Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 808

Chapter 808: 808



Nie Yan received word that Fallen Angel was finally intensifying their attacks on Angel Corps . Where at first they kept to small skirmishes of only a few hundred men, now they sent entire armies of tens of thousands of players . The two sides were clashing fiercely . Asskickers United had also dispatched 30,000 troops . They would sporadically join in and launch assaults on the forces of Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group .

The players from the Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire felt a storm brewing . Asskickers United had put their sights on Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group . If the two sides were to clash, a war of epic proportion would break out . Both were hegemons of their respective empires with hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of members under them as well as many branches . Both sides would call to arms millions of players . A war of this scale would affect the entire power balance of the Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire . Everyone would be affected .

The intense friction between both sides kept escalating . The smell of gunpowder was strong in the air .

Suspiciously, even though several large battles were fought in the Satreen Empire, Angel Corps never launched a fierce retaliation and simply held their ground . The higher-ups of the guilds hadn’t shown their faces for over a month already either . No one, even their own members, knew where Soaring Angel and the others were .

Fallen Angel was making progress on all fronts . As the flames of war spread, they were already preparing to lay siege on a stronghold!

Angel Corps and Fallen Angel were sworn enemies . The two even had opposing names . Their conflict was irreconcilable . With a powerful ally like Fallen Angel by their side, Asskickers United felt a lot less pressure .

Nie Yan received word that Fallen Angel’s seven Soulweavers were planning to make a trip to the surface . Soulweaver was the final class advancement of the Undead Empire . Like the Masters of the Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire, the Soulweavers of the Undead Empire were far stronger than the Silver Wings of the Demon Tribe . There were only 13 Soulweavers in the entire Undead Empire, and seven of them belonged to Fallen Angel . This was quite the achievement .

With Fallen Angel’s seven Soulweavers coming to the surface, Angel Corps already felt a headache coming up .

Nie Yan passed down various orders to the players of Asskickers United . He dispatched some troops to the Satreen Empire to stir up trouble for Angel Corps . Meanwhile, he had those with potential focus on levelling up, running dungeons, and raising their equipment quality . Asskickers United and Angel Corps were fighting a war of attrition . This battle wouldn’t be won in a few days, or even weeks . So, they needed to fight for every little advantage they could get, maintain it, and eat away at the enemy’s where possible .

Nie Yan didn’t want to launch an all out offensive for the time being . After all, the Satreen Empire was Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group’s territory . They had operated there since the game’s release . Their position wouldn’t be easy to shake . As the adage goes, “A strong dragon cannot repress a snake . ” If he truly wanted to enter the Satreen Empire, he would have to seriously consider the consequences of losing the war .


Asskickers United and their branch guilds already had 300,000 players roaming around in the Satreen Empire . There was also Heaven Song, which was steadily growing under the leadership of Ronin . Nie Yan would let them slowly whittle away at Angel Corps .

Apart from these matters, nothing else of interest to Nie Yan was happening in the Satreen Empire and Viridian Empire . A month passed by in the blink of an eye .

. . .

The Viridian Mountain Range, a silhouette flitted across the protruding rocks, making the precipitous mountain wall look like flat ground .

That person was Nie Yan . He’d spent the better part of a month searching here for clues . When he met with Jewel Merchant Ofnis in Blaze City, he learned that Ofnis had been robbed by a group of bandits while transporting his goods through the Viridian Mountain Range . He lost everything, including Abak’s Leg Guards of Focus . This was where the quest clues came to an end . Nie Yan felt helpless . He was already 86% of the way to Level 150, but he still hadn’t found any information on the bandits or leg guards .

Level 180 monsters spawned in the Viridian Mountain Range . There were plenty of Elites and Lords too . Even some large flying creatures could be spotted flying through the sky . This was definitely a wild and dangerous region . So, Nie Yan couldn’t mobilize a large force to help him search, but he still recruited about 100 Thieves . They spread out and investigated around .

However, the Viridian Mountain Range was massive, covering the east and south of the Viridian Empire, and they were with few . It wasn’t easy to find clues, especially since the only bit of information they had to go off was that they were searching for a group of bandits .

After the situation in the Viridian Empire settled down, Bladelight and the other Masters felt more comfortable leaving for far-away places . They started clearing some famous bosses, ranging from Level 150 to Level 180 . Many were Variant or even Demonified Lords . This was only possible thanks to Drakuru’s Tower Shield . Bladelight could tank these bosses with ease . As they took down more and more Lords, they obtained one phenomenal item after the other . Their collective gear quality rose by quite a few notches .



