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

Chapter 301 - Fighting like a Caged Beast

Just as a Thief darted toward Tyrannical, Nie Yan emerged beside him and slashed down with Zennarde's Sword.

−721
−100...

The Thief collapsed dead on the ground. Nie Yan could even deal fatal damage to a Fighter, to say nothing of a weak, leather-armoured Thief!

The remaining Thieves all pounced toward Nie Yan.

They're fast! Nie Yan couldn't help but remark.

At this moment, Tyrannical also cancelled the activation of his Return Scroll.

"Escape, you idiot! Why the hell did you stop your Return Scroll!?" Nie Yan cursed with a frown. The enemy had obviously come prepared. He could cover Tyrannical's escape, then teleport away himself with an Unknown Transfer Scroll.

"Abandon the boss and escape myself? If word got out, how could I face my brothers?" Tyrannical laughed. He raised his dagger and dashed toward the enemy.

Back in Calore, the Agmota Muddy Swamplands dungeon on Specialist difficulty almost exclusively belonged to Asskickers United. Since Unknown Transfer Scrolls dropped at a fairly low rate and Asskickers United generally kept such information under wraps, a guild member like Tyrannical wouldn't be privy to the knowledge that Nie Yan was in possession of an Unknown Transfer Scroll. Nor would Nie Yan casually disclose such a thing.

So naturally, when Tyrannical saw Nie Yan besieged by a squadron of Thieves, he cancelled the activation of his Return Scroll.

"Boss, you leave first. I'll cover you," Tyrannical declared. Nie Yan was the face of Asskickers United. His death would be a heavy blow to the guild's prestige. On the other hand, Tyrannical was a nobody, a guild member who ranked somewhere in the middle of the pack, a random statistic in a guild war or siege. No one would bat an eyelid if he died.

But even nobodies still had their pride and a set of principles they followed!

Although their fame would never be as eclipsing as Nie Yan's, they weren't petty and low!

This was for honour!

Tyrannical worshiped Nie Yan, but his loyalty was still to Asskickers United because that was his family!

Suddenly, Nie Yan felt an extreme discomfort as if something was clutching at his heart. He gazed into the distance and saw a black-robed Shadow Priest standing atop a hill with a sinister smile on his face.

It wasn't easy for him to land this spell on Nie Yan. He had the seven Thieves distract Nie Yan and Tyrannical while he hid in a corner chanting. After six seconds, he finally succeeded in casting the spell!

Dark Magic-Shackles of Strife!

Out of all spells, this one was definitely useful for ensnaring someone. When Shackles of Strife was activated, both the caster and target would be unable to teleport away until either one of them died.

Nie Yan could still move. However, he couldn't use items like the Unknown Transfer Scroll or Return Scroll.

After the Shadow Priest finished casting Shackles of Strife, a large horde of Bloodlust Blades players emerged from the surrounding hilltops, completely entrapping Nie Yan.

Nie Yan never thought someone in Bloodlust Blades would have Shackles of Strife. This was a gross error in judgement!

The skills in Conviction were always full of surprises! Just when he thought everything was settled, the tables had been flipped yet again!

Tyrannical's life was in constant danger as he fought off the six Thieves. Nie Yan appeared behind one of the Thieves and struck them down with a slash from Zennarde's Sword.
