Hoould either party, caught up in the huge battle right outside the gates at the moment, ever expect that the purpose of this brutal brawl they had found themselves locked into actually concealed a small yet important objective to certain people?

The instant Gu Fei pulled open the shed's door, he brandished out a Twin Incineration with a sword technique Just as he had expected; there were players that were blocking the way out right outside the door, and that one move of his instantly cleared some space before him Sword Demon darted out after Gu Fei in a heroic fashi+on; his overleveled skill ShadowhCharge skill The ht ahead and broke through the encirclement in the blink of an eye

Those players surrounding the shed turned their heads in surprise, but, in the end, what greeted theht over to where Sword De his back as they made their way out Flahts flashed Gu Fei followed this up by pointing down on the ground and chanting loudly, “Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno! Arise!”

“Run!” The two turned tail and ran

“Dmn! That's a bluff” The four players cried this out loud and gave chase, but only after they dove for cover in their surprise when they heard Gu Fei chant a spell incantation and failed to see any rising eround

As how reality had shown tirasp of Gu Fei's spell casting would always end up eating huht that the spell was a bluff realized this fact the round The ensuing inferno that greas far more powerful than what they had ever seen or even experienced before, causing all the players eak or low HP to iot burned

Meanwhile, Gu Fei and Sword Deed to clear a distance of several meters by this time Gu Fei pulled out two coils of rope from his dimensional pocket and handed one over to Sword Demon “Hold it firmly”

Sword Deht would be used for the wall-cli portion, as it was evident that he would needthis As such, he did not bother to check how far they ed to distance themselves froured it was about time “Got it”

“Here we go!” Gu Fei did not waste even a second as he held onto the grappling hooks Tossing both hooks out together, he accurately secured them onto the rampart on top of the wall

“Get up!” Gu Fei shouted as he tugged at the rope and propelled himself up in the air Sword Demon was not as adept at this, so he conscientiously ran to the base of the wall and used it to climb his way up

The two scaled the wall, even as the ene wave Gu Fei's skills when it ca walls ell beyond that of Sword De, he easily made it to the top of the wall just as Sword Demon made it one third of the way up

Seeing as the ene second, Gu Fei turned his gaze over to Sword Demon and realized that apex MMO experts like Sword Demon truly had aspects which were far froical resilience they possessed Compared to those other players he had teamed up with the other day, almost every one of them became flustered the moment enemies appeared Gu Fei had no doubt they would have broken if they were the ones facing this situation right nohich was entirely unlike Sword De the wall

But staying calrew nearer while Sword Demon remained rather slow in his ascent Several Archers rushed forward, drawing their bows and beginning to fire their arrows

“Hold on!” Gu Fei yelled as his two hands flung out

Two snaps could be heard as two arroere suddenly struck froround The Archers below could clearly see that the Mage on the wall had thrown soed to intercept their arrows' ht

“fuck, that's a little too much!” everyone exclaimed as they stared, dumbfounded

That was really lucky… To think I ed to hit two… Gu Fei muttered to himself This was a result that had been beyond his expectations as well He had thrown a total of fivehis luck After all, the speed of the arrows Archers could fire was a weapons Gu Fei had used were comparatively slower only served to increase the difficulty ofthe hit Gu Fei did not really have faith that he would succeed and was uessed that he would be so fortunate as to score two hits with the five knives?

As for the re three arrows, one of thee another as he ate the last shot He was no more than just a short reach away from the ramparts at this point By the ti shots were already easily within Gu Fei's reaching distance

Sword Derabbed the top of the ra out the arrow on his back, he sighed in relief “That was close”

“Let's go!” Gu Fei got the grappling hooks and secured the this, the two calth of the ith the rope This attempt to sneak into the Government City Hall had finally couild battle, which was happening over by the courtyard still in full swing, was no longer of their concern

“What do you think will be inside that cellar?” The twothe street, heartlessly continuing their discussion over this quest, completely unperturbed that al their lives due to their actions today; that was truly the cruel fate of the bit characters!

“I don't know,” Gu Fei replied What does a cellar have to do with the quest to assassinate Giordano?

“I guess on't have any idea what to expect until we open it ourselves,” Sword Demon said

“But where are we gonna find the key…” Gu Fei mumbled

“Should we go back and search that Sleeping assassin again?” Sword Demon asked

“Do we have any other solutions?”

“Lockpicking skill I wonder if we know anyone that has learned that skill,” Sword Demon said
