MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

Dashing towards the Elf I felt the arrow graze my shoulder as I swung my staff aiming for the girl's head.

" Do you even know who I a... "

Bonk...

Her sentence was cut short as my attack killed her in the instant.

Turning my head towards the group holding the boss I noticed their sweating faces as they looked towards my direction. It hasn't been 5 minutes and half of the group including their leader fell.

" Why are you attacking us? "

One of the guys shouted at me while taking a dozen steps back from the boss. He held an expensive looking sword with a hilt made out of light reflecting material.

" You look ugly! "

With a playful voice I responded while walking towards their direction. I saw all of them becoming tense as I was a dozen meters from their location.

The guy I responded to was gnashing his teeth while his eyes were trying to pierce my heart.

' I had business with your boss '

I almost wanted to say, but I held the sentence for myself. It's better if the enemy is enraged, he might make mistakes.

" I'm kidding... "

Giggling, I leaned on the nearby tree. I wanted the group to lower the boss's HP a bit lower.

" You! "

The swordsman's face was distorted from anger while a huge vein bulged out on his forehead.

' Is he a 5 year old kid? '

Looking at how easy it was to anger the guy I stretched my tongue.

" The real reason for me to attack you was, because I've heard you've slept with multiple women and broken their hearts! "

Sharpening my tongue, I noticed a different expression from what I expected. The dude's face turned from an angry to a pale one.

" What?! "

I suddenly heard a feminine shout echo through the graveyard. Turning my head I noticed a woman approaching the unlucky swordsman. She didn't even bother keeping the eyes on the boss which was running rampant. I even saw multiple skeletons rising from their graves.

" Don't... Trust Him! He's lying! Veronica... please! "

The guy started stuttering as the woman was nearing his location.

Looking at his expression a sudden idea came to my mind.

' No way... It was only a lie... right? '

Somehow managing to frame a guy with no proof I hit a jackpot. He really was cheating!

" Pull out your sword "

Veronica spoke not caring about teammates shouting around them or skeletons appearing from all sides.

Looking at her trembling boyfri... Ex, she unsheathed her sword.

While the couple was fighting between themselves I moved towards the other 5 members which were kind of occupied by the Reaper and Skeletons.

Bonk...

Sneaking up behind a monk I used my staff to hit the back of his head. Surprisingly he managed to tank the hit and distance himself from me only to be pierced by a skeleton with a fork.

' Bon appetite! '

With curled up lips I moved towards the other player.

My next target was a huge orc with biceps the size of my head.

' I shouldn't contest in strength '

Looking at his menacing frame I avoided the hammer he swung vertically. Coming as close as possible I wanted to lessen the distance so he wouldn't be able to use his hammer.

Fortunately the Ork was still inexperienced and was swinging his weapon like crazy.

Boom... Boom...

I ignited my staff and hit him a few times before he died. If he were to abandon his weapon and fight bare handed, he would've survived way longer.

Looking back at the couple I noticed that both of them were covered in wounds while the face of the cheating dude was now red from anger and not pale.

' I guess it's the end Romeo '

Casting a Shadow Blast I threw it towards their direction and luckily both of them were hit and died in an instant.

Turning my head to the 3 people left I saw them all engaged with the skeletons.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

One Lightning bolt hit a human's chest immediately killing him and the Grey Orb with Shadow Energy was aimed at the Reaper who was trying to revive one of the dead people.

- 416 Magical Damage!

Seeing the damage numbers above the Boss's health the mage and the monk became pale.

Tik... Tik...

Suddenly I noticed a small red dot hovering above the mage's head. It was a sign of someone recording or live streaming.

...

...

...

Our gazes momentarily met and my hand instantly moved creating another Lightning Bolt that pierced her shoulder, unfortunately she wasn't dead.

Trying to cover up for his teammate the monk moved in close range trying to hold me off until she consumed a HP potion.

Crack...

Unfortunately for him I spun my staff in my palm, so fast it looked like a helicopter's rotor blade. With such a move he would expect for me to engage in close combat, but I suddenly threw my spinning weapon high in the air.

Whoosh... Whoosh...

After reaching its height peak the spinning staff started descending downwards.

" Watch closely~ "

As the monk was looking at the staff I threw a Lightning bolt at his face.

' What a dumbass, why look at the staff that poses no threat to him '

After the Monk was dead due to being distracted by me throwing a staff high in the air my eyes moved towards the mage who hasn't yet ingested a HP pot.

Nearing her I lowered my face and looked directly at the red dot that was filming.

" Let this be a lesson, Theo, do not mess with me "

Piercing the elf's heart with a Bolt I turned my head towards the boss. The reaper had merely any HP left after summoning some more undead.

Unfortunately my plan was once again ruined due to dead group's members rushing back to the graveyard.

Luckily, since they lost 2 levels and half of their items they were severely weakened.

Whoosh...

While the members were trying to enter into the graveyard through the narrow gates I casted a Lightning Bolt that impaled three people.

Surprisingly the number of group members that came were halved in a single spell.

While the other 3 people were visibly pale and regretting their choice to come back I quickly made use of their confusion and killed them with a Shadow Blast.

The only enemy standing in the battle was a boss.

Turning my head towards the reaper I felt the stinging pain in my skull and soon couldn't move.

~ Player Leo has suffered from Status Effect < Stun >

~ Player Leo will not be able to move

~ Duration → 5 seconds

~~~~

While I was immobilized the Reaper quickly dashed towards me planning to take me out before I could move.

Unfortunately for the undead I wasn't alone...

Leap...

A black silhouette leaped from behind the reaper planning to bite him, unfortunately the boss had Advanced Sixth Sense, hence knew about the attack and spun his scythe aiming for the wolf's head.

Whoosh...

The weapon passed through the air not meeting any resistance except light particles which were going back into my chest.

While the Reaper was preoccupied by Fenrir the Stun Status Effect ran out and I could once again move. Seeing the Boss aiming for my pet I quickly absorbed Fenrir into the beast tattoo before launching a series of strikes at the boss's wide open back.

Boom... Boom...

Clearing the nearby skeletons I finally killed the Boss for the second time. Unfortunately I couldn't yet calm down, since I heard shouts and sounds of metal nearing my location.

' Guards! '

Grabbing the boss loot I didn't even manage to burn the bodies of the group, since they were turning into the light particles, fortunately I had time to set the whole graveyard on fire hoping that it would devour the items left behind.

Jumping over the high fence I ran into a dark street planning to escape out of the city.

Clank... Clank...

For some reason, even after leaving the vicinity of the graveyard I still heard the footsteps behind me. Now I had no other choice than to leave the city.

Nearing the stone wall I jumped as high as I possibly could and casted a Shadow Protection under me as an extra platform, so I could boost myself over the wall.

Thud...

Landing I felt slight pain in my ankles.

' Probably sprained '

Limping away from the city wall I leaned on a tree and took a deep sigh.

My eyes were instantly glued to the Grim Reaper loot.

' How come I'm so lucky? '

Recalling all the lucky encounters I've had from getting Shadow Energy to Meeting Ava I started contemplating if I really was blessed by Fortuna.

Whoosh...

Suddenly I recalled the certain reptile type beast that descended down the mountain specifically when I was exploring the cave.

' No way in hell... '

I murmured while taking out an old tome from my inventory.
