The Return Of The God Level Assassin

BUT the moment Luo Yan attacked, his dagger met some kind of resistance. As if the Angel was suddenly surrounded by some kind of invisible barrier. He raised one of his brows. So, the Priest class still had this kind of skill.

Lan Yu was glad that he put up that barrier on time. If he didn’t, based on the collision he felt, he probably would have been thrown back. But he didn’t have time to relax because he knew whoever this invisible enemy was would attack again. So, he decided to use his skill with the highest attack power.

The problem was, he could only use it after the barrier he put up disappeared. Because it wouldn’t work as long as any one of his skills was currently activated. The effect of the barrier would last for 10 seconds. Now, there’s only about half of that left. He just had to get ready the moment the barrier disappeared. Once it did, he would obliterate him.

When this round was over and he found out who the other person was, he would definitely make him pay.

If Lan Yu was planning, of course, Luo Yan was too.

Since there was a barrier preventing him from attacking, he just had to get pass the barrier. He looked down at the ground, particularly at the spot the Angel was standing on. And then he smiled.

His shadow was able to reach the spot where the Angel was standing. Which meant that it could get pass the invisible barrier. He was actually worried that there wouldn’t be enough light to enter the forest for the objects here to produce a shadow. But it seemed like his worry was totally unnecessary.

Shadows during Winter were much longer compared to when it was Summer. That’s why even though he was a few steps away from the Angel, his shadow could still reach him. It’s probably a blessing in disguise that he ended up in this area.

Seriously, if this guy was observant enough, he should have already noticed his shadow. Then he would know where he was standing. In fact, if the other looked well enough, he could see his footsteps on the mostly snow-covered ground. But maybe this guy was just so busy preventing himself to go OOC that he hardly noticed the smallest things.

Well, whatever. It’s time to end this farce.

He activated his [Shadow Walk] and submerged into his own shadow.

Lan Yu was still waiting for his barrier to disappear. There was only a second left. He was about to activate his skill when he felt a tingling pain on his chest. He slowly looked down and his eyes widened when he saw a black dagger buried on his chest. On his feet, he also saw the shadow on the ground rippling.

"N-no way... how...?"

"Do try to level up your innocent act. Maybe you will be able to fool everyone by then."

That’s the last thing he heard before he completely turned into light particles.

Luo Yan then walked up to the area on the map where those cluster of red dots he saw earlier was. Now he knew that Dragnar was also there. He was thinking of lending a hand to the other if he was actually really cornered. He kind of want to face that dragon on the final tournament.

Anyway, he was certain that those 20 or so players wouldn’t be able to corner that guy. So, his help might not even be needed. But he still wanted to check what was happening just in case.

His Invisibility Cloak was still in effect. So, he wasn’t worried that the players over there would see him.

When he was a few distance away from the area, he stopped. There was a clearing up ahead and he could see a figure standing alone there. A well-built young man with blaring golden hair. It was Dragnar.

Seeing him alone, it was self-evident that he had already finished off the other players who tried to corner him. It was already something he had expected, so he wasn’t that surprise.

It seemed that he would really be seeing this guy on finals.

That’s good. A game without a powerful competitor was just boring.

He turned around and walked towards the direction he came from. He took out the map and saw that there were only about 150 players remaining in their area.

As he jumped to one of the trees, the effect of his cloak had disappeared and his full figure was revealed. A smile appeared on his lips.

It’s time to go to another spree.

Inside one of the VIP rooms in the prism building...

Luo Ren, who had been watching everything that’s happening to his brothers since this second round of preliminary began, was currently very speechless. In fact, he hadn’t been able to say anything since the first time he saw Luo Yan slashing another player’s throat.

Luo Jin was fine. Because he had seen his youngest brother go into fights with others. Especially during the time that Luo Yan was still in a coma. So, he wasn’t too surprised seeing him shooting players left and right.

But Luo Yan was different.

Even though he knew that his brother wasn’t really that innocent angel who knew nothing of the world, it still caught him off-guard seeing him like this. All his actions had no hesitations in them. He was full of confidence. And the most important thing was, he looked like he was having fun.

No, he was definitely having fun.

Especially during that part when he faced that Angel guy. Luo Yan exposed the guy for being a manipulative white lotus and then proceeded on stabbing him on the heart.

Although they couldn’t see how he did all that since he was invisible, he could still hear from the tone of his brother’s voice that he was having fun toying with the Angel.

Luo Ren seriously didn’t know how to react. It’s like something he believed in for so long had just been subverted. Or maybe it’s really his fault for initially caging Luo Yan into a certain type of personality. Believing that he was right.

It seemed that he really needed to start being more open-minded.

"B-Brother Ren," Yu Jiao softly called.

Luo Ren was startled when he heard that call. He turned his head to Yu Jiao who was sitting beside him. "Yes?"

"Ahm, Yan Yan is definitely not violent! He’s just- just- yes, he’s just dedicated!"

Yu Jiao said that because while watching the broadcast, she noticed how Luo Ren became silent more and more. She guessed that he probably was shocked seeing Luo Yan killing all those players. Honestly, even she was a little bit surprised. Especially since Luo Yan really looked like he was enjoying himself. But he didn’t want Luo Ren to think that he’s brother was actually violent or something.

Ren blinked and stared at Yu Jiao’s shining eyes, as if silently telling him, ’please, believe me!’. Suddenly, all the confusing feelings he just felt earlier disappeared and he couldn’t help but laugh. His heart filling with sweet warmth.

"Yes, he is indeed very ’dedicated’," he could only say.
