A qualified thief must not only be proficient in concealment and assassination, but also be good at disguising himself.
Love, undoubtedly a good thief and a good disguiser, takes to the streets every day with a different face to buy groceries, listen to information, and search for suitable targets.
In fact, she had long wanted to leave Oni City, where there were too many dangerous targets that were watching her, such as the Earl in the castle, the mysterious Oriental who was hiding in the shadows, a high-ranking mage outside the city, and now there were some more disgusting worms in the church.
But without the city, she really didn't have a suitable place to go. To the north was the fortress of Seventon, and if she dared to commit a crime there, she was afraid that her head would be hung on the flagpole the next day, which was by no means an exaggeration! Edinburgh in the south, the place was too small, the population was only a few thousand, and there were not many suitable prey.
She is really unfamiliar with the farther away, once she leaves the familiar soil, her hunting activities will definitely not go smoothly, and as a new face, I am afraid that her peers in other places will focus on her first.
Unless you give up this dagger in your hand, Oni City will one day not be able to stay.
But she must admit that she could not refuse the temptation of power, and the promotion that this dagger brought her was by no means a star!
First of all, it was a sturdy and sharp weapon, she had tried to easily pierce two fingers thick iron plates with it, which was even better than her previous Adamantite Dagger with 'Sharp Arts' attached, and secondly, it came with a number of special abilities that allowed her to have dark vision, a level 4 'Dark Magic' once a day, and also to expand her perception range, thanks to these abilities, she was able to carry out the hunt so smoothly and escape the pursuit involving the high-level mage. Last, and most importantly, it communicates with a devil from hell! Thanks to the Earl's blessing, by that feast of 78 pure maidens, she received the gift of the devil called Kerborot, with the help of which the once unattainable third layer of the magic net opened its arms to her!
That's right, she's already a level 3 mage!
However, it takes a lot of time to analyze the spell model, and her original knowledge accumulation is only at the level of level 2, even if it is the simplest and most common 'fireball technique' in level 3 spells, it will take her at least a month to analyze and learn, so even if she reaches level 3, she still can't cast level 3 spells.
But behind so many benefits, she has to pay a lot, 3 souls that reach the level of a professional every day, and 5 souls who are ordinary people. In just over a month, she has killed more people than she had in the past twenty-five years.
If she fails to offer her soul as scheduled, this evil weapon will kick in, and a wave of evil thoughts will enter her body, which will affect her emotions, try to manipulate her, change her, and only blood and soul can calm it.
Abandon it, or leave it for a while? Every day, every night, every time she is free, Love struggles with two answers to this question.
At this time, the dark side of the heart will often prevail, let's kill, don't you just kill a few people? Do you still have less sin on your hands? If you give it up, will those enemies let her go?
So, at night, she would take off her daytime disguise and wander the night with her true face, as a hunter, and select the prey that wandered through the streets.
Today, as usual, as soon as it gets dark, I change into a black tight-fitting suit and follow the familiar route between the bustling hotels and pubs, carefully choosing the right target to start.
Soon, she finds an adventurer who has drunk too much and hides in an alley to pee. This target is wearing a very ordinary dress, a coarse cloth short coat and shorts, and the other two short axes around the waist are also of ordinary material, and he looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, so he should be a fledgling person. Hopefully he's up to pro level!
Without any skill, Love sprang behind his back with a lightning bolt, laughed coquettishly, and stabbed his heart with the Kelberlot Blade as he turned his head in confusion. But she quickly furrowed her pretty cigarette brow, and the dagger told her that it was just an ordinary soul!
"Bah, you're not even a professional, and you dare to come out and be an adventurer!" Love's angry kick kicked his limp corpse into the corner.
"Hey, forget it, let's find a few people who look like professionals. "
Reluctantly, Love walked out of the alley, melted her figure back into the darkness, and continued to search for her target in the streets of Oni City. But she's been hunting people for nearly a month in a row, and the name of 'Night Hunter' is spreading, and not only among the adventurers, but even ordinary civilians know to be careful at night and try not to be left alone, so the right target is getting harder and harder to find.
Perhaps blessed by the devil, she soon spotted two professionals on the street with each other's shoulders. Well, a spellcaster, a warrior.
When she went around to the front and took a closer look, she found that they were all acquaintances! That spellcaster was the special mage who teamed up with Kalianlu a few days ago, and he was also the one who contributed to her girl's feast, so would it be okay to kill him? Is Karinlu familiar with him? Is there a deep intersection?
But when she recognized the identity of another warrior, her previous hesitation about the special mage was immediately replaced by a firm killing intent.
