Chapter 94: Recruiting (1/2)

Outside the city near the edge of Frost Forest, Iron Pardon suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look at Yamete. He couldn’t help but laugh loudly. “You actually came after us? What an idiot! Brothers, kill that blind fool and teach him a lesson!”

The assassin that had been trailing behind Yamete launched into action the second he received his order!

“Ah?”

Yamete let out a cry of surprise. He just realized that he walked right into the trap his enemies had set up from him. In a sense, Iron Pardon wasn’t wrong to call him an idiot. At the very least, Yamete’s brain wasn’t as big as his humongous head might suggest.

Puchi!

But before the assassin could activate Cold Blade and cut down Yamete, he shuddered, looking down in disbelief. A cold, eerie blade was protruding from his chest, and it was none other than my Ghost Ice Soul! Hmph hmph, Yamete’s level wasn’t high enough to see through the assassin’s stealth, but that wasn’t the case for me. Level 42 assassin’s figure was as clear as day to me within 7 meter radius.

Pop!

The assassin died immediately and dropped a bunch of common potions.

I waved a hand and summoned my Dark Wasp into existence. Then, I shot a hostile look toward the dozen or so Mad Dragon guild players. Since the assassin had died by my hands, my ID obviously turned blood-red in an instant. It was of no concern to me, however. I was a Night Creature of the neutral faction, so the protection of the city extended to me as well.

Iron Pardon glared at me hatefully. If looks could kill, he would have killed me many times over. He shouted angrily, “What is the meaning of this, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand? This is none of your business!”

I stepped on the assassin’s corpse and chuckled. “If there’s a bump on the road, why not remove it? You think I’m meddling? No, I just can’t stand watching a bunch of noobs abusing their power and bullying others, that’s all.”

“Are you calling the Mad Dragon guild ‘noobs’?” Iron Pardon looked absolutely furious.

I smiled in return and said, “Oh my, sharp of you to notice that. You’re smarter than I thought.”

“Fuck you!”

Iron Pardon was furious, shouting at his guild members, “Brothers, kill that bastard! I heard he got the moniker ‘Silver Moon Devil’ or ‘Reaper’ or something after he farmed Dominating Knight God, Dominating Archer God, and Dominating Mage God at Silver Moon Valley. Hmph! Let’s expose his true colors and show he’s nothing but a fraud!”

I quickly verified the enemies’ numbers and classes as they charged toward me. Five warriors, two mages, two priests, one archer, and one tactician. Very balanced and meta composition!

Swhoosh!

I simply raised my eyebrows and said, “Cut the crap, will you? It’s way too late to say those things now anyway. Heal me if you’re a real man!”

Yamete’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Okay. Let’s kill them all, brother!”

“Heh!”

I was already charging toward the enemy by the time he answered me. To be honest, I wasn’t too worried about the situation because the enemy only had two mages and one archer. After all, my Defense was high, I had the Ghost Deity Armor skill, and a high-level priest to support me. The only real threat to me was long-range damage, and they didn’t have nearly enough firepower to put me down!

My first target was Iron Pardon. He was the greatest threat out of all these people!

I turned the edge of my blade without warning and pounced at the ace warrior of Mad Dragon. Ghost Ice Soul became covered in a sheen of ice as I got ready to activate Ice Ray!

“What?! A Level 50 skill?”

Iron Pardon didn’t dare treat me lightly. He forcefully twisted his body out of the way to avoid a direct blow.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t predict my next move. The second we brushed past each other, I suddenly sped up and caught up to him from behind. Then, I swung the Ghost Ice Soul at his body!

Ice Ray!

589!

Slayer Slash!

542!

Fuck, Iron Pardon’s Defense is surprisingly high. I didn’t expect to hit him for so little despite using 2 killer moves in a row. The enemy priest tossed a heal at him, and he was out of immediate danger!

“Heh, die!”

Iron Pardon suddenly charged toward me and swung his sword across my neck. It was a ruthless attack to say the least.

With no hesitation, I bent my body so that his attack would hit my shoulder. At the same time, I stabbed the Ghost Ice Soul into his back!

Puchi!

531!

Nothing could save him this time. Both his level and equipment were slightly inferior to mine, so his defeat was sealed.

Thud!

Iron Pardon slowly dropped to the ground and passed away.

Thud thud!

Two Devil Piercing Arrows hit my chest as the enemy archer finally took action. At the same time, a Fire Dragon Roar engulfed my body before I could react. I had lost over 700 HP after taking three long-ranged attacks in a row!

Swhoosh!
