- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 108
Of course, if it were only the initial Platinum-level version of the ‘Venomous Trap’ skill, it wouldn’t be sufficient to handle the current situation.
After all, the Platinum-level ‘Venomous Trap’ allows for a maximum of only three traps.
But this cavern had seven passages around the perimeter, plus two more monster-spawning tunnels overhead!
“I’ll have to evolve it.”
Qin Feng still had 23 evolution points.
He opened the skill panel and began evolving ‘Venomous Trap.’
——
[You spent 1+2+3 evolution points, remaining 17 points.]
[Venomous Trap (Platinum → Emerald → Diamond → Epic): The trap’s stealth level increases from 5 → 6 → 7 → 8. Trapped enemies take 500 → 700 → 900 → 1200 Poison Elemental Damage and suffer 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 seconds of slow and continuous poison damage.]
[Slow: 50%]
[Poison Damage per Second: 100%]
[Maximum Traps: 3 → 5 → 7 → 9, Duration: 3600 seconds.]
——
Three evolutions later, the skill had reached Epic level!
The next evolution would require 50 evolution points, so Qin Feng had to pause.
No matter, though.
An Epic-level Venomous Trap was more than enough for the current challenge.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Feng sprang into action.
In the cavern, he placed a Venomous Trap at the entrance of each of the seven ground passages.
Each trap was a green, poison-elemental sigil.
Qin Feng raised his hand and activated the skill, positioning the traps at the passages’ exits.
Originally, the trap had a 10-meter trigger radius.
But with the ‘Ring of Witch Transformation,’ the range was increased by 25%, extending it to 12.5 meters!
“Perfect, it covers the entire passage.”
“No matter where the monsters come from, they’ll trigger the trap… unless they can fly!”
Qin Feng remained cautious.
He accounted for various scenarios.
Flying monsters could bypass the traps, as could certain monsters with magic-immune shields that would nullify the venomous effect.
Fortunately, Qin Feng could see into the 12.5-meter radius of each trap.
If anything unexpected happened, he could react immediately and make adjustments.
The ability to monitor multiple areas simultaneously was something other players at this stage couldn’t even dream of!
With seven Venomous Traps in place, Qin Feng then moved to the two overhead tunnels, setting traps there as well.
The traps had a 10-second cooldown, reduced to nearly 5 seconds with cooldown acceleration.
By the time Qin Feng finished his preparations, monsters had already started advancing down the nine tunnels!
“Incredible.”
“All of them are ranged monsters.”
“If they reach the passage exits, they’ll trigger the Ice Tide Crystal directly!”
Qin Feng felt a surge of relief.
At that moment, *whsh-sh-sh!*
A series of sounds echoed as the traps activated in every passage, spreading their venomous effects!
It was like ‘mushrooms’ detonating.
-10551!
-9527!
-10408!
…
Damage numbers filled Qin Feng’s vision, rising from the tunnel entrances all around him!
Because it was poison damage, these numbers didn’t benefit from weak point bonuses.
Typically, they wouldn’t get backstab bonuses either.
But now…
With his ‘Backstab Enhancement’ at Legendary, all of Qin Feng’s attacks while in stealth were considered backstabs!
This applied even to poison damage!
The result: each trap enjoyed a 3x Shadow class damage boost, along with an additional 100% backstab bonus, bringing his final damage up to six times the base amount!
And this was only the initial damage.
The Epic-level Venomous Trap dealt one burst of initial damage, plus eight ticks of poison damage over eight seconds—a total of nine hits!
The monsters flooding in from the passages were just low-level creatures between Levels 15 and 18.
They didn’t have much health.
One trap was enough to wipe them out, leaving monster corpses scattered across the tunnels.
‘Rotting Spitter!’
‘Severed Limb Thrower!’
‘Blood Splatter Demon!’
…
Qin Feng observed closely but didn’t spot any particularly challenging monsters.
However, what troubled him was that each wave of monsters emerged simultaneously from all nine tunnels.
In other words, all nine Venomous Traps were triggered at once!
Swiftly, Qin Feng replenished the traps in each tunnel while remaining in stealth.
Before he could finish, monsters from two tunnels were already approaching the Ice Tide Crystal.
Qin Feng dashed to the tunnel entrance.
*Night Blade!*
-51398 (Weak Point Attack)!
-50129 (Weak Point Attack)!
…
These attacks dealt significantly more damage than the Venomous Traps.
After all, they benefitted from weak point multipliers, and these monsters had lower physical defense than elemental resistance.
While using these skills, Qin Feng carefully maintained his distance from the Ice Tide Crystal to avoid accidentally triggering it.
One skill cleared a wave in one tunnel.
Then he moved to the last tunnel entrance.
Raising his hand, he tossed *Shadow Blades* down the tunnel.
Numbers similar to those from Night Blade popped up continuously.
Throughout the entire fight, Qin Feng never left stealth.
Dozens of monsters had already perished under his relentless skills!
——
[The ‘Ancient God’s Cursed Tablet’ has fully charged!]
[Would you like to use it?]
——
At that moment, a notification rang out in Qin Feng’s mind.
The Ancient God’s Cursed Tablet could be used once it was fully charged. If unused, any further kills wouldn’t contribute to the charge, meaning more monsters killed would go to waste…
Although Qin Feng was under pressure, he opened his equipment interface to take a chance…
…
Meanwhile, as Qin Feng defended the crystal in the Ice Tide Cavern, back in the Magic City Ruins…
The Asura Hall guild leader, a young man with glasses, was engaged in a private conversation with a woman codenamed ‘Phoenix Ninth Heaven.’
In the Godforsaken Game, Phoenix Ninth Heaven was Dongfang Yue’s alias.
Dongfang Yue, born into privilege, never believed the Godforsaken Game’s arrival would alter her societal status.
She was quite satisfied with the alias.
However, she was less than pleased with Asura Hall’s guild leader. Her voice in the chat carried a chilling tone: “You’re saying your guild has given up on hunting Ghost Spirit because she’s joined forces with Shadow?”
The Asura Hall leader responded, “Is that a problem? Two of our men have already died by Shadow’s hand. We can’t handle this. Find someone else.”
Dongfang Yue sneered. “So you see Shadow as a bigger threat than me? Don’t forget, I know what you look like. Don’t make me track you down in the real world.”
The guild leader laughed, “You’re joking, right? You think I’m scared? Listen Bitch, I have thirty assassins in my guild, myself included. If we can’t beat Shadow, we’ll still take you down first. Want to see who dies first?”
Hearing this, Dongfang Yue almost choked in rage.
Especially at the word ‘bitch,’ her vision went dark with anger.
No one had ever spoken to her like that before!
Not to her face, anyway.
