Chapter 161: Night Fury

Even though Lucas only touched the barrier for a moment, he could tell that the barrier was strong and destroying it would definitely wake the rank 4 Night Cerbeus up from its sleep.

If it wakes up, then the assassination would become difficult and there would be definitely not enough time for him to search for a good rank 4 spirit beast to assassinate.

'No wonder, this spirit beast was in a deep sleep because of the barrier.'

Lucas scoffed at the Night Cerberus and finally understood why the rank 4 Night Cerberus in front of him was sleeping without a care in the world.

'Wait a second.'

Suddenly, Lucas thought of something as he looked at the faint shadow of the Night Cerberus on the ground.

Since the cave had dim light because of the light passing through the small cracks on the grounds, Lucas could see the faint shadow as he thought of something.

'Since I was able to pass through the barriers using the [Shadow jump] before, I think it will work.'

Earlier, Lucas was feeling anxious with the sudden appearance of the barrier because he didn't have enough time to go back and search for other rank 4 spirit beasts to assassinate.

However, he was currently hopeful again as he didn't waste any time before using the skill [Shadow jump]

'Swoosh'

As he expected, Lucas was able to pass through the barrier with that skill and appeared behind the three-headed dog that was still sleeping without a care in the world.

'Let's finish this now.'

Since there were less than 15 minutes before he had to assassinate a rank 4 spirit beast, he no longer wasted any time before using the skill [Shadow clones]

Soon, three clones that looked just like Lucas appeared behind him and Lucas threw three rank 3 daggers to them.

'You go for the necks connecting the three heads of the spirit beast. As for me, I will take care of the heart of the spirit beast.'

Unlike the other spirit beasts, this Night Cerberus could only be killed in a single strike when all three of its heads along with its single heart were pierced or cut at the same time.

Since he had shadow clones, Lucas was confident in assassinating the spirit beast before he could not who killed it.

[Thunder knight's rage]

Soon, his battle prowess increased by two times along with his three shadow clones as they took their places.

'Kill it'

Lucas gave the command to his shadow clones.

'Puchi'

'Slash'

'Slash'

'Slash'

As soon as he gave the command, Lucas pierced through the heart of the Night Cerberus and at the same time his three shadow clones sliced the three necks.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully assassinating the rank 4 Night Cerberus.

'Ding,

The host gained 100 sovereign points and Beast core.

'Huh? A beast core? Looks like my luck is great today.'

Generally, getting additional rewards from his kills was very rare and previously when he killed a rank 4 Jade Lynx, he received an armour whose information he had yet to check.

Now, he received another additional reward, making him reveal a slight smile on his face.

'Ding,

Do you wish to sacrifice the rank 4 Night Cerberus?

'Yes'

While he was muttering about his luck, Lucas received the notification that he was waiting for.

'Ding,

Analyzing and modifying the skills for a general assassin.

'Ding,

Please pick a skill from the following list of skills.

1) Fireblast has been modified into Fire strike

2) Night Fury has remained the same.

..

..

5) Dark barrier has remained the same.

Soon, the lists of skills appeared in front of him.

'Is there much to think about this? I will choose 'Night Fury'.'

The reason he selected the Night Cerberus in the first place was for this skill 'Night Fury' and since there were no new skills from the knowledge he gained about the Night Cerberus, he went with the skill he wanted.

'Ding,

Skill [Night Fury] is added to the host's skills list. Please check them in the user interface.

Within no time, he gained a new skill just like that.

'Let's see about this skill in detail.'

With that thought in his head, Lucas opened the user interface.

'Ding,

Profession:- Assassin.

Current rank:- Tier 1 General Assassin.

Skills:- My prey, Darkwind blades, Lynx master, Night fury.

'Ding,

Skill name:- Night fury (level 1)

Skill effect:- 1) During the nighttime, the user will have two times his original strength (Passive effect).

2) During the nighttime, the user can temporarily increase his strength to three times his original strength for 10 minutes. (Active effect).

'Huh? Two effects?'

Even though Lucas knew that the Night Cerberus's had both effects, he didn't think he would get the first effect of the passive increment of his strength by two times in the nighttime.

'That was a pleasant surprise. This time I gained two great skills.'

Even though almost all his skills are good, the two latest skills had better effects than he originally thought.

So, of course, he was satisfied with his current trip. 

'Ding,

The Heaven ranked evil spirit beast noticed the death of one of its favourite pets and will be opening an evil portal in this cave any time now.

'Ding,

The dark cave is currently sealed by that Heaven ranked evil spirit beast.

Just as he was feeling today was his lucky day, Lucas received two system notifications that made him frown a little and soon, he noticed that a portal was opening in front of him.

'What the hell? A Heaven ranked evil spirit beast?'

Lucas knew that it was an evil spirit beast that he could not defeat. Even if the shadow dragon was here, it could not kill that beast.

'What should I do now?'

Since the system had already informed him that the cave was sealed, Lucas racked his brains and thought to use [Shadow jump]; however, he was unable to escape the cave.

"Who dares to kill my pet?"

Soon, a voice came from the portal and it was enough to make Lucas shiver.
