Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 797

Chapter 797



“Can you tell me where I can find Magister Lefis?” Nie Yan asked .

“I’m not sure where he is right now, but if you wait 30 minutes, you’ll likely get to meet him . He comes here around this time every day to hand out quests,” Tomb Keeper Karise said .

Nie Yan wasn’t interested in the quest Magister Lefis handed out . At his level of achievement, he could ignore these kinds of quests .

Nie Yan stood to the side and patiently waited for Magister Lefis to arrive .

There was a constant influx of players . The square gradually got busier, yet there was a wide open space all around Nie Yan . No one dared to come near him, instead gazing at him from far away . Rumours quickly spread on why he was waiting here .

Nie Yan looked around . The area around the entrance was starting to feel cramped with 600+ players already here, and still more arriving by the minute . It appeared many people were entering the tomb today .

About 30 minutes later, an NPC in ashen robes arrived in the square .

“Look, Magister Lefis is here . ”

“Let’s see if we can trigger his quest . We only have 10 minutes before he leaves!”

Magister Lefis’ appearance created a disturbance in the square .

“Are you stupid? What do you think Nirvana Flame is waiting here for? He’s definitely here to look for Magister Lefis . ”

Seeing Nie Yan walk over to Magister Lefis, no other players dared to move . They occasionally snuck glances in his direction . Was he here to receive Magister Lefis’ quest too? Magister Lefis often issued herb gathering quests . Even though his temperament was eccentric, he offered generous rewards . So, players from all around came to help him gather herbs .

However, why would Nirvana Flame be interested in such a basic quest?

“Hello, Magister Lefis,” Nie Yan greeted .

Magister Lefis glanced over at Nie Yan with a cold expression . He gave a slight grunt in response .

“You see, I’m wondering if you’re in possession of Abak’s Vorpal Striders . I’ve been looking everywhere for this item . If you’re willing to part ways with it, I’ll buy it off you for a high price,” Nie Yan said .

“I do have Abak’s Vorpal Striders in my possession . But I won’t hand it over to you, or anyone else,” Lefis replied, his eyes flickering with hostility .

“How about we make a trade . I’ll offer you a piece of equipment of equal quality to Abak’s Vorpal Striders . You can’t wear them anyway . I believe it’s in our best interest to make this exchange,” Nie Yan said . Lefis' cold attitude rubbed him the wrong way, but he suppressed his anger .

“I told you, I’m not selling . Scram, or I’ll send you out of here myself,” Magister Lefis said . Not bothering to give Nie Yan a second glance, he walked past him .

Sure enough, Tomb Keeper Karise hadn’t exaggerated about Lefis at all . This man really had an eccentric temperament, refusing to mince words in the slightest . It appeared he would have to use force like Tomb Keeper Karise suggested . He inspected Lefis with Transcendent Insight . He was Level 160 with 500,000 health .


Magister Lefis didn’t have much health . However, as an NPC Magister, his battle prowess would definitely be frightening .

“Abak’s Vorpal Striders are very important to me . What if I must obtain this item, no matter what?” Nie Yan said to Magister Lefis’ back .

Magister Lefis halted his step . Not bothering to turn his head back, he coldly spat out, “Over my dead body . ”

Nie Yan pulled out Zennarde’s Sword and pointed the blade at Magister Lefis . “A battle it is then . ”

“Your words, not mine, you foolish idiot . You’ll pay for your stupidity today!” Magister Lefis said, as an icy killing aura erupted out .

An ice magic specialist!



Nie Yan’s heart trembled . Ice magic was known for its extremely powerful crowd control ability . No matter what, he couldn’t let himself get hit, or he’d be dead for sure .

The surrounding players had formed a large circle around Nie Yan and Magister Lefis . Even though they really wanted to know what these two were talking about, they didn’t dare to disturb them . Suddenly seeing Nie Yan pointing Zennarde’s Sword at Magister Lefis and Magister Lefis erupting with an icy killing intent, they were all dumbstruck . Could Nie Yan be challenging Magister Lefis? Was he crazy? There was an enormous difference between player Magisters and NPC Magisters . Many of the NPCs who became Magisters had spent a lifetime of comprehending the essence of magic . They far surpassed player Magisters .

Nie Yan had actually challenged an NPC Magister . This was unbelievable!

