Chapter 29: Nightmare Rose

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A rapid sound of air breaking sounded.

Tang Ye lifted his head hastily, and a cold glow came traveling through the darkness as he did so.

It was an arrow!

Tang Ye instantly held up his dagger, aimed at a point, and directly struck down vertically.

A glimmer glistened on the dagger’s blade.

Tang Ye attempted to slice this arrow in half with one strike so as to demonstrate his powerful capabilities. On the one hand, it was to awe his underlings and boost his authority. On the other hand, it was to teach this group of beauties about his formidability so that they would obediently submit to him!

The corners of his lips turned up slightly, seemingly already imagining the scene of this group of delicate beauties in front of him submitting before him and begging for mercy.

Ding!

Yet, his countenance abruptly changed in the next instant.

The force the dagger in his hand bore was so strong that it was a little beyond his expectations. The arrow that the silver-armored girl shot carried a tremendous force that alarmed him. Once they came into contact, he almost lost hold of his dagger.

He gritted his teeth then and there. All the strength in his body was used and added to the blade.

Tss Tss Tss!

His quaking hand clearly reminded him that the arrow’s momentum had not subsided in the slightest. It was still spinning swiftly, assaulting his dagger like a drill.

Crack!

All of a sudden, a crack appeared on the dagger forged from carbon steel.

Tang Ye’s pupils abruptly constricted at once as he felt extremely terrified. But it was too late for him to react again. He watched as that arrow broke his dagger and headed straight for the area between his eyebrows.

Choo!

The arrow penetrated past his eyebrows and emerged at the back of his head, with red and white substances staining it.

The immense force drove into Tang Ye, sending him flying into the crowd and knocked down a good number of them.

His eyes were glaring, yet there was endless remorse left in his gaze.

Why did I provoke these people that I could not afford to provoke!

“Mas-master Tang!”

His surrounding underlings were instantly flustered.

Quicker than words could tell, Luo Xingyao’s arrow only took less than two seconds to penetrate Tang Ye’s skull.

They never expected that the leader they regarded as a god couldn’t even block one arrow from that female and died a sudden death on the spot. But he was clearly so powerful. He could easily split a huge rock with one strike.

He was virtually a Superman-like existence, so how could he be defeated so terribly?

“Kill them! Get revenge for Master Tang!” The underling who sucked up to Tang Ye at the very beginning suddenly roared, calling on the men.

“Kill!”

This gang of people were outlaws in the first place. They had seen so much blood that no amount was too much for them. Even though the strongest among them—Master Tang—had just died a sudden death before them, they still did not think they would lose.

There were so many of them, while their opponents could be counted on one hand. Moreover, the majority of them were delicate girls.

They did not believe that every female was as frightening as the one who had shot the arrow earlier. But they became stunned the next moment.

A bug as big and tall as half a human silently appeared before them.

Its icy compound eyes were filled with the vicious sentiments of slaughtering. Just one look had them flustered.

“What… the hell is this?” someone swallowed his saliva and could not help asking.

Buzz!

The next instant, the bug turned into a dark shadow and vanished.

Swish swish swish!

In a mere breath’s worth of time, the few people standing at the front became stiff. Appalling rips tore through their abdomens, directly penetrating their whole bodies.

Upon looking carefully, one could not see any guts left. One could only see blood flowing.

Even this group of gangsters—who had been through the field for a long time—could not help but feel their scalps go numb when faced with such a frightening and nauseating scene.

The hands holding their weapons went weak, no longer having much strength.

“It’s a gho-ghost!”

Panic instantly spread, and all the gangsters lost the will to fight at once.

Luo Xinghe went forward with his sword and blocked off the path at the other end of the street. Several heads fell to the ground again as he swung his longsword. Then, he bellowed loudly, “Everyone, squat down quietly! If you dare continue to move casually, your head will fall!”

Everyone around was terrified as they retreated coweringly.

Xue Linglong, Qiao Ruowei, and Luo Xingyao killed several more people who were still running madly before the scene quietened down.

…

Yang Xuerou stood beside Link’s chair. Upon seeing that the dust had settled, she bent down and said softly, “Link, it has ended!”

Link slowly opened his eyes. He happened to see the sky resembling a white fish belly from his position.

Day was finally breaking!

“Bring them back to school and integrate them with that batch of students to transport supplies!” Link commanded coolly.

“Yes, Lord!” Luo Xinghe nodded and promptly drove this batch of gangsters in the direction of Dragon City No. 1 Middle School.

Link looked around. His gaze landed on the silent Qiao Ruowei, and his brow arched. “Come here!” He curled his hand.

Qiao Ruowei faltered, unsure of the reason, but she still walked over. “Lord, what orders do you have?” she asked carefully.

“Let me look at your profession!” Link said truthfully.

He was a little curious about what exactly Qiao Ruowei’s profession from acquired awakening was.

Qiao Ruowei did not hesitate. In fact, [Doomsday Online] players presently did not know what every person’s profession information concerned.

The further the game progressed, the more that profession information would be treated as important classified information, only second to one’s life.

Soon, an attribute screen was displayed before Link.

Name: Qiao Ruowei

Profession: Nightmare Rose (Diamond)

Level: Stage One, Level 4

Intelligence: 102

Current level: Yet to be activated. Progress 36/100.

Sure enough… Link looked at Qiao Ruowei as if absorbed in thought. He had long guessed that Qiao Ruowei’s awakened profession would be exceptional, but he did not actually expect it to be Diamond-grade.

Moreover, looking at her talent, abilities, and skills, she was virtually born for assassinations!

He indeed needed such a person who could work in the dark beside him.

Worthy of fostering!

Link’s gaze turned, and he glanced at Qiao Ruowei before indifferently saying, “Go wash up inside the shopping mall and find a change of clothes. You’re exposed!”

Qiao Ruowei bowed her head to take a look, and her cheeks instantly flushed. She hurriedly nodded and left.

Link then looked at the others and said, “Go eat something. Return here after 20 minutes! Prepare to search for other high-level bosses!”

“Yes, Lord!” Everyone quickly nodded and then headed to the shopping mall.

Presently, the shopping mall had no owner. They were free to take and use the things inside.

Link and Yang Xuerou walked right at the end. They leisurely strolled and occasionally chatted while casually grabbing some crackers, milk, and whatnot to fill their stomachs.

They then found that a few more items were still inside after shooting a glance at the backpack.

[Skull Bone Bow], [Staff of Magic Source], [Heavy Impact] skill book.

Everything was pulled out. Once his talent had come off cooldown, each of the items was blessed.

These items became splendid and brilliant the next moment.
