Chapter 5: The Rebirth of an Assassin

  How much time has passed?

  Levin didnt know, his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, and his body had long been numb due to the intense pain.

  Its not easy to travel through time once, and there are many things I want to do, like igniting my own divine fire with my own hands in this life and achieving divinity. Of course, what I most want to do is whip that son of a bitch, the god of assassination, Shriek, a million times.

  Unfortunately, if I were to hang around here, everything would be in vain.

  Even if he hadnt tried it before, Raven knew that in this world there was no such thing as resurrection. The God of Death would not let go of any soul that fell into his hands.

  "Thud, thud, thud, thud..." From vague to clear, footsteps came from afar.

  Before long, the sound of placing glassware on the small table outside the air window rang out.

  Levin knew this was the holy water of life he had been dreaming of.

  Looking through the skylight into the past, that lush green full of vitality is so clear even in a blurry field of vision.

  Levin vowed that he would remember this color for the rest of his life.

  Time was running out, Raven gritted his teeth and waited for the servants departure.

  It was a relief when the man finally left, and Raven used his last ounce of strength to grip the railing on the airlock window tightly, stretching out his trembling arm greedily...

  The holy water is in hand!

  The holy water of life, Ive drunk it countless times in the game, but never once have I yearned for it like this time.

  That sweet and pure beauty, that fragrance like fresh grass, kept stimulating Ravens taste buds...

  Wow! Ive hit the jackpot! This is the No. 5 Holy Water!

  This thing is still very useful even if its used until level 60 or higher in the gold tier!

  Levin sucked in big mouthfuls, just like a newborn baby sucking on its mothers milk.

  Unable to confirm whether the other bottles were also No. 5, Raven decided to split it in half. Half a bottle of holy water down the hatch, Raven immediately gave the remaining half bottle mouth-to-mouth to the unconscious Carlin.

  Before long, the first bottle was empty.

  Raven stretched out his hand to take the second bottle of holy water. This one was also No. 5... After thinking for a moment, Raven drank one-third of it, fed another third to Carlin, and finally applied the remaining holy water to Carlins face. In no time at all, he could clearly see that Carlins eyeball, which had been destroyed by that guy, was rapidly regenerating.

  It wasnt just Karin, his abdomen was also violently squirming, the divine power of the Goddess of Life was recklessly driving out the acidic liquid that had invaded his body, and his corrupted internal organs were regenerating to their original state, and his blurry field of vision was clearing up again.

  At the same time, Raven can clearly feel a stench similar to rotting vegetables gushing out from the wound.

  Out of instinct as a top-notch assassin, Raven immediately used the glass bottle that had previously held holy water to block the wound and catch the acidic liquid. As an assassin, poison-making was a required course. For now, he hadnt thought of what to do with this acid, but it would surely come in handy someday.

  Leiwen felt the changes within his body while keeping an eye on the bottle with his peripheral vision. As the holy waters power completely neutralized the damage from 【Corrosion Fang】, even restoring his health to full, the acid had also finished filling up.

  "Ding!" The familiar and lovely system prompt sound appeared beside her ear, as if it was an auditory hallucination.

  "You successfully dispelled the Corroding Fang of the Dark Devourer!"

  "You have obtained information about your personal specialty: Weak Acid Resistance!"

  "You discovered a special scene - Luxury Gift from the Goddess of Wealth, and obtained 300 universal experience points."

  "You have been reborn in darkness and gained knowledge about Shadow Energy Slots."

  Raven immediately added all the universal experience to the civilian, making Raven a 10th-level civilian with a maximum life of 27.

  Then comes Shadow Energy.

  Shadow energy is the true entry point for all rogue classes, and no matter how many skills youve learned before, theyre just ordinary human things. Skills like Shadow Strike, which allow you to teleport behind an enemy through shadows and stab them in the back, can only be used with shadow energy.

  In the past, Raven had to grind all the way to level 12 as a wanderer before being locked up in the dark water prison for committing a crime. It was there, in the darkness without a glimmer of light, that she received the prompt to unlock her shadow energy slot. In theory, as long as her shadow energy was sufficient, all related skills could be used without restriction.

  Mentioning Shadow Energy cant avoid Ravens former boss, the Murder and Death God, Hircine. According to the games plot progression, in another year, Hircine will snatch the divine position of 【Shadow】 from the Thief God.

  The divine office is the scope of the gods jurisdiction.

  In the game, the most convenient and practical way to activate Shadow Energy is to find a place to perceive the existence of Shadow Energy, then go to the Temple of the Thief God to worship the Thief God, which can obtain skills related to Shadow Energy.

  Raven doesnt want to do this now. Because the consequence of doing so is that all shadow skills Raven gets are simplified by the Shadow God job. This means that if he ever opposes Sheryl, who has obtained the Shadow God job, he wont be able to use any shadow skills again.

  Think about it, the skill is Shreks, and the shadow energy required to use the skill is also Shreks. Would he be so stupid as to let you use his own power to beat him up?

  So theres only one option left: to abandon the Thief God and master the use of Shadow Energy on his own from the Shadow Plane.

  Only by doing so can we maximize the use of shadow energy to counter Shrek.

