I'm a God in an Online Game-Chapter 34

Revenge

Black Panther Cliff was empty of other players, and when Meng Jingtian was less than one hundred meters away, he was noticed by Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

The two glanced at each other in alarm and then began to back away, deciding without hesitation to de-aggro the nearly dead Black Panther King.

They had worked as assassins of Godslayer Hall for a very long time now, but this was the first time a mission target had ever come after them.

Even when ordinary players were killed by assassins of Godslayer Halls, they would never dare to think about causing trouble for Godslayer Hall.

One factor was that Godslayer Hall was an organization of assassins, not just one assassin. A single player couldn’t shake an organization like this, so what did it matter if they took revenge on one assassin? All that would happen is that they would be killed by Godslayer Hall until they withdrew from the game.

The second factor was that for Class B missions, once the target had been killed until they had no equipment, they no longer had the ability to kill even one assassin of Godslayer Hall.

Even when it was a guildmaster who wanted revenge, Godslayer Hall was not a guild, so there was no way of starting a guild war.

The assassins serving Godslayer Hall were spread out all around and normally played their own game.

Although a guild had numerous people, if it split up into groups that went to find the assassins of Godslayer Hall, there was no guarantee that the guild could win.

On the contrary, the assassins of Godslayer Hall just needed to kill the officers of the guild a few times to ensure that the guild would yield and stop messing around. 𝗳𝙧𝘦𝒆𝑤𝙚𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃ℯ𝑙. 𝐜𝐨𝑚

Thus, no one had yet tried to take revenge on Godslayer Hall.

“How did you know we were here?” Jade Girl nervously asked, turning around the umbrella in her hand.

Their recent clash had made both of them understand that they were no match for Meng Jingtian. Their superiors had already assigned another assassin to this mission, so this matter should have ceased to have anything to do with them.

“You guys know of Bai Xiaosheng, right?” Meng Jingtian replied.

“What are you thinking? Even if you kill us several more times, Godslayer Hall won’t cancel the pursuit on you.” Golden Boy frowned as he attempted to be reasonable with Meng Jingtian.

“You should know that we’re just people who take money to remove problems for other people. Why did you come to find us instead of finding the person who hired us?” Jade Girl asked.

“And besides, we failed to assassinate you, so this matter has nothing more to do with us.”

“I will naturally go to find the person who wants to kill me, but before that, there’s no harm in me coming to find you to settle accounts.” Meng Jingtian grinned.

“Even if it’s Godslayer Hall, since you dared to accept the job, you should have been ready for retaliation!”

“Pft! Who do you think you are? Godslayer Hall’s myth will never be destroyed. We can’t kill you, so there will naturally be even stronger assassins. You alone want to shake Godslayer Hall? Can an ant topple an elephant?” Jade Girl couldn’t help but cover her mouth and mockingly laugh.

Meng Jingtian did not answer. He was also curious to see if an ant like him could shake Godslayer Hall. He would just keep going and see how it went!

At the very least, he had the ability to avenge himself on Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

Meng Jingtian cut the chatter and sent down a Divine Punishment.

Boom!

Jade Girl was instantly sent back to the spawn point.

The overwhelming gap in stats was akin to the gap between the heavens and earth. Even the best playing skill couldn’t overcome this. This was a game.

The moment Meng Jingtian used his skill, Golden Boy used a skill that turned him into seven afterimages that all moved several meters away from Jade Girl, a sign of his formidable abilities.

Last time, they had been sent back to spawn by this one skill, but he would not repeat the error.

After dodging the attack, Golden Boy waved his folding fan. The invisible power of wind turned into two large hands that grabbed at Meng Jingtian.

Last time, Meng Jingtian had been immobilized by this same skill.

But now that Meng Jingtian had experience from last time, he dived down and just barely managed to escape the skill.

Golden Boy’s eyes narrowed. This reaction speed was on the level of an expert player.

Not caring what he thought, Meng Jingtian activated the Wind-Sweeping Sleeve’s attack speed boost and waved around his saber.

Golden Boy gravely waved his hand, and his body flashed with green light, seemingly some sort of defensive skill. Meanwhile, his folding fan sliced at Meng Jingtian, the edges of the fan glinting like a cold blade.

“-5043”

“-5121”

“-4951”

Three red numbers popped out of Golden Boy’s body, causing him to cry out in alarm, “How?!”

He had used a damage-reducing skill that reduced damage by 30% for 5 seconds. Meng Jingtian was only using ordinary attacks, so how could his damage be so high!?

“-6041” As he yelled in shock, Meng Jingtian attacked the nearly dead Golden Boy one last time, sending him back to spawn.

Before dying, Golden Boy saw that his Slicing Wind Fan skill had only taken four thousand HP off Meng Jingtian, not even matching one of Meng Jingtian’s ordinary attacks. It almost made him vomit blood.

“Huh, two purple items. As expected of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, they’re incredibly wealthy! It’s even better than fighting a boss,” Meng Jingtian muttered as he picked up the two dropped items.

One of the items was a purple belt, which he promptly equipped, gaining a significant boost in stats.

Meng Jingtian didn’t go to find the other assassins of Godslayer Hall. He went back to the spawn point to guard it, just as Golden Boy and Jade Girl had done to him in ‘Grand Desolation’.

One hour later, the seventh-ranked Golden Boy and Jade Girl left the top ten.

Two hours later, they had fallen out of the top fifty.

Three hours later, they had fallen out of the top one hundred.

They had already been killed several dozen times by Meng Jingtian and had dropped more than half of their purple equipment.

These two who had once taken the lives of players as if they were taking items out of their pockets began to truly feel the terror of ‘assassins’.

They had seemingly switched places with the assassins they had killed, becoming the prey to an ‘assassin’.

That figure would appear at their side at any moment and take away their lives.

They felt like Meng Jingtian’s toys. The moment they revived, they would have to constantly worry about their imminent death, pushing both of them to their breaking point.

There was no way to continue playing this game. As they watched their items drop and their stats fall, they were overcome by a sense of helplessness that made them want to give up on this game.

After being killed by Meng Jingtian several times, they had asked for reinforcements from Godslayer Hall.

...

But Godslayer Hall wasn’t a guild. A guildmaster’s order could not order a large number of players to rush to their assistance.

The assassins of Godslayer Hall were rather free. Even if their superiors gave them a mission to kill a certain target, the assassin could choose when they executed the mission.

Thus, Godslayer Hall’s reply had been that the next assassin was already on the way and that they should hold on for now.

Golden Boy and Jade Girl persisted for another hour before they felt that they could hold no longer. Just when they wanted to log off, they realized it was too late. Meng Jingtian had seemingly expected this and ceased to give them any chance to catch their breaths. He remained at the spawn point and ceaselessly killed them, giving them no chance to escape the battle or log off.

And as he was a god, the NPCs at the safe zone completely ignored Meng Jingtian’s actions.
