- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 99
Boom!
Amidst the ruins, the five-meter-tall “Headless Assassin, Shaluo,” its pale, slender body, collapsed with a thundering crash, completely crushing an abandoned clock tower!
——
【You have slain “Headless Assassin, Shaluo.”】
【You gained 48,000 experience points.】
【Congratulations, you have obtained 20 evolution points!】
【You received 1,520 days of tradable lifespan.】
——
In addition to the 1,520 days of lifespan from the boss itself, a large number of lifespan orbs burst forth—these were the lifespans the boss had absorbed from other players but had not yet digested.
At a glance, there were approximately 3,000 days of tradable lifespan and an additional three to five hundred years of non-tradable lifespan…
However, Qin Feng did not rush forward to collect the loot.
Instead, he kept a safe distance from the boss’s corpse.
He first equipped the “Follower’s Pendant” and summoned the “Devout Follower.”
“Burn it.”
Qin Feng issued the command.
The Devout Follower immediately opened its shriveled mouth and spewed a green flame, which ignited on the body of the Headless Assassin.
The flames erupted with a series of harsh, screeching cries.
As the green fire burned, thousands of wriggling worms beneath the skin of the Headless Assassin were incinerated, turning into blackened ash!
“Colony Parasites…”
Qin Feng was very familiar with these.
If one approached such a parasitized boss corpse without caution, the parasitic worms would burst out of the corpse’s skin!
Even being parasitized by just one worm meant certain death for a player.
This was because Colony Parasites could endlessly replicate by feeding on the player’s flesh and blood…
It sounded terrifying,
But in reality, these creatures had two fatal weaknesses: they feared fire and could not survive in open air.
Exposed to air for less than three seconds, they would die.
Qin Feng himself did not have fire-based damage.
But the Devout Follower did.
Once the green flames had thoroughly burned through, the body of the Headless Assassin was reduced to a giant dried corpse!
Only then did Qin Feng step forward and use “Hand of Greed” on it…
A pile of loot exploded out, including several items glowing with emerald light.
Qin Feng collected everything and turned to leave!
Not long after he left,
A six-person squad cautiously approached the area…
Leading them was a beautiful woman with black curly hair, known as Grey Rose!
“Fourth, go check it out and see if there’s anything left to loot!”
Grey Rose’s pretty face showed anticipation as she stared at the dried corpse of the Headless Assassin.
One of the team’s assassin players approached carefully… and soon his expression changed, “Something’s not right, boss. The system says this corpse has already been looted. We can’t loot it again!”
“Huh?”
Grey Rose was stunned.
It turned out that her team also had a bronze-level “Hand of Greed.”
With a 20% chance of obtaining an extra loot item from a monster’s corpse, they had hoped to score some easy gains.
But…
“Already looted?”
“Was it Shadow?”
“Did Shadow also learn Hand of Greed?”
Grey Rose forced a bitter smile. This guy really didn’t leave any opportunities for others!
…
Qin Feng made his way back to the center of the Jianghai City ruins.
Next, he planned to settle in the Magic City ruins, as it was a larger city with more resources in the surrounding area.
“Once I get there, I’ll take control of the Evil Spirit Academy hideout.”
“I’ll claim that hideout under my own name.”
A player could own only one hideout.
However…
Qin Feng could still create a guild and then acquire another hideout under the guild’s name!
The sanctuary he sold to the Jianghai City officials was in the Jianghai City ruins, after all.
There was no need for him to establish two hideouts in the same city.
But in the Magic City ruins, he definitely needed a place to stay.
“The Evil Spirit Academy, while not as concealed as the Land of Purity, has a magical defense barrier that is more than twice as strong as other hideouts.”
“This place used to be a magical academy, and deep within the academy lies a magic barrier enhancement device…”
Qin Feng planned to establish a simple guild.
He would then claim the hideout under the guild’s name!
As he headed toward the teleportation portal, Qin Feng glanced at his inventory.
There were about twenty loot items in total, including two pieces of equipment for assassins—a jade-grade weapon and a platinum-grade skill book!
——
【Pale Bone Blade (Jade): Assassin-class weapon. Attack +388, Armor Penetration +125. Strength +39, Agility +48. Requirement: Level 15】
【Unique Effect: When dealing damage, your movement speed doubles for 5 seconds. When this speed-boost effect triggers, you gain a 30% dodge rate.】
——
This jade-grade weapon had an attack power nearly 80% higher than that of the Plague Blade’s 216 points and also added armor penetration, strength, and agility!
The unique effect was also quite useful.
“If I had this effect earlier, I could have easily escaped the boss’s attack range after hitting it with Shadow Strike!”
“I wouldn’t have needed to slide-dodge…”
“And it seems that to defeat the boss at Evil Spirit Academy without taking any damage, a high movement speed will be crucial.”
“It’s perfect for that.”
Qin Feng swapped out the Plague Blade.
Although he would lose 0.3 weak point attack multiplier, the higher attack power, combined with the added strength and armor penetration, meant his total damage output wouldn’t drop.
If it did, it would be only slightly due to the effects.
Moreover, the Plague Blade’s 50% poison burst damage after 3 seconds was of little use to Qin Feng.
With Mercy Kill, even a platinum-level boss couldn’t survive for three seconds!
Next up was the platinum-grade assassin skill book.
——
【Shadow Blade (Platinum): Throws a blade formed from dark energy, dealing single-target dark element damage to a target within 20 meters and adding 600 points of dark element attack. On hit, dispels one random buff (up to platinum level). Cooldown: 12 (6.49) seconds. Requirement: Level 14】
——
“Single-target dark element damage with a buff dispel effect?”
Qin Feng learned it immediately.
This skill was not considered a trash skill.
The dispel effect was particularly valuable.
Especially…
“The platinum-level Shadow Blade can dispel buffs up to platinum level.”
“If I evolve it to epic, or even legendary level, wouldn’t it be able to dispel all current buffs?”
Qin Feng checked his stats.
He currently had 275 evolution points.
He evolved Shadow Blade directly!
——
【You consumed 1+2+3+50 evolution points, leaving 219 points.】
【Shadow Blade (Platinum → Jade → Diamond → Epic → Legendary): Dark element attack increased from 600 → 800 → 1000 → 1200 → 1500, cooldown reduced from 12 → 11 → 10 → 9 → 7 (3.78) seconds. Requirement: Level 14】
【Legendary Effect: When hitting a weak point, reduces cooldown by 3 seconds.】
——
Seeing the skill’s legendary effect, Qin Feng was thrilled.
“Hitting a weak point? Isn’t that just a matter of skill?”
“As long as I hit a weak point, I can reduce the skill’s cooldown by 3 seconds…”
“Doesn’t that mean the final cooldown will be only 0.78 seconds?”
With the casting animation, arm movement, and recovery time factored in, it would essentially be a cooldown-free skill in Qin Feng’s hands!
A near-instant, high-damage single-target skill with a dispel effect!
This was not a skill one would expect to obtain during the early to mid-game!
