The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN swerved to the left and then slashed at the monster trying to attack him. Black shadow-like flashes appeared on the blade of the dagger he just used. It slashed through the monster. Cutting it in half and then disintegrating. He felt another attack coming from his left. He jumped up. From the air, he saw a batch of monsters rushing towards the place when he was formerly standing.

He smiled. He didn’t even feel worried. It was because his new weapon was just freaking amazing. It was so easy to use that it almost felt like a part of his body. He should really thank Yu Jiao for this. He should probably buy her a gift and give it to her once school started.

He crossed both daggers he was holding and decided to use one of his skills – [8th Movement Dance].

He landed at the center of these monsters and then with a flurry of movements, he attacked the monsters one by one. His attack getting stronger and stronger with each slice of his daggers. The monsters all disintegrated with his every attack. At the eighth slash, he managed to kill three monsters at once. With that, he defeated ten monsters with just that one skill.

This scene was seen by Shen Ji Yun. He literally stopped moving and just stared. Because the image of Luo Yan slashing around the monsters surrounding him was simply too... enchanting. His movements were very graceful. It’s almost like he was following some kind of choreography. And as he attacked, black shadow-like flashes were being released by the twin daggers he was using. Adding more to the unmistakable charm of his rabbit.

Instead of fighting, he looked more like he was dancing. It was truly beautiful. Shen Ji Yun was simply captivated once again.

A monster appeared beside him, its claws were about to slash down at him. Shen Ji Yun simply slashed up his sword. It produced purple lighting as it struck the monster. With that one attack, the monster slowly disintegrated.

Luo Yan happened to see this. And he once again marveled at how cool Shen Ji Yun’s sword was. The long blade and purple lightning that it produced, add that to Shen Ji Yun’s always cold look and he simply looked like one of those overpowered chill anime main characters.

He then heard a growl. He turned to look for the source and saw the little fox slashing away at a monster with his little sharp claws. After that, he turned around and bit the neck of the monster to his right. Then he swished his tails and hit the monster that was about to attack him from behind. He quickly turned around and clawed at that monster.

Luo Yan got goosebumps. What a vicious little thing.

He slashed at his left and heard a monster’s groan. He didn’t even bother to look at it before attacking another monster.

This routine had continued since they entered the forest. Just like what Shen Ji Yun had told him, monsters constantly attacked them in droves. Regardless of their level, monsters kept on attacking them. And these monsters were all crazed. Like they overdosed on weeds or something.

Aside from the onslaught of monsters, the one thing that Luo Yan noticed more was how the Forest of Darkness looked like. It was as dark as he thought it would. Like a forest during the night. Not even a shred of light could enter the forest. It truly lived up to its name. If the three of them didn’t have good night visions, they would probably be fumbling about right now.

It’s also a good thing that there was only a set number of monsters in each area of the forest. And the killed monsters didn’t spawn right away. Because of that, the three of them could have a little breathing time.

When they killed the last monster in the area they were in, Luo Yan heard a notification that he leveled up. He’s now level 87. Just 20 minutes of playing here and his level already increased by one. This was really a good place to grind.

He just finished off a monster mid-air. He landed on the ground effortlessly. The moment he did, a black fluff came rushing to him like some rocket. He quickly put one of his daggers back to its sheath before holding Eclipse.

[Mashter, Mashter, did you see Eclipse just now? Eclipse is great and powerful, right?] – the little fox asked while looking up at him. His sapphire blue eyes shining.

Luo Yan chuckled. [Yes, Eclipse is indeed great and powerful.]

Eclipse smiled happily and buried his face on Luo Yan’s neck.

Shen Ji Yun walked up to them. He hadn’t yet returned his sword to his scabbard. That’s why Luo Yan glimpsed at the character engraved just below the hilt of the sword. He stared at it and read the character for ’dream’.

"Brother Ji Yun, did you ask the one who made your weapon to engrave that character on your sword?" he couldn’t help asking.

Shen Ji Yun looked down at his sword because of Luo Yan’s sudden question. "No. I got this sword as a reward for being the first one to clear the [Selene Palace Dream] dungeon at Heroic mode."

Selene Palace? Wasn’t that the name of the King of Arcadia’s castle? So, there’s a dungeon at the king’s castle? If Shen Ji Yun was the first one to clear it at Heroic mode, then it’s no wonder that he received such a good sword.

"Wow. That’s amazing. I really thought that you have that sword made and customized," he said. "Then, is its lightning attribute also a natural part of it?"

"Not really. Its attribute will depend on the player’s inert attribute, if the have one. And since my attribute is lightning, the sword’s attribute naturally followed it," Shen Ji Yun answered. "If the owner of the sword is changed to you, then its attribute would change into ’shadow’."

Luo Yan nodded. He had no doubt that the sword was most likely a legendary grade weapon. "Does it have a name?"

"Mèngyǎn."

’Nightmare’ – that’s the direct meaning of the name of the sword. What an ironic name considering the character engraved on the sword.

He wanted to ask why the sword’s name was like that when he heard the exclaimed of Eclipse inside his head.

[Mashter, Eclipse seems to see a cabin over there!]

Luo Yan turned towards the direction his pet’s little’s paw was pointing. And just like what Eclipse said, there was indeed a cabin.
