Chapter 163 Release

Once you enter the Shadow Dance stage, the concept of skills changes.

This was a completely new realm, a world that Nie Yan had never touched in his previous life. He glanced at the effects of the Release skill.

Release: State skill, upgradeable. Automatically upgrades all skills in the player's skill bar to free skills. Any action is not restricted by skills, and has an attack effect. Skill duration is 20 minutes, skill cooldown is one natural day.

After seeing the effect of the Release skill, Nie Yan was suddenly shocked. It was indeed awesome that all skills were automatically upgraded to free skills, but what did the second half of the sentence mean: any action is not restricted by skills, and has an attack effect?

Nie Yan was silent for a long time. A trace of doubt flashed in his mind. He speculated about it, but he had to use the Release skill to confirm its specific effect. It was useless to imagine it out of thin air.

"Let's put this skill book away first. It can only be used after successfully changing class to Shadow Dancer."

Nie Yan put the Release skill book into his backpack. Getting this skill book made all the risks he took before worth it.

After searching the stone chamber and finding nothing else, Nie Yan walked out, leading the Paladin Leves and the Golden Earth Dragon towards the distance.

A lot of Dark Maidens refreshed along the way. As they progressed, the huge underground palace was gradually revealed before Nie Yan's eyes. It was winding and curved, like a maze. At the end of the corridor, a huge stone door appeared before him. The stone door was five or six yards high, with a huge demon relief on it, eyes like copper bells and a ferocious face.

The door was half-covered, just enough for one or two people to pass through. Looking over there, there were more than twenty humanoid monsters in red robes walking around the door. These monsters were obviously not Dark Maidens. Nie Yan did not dare to continue forward, and ordered the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Leves to stand by in place, while he slowly sneaked over.

He threw an Investigation skill at one of the humanoid monsters.

Blood Sacrifice Maiden: Level 120 Elite, Health 5,000,000/5,000,000.

They were elite creatures. There were more than twenty elites here. With so many ranged monsters, Nie Yan shouldn't be able to deal with them.

These elite creatures were different from the previous Dark Maidens. If more than twenty Level 120 elites released attack magic together, their powerful spell damage could instantly kill the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Leves.

These Blood Sacrifice Maidens guarded the door, looking around and walking around, but the distance between them never exceeded two yards.

The Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Leves couldn't get through, but Nie Yan had a way.

After thinking for a while, Nie Yan summoned the Golden Earth Dragon back and ended the summoning of Paladin Leves. He had summoned Paladin Leves for about three hours. If the hire fee was calculated according to four hours, Nie Yan would have to pay 80,000 gold coins, which was a terrifying amount.

Selling ordinary spoils would probably only get him back 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins at most, but getting a Shadow Dance skill book made it all worthwhile. Shadow Dance skill books were priceless, and couldn't be bought on the market for any amount of gold coins.

Calculated this way, summoning Paladin Leves was still worth it. Paladin Leves' powerful combat power was definitely worth the price.

A vicious idea flashed in Nie Yan's mind. When he fought the Sacred Guardians Guild, he would hire Paladin Leves out to let the people of the Sacred Guardians see this extremely powerful paladin. That would probably be awesome.

He glanced at the corner of his backpack. There were still five random teleport scrolls. They should be enough if he encountered any unexpected situations.

Although the random teleport scrolls of the Nirvana Flame were in short supply and often not enough, Nie Yan always had enough random teleport scrolls here. After all, he was the guild leader, and Guo Huai would definitely reserve a certain amount for Nie Yan each time.

Nie Yan took out the Creeper Ring, activated the skill on the Creeper Ring, stuck to the wall, bypassed the Blood Sacrifice Maidens, reached the top of the stone door, and slipped in through the crack in the door.

Using the Creeper Ring to avoid monsters was very effective. It could be said that it never failed.

After slipping through the door, he looked into the distance, and a wide and magnificent hall appeared before Nie Yan's eyes. In front of the hall stood a huge bronze statue, which looked somewhat similar to Branigan. It was covered in gold and was about five or six yards high. The statue had its palms spread out, and a silver-gray leather armor was suspended in mid-air. Nie Yan didn't know what material the leather armor was made of, but it emitted a bright silver luster under the light.

After seeing the leather armor in the distance, the Holy Light Stone in Nie Yan's accessory bar shone even more brightly.

That's it!

The leather armor in the distance was one of the Abak set components that Nie Yan was looking for. Nie Yan didn't know what the leather armor was called yet.

Stone platforms were placed on both sides of the hall, with many candles densely lit on them. The flickering lights filled the entire hall with a sense of mystery.

The hall was very empty, and there were no monsters active. Could it be that the leather armor was placed here unguarded?

Nie Yan was surprised and uncertain. Getting the leather armor shouldn't be that easy. He didn't dare to go down and slowly moved towards it while sticking to the wall.

After a while, a humanoid monster in a black robe walked out from behind a pillar and walked back and forth on the red carpet in the center of the hall.

Seeing this humanoid monster, Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. This figure looked somewhat familiar. He immediately remembered that it was the Ghost Princess Ayana!

The Ghost Princess would be resurrected thirty days after being killed, becoming even stronger. She would continue to hinder Nie Yan from obtaining the Abak set.

Calculating the time, the Ghost Princess Ayana had indeed been resurrected.

He wondered how strong she was this time.

Being targeted by the Ghost Princess Ayana was a bit troublesome. He should be able to teleport away with a random teleport scroll after taking the Abak leather armor.

Nie Yan thought to himself that he did have a way to bypass the Ghost Princess's attention and get the Abak leather armor.

Looking ahead, the leather armor was about ten yards away from the nearest wall.

Nie Yan, like a gecko, stuck to the wall and slowly moved towards the direction where the leather armor was located.

The Ghost Princess Ayana seemed to sense something and looked towards Nie Yan's direction.

Nie Yan immediately stuck tightly to the wall, cast a few stealth-enhancing state skills on himself, and dared not move.

The Ghost Princess Ayana's gaze swept over Nie Yan, but in the end, she found nothing and continued to wander.

Nie Yan continued his actions, getting closer and closer to the Abak leather armor, about ten yards away. He used his feet and right hand to hold on tightly, stretched out his left hand, aimed at the Abak leather armor in the distance, and with a whoosh, a strand of spider silk shot towards the Abak leather armor in the distance.
