  Fateless had been focusing his full attention on the treasure chest since entering the cave. Only after the treasure chest was successfully opened did he notice the existence of his nemesis, Tiger Cub. The fellow had actually followed him into the Spirit Sovereign’s cave.

  Fateless did not think that the six of them would be so unlucky—they were still being pursued relentlessly by the guy after having entered Level 5 of the Graveyard of the Gods. In the midst of anxiety, Fateless still exhibited the Bandit Assassin’s flair for remaining calm and composed in the face of death. In that moment of having nearly fallen into the enemy’s trap, he snarled before he quickly turned around to retrieve a dagger and hurl it across at lightning speed.

  That was the first time Fateless was forced into such a difficult situation by a Bandit Class player.

  However, the main reason for the difficult situation was not Tiger Cub, but rather the treasure chest behind him—it was the item within the treasure chest, which had yet to be revealed, as well as the sacrifices of Judge and Black Rock, along with the collective effort of Qin Ruo and the others.

  If the shameless bastard, Tiger Cub managed to gain the final advantage at the expense of losing two brothers, he would feel uneasy for the rest of his life!

  With a roar, fervently deactivating from Stealth mode, the odd-looking Tiger Cub shot out three flashes, and simultaneously at the highest speed, sent out a flying dagger which he had been holding closely in his left hand……

  Miraculous!

  His target was hit!

  After Tiger Cub’s two lethal strikes with high-attack damage flitted across Fateless’ nape, it was obvious he was shaken up by the situation before his eyes……

  Unexpectedly, it was not an instant kill!

  Although he had the famous reputation of being the Bandit Assassin, he was a low-HP Bandit. Yet, in an unguarded situation, after being directly hit by Tiger Cub’s two combos, he actually did not die……

  It was more than 1,500 points of damage! That was no joking matter!

  Tiger Cub had even planned to sweep away the prize in the treasure chest immediately once he quickly got rid of Fateless. In a bizarre twist, Fateless not losing his life caused an unforeseeable variation to his plans.

  His original plan of sneaking a fatal attack on Fateless, who had been completely focused on the treasure chest and oblivious to the danger that was Tiger Cub lurking behind, was shattered. The targeted Fateless was so close to death after he took a hit, but he actually managed to escape the attack, and without the slightest hesitation, he countered his attacker. (TL Note: The author uses the idiom “the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind” to describe Tiger Cub’s original plan.)

  There were three flashes!

  Out of sorts, Fateless’ counterattack also hit the equally unguarded Tiger Cub…… At the same time, it caused damage through a Poison Effect. As a high-ranking Bandit, Fateless did not have any Legendary Grade Bandit weapon, but even so, when it came to gathered top-tier equipment, his had the highest attack damage and was extremely poisonous.

  Both seemed equally matched!

  The two men darted out in the opposite direction at the same time……

  Tiger Cub was actually shocked that Fateless possessed more than 1,700 HP and had dealt high damage to him in an instant. Once he retreated, he hastily took out one HP Potion (L) and consumed it.

  The situation of Fateless was obviously quite bleak now.

  Although his reputation was not beneath Tiger Cub’s, one of them had a strong family background, while the other was one a lone ranger. The quality of the equipment determined the degree of damage.

  Tiger Cub’s Legendary Grade Equipment cost Fateless the loss of more than 1,500 HP at 200 HP per second. It was extremely deadly!

  Although Fateless managed to counter-attack, it only caused damage of less than 700 HP to Tiger Cub. His Poison Effect damage was also inferior compared to that of the Legendary Grade Equipment. It only dealt 100 damage per second.

  During his counter-attack, he had felt his movements distinctly become a lot more sluggish. This meant that he was at the brink of sinking into a weakened state, and he felt a chill in his heart. Knowing that it was impossible for his attack to cause any kind of lethal damage to Tiger Cub, he clenched his teeth! With determination, he roared!

  A flying dagger was shot out!

  In the next second……

  Fateless experienced the second wave of damage caused by the Poison Effect, and at that moment, his life was depleted. His battered body fell in front of Tiger Cub’s eyes.

  ***

  Tiger Cub was once again stunned……

  Initially, when Tiger Cub saw that Fateless still stood firm after he was hit by his fatal blow, Tiger Cub was already prepared for the worst-case scenario: even if he had to die with Fateless, he needed to absolutely seize the item in the treasure chest. He was prepared to fight for it to the death. However, he did not expect the fact that Fateless would die first……

  As the system notification made the announcement, Tiger Cub’s heart was filled with disbelief, and his movement became inevitably stagnant…… But in just half a second, Tiger Cub’s attention was completely attracted by the treasure chest behind Fateless’ corpse!

