[You use the ’Silence Curse’ on the figure in front of you and swipe your claw at them again.]
[However, all you feel is a blur in front of you, as if the figure in your hands has changed. You stab them and cause abnormal high damage, and the figure in your hands disappears instantly.]
[Apparently, what you hit was a clone.]
Mu You is startled. Didn’t he just catch the main body? How did it turn into a clone again? Could this person’s main body and clone switch automatically?
[You look up, and within the trap ahead, a figure has already broken through the encirclement, picking up the gem hidden within.]
[Your Hunger Gem has been stolen by Phantom Thief Van Lun!]
[After getting what he wanted, Phantom Thief Van Lun and his three remaining clones hastily retreat. Do you want to give chase?]
He definitely had to chase. It was unacceptable to simply let the enemy walk away with the gem.
[You chose to chase after the enemy.]
[You catch up with the four figures faster than expected, but just when you are about to strike, you see the four people ahead simultaneously stop, turn around, and surround you. They then launch an attack on you!]
The Phantom Thief’s agility is much higher than Mu You’s. He was worried that he might not catch up if the thief attempted to escape.
However, his worries proved unfounded. The thief had no intention of running away at all and even prepared to lure and counter-kill him. It was probably the exposure of his Chain Claws that made the thief grow greedy.
[Facing the enemy’s encirclement, you are also prepared to counterattack. However, just as you are about to start fighting, you suddenly hear the sound of Octopus Soldiers’ footsteps coming from around the corner ahead.]
[The Phantom Thief and his three clones immediately retreat to the wall. After standing still for a moment, they quickly enter stealth mode. You decide to....]
[Ignore the prison guards, continue attack],[Escape while you can],[Pause the fight, enter stealth].
"Pause the fight, enter stealth."
With the patrol coming at this time, both of them are prison escapees. The thief doesn’t want the Octopus Soldiers to discover them, and neither does he.
And since it seems that the Phantom Thief also has a deep stealth technique, Mu You can only choose to stealth like him for now and continue fighting after the Octopus Soldiers leave.
[You and the Phantom Thief both enter stealth, and the corridor falls silent.]
[A squad of Octopus Soldiers turn the corner and patrol towards your position. Thankfully, they do not notice your presence and pass by you.]
[Seeing the Octopus Soldiers turn another corner and disappear down the corridor, you know they are not far away. You can seize the initiative by striking now, but the noise from the fight could alert the Octopus Soldiers. Will you strike immediately?]
Mu You directly tapped ’Silent Curse’ and ’Arcane Missile’ on his panel, and then chose ’Dark World’ in the Black Magic column.
[You cast the ’Silent Curse’, eliminating all noise around you.]
[With the cover of the ’Silent Curse’, you launch a preemptive attack. Three ’Arcane Missiles’ are fired, automatically hitting the three hidden figures opposite you.]
[You release the ’Dark World’. The environment around you automatically enters midnight status, turning pitch black.]
[A bitter cold wind quickly blows through the corridor. Numerous shards of frost, like icy blades, are whistling towards all living beings in this corridor.]
[In this extreme cold temperature, your HP begins to drop rapidly.]
[In the extreme cold, the enemy’s HP begins to drop even faster.]
Mu You’s trump card against the enemy is this move, the ’Dark World’.
Under the midnight status, his Vampire skin bonus can instantly rise to one hundred percent. After doubling his four-dimensional attributes, his attributes become: Strength 44, Agility 88, Intelligence 132, Vitality 61, comprehensively crushing the enemy.
Moreover, the midnight status also activates the special effect of the Fourth Level of the Prison - at the darkest moment of the night, it is also when the extreme cold of the Fourth Level is at its strongest.
In this extremely harsh environment, both sides are losing HP, but he has survival of the fittest - he loses HP much slower than the enemy, and he will not die from the cold.
You could say that this space of the ’Dark World’ is his home ground, even if the enemy is five levels higher than him, Mu You is not afraid at all.
[In the frosty howling wind, you cast the ’Snowball Curse,’ a strong wind blowing.]
[The ’Electric Arc Sword’ envelopes your claws, you use the Elven Combat Art technique and grapple with the enemy up close...]
[The Phantom Thief quickly realized that he was completely suppressed by your attributes. As his injuries rapidly worsened, he chose to retreat, but he did not go far. Instead, he quickly chanted a spell and cast a dark art spell on you.]
[The surging and familiar magical power condenses in the thief’s hand. A Dark Flame Dragon quickly forms in his hand and charges at you. You dodge too late, and the Dark Flame Dragon bites you, your HP rapidly decreasing...]
[In the blink of an eye, you became seriously injured and near death, but the familiar modulation feedback from the arcane crystal reminded you, what the thief used seemed to be a Black Magic!]
"Black Magic?" Mu You frowned.
This guy can use Black Magic? Is he also a Sorcerer? Or is it just regular Black Magic that he’s using?
If it’s regular Black Magic, is he not afraid of losing control?
The thief’s black magic caused high damage, instantly flipping the advantage Mu You had previously gained from the Dark World. Without time to think more, Mu You decisively pressed down on his pocket watch.
[Time reverts, you return to five seconds ago.]
[You see the thief starting to chant again, using Black Magic on you...]
