Chapter 107 A Leap to Four Stars! (Please Subscribe!)

As Lu An spoke, his retreat did not slow down at all, and he was about to disappear into the darkness again.

Louis stepped forward and chased after them without hesitation.

In the dark, aided by his Shadow Sword Technique, his speed was no less than that of Lu An when he was injured.

To hinder the opponent's retreat, Louis swung his longsword repeatedly, unleashing invisible magical blades of light hidden in the darkness at tricky angles towards Ruan.

Ding ding—

Lu An, carrying his short sword, struggled to block the invisible slashes, his only thought being to escape.

He raised his hand and summoned ropes woven from shadows, which coiled towards Louis like venomous snakes, but Louis, with his superhuman speed, dodged them all.

Just as Louis and Ruan were chasing and fighting, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Luan, we meet again."

Upon hearing the voice, Lu An's expression suddenly froze, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

Suddenly, a young man stood there quietly. He was handsome, with a warm expression, and his aura was like a small sun illuminating those around him.

"Hilron?"

Ruan was all too familiar with that face.

That was the face of the fourth hero who, despite his all-out assassination attempt, managed to escape with serious injuries.

Is the fourth hero still alive? Ruan was almost in a daze.

The pressure of personally slaying a hero was already immense; if he failed, the pressure would only increase.

The fourth hero didn't give him much time to react. With a stomp of his foot, he leaped forward with astonishing force, crashing straight into Ruan.

As he advanced, he drew his sword from his waist, and with a cold glint in his eyes, slashed heavily at Lu An.

clang-

Another crisp metallic clang rang out. Lu An, after all, was a seasoned assassin and had already reacted.

"You are not him; you are merely a corpse controlled by a necromancer!"

Lu An snorted coldly.

Hillen's smile remained warm: "Even though it wasn't him, you were still fooled for a moment, weren't you?"

Before he could finish speaking, a head that was suspended in mid-air suddenly appeared from behind Hiren, opening its mouth to bite at Ruan.

The assassin reacted swiftly, slashing the head across its mouth with a single blow, seemingly intending to split it in two.

But something completely unexpected happened to Lu An! His expensive, custom-made assassination dagger was stuck in the head's mouth!

Before he could draw his sword, the head's mouth snapped shut, its white teeth clashing against the black dagger.

With a snap, the short knife was bitten into three pieces.

Only then did he see the true face of the head.

"Sir Carenno?!"

Without the dagger to stop it, the head shot towards Ruan's neck like a cannonball and bit down hard.

Blood splattered, and Lu An roared in pain. The bite had pierced his carotid artery, another fatal wound.

He frantically tried to use the same trick again, summoning shadow threads to plug the wound on his neck, but it was too late.

Louis's figure had already appeared behind him, his eyes cold, and his longsword swung out without hesitation.

The sword struck Lu An directly on the head.

The sharp magical blade sliced ​​through, and Ruan's skull, along with half of his brain, flew out.

His body instantly lost its strength and control over the darkness, and he slumped softly downwards.

"This time I aimed right at the head."

Louis landed lightly, shook the blood off his sword, and sheathed it.

Ruan did not escape in the end, but Louis also understood that if he relied solely on his own strength to pursue him, he might not be able to capture him.

All of this was thanks to Nora's great help.

He used the flying undead created from Sir Calenno's head to restrain the enemy, and he used the corpse of the Fourth Hero, Siren, to influence Ruan's mind.

Without these, Ruan's escape speed would not have slowed down.

Louis turned to look at Nora, wanting to thank the necromancer.

But at that moment, he realized something and turned sharply to look at the corpse of Hiren still standing to the side.

Wait, Hillen's body?

Didn't we agree to bury him?

As expected, you can't trust what a necromancer says!

He also noticed a large leather suitcase that Nora had tossed aside; it was clearly the same one he had seen during his last trip to Wind Chime City.

So the little toys in the suitcase are the hero's corpse, right?

Louis's face darkened: "Nora, you—"

"Cough cough."

Nora, feeling guilty, covered her embarrassment with a dry cough and said somewhat hesitantly, "I felt that burying Hiron's body directly would be disrespectful to him, so I've been using necromancer's secret arts to repair his body recently."

"Can we bury him after he becomes lifelike?"

Louis didn't speak, but kept staring at Nora through the eyes behind the mask's lenses.

The necromancer turned her head away: "We'll bury it when we get back, okay?"

Louis then nodded in satisfaction.

Just as everything had settled down, Louis discovered that there had actually been a constant vibration coming from above the sewers.

It seems that while they were fighting Ruan, a fierce battle was also taking place on the north city wall. Judging from this familiar tremor, it must be that black-armored woman, the hero Molly, who has returned.

However, that level of combat was clearly beyond his control.

Let's put the spoils away first.

Filled with excitement, he rushed to Ruanna's corpse, which was missing half its head.

After picking up the guy's skull and putting it back on, Louis placed his hand on Ruan's corpse, and the notification sound of the cheat code rang out.

[You have picked up the corpse of a "Level 1 Assassin" with the following attributes: Extraordinary +0.2 (capped), Dexterity +7, Concentration +8, Sensing +2, Strength +1, Stamina +1]

[Acquired Life Skill: Etiquette LV2]

[Gained Class Talent: Shadow Domination]

[Gained Level 1 skills: Bloodthirst, Plain Mask, Shadow Affinity]

[Gained Level 0 skills: Basic Assassination Technique, Ghostly Steps ————]

The incessant beeping caused Louis's ears to ache.

There was only one thing he was certain of.

What a bumper harvest!

Leaving aside talents and skills, the basic attributes alone represent an unprecedented bounty.

8 points in concentration, 7 points in dexterity, and it just exploded like that?

If he hadn't truly felt the changes in his body, he would have almost thought he had misheard.

He now has reached 20 points in both dexterity and concentration, which is the limit for a level 1 professional, and the same goes for magic adaptability.

In addition, his stamina, strength, intelligence, and perception all reached 15 points.

These four values ​​are clearly the assassin's secondary attributes.

Aside from his intelligence being 15 points to begin with, his other three attributes were also increased to 15 points by touching Luan's corpse.

It's no exaggeration to say that he has perfectly inherited Lu An's attribute panel. Now, he is definitely a level 1 four-star assassin!

From zero stars to four stars!

After fully absorbing the changes in his basic attributes, Louis began to examine his other gains.

Among these, class-specific talents and skills are of paramount importance.

However, before that, he noticed the "Life and Professional Etiquette LV2" of the harvest.

Despite being an assassin, he diligently studied the etiquette of high society, which Louis found quite strange.

This guy is really single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder.