  Of course, it would be even better if Shrek couldnt get the position of Shadow God in this world.

  If possible, Raven didnt want to target Shrek like this either. Unfortunately, as a player, theres nothing more disgusting than having a trashy background boss.

  Shrek is a madman, biting whoever he sees, claiming to be the only supreme god. Although he is very strong, he is far from worthy of the title "supreme". He is almost at odds with all the gods and has never had an ally. Even if he briefly had teammates, his ultimate mission was to betray them.

  What is most unbearable is his madness and paranoia: he sometimes even gives completely contradictory oracles to his own priests, causing them to murder each other.

  Levin served as his top fighter, all the way up to the strong in the Sanctuary, even if he handed over all the divinity and godhead he had gathered, he still fell because of this crazy bosss betrayal.

  To know, both divinity and deity are super good things.

  Divinity is to some extent the unique quality of God, for God, divinity relates to a gods character, beliefs, code of conduct, and mysterious energy of camp bias. Mortals can acquire superhuman abilities such as increased lifespan and increased resistance by absorbing divinity.

  Divinity can increase the total amount of divine power.

  Even if both dignity and integrity are completely given up, it is still impossible to exchange for a guarantee of safety, and they are still ruthlessly betrayed.

  How can this breath be swallowed?

  "Damn it, Shrek. Whatever, divine affairs are too far away from me now, Ill think about how to deal with Hei Sun first..." Raven had just cursed in her heart when the system suddenly "dinged" again.

  "Main Quest Released [Whether to be the boss or cling to the thigh, this is a problem!]: Life is all about making choices constantly, and every choice will come back to affect your life. Young man, youve been bullied enough, your opponent is a massive organization that can crush you with just one finger, what are you going to do now? Depending on your choices and achievements, there will be different rewards!"

  In an instant, Raven felt like he was being toyed with by the system.

  This task is way too vague, dont even know what the reward is.

  Of course, with simple reasoning, it can also be inferred that when a small recipient endures humiliation and pretends to forget the matter, this outcome is bound to be the most tragic.

  Leiwen remembered that the Black Insect Sect was at least a medium-sized sect with hundreds of members in the game, and it was absolutely a giant existence in the novice area, not something that could be defeated by a level 1 assassin.

  Its simple, after killing a Corrupted Disciple, just leave some clues and the hatred will be forever solidified, the entire church will have newbies in the district chasing you. Whats even more disgusting is that theres a necessary setting in the game: NPCs will refresh every 2 hours!

  In other words, unless you are a super master who can wipe out all the cultists and priests at once, you will be forever troubled by the Dark Cult.

  Now that Ive crossed over myself, there shouldnt be any more refreshing of this code, right? Isnt that a bit suspicious?

  What is a god-level assassin? A god-level assassin never kills people, but kills loneliness!

  Countless times surpassing the challenge level of extreme assassination of red-named monsters, countless times risking death to solo challenge bosses, for what?

  Isnt it just to prove that one can do what others cannot!

  Unconsciously, Raven began to think about how to upgrade and clear the entire Black Scorch Church at the same time. In his plan, it was no problem to clean up ordinary cultists, but the problem lay in the Guardian Knights of the Black Scorch Church. There seemed to be a loyal knight who was very powerful...

  Ravens train of thought was interrupted unexpectedly.

  The sound of footsteps came from afar, and the servant who had just left was coming back.

  After drinking the second bottle of holy water, he settled his mortal wound with Carin, but the wound had not fully healed. The third bottle in his hand was No. 7, and it might be too late to reach out for others.

  Its obvious that there isnt enough holy water left for two people.

  With a gritted teeth, Raven applied the holy water all over Karins face. The cost of doing so was a bowl-sized scar left on his abdomen, while the shallow knife wound from Karins left eyebrow to her left cheek completely disappeared without a trace.

  Carin, who had been intoxicated due to the healing of her wound, also woke up as all pain disappeared. Instinctively, she touched her own wound and then touched Ravens wound before he could stop her.

  She realized what had happened and tears fell silently.

  "Kalin... its nothing, isnt a scar the mark of a man? These are minor." Raven comforted Kalin with dry words. But the more he spoke, the harder Kalin cried.

  Caroline gently pulled Ravens hand, and on a face that should have been covered in tears, a brilliant smile burst forth: "Brother, youre too bad! How can I possibly marry someone else like this?!"

  "How can you still be unmarried? Isnt your face fully recovered?"

  With a "heh", Karins smile became even more radiant, and with the aid of his dark vision, Raven could clearly feel this beautiful beauty. Only 13 years old, she was already a typical beauty, what would happen when she grew up?

  "Youre just a blockhead!"

  Just as Raven was about to say something, footsteps were getting closer and closer.

  Karin looked at the empty bottle in Ravens hand and suddenly realized that they had stolen the holy water, which would surely be discovered. She opened her blue eyes wide with anxiety: "What to do?"

  Karin could imagine that once they were discovered, the two of them would have to face the wrath of the wealthy church.

  Whats worse, a cat that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere had discovered Raven and was walking towards the air vent.

  Have I been discovered?!
