Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 776

Chapter 776: 776



All of the 21 people here had learned multiple languages . Nie Yan knew the most at 13 in total, some of which he learned from the library and others while out exploring . Even those less concerned with learning new languages knew at least five . Everyone spoke Common and Ancient Common . Other fairly common languages were Orcish, Elvish, and Dwarven, each with countless dialects . Koradi was one of the minor dialects of the tauren language .

“What does it say?” Nie Yan asked .

“A lost world sunken into a realm of darkness, a place shrouded in eternal night devoid of all light, when the dimensional door opens, the ancient world will welcome the rays of dawn . Use your hands to make contact with the spirits, then chant out the name of the god, Sigola…” Xie Yao read out the lines . There was a large section of characters further down below, a message surely hidden within . But more conspicuous were the five symbols which matched the ones on the obelisks .

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Undying Scoundrel asked in confusion .

At this moment, Sun and the other four had finished taking care of the five Two-Headed Hellhounds . They gathered over to look at the scroll and pondered the meaning of the characters .

Nie Yan gazed at the symbols on the scroll, then at the obelisks . They only differed in size, with the ones on the obelisks being several times larger . A peculiar energy undulated from these symbols, spreading out into the air .

A light bulb lit up in Nie Yan’s head . He walked over to one of the obelisks, then slowly extended his hand . His mind turned empty as he chanted out in a low tone, “Sigola!”

The low and peculiar chant reverberated through the hearts of all those present .

“What’s the boss doing?” Lustboy asked .

“No idea . ”

Suddenly, the obelisk started shining, emitting a white light like a lamp .

The team members gasped in wonderment .

Nie Yan withdrew his hand . Looking up at the obelisk, everything happened as expected . His conjecture was correct .

After lighting up the first obelisk, Nie Yan walked over to the second .

“Is there an order to lighting up the obelisks?”

“I think so, yeah . ”

The Masters quietly chatted . They didn’t want to disturb Nie Yan .

The minutes ticked away . Nie Yan continued lighting up the second obelisk, then the third, fourth, and fifth . The sequence appeared completely random, but it was all according to the clues provided on the scroll .

When the fifth obelisk was illuminated, a large pillar of light shot up into the sky from the center of the five obelisks . At its base was a door opening, the other side hidden in darkness .

“A teleport gate?” Undying Scoundrel said with a hint of surprise .

“It’s probably the world of darkness mentioned in the scroll,” Summer Bug guessed .

“Boss, are we going inside?” Undying Scoundrel asked .

“Since we’ve already come all the way here, we might as well,” Nie Yan said after thinking it over . The place beyond the portal was probably the heart of Barthe . He could find NPC Morphest there most likely .


Nie Yan led everyone into the portal, shadows dancing around them . When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in another world . The sky was gray and murky as light trickles of rain drops fell down .

Looking off into the horizon, all they saw was a rocky wasteland with patches of vegetation scattered around sporadically .
You have discovered the Lost City of Barthe: World of Darkness .

Nie Yan knitted his brows . It turned out this place was the true lost city of Barthe . The NPC Morphest mentioned in Paternoster Warhammer’s quest had to be here .



The monsters that spawned were hounds covered in ashen fur . They were ugly with rotting flesh hanging from their bodies . Their eyes glowed with a frenzied red, and their mouths were filled with rows of sharp teeth . They looked quite sinister .

No matter where they looked, these monsters were everywhere . Moving in packs of several hundred, they were impossible to get around . The sight of these dense masses of silhouettes dotting the landscape was somewhat unsettling .

When the hounds discovered the arrival of the intruders, they immediately swarmed over from all directions toward Nie Yan’s team . There were thousands upon thousands of them . Some howled to the sky, calling over even more hounds from slightly further away .

Everyone turned vigilant . Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and Lei Su each took a corner, standing in a triangle; Dark Requiem and the Thieves filled the gaps; and the casters huddled up in the middle .

The hounds slowly closed in . They were only 50 meters away from Nie Yan’s team .

“Shit! There’s so many of them!” Undying Scoundrel gloomily cried out .

Nie Yan inspected one of the hounds with Transcendent Insight .
Dark Hound (Elite): Level 160
Health: 800,000/800,000

Most were Elite-class monsters . Only some were the size of lions, towering over the rest . They were Lord-class Dark Hounds with 3,000,000 health .

