Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: 472

Chapter 472 - Lying in Ambush!

Unlocking the seals was incredibly difficult . Even up until now, Nie Yan had only removed one seal . For the sake of restoring this Godly Legendary-grade weapon back to its full power, he could only move steadily forward without looking back .

Nie Yan glanced at the loot the Demonsmith dropped, a fragment of silver metal .

Eight fragments were required to make a complete Silver Mining Pick . This pick was a specialized tool for Miners . Despite not being a production profession, gathering professions like Mining were equally important .

The Silver Mining Pick’s properties were a mystery, but items that required the collection of fragments to be complete were usually worth the effort . For example, even though Nie Yan’s Splitting Edge attack power was a bit low, its supplementary skills more than made up for this .

With Lil’ Gold’s health recovered back to full, Nie Yan drew the aggro of another Demonsmith and continued casting Undead Rite . After killing two Demonsmiths in a row, he finally succeeded on the third one, turning it into his servant .

Under the effects of Undead Rite, the Demonsmith’s health increased from 50,000 to 60,000 . Its defense, attack power, and other stats received considerable boosts as well .  

Like this, dealing with the Demonsmiths became much easier . Nie Yan continued luring them over, one at a time .

About 10 minutes later, six Demonsmith corpses were lying on the ground .

Nie Yan used his crossbow to aggro over two Demonsmiths, having his summons tank them while he repeatedly targeted them with Undead Rite . Suddenly, he felt a cold nip at the back of his neck . Thieves!

This place was full of Level 90 monsters . Ordinary Thieves wouldn’t come here to level!

After giving it some thought, Nie Yan slapped his head . He had revealed himself in such a showy manner at the square, then entered the top layer of Golden City all by himself under the gaze of thousands of eyes . Of course, those harboring malicious intentions wouldn’t sit still .

Nie Yan’s gaze turned chilly . Since these fellows dared to come after him, he would naturally make sure they didn’t leave this place alive!

Those Thieves were hiding in a corner and likely wouldn’t take action easily . Nie Yan simply continued on with his own business, expanding his army of Demonsmiths .

In a dark corner, six pairs of eyes were observing Nie Yan’s every move .  

「Sky Felled, what kind of skill is Nirvana Flame using? It’s ridiculous!」a Thief asked in a cold sweat . A skill that could turn a Level 90 Elite into your personal servant, this was simply unimaginable! 

「I’m not sure . Just stay alert . Don’t act without thinking and stay far away from Nirvana Flame . Maintain a distance of at least 30 meters . His Awareness is too high . It’ll be troublesome if he discovers us,」Sky Felled cautioned . He didn’t know what Nie Yan’s perception range was . It was better to be safe than sorry . That said, the sight of Nie Yan taking control of the Demonsmiths was truly shocking .

Luckily, it didn’t seem like Nie Yan had noticed them . Sky Felled feared what would happened if Nie Yan discovered them . Would any of them make it out alive? He prayed Blazing and his group would arrive soon .

They were all part of God Executioner Sword, a guild that had recently risen to power . They were far weaker than Asskickers United, but they were unrivalled in Moonlight City . Sky Felled and Blazing were both members of God Executioner Sword’s hundred Thief task force . Blazing was a captain, and Sky Felled an elite member . They had received the guild leader’s orders to hunt down Nirvana Flame, partially to weaken the strength of Asskickers United and partially to obtain the bounty on his head . At the same time, they could also fan the flames between Asskickers United and Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors . This was hitting three birds with one stone!

Both God Executioner Sword and Penumbra Empire were newly arisen powers . As long as they didn’t provoke Asskickers United, Alliance of Mages, or Divine Protectors, they could covertly fish up some benefits from the sidelines .

It was simply a question of whether or not these people could kill Nirvana Flame .

Seeing Nie Yan controlling several Demonsmiths in a leisurely manner, Sky Felled knitted his brows . It appeared the Mad Rogue’s undefeated streak wasn’t simply due to luck .

「Three Demonsmiths already . Just how many does he plan to capture!?」

「Probably not that many . We also don’t know how long they’ll last either . 」

Listening to the discussion of his companions, Sky Felled gazed up ahead . Nie Yan, clad in dark leather armour and wielding the flaming black Zennarde’s Sword, looked truly awe inspiring while being guarded by the three Demonsmiths and Golden Dragon .

「Did one of you get a recording?」

「I did . 」

The six Thieves talked in voice chat while hiding behind a statue . All the obstacles here provided great cover .

