Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 50. Assassination

Allen and his companions, Shea, Vivian, and Zoe, pushed forward through the Underwater Dungeon. They made their way through various groups of players but hadn't made their move yet. It was too crowded so they had to move deeper. They kept their heads down, trying not to draw attention to themselves as they made their way toward a quieter area. Every now and then, they would stop to kill any monsters that got in their way, gaining valuable EXP points as they did so.

The monsters in the area were varied, ranging from level 10 to level 20. The Giant Sea Bug, with its sharp pincers and tough exoskeleton, proved to be a tough opponent. The Aggressive Mushroom Coral, a sea plant-based creature with tentacles attacks. And the Poisonous Horseshoe Crab, with its sharp stinger.

Despite the challenges, the team managed to make it to a quieter area. They were scouting for potential targets, and Allen noticed three players who seemed to be hunting in a remote spot. "Guys, I think we found our first target," he whispered to his companions.

Shea nodded and said, "I'll take care of the healer." They were the most annoying class of all, and they could heal their teammates.

Vivian chimed in, "I'll take the mage. That shouldn't be a problem for me."

Allen nodded in agreement and then added, "That leaves the swordsman for me." The swordsman had the highest HP points among the other classes, so it might be a bit more difficult, but he was sure he could handle it.

But then Zoe spoke up, sounding uncertain. "What about me?" she asked. Zoe knew her class was the most unsuitable for this mission. She thought that they would attack directly and wrecked the whole dungeon like yesterday, but she was wrong.

Allen turned to her; his expression serious. "Back us up. We'll handle the rest," he said reassuringly.

Before Zoe could open her voice, he used his skill.

'Hiding!' It was a dual dagger user's skill.

As Allen activated his skill, his body began to fade away into a translucent form, almost as if he was a ghost. The other players in the dungeon would not be able to see him, but his teammates could still see his character in this transparent form. It was a skill that had proven to be incredibly useful for ambushes and sneaky attacks.

However, there were some monster types that could still detect their opponents with this skill, such as insect and shadow types. For those types of monsters, this skill was practically useless. This was also the skill that forced Allen and his teammate to keep moving when they carried out yesterday's war event. They knew, if they stayed in one place, they would become the dual dagger users' easy targets.

Allen trod silently to the players; his footsteps muffled by the damp cave floor. He could hear the distant sound of water dripping from the ceiling and the occasional squelch as he stepped into a puddle. He paused once he was near the players and signaled to his teammates to attack.

Upon his signal, Vivian drew back the string of her bow, feeling the tension in the bowstring as she aimed at the mage. The mage was standing with his back to her, completely unaware of the imminent danger that was approaching him. Vivian released the first arrow, and it flew through the air with a sharp whistle. The arrow plunged into the mage's back, causing him to stagger and cry out in pain.

Before the mage could even turn around to face his attacker, Vivian had already released the second arrow. It flew through the air in a blur of motion, slicing through the air as it headed toward the mage. The second arrow struck the mage.

Satisfied with her quick and deadly attack, Vivian didn't waste a moment. She immediately used her Arrow Strike skill, causing two more arrows to appear in her hand. The arrows were glowing with an intense golden light, radiating power and energy, piercing the mage's flesh and instantly ending his life.

By Vivian's side, Shea cast her Ice Spike skill. She extended her hand, and a burst of blue light shot out from her palm. The icy spikes shot out like projectiles, heading straight toward the healer. The healer looked up in surprise, barely dodging the first round of spikes.

The healer attempted to use his Healing skill to recover. But Shea wasn't finished yet. She quickly cast her Water Ball skill. The water coalesced into a sphere, about the size of a basketball, and began to swirl with increasing speed. With a flick of her wrist, she sent the water ball hurtling toward the healer. The ball burst upon impact, releasing a torrent of water that engulfed him. A second later, the healer fell to the ground, his lifeless body

Seeing his two friends suddenly die, the swordsman's heart was pounding, and he could feel sweat starting to trickle down his temple. The sight of his two dead teammates lying on the ground in front of him was enough to make him panic. He knew they were strong players, so whoever had taken them out had to be even stronger.

His eyes darted around, scanning the area for any signs of danger. He couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, just the dimly lit dungeon and some monsters. He tried to calm himself down, but it was difficult. He knew that as a swordsman, he had the highest HP points, but as long as he didn't know who or what the attackers were, he even couldn't protect himself. Especially since he was sure it was a monster as they couldn't be attacked by other players unless they agreed to duel.

The swordsman raised his blade, pointing it toward the spot where the previous Ice Strike had come from. His eyes scanned the area, searching for any signs of movement or a potential threat.

He had stocked up on enough potions to sustain himself in battle. He also carried an Escape Rope, a handy item that could bring him back to the save point in an emergency. It was just that the item couldn't be used if he was in the middle of a battle

As he cautiously approached the area, he kept his guard up, ready for anything that might come his way. He knew that if he encountered a high-level monster or a dungeon boss, he would need to act quickly to avoid being killed.