Their ferocious eyes locked onto Nie Yan’s party, pacing back and forth at about 30 meters away . They bared their sharp teeth and let out low growls .

“Use Flame Wall! Lock us in! Quickly!” Nie Yan ordered .

Tang Yao, Summer Bug, Street Vulture, and the other Magisters quickly raised their staffs, erecting five-meter high flame walls all around them .

These flame walls were set up in close proximity to each other, no more than a meter separating one from the next .

Some of the Dark Hounds in the front were immediately engulfed by the flames . A string of damage values ranging from 30,000–40,000 floated up above their heads .



The Dark Hounds immediately became enraged . They rushed forward, braving through multiple flame walls, before pouncing at Nie Yan’s team .

Seismic Slam!

Bladelight slammed down with his greatshield, rupturing the earth and sending the Dark Hounds in front of him flying . He raised his greatshield and swatted the airborne Dark Hounds away .

Though the Dark Hounds lost nearly 500,000 health pouncing through the flame walls, they still had enough health left to put up a fight .

An intense battle broke out . The frontliners formed a human wall around the casters . The Mages let loose with their spells while the Priests provided support . Everyone was working in sync .

Lil’ Gold charged out into the fray and was quickly surrounded and attacked by a sea of Dark Hounds . Under their frenzied assault, Explosive Counter kept proccing non-stop, and the Dark Hounds soon fell down with dying wails . More came to fill their places, sinking their sharp teeth into his scales . A string of 10,000s floated up above his head . With so many enemies attacking, his health dropped fast .

Paladin Lafus immediately raised his sword and healed Lil’ Gold back to full health .

A Dark Hound Pack Leader pounced toward Nie Yan . Because he had killed the most out of everyone, it targeted him .

Nie Yan met the Dark Hound Pack Leader midway with a roundhouse kick . BANG! It let out a loud whimper, as it was struck in the neck and sent flying several dozens of meters before crashing into the ground .

A second later, five Dark Hounds came lunging over towards Nie Yan .

Nie Yan slightly retreated and struck one of the Dark Hound’s in the head with his elbow, smashing it into the ground .

Nie Yan’s silhouette blurred as he employed the Shadow Steps to evade the countless attacks aimed for him . With Backbreaker, he ruthlessly drove Zennarde’s Sword into the spine of another Dark Hound .

In the chaotic battle, one Dark Hound managed to sink its teeth into Nie Yan’s foot .

A damage value of 10,000 floated up above Nie Yan’s head . He tried to pull his leg back, but couldn’t . A string of 2,000s floated up above his head .

“Careful, guys! These Dark Hounds can deal continuous damage with their Gnaw skill!” Smoke Stub shouted .

Another Dark Hound came lunging forward . Just as it was about to latch onto him with its teeth, Nie Yan slashed out with Zennarde’s Sword! PSFFHT! A red streak cut across its throat as a damage value of 300,000 rose up above its head . It was a one-hit KO!

Nie Yan then slashed down with Zennarde’s Sword, killing the Dark Hound chewing on his foot .

“Boss, there’s too many of them!” Lustboy cried out .

“Yeah, they’re everywhere . We’ll be here forever at this rate,” Undying Scoundrel chimed in . Looking into the distance, he couldn’t even see the ground through the endless sea of Dark Hounds . If they allowed this to continue on, they’d eventually run out of mana and die .

“At least we’re getting experience . It’s pretty decent too . ” Summer Bug tried to look on the bright side .

“Let’s just keep going for now . How many of you still have AoE Forbidden Magic left?” Nie Yan asked .

“W-wait . Are you suggesting . . . ?”

“We can’t clear them all without using Forbidden Magic,” Nie Yan said . However, they would still have to be careful, lest they got caught up in their own attack .

“I have one,” Tang Yao said after checking his skill window .

The other Magisters looked at each other . “Ours are still on cooldown . ”

Nie Yan glanced at Xie Yao . “How many AoE Forbidden Spells does the Earth Orb have?”

“Two,” Xie Yao said after looking at the spells .

At present, they had three AoE Forbidden Spells . This was already pretty decent . By using them, they could wipe out quite a few Dark Hounds .
