Chapter 82 – Skeleton Executioners

“Thief?”

“Is that… an NPC?” A Mage stammered in question.

“No, it’s a player!” Cold shivers traveled down another Thief’s body as fear grew in his heart.

“He summoned these skeletons? Is he a Necromancer?”

“No, he appears to be a Thief!”

Nie Yan stood silently with the Dark Gladiator, just looking at them, but also giving them a formless feeling of oppression. This was because he was manipulating the strings of their fates at this moment. If he commanded that enormous skeletal dragon to charge over and added the attacks from the four skeletal mages as well, those assembled would have no hope of survival at all.

The gloomy, cyan flames in the Dark Gladiator’s eyes flared. It was waiting for Nie Yan’s command. It would immediately make a move if he gave the word to attack.

Nie Yan used Transcendent Insight to view the information of these players.

Leader Young Seven, Forgotten, Yi Yan… all sorts of familiar names floated into view. Level six, six, and five. These people were influential personages in their past lives. Although they hadn’t joined any other guilds, they’d formed a team called True Dragon Mark. The strength of this team was roughly on par with the elite teams of the guilds.

It was then that Nie Yan recalled that he’d met these players when he was tracking the Serpentine Lizard.

This made sense when he thought about it. Players who dared come to Sulgata Ancient City at this level naturally wouldn’t be bumbling fools.

Leader Young Seven was a player who would be known as one of the Seven Great Priests in the future. A strong Priest was of utmost importance to a team. They would even have the effect of saving the entire team at critical moments.

As for Forgotten, he’d been superior to Nie Yan in his past life and was also one of the Thieves who received the moniker of Shadow Dancer. While he had been on roughly the same level as Nie Yan in terms of techniques, he had entered the game earlier and had an elite team. His level and equipment were both superior to Nie Yan. However, circumstances were different now. Nie Yan had more than ten years of experience as a Thief over Forgotten, and in this timeline, they both entered the game at the same time. So their positions would be sure to be rewritten in this life.

Perhaps one day, they would be the ones to learn to look up to Nie Yan.

As for the others, they weren’t as renowned as leader Young Seven or Forgotten, but they had a small bit of fame as well. Yi Yan for instance, was not a bad Fighter. Although he wasn’t ranked in the top ten of the Fighter rankings, he was at least in the top 50. This was still quite a high ranking. After all, the entire Righteous faction would have hundreds of thousands of teams ten years from now.

Although Nie Yan had heard of these people before, he’d never come in contact with them.

They stared at each other for a while, with the hand that leader Young Seven was using to grip his staff breaking out in a cold sweat. He didn’t display his internal nervousness on his face however. If Nie Yan made a move, the six of them would most likely not make it out alive. They’d naturally be gifting Nie Yan several pieces of equipment.

If Nie Yan made a move, it would be a single sided slaughter.

However, Nie Yan had his own thoughts about this matter. These people weren’t weak, and although their current levels were low, they would be sure to be elite experts in the future. If Nie Yan gave the order for the Dark Gladiator to charge and kill them, he’d at most get his hands on a few pieces of equipment and a red name. Those pieces of equipment weren’t worth much money at all, and he wasn’t short on money. Why make so many enemies? They didn’t know what he had come to Sulgata for, and he didn’t need to worry about someone seizing Sulgata’s Shadow at this current level.

Nie Yan smiled faintly and paid no more attention to these players, heading towards the depths of the city.
