Chapter 328: Chapter 186: Rose of Shedding Skin (Part 2)
Upon hearing that cold reply, the faces of the people around them darkened slightly.
Thirty percent. That was too high.
"But how much longer do we have to keep running like this?"
"Just a while longer."
"I’ve already arranged for a Divination Master I know to block any Divination... As long as it’s not a Divination Master Level 6 or higher, they shouldn’t be able to find us."
"I’ve prepared a hiding spot in advance."
"Kernoya has too many powerful people. I’ve faked our trail, but I can’t guarantee that some expert won’t see through it."
"Still, we’ve already crossed so much complex terrain..." the Hunter said cautiously, his tone very serious.
However, the Assassin standing to the side, with dual blades hanging at his waist, flashed a ridiculous smile. "Haha, I bet those guys are still chasing our fake trail right now."
"Once we get back and Lady Que He puts on this broad’s skin, our success rate for exploring the ruins should go up a bit more!"
"It’s a shame we don’t know what’s going on with the Death Church."
"Making the Lorren Kingdom’s Chief Mage their Sect Leader is just absurd."
"Have those guys from the Death Church actually submitted to Lorren?"
"But that kid, Lu Cang, is definitely something special."
"If Lady Que He could get his skin."
The Assassin glanced at the bewitching woman beside him. She was a Level 5 Skin Taker, able to steal an enemy’s skin and craft it into a Special hide for herself to wear.
By doing so, she could use most of the abilities that came with the skin.
Combined with the Skills inherent to her Profession, like skin-swapping and shedding, she could single-handedly wield the advantages of multiple High Level Professions at once.
Que He’s voice was gentle. "It’s fine~"
"We of the Rose of Shedding Skin are already planning it. That boy, Lu Cang... his skin is truly top-quality."
"It’s just that the boy has those people protecting him, so it’s not easy to make a move."
"Perhaps the Sect Leader will have to personally plan it to get his skin."
"But how we’ll escape from those Izparut people afterward is something we still need to discuss..."
"Up ahead... that should be the hiding spot, right?"
The five of them sprinted forward and saw a cave ahead, concealed by a Restriction.
"Wait! Who’s that?"
However, when they focused their eyes, they saw a figure holding a War Spear in front of the cave.
His expression was grim.
"Looks like,"
"I came to the right place..."
Lu Cang stood before the cave entrance.
’To think there’s a group of people secretly plotting to kill me. If I don’t eliminate a hidden threat like this, root and stem, I’ll never be able to rest easy.’
"It’s him!"
The Assassin running at the very front trembled violently!
He immediately halted his charge and fell to the very back of the group.
His presence gradually faded.
Meanwhile, the other Assassin at the front had already drawn the dual blades from his back!
"Lu Cang!"
"Is that him? The Chief Mage of Lorren?!" the Assassin shouted excitedly.
"Run!" the Werewolf Hunter yelled, turning his head.
BANG!
The Assassin stomped hard on the air!
He charged straight for Lu Cang!
"What are you afraid of?! You’re scared of a little kid? You’ve lost your nerve!"
"He’s only Level 3, right?! It’s four Level 5 Reincarnators against one! The advantage is ours!"
He leaped forward!
His dual blades shone with a translucent light! He was going for the kill!
An Assassin! The more he kills, the further he walks the path of his Profession!
He could kill Demons, of course.
But compared to killing Demons, he much preferred killing people!
Killing Skill—Blood Blade Dissection
In his eyes, countless fine red lines had already appeared on Lu Cang’s body. As long as he sliced along those lines, he could dismember Lu Cang with ease!
Effortlessly breaking through any defense!
But...
BANG!
Before he even reached Lu Cang, he was struck by an immense force!
His body flew backward, completely out of his control!
’Wait...’
’Not my body?’
’Why is the world spinning so fast?’
The world was a dizzying, chaotic blur. Vaguely, he thought he saw a headless body flying away into the distance?
The Assassin’s body flew past.
And Lu Cang stood suspended in mid-air.
The Level 5 Assassin, Skin Taker, and Hunter watched as the head soared toward the distant horizon, spinning like a soccer ball.
A deep-seated fear rose in their hearts.
’No... ability to resist at all?’
’He sent Bado’s head flying with just one kick...’
"I was hoping to hear a few more secrets, but... a friend of mine might be getting impatient."
BANG!
There was little more than an extremely fast flash of white light.
A giant hole abruptly appeared in the bodies of the Assassin and the Hunter!
Immediately after, Lu Cang was right in front of the Skin Taker.
"You..."
SWOOSH!
In that instant, countless spells from the Magic of Imprisonment formed.
They enveloped the person before him, encasing her in a giant sphere.
Far in the distance, Lu Luwei had been approaching.
But after seeing this scene, she stopped in her tracks.
"Lu Luwei, there are a few Level 4 stragglers on the way. Help me bring them back too."
Lu Luwei puffed out her cheeks.
’He’s not calling me Big Sis anymore?’
...
Lu Cang rushed back to the Life Church as quickly as possible.
Chum’s death...
He couldn’t afford to delay for too long.
The ideal window for revival was within six hours of death, but the sooner, the better.
SWOOSH!
Lu Cang landed at the Life Church.
He quickly made his way to the chamber Between Revivals, where Kumironi was already waiting.
Kumironi saw Lu Cang.
The two of them nodded to each other.
Lu Cang placed the recovered body of Chum directly onto the platform in the center of the room.
By this time, Chum had been dead for nearly five hours.
Aside from a missing arm, the recovered corpse was relatively intact. The numerous wounds covering his body wouldn’t be a major issue.
