Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 2)

Chapter 229 - Meeting of the Bigshots

Nie Yan and Smoke Stub's actions plunged the Azure Falling Sky guild into chaos.

The Charge executed by Smoke Stub just a moment ago was perfect, whether in timing, power, or direction, as it delivered Clear Sky right to Nie Yan, who finished him off with a decisive blow from Cut Throat. The coordination between them was impeccable. If someone posted a video of this battle online, the final moments would inevitably become a classic.

"It was a pleasure fighting together," Nie Yan said with a light smile before going back into stealth.

Smoke Stub also found battling alongside Nie Yan to be extremely enjoyable. With a wide smile on his face, he exclaimed, "Likewise!"

Both Cold Peak and Wood Grace had sacrificed their lives in order to give them the perfect opportunity to kill Clear Sky. A hint of sorrow emerged in Smoke Stub's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. This was a battlefield; he didn't have any time to be wasting wallowing in grief. He charged back into the fray with his greatsword raised. It was time for Withered Leaf to strike back!

"Brothers of Withered Leaf, slaughter these bastards!" Smoke Stub roared. He was the living embodiment of the reaper's scythe. Wherever he passed, heads would fall.

Nie Yan's actions left people breathless as he materialized behind unsuspecting Priests, and killed them with lightning-fast efficiency before disappearing again like a phantom in the battlefield. Numerous players ended up dying by his hands.

The elites from Asskickers United broke through the enemy lines. Azure Falling Sky players dropped like flies while the survivors were slowly forced into retreat.

Undying Scoundrel unleashed a torrent of fire on a crowd of Azure Falling Sky players. As a blanket of damage numbers floated up into the sky, more than half the players were immediately annihilated.

Monochrome, Edgeless, and the others steamrolled through the enemies before joining up with Nie Yan and Smoke Stub's group.

"Boss, we're here!" Monochrome greeted. He as well as the others were branded with deep red names. It was evident they had killed many players along the way.

Nie Yan nodded. "How are our losses?"

"Only eight casualties so far, and we've retrieved all the equipment they dropped," Edgeless replied. Such losses in a large-scale battle were very small, negligible even. Before they launched their assault, they had gone through careful preparation. With the protection of the Warriors and Paladins, Summer Bug, Undying Scoundrel, Miracle Dancer, Sunny South, and the other mages swept away the enemy with group magic. The results were excellent.

As a consequence, the kill counts of Summer Bug and the other Mages skyrocketed upwards.

By now, the guild leader of Azure Falling Sky, Clear Sky, resurrected in Calore. He had actually died to Smoke Stub. This was his greatest disgrace!

「I don't care what it takes, I want Smoke Stub's head!」Clear Sky roared. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.

Clear Sky's hatred for Smoke Stub was engraved into the core of his very being. Even though he knew the forces of Asskickers United were rushing over, he still chose to take the risk of eliminating Smoke Stub instead of retreating.

Clear Sky's orders were carried out efficiently as the players under him quickly gathered together. Despite his explosive temper and callous nature, to the extent where every minor grievance had to be paid back manyfold, he was still a competent commander. His forces soon moved to surround Smoke Stub's group.
