Chapter 405 - 10-Man Commander
This group of Level 45 players were planning to do some levelling near the Flame Bright Archipelago. They never expected to encounter Nie Yan here. His name had long since become famous in the Undead Empire. Numerous Level 40+ expedition teams were wiped out by him alone.
These players didn’t dare to continue forward.
“Boss, what do we do?” a short Undead Thief asked the Necromancer beside him.
“Hold up, let’s just back off,” the Necromancer replied. Given Nie Yan’s speed, there was no way they could escape from him if he really wanted to pursue them.
The immense size of Lil’ Gold left these players shaking in their boots, especially as they recalled videos of him burning swaths of players to ashes with his flames.
Nie Yan heard rustling behind him and glanced back at the group of players. Seeing they weren’t approaching him but actually slowly backing away as though he were some sort of grizzly, he paid them no more heed. He continued to follow Bennett’s Soul at a casual pace with Lil’ Gold in tow.
Nie Yan wouldn’t have minded wiping out these players if they had tried to rush up and attack him. But since they were backing off, he couldn’t be bothered to go through the trouble of chasing after them.
When the Necromancer saw Nie Yan ignore them, the rapid beating in his chest finally settled down. He couldn't help but wonder why Nie Yan appeared so relaxed after being discovered. Did he not care about his location being leaked to the outside? He would once more become the target of players from all over the Undead Empire!
After thinking for a moment, the Necromancer concluded that Nie Yan’s confidence lay in his skill. An apex Thief was an unimaginably powerful existence in the Underworld, the dark environment only further enhancing their already exceptional stealth abilities. Add in the fact Nirvana Flame was known to possess several Unknown Transfer Scrolls on his person, and it was almost impossible to lock him down!
Watching Nie Yan’s receding back, the Necromancer let out a deep sigh. Can I, will I ever be like that?
Nie Yan continued to follow after Bennett’s Soul, encountering more and more Level 40+ players along the way. He figured there had to be a Level 40 map up ahead.
A group of roughly 60 players tried to ambush Nie Yan, but they were quickly taken care of by an area-of-effect attack from Lil’ Gold.
A radius of 30 meters was fairly large, enough so to fit 1,000 people densely packed together. It was generally incredibly difficult to avoid an area-of-effect spell. Not to mention Lil’ Gold’s cast times were especially short, so only the sharpest of players could get out of the way in time.
Nie Yan left a trail of corpses behind him.
Even if some players occasionally got past Lil’ Gold, they would be easily dealt with by the five Vampire Crushers. Few players were capable of enduring their hammer strikes. There were also some who had the idea of testing their own pets against Lil’ Gold. But without exception, they were all trash!
News of Nie Yan being spotted on the shores of the Lava Sea spread like wildfire throughout the Undead Empire. Those with a brain stayed far away from these muddy waters. Those in over their heads were all wiped out. As for the experts, none of them took action. Since Nie Yan was acting so wantonly, he was probably confident in preserving his own life! No matter how many people went, it would be like drawing water from a wicker basket!
Nie Yan swept through everything in his path. He hadn’t encountered a single opponent capable of being his match. It took some time, but finally those hunting him started to wisen up, no longer daring to come within a 60-meter radius of him, lest they had a death wish.
Nie Yan suddenly felt a peculiar change in the air. He focused his senses and immediately detected several dozen Thieves nearby. Their Cloaking was much lower than his Awareness, so none of them escaped his sight. He didn’t even need to activate Eye of Truth.