“Come on . Since I’m the bad guy here, it’s only fair that I let you have the first move,” Nie Yan said . He wasn’t the least bit perturbed with the fact he was facing an NPC Magister .

“Is something wrong with his head? He’s letting Magister Lefis have the first move!?”

The onlookers were stunned . With their little strength, they couldn’t possibly understand the actions of someone on Nie Yan’s level .

Nie Yan allowed Magister Lefis the first move in order to preserve the honour of a Great Prophet . If he attacked first and word got out, the NPCs would label him a robber . But if Magister Lefis attacked first, it meant both sides had agreed to a duel .

If one wasn’t thinking carefully, these kinds of details were easy to overlook .

“You arrogant brat!” Magist Lefis waved his staff, firing out an ice arrow .

Only an ice arrow, Nie Yan thought . Just as he was about to raise Zennarde’s Sword to block, the ice arrow split into three, and the three then split into nine .

NPC Magisters had a profound understanding of magic and could freely manipulate it at will .

Nie Yan leaped to the side . The ice arrows barely missed him, their icy aura causing his body to tremble .

As his feet touched the ground, a ring of ice formed below Nie Yan and was about to activate .



Crap! Nie Yan quickly activated Gale Step . With a ding sound, the ice around his feet shattered and failed to trap him .

Magister Lefis snorted . With a wave of his staff, he called down an Ice Rain . The raindrops covered the ground in a layer of ice .

Nie Yan had to go all out . Magister Lefis was far stronger than any player Magister he had faced before . Tang Yao, Xie Yao, Undying Scoundrel, and the rest were like children compared to Magister Lefis! This was a Magister in the truest sense, capable of manipulating all sorts of magic at will, bringing out the full potential of every attack, and timing everything with the utmost precision .

As the surrounding temperature plummeted, the onlookers started to shiver and retreated several hundred meters back . Looking at the center of the turmoil, Nie Yan and Magister Lefis were already hidden within a white fog . Only the sounds of spells exploding let them know a fierce battle was going on . The square had become their battlefield .

Everyone was at a loss for words . None of them expected the battle to become this intense . What shocked them the most was that Nie Yan was actually able to go toe-to-toe with an NPC Magister!

A rainbow appeared over the battlefield as the sun shone down on the icy fog .

This place had already become its own separate world . The players didn’t feel the slightest warmth from the sunlight .

Within the white fog, Nie Yan was on the backfoot . Magister Lefis was simply too strong . The endless barrage of instantaneous spells left him dodging around frantically with no opportunity to retaliate .

Magister Lefis kept up with Nie Yan’s speed with the Blink spell . Every time he appeared, he would send a stream of magic flying towards Nie Yan with a wave of his staff .

Howling Froststorm!

An enormous ice sphere rotated in the air, then exploded into a wave of ice spikes .

Just as Nie Yan was about to be turned into swiss cheese, he activated Shadow Waltz and transformed into a blur . With a shattering sound, the ice spikes that struck him were blocked by his brief moment of invincibility .

Shadow Clone!

Nie Yan’s body suddenly split into two as an identical clone of him emerged . After which the two immediately dashed toward Magister Lefis, pincering him .

This development caught Magister Lefis off guard . He couldn’t tell real from fake . Waving his staff, he prepared to launch a spell to instantly kill one of them .

Lockdown!

Magister Lefis’ body froze as his spell was interrupted . Nie Yan pounced forward and stabbed down at his forehead . Meanwhile, the other Nie Yan appeared behind Magister Lefis and stabbed toward the back of his head .

A flawless pincer attack . Magister Lefis couldn’t possibly dodge it!

Magister Lefis could already feel the scorching heat from Zennarde’s Swords devilish flames . Just as he was about to be struck, he waved his staff .

Ice Barrier!

A thick layer of ice immediately formed around Magister Lefis, protecting him inside .

KLANG! KLANG! The attacks from both Nie Yan and the shadow clone were blocked .

At this moment, Magister Lefis dissolved the ice barrier and waved his staff .

Ice Nova!

A wave of frost immediately swept out from Magister Lefis .

Everything happened too quickly . Nie Yan and the shadow clone had no way to retreat in time . As the wave of frost came sweeping over, Nie Yan felt the air around him freeze over as his body turned somewhat rigid .
