"puuu"
"Hm?" Before the guard of the successor of the Jade Beast cult could react, a sword came flying his way from behind.
NPC guard: Nickolas
Rank: warrior, level 6
Class: guardian
HP: 4,500/5,000
The strike landed and took a large chunk of the guard's health; at the same rank, NPCs and players had lower HP than monsters, but they compensated with skill and intelligence.
Just as Wilder landed, he jumped back into the forest with full speed; the assassin class was the pinnacle of speed.
*Class: Assassin

Features of the class

Wilder jumped into the forest in hopes that the guard of the successor would follow, but unfortunately it was adamant on guarding the cave entrance.
The only difference now was that it was on high alert.
Wilder circled around the forest as fast as he could. The heavy classes had very high recovery rates, so he had to make sure that they wouldn't get the chance to recover.
"woosh"-
Once again Wilder attacked it, but this time it caused minuscule damage. The chances of heavy damage were not constant.
"come! Come! Come!" The guardian kept saying, in a rather cold and robotic voice, it didn't seem normal even by high heaven standards, as most NPCs were very advanced and spoke like normal people.
"Something must be wrong with this one," Wilder mused, but he didn't stop attacking.
He would jump into attack and retreat once again; this was his strategy, and it was actually working.
At least, that was until
"Save successor! Save successor!" The guardian ran into the cave to regroup with the successor as soon as his HP fell to a certain level.
"shit!" Wilder didn't waste any time; he immediately gave chase upon seeing the guard run into the cave.
The assassin class would only be useful in a one-on-one situation; if he regrouped with the successor, it would be a very big problem.
The cave was quite dark, the atmosphere was humid, and there was a very bad stench coming from a light source in the distance.
The guardian didn't slow down one bit as he ran towards the light source.
Luckily, heavy classes like guardians were quite slow, so Wilder ended up weakening it quite a bit.
But eventually the guardian got to the successor.
"hm?" As soon as Wilder reached the light source, he observed that it is a hallow cave with a small pool in the middle, and the jade beast cult's successor was completely naked and In front of him was a sort of shrine adorned with several beast parts and tree leaves.
"A ritual?" Wilder mused as he looked carefully at the guardian with the sides of his eyes.
"block him!!" All of a sudden, the successor, who looked very surprised by what was happening, commanded
The guardian lounged itself at Wilder despite his HP being dangerously low; a command from the successor was a command he could not Disobey.
Seeing the guardian rush towards him, Wilder tried to dodge.
bang," but he still received some impact.
It was all too sudden, but Wilder survived.
A normal assassin would probably lose a lot of HP from that, but Wilder was far from normal.
With his defense at 1000, he could be considered a monster, even though he was using the Assassin class.
"Bang bang," Wilder kept dodging attack after attack, but for some reason the guardian, who was at the edge of collapsing previously, was now regaining some momentum.
"hm? A healer class?" Wilder frowned upon seeing the strange gestures of the successor.
He didn't seem like it though, but when Wilder tried to check his class, it gave him this
NPC: Lucas Gelfield
Rank: warrior level 2
Class: ???
HP: 600/600

I have to take him down first," Wilder thought in his mind as he sprinted towards the successor with his sword.
But upon doing that the guardian gave chase, Wilder only needed to give the successor one critical strike to take him down, but it was a gamble as the critical strikes didn't always work.
"clang"
Struck at the Jade Beast cult successor, but unfortunately it wasn't a critical hit. The good thing was that he was pushed onto the shrine, causing him and the shrine to fall into the pool.
"Save successor! Save successor" The guardian screamed as it jumped into the pool.
"What the hell, men, are you brain dead?!?" Wilder screamed not because the guardian ran into the pool but because it took him in with him.
Now, wilder was dangling inside the pool with both of them
After a While, Wilder regained his composure and scanned his surrounding
A stunned expression appeared on his face as he looked at it: This pool was very deep; it was to the point that Wilder couldn't even see the bottom.
Soon he spotted the successor and swam towards it

Wilder sighed in relief.
In front of him were two corpses: one was the guardian, and the other was the Jade Beast cult's successor, or you could say ex-successor of the Jade Beast cult.
He had succeeded in dealing with both of them inside the pool, and finally he got the inheritance.
"Hm," said Wilder, holding a scroll in his hand as he inspected it.
But all of a sudden
