Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 796

Chapter 796: 796



The Clemenci Stronghold . A middle-aged man in black, ornamental robes entered the main hall of Angel Corps’ guild headquarters . He was here to meet with Soaring Angel, who was clad in Demon Hunter leather armour and sitting on his throne .

“Fan, my boy, I trust you’ve been well?” Cao Xu chuckled .

“Does Brother Cao have some business with me?” Soaring Angel asked, narrowing his eyes . Their relationship wasn’t nearly as friendly as it appeared on the surface . They had many conflicts of interest, and struggled bitterly behind the scene . If it weren't for the fact they shared a common enemy in Asskickers United, they would never be working together .

“I’ve got a plan in the works, and I’d like your cooperation,” Cao Xu said, as he sat down on a nearby chair .

“Straight to the point, huh, Brother Cao? Well, if I can be of assistance, I’ll naturally lend my help,” Soaring Angel said with a frank smile . Inwardly, he couldn’t help but wonder why this old fox came looking for him .

“I’m sure you’ve heard of the matter of the Blood Reaver Corps in the Viridian Empire?”

“Of course . I assume that’s your doing?”

Cao Xu chuckled . “I estimate the Blood Reaver Corps will give Asskickers United quite the headache . Anyway, I sincerely hope we can cooperate . I’ve already bribed more than 1,000 of their players, and I’m sure you’ve also lured over no small number . If we both strike at once, we can paralyze them, at least for a short while . ”

“That's all well and good . However, if you believe that will be enough to defeat them, that’s just naive,” Soaring Angel said . After clashing with Asskickers United for so long, he knew like no one else how difficult they were to deal with .

“This is only a part of my plan . I’m also working on bribing a large number of players from the Undead Empire and Demon Tribe . Though I don’t expect them to deal much damage to Asskickers United, they’ll help buy us more time to produce Masters,” Cao Xu said . This plan required a fortune, but it couldn’t be helped . Asskickers United was pulling too far ahead . Recently, they had been doing nothing but expanding . By the time they solidified their position in the Viridian Empire, the tip of their spear would be pointed toward Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group .

“I’ll mobilize Angel Corps’ manpower to aid you as best as I can,” Soaring Angel said . He understood Angel Corps’ biggest enemy was Asskickers United . The conflict with the Century Financial Group could be put aside for now .

The two biggest powers in the Satreen Empire started working together in full force . A major event was about to unfold .

With the Century Financial Group and Angel Corps meddling behind the scenes, some changes started occurring in the power structure of the underworld . After receiving their mission, teams of players started setting out for the surface in droves .

. . .

Asskickers United . The Hundred Thieves were searching everywhere for traces of the Blood Reaver Corps, but it was as if they’d disappeared from the face of the world .


Nie Yan and the others couldn’t stay idle in the city forever . While the others went off to level and hunt bosses, Nie Yan set off for Hilderlocke alone . He’d obtained some information about one of the two pieces of the Tyrant Abak Set not yet in his possession .

If Nie Yan could complete the Tyrant Abak Set, he’d feel all the more confident about clashing against the Blood Reaver Corps .

Hilderlocke . Ever since God Executioner Sword admitted defeat, Asskickers United gained absolute control over this place . There were no more major conflicts . The large guilds respected Asskickers United's authority and had accepted their places .

Asskickers United’s influence in Hilderlocke could be seen everywhere . If any guild were to try to go against Asskickers United, they would probably collapse from the inside first . From their point of view, Asskickers United was simply too powerful . Nothing good would come out of provoking them . This was different from when Asskickers United first entered Hilderlocke . Many guilds banded together to oppose them . However, under Nie Yan’s command, their little rebellion was instantly quashed by Battle Crazed Alliance and God Executioner Sword . At that time, the remaining guilds who didn’t take part were trembling in fear, believing they were fated to be swallowed up one by one . But to their surprise, Asskickers United was virutous and offered them a non-aggression pact with relatively fair terms .

Seeing that there was no going against the trend, God Executioner Sword had haggled with Asskickers United before formally joining the alliance . This cemented Asskickers United’s position in Hilderlocke . When the players Asskickers United walked the streets here, they could hold their heads high while basking in the reverence of other players .

After passing through numerous streets, Nie Yan excited the city gates . His goal was a tomb on the outskirts of Hilderlocke . He could learn more information about one of the pieces of the Tyrant Abak Set there .



The tomb was only one kilometer away from Hilderlocke, about a few minutes’ walk .