After a while, Sky Felled received word that Blazing along with six other Thieves had arrived . These players were the top Thieves of God Executioner Sword . Including him, that made eight .

「Retreat back to the hallway and remain on standby . Don’t stray too far away,」Sky Felled ordered . With them looking for an opportunity to ambush Nie Yan, these ordinary Thieves would only be getting in the way by staying here . It was better to have them keep watch in the hallway .

「Alright, we’ll be leaving then . Take care, Sky Felled . 」

Sky Felled met up with Blazing and the six other Thieves .

Blazing was a slim middle-aged man . He wore a black skintight bodysuit and wielded an azure dagger in each hand . He was currently stealthed within the shadows . He, Skyfelled, and the six other Thieves could definitely be counted as top experts . The Thieves placed on lookout duty in the hallway were also fairly skilled .

「Don’t act unless you see a suitable opportunity . Listen to my command . When we go in, we have to kill Nirvana Flame immediately!」Blazing said . He understood that the repercussions would be grave if their ambush failed .

Blazing and the others hid behind a golden statue more than 30 meters away from Nie Yan . They were confident in their abilities to hide from his detection .

After Nie Yan succeeded in taking control of his fourth Demonsmith, he knitted his brows . Those several Thieves appeared to have disappeared . Did they already leave?

The stealthing capability of those Thieves was too lacking, allowing Nie Yan to detect them from more than 30 meters away . However, the stats of Blazing’s group were much higher . Nie Yan couldn’t sense them at all .

Nie Yan only took control of four Demonsmiths . He usually didn’t max out the minion count . For the sake of time efficiency, four was enough . Besides, he could still cast Undead Rite if anything came up .

Nie Yan became a lot more daring, aggroing and killing mobs without pause .  

Boasting giant muscular and burly figures with dark golden skin, merely looking at these four hammer wielding Demonsmiths guarding Nie Yan’s side made Blazing break out in a cold sweat . Just where did he get all these bizarre skills? It was too frightening!

「I just received word that another group of Thieves are making their way over here . Their numbers are unclear . It seems like they’re from Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors, What should we do?」Sky Felled reported .

「Let them come . Let’s move a bit further away and enjoy the show,」Blazing replied .  

「Swoop in at the last minute?」Sky Felled eyes lit up .  

Blazing nodded . Their group found a good hiding spot a little further into the hall .

A group of roughly 40 Thieves entered the hall . They belonged to the special task force of Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors . Assassination missions were usually handed over to them .

Their leader was a Thief called Dark Wing . He looked around 30 years old and wore a full set of Level 60 Dark Gold-grade equipment .

「Where’s Shadow Killer?」 Dark Wing asked .

「I don’t know . He didn’t tell us his location . He disappeared the moment we entered Golden City . 」

Dark Wing frowned . He really disliked Shadow Killer and his haughty attitude—always moving on his own and never taking orders . However, the orders from the higher ups stated that Shadow Killer was to be left to his own devices . He would be an ally when the time came .

Dark Wing felt a threat to his authority . He couldn’t understand why the higher ups would have such a person join them . He really wanted to teach that bastard a lesson . However, Shadow Killer wasn’t falling for his provcations . Every time they met, he could clearly sense the disdain and contempt in Shadow Killer’s eyes . This sort of expression pissed him off more than anything .

「Whatever, ignore him . Everyone, listen up . Today we’re going to assassinate Nirvana Flame . Failure is not an option . We have to show the world that no one is invincible! One man cannot face an army! Some things cannot be done alone!」Dark Wing said .

「Yes!」The Thieves shouted in unison .

Nie Yan was leading the four Demonsmiths deeper into the hall when he suddenly sensed something . His heart shook—Thieves!

He could clearly sense he was already surrounded by a group of Thieves, quite a few at that . They were only 20 meters away .

This was already an extremely safe distance . The perception range of most Thieves didn’t extent past 20 meters . But common sense didn’t apply to Nie Yan .

Nie Yan’s stats had already far exceeded the imagination of these players . Not a single Thief could match him in this sense . Grand Scholar, Devil Slayer, and 10,000-Man Commander, he had accumulated these titles bit by bit . Each one represented a milestone most players could never hope to attain .

No Thief could escape his detection within a five meter range . Of course, Thieves with special hiding skills were excluded .

More than 30 Thieves were hiding behind the numerous statues in the hall . The tension in the air was palpable . In the next moment, this place would be transformed into a killing field .
