The simultaneous attacks from the three Assassins caused a lot of damage to Blackie. Even though he wore several pieces of Common Cloth Armor, he had still lost nearly half of his HP.
System: Guild [Shadow] has attacked your party. All party members are allowed to attack members of Guild [Shadow] without penalty. Duration of 1 hour.
“I’ll fight you guys.”
Blackie knew he was sure to die. His speed was not comparable with an Assassin’s. However, he also wanted to retaliate before he died. Blackie started chanting a curse, firing a Dark Arrow towards Quiet Wolf at zero distance.
Quiet Wolf smiled in disdain. Although the arrow was unavoidable, he still had 80 HP at Level 0. How strong could a Cursemancer’s attack be? Could it possibly instant-kill him?
Hong! The Dark Arrow hit Quiet Wolf.
A damage of 76 points appeared above Quiet Wolf’s head, instantly leaving him with only some leftover HP.
Quiet Wolf immediately became dumbfounded after seeing such damage; his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. The other two Assassins were equally shocked.
How is this even a Cursemancer?! This was just a cannon!
The person who dealt the damage was also shocked. Blackie had never imagined that the Level 3 Dark Arrow would be so powerful.
In reality, however, it wasn’t just the Level 3 Dark Arrows taking effect. There was also the high damage Blackwood Staff, the aura effect of Might Of A Thousand, and the bonus damage from level suppression. Such extreme damage was only possible with all these added together.
“Crap Let’s kill him, brothers. His Staff is definitely a Mysterious-Iron Equipment,” as a veteran gamer, Quiet Wolf quickly reacted, revealing his greed towards Blackie’s weapon. Blackie being able to deal such a high damage was definitely due to a Mysterious-Iron Weapon. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to nearly instant-kill Quiet Wolf.
Suddenly, the other two Assassins became full of energy as they rushed towards Blackie. Not to mention a Mysterious-Iron Weapon, they didn’t even have a Common Weapon. If they could get Blackie’s Mysterious-Iron Weapon, then they would profit beautifully.
The three Assassins attacked again, leaving Blackie with only 6 HP remaining. When they saw that Blackie was about to die, the three Assassins became even more excited; the Mysterious-Iron Weapon was about to come into their hands.
At this moment, with unbelievable movement methods, Shi Feng appeared in front, blocking Blackie. Three sword strikes blocked the attacks from the three Assassins, creating three sparks. All three Assassins were sent flying backward.
Before the Assassins could get over their shock, streaks of thunder appeared within their vision.
Three streaks of thunder struck the Assassins that were still floating in midair.
Damages of -32, -41, -50appeared on all three of their heads, all of their HP dropping to 0. Their bodies turned into starlight and disappeared within an instant.
Because Assassins had low Defense and were under level suppression, the effect of a Level 2 Thundering Flash was extremely horrifying!
“Brother Feng……” Blackie became dumbfounded as he looked at Shi Feng’s back, dumbly saying, “Are you Brother Feng?”
Everything had happened all too quickly. Shi Feng had suddenly appeared and swung his sword three times, blocking three attacks from different directions. Then, he had followed it up with a Thundering Flash. All of these actions had been carried out within an instant. It was so fast that the Assassins could not even react.
Shi Feng’s actions and reactions were just inhuman. If Blackie wasn’t familiar with the Shi Feng in front of him, he might have even thought it was someone else pretending to be Shi Feng.
After sweeping his gaze around, Shi Feng discovered eight players surrounding them. Leading these players was Flaming Tiger. Shi Feng no longer dared to stay behind, hurriedly saying, “Why are you still in a daze? Let’s go.”
Shi Feng had activated Fast And Nimble, completely releasing his body’s degree of freedom. However, even though he had a constitution that could keep up and react to his thoughts, his actual body’s Attributes were too low. He had a very hard time controlling his body, and it was also mentally taxing. Taking explosive maneuvers two to three times was still possible, but doing it long-term was definitely too much. The enemies also consisted of numerous healers and Jobs that equipped plate armor. Shi Feng and Blackie’s only choice, now, was to run away.
Blackie continuously nodded his head.
“Everyone go at them. You must definitely get me my Bronze Equipment and take over this mine.” Flaming Tiger licked the corner of his lips. He was extremely excited. He did not mind the death of the three Assassins at all.
Originally, Flaming Tiger was still burning with rage. They had spent hours at Dark Moon Valley searching for Shi Feng and his partner, causing their leveling speed to fall greatly. However, they had accidentally discovered Shi Feng and Blackie grinding monsters.