  Right then, the delight of killing Angel Faction’s Bandit Assassin did not dampen the temptation brought about by the treasure chest, and he could not wait to rush over to it……

  Tiger Cub had completely abandoned any thoughts of the Winter Demon—Qin Ruo—and the Twelve Zodiacs Clan. He only knew that this was the most bountiful harvest he had come across since joining H&G!

  Divinity!

  Legendary Equipment!

  Tiger Cub held back the urge in his heart and quickly pressed both his hands on the treasure chest.

  At that moment, the sound of an object breaking through the air at high speed suddenly erupted in Tiger Cub’s ears……

  ***

  Actually, when Fateless was ambushed, Qin Ruo had already suspected that the Bandit who snuck into the Spirit Sovereign’s cave was their old rival, Tiger Cub. Feeling tense, he dispatched Poochie to go on ahead and hurriedly instructed the Amethyst Orc to storm in.

  Unexpectedly, one second later, the assassination of Fateless by their rival League’s players was announced through the system notification!

  “Damn it!”


  Subjugator bellowed, “Qin Ruo, leave this to me! You go on inside and help us kill that bastard, Tiger Cub!” He was prepared to pounce on the Spirit Sovereign at once.

  Yet, someone was faster than him……

  The Cryospider and Twelve Frostramparts Formation had simultaneously entered the battlefield together. Under Snowleaf’s command, the Cryospider jumped on to the Spirit Sovereign’s body at lightning speed!

  Self-detonation!

  Boom!

  Facing the shockwave of such a strong self-detonation, even the Tier 6 Megaboss was at a disadvantage before the special skill of an extraordinary magical beast like the Cryospider, given that the shockwave ranged a few meters.

  As the Spirit Sovereign took a hit, Qin Ruo quickly retrieved a simple Magic Scroll from his backpack and opened it straight away……

  Then, Qin Ruo’s silhouette vanished right in front of Subjugator and Snowleaf’s astonished gazes!

  ***

  Just like a fire-fighting squadron, Poochie, not requiring any further instruction, stormed into the cave at lightning speed. It headed directly towards Tiger Cub, who had placed his hands on the treasure chest.

  “Roll!”


  Being harassed at this juncture, even the usually calm and cool-headed Tiger Cub could not help but become furious. He screamed angrily and swung his dagger out akin to an alert snake, trying to stab the shadow of the little Shadowfox that launched itself over like a shot of electricity.

  However, he did not dare to underestimate Qin Ruo’s pet. He withdrew his hands from the treasure chest extremely fast. After all, this pet was the one that sent the Tier 5 Elite Boss flying nearby the teleport point of Level 4 of the Graveyard of The Gods. And at Level 5 of Graveyard, it knocked down countless Tier 6 magical beasts for amusement—it was a terrifying magical beast. If it were to knock into Tiger Cub’s body, would he not be sent flying far away?

  Utilizing Cloak, his physique changed form and Poochie’s interceptive attack suddenly fell through. At that moment, Tiger Cub instantly inflicted a bright bloody scar on the little guy’s brown body.

  It was more than 400 points of damage with a Poison Effect.

  Tiger Cub sighed, as it was such a pity. If the attack had been on Qin Ruo’s body, with its poison effect of 200 damage per second, he reckoned it would have directly taken the life of the one with the rising reputation—the Winter Demon. Unfortunately, the one that received the attack was his pet instead. Based on the magical beast’s HP, enduring more than 15 seconds was not a difficult matter.

  While depressed, Tiger Cub did not forget the biggest purpose of his trip—the treasure chest!

  After Poochie was thrown out by Tiger Cub using his dagger, Tiger Cub did not dare press on the treasure chest again. Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked the heavy lid of the treasure chest open with all his might……

  A dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire cave!

  The treasure kept hidden by the Spirit Sovereign finally appeared before them!

  It was a chest filled with equipment. At the brim was a helmet with a purple hexagonal crystal affixed on top of it. Sleek, smooth and glossy, the crystal looked exceptionally serene and still, as though it had been placed at the center of a pile of dazzling equipment. Despite not being very eye-catching, it had attracted Tiger Cub’s full attention……

  Divinity!

  Just as his hands were reaching out……

  A voice that should not have been present so quickly, abruptly echoed from behind Tiger Cub, “Tidal Roar!”


  ***

  “No!”


  Intensive and powerful magic surged behind him, and an unprecedented deadly atmosphere shrouded the person’s whole body! The red-eyed Tiger Cub spared no effort to let go of the opened treasure chest. With a loud roar, he reached madly for the purple Divinity placed in the middle of the treasure chest!

  He was unaware that someone else’s eyes were wilder than his own!

  Subjugator was dead……

  Black Rock was dead!

  Fateless had also been sacrificed!

  After so much sacrifices and effort invested, how could this shameless Bandit be allowed to snatch it away!

  ***

  Rise!

  The Spirit Sovereign’s cave was like a speaker, and the resounding dragon’s roar spread in all directions from the distant Death Valley, straight into the sky……
