Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 507

Chapter 507: 507
Chapter 507 - Clever Use of the Eye of Kirge



Nie Yan selected a suitable position roughly 90 meters away from Dillons, putting him well within the range of the Javelin Launcher .

Nie Yan placed the Eye of Kirge on the ground and started chanting out an incantation . Before long, the previously dull looking orb lit up as a profound light shone out of the eye .

Under the meticulous control of Nie Yan, the Eye of Kirge floated up high into the air, then started flying towards Dillons .

At this moment, an image appeared in front of Nie Yan’s eyes .

From the bizarrely shaped rocks and boulders to the lush vegetation growing along the river’s edge, everything the Eye of Kirge saw was being transmitted to Nie Yan .

This image was a bit different from one seen by the naked eye . It wasn’t as clear but everything was there . As the Eye of Kirge travelled between the boulders and rubble, a tall silhouette entered Nie Yan’s eyes .

It was Troll Dillons!

Dillons looked somewhat restless, moving about . He directed his gaze in the direction of the Eye of Kirge . He appeared to have sensed something .

Nie Yan had the Eye of Kirge disappear into a patch of grass about 20 meters away from Dillons . This item was incredibly small, making it especially difficult to spot when hidden in the cracks between rocks or other locations that could keep it hidden from view .

After failing to find anything, Dillons returned to his passive roaming state .



The player had to stand in place while using the Eye of Kirge, or else its effects would be cancelled . Without taking a single step, Nie Yan retrieved several enchanted javelins from his bag and inserted them into his Javelin Launcher .

As Nie Yan loaded the Javelin Launcher, the image from the Eye of Kirge turned blurry .

When using the Eye of Kirge, the image became clear the more you focused . If you were distracted, the image would turn blurry .

Nie Yan propped up his Javelin Launcher and took aim at the target . With the distance calibrated, he pulled the trigger . A javelin shot out into the sky, arcing through the air, and falling back to the ground .

With a thud, the javelin landed about a meter from Dillons .

Though Dillons was hard to miss with his large frame, it wasn’t a surprise that Nie Yan failed to land a hit . He wasn't too accustomed to using the Eye of Kirge, especially since it was his first time . Not to mention he also wasn’t that familiar with operating the Javelin Launcher . He could only try to fumble his way through .

Nie Yan continued fiddling around, gradually familiarizing himself with both the Eye of Kirge and Javelin Launcher .

After using up a whole stack of javelins, Nie Yan finally got used to it . He could now hit Dillons accurately . After all, Dillons was huge, so he made for an easy target . If he were to aim for something smaller, Nie Yan might have some difficulty .

Nie Yan loaded up an enchanted javelin and took aim with the Javelin Launcher . With a whoosh sound, the javelin arced through the sky and headed straight toward Dillons .

With a pfft sound, blood splashed everywhere as the javelin pierced Dillons’ skin .

−124 A damage value floated up above Dillons’ head .



The javelin’s damage was fairly high . If it were a normal crossbow bolt, at Nie Yan’s current level, he wouldn’t even deal double digits to Dillons . On top of this, the javelin inflicted persistent bleed damage for five seconds, dealing 30 damage every second .

After taking into account the health recovery rate of Dillons, Nie Yan estimated it would take around three hours to kill him .

At this stage of the game, killing a Level 120 Elite was an impossible feat for ordinary players .

Nie Yan continued firing the Javelin Launcher . One javelin after another arced through the sky and struck Dillons .

Dillons roared out furiously . However, with his low wisdom, he had no idea where the enemy was . His vision range was only 30 meters . Anything beyond that was a blur to him . No matter where he moved, the javelins kept falling from the sky .

Under Nie Yan’s unending assault, Dillons’ health was gradually whittled away .

Nie Yan patiently kept at it . Dillons’ death was inevitable .

Three hours later, Dillons let out a tragic roar and collapsed to the ground .

A crisp system jingle rang out . Nie Yan had levelled up . At his current level, levelling up once every three hours was a god-like speed .

Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief . He had finally taken this monster down . He put the Javelin Launcher and Eye of Kirge away and leapt off the rock . He then used the Leaper Ring to vault over the rocks and raging flames and safely landed on the other side .

Nie Yan rummaged through the corpse of Dillons and collected the loot .

Sadly, the Mana Key didn’t drop . Nie Yan checked the loot . He had obtained a piece of Level 120 Silver-grade equipment with decent stats and three gems .

Dillons wouldn’t respawn for another two hours .

