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

Chapter 420 - Frightening Might of a Golden Dragon

"Holy crap! I'm invincible!" Edgeless exclaimed. He could really let loose now. Taking advantage of his empowered state, he rushed into a group of Warriors and started a massacre.

Frenzied Blitz!

Eight Fighters were hit by a powerful force and collapsed dead on the ground in an instant.

Nie Yan surveyed his surroundings. Bladelight and the others were immersed in battle, rampaging through the enemy's ranks. He recited a cryptic chant and summoned Lil' Gold.

A giant Golden Dragon suddenly emerged on the battlefield. This was Lil' Gold's first debut in the war against Bloodlust Blades. He had already reached Level 56, with matchless stats that left players breathless. His health and defense were especially frighteningly high.

Lil' Gold immediately attracted the attention of the enemy. But before they had time to react, he breathed out scorching hot flames, incinerating more than 30 players from Bloodlust Blades.

Lil' Gold chanted out a series of words in the dragon language and targeted a dense crowd of players in the distance.

Meteor Drop!

A giant meteor crashed into the earth with a deafening bang. A massive explosion engulfed everything within a 25-meter radius as countless fireballs flew out. Within the raging inferno, more than 300 players were burned to ashes.

It looked like a scene straight out of the depths of hell. The surrounding players from Bloodlust Blades had dumbfounded looks on their faces.

What a powerful spell!

Lil' Gold charged into the enemy's ranks. The players from Bloodlust Blades retaliated in a haphazard fashion. A shower of spells bombarded his golden scales while several Warriors rushed forward with their swords raised in an attempt to stop him.

At this moment, Lil' Gold let out a thundering roar.

Explosive Counter!

Everyone within a 20-meter radius of Lil' Gold was swept up by a powerful force.

Lil' Gold's might was awe-inspiring!

Even the players from Asskickers United were left shaken. Although they knew Nie Yan owned a pet Golden Dragon, they never expected it to have grown so powerful.

Nie Yan was extremely satisfied with Lil' Gold's performance. Ordinarily, any pet with a Growth Rate of 15 would become a powerful existence at Level 50. Lil' Gold was already fairly rare with a Growth Rate of 20. Add this to the fact he was fed an Evolution Crystal, increasing his Growth Rate to 25, and he would become a heaven-defying existence![1]

Bladelight and the others brought out their own pets too. There was a Cheetah, a White Tiger, an Imp, and so on. But all of them paled in comparison to Lil' Gold.

By the time Nie Yan's group had killed around 1,500 players, 60 players wearing high-level gear could be spotted fast approaching from the plains in the distance.

「Everyone, get ready to use your Unknown Transfer Scrolls!」Nie Yan said after spotting these new arrivals.

The enemy's elites had finally arrived. It wouldn't be wise for Nie Yan's group to confront them while being so heavily outnumbered.

At this moment, an arrow wreathed in flames flew toward Nie Yan's back.

Sensing danger, Nie Yan instinctively activated Shadow Waltz just before the arrow struck him, taking advantage of the two seconds of invincibility to block the attack.

A giant flaming bird engulfed Nie Yan in fire. However, he remained unharmed.

Seeing his attack fail, a trace of shock flashed across Soaring Angel's face. He never expected Nie Yan to successfully block his arrow in this kind of situation. He let out a low grunt.

Spirit Eyes!

His eyes blossomed out with a green light. However, no matter where he looked, he couldn't find any trace of Nie Yan.

What high Cloaking!

Soaring Angel no longer paid attention to Nie Yan. He nocked three icy arrows and fired at Lil' Gold.

「Bang! Bang! Bang!」A thick layer of ice covered Lil' Gold's body. This was the Frost Arrow skill of an Elven Demon Hunter. It could lock down a target in ice!

At this moment, the nearby Mages targeted Lil' Gold with their magic. His Meteor Drop just a moment ago was too frightening. Such a threat had to be eliminated first, no matter the cost!

Several dozen spells rained down from the sky, with countless more on their way. Just when it looked like Lil' Gold was about to be killed, he suddenly disappeared with a bright flash of light. Nie Yan had unsummoned him!

Nie Yan looked toward where the Frost Arrows were shot from and saw an Elven Demon Hunter in azure leather armour. He looked quite conspicuous among the crowd. All his equipment was Sub Legendary-grade!

Nie Yan's eyes trembled. It was the guild leader of Angel Corps, Soaring Angel!

Nie Yan's knowledge of Soaring Angel was limited to only a few videos. Besides that, Xie Yao had previously told him at her birthday banquet that Fan Yuan was Soaring Angel! Regardless of what Fan Yuan's relationship with Cao Xu was, he was a target that had to be taken out!

Killing intent welled up in Nie Yan's heart.

Everyone in Nie Yan's group was suddenly in perilous danger as Bloodlust Blades began their counterattack. They suffered attacks on all sides from Soaring Angel's group of elites.

Bladelight and the others crushed their Unknown Transfer Scrolls. They had accomplished their objective. Now was the time to make their getaway!

Following multiple flashes of light, more than half the players from Asskickers United disappeared from the battlefield.

Seeing Bladelight and the others leave, Nie Yan came out of stealth and locked eyes with Soaring Angel from across the battlefield. With a cold smile on his face, he raised his middle finger and made an obscene gesture.

"Shadow Priests, lock him down with Shackles of Strife!" Soaring Angel shouted. Nie Yan still dared to behave so arrogantly under these circumstances? He was infuriated!

But before the Shadow Priests could react, Nie Yan vanished from sight.

Every single player from Asskickers United had escaped. All that remained were the piles of corpses from the players from Bloodlust Blades on the ground.

"Fucking bastards! They sure run fast!" Mad Blade cursed loudly. He hadn't even arrived before Asskickers United's players fled.

--------------------------------------------

1. The raws in this chapter state that the Growth Rate of Lil' Gold increased to 25 after consuming an Evolution Crystal. If you check back to Chapter 278, it actually only changed from 15 to 20. I'm honestly not sure if this is a mistake or retcon from Mad Snail. But I'm leaning towards the latter.☜
