Chapter 359 - 359: Assassin’s Breath
Now that she had become a Realm 1 being, Ice was able to recuperate much quicker than earlier, and she was awake in less than 2 hours.
She still felt a bit sore in her secret garden region, as she had once again lost herself in pleasure, and done the deed with Eric until she had passed out once again.
Even she herself couldn't believe her actions. She had lost her purity not long ago, but until now she felt like she had done it enough for a year or two, even though she would still do it most probably.
Sure, Eric would ask her to do it, but she felt that even she herself wanted to do it because she felt like it filled the emptiness left after those words.
She didn't have much time to think about it though, as at that moment Eric appeared in front of her saying,
"Good morning sleepy head! It seems like you are nice and fresh now, beside that spot right!?"
As he said that his finger slowly went to touch her secret garden, and especially the entrance of her secret cave.
At first, Ice felt like this beast in front of her just wouldn't stop until he made her unable to move again, but the next moment she stopped and closed her eyes.
'Ahn~!'
A simple, and quiet moan escaped her lips, but it wasn't due to the pleasure of Eric's fingers, but due to their coldness, and the sweet sensation penetrating her skin.
It was clear that Eric wasn't trying to start again playing with her, but he was applying some kind of liquid medicine on her secret garden area, all over it, in order to help her recover from the soreness.
What was even more amazing though was that the medicinal liquid was working like waving a magic wand, the moment that Eric's finger passed a small area, it would immediately relieve it from pain.
Even though she was feeling its effect first-hand, she still had trouble believing it was real. In less than 2 minutes her sore pain had disappeared completely as she could get up, walk, and act normally.
As she did so, she couldn't help but think just what kind of medicine had Eric used on her. After all, such medicine was surely nothing cheap.
To think that he used it only to relieve her from the sore pain in her crotch area. She didn't know whether he did so because he liked and cared about her, needed something, or was just stupid.
Eric could notice the change in her expression and everything else, but he didn't care much about it now, as they had work to take care of, so he just said with an authoritative voice,
"While I do enjoy looking at your naked figure, I cant indulge myself in it, as we have things to take care of!
Dress up and follow covertly behind us! Do not act if I don't tell you to!"
With that said he quickly, went to pick up the bag they would have on this trip, which was the poor thief, and then came out of the independent space that the tunnel was found within.
As soon as he came out, the first thing he did was have a look around to make sure that no one had noticed him get out of there, and if someone had done so, then he had to die.
Fortunately, no one seemed to have noticed him with the bag, and Ice coming out of the independent space, but the problem was that the area was a bit crowded.
Spreading his spirit sense in this place he could feel that more than 30 people were located inside the area covered by his spirit sense.
Most of them were weaklings of a level lower than 90, more than half of the remaining were between level 90 and 99, and there were even 2 guys higher than level 100.
To be more exact, one of them was level 106, while the other one was level 112. Sensing those two guys Eric felt just like a kid who had suddenly received a big gift from an unknown person.
He was dying to know just how many points would one of these guys be when he killed them. With those thoughts in mind, he decided to act quickly.
After getting on shore, he jumped on a tree, threw the bag towards Ice, ordering her once again to not move without his permission, and then went hunting.
As a level 157, just his physical strength was enough to kill these guys in front of him, but he didn't do so, as he had something he wanted to test, the 'Assassin's Breath'!
This was the skill that he had taken out of Ice's memories, which had been a lucky encounter her Master had with some assassin in her primes.
Even though this was the first technique skill that he had seen on Earth from another source than his Legacy System, Eric had a feeling that it was quite good for his level.
During the time that he was waiting for Ice to wake up, he had studied the skill quite a bit, and since he directly took it from Ice's memories he also had her experiences as help.
With that as the basis, and his own comprehension and adjustment he felt like he had grasped something from it, so he clearly wanted to test that out.
Surely one needed to learn the theory in order to start working, but it was only practice that could perfect the skills.
Thinking like that, he started regulating and reducing his breath, as he tried to use that as a start to reduce his presence and aura.
It was difficult!
Extremely difficult!
But he could feel that he was making baby steps towards improving. A journey of a million miles starts with a single step, even if that step is a baby step.
That was how he managed to make himself feel better, as he slowly approached his first target. This guy was level 87, and while it wasn't strong, it should have good senses.
His 'Assassin's Breath' was active all the time as he walked towards him and managed to approach him in a 10 meters radius before that guy noticed him.
That little success made Eric as, despite this guy being a weakling, he should still have sharp senses as a warrior, and should be able to notice him from a few tens of meters, and not just 10 meters.
Once he was in the 10 meters range without his enemy's awareness, Eric felt that he had a 90% chance of having a one-hit kill.
Thinking like that he made a quick jump towards his target, his 'Silent Reaper' appeared on his hand, and with a smooth and fluid slash, he cut the guy's head from his neck.
There was no sound in the strike, it was clean and smooth, the only evidence of it happening was the exploding blood from the guy's neck, and the pungent metallic smell of the blood.
Feeling extremely pleased with the first strike, Eric took a look towards the interface of his Legacy System to check upon his gains, only to be left with an extremely downtrodden expression.
He didn't know whether he should cry or not at this point, as he looked at what was in front of him. After killing this level 87 guy, he had received just 87 SP points and 87 Exp points.
Normally his gains would be a few times these numbers, but now this was all he got. Making him feel a bit depressed.
All this time he had been so happy and pleased with the fact that he had leveled up and evolved, that he forgot that whenever he does so, those below him don't amount to many gains.
His plan of refilling his reserves of SP points quickly and leveling up fast seemed to have met with a new problem.
"Damn!"
He couldn't help but curse a bit at that moment, in order to make himself release a bit of steam, but he had no other choice but to accept the reality.
Not to mention this, but from now on he didn't seem like he would have troubles running his way towards level 800 or something, making him not know how to feel about it.
Surely leveling up and getting stronger was really good, but the more he leveled up, the more powerful enemies he would have to find, and kill in order to walk forward.
Well not like he didn't want to fight stronger enemies than himself, and he didn't fear death, but the biggest problem would be to find those guys on Earth and kill them without raising attention.
He didn't want to wait for the S-day to come for him to finally have a few killing sprees that he so hardly needed. He needed to find a way to make that happen before then.
Still, it wasn't like he had any solution at the moment, as he could only continue his blood path at this area and kill everyone he found on his way.
Thinking like that, he once again spread his spirit sense noted his next target, activated his 'Assassin's breath', and then made his way towards the target.
Just like the first, even this guy was unable to sense him before he was inside the 10 meters radius. And just like the first, even this guy ended up with his head removed from his shoulders.
It was only at the 7th victim that Tianlong Yun seemed to have improved a bit in his technique and managed to approach the victim closer at 9 m before being noticed, but it was still an improvement…
