Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Serenade laughed and thought to herself that she should secretly go and tickle it in the middle of the night.

Even if you lose your cat claws, you can still do it.

"Xiao Man, I want to tell you... I'm very happy."

"What? That's nonsense... What are you so happy about? Did you have a stomachache?"

Alas, this guy clearly understands it, but still uses these words. What a bad guy.

Serenade has completely understood Yu Man, so just laughing it off is enough to express his feelings.

and--

The sky darkened.

She threw on her cloak and moved quickly toward a nearby high ground.

She predicted that there was a sentry from the "REM" guild there, and he was a lone sentry.

It was a perfect location, allowing one to monitor the entire sea area and the entire battlefield nearby from this island lacking mountains.

But there was another such position, and they did not have enough sentries.

In these territorial battles, sentries were responsible for monitoring the surrounding area for enemy reinforcements and providing immediate intelligence to the commander from a high vantage point. Furthermore, they also had to be vigilant for their own safety, so they were often accompanied by helpers to help with the vigilance.

The reason why she could tell that he was alone was because when she was on the island, she saw the guild gathering and marching.

Her instinct had already taken action ahead of her rationality, and she had already clearly judged the opponent's team.

The sentries they would place here would be combat-type, with strong escape and single-player abilities, freeing up manpower to protect another observation point very close to enemy territory. They might even attempt to capture an enemy sentry tower.

Serenade is extremely skilled and understanding of all of this.

And—I miss it terribly.

It’s amazing, experiencing it firsthand yet flowing with nostalgia.

"Mao Laoliu, what are you doing? Why aren't you talking?" Yu Man sent a message quietly.

"Shh, get ready to poke someone in the eye."

Yu Man was also very familiar with all of this. Just by hearing this common saying, she knew what she was doing: "No, you just came to the Old World and you're planning to start a big battle? Fortunately, I didn't drag you into the guild. If something goes wrong like this, it won't be our "Snake Restaurant" that will be embarrassed..."

"Humph."

Serenade couldn't help but laugh, and found it funny from the bottom of his heart.

Then he ignored Yu Man and just focused on his own things.

She took out a bottle of invisibility potion, squeezed open the cap with one hand, and the strong stench of decay instantly emanated from it.

She planned to sneakily eliminate the other party's sentry, but it was difficult to get close to the other party because their search range was very large.

Invisibility potions put a heavy strain on the body and cannot be used continuously. If one only relies on invisibility skills and invisibility potions, the duration is bound to be insufficient, and one will be immediately exposed once someone gets close. Therefore, how to get into a safe range and then drink the invisibility potion is a big problem.

However, the night is just right, and the dense forest is just right.

She chose the time to act when the first flare ended.

Therefore, her cloak, soaked with water and covered with leaves like the night, was like a corner of the forest blown by the wind.

She moved closer.

And then—she drank the medicine, which tasted as bad as ever.

"..."

In that painful moment, it felt as if flesh and blood were being torn away.

But—she faded from reality.

The cloak finished its mission and slowly slid off her shoulders.

She walked straight towards the hill without looking back.

The swift sword was quietly unsheathed and gently held in her right hand.

Then—the atmosphere suddenly changed, as if she had polished her entire soul.

Her left hand was placed in the backpack, with each of her four fingers touching the four poisons, and her thumb against the opening of the bag, skillfully and naturally.

"...As I thought, an assassin."

She spotted her target.

The other party was surveying the battlefield while typing, hiding himself as best he could behind the rocks, clearly reporting information at high speed. But his work didn't stop there; he also had to monitor the observation ships for any reinforcements or new enemy activity.

It was easier than I thought—the serenade moved closer to the other party.

And confirmed the opponent's profession, class, proficiency, and armor type.

So - she took out the most potent poison in her hand.

Facing this kind of enemy, a long battle of attrition or dragging out the enemy was out of the question; a single, fatal blow was necessary, and so a single, powerful blow of the most dangerous kind was necessary. She only had this one chance, but it was enough.

At the end of the duration of the invisibility potion, the cap of the poison bottle was unscrewed by the sword.

Along the grooves on the sword, the sticky, black, odorless liquid dripped down bit by bit and adhered to the sword.

"--Bang."

Another one.

A dazzling flash of light flashed across the sky, coming from the defenders, as they were already at a disadvantage.

