Chapter 143: Shy Assassin(2)

[Earth, 20:43]

“Tom will get a beating tomorrow,” Olivia said in a melodious voice as she imagined Tomo Homie’s expression.

His call to girls to come over to the orc dungeon left girls furious. They couldn’t believe that this nerd even thought about that!

Olivia was with them, enjoying their reactions wholeheartedly.

Alex rolled his eyes, “I gotta protect my homie.”

He was in the bathtub. His phone was on speaker mode, so he had been lying down in hot water comfortably. He felt the content of bathing with every fiber of his body.

Olivia smiled on the other side, “How was it?”

“It was fun… I don’t know how to thank you,” Alex chuckled.

“You can tell me how you love me in fifty ways again,” Olivia giggled.

Alex faintly smiled, “Too exhausted to think… I knew it would be tiring, but not that much tiring.”

They talked about their days far away from the Deathwill Castle. For Olivia, she missed her new friends, but she knew she would level up the fastest with her friends by her side.

She could alone try fighting a few monsters around the castle, but that was too dangerous as no one knew what would hungry demons do.

And the girls weren’t here, so she could only return to her player lifestyle.

Alex had a different day. He fought differently for the first time, with boys looking over his back. He fought so many monsters that he could visualize orcs without any problem. And then, Alex got two crucial rewards.

He talked to Olivia about them, “The dungeon rewarded me with the orc’s soul. It was just a fragment, but I got two of them. I got one on each floor.”

Olivia rolled on her bed, thinking loudly, “Big sister said her father made a class strong enough to overcome the system. We don’t know how far Elias Deathwill went, but if his class can affect the dungeon, it is the legendary class indeed.

You learned how to cut through the souls from fighting the dullahans. These two things interacted with each other. I can’t wait to see what will happen on the castle grounds once you use them.

Will the souls turn into the ghosts?” Olivia pondered.

She had heard about the skeletons casually respawning around the castle. That was sure because of the Earth Soul Land’s system. Those skeletons were connected to the Deathwill Castle as they were after all soldiers Elias Deathwill had killed.

“We will see… I’m getting curious, too,” Alex smiled.

The next reward was, of course, a page from Elias Deathwill’s diary. That was unexpected, too unexpected.

Alex theorized, “Is it because I took a path similar to Elias Deathwill? This page should explain something to me, so I look forward to it too.”

Olivia replied thoughtfully, “Do not die after you log in. There might be players in the dungeon who had been keeping an eye on you guys.

If they prepared traps in the spot you had logged out, then you either will die without being able to do anything, or you will have to react instantly. I believe my handsome will be able to react just fine, but I am not sure about others,” Olivia said.

But inwardly, she knew that every friend of her boyfriend was immensely talented. She wouldn’t miss a chance to cajole Alex, though.

Alex chuckled, “They are strong. We will survive and reach the last floor… Because if every floor has a soul waiting for me, then I will, of course, collect them all.”

“That’s my handsome,” Olivia whispered sweetly.

[Next day.]

[Welcome to the Avander World.]

Alex logged in.

He and his friends decided to log in at the same time. That was because they knew that someone could be waiting for them. And if there were traps, then they would together overcome them.

As Alex appeared in the dungeon, he felt goosebumps going through him. He immediately drew out his sword and slashed before himself.

“Arrow?” he whispered while staring at the two halved pieces of arrow falling onto the ground.

The tip of the arrow was poisoned.

Alex squinted his eyes, “Be careful. We are indeed targeted.”

His homies managed to react just in nick time except for their healer.

Tomo Homie’s shoulder got wounded. He cursed at the poison effect while tending to his wounds, “I’m your just average healers!”

“You think it will work?” Pedro commented with narrowed eyes.

But then, Alex smiled, “I have an antidote, you know? He took out an antidote to help him get poison resistance for nearly all poisons. It was made from the forest fairies’ golden tree nectars.

At worst, it would stop the poison from spreading around the body. At best, it would turn the poison useless!

Tomo Homie rolled his eyes, “Why would you even get an antidote?”

Alex chuckled, “I know there’s a guy that doesn’t really like me. And he is a poison user, so I prepared a few just in case.”

Zhen grinned, “That’s my homie.”

They all drank the antidote.

[You have drank The Golden Tree’s Potion.]

[You have gained a high poison resistance.]

A guy who held the bow laced in poison arrows in a distant place sighed, “That’s no good. Their reaction time is beyond normal.”

He knew that his position was exposed, so he packed up his stuff and turned around. But as he did, the archer suddenly felt the excruciating pain spreading from his neck. And then, the unknown pressure kicked him, tilting his head to the side.

Blood sprinkled to the side in abundance.

He widened his eyes in a shock as the system flashed him incredulous numbers.

‘Assassin? They had an assassin watching over them all this time?!’ the archer spoke loudly within himself as he no longer could part his lips.

Then, he lifted his eyes.

[Dancing Shadow Lv. 45 HP:??? MP:???]

“You don’t hurt Tomo Homie,” the shy assassin whispered before killing the archer.

The archer screamed before his death, ‘Fucking bitch! She’s that damn dungeon conqueror from the early-‘

But as he thought he would die soon, the system message flashed in his eyes.

[You have dropped your Long War Bow.]

[Dancing Shadow has cursed you using [Loki’s Curse] Skill.]

[You are temporarily resurrected.]

[You and Dancing Shadow’s lives are connected through Loki’s mischief. If you manage to kill her before she kills you, you will be able to snatch your item back and get two times more rewards for killing her.]

“The fuck is this?” the archer mumbled as he stood confused without any weapon.

That girl just resurrected him! Her weird skill allowed her to stop people from dying by killing them for the second time! However, Dancing Shadow also risked her life.

If that guy somehow killed her instead, he would return to life as if nothing had happened. He would get two times more EXP, he would get back his first dropped item, and be able to snatch her highest-quality item!

But without his bow, the archer was forced to use the spare one.

And he failed against the shy assassin, dying for the second time.

But as he thought that things would get over, Dancing Shadow brought him back to life again.

“You! You will strip me naked?!” the arched howled as he kept losing items.

Dancing Shadow blushed without saying a word.

At last, the archer lost all his stuff, and he died in the worst way possible. He died more than once, lost all his items, and his friends probably would soon face the same death as Dancing Shadow made her way toward Tomo Homie!
