Chapter 114 – Thief, Lucy


Front wolves, back tigers.

The mysterious figure in the black cloak was instantly caught in a dilemma.

In the end, he chose to target the relatively less troublesome Infinity Phantom.

Whoosh!

His figure moved like a shadow, attacking Infinity Phantom.

Seeing this, a cold glint of killing intent flashed in Infinity Phantom’s eyes beneath his black mask. “A foolish choice.”

He raised the sharp dagger in his hand.

At that moment, the black cloak circled around Infinity Phantom a few times, doing something unknown.

But in Infinity Phantom’s eyes, the opponent was just a clown.

“No one can survive the blood-shadow blade of the Phantom Guild Leader!”

“Unless… the Phantom Guild Leader loses his blade?!”

The professionals of the Infinity Guild were all stunned.

Even Infinity Phantom looked at his empty hands in shock. “Where’s my blade?”

As soon as he spoke, the black cloak flashed past Infinity Phantom, and beneath the cloak, a pair of slightly inexperienced eyes were filled with provocation. “Bye-bye!”

Without a weapon, Infinity Phantom couldn’t use any of his main attack skills and could only watch as the black cloak slipped away right under his nose.

Wu Haotian, who was in the middle of a fight, saw this and exclaimed, “What skill is that, stealing?”

Lin Tian said, “That guy is an Elite Grade professional, a thief!”

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue disappeared from his original spot in a flash.

In an instant, he appeared in front of the black cloak.

“I knew you were the most troublesome one!” The black cloak couldn’t help but complain to Zhang Yue, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want me? Now you’re chasing me, what do you want?”

The voice under the cloak was actually a woman’s!

Her words, combined with her level just reaching 30, made Zhang Yue think of someone. “Are you that non-mainstream girl called… Girl and Cat?”

“I’m not non-mainstream!” The black cloak retorted angrily. “Nowadays, even picking up some trash gets you blocked. Fine, I’ll give you half, no more!”

At this moment, Zhang Yue offered an enticing condition. “Help me with something, and all these things will be yours.”

The black cloak’s eyes lit up immediately. “What do you need?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Yue suddenly charged at her at an incredible speed!

Just as the black cloak thought he was going to kill her and take her stuff, she closed her eyes, waiting for death.

With a crisp “clang,” Zhang Yue appeared beside her, using his staff to block an attack from Infinity Phantom!

The black cloak finally understood: Zhang Yue had saved her!

“Close combat is a mage’s fatal weakness,” Infinity Phantom said confidently, thinking he had Zhang Yue cornered.

Zhang Yue replied nonchalantly, “Have you ever seen a battle mage?”

“What?”

As he spoke, Zhang Yue released the S-rank Skyfire Blaze at close range, which Infinity Phantom dodged swiftly.

Using the [Shadow] ability of his Shadow Cloak, Zhang Yue became immune to Infinity Phantom’s lethal counterattacks.

Listening for the sound.

Thunderous Might!

Divine Fire Catastrophe!

Frozen Wasteland!

Each of Zhang Yue’s predictive attacks was narrowly dodged by Infinity Phantom with lightning speed and extraordinary reflexes!

Swish!

From behind Zhang Yue, Infinity Phantom leaped with his dagger, aiming to strike.

Roar!

Scorching dragon flames descended from the sky, forcing Infinity Phantom back.

The imposing Apocalyptic Black Dragon stood behind its master, roaring furiously at the surrounding enemies.

The professionals of the Infinity Guild retreated in all directions.

Even Infinity Phantom felt a strong sense of intimidation!

Infinity Phantom had never taken more than three seconds to kill someone.

He knew he had met his match this time!

The map’s debuff failed to work, and the Infinity Guild, facing both the three major guilds and Zhang Yue, was gradually falling behind.

To prevent further casualties, Infinity Phantom had no choice but to retreat.

However, the grudge between him and Zhang Yue was now set.

