Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 443 - Scammed!

It was a duel against King of the World! Victory was the only option!

Nie Yan had numerous powerful skills at hand, along with unequalled attack power and defense. As long as he didn't get stunned, he was confident no Thief could match him blow for blow. However, things might get tricky if he were stunned. Every high level Thief could chain stun a target for at least six seconds. Given the quality of King of the World's equipment, he could probably hundred to zero Nie Yan during this time frame.

Nie Yan activated his Darkbright Barrier, causing a membrane of black light to envelop him.

King of the World pounced toward Nie Yan. The two clashed, exchanging multiple blows. They dodged and weaved in an effort to probe each other out. Neither side revealed any of their trump cards.

Concussive Blow!

King of the World's dagger stabbed out toward Nie Yan's forehead.

「Klang!」Nie Yan parried the attack by raising his dagger.

Spinning Strike!

With a pivot of his foot, King of the World's figure blurred, then reemerged with dagger plunging towards Nie Yan's back.

Nie Yan might not be a match for Bayonet in reality, but this was inside Conviction! No one could escape the restraints of stats!

Just as the Spinning Strike was about to land, Nie Yan dodged with Shadow Waltz and disappeared into stealth.

Owl Sight!

King of the World immediately locked onto Nie Yan's retreating figure with his significantly enhanced senses.

Skewering Assault!

King of the World instantly arrived behind Nie Yan and pierced him through his back. Blood splattered the ground as Nie Yan lost more than 1,200 health.

What frightening damage! It truly deserved to be called a Great Thief skill! Nie Yan activated Berserk Transformation from the Slaughter Fiend Medallion, gaining a burst of attack power and movement speed, then slashed out with Phantom Assassination. Zennarde's Sword drew a cold arc toward King of the World's throat.

This sort of in-your-face clash between Thieves relied heavily on skill. Even a single moment could decide victory and defeat.

King of the World avoided Nie Yan's attack with Gale Step, then rapidly retreated to give himself some breathing room.

Three seconds... two seconds... one second, the invincibility from Gale Step finally wore off. Nie Yan quickly locked onto King of the World's position and targeted him with Intimidate. His fleeing figure froze in place.

King of the World's heart trembled. What kind of skill was this? His whole body was paralyzed! He was entirely exposed after being struck by Intimidate!

Gale Ambush!

Nie Yan's figure sped forward as he almost instantly arrived behind King of the World.

King of the World hurriedly protected himself with a barrier skill to offset some of the damage. He also activated the Great Thief skill, Shadow Form, which made him immune to crowd control effects.

「Bang!」Nie Yan ruthlessly struck King of the World in the back of the head. However, the stun effect of Smothering Strike was negated by Shadow Form.

So what if the enemy couldn't be stunned? Taking advantage of the attack boost from Gale Ambush, Nie Yan followed up with Backstab.