「Have you found Abak’s Leg Guards of Focus yet? If you still haven’t found it, let’s just go hunt the Lava Titan,」Bladelight said . Nie Yan wanted to acquire the leg guards first before taking on the Lava Titan, but he had already spent a month searching without any luck . The others were starting to get impatient . If it weren’t for a few unexpected things coming up on their end, they would have long killed the Lava Titan . It was about time .

「Alright, I’ll put it off for some other time . 」Nie Yan let out a deep sigh . He’d done all he could . But even after searching high and low for so long, he hadn’t found anything . Maybe some new information would pop up later .

「Great! I’ll tell everyone to get ready,」Bladelight said .

Nie Yan was about to leave, when the Thief team sent him a report . Someone had discovered a temple a group of bandits called home . It was located in the northern part of the mountain range at a place called Moradus Peak .

Finally, a lead! Nie Yan’s heart trembled . It perfectly fit the description Ofnis had given him!

Nie Yan hurriedly sent a message to Bladelight . They would have to wait . He would investigate the bandit lair first!

Nie Yan activated Gale Step and dashed off toward Moradus Peak .

Nie Yan’s speed in the mountains was only about a fifth of his normal speed . After running for a good 15 minutes, he finally arrived .

After entering Moradus Peak, Nie Yan met up with the Thieves under him . There were a dozen of them here in total .



“Boss, you’re here!” the Thieves greeted excitedly .

“Did you guys explore the bandit lair yet?” Nie Yan asked .

The Thieves glanced at each other before one stepped up with a bitter smile . “Sorry, Boss . We’re useless . 16 of us have already tried infiltrating that place, but none of us came out alive . We revived in a nearby graveyard . ”

“What?” Nie Yan blurted out in surprise . He knew exactly how strong these Thieves were . None of them were to be looked down on . Normally, even if they encountered danger, they could still escape with their lives, to say nothing of all 16 of them dying . “What did you see inside?”

“We didn’t even get past the front entrance . The square outside the temple is guarded by Level 180 Variant Lords . These bandits are made up of different races . We saw humans, elves, orcs, even giants . There were several hundred of them in total . As for what’s inside, we have no idea,” one of the Thieves replied .

Level 180 Variant Lords, all of them . No wonder none of these Thieves came out alive . If the guards to the entrance were already this strong, what would he find inside?

“What kind of temple is this?” Nie Yan asked .

The Thieves shook their heads . “Just a bunch of ruins . When we approached the area, we didn’t even receive a notification . ”

Nie Yan asked a few more questions . But since none of them entered the temple, their answers could be summarized with, “I don’t know,” or, “No idea . ” It seemed like he wouldn’t gleen any more information from them . He could only go in and take a look himself .

“You guys can go back . Thank you for your help . I’ll reward all of you 10,000 merit points for finding this temple,” Nie Yan said .

“Thank you, boss!” The Thieves were all quite happy . 10,000 merit points was enough for all of them to upgrade their equipment by a notch .

As they were about to leave, one Thief looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitating .

“What is it? Speak,” Nie Yan said .

“When I was sneaking around outside the perimeter of the temple, I managed to peek through a window and saw a library . There was this symbol of an obelisk in there . ” The Thief pulled open a virtual screen and drew a strange symbol . It was a round design with what looked like a tree in the center . “I did some research and discovered this is the symbol of the Goddess of Life . I’m guessing this is a temple dedicated to her . According to legend, when the Goddess of Life was killed in the war, her divinity shattered into pieces . This temple was probably abandoned after her death . ”

The Thief looked at Nie Yan nervously . Seeing that Nie Yan appeared to be deep in thought, he didn’t dare to bother him .

“What else did you learn from your research?” Nie Yan asked .

“Nothing else . But when I was doing my research, I discovered a certain line, A complete divinity will allow you to sense the power of a god and step through the door of a legendary realm . I’m not really sure what it means or if it’s even related to this temple…” the Thief mumbled into a quiet whisper . He felt extremely nervous in front of a bigshot like Nie Yan .

Nie Yan’s heart trembled . Step through the door of a legendary realm, what does this mean? He recalled the three Shattered Divinities in his bag . Could these fragments be fused back into a complete Divinity?
