Chapter 54 - Out From The Shadows

"Argh!" The necromancy was flung backwards, hitting the huge towering tree with great force.

The fight had went on for a pathetic 5 minutes, whereby the human faction members lose one member, while the undead faction only had the necromancer left standing.

The fight was not even close, to which Sato felt dissapointed with the outcome. The fight was far too one sided, making it impossible to assassinate the humans. Even though there were 4 players that were relatively low, there were the 5 that had 90% health remaining.

"Hahaha! That fight put up by you three is far too pathetic!" The leader gloated at the necromancer that laid by the tree helplessly. The leader places a hand on his face, covering his eyes as an act of embarrassment. "It pains me to see how you thought so highly of yourself."

The necromancer gritted his teeth as he looked back at the cocky human warrior. His eyes filled with hatred, his heart boiling and steaming in rage. Placing his hand in robe, he retrives a red vial that had an ominous vibe surrounding it.

"I wasn't planning to use this, but seeing how you acted, you shall go to hell with me!" The necromancer swiftly gulped down the vial and within seconds, his eyes turned red, followed by his entire body.

"Rarrrgggggghhh!" The red undead mage looked at his enemies, charging straight at them.

The human faction wanted to run away, however the Blood Domain prevented them. As the necromancer reached the center, he convoluted, his whole body was compressed and twisted. The heart of the necromancer started to glow bright red as it shone immensely.

"BOOM!!!" The necromancer had self destructed, resulting in a catastrophic explosion.

Surprisingly enough, the remaining players had all survived. The players that had more health, stood in front and activated their life saving abilities for those that were in critical condition. This showed how well coordinated the team of 10 was.

"Shit. That attack caught me off guard." The leader did not expect the necromancer to have such a destructive item at his disposal. It was a double-edged sword.

*Blood Of Yaruk

The blood of the lord of Necromancer, Yaruk is extremely reactive. At the expense of a player's life, it will result in an explosion radius of 10 meters. Deal 2000 damage to everyone in explosion.

When the user dies, penalty of - 2 levels, permanently lose 5 stat points for all attributes.

The blood of Yaruk was a rare consumable potion. As a result, it had caught him off guard.

Just as the group of players were about to recover themselves, a player came out from the shadows, positioning himself behind their leader. The player was none other than Sato.

Dagger throw, the health of the already low leader was cut down till he was in critical condition. Sato immediately used assassinate, killing off the leader before he could even make a sound. By the time one of the subordinates turn to look at his leader, Sato had leaped towards him and used Assasinate once again.

"You have leveled up. You have leveled up."

This time, unfortunately, the death of the player had made too much of a scuffle. The low health players realised that there was an assassin in their midst.

"Gather up, quickly!" The remaining six stood back to back as they braced themselves for the enemy. Even though the blood realm had disappeared, they do not dare to escape as that would be exposing their backs to the assassin.

Unfortunately, they did not know that they were up against an Elven Assassin, a higher and stronger class. Whitie uses Wind's Wrath, slicing the air with it's claws. The original closely packed team was separated by the sudden attack of Whitie, spliting them up by several meters apart.

Taking the opportunity into his own hands, Sato immediately used Blink that was off cooldown reaching behind the priest on their team. A simple Assasinate instantly ended his life as he prevented any healing from happening.

"You have leveled up."

"You have learnt Knee Strike."

*Knee Strike - Knees the enemy, stunning them for 1-3 seconds (depending on how long the player is). Deal 100% physical damage.

"Who are you?" One of the remaining players asked out as he trembled with a sword in his hand. He had never seen an Assassin that was able to finish off someone at 20% health.

Sato remained quiet as he immediately ran up to challenge the swordsman. The warrior had managed to recover himself to 40% health and so Sato would require to brawl a little with him.

Gripping his Dreadful Daggers tightly, Sato ran forwards, eyes starring down on the warrior. He looked intimidating. Even though Sato leveled up 3 times after killing 3 enemies, he didn't have time to allocate his attributes points. Sato's agility was extremely high that it caught the warrior off guard. Swinging his sword downwards from above, the warrior roared with determination.

"Ugh!" Knee Strike, Sato lands a strong blow on the warrior's tummy, making him winded. The stun lasted for 3 whole seconds due to the warrior's low health. Sato hopped over him lightly, making use of backstab to lower his health.

"Shwuang!" Just as he recovered from the strike, the sword of warrior sliced through the air diagonally, attempting to chunk the low-level assassin down. Sato noticed the incoming attack. Using his fast reaction time and high agility, he bent backward, barely enough to avoid the whole blow. Unluckily, it wasn't enough. The enemy kicked Sato backward, pushing Sato away from himself.

By now, the whole fight had gone on for a minute. The human faction group had managed to regroup together again. Most of them have recovered their health to a safe level. In addition, the Blood Realm was removed and their fight had attracted some onlooker's attention. Sato decided that he should make a tactical retreat, even though he had plenty of health.

"Thump..." The ground shook slightly. Sato felt cold sweat form on his back. A strong force suddenly crushed on the shoulders of the young assassin. His knees bent slightly as if the gravity around him increased by tenfold. What was causing this?
