My brows furrowed but I had no time because Ghost used shadowstep and appeared behind me. I quickly used gale steps and used the force from the hit to create some space.
"He's even stronger?" I say to myself when looking at him. I wanted to escape but if I turned around, He would definitely reap my life like wheat. I could only fight him. After thinking this, I activated my trump card.
[Rage of Sylvan]
Boosts attributes of player by 125% Movement speed increased by 50%
Ignores Crowd Control and every status effect besides bleed. After duration is over, player will be in a weakened state for 1 hour, if used with another buff, it becomes 3 hours and if used with a third, it becomes 9 hours. Duration: 2 minutes. Cooldown: 1 day
It was the only way I could be on par.
My eyes started to glow a deep shade of scarlet and my body felt like there was endless power inside of it. My HP rose past 1600. My could feel my awareness becoming better. I could feel the slightest change in the air when Ghost breathed. It was now or never.
"Hmm?" Ghost raised his eyebrows. When he felt the change in my aura. But when he saw the color of my eyes change, His expression froze. It quickly morphed into fear.
"The Mask of Sylvan? Impossible! That mask shouldn't be here. It was supposed to be destroyed in the battle of gods and demons."
Looking at him closely, ever since I activated Rage of Sylvan, his face turned pale and he appeared to be frightened. What it was, this was my only chance.
I took advantage of the opening he left for me and used instant strike to appear in front of him in a flash.
Temple Strike, 99% Completion rate
-195
I stunned him for 3.5 seconds and proceded to launch a barrage of skills.
Backstab, Slash...
-315
-305
Ghost realized he was in trouble and used a skill to get rid of the stun then he used gale steps to escape. I spread my senses out to their maximum and searched for any trace of him.
He then used Shade steps to appear from my shadow but I was prepared. I used my off hand to to block his dagger and use my elbow to hit him with another stun.
Kidney Shot, 4 second stun.
-260
I then deliver a kick to his stomach and send him stumbling backwards.
-400, critical hit.
Before he could recover, I was infront of him and delivered the final blow.
Cutthroat, 101% skill completion
-1000
Ghost dropped onto his knees, and stared at me maliciously. "Hehe, *cough* You own the Mask of Sylvan? *gurgle* The leader of the Evil Faction... will hunt you to the ends of the earth..." Then he fell to the ground never to speak again

The streamchat:
CrazyMage: ...
Phoenix Wing: ... She actually pulled it off...
JayThePvPGod: ... What kind of berserk skill did you just use? Your attributes rose to a whole new level.
...
I picked up the Loot from the ground and then a portal opens up behind me. By now the berserk skill has worn off and I am in my weakened state. My HP is critically low. Even though I am as frail as a dead leaf, I turn around around and prepare for another battle. But when I see who came out of the portal, I completely relax.
"Teacher..." I limp over to her and say "I killed him, we need to go."
Ivy looked at me in surprise then looked at the corpse. Her eyes flared in shock. "King of the Shadows... You killed Ghost? Hold on, theres no time, lets get you out of here first." After getting a shock, she runs over to me and gives me an arm helps me through the portal.

After reading all of the system prompts. My blood was still boiling from that battle. I close my eyes and analyze it in my mind and try to remember the attack angles Ghost used.
"I need more battles like this."
The stream chat:
CrazyMage: I think I should take crazy out of my name. I don't think I can hold the title anymore.
Phoenix Wing: What a maniac. She is more of a maniac than that boss she just faced.
President Blackburn: The Bodyguard deal is still on if you need a job.
JayThePvPGod: Master, here is your tea.
ILikeKats: Master Luna, take me in as a disciple.
Phoenix Wing: I will pay 50 million for you to join my guild and be the leader of the Esports Team. Another 20 million for you to be a coach and teach the other thieves in the guild.
Emotionless: Striking while the iron is hot. Well, Guild Leader Phoenix Wing, I will pay 100 million to for her to join my guild.
...
A few more big guilds other than Empirian Phoenix and Endless Scars (The Guild that Emotionless created) tried to poach me but I ignored them as I finally got of the Time Space.
Ivy sat me down in a chair and pulled a chair over to sit in front of me. She sighed before saying, "The Evil Faction is already beginning to make moves across the continent. You will need to be very careful during this time. I have something for you that might of use." She walks to a wardrobe and opens it. She bends down and pull a case out and brings it to a table. She opens the case and pulls a cloak out and hands it to me.
[Shadow Cloak]
Passive Ability:
[Face Change]
Makes NPC's unable to see your real face and Identity. Works on beings within a 3 tier limit.
I immediately equipped it.
"Even with this cloak, be very careful when adventuring outside. Alright, since problems arose on my side and you solved it, this means you have passed my Trial's. You are now my pupil."
[System] Ivy Rose is now your Mentor.
Ivy holds out her hand and an orb of light appears in it. It was very bright but it wasn't uncomfortable for me to look at. In fact, it was very comfortable to be around. My weakened state was immediately cured.
[System] You have recieved the inheritance of the Luminous Dancer. Do you want to follow the path of the light inside of the shadows?
[Yes] [No]
The stream chat:
Phoenix Wing: Wait... This was a class change quest as well? President Blackburn, We need to talk. I thought you couldn't become T1 until level 25.
President Blackburn: At most times, this is indeed the case. But what if I told you that this game has more secrets hidden in plain sight than you can imagine.
...
I felt the power from the orb and it was very gentle in nature. I felt that it was calling my name, asking if I wanted wield the power of... the holy light?
I decided at this moment.
[Yes]
As soon as I pressed yes, the light rose from her hand and flew into my eyebrows. It felt like I was in a hot spring. My senses felt like they were on overdrive. I could feel the power coursing throughout my body. After about 30 seconds the power stabilized and I took the time to observe the changes.
I first checked my stats page.

"All right, I'm gonna call it a night. Thank you so much for tuning in. I am dead tired. Good Night." After I turned off the stream, The majority of people left but a few passionate viewers were still in stream chat, having a discussion.
In the stream chat:
DomTheGuru: Watching this stream, made me want to play even more. Can't wait to jump in.
JayThePvPGod: That boss was insane.

After logging out of the game, I jumped out of the cabin then I unzipped the bodysuit and took it off before going straight to my bed and falling asleep.
