As expected, the Demons were all weakened warriors. Their levels may be high, but their overall strength were equivalent to a Lv10 player. With Sato's current abilities and stats, it is more than doable to kill them.
Sato readied his rusted twin blades as he slowly creeped up behind their backs. The Demon Warriors here did not know that they were now the prey instead of the hunter.
The assassin waited for Blink to go off cooldown before using it. The man appeared behind the two warriors instantly as he used Dagger Throw on the two of them. One of the warrior had been inflicted with critical strike. Assassinate. The critically damage Demon was instantly killed.
"You have gained 200 experience points."
"You have leveled up. You have leveled up."
The other warrior tumbled away from the surprise attack. He quickly whipped out his jagged blade sword as he ran towards Sato. With his quick agility, the assassin leaped sideways as he once again slices forward, taking away another chunk of health. The warrior left his back wide open, allowing for Sato to attack once again, before using Assassinate to end his life.
"You have gained 200 experience points."
"You have leveled up." After killing the two warriors, Sato had reached Lv4. This was extremely fast as it gets even harder as your level increases.
Looting the bodies of the Demons got him 500 gold and a leather Shoulder plate to which he equipped on himself. It was a good harvest. Sato then jumped within the trees and hid himself. He waited.
As expected, a group of three Demons reached soon after. They were shocked at the scene of their two dead comrades. "Who did this?! You shall pay!"
"Calm down Ronan, we should tell Captain first before exacting revenge for them." A Demon stopped the angry Ronan from running rampage.
"Alright. Let's go now!" The then ran towards the waterfall before disappearing within it. So this was where they set up camp to hide from the humans, thought Sato. On the other hand, he was rather worried after looking at the stats of Ronan the Demon.
*Ronan the Demon (Weakened by the Poison of the Great Sage)
*Lv40
*HP: 500 / 500
*Mana: 200 / 200
*Active Skill:
Flaming Fist - Throws a flurry of 10 flaming attacks that has a 5% chance of inflicting burn damage.
*Ronan specialises in close combat fights and is the captain's right hand man in this mission. He had it's stats weakened by 80% due to the poison that circulated in their body for a long time.
His damage output was definitely higher than the other 2 warriors beside him. In addition, if Ronan was this strong, what would the captain's strength be? He needed a plan.
Looking around his surroundings, he saw 7 players fighting a Lv8 Roaring Wind Tiger. It may be fighting alone, but it could hold its own ground quite well. Still, the players were very organised, showing that this isn't their first time playing this game. They were slowly chipping down the tiger's health.
Ever since Sato became an Elf, his persona has changed and now he is "no longer" human. Due to his new found abilities, there was more advantage in saving the beast than helping the humans out. Running back to the waterfall, he executed his well-thought out plan.
"Hey comrades, I recently killed two Demons near this waterfall! They were so weak that they couldn't even lay one finger on me! They were even begging me for mercy as I slitted their throats! Hahahaha!" Sato shouted out loud enough that the Demons under the waterfall could hear him. They were infuriated as a group of 5 Demons charged out towards Sato.
"You shall pay for this, puny humans! Mark my words, I, Ronan shall be the one that behead you and your family members!" The mad and furious right hand man led his group of Demons and chased after Sato. Since, Sato's speed was faster than everyone, naturally he was just leading them into a bait.
As he reached the group of player's proximity, he immediately activated his Advanced Stealth and hid among the trees. The two groups eventually runs into each other.
"You bunch of scoundrels! I will kill all of you!" The furious Ronan and the other warriors leapt toward them while drawing this weapons. They were red with anger. Of course, the players had no idea why they were being attacked. However, it was between being killed or to retaliate, which they chose the latter.
A big fight blew up. Both sides were relatively even, however the Demons, having more health from the start were at an advantage. The beast that was fought against started limping aside. He was on death's bed. Sato quickly appeared before the poor injured kitty as it started taking out some berrys which he found to have healing properties.
"Eat these and you will feel better." Sato placed the fruits in it's mouth as the tiger grunted from the pain. The healing effects started showing after a short while.
"Become my pet and I will protect you. I was the one that helped you out of this situation previously." The tiger did not take much time to consider before accepting his proposal.
"The Roaring Wind Tiger has been tamed by you and became your pet." The notification noted his feat.
"Would you like to give your pet a name?"
"Whitie." He got the name from the soft pure fur of his pet. Whitie gave a growl in approval.
*Whitie (Roaring Wind Tiger) (Trusting)
*Lv8
*Strength: 20
*Agility: 40
*Intelligence: 10
*Stamina: 20
*Health: 200 / 200
*Mana: 100 / 100
*Active Skills:
Wind's Wrath - The tiger's roar calls upon the wind to slice five sharp gales onto it's enemies. Deals 100% physical damage to enemies.
*Passive Skills:
One With The Wind - Gain 200% extra movement speed when out of combat.
The tiger instantly recovered to full health when he got tamed by Sato. He purred in satisfaction. The two then waited in the bush for the optimum time to strike.
Currently, 3 Demons have been killed by the players, while 5 of the humans were dead and forced to respawn in the village. They were losing badly now. Other than the health of Ronan which was around 70% full, the rest of the Demons were more or less around 20%.
Sato used Blink towards the lowest health Demon as he used Assassinate. It was fast and silent. The enemies had yet to realise. The elf then used Dagger Throw to drop the health of the Demon beside him. Once again Assassinate cleanly severed his head off. Sato then leaped forward and sliced the two Demons infront with his blade, followed by two more instant kills. The whole process lasted for 5 seconds. By the time Ronan discovers Sato, his team had already been vanquished. It was simply too fast.
"You have leveled up!"
"You have learnt a new Passive Skill "Backstab". Whenever you attack an enemy from behind, you will have a 50% chance of critical strike."
"You are that person from before!" Ronan pointed at Sato with anger, his veins were popping out from his head. On the other hand, the humans were clueless of the whole situation. "I will kill you right now!"
Ronan charged forward with his two-handed sword. His biceps were bulging crazily as he sliced downwards onto Sato. Sato activated Blink, dashing behind Ronan. Using his newfound passive, he sliced downwards. Luckily it inflicted critical damage and it cause his to reach 30% health.
Furious, Ronan dropped his blade into the ground and activated Flaming Fist as a torrent of flaming punches landed on Sato. He tried blocking a few shots with his dagger, yet it still did chunk 20% of Sato's health.
"Interesting." Sato realised that he could actually see the shots fired by Ronan quite cleary. He decided to try it out. As Ronan once again used Flaming Fist, Sato stood still and waited for him to approach.
"You are courting death!" Shouted Ronan. His fists were just about to touch the elf, yet strangely enough, he had missed. Not only that, he had zero contact whatsoever during the 10 whole punches. This was what Sato was trying out. He realised that his reaction speed had increased dramatically after he had changed classes. Now, he could actually dodge many moves.
"Bye bye."
"No!!!" Sato used Blink for the last time as he used Dagger Throw, followed by Assassinate to end Ronan's life.
