Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 341

Chapter 341

Chapter 341 – Devil Slayer

Nie Yan reminded Father Nie that the War God Tribe and Asskickers United would inevitably touch upon the interests of the Century Financial Group . It would be troublesome when such a big player took notice of them . So before then, it was crucial to prepare as many hidden cards as possible!

Father Nie left since he still had business to attend to back at the company . Nie Yan finished up dinner and headed upstairs to his room, where he put on his game helmet and entered Conviction .

When Nie Yan logged back on, he was greeted by nothing but darkness . This would continue to be an issue until he increased his Night Vision .

Players on opposite factions were barred from viewing each other’s forums, so there was a veil of mystery between the two sides . The game developers added this to spice up the gameplay . However, players could still obtain information on the opposing faction through various other channels . During the server’s downtime, the players from the Undead Empire had gathered some intel on Nie Yan .

It was impossible for Nie Yan’s identity as the guild leader of Asskickers United to remain a secret . Furthermore, some of his videos had also been dug up and disseminated among the players of the Undead Empire .

Nie Yan’s bounty was consequently raised to 500 gold . This was the limit for the players who died to him .

Nie Yan was all by himself, and even though he was a guild leader, he couldn’t mobilize any of the members under him . 500 gold was a fair reward . It was enough to entice quite a few experts into tracking him down . After all, such profitable opportunities were few and far between .

Nie Yan naturally understood his own situation, which was why he never stayed in one location for too long .

Nie Yan still hadn’t found a village this whole time . As he continued travelling west, a system notification popped up .

Nie Yan was somewhat familiar with Falling Gully . Before travelling to the Underworld, he had searched up some information about the maps in the Demon Tribe and Undead Empire . He recalled that just a few kilometers from here was a village called Valitin Graveyard Village .

It had a transfer point connecting to the nearest city!

Nie Yan immediately started making his way through Falling Gully . There were piles of rubble everywhere . He saw Level 50 Miner Zombies and an occasional Elite Zombie Foreman roaming around .

Level 50 mobs were a bit difficult to deal with for Nie Yan . But before long, he successfully took control of four Zombie Miners with Undead Rite . He used them to capture a Zombie Foreman, losing three of them in the process .

The Zombie Foreman was a two meter tall hulk of rotting flesh . It was covered in chains and carried a large hammer . It was a bit slow since it moved with a limp, but it was quite powerful .

With one Zombie Foreman, capturing successive ones would be much easier . Nie Yan used Undead Rite to take command of two more . With Lil’ Gold and three Zombie Foremen, his mobbing speed increased exponentially .  

As Nie Yan swept through the monsters in his path, he suddenly received a system notification .

A title advancement! Nie Yan quickly checked the properties of his new title .

It went all the way up to a Rank 16 Paladin with an hourly fee of 500,000 gold . This kind of cost wasn’t something an ordinary player could bear . These Paladins could buff the players with the most basic blessings . They also had basic attack, heal, and shield skills that corresponded to their rank . The only exception was the Rank 16 Paladin who could use high rank Templar Magic . If a hired Paladin died, the player was required to pay 200% of the total fee .

Nie Yan was a little perplexed by why the Devil Slayer title gave such a skill .

Any holder of the Devil Slayer title was undoubtedly a heaven-defying figure . Outside of pursuing balance, Conviction also generously rewarded the truly powerful . This was because when the federation first created the game, besides using the game helmets to enhance humanity’s physique, they were also trying to scout the best elites .

Elite players could obtain extremely powerful skills . Not only Nie Yan, but other players also had the same opportunities . In the previous timeline, there were hundreds of players with the Junior Devil Slayer title . However, they all obtained this title when they were well over Level 100 . Perhaps Nie Yan was the first player to receive it at such a low level .

Nie Yan would have to carefully consider if he wanted to use Divine Recruitment . The hourly fee was a bit expensive . It probably wouldn’t be worthwhile to summon a Paladin unless he was backed into a corner .

Intimidate and Deterrence also received an upgrade . Overall, the rewards of the Junior Devil Slayer title were pretty good .

Nie Yan thought for a moment . With the Junior Devil Slayer title, it was rumoured he could access a secret shop in Calore and purchase items that were unavailable to ordinary players . The vast majority of goods sold there were for hunting evil creatures . Many of them were quite useful .

Nie Yan planned to check out the secret shop after returning to Calore . He wondered what sort of benefits he could reap from the place .

Nie Yan brought his three Zombie Foremen and Lil’ Gold to a thicket in the Falling Gully . He saw a flash of magic light up the darkness far in the distance like twinkling stars .

Nie Yan entered stealth and went over there to investigate .

Under his control, the three Zombie Foremen and Lil’ Gold followed closely behind him .

Nie Yan was hidden in the darkness . After running for about a minute, he finally got close enough to see over 60 players fighting a giant five meter tall zombie . It had a disgusting appearance, looking like a rotund mass of rotting flesh . It was unceasingly slashing away with the giant machete in its hand .

Nie Yan activated Transcendent Insight .

What a huge amount of health!

It was a Level 50 Lord . No wonder there were so many players!

Nie Yan gazed at this group of 60 players . The frontliners surrounded the Zombie Overseer while the casters in the back fired magic at it nonstop . They were quite organized, with their levels ranging from Level 40–47 . He didn’t know if the players from the Evil Faction were roughly around the same level as the players from the Righteous Faction . However, he felt these before him were probably regarded as elites . He quickly spotted their leader, a Necromancer who was issuing a steady stream of commands .

The Necromancer wore a black robe with three golden medals on his chest, which dazzled brilliantly under the flashes of magic . He looked to be around 25 years old . He had fair skin and blonde hair, making him resemble an aristocrat . He was probably of foreign descent . Under his command, their teamwork was near flawless . It appeared this fellow was a natural leader .

Nie Yan inspected the Necromancer .

Necromancers were notorious for being a difficult class to level early on . Only after reaching Level 60 and learning the Soul Splitting skill, which allowed them to control more undead, would their levelling speed increase . For Dark to have reached Level 47 at this stage of the game was quite the feat .

Nie Yan was hesitating on what he should do next . Kill these players? For him, this was actually possible!

Since they were in the middle of dealing with a Level 50 Lord, he could probably wipe them all out if he took action . When players from the Righteous Faction and Evil Faction encountered each other, it was usually a case of if I don’t kill you, you’ll kill me!