Nie Yan activated Gale Step and dashed toward the tomb .

About a minute later, Nie Yan arrived at the tomb . This place looked absolutely magnificent . It was made out of white stone and stood in the center of a large square, which was fenced off . There were 13 NPCs standing outside the entrance . Wearing white, solemn-looking robes, they were the tomb keepers .

Apart from these NPCs, there were many players here as well, about 300 or so . They were in line waiting to talk to these NPCs, probably about something quest-related . One 20-man team after another entered the tomb .

At this moment, Nie Yan received a notification .
Go speak with Tomb Keeper Karise .

Nie Yan walked over to the tomb keepers . Looking at them, he quickly found the one he was looking for . Tomb Keeper Karise was 70 years old, yet his eyes were still full of vitality . He was in the middle of chatting with four players . There were about 10 players in line waiting to talk with him .

Nie Yan waited for a while . However, the number of players around Tomb Keeper Karise didn’t appear to decrease . In fact, it only kept increasing . Running out of patience, he headed straight for Karise .

“Hey, you little shit! You looking to die!? Back off! If you want to get in line, ” a Warrior shouted with a fierce expression . He walked over and smacked his palm toward Nie Yan’s head .

Hearing the Warrior’s words, Nie Yan finally understood what was going on . No wonder the line hadn’t gotten shorter despite him waiting for so long . It was these guys making people pay a toll!

Nie Yan lightly stepped to the side, dodging the Warrior’s slap . He then stuck out his leg, tripping the Warrior and causing him to fall flat on his face .



In the previous timeline, people like these would appear all the time around popular NPCs . They would stand guard in front of the NPC . Anyone that wanted to talk to the NPC would have to pay a toll first . More times than he’d like to admit, he encountered these kinds of situations in his past life . Even though he was unwilling back then, he could do nothing else but obediently pay the toll .

Nie Yan swept his gaze around the surroundings . There were at least 30 players in the vicinity moving to surround him . They wore the same emblems, signifying they were all part of the same team .

Nie Yan flicked his wrist, flashing Zennarde’s Sword which burned brightly with black flames .

“You bastard!” The Warrior who fell flat on his face just now was enraged . He got up to his feet and was about to let loose, when his gaze fell on Zennarde’s Sword . He immediately became stupefied . Nirvana Flame!

After seeing Zennarde’s Sword, the 30 players who surrounded Nie Yan were also dumbstruck .

“N-nirvana Flame! W-we deserve death! We had no idea it was you!”

“P-please forgive us! We’ll take our lives immediately! No need to dirty your hands!”

These players all hurriedly begged for forgiveness . This game was their livelihood . They were simply a bunch of freelance professional players while Nie Yan was Nie Yan . As long as he gave the word, every major guild in the Viridian Empire would hunt them down back to Level 0 . This was an extremely frightening kind of power . So, after learning they’d antagonized Nie Yan, they all nearly pissed their pants in fear .

Seeing these people begging for their dog lives, Nie Yan lost all interest in killing them . He coldly said, “Get out of my sight before I change my mind . I don’t want to see any of you here again . ”

“Thank you! Thank you!” These players all tucked their tails between their legs and fled .

Nie Yan walked over to Tomb Keeper Karise .

“Great Prophet, how may I help you?” Tomb Keeper Karise bowed .

All the players in the surroundings gawked in amazement . Seeing how respectful Tomb Keeper Karise treated Nie Yan, their hearts were filled with shock . They would frequently come here . So, they knew Karise held quite a high position in Hilderlocke, equivalent to that of a Marquis . However, even with his high standing, in front of Nie Yan, he was still acting like a servant .

“Tomb Keeper Karise, have you seen any of these items before?” Nie Yan opened up the Glimpse of Darkness and showed him the illustrations of the Tyrant Abak Set .

Karise showed a pensive look before nodding . “Yes, at Magister Lefis’ residence . But…”

“But what?” Nie Yan asked . He could tell Karise appeared to be hesitant .

“Are you looking for this item?” Karise asked, as he pointed at the illustration of the boots of the Tyrant Abak Set .

“Yes . ”

“Magister Lefis is an extremely eccentric fellow . He also hates it when others covet his possessions . ”

“Then what do I need to do to obtain the Abak’s Vorpal Striders from him?”

“You’ll have to defeat him,” Karise replied .

Nie Yan raised an eyebrow . Defeating an NPC Magister? He wondered how strong Lefis was .
