Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 602

Chapter 602 – Baited

A blessing that could at least double one’s stats was called a godly blessing by players .

If a Paladin or Priest learned such a blessing, their value would increase five or sixfold . Using this kind of blessing at a crucial moment inside a dungeon would often have extraordinary effects .

This was also why Guardians and Archbishops were so highly regarded in the previous timeline . Their godly blessings had an enormous impact on any team .

Paladin Lafus had at least eight such skills . These blessings were originally fairly ordinary skills . However, due to their ranks being so high, all of them at Rank 10 or higher, they had become awe-inspiring skills .

Dark, Ardent, and the other Thieves from Bloodfiends were also astonished . They were quickly losing control over the situation .

“What’s going on? Where did this Paladin Lafus come from? Why is this NPC suddenly helping Splendid Temple?” Dark muttered . After receiving those blessings, the players from Splendid Temple became extremely difficult to deal with . They had no choice but to retreat . Dark was inwardly apprehensive . The change in the strength of the players from Splendid Temple was obvious . This kind of before and after difference allowed them to all the more understand Paladin Lafus’ might .

“I don’t know . This NPC just popped out of nowhere . ” Ardent was baffled . NPCs generally wouldn’t help players deal with an enemy . There were only a few exceptions . Could Lafus be Splendid Star’s summon or servant? Ardent immediately discarded this thought . If this were true, why didn’t Splendid Star summon Lafus from the beginning?

The situation was getting out of their control . Winter Darkness, Death Descent, and Sky Siever were mysteriously on the backfoot . Phantom Princess Ina who still hadn’t died was sweeping through the players in her vicinity . Due to the damage not being enough, she was slowly recovering her health . The disturbance on the side of Winter Darkness, Death Descent, and Sky Siever attracted her attention, and so disaster struck them . After taking three rounds of spells from her, they suffered heavy losses .

Nie Yan observed Phantom Princess Ina wreaking havoc in the distance . Even though taking her down would be difficult, it was still doable . He would put that aside for now and focus on killing the players from Bloodfiends . He had no idea where Dark, Ardent, and the other three went .

Nie Yan moved over to the area where he last saw them .

Eye of Truth!

His eyes flashed with a profound light . As he searched the surroundings, it wasn’t long before he spotted numerous silhouettes . They were all Thieves from Bloodfiends . They didn’t appear to have any intention of running .

“Should I kill a few of them myself…?” Nie Yan wondered .

After pondering for a moment, Nie Yan looked toward Lafus in the distance . “It’s better if I have Lafus do it . ”

At Nie Yan’s order, Lafus quickly rushed over . He was only 30 meters away from the Thieves from Bloodfiends .

“That NPC is coming over . Should we leave?” Seal asked . With their strength, defeating Lafus would pose some challenge . Winter Darkness, Death Descent, and Sky Siever were currently at a disadvantage . If they revealed themselves at this crucial moment, perhaps they could flip the balance of the battle back to their favour .

“I doubt he can discover us . Let’s keep waiting . He’s just an NPC . He probably doesn’t have much intelligence,” Dark said . After interacting with so many Lords and NPCs, he came to realize that their biggest weakness was their poor AI . As long as you grasped certain tricks, they were easy to deal with .

What Dark and the others failed to realize was that Paladin Lafus was being controlled by a player . So, his combat senses weren’t any worse than a player’s .

Lafus slaughtered the players from Sky Siever while inching closer toward Dark and the others . He appeared completely oblivious to their existence .

Dark and the others carefully probed Lafus . After discovering that he still hadn’t noticed them even after approaching within five meters of him, they became bolder . They continued trying to find out his detection range .

Nie Yan’s gaze fell on the skills in Lafus’ skill bar . With so many overpowered skills, killing one or two Thieves couldn’t be simpler .

Dark and the others weren’t the slightest bit aware that they had fallen into Nie Yan’s trap .

“This NPC’s Awareness is really low . Dark, how about we try killing him?” Ardent said . He was starting to get restless .

They figured out that Paladin Lafus’ detection range was only three meters . At that range, they could easily pull off an ambush . Like this, the five of them could CC him to death .

“Who’s going to take the lead?” Dark asked .

“I’ll do it,” Seal replied . He was the youngest out of all of them .

“Alright, you take the lead in CCing that NPC . When he’s stunned, we’ll all pounce on him!” Dark said . Aside from having powerful blessings and high health, Lafus’ other stats didn’t seem like much .

Seal started approaching Lafus from behind .

Seeing a silhouette gradually approaching Lafus, Nie Yan smirked . It was finally starting .

After arriving within three meters of Lafus, Seal pounced toward his back .

At this moment, Lafus protected himself with Holy Rite, which made him immune to all crowd control .

KLANG! Seal struck Lafus in the back .

The crowd control skill had no effect . Seal was dumbstruck . He didn’t expect Lafus to have such sharp senses . Lafus had activated Holy Rite at the same instant he pounced forward . A feeling of dread washed over him .

Eyes of the Divine!

Lafus’ eyes suddenly shone with a golden light . He immediately locked onto Seal, Ardent, Dark, and the others .

All the Thieves in the vicinity were revealed before him .

Before Seal’s feet could even touch the ground, Lafus cast Holy Binding, locking down all the Thieves .

Holy Strike!

Lafus cleaved down onto Seal’s body . His blade easily cut through Seal’s armour . It was an instant kill!

“Shit, we’ve been baited!”

Lafus’ combat senses were much sharper than they originally imagined .

“Everyone, run!” Dark anxiously shouted . They activated skills like Gale Step to escape .

Seeing Dark and the others fleeing, Nie Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold light . “You want to run? It won’t be that easy!”

Indomitable Will!

Lafus’ speed sharply increased severalfold . He barrelled toward Dark and the others like a tank at full throttle .

Even though Dark and the others were quite fast with the speed buff from Gale Step, they were moving at a snail’s pace compared to Lafus . Even Nie Yan couldn’t hope to outrun him, let alone them .
