Quest: Escort of supplies (7)
"How long will it take you to reach my level?" Snow Queen asked when using the whisper.
"I don't know. Maybe six months. I have things to do and I'm not always leveling up." Wang Cai understands the reason for the question, but he doesn't have much time to fight another player.
Though he knew it would increase the chances of getting her to join him.
"But if you want a fight, we can have one now," he continued.
The sun started to set on the horizon and Wang Cai's figure disappeared completely.
"Shadow Step…" He spoke slowly after using Stealth.
"I accept the challenge" Snow Queen felt that this fight was worth it as she was much stronger than he was, but he had much more skill than she.
Even without being an assassin class player, Wang Cai knew a lot about this class.
Each class had a certain type of attack pattern, which was easily recognized by any high-level player.
Wang Cai's class had not yet been discovered nor led by players. So he had to choose one to use.
But why didn't he choose his first-class like in his previous life?
The answer is simple.
In his previous life, Wang Cai didn't know very well about class and subclass combinations, so he chose whatever suited him and went on his journey.
After discovering the Astral Gladiator class, he had a new insight into classes. And how the combination was very important.
This time, he would make the best combination possible to become the strongest Astral Gladiator in the game.
It was not necessary to choose the Rogue class as the first as there were others he knew with better skills to match, but he preferred this one because of a single skill.
The Fatal Strike skill.
This skill had great use at higher levels. Only a small number of hidden rare classes had this skill.
The others that Wang Cai knew were of other races and lived on other continents.
So it was better to choose the Rogue class to start with.
slash!!! slash!!!
clang!!! clang!!! clang!!!
The two quickly clash again when using only common attacks, but something strange is happening.
Wang Cai seemed to be moving like a shadow under the darkness of the night.
The surrounding mountains have created many shadows that cover many areas.
The power of the Shadow Step skill has finally been revealed.
Movement speed has become much faster than before.
Snow Queen couldn't even keep up with the speed, even though she had twice the points in the AGI attribute.
The skill has changed a lot.
Unfortunately, it was just movement speed.
Wang Cai was quick to move but to attack, he was a bit slower than Snow Queen.
Thus, she also increased the speed of her attacks, while Wang Cai increased her movement speed.
One dodged at great speed while the other attacked at great speed.
"Shadow Step"
"Stealth" The two disappeared again.
But this time, Wang Cai's footsteps became much lighter than the other times.
"..." Snow Queen felt this differently and showed a serious face. She was quick to attack and react, but on the other side, she could be faster because she could run.
Using the Stealth skill to hide, she also walked sideways in an attempt to find Wang Cai's whereabouts.
Although it was almost impossible to notice, another assassin could see small flaws in the Stealth skill.
Things like footsteps, light footsteps, blurs, shadows under light, and other things.
But the situation was very different from normal.
Snow Queen considered herself an expert with the assassin class, but she couldn't see flaws in Wang Cai's skill.
What was happening?
"!!!!!! Suddenly, she felt great danger behind her. Her reaction was quick and she cut back, revealing her figure, but there was no one behind her.
(Was I wrong?) Something wasn't right. She was sure someone was after her.
slash!!!
This time, a cut hit her in the back.
A large red number appeared above his head.
-1452
-2
-2
-2
Soon after, a lot of numbers start to go up.
That was the effect of the bleeding.
"!!!!!!" Snow Queen couldn't believe what just happened. She was hit by someone using the Stealth skill.
(How is that possible???!!! I couldn't even sense his intention to attack!!!!) Her mind was a big mess.
The figure of Wang Cai appeared before her.
A casual look was on his face.
"What did you think?" he asked using a whisper.
"Who are you? I've never heard of an assassin player like you. Even though you're not an assassin, you're better than anyone I've ever encountered."
"My name is Bamboo Stick, a casual gamer. It's a pleasure to meet you"
"…" She didn't comment on those words.
"If you want to learn more about the art of being an assassin, I can give you some tips."
"Aren't you afraid that I might get better than you?"
"Why would I be afraid?"
"..." She couldn't find an answer to that question.
Wang Cai already made it clear that he was not an assassin, so he would not compete with her.
"I will not ask for your advice. I will grow stronger on my own and will be waiting for you six months from now for another duel." She spoke solemnly.
Taking his advice was like admitting inferiority, but she wouldn't do that.
Her pride wouldn't allow it.
"You are welcome to try" Wang Cai casually replied without fear, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.
His objective has been achieved.
"Let's go. I lost that duel" Snow Queen called them away.
The group just left with her.
Sometime later…
"You are amazing!!!! How did you manage to defeat that woman? She looked pretty strong." Bulldog praised him excitedly. He finally realized how skilled Wang Cai is.
"What is your name? Could you tell us?" Cobra wanted to know his name to see if he was known.
"You don't need to know my name because it's going to be a little troublesome. The best we can do is continue our journey to the village. Just a little more." Wang Cai really didn't want to say the name because it would attract too much trouble.
Especially with members on the other side.
Some of them were killed more than once by Wang Cai, so it was normal for them to want revenge.
"It's all right." Without losing heart, the group finally walked the last few meters towards the village.
During this trek, they defeated several Mountain Bandits, some even leveled a level.