As for their strength, Sheriff John is said to be a level 4 warrior, but the water should be very large, the level of that spellcaster is not easy to say, in the valley actually used a spell comparable to level 4 power, but it definitely can't reach level 4, otherwise the more than 100 cavalry in the valley, two fireball spells, can easily destroy a lot of them, and use them to be in danger?
So, when the two men turned a corner and came to a slightly more secluded road, she struck! As a spellcaster, she knows very well how difficult spells can be.
But who is the prey and who is the hunter?
The special mage who was attacked by Love was of course Austin, he had been on guard, and he also knew that thieves were very good at attacking from behind, so his left hand with the battering ram ring had been quietly aimed behind him, and when he heard the sharp sound of the sharp weapon cutting through the air behind him, he did not hesitate to activate the spell on the ring!
Even if Love is a plump woman, she only weighs 110 pounds, so the force field shockwave released by the battering hammer ring easily knocked her away and made her spit blood, but fortunately she had blessed herself with 'mage armor' in advance, otherwise she would have been seriously injured this time.
"Who?" old John reacted at this time, and quickly drew his long sword to protect Austin behind him, playing the role of a warrior.
"It's the female thief, she just attacked me from behind. Austin quickly explained the situation, but when he tried to find the female thief's trace, he couldn't find the other party, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a pool of blood on the ground, he had to wonder if it was his own delusion.
Old John, of course, believed him, and tried his best to probe around, but he also knew that thieves were good at hiding their tracks, and it was difficult to detect them with the naked eye. But what about Cassano? What about his people? It's been ten seconds before and after, why hasn't he shown up yet? Not only him, but Austin also began to panic because Cassano didn't appear in time to save the scene as agreed, the battering ram ring can be used once a day, and if the other party attacks from behind again, he can only use the talisman spell of 'secondary flame shield', originally he also wanted to keep it with a special bloodline activation method to trigger it to be more powerful in another form.
When Austin was nervous to death, an extremely nice soft voice came into his ears from different directions, "Giggles, good, good, special mage, remember my name is Love, I decided not to let you die too much!"
It's the female thief! This voice Austin had heard before, the last time she was in the sewers. Her name is Love, and I finally know her name.
Perhaps it was really as she said, to make Austen's death unhappy, and the target of her shot again was changed to Old John, which was also another backstab.
And old John has been able to sit in the sheriff's seat for so many years, and some real skills are still there, after realizing that there is an attack from behind, he quickly pounced forward, lay on the ground, and then rolled, face up, and decisively raised his sword to stab a blurred black shadow in mid-air.
Love, who had already put away her contempt, of course would not be stabbed by Old John's slow sword, and with a slight twist of her body slid towards Austin on the other side, the dagger in her hand approaching like a poisonous snake.
Because he was not directly targeted, Austin had plenty of time to react this time, and after thinking about it, he used the zero-level spell 'Flash Technique', which he had barely used, and such a close and sudden situation should have a miraculous effect.
The special mage cast spells quickly, and although Love's attacks were also fast, a blinding flash of light exploded between the two of them before she could do so.
Damn, it's flashing! Love cursed in her heart, but her eyes, accustomed to the darkness, still closed involuntarily, and as for the attack, she had to give up for the time being, and with a light touch on her toes on the ground, she returned from the way she came, and hid in the shadows again.
Austen, who was lucky enough to survive another round, looked anxiously in all directions, Cassano, what about you? Could it be that you really used me and John as bait, and you had to wait until you could make a contribution to the blow before jumping out?
Old John, who got up from the ground, also had such a guess, snorted angrily, and complained to Austin: "Let you believe him, this time we were both sold by him." "
Love, lurking in the shadows, had sharp ears and immediately heard that something was wrong, could it be that the two people in front of her were just bait to lure her into attack?
A huge sense of crisis instantly surged into her heart, and the dagger in her hand also vibrated in time, reminding her that the danger was coming, and the level 4 'dark spell' was instantly cast, and at the same time, she rolled to the side regardless of her image, which saved her life!
Cassano unexpectedly descended from the sky, he pressed the hilt of his sword with both hands, poured it with great force, and smashed it like a thousand pounds of beasts to the place where Love's hiding had just been, and smashed the land into a pit half a meter deep. If Love hadn't dodged it in time, she would have turned into a meatloaf.
"It's all your fault!" Austin glared at John fiercely, if he hadn't spoken out and exposed the fact that he still had helpers on his side, the female thief might have been ambushed.
But the opportunity was fleeting, and the scope of Love's 'dark magic' gradually expanded, and the figures of Cassano, Austin, and Old John were gradually obscured, and in the dark environment where magic was generated, she regained her advantage!
