Chapter 1353 - : Assassin Monarch (1/2)
The scenery in Twilight City has never changed ever since the game started, thus Fearless was naturally uninterested in it. The reason why he was loitering around the streets of Twilight City was to discover any new NPCs added into the game and receive their quests. It should be known that the game was recently updated, and was the period of time in which those hidden NPCs and quests had yet to be activated by the players.
With this new update, there were indeed many new NPCs in Twilight City. However, most of these NPCs were utility NPCs. A player would not be able to receive any quests from them. Only those NPCs that lurked in hidden corners were those who handed out hidden quests.
At this moment, as Fearless was loitering around the streets, a group of players had arrived in Twilight City.
This group of players equipped leather armor and all had a dagger hanging on their waist, appearing out of place.
It was known to everyone that the only job class in <<REBIRTH>> that used Daggers was the Assassin.
Even though the Assassin excelled in PK battles, it was rare for a team to be entirely composed of them.
After all, <<REBIRTH>> was a game that heavily depended on the players’ team composition. If there was any slight imbalance in the team composition, a weakness would easily surface in the team, much less a team like this that only comprised of Assassins.
This leader of this group of Assassins had hidden his face behind a mask.
In <<REBIRTH>>, there was a rather unique type of headgear that could be equipped by Assassins, called a Mask. Thus, it wasn’t rare to see Assassins that hid their faces behind these Masks. However, even though the face of the leader was concealed, it wasn’t difficult to tell that the leader of this group was a woman given the curves of her figure.
After stepping out of the teleportation circle of Twilight City, the leading female Assassin carefully analysed the surroundings before sternly asking her other team members, “I’m sure all of you are aware of our opponent this time right?”
“We understand!” the group of Assassins replied eagerly.
“It’s good that you understand!”
The female Assassin nodded her head and said, “This is more than just a quest for us, rather, it is a challenge. I’m sure there’s no need for me to explain the capabilities of our targets this time around, so everyone had better give in your 100%. Do not drag out the fight at all costs and make a run for it if you are unable to defeat your opponent, got it?”
“Understood!”
“We shall proceed as planned.”
After speaking, the group activated [Stealth] simultaneously and vanished from the teleportation point.
…
At this moment, Fearless had arrived in a small alley. The moment he walked into the alley, he felt that something was amiss. All of a sudden, a figure ran towards Fearless from the other end of the alley.
This figure was only about 1.2 metres in height and seemed like a child around seven to eight years old. In <<REBIRTH>>, players couldn’t be registered if they weren’t above 12 years old, thus Fearless naturally thought that the owner of that figure was an NPC. Upon realising this, his heart leapt with joy as he walked forward to meet the figure.
Who would have thought that the moment the figure arrived right in front of Fearless, it took out a dagger and stabbed it towards Fearless from his front?
“F*ck!!”
Being the big boss of the bunch of crazy people in Quan Zhen Sect, even though he could not be compared with Wang Yu, his reaction time was still extremely quick. Upon seeing the little kid thrusting his dagger over, Fearless exclaimed in shock as he frantically activated [Sacred Ray] over his head before the dagger could pierce into it, triggering the [Invincibility] effect.
“Dang!!”
The moment the dagger landed on Fearless’ figure, a light a clear sound resounded throughout the alley. Even though Fearless wasn’t damaged by the attack, he took a few steps back after receiving the impact of it.
