Heroes' Prison

Chapter 239 - 234 Nameless

If Overlord’s development goes smoothly later on, he will have a good chance of becoming a figure like Huang Yi and Thunder God.

After briefly browsing, Huang Yi returned to The Second World and went to the Tower of Pantheons with Xiao Chunzi Qin Shiyu to level grind, while his incarnation continued tirelessly towards Tiantai City.

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Huang Yi’s level had risen to 58, and his avatar had finally arrived at Tiantai City and activated the teleportation circle there.

That day, Huang Yi finally teleported to Tiantai City through the teleportation circle at the base.

He entered the city’s Warrior Hall, went straight to the fifth floor, and under the guidance of the Skill Teacher, activated the Secret Realm Teleportation Formation to teleport to the Pantheon’s Mystic Realms to learn rare class skills.

In the center of this secret realm, a few tall NPCs warriors stood. It so happened that a player was challenging one of the warriors right then.

Wielding a dagger, the player moved with remarkable agility, circling the warrior and stabbing repeatedly, his figure ghostly to the extreme, like a string of shadows.

Huang Yi, seeing this player’s combat steps, couldn’t help but silently praise him in his heart. The player seemed to be around twenty years old, about the same age as him, and appeared to be an assassin, but possessing such strong combat prowess, he obviously wasn’t an ordinary assassin.

Huang Yi decided to stand by and observe for a while, not going over to disturb him.

The player quickly noticed Huang Yi’s arrival and his attack rhythm became slightly disrupted, as if fearing Huang Yi would come over to steal his kill, leading to several close calls.

Huang Yi stood still and didn’t interfere, but instead watched carefully his battle with the warrior, gauging the warrior’s combat ability, to have a better chance when his turn to challenge came.

Seeing Huang Yi standing there, the player wasn’t sure what to do, unable to judge if he was friend or foe, and thus slowed his attack pace. While fighting, he turned his head to keep an eye on Huang Yi. After a while, the player suddenly frowned as if remembering something, and exclaimed in surprise, "God of Slaughter, are you Instakill?"

"Hmm?" Huang Yi’s eyebrows lifted. After winning the Best Newcomer Award, almost the whole world recognized his face. Unless he could quickly reach level 60 and undergo another evolution to transform into a new form, it would be hard to prevent others from recognizing him.

"Yes! Don’t worry! I won’t steal your kill!" Huang Yi nodded and said from a distance.

"Alright! Thank you, Brother Instakill!" The player immediately felt reassured. He obviously trusted someone of Huang Yi’s caliber a lot. They were world-famous experts who generally valued their reputation and wouldn’t engage in despicable acts like stealing someone’s kill.

Afterward, the player began to focus on attacking the warrior, alternating between becoming invisible and suddenly appearing, and using blink, demonstrating exquisite assassin skills.

That’s how an assassin should be: unpredictable and moving in mysterious ways, making it hard to grasp his silhouette. Huang Yi was seeing such a strong assassin for the first time. He estimated that among China’s players, probably only Dragon Spike could surpass this assassin, and it would be difficult to find another assassin this strong.

After a while, the player finally overcame the warrior with his strong combat abilities and killed him, turning the warrior into a pile of ashes.

The warrior’s strength was formidable, a notch higher in difficulty than the last 45-level challenge. The further one goes, the harder the challenges become. Huang Yi guessed that after a few more challenges, the number of people worldwide who could clear them at the same level would dwindle down to a few, probably only Dao Feng and the likes could manage, while the rest would have to be many levels higher to defeat them.

Next, the player placed his palm on the ashes, absorbed the Essence of Combat, and learned the level 55 skill. Then, he walked over to Huang Yi, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Brother Instakill, for backing me just now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to concentrate on defeating this warrior."

"No need to be polite!" Huang Yi nodded and asked, "You are very strong; I have never seen such a strong assassin before with my own eyes. Are you Mirror Broken, Seeking Flowers, or Nameless?" Huang Yi mentioned these three names because they were among the Four Great Assassins of China, second only to Dragon Spike. Among the Four Great Assassins, there was also Dragon Dominates the World from the Xuanyuan Clan, someone Huang Yi had already met, and clearly, the person before him was not him.

"Ah? I didn’t expect you to guess right away!" The player laughed happily, "I am Nameless, pleased to meet you!" After saying this, he took out a business card and handed it to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi received the business card, which had a simple content with only a name on it, nothing else - as simple as Huang Yi’s own business card.

Huang Yi also took out one of his business cards and passed it to Nameless.

Nameless accepted the offer with surprise, scratched his head, and said with a chuckle, "Brother Instakill, I hold you in high regard! I’ve been in The Second World for two years now, but you’ve only been here for a few months and have already achieved so much. Do you have any plans to create a Guild? Count me in!" Having said that, he looked at Huang Yi with anticipation.

