Chapter 391 - Elven Thief (1/2)

Chapter 391 - Elven Thief

「Klang!」Nie Yan swung around and parried just as the enemy’s blow was about to land on the back of his head, sparks flying as the two daggers clashed.

Concussive Blow!

The other Thief reacted pretty quickly. He switched grips on his dagger and stabbed toward Nie Yan’s forehead.

Phantom Assassination!

Nie Yan’s figure blurred as he evaded the attack and stabbed toward the enemy’s throat.

Seeing dodging was impossible, the Thief activated Gale Step to neutralize Nie Yan’s attack.

Since activating Gale Step reduced the effectiveness of stealth by 60%, Nie Yan could finally sense the location of the enemy Thief.

Eye of Truth!

Nie Yan’s pupils turned blood red as the veins around his eyes bulged out. He quickly discovered a silhouette rapidly pulling back, putting six meters between them.

Decent skill, fast reactions, tsk… He’s a tricky one.

Nie Yan immediately noticed the opponent’s long ears, which he almost mistook for horns, and slim build. It was an elf!

It was rumoured the length of an elf’s ears was closely related to the amount of magic power their bodies contained. The longer the ears, the stronger the elf. This was something implemented by the system. But the difference wasn’t usually visible to the naked eye.

It’s an Elven Thief! Nie Yan never expected to encounter one here!

Nie Yan’s lips curved into a faint smile. Guo Huai had reported they had lost track of the Elven Thief from Angel Corps. Wasn’t this clearly him?

Nie Yan wondered if he was followed or this just happened to be a coincidence. He inspected the Elven Thief with Transcendent Insight.

Bodhi Skybright (Elf): Level 52

Class: Great Thief

Nie Yan’s mind trembled. It was him! He didn’t know many experts from the Satreen Empire, nor did he watch videos of their battles in the previous timeline. After all, their respective skills and racial talents were different, so there was no meaning to it. But there were a couple of foreign players whose fame reached even the Viridian Empire. Whether they came for leisure or questing, their shocking feats had left deep and lasting impressions. Bodhi Skybright was one such figure.

After becoming a Shadow Dancer, this fellow had teleported to Calore and took out six other Shadow Dancers in a row before finally being defeated by Sun. It was an extremely close match, with several dozen exchanges. Bodhi Skybright had nearly won, but Sun had made a huge comeback and dealt a finishing blow. Even though Bodhi Skybright had lost, he was never forgotten. In the Viridian Empire, the only other player that could rival Sun was Shadow Killer, and perhaps King of the World if he hadn’t already disappeared from Conviction. Some people believed there were no more than five Shadow Dancers in the Viridian Empire that could go toe-to-toe with Bodhi Skybright.

Bodhi Skybright’s combat style focused on agility and speed. As soon as his attack failed, he would retreat, never tangling with the opponent for too long.
