Upon advancing to a Master class, the concept of skills would be flipped over on its head .
This was a completely new realm, a world that Nie Yan had never made contact with before in the previous timeline . He gazed at the description of Mode: Release . Mode: Release
Description: Evolve all the user’s active skills into freedom skills . All movement restrictions on skills are removed . Possesses offensive properties . Duration: 20 minutes . Cooldown: 1 day .
“Evolving all active skills into freedom skills…” Nie Yan gasped . “That’s insane! But what does all movement restrictions removed and possesses offensive properties mean?”
Nie Yan pondered for a moment . His mind was filled with uncertainty . It appeared he would have to confirm the effects of Mode: Release for himself . Any guess was as good as another at this point .
“I’ll learn it after I’ve advanced to a Luminous Dancer . ” Nie Yan put away the Mode: Release skill book in his bag . He’d gone through great dangers to acquire this skill, and it was all worth it .
After finding nothing else, Nie Yan left the room . He led Lafus and Lil’ Gold deeper into the underground tomb .
The further they travelled, killing numerous Dark Maidens along the way, the more Nie Yan realized the immensity of this place . The winding and twisting passages were just like a labyrinth . After reaching the end of yet another corridor, a large stone door appeared up ahead . Beside the entrance stood a large demonic statue with a malevolent look on its face .
The door was slightly ajar, leaving just enough of an opening for a single person to slip through . Nie Yan peered inside and saw more than 20 humanoid monsters in blood red robes roaming around . They clearly weren’t Dark Maidens . He didn’t dare to barge in . He had Lil’ Gold and Lafus remain on standby, then stealthily approached himself .
Nie Yan inspected one of the humanoid monsters . Transcendent Insight! Sacrificial Blood Maiden (Elite): Level 120 Health: 500,000/500,000
These were Elites! There were more than 20 altogether . Nie Yan had no way of dealing with so many ranged monsters .
The Sacrificial Blood Maidens were different from the Dark Maidens from before . If over 20 Level 120 Elites started attacking all at once, they could easily obliterate Lil’ Gold and Lafus into dust .
The Sacrificial Blood Maidens were guarding an entrance . Though they were patrolling around, they were never more than two meters apart from each other .
Lil’ Gold and Lafus had no way of passing through . However, Nie Yan was different .
After thinking for a bit, Nie Yan recalled Lil’ Gold and terminated Lafus’ contract . Lafus had already been summoned for a little over three hours . Since the fee was calculated based on the nearest hour rounding up, he had to pay 80,000 gold . This was a frightening sum .
After selling off all the ordinary loot he picked up, Nie Yan would only make back around 60,000 gold at most . However, he didn’t mind taking this loss at all since he had obtained Mode: Release . Shadow Dancer skill books were priceless . This wasn’t something you could find in the marketplace!
Summoning Lafus was worth it . Such a powerful Paladin was definitely worth the price .
A malicious thought flashed through Nie Yan’s mind . “Hehe, should I summon Lafus during the war against Divine Protectors? I can just imagine the looks on their faces…” Lafus was an unrivalled Paladin .
Glancing at his bag, Nie Yan still had five Unknown Transfer Scrolls left . If he encountered danger, he wouldn’t have to worry about escaping .
Even though Unknown Transfer Scrolls in Asskickers United were in scarce supply, most players having to do without, Guo Huai would always set aside a portion for Nie Yan’s exclusive use . After all, he was the backbone of the guild .
Nie Yan equipped the Crawler Ring, activated its ability, and then started climbing up the wall . After reaching the top of the door, he snuck in through the crack .
The Crawler Ring was always useful for getting around monsters . This was a time-tested method .
After sneaking inside, Nie Yan looked around . A wide and spacious hall appeared before his eyes . At the center stood a six-meter tall golden statue that looked similar to Pharaoh Brannigan . Its arms and hands were held out together . A silver-gray leather chestplate floated above its palms . It was crafted out of an unknown material and let out a silver radiance under the light of the nearby torches .
In front of this chestplate, the Holy Stone in Nie Yan’s inventory shone even more brilliantly .
“I’ve found it! It’s the chestpiece from the Tyrant Abak Set!”
Stone obelisks lined both sides of the hall . Candles were affixed to the walls and pillars stretched out into the distance . The flickering lights and shadows evoked a mysterious atmosphere .
“Strange, I don’t see any monsters here . Don’t tell me it’s unguarded?” Nie Yan was bewildered . This situation was way too suspicious . He didn’t dare to come down . He proceeded forward along the wall .
After a while, a humanoid monster in a black dress walked out from behind a pillar . It paced around the red carpet in the center of the hall, briefly stopping every now and then .
Nie Yan’s mind trembled at this familiar figure . It was Phantom Princess Ina!
Phantom Princess Ina would revive 30 days after being killed . She would become stronger on every revival and chase after the Abak’s Gloves of Sealing in Nie Yan’s possession .
Calculating the time, it had already been 30 days since an expedition team last killed Phantom Princess Ina .
Nie Yan wondered how much stronger she had gotten .
Being stalked by Phantom Princess Ina was a bit troublesome . After retrieving the chestpiece from the Tyrant Abak Set, he would teleport away with an Unknown Transfer Scroll .
Nie Yan pondered for a moment . A plan took shape in his mind to obtain the chestpiece without alerting Phantom Princess Ina of his presence .
The statue was about 10 meters away from the closest wall .
Like a gecko, Nie Yan crawled in that direction .
Phantom Princess Ina seemed to sense something and looked over in Nie Yan’s direction .
Nie Yan immediately froze in place, not daring to budge an inch . He activated several skills that increased his Cloaking and Stealth .
Phantom Princess Ina’s gaze swept over Nie Yan’s body several times, but she failed to discover anything out of place . She turned away and returned to an idle state .
Nie Yan continued moving forward, inching closer and closer to the chestpiece . At about 10 meters away, he planted his right hand and feet firmly against the wall . He then extended out his left hand and took careful aim before shooting out a web line from his Silk Spinner Ring .
