Novel Bin Chapter 79 - 79: 079 It broke, I have become a scum man!
With a “boom”, the Duel Arena where Dean McKenzie was standing violently split open as the restriction was lifted.
Elisa hurriedly rushed into the Duel Arena.
Twenty minutes had passed. She did not know, nor did she dare to imagine, how Dean had spent those twenty minutes. Was he still alive?
But the moment she stepped into the Duel Arena, her heart, which had been in suspense, finally eased.
Dean McKenzie was alive!
Not only was he alive, but he was also particularly well.
He didn’t have a scratch on him.
Only one of the 176 beasts in the Duel Arena was left alive.
This scene put an immediate smile on the worried princess Elisa’s face.
Her rosy cheeked pig face looked particularly naive and cute when she laughed.
“Mr. McKenzie, it’s such a relief that you are okay… to hell with you!”
Midway into her speech, the Princess’s face suddenly changed. In an instant, she appeared at Dean’s side, reaching out and grabbing an inky-faced ghost from his shadow.
Apparently, this was the true form of that Shadow Ghost.
It had been preparing to launch a sneak attack on Dean while he was distracted, but it was forcibly dragged out from the shadows and caught by Princess Pig instead.
“How dare you attack Mr. McKenzie. You should die!’1
The Princess Pig said, as she prepared to crush the Shadow Ghost, but Dean quickly called out to stop her.
“Wait, wait, don’t kill it. This thing can be useful to me!”
As soon as Dean said this, the Princess Pig, who had been previously filled with murderous intent, instantly returned to her gentle, calm, and even somewhat shy disposition.
She obediently responded with an “Okay,” and handed over the Shadow Ghost to Dean.
“Um, could you help me control this thing for a while? I’m not ready to kill it yet!”
Dean had a bold idea in his mind since he saw the attributes of the “Summon Skeleton” Skill. He was intrigued by the ability of these Shadow Ghosts to survive by moving through shadows.
This ability was quite powerful.
When it entered its Shadow Nesting state, Dean’s Mana Attacks were unable to hit it, and the Princess was only able to seize it when it was about to strike.
So, his plan was to keep it for now and, when the conditions were right, he would kill this Shadow Ghost.
“Sure!”
In response to Dean’s request, the Princess Pig hardly ever said no.
With a nod, she took out a Crystal Ball and stuffed the Shadow Ghost into it.
Then, Dean received a black Crystal Ball.
Name: Crystal Ball Sealing the Shadow Ghost
Level: Level 40
Quality: Bronze
Effect: After activation, it can release the Shadow Ghost and prevent the Shadow Ghost from using the Shadow Nesting Ability for ten minutes.
Dean was quite satisfied with these attributes.
Taking the Crystal Ball without any hesitation, he asked, “By the way, do you have any Skill Books or Skill Stones for assassins?”
“Skill Books or Skill Stones for assassins?”
The Princess considered for a moment, then took out a faintly black Skill Stone from her bosom. “Will this do?”
Dean took it and checked it out.
Skill Stone: Enhanced Stealth (Enhance) (One-turn)
Usage Requirements: Assassin Profession Template, One-turn, Agility 50, Spirit 10
Effect: Consume 30 Spirit Power, after activation, the user will enter a stealth state, becoming immunized to twenty percent of all attacks, and sustaining the stealth state for one minute costs 1 point of Spirit Power. The first attack after the removal of the Stealth state will be twice its usual damage.
This Skill was like a godsend for an assassin.
“Thanks!”
Dean again, without reserve, collected this Skill Stone. He even asked her if she had any other Skills for a fighter mage.
His presuming nature aggravated the maid pigs in the background.
However, this time, Dean didn’t manage to get any more Skill Books from the princess.
“I’m sorry, Mr. McKenzie, this is the only Skill Stone I have, so I can’t provide you with what you want now.
Also, the opportunity you have been waiting for has arrived.”
“Opportunity?” Dean was confused. “What opportunity?”
“Didn’t you want to leave Pink City? Well, now is your chance!”
The maid pig said enraged.
Hearing these words, Dean was taken aback.
Am I leaving already?
No, it should be said that the time to pay the price has come so soon?
Dean hadn’t had his fill of the benefits yet.
“Uh, I suddenly feel like I don’t want to leave that much. Can I stay a few more days?”
“No!”
Elisa shook her head, tender yet resolute.
“This opportunity is hard to come by. If you miss it, it would be difficult to find another one, so you have to go!”
“Alright then, let’s go!”
Dean arched his eyebrows. Since there was no room for delay, he had to face it.
Although he did not know what this pig-faced Princess was planning for him with these previous two months of grooming, it didn’t matter.
He had been in this instance for more than a month now; a day or two had passed in reality, and his group had probably left by now.
Under these circumstances, regardless of what the Princess’s plans were, he wasn’t afraid.
If worse comes to worst, Dean will just run away!
With nothing to be afraid of, Dean quickly left the Arena with the princess and entered a narrow path inside the city.
Soon, the princess brought Dean to a residence— more accurately, to a secret passage inside of a residence.
“Mr. McKenzie, this is the secret passage I have prepared for you. Through here, you can leave Pink City.
Once you leave the secret passage, go southwest, cross the Ghostly Forest, and then cross the Fierce Wind Gorge. A twenty or thirty mile journey from there will lead you to a human kingdom.
Also, take this!”
While briefing Dean, the Princess took out a heavy pink bag.
Without even opening it, just by the feel of it, Dean could estimate that there were at least a hundred or two Gold Coins in there.
Without any reservations, Dean took it. After all, why would he feel ashamed to take money, even if it amounted to selling his own life?
While Dean took the money without guilt, Princess Pig bade him a fond farewell, “In the human world, money is a necessity. This should be enough for you to use for a while.
Also, if you want to obtain the Necromancer Inheritance, you can go to ‘Fern City’ and look for someone named ‘Crohn Merlin The Dead Ola’. You may be able to obtain the Necromancer Inheritance from him.
That’s all I have to tell you, may the Goddess of Fortune be with you!”
Looking at the ruddy-faced and reluctant Princess before him, Dean thought her sentiments were somewhat redundant.
He had already revealed his intentions, so he didn’t need to beat around the bush. He really didn’t have to act like this.
“Is that all? If you’re done, then I’m leaving!”
Dean, with a wave of his hand, turned and went straight into the secret passage. As soon as Dean entered, the Princess ruined the entrance of the secret passage from behind.
Dean wasn’t surprised at all; he grasped his earnest money and continued on.
All the way, Dean prepared to leave the instance prematurely if he saw the situation turn undesirable.
A few hours later, Dean appeared, with a complicated look, at the exit of the secret passage.
In front of his eyes was a newly appeared system prompt.
From this system prompt, Dean received two pieces of information, one good, one bad.
The good news was that there was no danger in the secret passage. Princess Pig did not appear to have had any tricks up her sleeve.
The bad news was that he seemed to have become a complete jerk!
