Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Xu Bei was gripping his sword, preparing to assist Zhang Yue.

However, he noticed a group of assassins splitting off and charging toward him.

While getting ready for battle, Xu Bei was still worried about his teammate. He turned to the Empire's God of Death behind him and said, "These assassins deal a lot of damage. You're too fragile to go head-to-head with them, so find the right moment to strike!"

After saying this, Xu Bei, who still had a chance to retreat, charged forward without hesitation.

Because he couldn't leave Zhang Yue to face the enemies alone.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

By dodging swiftly or deflecting the assassins' thrown daggers with his sword, Xu Bei, a Level 58 epic-level [Dawn Swordsman], activated his Dawn Sword Shield, which enveloped his entire body.

In the next moment, he dove into the enemy ranks, his sword rising and falling, cutting down one assassin after another who dared to approach him.

Although his skills weren't as sharp as Zhang Yue's, Xu Bei was, after all, one of the top three strongest players in Dragon Country, the most outstanding disciple under the Ice Emperor, and one of the top ten combatants among Dragon Country's younger generation of professionals.

These assassins wanted to take him down, but it wasn't that easy.

With his keen awareness, decent agility, and solid damage output, he managed to kill three assassins in mere moments.

Although the assassins frequently struck Xu Bei, most of the damage was absorbed by his Dawn Sword Shield, which covered his body. Only a small portion of the attacks directly hit him.

This was the hallmark feature of the Dawn Swordsman class.

The Dawn Sword Shield functioned similarly to the [Void Shield], a skill Zhang Yue had previously equipped in his Void Set.

The Dawn Swordsman converts 50% of the damage dealt into a shield, which can stack infinitely until disappearing ten minutes after exiting combat.

In this regard, it was stronger than the Void Shield, which had a limit of five times the user's max health.

However, the Dawn Sword Shield couldn't completely negate all damage the Dawn Swordsman received; it could only reduce 70% of the incoming damage.

When the shield value was sufficient, this effectively granted a 70% damage reduction.

With the protection of his Dawn Sword Shield, Xu Bei wreaked havoc among the enemy ranks.

The Empire's God of Death watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but feel disappointed with the assassins. "Trash is trash. No matter how much money is poured into you, you'll always be useless."

"Looks like I'll have to take care of this myself."

With that, the Empire's God of Death gripped a dagger and started moving toward Xu Bei.

Xu Bei, thinking the Empire's God of Death was coming to help, let his guard down entirely, focusing all his attention on the enemies in front of him.

SWOOSH!!

With a sweeping slash of his sword, Xu Bei unleashed a crescent-shaped blade of light, cutting down several assassins ahead of him.

Just as Xu Bei raised his head to check Zhang Yue's situation and prepare to assist him—

STAB!

A sharp dagger suddenly pierced through Xu Bei's back and emerged from his chest.

At that moment, Xu Bei's body froze, unable to move.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Although he couldn't see who had stabbed him from behind, he already knew: "Liu Sheng, you…"

He recognized this as the signature skill of the rare-grade Despair Assassin class—Despair Blade.

Once the weapon penetrated the target, it immobilized them in a continuous paralyzed state.

And the Empire's God of Death, whom Xu Bei referred to as Liu Sheng, was indeed a Despair Assassin!

Behind him, Liu Sheng's cold voice came through. "Sorry, but to kill Zhang Yue, I had to sacrifice you."

Immobilized, Xu Bei could only watch helplessly as a group of assassins surrounded him.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Several daggers plunged into Xu Bei's body simultaneously.

As the remaining sliver of health above his head was depleted, Xu Bei collapsed to the ground in unwilling defeat.

"Why…"

Looking at Xu Bei's lifeless body, Liu Sheng pulled out a resurrection scroll and placed it on Xu Bei's corpse.

Moments later, Xu Bei's body disintegrated into starlight, which merged into the scroll.

This was one of the rules of the Monster Lair dungeon: when professionals died inside, they couldn't resurrect in the city. Instead, someone else had to use a resurrection scroll to absorb their soul and take it to a resurrection spring for revival.

