Chapter 330 – Abak’s Gloves of Sealing (1/2)
Chapter 330 – Abak’s Gloves of Sealing
Steal had an extremely short cooldown, but it came paired with a pitifully low success rate. For it to succeed in 1 out of 30 attempts on ordinary monsters would already be quite impressive. However, Phantom Princess Ina was a well-known treasure trove, so the chances of obtaining something from her were relatively high. Then again, due to her ability to regularly summon hordes of Evil Mages, it was nigh impossible for ordinary Thieves to steal from her.
Nie Yan could only steal so many items from her because of the magic immunity from God’s Blessing.
You have obtained 102 gold.
Seeing this notification, Nie Yan was given a great shock. Phantom Princess Ina was truly deserving of her royal title, giving 102 gold all at once.
The seconds passed as spells continued to bombard Nie Yan, doing absolutely no damage. However, the splashes created enough dazzling colors to rival a firework show, making it hard for him to see. He could only cover his eyes and repeatedly reach toward where he thought Phantom Princess Ina was.
Nie Yan kept careful track of the time remaining on God’s Blessing. The moment it wore off, he would activate the Unknown Transfer Scroll gripped tightly in his hand without hesitation.
Steal!
Steal!
Nie Yan continuously pilfered items from Phantom Princess Ina, obtaining an Advanced Area-of-Effect Magic Scroll and two more Soul Gems.
Such a scroll would be sold by Scroll Master Davina for over 500 gold. The value of the Soul Gems was about 50 gold each. With this, Nie Yan had made quite a profit.
It was a shame there was only a set number of items in Princess Ina’s inventory. New things would only be added every so often. Repeatedly coming over to steal things from her would only end up depleting her stock, making it harder and harder to get anything from her.
Nie Yan was the first one to loot this treasure trove and her bag was currently filled to the brim. The success rate right now was the highest it would ever be, so he could snag multiple expensive items from her in a short amount of time.
Yet another successful theft notification appeared.
Nie Yan didn’t have the chance to see what it was before time ran out. The Evil Mages cast another wave of spells, and he knew this barrage would spell the end for him if it landed.
Just as Nie Yan was about to be obliterated, he crushed the Unknown Transfer Scroll in his hand.
「Bang! Bang! Bang!」A series of explosions engulfed the area where Nie Yan previously stood.
His upright figure dissolved into nothingness, leaving not even a corpse behind.
As the scenery around him warped and twisted, Nie Yan reappeared in a vast desert. Within the blowing sands, it was impossible to tell which direction was which.
Giant lizards were everywhere, freely roaming the place. They were protected by a thick and rough skin that almost looked like a layer of hard metal. Their bulging eyes, which oddly resembled brass bells, glinted eerily.
Seeing these giant lizards, Nie Yan’s face paled. They were the Level 300 monsters, Steel Armoured Monitors!
Crap! Just where the hell did I end up?
Nie Yan never expected to emerge in such a dangerous place!
Steel Armoured Monitors had very high Awareness. The closest one was more than 50 meters away, yet it instantly locked onto Nie Yan when he appeared. It started charging towards him immediately.
Its speed could only be described as monstrous. It was only 10 meters away in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, its entire body ignited and became a high-speed heavy fireball on course to slam into Nie Yan. His only impression as he quickly pulled up his inventory was a blast of heat so hot he felt like he was being barbecued.
Nie Yan was badly frightened by this Steel Armoured Monitor. Back when he was Level 180 in the previous timeline, he had once hunted an ordinary Level 300 monster with his friends. It took 20 players almost half an hour to kill it.
Nie Yan was currently nowhere close to being the Steel Armoured Monitor’s match!
Just as the Steel Armoured Monitor arrived in front of Nie Yan and was about to swallow him whole, he used another Unknown Transfer Scroll and teleported away.
The Steel Armoured Monitor blinked and looked around in confusion. Since it couldn’t find a trace of its ephemeral free meal, it returned to roaming the desert.
Nie Yan once more opened his eyes. This time, lush green vegetation appeared before him. He was clearly still in the desert, but this looked to be an oasis. A crystal-clear lake sat in the center, sparkling brightly in the sunshine.
Looking carefully to make sure there weren’t any monsters nearby, he moved under a tree and took out a return scroll so he could go home.
System: Activating Return Scroll… 3%… 12%…
With a flash of white light, Nie Yan was back in Soyu Town. Seeing the familiar buildings around him, Nie Yan felt like a new man. He was finally safe! He hadn’t expected to need two Unknown Transfer Scrolls to get out of danger this time. His luck really was a bit too poor.
Nie Yan took a look at his harvest and noticed a pair of dark violet gloves glistening brilliantly in his bag. Golden silk patterns were sewn into them with small gems embedded in between. They were covered in various runes, and their design was reminiscent of the Era of Shared Governance. Sharp barbs protruded out from the sides, giving the gloves a flashy look.