Nie Yan went off to level elsewhere for a while, then came back to continue farming Dillons two hours later .

Nie Yan was levelling up quite quickly . The gap between him and the other players was growing wider by the minute .

On the fifth day, Nie Yan had already reached Level 86 . On the Viridian Empire level leaderboards, Tang Yao was in first place at Level 79 . Xie Yao was in second at Level 78 . The third and fifth spot were taken by the guild leaders of Alliance of Mages and Divine Protectors, Crazy Magic and Divine Flame . They were Level 78 and Level 76 respectively .

As for the Satreen Empire, though its population was lower than the Viridian Empire’s, their racial talents were a bit better . This superiority translated into levels . The players there were on average several levels higher than those in the Viridian Empire . Their highest ranked player, Howling Wind, was already Level 82 while Soaring Angel was Level 80 .

After reaching Level 80, levelling became all the more difficult . Although the difference was only two levels, a frightening amount of experience was required to close that gap .

What was even more frightening was that Nie Yan was still levelling up at a whirlwind pace . Before long, he would reach Level 90!

During these days grinding Dillons, an uncontrollable desire grew in Nie Yan’s heart . The desire to be the best . He possessed the skill, having diligently practiced Shadow Dancer techniques, many of which he could comfortably perform . He possessed the items, with the Glimpse of Darkness and Zennarde’s Sword only to name a few . Not to mention that when he reached Level 180, the Tyrant Abak Set should be his too . Soon he would also possess a formidable flying mount in the form of the Darkwing Dragon . He continuously raised the bar for himself, which now lay sky-high . He’d become a legend, someone players looked up to with envy and reverence!

Thinking about becoming the number one player in the game, Nie Yan couldn’t help but get fired up . In the previous timeline, there were simply too many amazing people . To not only distinguish himself among this group of frightening and dazzling talents but also surpass them, how difficult of a thing would that be? He had to constantly surpass his limits .

Nie Yan had returned to Calore several times already, depositing all the loot he collected into the guild treasury . After burning through his supply of javelins, the Enchanters had a second batch of 3,000 ready for him .

As the guild leader of Asskickers United, Nie Yan enjoyed a type of luxury ordinary players could never hope for . If he needed anything, he had hundreds if not thousands of people willing to serve .

Five days later, the gem market gradually cooled down . The existence of the secret gem shop was starting to be doubted . Seeing things weren’t quite right, many players began taking down their listings from the auction houses .

Since prices were no longer going down, those who needed gems quickly started buying them up . Like this, the gem market became lively again .

The mood in the market started changing . The previously inhibited demand was slowly being released .

Although many players were still worried the secret gem shop really did exist, they weren’t as confident as before .

For Nie Yan and the others, this was a good sign . Right now it was still possible to purchase gems for a low price . They would still continue spending all of their gold on gems . In a few more days, the price of gems would most likely have risen substantially .

All the income from the Starry Night Potion Shop, Union of Assassins, and strongholds was used to purchase gems . Although the Fire Resistance Gems Nie Yan and the others had listed up weren’t selling quickly, they had still earned around 300,000 gold . All of it was used to purchase even more gems .

With how high the prices of Fire Resistance Gems were, the players who needed them were quite dissatisfied . However, looking all around the market place, all Fire Resistance Gems with quality ratings of five or higher were being sold at an extremely high price . On the odd occasion some popped up for a lower price, they’d be sold in an instant . Since some players absolutely needed these gems to run dungeons, not buying was not an option . Helplessly, they forked over their gold .

Aside from Nie Yan’s group, many others benefited off this scheme too . One of them was Alliance of Mages . Sensing the change in the air, they had started gobbling up gems, spending more than 2,000,000 gold . A few other guilds had done the same, but they didn’t commit nearly as much gold .

Who knew Crazy Magic would have such foresight? His boldness had allowed Alliance of Mages to earn quite a bit of money . This left a sour taste in Nie Yan’s mouth . However, it was only natural there would be a few dogs picking up after their scraps . Alliance of Mage’s actions had left a noticeable impact on the market . With 2,000,000 gold, another 10 percent of the gems in the market had disappeared .

Asskickers United had seized roughly 35 percent of all the gems in the Viridian and Satreen Empires . Sapphire Shrine, Holy Empire, and the others had taken up roughly 10 percent . Alliance of Mages had taken another 10% . If the amount of gems for sale decreased a bit more, prices would return to normal . Not only that, but it would continue to rise afterwards .
