Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 60: My righteous backstab! (Please read on!)

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 Bahrain's blacksmith shop in Chenxi Town.

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

The weapon in his hand is the "Dark Erosion Dagger" created through "Abyss Inscription"!
[Equipment Name: Dark Erosion Dagger (White Normal)]

[Equipment type: Dagger/Extraordinary weapon]

[Equipment Efficiency: Backstab Damage +50%]

[Equipment bonus: Strength attribute +1, Agility attribute +2]

[Equipment requirements: any second-level destiny, strength attribute 10+, agility attribute 5+]

【Equipment Features List】

[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 "Dark Stab". After triggering, the next attack will be considered "Backstab" damage. ]

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

【…】

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

He is currently still strictly following the "Assassin" infiltration rules, 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 wiped before, and put it on himself.

Although there is some blood on it, it is not a big deal. After all, "blood" is the norm for this group of cultists.

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

……

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

It was a completely different scene from the slums outside.

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

However, this place does not appear desolate and dilapidated. Instead, it is filled with a mysterious, terrifying, and extremely bloody atmosphere.

The blue moonlight cannot shine into this place. The only light source here is the huge pool of blood in the center that emits a deep scarlet light.

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

And just above this pool of blood, under the ceiling.

Corpses of all kinds were hung in rows with tough noose.

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

Their necks were cut and blood flowed out of their throats, gathering into a huge pool of blood below.

This made Luo Xiu think of the scene in his previous life where butchers would bleed the animals before slaughtering them.

"..."

Luo Xiu felt inexplicably nauseous.

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 the [Red Lotus], from the level of "blood slaves" to "blood disciples" and finally to the level of "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", "blood" is their most scarce resource.

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

He continued to go deeper.

……

After passing through a heavy door and walking down the spiral stone staircase, you will enter the underground of the "Eighth Slum".

Luo Xiu's vision finally became much clearer.

The place where he was at this moment was the beginning of a deep corridor.

This place was already the domain of the "supernormals" of the "Blood of Thorns", and was a forbidden area. In Luo Xiu's memory, if he went deeper, he would encounter at least two blood disciples with the second destiny of [Red Lotus].

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

But before actually meeting the final boss, "The Destroyer", Luo Xiu was habitually cautious.

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

……

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

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

This blood disciple was currently crawling on the ground, performing a strange ritual like praying.

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

He murmured incoherent words but was unaware of the uninvited guest behind him.

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

When he was only one body length away from the blood disciple, Luo Xiu suddenly threw the dagger in his hand forward!
——Puff! Luo Xiu aimed at the heart and pierced the blood disciple's chest directly!

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

"…You, ahem, why did you betray me!"

He questioned harshly, and strange spiritual fluctuations began to emanate from his body!
The single damage that the "Dark Corrosion Dagger" can inflict is not very 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 pace!
The "Dark Erosion Dagger" in his hand once again pierced through the blood disciple's back.

[Attack on the vital point, causing 104 points of actual damage! ]

"——I'm backstabbing you with justice!"

This backstab reduced the blood disciple's health to zero. With a look of disbelief and resentment, he fell to the side.

When the notification that the kill was complete popped up, Luo Xiu moved the corpse aside and continued to go deeper inside.

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

They were not on guard against Luo Xiu who was wearing a blood-stained cloak, so without exception, they were all wiped out by Luo Xiu.

……

It was not until Luo Xiu reached the end of the corridor that the second downward spiral staircase appeared in front of him.

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

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

When he reached the bottom, his vision opened up again.

Another pool of blood appeared in front of him, but it was even larger.

Above the pool of blood, 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 cannot detect that figure, he needs to get closer.

Just as Luo Xiu pulled down 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 man in the crimson cloak raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiu who was wearing a black cloak, his face turned cold.

"…The honorable Lord Samuel is taking a bath."

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