"Good job! Youre a master thief!"

  Thief, an advanced profession that has enhanced stealing, opening treasure chests and escaping skills, but at the cost of being extremely weak in combat. This is another branch of the vagabonds advancement. Maybe this bastards level is higher than Ravens, and if they really fight, who knows who will be afraid of whom.

  He also dared to launch only one round of attack and immediately retreated if he failed.

  But thats what makes this thief a real expert. Clearly knows the advantages of his profession, understands where his weaknesses lie. Sets primary and secondary targets before making a move, once the main target is achieved, if the secondary target is difficult, then decisively give up.

  Only such an enemy would make Raven look up to him.

  Of course, if there wasnt a follow-up hype, Raven wouldnt be so popular either.

  The sound of that beasts triumphant laughter echoed from afar.

  "Hahaha! This obsidian dagger is something Ive been eyeing for a long time, and its a waste to use it on trash like you. Oh, and the bounty? Ill gladly take that too. Want revenge? You can try finding me first. Hahahahaha!"

  After Le Wens body fell down and took a look, those few pieces of bloody tattooed human skin were gone.

  Should I say its really worthy of being called a master thief?

  I remember now, this guy must be the first person to get Black Onyx in his past life. I didnt expect that when he saw his own boss die, instead of thinking about revenge, he thought about taking his bosss skin to collect the bounty.

  What a heartless person!

  Leiwen didnt rush to chase, only a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: Originally, he was thinking about how to leave the tunnel from the Golden City side, but now it seems unnecessary... Your biggest mistake is bringing those things through the Strangling Demons guarded area!

  Raven waited for about half a minute before catching up.

  As Raven approached the stairs, he heard intense fighting sounds coming from above.

  "Bastard! I clearly have a permit! Why are you attacking me?!"

  Hearing the whistling sound of the hangmans noose flying, Raven no longer hesitated and quietly made his way out of the cave.

  The situation outside is wonderful, the Strangling Demon Statue is closing in for the kill. To say that the demon statue with a certain level of intelligence performed exceptionally well in battle would be an understatement. Realizing the high agility of the God Thief, after the ambush failed, the Strangling Demon Statue decisively used its rope to seal off the entire room, not just the doors and windows and tunnel entrances, but even the walls had a net of ropes.

  Unless the thief has the legendary shrinking bone technique, he absolutely had no chance of escape before defeating the Strangling Demon Statue.

  Dont be fooled by the fact that hes being chased and killed by the devils rope, seemingly at a disadvantage. Judging from his intact clothes, the devil hasnt hit him even once. Relying on his superhuman agility, he dodged the fatal attacks time and again like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower.

  He also realized that sharp objects like daggers could not harm the Strangling Demon, so he decisively pulled out a few Alchemical Fires and hurled them at the demon.

  Alchemists Fire is an alchemical item, similar to a firebomb. Each shot deals 8-24 points of damage to human-sized foes, and as a large volume construct, the golem takes double damage due to its massive size.

  The huge magic image suddenly became a giant bonfire.

  If Mr. God of Thieves has enough alchemy fire, its not impossible to get rid of the Hanging Murderous Image.

  Suddenly, the white energy cluster on the eyes of the Strangling Demon Statue burst out with a dazzling light, "Dangdangdang!" A series of crisp sounds rang out as more than ten 7-8 meter long ropes shot out from the statues massive body and began to rotate at high speed.

  Levin recognized this as Strangulation Demons signature skill - Rope Tornado!

  The hapless thief was already struggling to dodge the demons normal attacks, and now he was caught off guard by the whirlwind of ropes.

  Originally, thieves would master [Intuitive Dodge] earlier than assassins. With this, Mr. Thief isnt unable to dodge completely either.

  This time, Mr. Thief performed far beyond his level. After an extremely irregular triple twist of his body, it was predictable that he would completely dodge the rope storms attack in one-tenth of a second.

  "Haha!" A cold laugh suddenly came from the entrance of the tunnel.

  A former god-level killer had a vicious hobby: it was when others were about to succeed, and their hearts were filled with joy, he would kick them from the clouds of happiness straight into hell.

  At this most critical moment, the four flying knives that suddenly appeared sealed off his only three possible dodging directions. Seeing the flying knives he had thrown out being turned back at him by Raven, the thiefs lungs almost burst with rage.

  "Bastard—"

  The thiefs immunity to poison is not as high as the assassins. Is it a rope swing or a poisonous flying knife, its like a little brother being bitten by a venomous snake, whether to choose to cut off his brother to save himself or keep his brother and leave himself with a complete corpse... No matter which one is chosen, it will be a painful choice.