"Yes! I’ll probably establish a Guild in about a month or so!" Huang Yi was equally surprised. What he needed most now were talented individuals, and Nameless was listed as one of China’s Four Great Assassins, a rare talent indeed, perfect for early recruitment. As long as he was unaware of some organizational secrets and was treated as an ordinary member, his background wouldn’t be that important. After all, every organization yearned for talent, but it was impossible to thoroughly understand the background of each person.

"I’m quite lazy; creating a Guild is too troublesome, so I thought of just joining one for fun. The Xuanyuan Clan already has ’Dragon Dominates the World’, and I don’t want to go there. The Hall of Famous Generals has ’Seeking Flowers’, and I’m not interested in that either. The rest of the Guilds don’t appeal to me. Only people like you and Thunder God catch my eye," explained Nameless.

"When I create the Guild, I will call you. Welcome to join," Huang Yi said as he stored Nameless’s card in his storage ring. "I’m off to challenge the Warrior now."

"Great! I’ll back you up, ensuring no one can disturb you!" Nameless nodded immediately.

Next, Huang Yi, carrying the hammer, initiated a battle against one of the Warriors. He had observed Nameless’s battle with the Warrior earlier, familiarizing himself with the Warrior’s offensive mode, allowing his attacks to be fluid and safe without any danger.

If Nameless’s attacks were previously described as extremely crafty and skillful, Huang Yi’s current approach appeared straightforward, devoid of any superfluous movements or ghostly motions. He was engaging in a very natural form of combat, profoundly reflecting the saying that the most substantial sword has no edge and the greatest skill looks effortless.

It wasn’t long before Huang Yi successfully killed the Warrior.

The Warrior’s body turned to ashes, crumbling into a pile of red bone dust on the ground. Huang Yi pressed his palm down on it, and immediately a red Energy coursed through his arm into his body.

[System Prompt]: Congratulations, you have learned the Judge Class’s Level 55 Skill [Heavy Judgment].

[Heavy Judgment]: A powerful single-target attack skill that consumes 30 points of Rage. It enhances your next Normal Attack, giving it 300% Attack Power. Enemies killed by Heavy Judgment cannot be revived by Revival Skills, and upon killing an enemy, you absorb their Essence of Life, restoring 20% of your Health Points.

Now, Huang Yi finally began to possess the strength for single-target attacks!

Although the Judge was a class brimming with brutal Strength, Huang Yi had initially chosen a versatile class. Up until now, the Judge class’s skills covered a range of aspects, including control, counter-control, and rush tactics, with only one attack skill, which was Judgment. However, Judgment was an area-of-effect skill, not very effective in one-on-one battles. What Huang Yi lacked most was the power to fight solo, but this skill gave him just that. It enhanced his Normal Attack by 300%. Since his Attack Power was already formidable, tripling it meant that most couldn’t withstand it.

However, this skill had some flaws. First was the Rage consumption, the highest of all his skills at 30 points. Even when Huang Yi’s Rage was full, he could only use it a few times.

Secondly, the skill only increased Attack Power by 300%, not causing the enemy to sustain 300% Attack damage. These two effects were quite different. Increasing Attack Power meant that after hitting the enemy, their Defense Attribute had to be considered. Those with high Defense might significantly reduce the damage inflicted. On the other hand, pure damage would ignore the enemy’s Defense, and Huang Yi’s Aeonic Plague Effect worked precisely this way, inflicting damage equivalent to 10% of his Attack Power every second, disregarding the enemy’s Defense Attribute.

Lastly, there was a problem with redundancy in this skill’s additional effect. This effect was nearly the same as the Devouring Attribute in his Orange Weapon, but with a more notable increase, recovering 20% of Health Points after killing an enemy. However, this additional effect was less impactful for Huang Yi since the Devouring Attribute from his Orange Weapon was already sufficient.

Afterward, Huang Yi said goodbye to Nameless and logged off to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

"Ah-Yi, you’re here too!" Just as he reached the entrance to the cafeteria, Huang Yi heard Louis’s voice.

"Louis, long time no see, have you completed the Rare Quest?" Huang Yi asked.

Louis was brimming with excitement and nodded, "Done!"

"What’s your Rare Race and Class then?"

"It’s related to what I love!" Louis grinned even more joyfully, "My Rare Race is the Volcano Dwarf, adept at crafting gunpowder and cannons, and my class is Cannon Master! A very powerful long-range attack class!"

"Nice, it matches perfectly with what you’re good at!" Huang Yi was happy for him too.

"Right! Once I level up, I’ll show you what a Goblin Missile is like!" Louis declared, thumping his chest.

"How many people in our prison have completed the Rare Quest now?"

"Not many so far, just over forty people, I guess!" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Ticket and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
