Chapter 612 - Breathtaking Attack (1/2)

Three Thieves circled in on Painted Muslin. They coordinated together like a pack of wolves, securing an area and taking down the prey as quickly as possible with their absolute number advantage. After which they would swiftly withdraw and stalk their next target, patiently waiting for the opportunity to pounce.

Repel!

Evasion!

Flame Burst!

...

The players on both sides used their skills. In a team battle, Thieves had an innate advantage. If one of them were surrounded, they could immediately escape with skills like Gale Step. Meanwhile, the rest of their team could focus down a single target.

Wolf pack tactics were the most suitable for groups of Thieves. The players from Bloodfiends had long since mastered these tactics to perfection.

Teams composed of purely Warriors and Paladins were the most effective at defending against wolf pack tactics. However, Painted Muslin, Undying Scoundrel, Natural Fiend, and Lustboy were all casters. Mistaken Smile was the only melee member in their team, and he was a Thief.

Seeing the three figures pouncing on Painted Muslin from different directions, Undying Scoundrel and the others waved their staffs, sending out volleys of fireballs in an attempt to save her. BANG! BANG! BANG! However, the Thieves took advantage of the brief invincibility granted by skills like Gale Step to avoid taking damage. They broke out of the smoke and flames undaunted.

Painted Muslin instantly felt an intense amount of pressure. With a wave of her staff, she shielded herself with a Radiant Barrier.

Dark materialized next to Painted Muslin. His dagger was already stabbing towards her. Just as the attack was about to pierce through her shield, she opened her mouth and let out an ear-piercing screech.

Howl of Terror!

“Hmph! Parlor tricks!” Dark snorted. He activated Mind Silence, interrupting Painted Muslin mid-cast.

At this moment, two more daggers stabbed toward Painted Muslin’s head.

Painted Muslin would normally have no trouble dealing with any of the Thieves from Bloodfiends’ main five. However, in a one on three situation, even if she stopped one attack, she still had two more to deal with.

Just as it looked like all hope was lost, a dagger-wielding silhouette emerged right in front of Painted Muslin. DING! Dark’s attack was parried.

Painted Muslin’s saviour was Mistaken Smile. As he stopped Dark’s attack, he gently swept out his foot and tripped Shadow.

In this sort of tense situation, Shadow had no way of evading. As soon as he felt his foot get hooked, he lost his balance and crashed into the ground face first. He rolled around in anguish and pain.

Painted Muslin targeted Seal with Fear, causing him to flee uncontrollably in the opposite direction.

Dark, Shadow, and Seal’s three-man ambush was successfully stopped. Mistaken Smile’s first appearance in battle was one to remember, using his dagger to parry and his foot to trip at the same time. He had executed these two moves with flawless timing and precision.

In a split-second, everyone’s eyes focused on Mistaken Smile. The scene just now lingered in their minds.

This was another apex Thief who didn’t lose out to Sun nor King of the World!

Another top expert had appeared! Just where was Asskickers United finding them all?