  The thief made a decision with sorrow and despair...

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A few muffled sounds, the thiefs ribs were broken and he was blown away like a cannonball, flying straight into the giant net of ropes woven by the Strangling Devil at the window.

  The next moment he was caught by the hanging devil. Countless rope snakes wrapped around his body, and in less than a second, he became a big rice dumpling, leaving only his head exposed.

  The demon statue did not immediately kill the thief, but instead tilted its head towards the tunnel entrance.

  The thief immediately realized that his only chance to save his life was with Raven, because he didnt expect himself to persuade a hangman like: "Save me! Im willing to trade my life for a huge secret!"

  Rivens left hand grasped the rope netting at the entrance of the cave, symbolizing that he was putting his life in the hands of the hangman. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the god thief who was only bound by the hangman, shouting in Nalras language: "He is a traitor! He killed your master Ludi and Fakalin sacrifice! I will interrogate him one last time before killing him!"

  With the trust foundation from last time, plus the items with the previous owners vengeful spirit all on the thief, the Strangler seems to choose to believe Raven.

  A rope in the void twisted out the Narsil script: "You have five minutes." After that, the rope net that sealed the cave entrance opened, and Raven stepped out of the cave with dignity.

  The thief was shocked, he really hadnt expected Raven to be able to control the Stranglethorn. He didnt understand Nerashs language, and in his eyes, his own life and death were already completely in Ravens hands.

  "Your Honor... I was wrong, I apologize."

  "Cut the crap, Ill take every word you say as your last words or your ransom."

  Lewin was being secretly observed by the Phantom Thief for a long time while he was working as a miner in the tunnel, and he knew that this young man in front of him was absolutely the most outstanding genius assassin among all the assassins he had ever seen.

  "I can tell you a great secret, but as the price, I need you to swear an oath to Hircine, the God of the Hunt. You have to promise that after you know this secret, you and the Dark Brotherhood will let me go, and wont hunt me down today. Oh, and also dont hurt my legs."

  Lei Wen heard this and suddenly sneered in his heart: "That also depends on whether your secret is worth the price. And if its not useful, it doesnt count."

  "No, no, no, I swear, you absolutely need this secret. Its a secret about shadow energy, havent resonated with it yet?"

  "Ah, right, I just got resonance." Resonance is a native term equivalent to the player receiving an activation of Shadow Energy.

  "Then...are you interested in this secret of mine?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Take an oath first!"

  Lei Wen was disdainful of the thiefs request, but on the surface he still pretended to follow the thiefs wishes and made an oath.

  Levin finished his vow, and the thief also let out a sigh of relief. As the guardian deity of all assassins and murderers, Shrieks frequency of descending oracles was quite high. If Shriek discovered that one of his followers had violated an oath sworn in his name, that follower would absolutely end up in a miserable state.

  "Although the total amount of shadow energy for each wandering professional largely depends on their innate talent, there are still nuances to consider when activating it. Arbitrarily finding a dark corner to activate ones shadow energy is the most inferior approach." The thief stared intently at Ravens face, fearing that his message would not be accepted.

  Levin coldly reminded him: "I know where the entrance to the Shadow Plane and the Prime Material Plane is connected. Or Ill find the Shadow Temple to help me baptize."

  "Ah, thats a mediocre technique." The thief couldnt help but interrupt Raven.

  Levin didnt mind, nodding to indicate that he should continue, the thief quietly took a deep breath: "The most ideal way is to temporarily turn your entire body into a shadow, and then directly activate your own shadow energy on the shadow surface."

  "Youre now playing with your own life!" To know that even a formal Golden Ranks spiritual elementization wouldnt exceed 50%, a Black Iron Rank assassin fully shadowing his body, the outcome is absolutely death beyond death.

  "No, no, no! Am I joking?" The thief said hastily: "There is a treasure that can be done! Absolutely no aftereffect! 220 kilometers south of Shale City next to it, there is a mountain valley that is always shrouded in shadow, my teacher privately calls it Shadow Valley. There is not only a seam connecting the shadow plane, but also a shadow pearl of at least gold grade in the center of the valley!"

  Raven knew that thing could greatly increase the Shadow Energy of a wanderer. In his previous life, Raven had obtained a fingernail-sized one, which increased it by 30 points, enough for two instant moves to the opponents back for a shadow assassination. This was just a Bronze-grade Shadow Pearl.

  How powerful is the Shadow Pearl of the Golden Throne!?!
