Night Roaming God?

The name left several guild leaders momentarily stunned.

They had never heard of such an expert before.

Judging by the ID format, he was not a member of any guild either.

So where had he come from?

The other players immediately became worked up upon hearing Dragon Soaring World's words.

"Good, good, good. So you're called Night Roaming God. Don't let me catch you, brat."

"Come to think of it, I saw someone attack from afar and immediately disappear. Could that have been this so-called Night Roaming God?"

"If he can use stealth, he should be an Assassin. I'm an Assassin too, so why don't I have stealth? Do games have to discriminate too? I'm exhausted."

"I'm an Assassin-class hidden profession. I have stealth, but after being revealed, I have to wait for the skill cooldown. How can that Night Roaming God enter stealth seamlessly? What's the trick?"

"No need to think about it. He's definitely cheating. By the way, bro, are you sure about this?"

"Did Dragon Soaring World give up this BOSS because he wants to befriend Night Roaming God? What a spineless move."

"Exactly. A mere Night Roaming God—I could crush him with a flip of my hand!"

"Uh, brother, can you withstand an attack that deals over nine hundred damage?"

Qin Chuan paid no attention to the other players' remarks. Dragon Soaring World's words, however, made him smile knowingly.

Sure enough, he was still the Dragon Soaring World Qin Chuan remembered.

As for Dragon Soaring World revealing his name, Qin Chuan did not care.

Once he claimed the BOSS's first kill, he would not hide his ID anyway. The other players would find out regardless.

It was only a matter of time.

What Dragon Soaring World had made clear was that neither he nor the entire Dragon Soaring Guild wished to become Qin Chuan's enemy.

As he pondered, Qin Chuan threw out another Shadow Flying Dagger.

-976! (Weakness Attack)

The Wild Rabbit BOSS's Health Bar dropped by another small segment.

The players who had been lying in wait at the location of Qin Chuan's previous attack discovered that he had appeared even farther away, and they could not help feeling that they had wasted their efforts.

What were they even waiting here for?

That was an Assassin who could use stealth.

Quite a few players began considering retreat.

They could not even break the BOSS's defense. They had stayed only to gamble on their chances.

But now, Night Roaming God had basically secured the right to the loot. Staying here was simply wasting time; they might as well go level up.

Still, some guilds were unwilling to give up.

The burly man with the ID [Rakshasa One-Slash] said disdainfully, "Just because he can use stealth, he thinks he's something special? Force him out for me!"

Whoosh... Bang!

An arrow shot into the air and exploded into a dazzling ball of light.

Qin Chuan recognized the skill at a glance.

The signature skill of Archers: Flare.

It was the nemesis of the Assassin class.

"Looks like there are hidden experts among the other players too. I can't underestimate them."

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Yet he was not panicked in the slightest.

It was true that Flares countered Assassins, but there was a prerequisite: skill priority.

When skills were of the same tier, the higher-level skill held the advantage.

For instance, an LV1 Flare could not reveal LV2 Stealth.

If they were the same level, it came down to luck.

Beyond that, it was a comparison of skill tiers.

Qin Chuan's Shadow Stealth had evolved and was already Black Iron tier.

Unless a Common Tier Flare was raised above Level 4, it would have absolutely no effect on him!

Thus, this Flare did nothing except blind the other players.

Rakshasa One-Slash's smile froze on his face.

Where was Night Roaming God?

He looked toward the player beside him, who was equally dumbfounded and shouted, "My Flare is already LV3! How could it fail to reveal an Assassin? He is definitely cheating!"

Qin Chuan could not help looking at that Hunter player.

This guy had some skill. The server had only just opened, yet he had already raised a skill to LV3.

Many players would need several days before even their main damage skills could level up. Yet this guy had upgraded his within half an hour of the server opening. He must have found something good, or perhaps had a talent bonus.

Qin Chuan did not pay it much mind.

Apocalypse was far too vast. Even with memories from his rebirth, it was impossible for him to seize every opportunity.

All he needed to do was claim the most important opportunities. That would be enough.

Like the Exotic Beast Skull.

No matter how high a skill's level was, if its tier did not improve, it would always fall short.

Still, this incident gave Qin Chuan a warning.

He did have the advantage of getting ahead first, but he could not become complacent. Only by charging forward relentlessly could he ultimately change his fate!

Steadying himself, Qin Chuan looked at Rakshasa One-Slash but ultimately did not attack.

There was no need to waste a valuable opportunity to deal damage on him.

He would be better off attacking the Wild Rabbit BOSS.

He had not yet accumulated fifty percent decisive damage, so he could not waste his output.

The spectators waited for a long time without seeing Night Roaming God, then began mocking them without mercy.

"What Rakshasa Hall? All talk and no skill."

"Keep your eyes open, everyone. Don't join a useless guild like this in the future."

"If you're bad, practice more."

Rakshasa One-Slash was so angry that his face turned red. He glared viciously at the Hunter beside him and snapped, "Did you hear that? Go back and practice more!"

The Hunter felt rather aggrieved.

What did this have to do with him?

The other side clearly had a stronger trump card.

This lousy guild was truly boring.

Not far away, Dragon Soaring World watched Rakshasa One-Slash and the Hunter, his eyes gleaming.

He could barely resist the urge to poach the Hunter.

But then again, Night Roaming God was actually unafraid of an LV3 Flare. That was important information.

Could his Stealth skill also be LV3, or even LV4?

Or perhaps it was not his skill level that was high, but its tier.

In just a few moments, Dragon Soaring World analyzed a great deal of information and found Night Roaming God increasingly unfathomable.

An expert like this had to be avoided at all costs, even if he could not be recruited into the guild!

The party members behind Dragon Soaring World were convinced as well.

They had initially felt somewhat frustrated. After all, this was the first BOSS in Newbie Village, yet their guild leader had simply given it up.

But after seeing Rakshasa One-Slash's predicament, they suddenly felt their guild leader had been remarkably farsighted.

With Night Roaming God around, they truly had little chance.

Their Hunter did not have an LV3 Flare.

And even if he did, what use would it be?

Dragon Soaring World called out to Rakshasa One-Slash, "One-Slash, be careful when you walk at night from now on. Don't let Night Roaming God take you away."

Rakshasa One-Slash looked angry, but he was uneasy inside as well.

Night Roaming God dealt nearly a thousand damage even to the BOSS. If he targeted him, would he not be killed in a single strike?

Thinking of that, Rakshasa One-Slash quietly instructed, "Keep your eyes peeled. Don't let anyone get close. You, fire another Flare."

Whoosh... Bang!

The ball of light appeared once more.

Yet after waiting a long time, Rakshasa One-Slash did not receive a fatal attack. Instead, the Wild Rabbit BOSS's Health Bar in the distance dropped by another small segment.

Rakshasa One-Slash felt conflicted.

It was good that Night Roaming God had not instantly killed him.

But the other party's actions clearly showed that he was not worth their attention at all.

Being ignored was more hurtful than being instantly killed.
