I originally thought that a girl who had been sealed for hundreds of years wouldn't have the typical habits of a girl.

But once again, reality proved me wrong.

After buying various equipment and weapons, the terrifying journey began.

At first, Blanche was just walking while looking around.

But slowly, she got distracted by the atmosphere of the surrounding girls, and before I realized the situation was not good...

It was already too late.

"This looks great! And this one is not bad!"

She moved quickly through the store, just like those middle-aged ladies during a limited-time sale, the only difference being that those ladies didn't have the speed of a level 45 character.

But if those ladies had Blanche's speed, there would be a hurricane in the mall every day.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

However, this girl just looked around, although we had been to several stores, she didn't buy anything.

Well, that's not a problem.

The problem was that she insisted on dragging me along. Why? This completely violates the principle of efficiency.

Furthermore, clothes are either chosen for their effectiveness or their appearance. What is it that attracts them to keep picking and choosing? I really don't understand.

Sighing, I shifted my gaze to the street.

The town that used to be only for mages is now crowded with various warriors. Now, at first glance, it looks like the main hall of a city during peak gaming hours, with all the players' names overlapping.

And now there are also various titles, the entire city is simply overwhelming to look at!

Even more terrifying!

I still couldn't figure out how to hide the names and titles of others. It was just as scary as not being able to block bullet comments on Bilibili!

And there were red letters... Eh, red letters?

Among a large number of white names, the red letters stood out prominently, just like a boss appearing among a group of inexperienced mobs, immediately capturing my attention.

But just as I looked over, those red letters disappeared quickly, either turning into white letters or using some ability to conceal them.

They spotted us? It seemed like the other party either had a high level or had strong observation skills.

I didn't expect to be noticed so soon, and the day hadn't even ended yet.

I pretended not to care and slowly leaned over to Blanche's side, whispering quietly.

"We're being followed."

"Huh? I know."

"Huh?"

"Really, don't underestimate me~ After all, I am a very strong archer. I won't be worse than an ordinary thief or assassin when it comes to tracking skills."

Right, she was still an archer. If it weren't for Hei Luoli, another archer, maybe her character would not have been so obvious to me.

"What are you thinking? Do you want to catch that person who's following us?"

"It's not necessary...but can you track them?"

"Of course, but I feel like that person is slightly weaker than me, probably an assassin."

"An assassin... Why would such a person be targeting us?"

"How would I know what you did at school~"

"What? I'm a law-abiding good student."

"A law-abiding good student wouldn't have a one-on-one duel with a demon god~ From what I know, you're the first."

"Is that so? Is there a reward?"

"What...do...you...want?"

Hearing her tone, I instinctively moved to the side.

Turning back, she was leaning against the nearby counter, laughing.

"This is not something worth laughing about!"

"Because Fir-chan, you're just so fun to tease~ It seems my judgment was correct, being around you won't be boring at all~"

This person... in a certain sense, she really is terrifying.

My mouth twitched, but I quickly resumed my normal expression.

"The passing of time does indeed require something to pass the time."

"That's right, besides dragons, the elves have lived the longest on this earth~ If we don't do something to pass the time, all we can do is sleep...hahaha. But enough talk, if we encounter something more interesting, let's forget about buying clothes. Fighting with people is more fun.""Well, shopping is not something people like us usually do!" We nodded at each other. Blanche took a step forward and dashed out without any regard for my feelings. Honestly, he doesn't care about me at all, even though I'm a mage...

"Accelerate, Shadow, Arcane Wind Spirit, ultimate skill—Stealth!" I exclaimed. As I finished speaking, my body slowly transformed into a gray shadow.

(Ultimate skill—Stealth: A skill that can only be activated when no one is paying attention. It turns the user's body into a shadow, granting ten times the original speed. Effective only in shadowed areas, it allows for shadow jumps within a 10-meter radius.)

Perfect. With so many people here, I'll make use of your shadows. I locked onto Blanche's name and quickly followed his shadow. In an instant, I appeared under the shade of a tree beside Blanche.

"Hey there~" I greeted.

"Huh? Are you as fast as me now... Is it a skill?" Blanche asked in surprise.

The next second, I was already in the shadow around the corner.

"Yes, that's right. So hurry up a little, or my magic will be exhausted," I replied.

"Do my best~ The other person's speed has increased, seems like they've noticed us following."

"Is that so? Where are they?"

"After turning that corner, they should be on the street, less than 10 meters away."

"Got it."

With a flash, I appeared directly behind the wall, and in front of me, a figure in a black robe was quickly escaping.

I flicked my hand, and countless ice arrows shot out!

Arcane Wild Stream—Forty-Nine Ice Arrows!

"Tch!" The countless ice arrows landed in one spot... but there was no indication of a hit!

Strange. If the opponent wasn't in that spot, the magic arrows shouldn't have all hit the same place. Could it be a body substitution technique?

(Due to the inclusion of the magic release system, Fir can manipulate magic of a level lower than his own. For example, ice arrows can change direction. When shot from a certain angle, if they don't hit the target, the ice arrows will pass through the attacking position, turn, and attack again. However, if the target is hit, the magic ends immediately.)

Can assassins use body substitution techniques of ultimate skill level or higher? That would explain the physical substitution accepting the attack.

Suddenly, the attack warning lit up, but at the same moment, I was struck from behind!

Breach defense!

Armor-piercing!

Fatal blow!

Three icons flashed, and my HP dropped to less than one-third in an instant. My knight armor cracked and fell to the ground.

Is durability depleted...

(Weapons, armor, and items consume durability when used and slowly recover over time, although the recovery speed is slow. Alchemists and craftsmen can quickly repair the durability. If damaged without repair, it will be directly destroyed and can only be remade into materials instead of being directly repaired. The previous katana was already considered damaged as it was directly slashed.)

"You... You really went all out to kill me..." I muttered.

The opponent is a level 30 assassin, slightly weaker than Blanche's estimation.

Summon Ice Sword!

Challenging me in the shadow of a building... You're really asking for it.

In attack mode, I have several times your speed!

With a flash of the blade, the opponent's hands fell to the ground, rendering them unable to use skill!

"How could this be..." The opponent retreated two steps in disbelief. They tried to turn around but found themselves completely trapped by several vines, unable to move!

Arcane Plant—Arcane Parasitic Vine.

(Arcane Parasitic Vine: A plant-based magic that entangles enemies within a 50-meter radius, restricting their movements for 30 seconds and absorbing 1% of their HP per second.)

"Wait! I'll tell you who sent me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"What are you talking about~" I smiled."How could I let you die, I will turn you into... something inhuman."

You still think you can survive by selling information at a time like this? What a joke, I can see through your information with my naked eye.

[Cleaner], although I don't know how you found out about our operation... since you've provoked me, you're done for!

After saying that, a black enchantment instantly surrounded the entire block. Thanks to this guy running to this secluded alley, he didn't expect to be killed by me in return.

[Silent of the Dead], an enclosed enchantment that prevents the leakage of necromancy within a certain range.

"You... you're undead..."

"Hehe~ You are too."

I stabbed his heart ten times in a row and finished him off with a sleeve sword. Then, white bone wings spread open, and I placed my hand on his corpse.

"Corruption."
