Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

At that moment.

Neither Riverlo nor Lolo noticed anything wrong.

The shadow moved extremely fast, it was too eerie and concealed, impossible for an average person to notice.

"Thud!"

John casually blocked it, making a loud collision sound.

The shadow was pulled out by John and nailed to a big tree nearby.

At this point, Riverlo and Lolo just reacted.

On the tree, there was a jet-black dagger nailed into the trunk, appearing extremely sharp.

In a while.

The trunk began to turn black, and the entire tree began to wither.

"What a powerful poison!" 

Riverlo exclaimed with an after-fright look, sternly asking, "Who's there?"

In the forest, there were only the sounds of rustling leaves.

No one responded.

Lolo immediately said, 

"Brother! Galewind! Be careful!"

"Before you guys came here, there was another vice guild leader in the Wolf Guild called Wolf Howl... he's a formidable assassin, definitely still hiding nearby!"

John glanced in the direction where the shadow had come from, saying, 

"Hmm, this is getting interesting."

Riverlo immediately took out his bow and arrow, and Whitty also entered a state of alert, barking towards the surroundings.

John patted Riverlo's shoulder, saying, 

"Don't worry too much, leave this guy to me."

Riverlo warned, 

"John, you absolutely cannot underestimate this Wolf Howl. The reason why their Wolf Guild can be so arrogant, making enemies everywhere without fear, is because their guild leader and vice guild leader are both extremely powerful!"

"I heard they specialize in killing higher level players with lower levels, possessing a lot of weird Equip and items. If one is not careful, they could be killed by these two!"

John appeared nonchalant:

"Specialize in killing higher-level players with lower levels?"

"Yes."

"No matter how strange the method is, it's useless in front of absolute strength."

With that, he extended a finger.

Then, pointing towards a direction in the forest, he gently tapped.

"Ah!"

A painful scream subsequently echoed from the forest.

The corners of John's confident face rose slightly: "Got him."

With that, he chased after him.

Into the shadows of the forest.

The shadow of a large tree gradually transformed into a human shape.

It was Wolf Howl.

His initial talent was extremely powerful, allowing him to conceal himself in the shadow of any object.

Moreover, he was lucky to have met a legendary assassin, becoming the disciple of that assassin and unlocking the hidden profession — Shadow Killer.

All along, Wolf Howl relied on his powerful initial talents and skills, always winning in various battles.

Even if there were some extremely powerful opponents, Wolf Howl didn't need to confront them head-on.

All he had to do was hide in the shadows and find ways to ambush.

As an assassin, aim for the enemy's vital point, kill in one hit!

This was a phrase often said by Wolf Howl's NPC teacher.

But today.

This phrase seemed to have lost its efficacy.

Wolf Howl had hidden in the shadows, timing his fatal strike.

Why did it fail this time?

"This talent is not bad, a pity it's been obtained by someone like you."

John's voice came from ahead of Wolf Howl.

Wolf Howl glared at him, asking, 

"How did you find me? My talent's concealment ability is the strongest, never been discovered by anyone!"

John pointed to his own eyes and said, "Very simple, any illusions or blinding techniques can't escape these eyes."

With the "Eyes of Artemis", what he was best at was dealing with stealth skills.

Wolf Howl drew his dagger, told John, 

"Don't think you can defeat me just by seeing through my shadow hiding skill! To become the vice guild leader of the Wolf Guild, I rely on more than just ambushing!"

"Shadow Flash Kill!"

Upon Wolf Howl's roar, he transformed into dozens of rapidly moving shadows.

The dark and quiet forest provided him with many hiding places for this skill, making his figure even more elusive and difficult to grasp!

John smirked, saying,

"Boring."

He didn't even look at those rapidly moving shadows, swinging a punch at a particular spot!

Just the gust from the punch sent Wolf Howl's real body flying!

John purposely restrained his power this time, so the punch didn't kill Wolf Howl instantly. 

He immediately followed, moving even faster than Wolf Howl who was thrown away by him!

He caught Wolf Howl from mid-air before he hit a tree, then forcefully pressed him to the ground.

"In my eyes, you're no different from an ant."

"The skills you're proud of are useless to me, they're like the pathetic tricks of a foolish clown."

"Do you understand the gap between you and me now?"

Without waiting for his answer, John picked him up and brought him directly to Riverlo and Lolo.

John threw him to the ground, stepping on his chest, and said to Riverlo,

"This is the vice guild leader of the Wolf Guild."

"Using stealth skills in front of me, it's like a novice trying to teach an expert."

Seeing how strong John was, Riverlo laughed and said, 

"Yeah, you've always been excellent at the assassinating in previous games. You're still an assassin in 'Godslayer', right? In front of an assassin like you, this guy is indeed a novice trying to teach an expert."

Wolf Howl, who was stepped on the ground, felt humiliated.

His anger surged, veins bulging out, but he was utterly powerless against John's strength.

"I'll leave this one to you," John said to Riverlo, "Didn't these Wolf Guild guys say they wanted to torture you properly? Now that I've locked this guy, he can't forcefully exit the game, how you deal with him is up to you."

Lolo also looked at Riverlo, saying, "Brother, I know you have a good temperament, but these people are utterly wicked! You can't just let them go like this!"

Riverlo gave Lolo a reassuring look.

Then, Riverlo looked down at Wolf Howl who couldn't move, saying, "Your Wolf Guild is filled with evildoers, and you and your guild leader are even more so... I'm not planning to let you go."

Hearing these words.

Wolf Howl on the ground laughed.

Riverlo frowned, "Why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your overconfidence!" 

Knowing he had no way out, Wolf Howl let loose, "You think by capturing me, you can stand against the Wolf Guild? Our guild leader is the true powerhouse!"

He turned his head towards John, his eyes full of hatred and killing intent.

"You're Galewind, right? I'll remember that! Enjoy your days of arrogance while you can! Next, you will face the boundless fury of our guild leader!"

This piqued John's interest.

He smirked, "So, your guild leader is much stronger than you? Enough to make you confident he can defeat me?"

"Heh, of course!" Wolf Howl sneered, "There's a huge gap between me and our guild leader! Don't think you're invincible because you're fast and can see through my stealth... our guild leader is a counter to assassins!"

"Wait for it, wait until our guild leader comes, and see how he will slaughter you!"

John's eyes narrowed, his gaze becoming colder.

Seeing John's displeasure, Riverlo quickly said, 

"Just kill him. This guy is all bark and no bite!"

John shook his head, telling Riverlo, 

"Don't worry, I'm not angry. He's just trash, not worth my anger."

"Well then, I might as well clean up a mess for once," John said, cracking his neck and speaking coldly, 

"The Wolf Guild, right? Normally, I wouldn't bother with your messy affairs, if it weren't for Riverlo being an old friend, your arrogance would be none of my business..."

"But now, I do find it quite interesting, to kill your entire guild down to level 0."

John's tone grew increasingly icy.

Even Riverlo and Lolo felt a shiver down their spines.

Wolf Howl on the ground was completely intimidated by John's imposing aura.

He dared not utter another word.
