Chapter 1004 I Died?

"Bastards!" Shen Yue gritted her teeth. She and the rest of the guild group came to a complete halt as they suddenly found themselves fully surrounded by people on all sides.

The weird part was that these people were quite well-geared when compared to the rest of the troops of the sixth battalion.

Just like other Crimson Abyss guild members, Shen Yue had also paid close attention to all the members of their battalion while they were still standing in the assembly gathering, so she recognized some of these faces.

They did not belong to any single guild. Rather they were dispersed in various guilds, the only common link being that all these people had above-average fighting gear.

However, a big portion of these people were from Assassin's Alliance guild. Shen Yue immediately recognized the vice-leader Elijah who stood amidst the black-clothed men.

Even with their face covered, the man had a peculiar pair of daggers that were curved, which had caught her attention earlier.

"So the Assassin's Alliance is colluding with them." Shen Yue's gaze turned cold. She knew this was one of the guilds Liam favored, which made her extra furious.

Shen Yue was normally a kind and compassionate person who seldom had problems with others or held grudges, or even became angry. She believed in forgiving. Live and let live!

However, right now, what these people were doing was absolutely unforgivable even for her.

The fate of the entire world rested in this battle and the next one, which also needed to be inevitably fought to clear these red zones from the face of the earth. But what do these scum do?

They, instead, focus on petty rivalries and personal vendettas. Instead of standing united and shooting down the common enemy, they use this chance to settle old scores.

Shen Yue's green-color ison blood-soaked daggers shone with a mysterious glint as her figure nimbly disappeared.

Surprisingly, she had not activated [Stealth] or any skill that was similar to [Stealth]. Rather she had mastered the ability to push her agility to such an extent that she could appear invisible for a short period of time when needed.

Of course, this also required the other party's level to be appropriately low, which in this case, it was. After all, these past few days, Crimson Abyss had undergone hellish training, which these people absolutely had no idea about!

Shen Yue's figure disappeared, and the next second, she was standing behind the core member of the Assassin's Alliance, Elijah, the guild vice-leader.

The other party was also a close combat fighter with fast reflexes, but at this moment, neither his talent nor his item could hold a candle to Shen Yue.

With the speed with which she reacted, the man was completely unaware of her presence. Elijah was thoroughly enjoying himself, watching all the Crimson Abyss players scramble to stand together.

"He He He. No formation is going to save you bitches today!" He sneered in contempt, which clearly stemmed from jealousy.

This was a grudge that he had nursed for a long time. Both Crimson Abyss and Assassin's Alliance were guilds from the same kingdom, and yet while Crimson Abyss always soared high in the sky, they could only watch on from the depths of mediocrity.

This was not acceptable. Their guild was one of the top guilds in every single game that was released up until now. They were the top dogs, not this makeshift guild that came out of nowhere and relied on a single guy and a bunch of women.

This was another sore point for Elijah. He had been single for most of his life, but the hateful guy who was accused of handing out slave contracts to women had a bunch of beautiful women flocking towards him all the time.

With all these small things and the way Liam had dicked around the guild and stolen the golems that belonged to them, everything slowly began to build up and formed a big scar in his heart that could never be healed.

Unlike Abraki, who was a spineless coward, Elijah was not someone who was going to pull his pants down and display his ass for Liam to screw over. He was going to pay back everything a hundredfold! A thousandfold!

All the insults, all the failures, all the disappointments… He wanted to make it all even right now and here. If he lets this chance slip, there would not be another chance like this.

Already he had let things go too far. If he sits on his ass and takes no action, soon, just like back inside the game, Crimson Abyss might really become an Overlord in the real world as well.

Elijah knew that he absolutely could never let that happen. His cold eyes searched for the perfect target to assassinate. 

There was Alex, the redhead vice-guild leader, but she was a star of the show. Several eyes were on her, which made her a bad target.

There was Rey, her brother. There were some new talented players, many juicy targets. But Elijah really wanted to hit Liam where it hurt.

He wanted to make him a mere husk of the man he always pretended to be. He wanted to destroy him completely, and for that, Elijah knew the perfect target.

It was the young girl with the emerald crown!

She not only had a legendary item on her person, but she was also rumored to be very close to Liam. Some even speculated that they were siblings.

Elijah licked his lips as he decided his target. Today he was going to take two things away from Liam. "You are going to be sorry that you did not show up today." He sneered and moved.

He still did not have a [Stealth] skill, but his level was close to 30, and he had also put a lot of stats in agility. This, coupled with his natural physique that he had trained hard, made him a competent assassin, stealth or not.

So he was quite confident in his ability to take down a person once he had them locked on, and now he had locked onto Mei Mei. With a vicious grin, Elijah made his move.

He was like a viper in the jungle that leaped towards its meal. His movements were sharp and resolute.

Or at least they should have been.

However, Elijah found that, for some reason, his body today was sluggish. Very sluggish. It was not listening to him. He was not moving?

The assassin's cold gaze flickered in confusion as he found himself suddenly staring at the sky. No, not at the sky but a mesmerizingly beautiful face under the sky.

His heart skipped a beat. As blood gushed out of his throat and his head rolled on the ground, all he could think about was that beautiful face as he let out his last breath.

I died?
