Chapter 329 -329



"Look here, kid. I've got one of these fancy troll lockets too, and I have to say, this works pretty well," the assassin remarked, taking out the locket and displaying it to Anon.

The troll locket resembled exactly like the one Anon possessed.

"Well, time to run," Anon declared, starting to turn around, but before he could escape, the assassin materialized before him.

"No one escapes me, kid," the assassin warned, brandishing a knife and placing it against Anon's neck.

"I am the best assassin in the elfs, i am the strongest, i am the Sharpest and i am the fastest." Clint spoke as he looked at Anon with a smile and started talking about how good of an assassin he is.

"Yeah, no kidding," Anon muttered, feeling helpless as he gazed at the knife.

Suddenly an idea triggered in his mind.

'Gin, Bite him boy. I want you to distract him for a second.' Anon ordered gin.

Woooooof

Gin barked and lunged, sinking his teeth into Clint's left leg.

"Ahhh... motherfucking dog," Clint reacted, shaking his leg to dislodge Gin, flinging him away.

Thud

Gin collided with a tree, breaking his spine in just one kick.

Woooooooooo

He cried out in pain, losing consciousnessa the same colliding llace.

"What an irritating nuisance," Clint grumbled. He turned his attention back to Anon, only to realize that Anon had vanished from the position.

"Kid, you can't hide from me! I am an assassin, i always win in this game." Clint yelled, searching the area for Anon.

Anon concealed himself behind a tree, his expression serious yet maintaining a faint smile on his face.

'What an fucking...monster? Now I comprehend the meaning of level and strength disparity. I was so absorbed in manipulating others that I neglected my own physical state.

Compared to him, I'm just a useless fool. Once i get out of here, i am going to do tons of physical excercise.' Anon contemplated, devising an alternate plan.

"Jule... Where are you? Come out, and I'll put an end to you swiftly, without any pain, i will just take my dagger and Pierce it through your brain slightly." Clint called out, scouring the surroundings like a deranged killer.

A notion suddenly struck Anon.

'System, do I possess any sound or light-related skills? Something that i can use as a distraction ? I remember when i ate the memories of the last group that came to kill me had some distraction skills on them.' Anon inquired.

[Searching for Sound, Light and distraction related skills]

[2 skills found.]

'Show me.' Anon commanded as he looked at the half-transparent screens in front of him.

[Echo]

[This skill allows you to direct and reflect your voice between locations as per your desire.]

[Fuse]

[Generate brief light balls nearby to distract a monster.]

'Good... I just need that one opportunity,' Anon deliberated, glancing at Clint from behind the tree. He noticed Clint approaching him.

'Oh no... He's coming towards me,' Anon thought, powering up the railgun.

"Jule... Are you here...?" Clint's voice echoed through the air as he narrowed the gap between them.

<Echo>

"I'm here, you pussy," Anon's voice was redirected to a different tree, seeming to originate from a higher point and a different direction.

Clint halted, leaping toward the tree Anon's voice seemed to come from.

"Not there... Jerk. I'm over here," Anon shifted his voice to another tree.

"I'm coming," Clint leaped toward another tree, following the sound.

[Master... Are you certain about this? It doesn't seem safe.] Link expressed concern.

'Just do it, Link. I want to eliminate this scumbag before I pass out for my next evolution,' Anon commanded.

[Y-Yes, Master.]

[Your pet has used the skill <Quantum Mana Distribution>]

[Quantum Mana Distribution] [Rank -A] [Support Skill]n0VelusB.c0M

[This skill enables a support pet to infuse its owner with immense power in the form of pure mana. Utilizing this mana enhances the potency of spells and attacks.

However, with power comes risk. After this skill activates, the user might experience strain while manipulating this mana. Spells that were easy to control may become challenging.]

Anon felt his body fill with the purest form of mana. His veins glowed blue, and his eyes radiated a bluish hue.

<Fuse>

A brilliant radiance emerged from behind a tree and quickly vanished.

Clint observed this and instantly leaped toward the tree.

"Here's the kicker about these troll lockets, pal," Anon yelled, overcharging the railgun and emerging from his hiding spot.

From this angle, Anon had a clear line of sight to Clint. Since Clint was airborne, he couldn't change his position.

Clint fixed his gaze on the source of the sound, spotting Anon sitting on the ground, brandishing the same weapon he'd used to strike him earlier.

Anon's body radiated a blue glow, and his eyes shone blue.

"... They only heal you when you're in contact with the ground. In the air, you're toast, idiot. Let's begin the party," Anon announced, aiming the railgun and pulling the trigger.

ZzzZzzz

"Ah, crap," Clint muttered as he realized his impending demise.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooom

Another explosion erupted, ten times larger than the previous one.

The blast obliterated Clint and a quarter of the Evensong Forest in one shot.

[Level up]

[Level up]

[Level up]

...

Due to the backlash, the gun shattered into numerous fragments, dissipating into thin air.

Anon's bones fractured, and his skin bore burn marks from the explosion.

He lost consciousness as evolution commenced.

"Nooooooooooo.... Juuuuulllleeeeeeeeeeee....." Moon cried out, dropping to her knees.

"H-Honey, don't fret. He'll be alright. I promise," Hillary consoled Moon.

"What kind of mother are you? Your son might have perished in that explosion, and you're saying this? I can't believe you're my mother," Moon spat, glaring at Hillary.

'That son of a... He's making me do this,' Hillary thought, glaring angrily at the screen.

Ian used a hidden passage to enter the forest and sprinted toward Anon.

"Don't worry, Jule. Dad's coming to rescue you," he vowed as he continued running.