And in this bright and clear moment, the invisibility effect of the serenade has worn off.

She instantly used her extra skills to become invisible again, without revealing even a trace of her figure.

The body is no longer burdened, and the feeling of lightness has returned. Not only that, the fighting spirit in my heart is rising.

The duration of this perk is short - but enough.

She had arrived behind the sentry.

"..."

Turn your wrist and exert force.

At the same time—kick up the dust.

A sword as swift as thunder pierced out from the darkness in an instant.

She no longer stays away from the world, but shows everything about herself to the world.

"——WT——F——"

The sentry reacted instantly, cursing while immediately using the invisibility skill and trying to dodge.

However, as he faded from the world——

The sword hit its target precisely.

That is, his larynx.

"--Well."

The sixth-level leather armor covering it was cut open by the invisibility-breaking blow, followed by the soft skin.

Serenade's sword avoided the lump in the throat and immediately dug left and right after piercing it.

At the same time, she held down the other person's hand, bumped into him with her shoulder, and stretched out her foot to trip him.

The sentry's body fell, but Serenade's sword remained suspended in mid-air until the other fell to the ground.

The sword tip no longer hovered, but followed and stabbed down.

This time the target was no longer the destroyed larynx, but inside the mouth.

At the same time, her left hand took out the unused poison and poured it all into the other person's mouth. It mixed with the blood and wounds, and finally turned into the other person's incessant cursing, accompanied by the sound of blood bubbling, and a wail that did not constitute any words.

Those were last words.

……

There wasn't much loot, just a set of the opponent's sixth-level assassin equipment, necessary consumables, and things for escaping.

After the sentry dies, he will definitely report the information to the commander, but it doesn't matter.

Serenade quickly picked up everything, put on a full set of level six equipment, and then put away the cleaned sword.

"I didn't even kill him instantly after the first strike... A newbie's body is so weak."

But in its place is the power of a slightly better set of equipment.

Fortunately, the additional skills used by this sentinel were all general, and there were no unfamiliar riddles and humanities, so Serenade immediately grasped his current strength - and what more he could do.

She left quickly.

Next, the main "REM" team will inevitably send a few people to investigate and take over important observation positions.

Serenade did not intend to kill them, after all, the interests on the main battlefield were much greater.

There is no need to be invisible on the next road, just avoid the main road and take the small road.

From her sentry position just now, she understood everything at a glance.

"REM"'s offensive is a tiered attack with a fairly high wave and frequency.

After one wave finishes fighting, they will retreat, and the next wave will catch up.

She had already calculated the right moment to attack, steal away the person who retreated after using all his skills, and then quickly take all the loot and escape. Interestingly, this well-organized team would suffer losses silently, otherwise there would be a flaw in the front battlefield.

Of course, even if they chased after him with all their might to seek revenge, Serenade would still be able to escape.

She had thought of all the ways out and ways forward, and that was enough.

Just steal people little by little, maybe five or so...

--"ah?"

Unfortunately, all her plans fell through at this moment.

Tremble.

Suddenly, a tremor from the heart and soul gradually emerged in her body and mind.

The whole body shook and felt horrified.

Something's not right—something's coming...something very wrong.

She licked her lips, which had become dry without her knowing when, and instantly cleared her mind of all plans, leaving only confusion and thought.

"I'm so scared because some evil... legendary monster is about to arrive..."

She silently looked at her shaking hands. That was the inevitable horror that one would face when the class gap became too huge.

Not only her—

The entire battlefield seemed to freeze, everyone's thoughts deviated from their original track, and everyone was in panic.

Scolding, yelling, restlessness and agitation.

And fear.

The source of all this—

"...from the sky...over there—"

Serenade searches for the source of fear and finally locks onto the distant night sky.

Something had gotten close enough.

Then—there was a pressure that was enough to sweep across the earth.

And—the bone-chilling cold.

“…Shit, that’s impossible.” Serenade pressed his forehead, feeling that he finally understood.

as predicted--

A flash of light tore through the night and rushed towards us.

It dragged a long trail of ice dust, weaving the entire sky into a starry night.

"Fuck, it didn't look like this in the video..."

That breathtakingly beautiful figure... is the evil dragon that once stood in the way of the vast sea, the Ice Prison Dragon.
