Chapter 91 – The Siblings Mee (2/2)

Yet, ASliverofSmoke did not stop. He merely snorted as he passed by, then led his people away and disappeared into the dense forest.

“F*ck, he’s so damn cocky. Let’s go and kill him?” LeftHandofGod muttered.

HeadofGod smacked LeftHandofGod on the head, “How f*cking strong do you think you are? Kill him? He is the ninth ranking warrior on the hero rankings. Why would we risk losing levels to kill him for no reason?”

“Hehe, Big Bro is right,” LeftHandofGod didn’t dare to retort. He merely scratched his head and stopped speaking.

“Let’s go and cleanse ourselves of our red names. I want to get back quickly, I still have an unfinished mission to do,” said Fatty.

The thirteen assassins found a random patch in the forest and started farming. Since there were many of them and they were plenty powerful, they were not afraid of getting ambushed at all.

After a while, they gradually regained their white names. The one who regained it the last was TheFugitive, most likely because he killed the most people. After all, Fatty pretty much saw him with a red name every single time.

“Let’s recall?” HeadofGod asked when everybody got rid of the Sin Points, then took out his own Recall Scroll.

Suddenly, they heard a few sounds. Fatty immediately put his scroll away and looked around, only to find that the others already did the same.

“Let’s go,” Fatty took the lead and went into the forest in stealth.

After a few hundred meters, the sounds became louder. They could also faintly hear the voices of a few players and the growl of a monster.

As they snuck closer, they saw ASliverofSmoke leading people and attacking a strange monster. The monster appeared like a tiger, but had a horn on its head, which was sparking with electricity. Every single attack seemed to shoot out a bolt of lightning. Although it didn’t instakilled a player it hit, the attack caused the player to be scorched black and writhe on the ground.

Furthermore, there were also some female players on the side, who were all attacking.

“We stealing it?” TheFugitive whispered.

“Uhm, maybe now,” HeadofGod hesitated. “We get paid to do stuff. It isn’t good for us to kill steal someone’s boss monster for nothing.”

“Why shouldn’t we?” said LeftHandofGod. “Big Bro, think about it. If we find such a boss monster and ASliverofSmoke sees us when we are fighting it, do you think he would steal it from us if his squad was stronger than us?”

“Uhm…” HeadofGod was still hesitant.

At that moment, the monster growled. Its horns lit up, but didn’t attack immediately. Instead, it seemed to charge up the attack for a while before shooting it out.

The struck players all grunted, then died without even having the chance to get healed.

The bolt of lightning finally disappeared after striking through seven or eight players. At that very instant, the monster began to charge up its second attack.

“Retreat. Retreat!” ASliverofSmoke roared. This monster’s single-attack attack was way too powerful. The only way to kill it seemed to be overwhelming it with numbers.

“Although it’s not as flashy is the Fire Demon, it looks like it’s a lot harder to kill. Its attacks are quick and strong. None of us can withstand a single hit. Even if we did everything we can to kill it, we really might end up just helping others instant,” Fatty whispered.

“Hey, Brother Grub, look! It’s Little Sister Pink!” TheFugitive exclaimed.

Fatty looked over and saw a tall girl amongst the female players wearing a set of equipment befitting a great mage. She was holding up her staff and trying her best to attack the monster. Meanwhile, the monster’s horn was sparkling, and its next attack was clearly aimed at that female player.

Fatty recognized the delicate and doll-like face of the girl at first glance. It was the one who was named the number one beauty of Vermillion Bird City and his little sister, Qian Xiaoqian.

“Guys, I’m going to help,” Fatty didn’t ask them to follow him. After all, they just were just arguing with ASliverofSmoke, it was unknown whether they were going to be treated as friend or foe. If they were to just rush out, then they really might end up dying.

“Brother Grub, wait for me!” TheFugitive followed Money Grubber out and shouted loudly. “Little Sister Pink, don’t worry. Big Brother’s coming to save you!”

“Careless? How? Their mechanics were great, and their attacks and positioning were on spot. Their combat senses were also very good,” another player, most likely not too great at games, asked in confusion.

“They made five mistakes. First of all, they choose to step out of Icy Fortress’s protection. Although it was to lure the two assassins into attacking, they also placed themselves in danger. This is a clear example of even a single mistake can be fatal. Secondly, they underestimated that Money Grubber way too much. They were clearly under a lot of pressure due to HeadofGod being the third ranked assassin. They essentially placed all their attention onto him and felt like if they kill him, they would win the fight. They never really took Money Grubber’s strength seriously. But, when you think about it, since God Familia is called the number one assassin familia, it is impossible for someone they are close with to be incapable. TheFugitive is an example of that. Thirdly, they aren’t familiar with their opponent’s skills at all. Nobody even knew about Money Grubber’s binding attack. The reason DreamButterfly died in a single rotation was because she was bound and couldn’t move. Fourthly, they didn’t have any pets. If you think about it, Money Grubber and HeadofGod’s pets essentially made SnowPhoenix target them. Otherwise, DreamButterfly wouldn’t have died in that single round at all. Lastly, nobody expected HeadofGod to use his reputation as the third ranking assassin as a way of drawing attention to himself. That’s what allowed Money Grubber to find an opportunity to attack. During that fight, the two girls didn’t even have a chance to use twenty or even ten percent of their strength before getting killed. You really have to praise Money Grubber and HeadofGod for how strong they are. Assassins. What does that mean? Only if they kill in one shot are they actually assassins. Fighting a prolonged battle is not the way of the class at all!”