At first, Flaming Tiger had wanted to immediately surround and kill the two. However, when he saw Blackie utilizing the smoke cloud at the cave’s entrance to kill the Level 4 Kobolds, Flaming Tiger nearly died from excitement. His hatred towards Shi Feng had also reduced by a large half. He had even wanted to thank Shi Feng for giving him such a valuable location.
The difficulty of killing monsters of a higher level was famously known. If he could kill Level 4 monsters without any harm, then his leveling speed would be absolutely horrifying. It won’t be more than ten hours before he would be leading the other players. After he had gained a huge advantage over others, the task of uniting Red Leaf Town would be at his fingertips. When that time came, he might even become Shadow Workshop’s Captain.
Countless virtual game companies had closed shop because of God’s Domain’s opening. There were billions of players joining God’s Domain. To obtain their share in this, many enterprises and financial groups started investing in God’s Domain, one after the other. God’s Domain could be said to be the most profitable virtual game in the world.
Flaming Tiger thought about how he would be able to stand out in Red Leaf Town. He thought about forcefully taking the large Guilds down a peg. He also thought about becoming Shadow’s Captain. When that time came, obtaining expensive cars, beautiful ladies, and luxury mansions were only a matter of time. When Flaming Tiger thought of these things, he became unspeakably excited.
He had to appreciate Shi Feng for giving all of these things to him.
However, appreciation remained just appreciation. He still couldn’t let the Bronze Equipment on Shi Feng and Blackie go.
“Brother Tiger, those two are too fast. We can’t catch up to them.” A Berserker said.
“They’re lucky that they run fast. However, this precious piece of land is enough.” Flaming Tiger’s eyes shone when he looked at the mine. He had already fantasized himself leading Red Leaf Town with flair.
“Brother Tiger, what about Quiet Wolf and the other two? The three of them fell back to Level 0. They also lost quite a lot of Skill Proficiency,” an Elementalist asked.
Flaming Tiger rolled his eyes at his subordinate, asking, “Is this even a problem? You saw as well just now. The Kobolds within the smoke cloud won’t attack players if they’re attacked from a distance. Those are Level 4 monsters. Leveling will be easy, so hurry them over here.”
“Brother Tiger is still the smart one. Being able to find such a precious spot, Brother Tiger will definitely become the number one person in Shadow,” the Elementalist started bootlicking Flaming Tiger.
“Scram! Number one person in Shadow? I am the number one person in God’s Domain!” Flaming Tiger angrily responded.
The other members of Shadow also agreed, one after another, laughing at the Elementalist for licking on the wrong boot.
A moment later, three mage players started attacking from a distance. As for the other players, they lured the monsters into the smoke cloud. Under Flaming Tiger’s command, they started killing the Kobolds in an orderly manner.
“Great, this is just great! Even after sharing a Kobold’s EXP with so many people, my experience still increased by 2%.”
“Brother Tiger, this is really fantastic! These monsters also drop ore and a lot of money. Not only that, but these Kobolds also respawn quickly. We can grind here without limits until we reach Level 6. By that time, we Shadow will definitely become Red Leaf Town’s number one Guild.”
The members of Shadow started laughing happily. It wouldn’t take many hours before every one of them reached Level 6. It was already great just imagining how they would suppress the other Guilds in Red Leaf Town.
“Hahaha! Consider yourselves lucky for following me. The other team leaders are nothing. When the time comes, I’ll become Shadow’s Captain.” Flaming Tiger was in a great mood. With such an increase in experience, it wouldn’t take an hour before he rose to Level 2, compensating for his previous losses.
Meanwhile, at the nearby location of Crimson Star Mine, Blackie was grinding his teeth in anger.
“Brother Feng, are we just going to let this go? That was hard-to-obtain information that came from a Beta Tester, but now it’s just profiting these people. I get angry just from thinking about it. These people from Shadow are just shameless. Fortunately, I didn’t join them.”
Shi Feng shook his head as he looked at the System Panel’s clock, smiling indifferently, “They dare to steal my things. We’ll let them enjoy it for now. In a moment, we’ll let them know after happiness comes sorrow.”
Time passed, bit by bit.
Shi Feng and Blackie did not just do nothing. They were killing Level 4 Roaming Gnomes in a place not far from Crimson Star Mine.
[Roaming Gnome] (Common)
Level 4
HP 400
Compared to the Kobolds, the Roaming Gnomes were much more agile. They were very good at dodging. However, their Attack and Defense weren’t all that good.
Moreover, Dark Moon Valley had yet to be developed. The monsters here were more numerous, and there was nobody here to compete with; there was no need to search for monsters to kill.
