In an instant, Alex covered the mouth of the healer and drilled his dagger repeatedly into the stomach of the healer till he couldn’t move.

[You killed player RogueShaman!]

[You have earned 100XP!]

[You received 400 blue coins!]

Alex stood there as the healer turned into pixel and faded away without any of the teammates noticing, none of them were injured so the ground didn’t care about the healer.

Alex was going to kill all of them silently and leave the swordsmen for Bridget since she was good at fighting close combat.

The next on Alex’s list was the archer, he was the second player at the back of the group, among all their long-range fighter, the healer was at the back, then the archer then the two mages, and then the Hitman holding two revolvers.

Bridget now hid behind a tree and the swordsmen went after her. Alex carefully walked toward the back of the archer.

All the players had forgotten about Alex making his job much easier.

“Hey, I thought there were two players, a male, and a female,” one of the mages asked and Alex stopped in his tracks.

“Maybe he ran away as we started attacking his chick” the archer spoke as he walked towards the mage.

“Yeah, I wonder what class he belongs to, you don’t think he’s a marksman right, cause he might be hiding in one of these trees,” the second mage said.

“If he’s a marksman he would have definitely attacked us, the marksman class is really useless, they are extremely weak in close combat and their weapon takes a long time to reload,” the archer said.

“Ohh, that’s bad, at least he won’t see his girlfriend getting killed” the mage spoke and they all burst into laughter.

Alex stood there perfectly still, the archer and the mage were now together so killing any of them is impossible without the others noticing, and Alex had never battled with mages before, and there were two of them.

Alex stood there thinking of what he would do when one of the swordsmen rushed back, he quickly concealed himself.

[Shadow camouflage]

“The girl is gone, she just disappeared,” the player said.

“Shit, she’s an assassin so maybe that’s one of her skills, she must be around here, everyone look around,” the huge guys said.

“She disappeared! do you think the second player also disappeared?” the Archer asked the huge guy.

“I don’t think he’s an assassin, let’s just look for the girl first…wait where is that healer guy?”

“Huh! he was right there, was he killed?” one of the mages shouted.

“That bastard, he’s also an assassin, find him he must be around here” the huge guy shouted.

The sun was also down and none of the players had any item that could provide light for them, the four remaining swordsmen searched for Bridget while the other four searched for Alex.

“I really don’t think this is a good idea, it’s also night and we won’t be able to see clearly, and they are assassins,” said one of the swordsmen.

“He’s right, we should probably quit, we already lost two of our guys and we don’t even know where the enemy is hiding, I’m leaving” one of the mages spoke.

“I can’t afford to lose five levels, I’m leaving too” the second mage joined him.

“Cowards…since you are all leaving, let’s go together,” the huge guy said.

‘Once we reach the edge of the forest, am going to kill as many of you as I can before I run away’ he mumbled under his breath.

“There are leaving, perfect opportunity” Alex muttered as he stepped out of the shadow.

The group was leaving and it was dark so they wouldn’t be able to see their faces, Alex planned to join them, kill one of them and cause confusion among them, he didn’t know where Bridget was but hopefully, she doesn’t attack him.

The group came together and after looking at their faces, they proceeded to exit the forest, Alex carefully moved towards them, his stealth was increased because of the cloak and his footsteps were silent so he easily joined the group as they walked forward.

Without wasting a second Alex plunged both of his daggers into one of the mages.

[-35HP]

[-30HP]

“Aarrgh…” the mage screamed as he felt pain in his stomach.

Now he didn’t bother with covering the mouth of the mage as he stabbed the mage till his HP was zero.

[You killed player Mage506!]

[You have earned 90XP!]

[You received 20 blue coins!]

All the players turned towards the mage as they heard his scream, then they saw Alex, the moonlight did little to reveal his face but they saw a figure holding two daggers and immediately the figure turned around and dashed away.

The Hitman was the first to react to the attack, he removed both of his revolvers from his holsters and immediately fired at the running figure of Alex.

*Bam!! Bam!!*

[-5HP]

[-40HP]

One of the bullets grazed Alex’s hand while the second one pierced the side of his stomach and he fell to the ground.

“He’s down, get him” the Hitman shouted as he watched Alex’s figure drop to the ground.

*Swoosh!! Swoosh!!*

[-20HP]

[-25HP]

“Ouch…Arrgh, who did that” one of the swordsmen shout as two knives pierced his back.

“Who did what, why are you shouting”

“My back, see…” the swordsmen removed the knives from his back and showed it to the rest of the group.

“The female assassin is back”

“First we should get…huh! he’s gone, arrrgh” the huge guy shouted in anger.

The pain Alex felt was only for a second, he quickly regained his composure and blended into the shadows, his HP was down to [145] after the attack.

Soon Alex heard screams coming from the group and he knew Bridget was attacking them.

“Time to test these throwing knives” Alex mumbled as he brought out two throwing knives from his inventory and moved toward the group.

*Bam!! Bam!! Bam!! Bam!!*

The Hitman was shooting in every direction till he wasted all his bullets, he had to wait till he would be able to reload but the others immediately covered for him.

The mages did most of the searching for Bridget with their spells but before a minute most of the grasses around and small plants were already on fire.

“Yes, keep setting the place on fire, that way we would be able to see”

“Okay, here it goes” Alex mumbled as he stretched his hands backward.

Immediately Alex moved his right foot forward as he let go of the knife, the knife traveled with speed and precision as it flew past all the players and ultimately landed on a tree.

“Shit…I knew it was hard, but it didn’t even get close to the target” Alex gritted his teeth as he tried again.

“Spread the flames backward,” the huge guy said to the mages.

The flames had now expanded to all the grasses and plants in front of them, and the mages turned around to face where Alex was, Bridget had moved away from the players as the flames spread around, she was now looking for a way to get close without being spotted.

Alex aimed at the mage and threw his knife toward them before they could cast their spells but once again the knife flew past all the players.

*Bam!!*

A loud sound echoed throughout the forest and one of the mages fell to the ground, Alex immediately took cover behind a tree as he wasn’t sure who took the shot.

*Bam!!*

Another loud sound echoed as the second mage dropped to the ground.

“Clean hit bro…” a figure spoke.

“I told you a group was fighting here, why else would there be flames if it wasn’t a battle” another figure spoke.

“Other players are rushing here because of the flame, we should split up and run away” one of the swordsmen shouted as he ran away.

The group immediately spilt up and headed in different directions, unfortunately for the archer, he ran in Alex’s direction and hid behind the tree where he was.

“Phew…at least I escaped,” the archer said.

“I don’t think you did,” Alex said behind their archer.

“Don’t try anything funny, you are an archer and both of my daggers are already ready to tear you apart” Alex whispered.
