phoenix as well.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com
