Several people entered the alleyway.

The rogues immediately became apprehensive, and involuntarily slowed down their pace.

The refined yet ruthless man with gold-rimmed glasses had a clear animosity towards the hapless brute they had lured into the alley, looking ready to cause trouble.

What worried the rogues was not death, after all a few people dying was a common occurrence.

Which week doesn’t have deaths in the West District?

What they feared was that the ruthless man would shoot the rabbit while he was fetching the grass, and slaughter them conveniently as well.

Yet they dared not refuse to follow him in.

What if the hapless brute got scared off, ruining the ruthless man’s plans, and he came after them? That would be unpleasant.

“You may leave now!”

Fortunately, as soon as the familiar and potent fog filled the alleyway, a casual voice rang out.

The rogues were granted permission by the ruthless man to retreat.

And what were they waiting for?

Hurriedly, they took to their heels!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

One by one, the rogues quickened their pace, escaping from Spider Tail Alley at the fastest speed in their lives.

Harold Andrews was both shocked and angered.

So this was really a trap!

Who wanted to get him?

It was unfortunate that he was blinded by greed and didn’t see it coming. Now, his view obscured by the dense fog that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, he had lost the initiative and was completely at a disadvantage. Whether he chose to dodge or stay and defend, he could easily fall into another trap.

How could he fight in this situation?

Overwhelmed by fear, Harold Andrews activated all the three Defense Rune Items that he had on him without hesitation.

The hidden enemy had already acted, and had gained the upper hand through a sneak attack, there would undoubtedly be follow-up actions.

No matter what, he needed to defend himself first.

However, Link unexpectedly did not continue his attack when he had a clear advantage.

instead, he controlled the ‘Secondary Misty Rain Technique’, gradually dissipating the dense fog, and covered the entire entrance of the alley.

To hinder the sight of potential onlookers outside as much as possible.

As the fog grew thinner, the visibility inside it improved.

Harold Andrews’s restricted vision was restored.

However, he did not feel relieved in the slightest.

There was the baiting, the sneak attack, and now, just when he had finally gained the advantage, it was given up?

There must be a trick.

However, Harold Andrews was completely clueless about the enemy’s strategy.

So, what was Link planning to do?

Link’s plan was simple, that was, to kill face to face.

The baiting was to lure the fight to his designated battlefield, to minimize the traces and the possibility of being interrupted by others.

The sneak attack was to startle the snake, affecting Harold Andrews’s mood, and drawing out his defensive Rune Items or Magic Tools.

Knowing the enemy and oneself, will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Seeing the three different shields gleaming around Harold Andrews, Link had an estimate of his defensive strength.

His confidence for a flawless kill couldn’t be higher.

Link activated the levitation and acceleration effects of the boots, the active defense effect of the suit, vest, and glasses, made all preparations, and then no longer concealed himself.

“Harold Andrews, it’s good to see you.”

Link stepped out of his hiding place and politely greeted Harold Andrews.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

Five spell-breaking crossbow arrows were launched in succession, aiming straight at Harold Andrews’s face.

Harold Andrews was highly attentive, his reactions were quick and his movements weren’t as handicapped as Erick’s, he moved sideways in time to dodge Link’s first wave of attack.

“Thank you for consistently speaking highly of me on the ‘Forum’ during the past two months and helping to raise my profile.”

Link expressed his sincere gratitude to Harold Andrews.

Thud, thud.

Two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders were tossed to Harold Andrews’ feet just as he had dodged the spell-breaking crossbow arrows and had yet begun steadying himself.

Boom…boom…

Both Self-Destructing Fire Thunders exploded one after the other.

It was an imposing spectacle, with sparks flying everywhere.

Harold Andrews had no way out, his only choice was to resist the attack using the defense capabilities of three Defensive Rune Items he wore.

The cost-performance ratio of these consumable items was showcased right then.

Only four standard level-1 Magic Stones were needed for two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders, yet they shattered the defenses of three Rune Objects Harold Andrews had bought with nearly 30 standard level-1 Magic Stones.

Although the Self-Destructing Fire Thunders were one-time consumables and the Rune Objects could be reused after being fully charged or infused with Magic Power by Harold Andrews

But at this critical moment when life and death could be decided in the blink of an eye, whether they were disposable or reusable, all were disposable, there was no difference.

“Many thanks for the photos you took of me, making me look incredibly handsome!”

Link’s expression of gratitude was like a rolling tide, unending,

No sooner has one wave subsided than another rises up.

Before Harold Andrews could celebrate his narrow escape from the Self-Destructing Fire Thunder, Link’s third wave of attack was already on its way.

Biu, biu, biu, biu, biu…

The Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, Continuous Casting, transformed the Leaf Arrow Spell into a Leaf Arrow Machine Gun.

Under the shocked gaze of a dumbfounded Harold Andrews, it fired rapidly at lightning speed, aiming for his torso and limbs.

“Rise!”

This time, Harold Andrews was truly panicked. At the crucial moment of casting the spell, he even relied on yelling out loud to stimulate his will, which speeded up the construction of the Magic Blueprint in his Sea of Consciousness.

A wall of earth trembled and rose just before six Leaf Arrows could land on his body.

However, this earthen wall was shoddily built, it was not only crooked but also as thin as a piece of paper.

Three Leaf Arrows that were slightly in front, hit the wall and caused it to collapse.

The remaining three Leaf Arrows then penetrated Harold Andrews’ lower abdomen without any obstruction and went right through.

Three bloody wounds the size of an infant’s arm appeared. His organs were severely damaged, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, urine, and feces flowed out.

Unable to bear the pain, Harold Andrews fell backwards.

Just as he fell, thorny vines rushed up, tightly binding Harold Andrews’ limbs and immobilizing his head.

Link activated his Gold Frame Glasses’ discernment ability, confirming that Harold Andrews was indeed seriously injured, only then did he approach a few steps closer.

The first to arrive was the Anti-magic net gun, which fired an anti-magic net with a whoosh.

The large anti-magic net was more than sufficient to cover Harold Andrews’ entire body.

The flow of nearby elements and magic power began to slow down. Without even unleashing his full power, Link had now completely stripped Harold Andrews of his ability to resist.

The wounds in his lower abdomen further expanded as his body hit the ground heavily, blood kept pouring out.

The significant loss of blood caused Harold Andrews’ Vitality to quickly drain away.

Feeling himself dying, Harold’s eyes filled with deep regret, he began to struggle violently.

The tightly wrapped thorns started to take effect.

The more Harold Andrews struggled, the deeper the thorns dug in, the tighter the entanglement.

Link looked down at the dying Harold Andrews lying on the ground, Gently pushing up his Gold Frame Glasses on the bridge of his nose, he spoke in a soft and gentle tone:

“Hello, I’m honored that I’ve been on your mind.”

I’m Link Grande.

Unfortunately, you won’t have the chance to dwell on me anymore..