Shi Feng was already a Level 3 Swordsman, while Blackie was a Level 2 Cursemancer. After activating Fast And Nimble, the Roaming Gnome’s dagger had no chance of even touching Shi Feng. As for Blackie, his damage was even fiercer after drinking a Black Steel Beer. With Shi Feng entangling the gnomes in the front, and Blackie dealing damage from behind, killing off the Roaming Gnomes became very easy. The efficiency was even better than grinding off the Kobolds.
In the front of the Crimson Star Mine, groups of Kobolds laid still before the mine’s entrance. Copper Coins and various kinds of ores were scattered all over the ground.
“Brother Tiger, this place is just too great. It’s just been over half an hour, and everyone is already Level 2. So much money dropped, as well.”
“Hahaha, keep up the effort everyone. You three, lure more monsters. As long as we continue grinding this way, it will only be three to four hours before we can rise to Level 3.”
Flaming Tiger excitedly commanded the three Assassins that just recently arrived to lure the Kobolds. The mages were already Level 2, so the speed of killing the Kobolds had increased by a big leap. Luring a group of over thirty Kobolds was not enough for them.
“Brother Tiger, something dropped here.” A Berserker held on to a book as he shouted.
“Bring it here, let me have a look at it.” Flaming Tiger said while smiling. He licked his dried lips when he saw something dropped.
After Flaming Tiger received the book, he suddenly started laughing loudly.
“Great, really great! Not only has the spot that kid found after much effort been taken over by me, but if he knew a rare skill for Swordsman was even in my hands? I really want to see that kid’s look of regret.”
“Brother Tiger, I saw that kid when I came here. They were still nearby killing Roaming Gnomes. I’m guessing that they’re still unwilling to leave and still thinking of this place. Why don’t we go over and kill them? Save us some trouble.” A cold glint flashed through Quiet Wolf’s eyes. They were filled with killing intent. He was overcome by a great resentment after being killed twice by Shi Feng.
Flaming Tiger waved his hand; with a disdainful smile on his face as he said, “Then let them look. Watch at how fast we level up and earn money, and at how we become the tyrants of Red Leaf Town. Meanwhile, they can only watch from a side with their hearts full of regret and unwillingness. Hahaha, I feel great just thinking about it.”
Although Quiet Wolf still held some resentment over it, when he imagined Shi Feng’s unwilling appearance and how he could only exhaust himself killing Roaming Gnomes Quiet Wolf’s heart felt a great gust of pleasure.
“Just you wait. The moment I reach Level 6 will be your death.” Quiet Wolf did not actually give up on killing Shi Feng. Instead, when he thought about the pleasure he would feel after killing Shi Feng when he was Level 6, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Meanwhile, in the forest 60 yards South of the Crimson Star Mine, Shi Feng was using a tree to hide while he observed Flaming Tiger and the others.
“Brother Feng, can the two of us handle it?” Blackie asked in a worried tone.
These 11 people were not just any average players. They were experts that had passed Shadow Workshop’s examination. Moreover, there were two healers on their side. It was impossible to kill all of these people just by depending on the two of them.
“Relax. The time is almost up. We’ll just watch the show.” Shi Feng looked at the time, indifferently saying, “In a moment, you go stand at the back. Kill whoever has low HP; don’t let even one of them get away.”
“Time is almost up?” Blackie didn’t understand what it meant.
Shi Feng pointed towards the smoke cloud in front of the Crimson Star Mine’s entrance, saying with a smile, “That Flaming Tiger must think that killing monsters of a higher level is easy. The Smoke Bomb that we placed before we left has a time limit, and only two minutes are left before the hour is up. Did they think they could continuously enjoy my domain after stealing it from me? Now, I’ll teach them how to be proper human beings.”
Blackie was struck with a realization. His worship towards Shi Feng became even greater now.
“Brother Feng is still the smartest. Those brats from Shadow are definitely goners this time.” Blackie said with a grin.
The reason they could cross levels and harmlessly kill Kobolds was that of the Smoke Bombs. They definitely couldn’t do without them. If there were no Smoke Bomb, then the consequences would be horrifying.
Two minutes later, the smoke cloud in front of the Crimson Star Mine slowly dispersed.
“Brother Tiger, why is that smoke cloud disappearing?” an Elementalist asked Flaming Tiger after noticing the disappearing smoke cloud.
“The smoke cloud disappeared? It can’t be.” Flaming Tiger abruptly woke up from his nap. When he looked over at the mine’s entrance, the smoke cloud really did disappear. “If it’s gone, then fine. The smoke cloud might be a periodic thing. Don’t bother with it; keep on grinding.”
Just as Flaming Tiger finished speaking, the usually stupid-looking Kobolds that did not retaliate suddenly looked towards the members of Shadow Workshop in unison.
