Chapter 82: Mysterious Assassin

Su Sheng glanced back sarcastically; sure enough, a level 30 wild monster was slowly walking away, and a piece of junk equipment lay silently on the ground.

The monsters behind were all aggressive, attack-type monsters.

Su Sheng could easily avoid these monsters' aggro ranges, but the assassins following behind didn't have that level of skill.

Next, stealth detection is level 10.

Now, aside from those on the level ranking list, these ordinary assassins naturally haven't reached level 20.

Their stealth is completely ineffective against level 30 monsters.

Instead, they are all agility assassins, pure squishies; at this stage, against level 30 monsters, the only outcome is being instantly killed.

Afterwards, Su Sheng couldn't be bothered to go back and pick up that junk, because he could tell it was a plain store item.

After passing through the area of level 30 monsters, Su Sheng headed straight for the destination.

This whole area is filled with level 30 monsters; Su Sheng tried provoking them a bit, and it was still within his tolerable range.

However, as he approached the mission objective, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate and dilapidated.

Faint black energy could be seen drifting in the air.

Far off, Su Sheng saw the destination, but...

Inferior Demon Soldiers

Level: 38

Attack:???

Defense:??

HP:??

Skills:??

Description: Demon General Kakel, through himself, infected local soldiers with demon energy, converting them into inferior products, yet they still possess some combat capability.

These are the small monsters on the outskirts of the Great Rift, many and densely packed.

Su Sheng tried, but relying solely on himself to deal with them was too taxing.

He couldn't block them, his evasion checks basically failed; although blocking reduced damage, the damage was still high.

Shadow Step also didn't work because they were so dense; a slip would aggro other monsters.

Shadow Step is only a dueling technique; Swimming Dragon Body is useful, but it's purely a dodge skill—when there are many attacks to dodge, there's hardly any chance to attack.

With no other choice, Su Sheng had to temporarily retreat.

Looking at the black-energy-emitting Great Rift ahead, Su Sheng curled his lips, "Damn, can't even get through the gate?"

But thinking about it, this mission gives that much experience, and the second step is the strength of Demon Energy Castle; this third step must be something even stronger than Demon Energy Castle.

But Su Sheng didn't expect the difficulty to spike this much.

Moreover, this is only the outer fringe monsters; the target boss probably isn't that Kakel, right?

A named boss—Su Sheng felt both anticipation and apprehension.

Who doesn't like fighting bosses, but if the boss is too strong it's no good—can't beat it...

Anyway, looking at it now, this Demon Suppression III mission is probably not doable at his current stage.

But having come this far, not taking a look would feel like a loss he couldn't accept.

He glanced at Lion Hunt's skill cooldown—still about twenty-plus minutes.

Let's wait!

Anyway, he still needed to go check it out.

As for those twenty minutes.

Su Sheng's gaze turned to those Inferior Demon Soldiers.

"Crack~"

Eighteen minutes later.

The Inferior Demon Soldier in front collapsed.

He could fight, but Su Sheng's state was a bit sorry—half HP left, and his Blood Bottle was on cooldown.

Moreover, he had to pull them out carefully; one slip would drag out two or more, forcing him to give up.

It took eighteen minutes to kill just one, and he had to be careful the whole time; with experience protection, it was obviously not worth it.

Su Sheng lost the will to grind monsters; now he just wanted to wait two minutes for Lion Hunt to finish cooldown, then rush in to check the boss's situation.

The two minutes passed in an instant.

Lion Hunt cooldown finished.

Su Sheng was about to act, but suddenly his brow twitched.

"Huh?"

Su Sheng looked ahead in surprise; among the crowd of Inferior Demon Soldiers, there were faint traces on the ground.

Just moments ago there was nothing—there's an assassin! An invisible assassin!

But these are level 38 monsters; that spot in the monster center should have been detected by them already.

At this stage, there are basically no players above level 28.

Yet Su Sheng's judgment is that there really is an invisible assassin there!

"Whoosh~"

After the two Inferior Demon Soldiers in front wandered off, that faint trace also moved.

This time Su Sheng was 100% sure—sure enough, there was an assassin!

Earlier he guessed he was too focused on fighting monsters to notice when he arrived.

Although he didn't know why, the monsters couldn't detect his invisibility, but his actions and awareness were child's play before Su Sheng.

For a moment Su Sheng also stopped his actions, curiously watching the assassin's movements, not knowing what they intended to do.

Moreover, what's most curious is why a level 38 monster cannot detect his stealth.

Finally, under Su Sheng's gaze, the mysterious assassin moved bit by bit, without alarming any inferior demon soldiers.

When encountering a large group of inferior demon soldiers, he would stop and wait for those wandering inferior demon soldiers to leave before continuing forward.

In the end, it took about ten minutes to pass through the position of the inferior demon soldiers ahead and enter the Great Rift behind.

They're also going to the Great Rift? That's interesting.

Lion Hunt, activate!

No matter what they're doing, I'm just checking the situation.

Agility sync 510 points!

Charge!

Swish~

With extremely high agility, Su Sheng charged forward all the way!

Swimming Dragon Body!

Swish~

A large swath of low-grade demon soldiers had their hostility provoked by Su Sheng.

But before they could catch up, Su Sheng had already left the hostility range and provoked the hostility of other low-grade demon soldiers.

If viewed from high above, one can clearly see Su Sheng's whole body like a swimming dragon, smoothly weaving through the mass of low-grade demon soldiers.

The meticulous ten-minute endeavor of the mysterious assassin, Su Sheng easily rushed in, taking less than a minute total.

After diving into the Great Rift, the surrounding environment instantly became darker.

Moreover, there are monsters inside the Great Rift, although not as dense as outside, but similar in appearance.

Su Sheng, leveraging his speed advantage, swung a sword but failed to break defense; however, luckily triggered a bit of Phoenix Flame.

-10

-10

-10

Thinking of Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame, Su Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit envious; likewise lasting 5 seconds, but Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame deals 50 damage per hit to small monsters, and perhaps 30 resistance per hit against the ultimate magic puppet.

Low-grade demon soldiers

Level: 40

Attack:??

Defense:??

HP:??

Skills:??

Description: omitted

Level 40 small monster!

What about that assassin? Su Sheng glanced around and roughly discovered the traces left by them, heading deeper into the Great Rift.

Although the monsters here are higher-level, they are not as dense, making the assassin's movements actually more convenient.

Su Sheng also didn't hesitate and followed directly, the mission objective also lying in that direction.
