Chapter 144
Challenge the Impossible
The most secretive being I’ve ever encountered was undoubtedly the Dark Emperor.
Gi So-yul.
An assassin ranked 379th in the world.
Her steps are as light as feathers, and her movements are silent.
Grrr! Woof!
But today, I have a feeling that rank might be updated.
Grrrr…….
A Shepherd emerged from the Shadow, baring its teeth.
Crack!
An eerie roar, unlike the sound of ordinary canine teeth, echoed.
‘Damn it.’
I immediately twisted my waist and desperately thrust the weapon I had transformed into a spear.
It was fortunate that I had developed some reaction speed in the previous Theme.
If it weren’t for the preliminary training, I would have been eliminated already.
Thwack!
Fortunately, its defense was weak, and it was knocked away with a dull sound.
‘The problem is.’
This isn’t all there is.
If this was all the speed it had, I wouldn’t have bothered mentioning the name Dark Emperor.
“Everyone, be careful!”
I shouted.
“There are more terrifying guys lurking nearby!”
The ones fighting on the front lines now weren’t all there were.
There are many Shadow Shepherds.
And they come in various types.
How do I know?
“You… brat! Get your head on straight. Those guys are no joke.”
The Old Man next to me was chattering away.
“Some of those over there have stealth abilities that even you can’t sense. And one of them… is one that even I can barely find.”
‘Seriously?’
In the far reaches of the universe.
Has the absolute ruler of the Shepherd world appeared?
If the Mansul Old man, who used to play with Gi So-yul with one hand, says that, I need to be on my guard.