There were over forty Kobolds with blood red eyes. The Kobolds let out angry growls after finally discovering the people who had been attacking them. Suddenly, they all came rushing forth.
The members of Shadow did not react at all. Within an instant, they were surrounded and given a beating by the Kobolds. A Level 2 player could hardly take 3 hits from a Kobold, not to mention a group of Kobolds.
Seven players died within a blink of an eye. The backline players became a mess as they ran for their lives.
However, the Kobolds were very fast. It only took them moments to catch up to the escaping mages. For each mage, they were gifted a hammer to their heads. The mages quickly lie still on the floor, never to rise up again.
“Crap, what is going on here? Why did these Kobolds suddenly become insane?” Flaming Tiger cursed. He quickly turned tail and ran the moment he noticed the situation turned bad.
They had risen to Level 2 after much effort. However, this death sent them all back to Level 1. There were even three Assassins who were Level 0. It was an absolute loss. With such an increase and decrease, the dream becoming the tyrants of Red Leaf Town also perished. Instead, the current members of Shadow weren’t even up to par with the average player. They were even further away from the other Guilds.
Flaming Tiger’s heart started to bleed in pain.
“We meet again, ‘Brother Tycoon,’” Shi Feng said with an indifferent smile. He currently blocked Flaming Tiger’s escape path.
After seeing Shi Feng’s sneer, even an idiot would understand that the Kobolds’ rebellion had something to do with him.
“You’re dead for sure, kid. You dare to actually scheme against me. If I don’t kill you back to Level 0, then my name will be read backward.” All of Flaming Tiger’s hair stood up in anger. He raised his shield and swung it at Shi Feng.
Compared to the other members of Shadow Workshop, Flaming Tiger’s skills were clearly a tier higher.
With one hand, he used his shield to block Shi Feng’s vision, while he used the other to stab his short sword towards Shi Feng’s vital point. It was simple, yet sinister, and it was very hard to stop.
However, Flaming Tiger’s confident strike struck air.
“Where is he?” Flaming Tiger fixed his gaze to the front. However, there wasn’t even a shadow of a person present.
“Over here.” Shi Feng stood behind Flaming Tiger, his sword waving down.
Chop!
A damage of -36 appeared above Flaming Tiger’s head. His HP had instantly gone from 220 to 184.
When Flaming Tiger was hit, he hurriedly spun around and used [Shield Bash].
However, Shi Feng had long since seen through Flaming Tiger’s movements. He took a step backward and spun his body around, hiding by the shield. Then, Shi Feng arrived once more at Flaming Tiger’s back, giving him another sword slash.
Without the use of any Skills, Shi Feng could only deal 23 damage to a Shield Warrior with high defense.
“You coward! Don’t hide if you have the ability. I can kill you anytime I want!” Flaming Tiger could not land any hits on the agile Shi Feng. His HP was constantly decreasing, and only 83 points of it remained now. He had no way of dealing with Shi Feng’s attacks, so he decided to start ridiculing Shi Feng in hopes of provoking him, allowing Flaming Tiger the chance to kill Shi Feng.
“Sure, I’ll stand here without dodging. Come attack me then.” Shi Feng answered without hesitation.
Flaming Tiger silently smiled. He never imagined that Shi Feng was such a fool, taking the bait with just a small amount of stimulation.
“Watch how I’ll toy with you to death.” Flaming Tiger raised his shield and used [Charge] at Shi Feng. If Shi Feng didn’t dodge, then he could only take the hit forcefully. In terms of Strength, Flaming Tiger wouldn’t lose to Shi Feng.
However, only disappointment was waiting for him.
Just when Flaming Tiger was 2 yards away from Shi Feng, Shi Feng immediately used Thundering Flash.
Three streaks of thunder went past Flaming Tiger’s shield, directly landing on his body. Three high damages appeared above Flaming Tiger’s head, -28, -35, -41, his HP instantly dropping to 0.
“You…… Despicable!” Flaming Tiger glared at Shi Feng. He was furious to the point of spitting out blood. If it weren't for himself rushing towards Shi Feng on his own accord, he wouldn’t have been struck by all the attacks of that skill.
“Are you alright, Brother Tycoon? I said I would stand here without dodging, but I’ve never said I wouldn’t move my hands. How could you be so gullible, even rushing over, yourself?” Shi Feng spread out his arms, showing that it was all a mistake, saying, “Oh, right. I still have to thank Brother Tycoon for earning me so many ores. You’ve saved me a lot of time.”
Flaming Tiger pointed towards Shi Feng, wanting to say something. However, his body had already turned into starlight and disappeared. He couldn’t even utter a single word, only leaving behind a pile of ore and a single book.