“My Infinity Guild is backed by the Tian Family, the largest family in Tianjing! Kid, you’re digging your own grave.”

Zhang Yue replied calmly, “What, can’t win and now you need help?”

“You’ll pay for your arrogance.”

With that, Infinity Phantom led his guild members into the darkness.

At this moment, Liu Yao, Su Jinyan, and Wu Haotian surrounded the black cloak.

“Quite the appetite, huh? Eating from four families all by yourself?”

“Got a lot of good stuff in your bag?”

The black cloak hid behind Zhang Yue, nervously saying, “You said you’d protect me!”

“Spit out the stuff from the other three families, the rest is yours,” Zhang Yue said to the black cloak.

“Fine~” The black cloak, though reluctant, complied with Zhang Yue’s demand.

Afterward, she asked, “What do you need me to do?”

Zhang Yue didn’t answer her question but led her away from the Ratmen Tribe.

Heading in an unknown direction, Wu Haotian couldn’t help but feel curious.

He glanced at the black cloak, who looked similar to Ning Tiantian, and said, “She looks like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. What can she help us with?”

“And is this task worth more than the equipment dropped by the Infinity Guild members? Those are all gold-tier items, worth at least twenty to thirty thousand each on the market.”

Zhang Yue looked at Wu Haotian and said, “Compared to the value she can bring us, those gold-tier items are nothing.”

“Goodness!”

Zhang Yue’s straightforward answer made even Wu Haotian look forward to what was coming next!

Soon, they arrived at a familiar place… the Gate of Hell!

Wu Haotian was incredulous. “You don’t mean to have her help us open the Gate of Hell, do you?”

The black cloak, knowledgeable about computers and the internet, had naturally heard of the Gate of Hell.

She hurriedly said, “I can’t beat that Hell Envoy!”

Zhang Yue glanced at the black cloak, whose face was still somewhat delicate, and asked, “Can you steal things?”

“Yes.”

“Then that’s enough.” Zhang Yue pointed to the Hell Envoy Biggs, who was guarding the Gate of Hell, and the crystal magic box under his left foot. “Steal that magic box, and I’ll handle the rest.”

“Using a thief’s stealing skill to take the Hell Envoy’s magic box, then taking the opportunity to kill the Hell Envoy,” Lin Tian said, tapping his glasses thoughtfully. “It’s indeed a feasible plan!”

Hearing this, the thief girl with the ID [Lucy] turned to run.

But Wu Haotian caught her. “Why are you running?”

“The Hell Envoy hasn’t been defeated in a hundred years, and you want me to steal from it? That’s a death sentence! I won’t do it! Not even if you kill me!”

“We can’t beat it because its magic box has too many abilities. So if you steal the magic box, it’ll be easier for us to deal with it!”

At this moment, Zhang Yue offered Lucy an enticing condition. “Don’t you want to join my Temple of Destiny? Help me with this, and you’re in. A guaranteed monthly salary of fifty thousand, plus commissions.”

Wu Haotian winked at Lucy. “A Rare Grade professional Flame Knight will personally help you level up!”

Lucy’s true identity was just an indoor girl with no real source of income, living off scraps from the Otherworld. How could she resist such temptation?

She immediately agreed. “Okay!”

“But my stealing skill can only be used once every minute and lasts only ten seconds each time. You guys time it yourselves!”

“And I don’t know if it will work on a boss!”

With that, Lucy gripped her dagger tightly and approached the Hell Envoy Biggs guarding the Gate of Hell.

“Intruders at the Gate of Hell, die!”

With a roar, the magic box under the Hell Envoy’s foot began to change.

Lucy immediately used her stealing skill.

The next second.

Whoosh!

The magic box under the Hell Envoy’s foot disappeared!

Success!

Facing the Hell Envoy without his magic box, Lin Tian and Wu Haotian revealed their true forms.

“Now, it’s our turn!”
