Chapter 472: Chapter 284 Cat and Mouse Game (The number of the previous Chapter was labeled incorrectly)_2

"Hmm, it indeed is not easy, it’s already my fifth failure today..." Lin Xue sighed and shook her head.

Actually, the consistency of her card-making already ranks second highest among all the sorcerers, only behind Mu You. But each card-making attempt still requires a lot of luck. If she’s lucky, she would succeed within five attempts. If she’s not, she might be stuck for several days.

"Let me give it a try!" Mu You said.

The Soul Fire card of Lin Xue, after being converted, kept its Black Magic name and almost the same effects – still igniting a target’s Soul Fire to obtain the target’s vision. However, the duration was extended to five hours, and the sorcerer’s version of Soul Fire could not be dispelled, effectively forcing an individual to share their vision. Even if the individual knew that he was being watched, there was nothing they could do about it, greatly enhancing its practicality.

This spell might be useful against the phantom thief later, so Mu You, having nothing else to do, asked for the card to replicate it himself.

While Mu You leisurely started crafting the card, the phantom thief Valen Justin in the Underwater Prison was having a hard time.

He had no idea why he was having such horrific luck today. A simple theft had turned into multiple disastrous attempts, the usage of Black Magic failed three times in a row, and he even ended up being counter-attacked!

Being killed once was tolerable as he, having been a phantom thief for many years, had died before. However, who would have thought that this extraordinary death would result in the explosion of his most valuable treasure!

The phantom thief’s mask, one of his core equipment pieces, was as vital to him as bread and butter. If someone took this item, he would not rest until he retrieved it. Hence, he promptly began to chase the thief, vowing to retrieve his treasure.

The thief had vanished after hiding in a cell, but the phantom thief was sure that the thief had not been discovered by the prison guards. There was a high possibility that the thief was still hiding in the cell, just that he had used some method to camouflage himself.

To prevent the thief from escaping unnoticed, he decided to ambush nearby, and keep his eyes wide open, not daring to blink while observing the cell in front of him.

Luckily, Mu You didn’t keep him waiting for long, and logged in promptly when it was past five.

Five o’clock in reality matched approximately seven o’clock in the game. At this time, the comfortable window of the Fourth Level was about to end and was going to enter an extremely cold night.

While the phantom thief worried that Mu You would run away with his treasure, Mu You was also worried that the Fourth Level’s weather might discourage the phantom thief. His Hunger Gem was still on the thief, so he had to log in immediately for a showdown.

[You appear in the Underwater Prison, in cell No. 4501.]

[Click. You successfully unlocked the cell door.]

[You used the Troll Spiritual Niche and summoned two ordinary trolls, ordering one of them to leave the cell.]

[The troll was hit by the Octopus Statue’s Thunderstrike, collapsing on the ground and barely clinging to life.]

[The alarm sounds, but no Octopus Soldiers came nearby. During the night and midday stages of severe cold and heat, the Octopus prison guards must cease patrolling.]

The deplorable environment of the Fourth Level was unbearable even for the Octopus Soldiers. They only have four hours of comfortable time in a day to work.

This implies that the entire Fourth Level is currently unwatched. There’s no need to tiptoe around anymore.

[You calmly walk out of the cell.]

[You stepped into an assassination trap and were enslaved, unable to move.]

[Phantom thief Valen is in your back and you are under the attack of ’Backstab’, ’Night-time Killing’ and ’Hidden Breaker’.]

[You are gravely injured.]

Mu You guessed that the phantom thief would mostly likely ambush him at this log-in spot. He was still shocked by the high burst damage from the thief. The professional thief’s assassination techniques were very skilled; seven to eight assassination spells were cast instantly and Mu You’s HP dropped dramatically.

Mu You urgently retraced his steps and pre-casted a ’Life Barrier’ in the prison before stepping out.

[Phantom Thief Valen showed up again and attacked you with various assassination techniques. Your HP dropped rapidly....]

[Just when you were about to get killed, Life Barrier surfaced to block off the fatal attack. You entered a five-second invulnerability period.]

[You cast ’Executioner’ and entered the invincible state.]

[You used Refresh Badge and all your magic cooldowns reset.]

[You again cast Dark World, forcing the surroundings into midnight. You held onto Berserker’s Howl, obtained an additional boost in strength and stamina, and your attributes skyrocketed.]

[You activated Berserker’s Howl and Vampire aura simultaneously so that each of your attacks converted 125% of the damage dealt into HP...]

The thief attacked him face-to-face, and Mu You didn’t hold back. He activated all available skills and instantly entered his most powerful state. With the Berserk Axe and Vampire skin buffs, his strength reached up to 84 points, his HP exceeded 16,000 and he had 125% lifesteal. Even as he fought in the extreme cold of midnight, his HP would only increase the more he fought!

On the other hand, the phantom thief’s situation was bad. He evidently didn’t expect Mu You to have a cheap trick like the Life Barrier. His carefully prepared burst of attacks only hit a cotton wall. Moreover, Mu You’s attributes were more absurd than the last time they fought. The phantom thief’s HP disappeared in chunks, evaporating alike.

By the time the phantom thief reacted and was prepared to escape, it was already too late.

[You killed Phantom Thief Valen Justin with an axe, gaining +19 experience, +1 lifespan, gaining 1 piece of a Thief Skin Shard, and discovered ’Agile Boots’ at the location where he died.]
