A Tier 4 Sky Knight was the overlord of a large city. Now, however, the Sky Knight had been killed so abruptly. He had not even been able to put up a fight. ``
Shifeng even thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Could this be a trap for the Sky Knight?" Shifeng could not help but feel relieved when he saw the dissipating starlight.
Previously, he had been thinking of stealing the treasure from the Orc King Tresik.
Fortunately, he had given up on this idea. Otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as the Sky Knight.
To be able to instantly kill a Tier 4 Sky Knight without leaving a corpse or equipment behind, one could just imagine how much damage the Orc King Tresik had received.
Although players were not afraid of death, being killed by such an attack would not be as simple as losing some EXP and equipment. It might even affect the player's body.
In the simplest case, a player's Immortal Soul would be damaged, and they would not be able to log into God's Domain for a short time.
However, this was not the worst case scenario. In some adventures, if a player died, they might even consider deleting their account after reviving.
The Sky Knight's death was most likely one of these scenarios.
After the Sky Knight died, the Orc King Tresik sheathed his crimson greatsword. He then slowly walked up to the golden treasure, a gloating smile on his sinister face.
Following which, the Orc King Tresik started chanting an incantation. Suddenly, golden divine runes appeared around the treasure, wrapping around it as if sealing it.
"It's not a trap?"
Shifeng saw the Orc King Tresik's actions. It was obvious that this was not a trap meant to deal with the Orc King Tresik. It should be that the treasure was special and could not be touched. The Orc King Tresik knew this, but the Sky Knight did not.
Since the Orc King Tresik knew that the treasure could not be touched, he naturally knew what kind of treasure it was. Hence, he had sealed it.
"Should I take this risk?" Shifeng hesitated.
Previously, the treasure had been too close to the Orc King Tresik. By the time he ran over, it would be too late. Most likely, he would not have reached the treasure in time. The Orc King Tresik had stored the treasure and killed him with a single slash. However, now that the Orc King Tresik was about to seal the treasure, he had an opportunity.
He could use this opportunity to sneak over to the treasure. The moment the treasure was sealed, he would snatch it.
However, Shifeng had personally witnessed just how powerful the Mythic ranked Orc King Tresik was.
Shi Feng had even received Firmament's Flash, a Tier 5 Skill. Against a Tier 1 player like himself, Shi Feng would be child's play.
He was afraid that before he could even reach the treasure, he would be killed by the sword.
Furthermore, after collecting the treasures. Escaping was also a problem.
With the Orc King Tresik's Attributes, even if Shi Feng were several times faster, he would not be able to escape from the Orc King's grasp.
Seeing the number of golden divine runes around the treasure increasing, Shifeng glanced at the Seven Luminaries Ring on his finger. He then abruptly activated Gravity Liberation and jumped down from the city wall, charging towards the black altar.
A treasure that could even move a Tier 4 NP, if he didn't fight for it, it would be a pity.
Furthermore, after the Seven Luminaries Ring was upgraded to the seventh grade. His skills had been greatly enhanced, so he definitely had a chance to give it a try.
Atop the black altar, the Orc King Tresik focused on chanting an incantation. Meanwhile, Shifeng slowly approached the treasure.
The perception range of a Mythic monster was not as wide as that of a God. Generally, it was only a 100-yard range. Hence, Shifeng still had a chance. If the perception range was too wide, Shifeng would have no choice but to give up.
When Shifeng arrived within 100 yards of the Orc King Tresik, he abruptly stopped. Sure enough, the Orc King had not discovered him. Following which, Shifeng moved along the 100-yard range, searching for the spot closest to the treasure. Following which, he quietly waited for the moment the treasure was about to be sealed.
Golden divine runes covered the treasure one after another. This was the first time Shifeng had seen such a complicated sealing technique.
Just as the sealing was about to end … Shifeng immediately used Phantom Kill, having his doppelganger quietly run to the other side and wait.
Time passed slowly. Shifeng began to feel restless.
He was only a Tier 1 class. This was his first time trying to steal a treasure from a Mythic monster. If he was careless, he might die. While the loss of EXP was small, he was afraid of losing equipment. This was especially true for the Seven Luminaries Ring and Sky's Breath. These two pieces of equipment were not bound items. When players died, they had a high chance of dropping. Unlike Magic Weapons, which were bound items, there was a high chance that they would drop.
However, without these pieces of equipment, he would not be able to steal the treasure. One could say that this was a huge gamble.
Just as Shifeng waited quietly …
The Orc King Tresik finished chanting the final verse of his incantation.
Suddenly, countless divine runes enveloped the treasure. The treasure's original golden glow also disappeared, transforming into a simple, unadorned crystal ball.
When the Orc King Tresik saw this crystal ball, the smile on his face grew even more excited. However, just as the Orc King was about to take the first step towards the crystal ball, Shifeng's doppelganger suddenly dashed towards the crystal ball. The doppelganger was so fast that it was like a black shadow. In the blink of an eye, the doppelganger crossed the 100-yard distance.
"A mere Tier 1 ant dares to spy on Shenjing?!"
"Die!"
The Orc King Tresik sneered as he unsheathed the blood-red greatsword on his back. Transforming into a streak of light, he appeared before Shifeng's doppelganger.
Before the Orc King Tresik, even after activating Windwalk, Shifeng's doppelganger's speed was as slow as a tortoise's. In addition, the doppelganger had just killed a Sky Knight. Hence, the Orc King Tresik felt even more disdain for Tier 1 ants like Shifeng. Hence, he wanted to eliminate the rats that dared to sully Shenjing's reputation first.
Facing the Orc King Tresik's doppelganger's doppelganger instinctively activated Defensive Blade.
He had to admit that Shifeng's judgment was extremely accurate.
Due to the massive difference in Attributes after Tresik had unsheathed his greatsword, Shifeng's doppelganger had been struck before it could react. Meanwhile, Shifeng had only unsheathed his greatsword halfway.
Although Shifeng had grasped the Flowing Water Domain and had even learned Flowing Water Acceleration, there was a fundamental difference between him and the Orc King Tresik. Tresik's Basic Attributes were over ten times higher than Shifeng's. No matter how amazing his techniques were, there was a limit to how effective they could be.
In the blink of an eye, Defensive Blade's block counts were all used up.
Immediately after, a red flash appeared. Shifeng's doppelganger was killed with a single slash. The doppelganger had not been able to put up any resistance.
However, while the Orc King Tresik dealt with the doppelganger, Shifeng had long since activated Windwalk and used a Speed Scroll. He had even activated Blade Liberation, increasing his Agility by 80%. He had even equipped the Flame Boots and used Flame Sprint, increasing his Movement Speed by another 100%.
His speed was even faster than the wind.
By the time the Orc King Tresik had killed the doppelganger, Shifeng was already less than 20 yards away from the treasure.
"Damn it!" The Orc King Tresik immediately discovered Shifeng. Turning his head, he charged towards Xiang Shifeng.
Although Shifeng's Movement Speed was two to three times faster than the doppelganger, to the Orc King Tresik, he was still very slow.
Sure enough …
When Shifeng was still three yards away, the Orc King Tresik appeared before Shifeng, his greatsword slashing down at him …
However, Shifeng had long since been prepared. He had activated the Aura of Earth. The instant he had been discovered, he had activated Absolute Defense, granting him five seconds of invulnerability. The Orc King's attack had been completely ineffective.
With Invulnerability, Shifeng no longer had to worry about attacks. Withstanding the attacks, he grabbed the crystal ball and stored it in his bag.
The Orc King Tresik was enraged. His berserk aura suffocated Shifeng. If not for Invulnerability, he would have long since died.
