Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
chapter-214

After felling two more Scaled Frogs, Nie Yan detected the peculiar presence yet again. He could clearly sense that someone was trying to approach him. However, when he turned around to look, the forest was tranquil without any signs of activity.

Just as Nie Yan walked over to another Scaled Frog, he felt the violent resonance of magic being cast behind him. In the blink of an eye, a dark power descended on him.

Enfeeble! Grief!

Curses that took effect instantaneously were especially frightening. If caught without a corresponding potion or a Priest or Paladin who could cast Dispel, you would be left in an extremely precarious situation.

He’s probably using an Invisibility Potion!

Nie Yan took a quick glance at his character information. His stats were reduced by 60%! What powerful curses! Ordinary curses that could reduce a target’s stats by 20% were already quite dreadful, but these two curses had directly cut down his stats by almost two thirds!

Not giving Nie Yan the chance to activate Stealth, a bright orb of light flew up into the sky, illuminating the ground below with an unveiling radiance. Without delay a ray of light flew out from between the trees and struck him. A bright floating mark appeared above his head, exposing his position completely.

Finally, a Dark Corrosion spiralled toward Nie Yan at a matchless speed.

Dark Corrosion was one of the most formidable spells belonging to a Shadow Priest! A target struck by the spell would suffer damage over time, as well be inflicted with an extremely powerful curse.

Shit! That’s a really nasty combo of spells! Nie Yan inwardly cursed. So many spells were fired off in quick succession. wasn’t letting him catch his breath at all!

Nie Yan shot a glance at an area beside a tree about 30 meters away, where he spotted a Shadow Priest in ash-gray robes brandishing a staff and chanting out a line of incarnation syllables at a rapid pace.

The magical energy in the air fluctuated violently for a brief instant.

Before he could get back on his feet, a giant spider web dropped directly out of the sky above him!

It was Web, although clearly a higher rank. He had previously relied on the Junior version of this uncommon spell to trap many an unsuspecting target.

Swift Retreat! Nie Yan gained a sudden burst of speed. He bounded backward like lightning which put him beyond the reach of Web.

The web fell on the ground but failed to ensnare Nie Yan.

“Not just his speed, but his reaction time is pretty fast too,” muttered, as he calmly held the staff in his hand. He had to admit… Nie Yan’s speed was really astonishing. Even after being hit with such powerful curses, he was still able to move so quickly. recalled the awe-inspiring strike Nie Yan used to incapacitate Hei Zhuo. It was no wonder even Yu Long couldn’t stop him.

If he hadn’t made the first move, it would’ve truly been difficult to get the upper hand on Nie Yan.

raised his staff, firing off a Shadow Arrow at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan took advantage of time for Web to end to drink a Cure Potion, removing the status effects of Enfeeble and Grief. Shadow Waltz! He took cover behind a tree to avoid the Shadow Arrow, then darted toward .

Even though Nie Yan activated Shadow Waltz, could still determine his position thanks to Glimmer Mark. He repeatedly waved his staff, letting loose an unending torrent of spells.

However, Nie Yan’s speed was too great, and could only spot the fleeting afterimages he left behind as he darted through the gaps between the trees.

calmly retreated until he arrived at a wide open space in the forest where no trees were growing.

The clearing covered about a 100 square meters.

He and Black Heaven had already been tailing Nie Yan for a quite a while. He could’ve engaged Nie Yan at any time, but he didn’t want to fight on disadvantageous terrain. If he failed his ambush in a densely forested area, Nie Yan could take advantage of the cover to dispatch of him effortlessly. This was why he decided to take action just a moment ago, when he discovered there was a patch of open land nearby.

had always been prudent. Even if success was almost guaranteed, he would still make sure to take every little advantage he could get.

Truthfully speaking, was still much more accustomed to playing a Warrior. He still wasn’t particularly comfortable playing a class like the Shadow Priest. However, if you’ve seen the playstyle of one caster, then you’ve seen the playstyle of all casters. He often PvPed against casters at the professional level in the past, so he still more or less understood how to play one proficiently.

“Let’s see just how strong you are. Come!” waved his staff, calling forth a shadow which slowly took the form of a person, devoid of any features.

Nie Yan gasped in alarm when he saw Black Heaven’s actions. This guy’s no joke. He already has a Shadow Familiar!

Shadow Familiars were the summoned guardians of Shadow Priests. They possessed good attack and defense.

Nie Yan left the cover of the forest and dashed into the clearing. He was going straight for .

Waving his staff, cast the Slow curse on Nie Yan, then quickly retreated before releasing another Shadow Arrow.

Nie Yan immediately grew sluggish. His figure paused slightly as the Shadow Arrow shot directly toward him. The timing of these two spells was practically perfect!

Nie Yan activated Holy Descent from the Medal of the Ten Holy Paladins. The slow debuff on his body disappeared, and he reached top speed in a flash. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed toward .「Bang!」The Shadow Arrow exploded upon coming into contact with him, but it failed to deal the slightest bit of damage or inflict any debuffs.

At the bat of an eyelid, Nie Yan was directly in front of . Concussive Blow! His dagger sped toward ’s forehead like a streak of lightning.

Nie Yan’s speed seemed even faster than in the video where he killed Hei Zhuo. was startled. Waving his staff, his figure blurred as the Shadow Familiar moved from the side to intercept.

Nie Yan couldn’t help but secretly admire his opponent. really did have some ability. In such a short span of time, he was able to smoothly control his Shadow Familiar to block.
