Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 60: My righteous backstab!

As the kill prompt popped up, Luo Xiu pulled the dagger back from the corpse.

The dagger he used was the "Black Steel Dagger" purchased from Balin's blacksmith shop in Dawn Town.

Before leaving Dawn Town, he bought a few more "Black Steel Daggers" from Old Balin as backup, and performed "Glorious Inscription" and "Abyss Inscription" on two of them respectively.

The one in his hand was the "Dark Erosion Dagger" made after "Abyss Inscription"!

[Equipment Name: Dark Stab Dagger (White Ordinary)]

[Equipment Type: Dagger/Extraordinary Weapon]

[Equipment Efficiency: Backstab Damage +50%]

[Equipment Addition: Strength Attribute +1, Agility Attribute +2]

[Equipment Requirements: Any Fate Level 2, Strength Attribute 10+, Agility Attribute 5+]

[Equipment Features]

[Shadow Hunting (Active Trigger): When in the "Unnoticed" state, you will gain the "Dark Stab" state at regular intervals, and you can choose to actively trigger the "Dark Stab". After triggering, the next attack is considered "Backstab" damage. ]

[Dark Stab Blade (Passive Trigger): When attacking, in addition to causing 100% basic damage, add 20% of the basic damage amount of "Dark Stab" attribute damage. ]

[……]

This is equivalent to a weapon with unconditional backstab and normal "Dark Stab" enchantment effect.

He is currently strictly following the "Assassin" infiltration code, killing with light weapons in one shot, so as not to make too much noise.

He then crouched down, stripped off the cloak of the blood slave whose neck he had slashed before, and put it on himself.

Although it was a little bloody, it was harmless, after all, "blood" was the norm for this group of cultists.

He gently pulled down the cloak, just enough to cover his face, and continued to walk deeper into the shadows.

...

When Luo Xiu really entered the "Blood of Thorns" outpost, he saw the real hell on earth.

It was a completely different scene from the slums outside.

Passing through this dark and deep "entrance", Luo Xiu immediately saw a furnace-like scene like an abandoned factory.

However, this place did not look desolate and dilapidated, but was filled with a mysterious, terrifying, and extremely bloody atmosphere.

The blue moonlight could not shine into this place. The only light source here was the huge blood pool emitting a deep scarlet light in the center.

This made the entire space covered with a layer of light scarlet, like a thin and hazy blood-stained mist.

And just above the blood pool, under the ceiling.

Various corpses were hung in a row with tough noose.

They were not strangled by hanging their necks, but their feet were tied with noose, and they were hung upside down with their heads down just above the blood pool.

Their necks were cut open, and blood flowed out along their throats, gathering in the huge blood pool below.

This made Luo Xiu think of the scene in his previous life when butchers bled their livestock before slaughtering them.

"..."

Luo Xiu felt nauseous for no reason.

Although he had expected such a scene, he still felt sick every time he saw it.

For the "Blood of Thorns" cultists who believe in [Red Lotus], from "blood slaves" to "blood disciples", and finally to the level of "blood sacrifice master", "blood" is their most scarce resource.

Luo Xiu simply stopped looking at the tragedy hanging over his head.

He continued to go deeper.

…

When he passed through a heavy door and walked down the spiral stone stairs to the underground of the "Eighth Slum".

Luo Xiu's vision finally became much clearer.

He was at the beginning of a deep corridor.

This place was the domain of the "superhumans" of "Blood of Thorns" and belonged to the category of forbidden areas.

In Luo Xiu's memory, if he went deeper, he should encounter at least two blood disciples with the second fate of [Red Lotus].

Although with Luo Xiu's current strength, he was no longer afraid of any superhumans of the same level in a head-on battle.

But before he really saw the final boss "Destroyer", Luo Xiu was used to being cautious.

He reached out again to pull down his cloak, and then walked lightly into the depths.

…

Luo Xiu soon saw the first figure in this forbidden area.

Through "detection", it was learned that it was a blood disciple with the second destiny of [Red Lotus], with a level of lv.18. The name was too long, and Luo Xiu was too lazy to remember it.

This blood disciple was crawling on the ground at this time, doing a strange ritual like praying.

"My Lord... Lord... Please give me the blood of eternal life..."

He murmured vague words, but did not notice the uninvited guest behind him.

Luo Xiu had already grasped the dagger and slowly approached the back of the blood disciple without making any sound.

When he came to a distance of only one body length from the blood disciple, Luo Xiu suddenly threw the dagger in his hand forward!

——Puff! Luo Xiu aimed at the heart and directly pierced the blood disciple's chest!

The blood disciple's strange chanting was interrupted. He turned back suddenly, but saw a figure wearing a blood cloak.

"...You, ahem, why did you betray me!"

He asked harshly, and a strange spiritual fluctuation began to emanate from his body!

The single damage that the "Dark Erosion Dagger" can inflict is not high. Even with various buffs, it only reduces the blood disciple's health by more than half!

Sensing the strange fluctuations emanating from the blood disciple, Luo Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared again!

The next moment, Luo Xiu appeared behind the blood disciple.

——Hunting steps!

The "Dark Erosion Dagger" in his hand once again pierced through the blood disciple's spine.

[Vital attack, causing 104 points of actual damage! ]

"——Ah, my righteous backstab!"

This backstab completely reduced the blood disciple's health to zero. With an unbelievable and resentful look, his body fell to one side.

When the prompt for completing the kill popped up, Luo Xiu moved the corpse aside and continued to go deeper.

During this time, Luo Xiu met several other blood slaves who served as "servants".

They were not wary of Luo Xiu wearing a blood-stained cloak, so without exception, they were all wiped out by Luo Xiu.

...

Until Luo Xiu came to the end of the corridor, the second downward spiral staircase appeared in front of him.

According to Luo Xiu's memory, going forward is the deepest part of the underground forbidden area.

He then waited for the cooldown of "Hunting Pace" to be full before continuing to go deeper.

When he reached the bottom, his vision was widened again.

There was another blood pool in front of him, but it was even bigger.

Above the blood pool, there were more and denser corpses hanging upside down.

Luo Xiu vaguely saw that in the middle of the blood pool, there seemed to be a huge and bloated figure soaking.

But from Luo Xiu's current position, he could not detect the figure, he needed to get closer.

Just as Luo Xiu lowered his cloak and prepared to blend in head-on.

Suddenly, another figure wearing a crimson cloak passed by from the corner in front of his vision.

"..."

The crimson cloak looked up and glanced at Luo Xiu in a black cloak, his face turned cold.

"... The honorable Lord Samuel is bathing."

"—— How could a lowly blood slave appear here?!"

Meow, I won't wait any longer, I'll post one chapter at a time

There's more later! (Wait for me to finish coding)