The assassins had been using this method, designating certain members to "corpse pick" and later resurrect their targets in the city.

Of course, Liu Sheng had no intention of resurrecting Xu Bei at the spring. His sole purpose was to prevent Zhang Yue or anyone else from reviving Xu Bei.

Liu Sheng picked up the resurrection scroll sealing Xu Bei's soul. Holding it triumphantly, he was suddenly chilled by a gust of wind.

Looking up, Liu Sheng saw Zhang Yue's pet—Shadow Predator—charging at him.

Having worked with Zhang Yue for the past two days to kill monsters and complete quests, Liu Sheng was well aware of how terrifying the Shadow Predator's damage output was.

With his own strength, if the Shadow Predator got close, he wouldn't survive a second.

Moreover, the plan was already complete. Now wasn't the time to confront Zhang Yue. The priority was to escape the dungeon with Xu Bei's scroll.

If he got killed and dropped Xu Bei's scroll, allowing Zhang Yue to revive him, their entire plan would fail.

Glancing at the oncoming Shadow Predator and then at Zhang Yue in the distance, Liu Sheng sneered, "Zhang Yue, you're dead!"

With that, Liu Sheng turned and ran.

At this point, Zhang Yue finally understood the Empire Guild's scheme.

Initially, Zhang Yue had thought Xu Bei, Liu Sheng, and the rest of the Empire Guild were working together to lure him into the Monster Lair dungeon to permanently eliminate him.

Now he realized: the straightforward Xu Bei had been nothing more than a pawn.

The true mastermind behind the Empire Guild aimed to frame Xu Bei's death on Zhang Yue. This would give them a legitimate reason to mobilize the Empire Guild's full power against him.

After all, Xu Bei was the deputy leader of the Empire Guild and the beloved disciple of the Ice Emperor.

If Zhang Yue killed him, the consequences were unimaginable.

Thus, Zhang Yue's current goal was to snatch Xu Bei's resurrection scroll from Liu Sheng.

If Xu Bei could be revived, the one in trouble would be Liu Sheng.

Watching Liu Sheng flee, Zhang Yue cast an SS-level rare skill, Thunderstorm, obliterating the assassins blocking his path. Then, he chased after Liu Sheng.

The assassins trying to intercept him on either side were blasted dozens of meters away by Zhang Yue, without even a chance to get close.

Eventually, no one dared to stop him.

Being a rare-grade assassin, Liu Sheng was an expert at running away.

By the time Zhang Yue caught up to him, they had arrived at a chamber.

At that moment, a 24-Wing Extinction Black Dragon descended from the sky, landing in front of Liu Sheng and blocking his path.

Turning around, Zhang Yue followed with his Hell Skeleton King and Shadow Predator, closing in from behind.

"Will you hand it over yourself, or should I take it?" Zhang Yue's calm gaze fixed on Liu Sheng.

Holding the resurrection scroll, Liu Sheng's expression turned anxious.

And just then—

Several squads of Empire Guild professionals suddenly emerged from different tunnels leading into the chamber.

Seeing an opportunity, Liu Sheng pointed at Zhang Yue and shouted, "Zhang Yue killed Vice Leader Xu Bei! Now he wants to kill me to silence me. Protect me, brothers."

The Empire Guild members were initially skeptical of Liu Sheng's claims.

After all, having spent the past two days with Zhang Yue, they could tell his relationship with Xu Bei was quite amicable.

However, seeing Zhang Yue's red-name status and Xu Bei nowhere in sight, they couldn't help but begin to doubt him.

Under Liu Sheng's provocation, the Empire Guild members drew their weapons, ready to confront Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue's gaze turned cold as he looked at Liu Sheng and calmly remarked, "So, you're the only thief here."

With the Empire Guild members present, Liu Sheng believed Zhang Yue wouldn't dare act rashly. His panic turned into arrogance.

Feigning distress but clearly feeling smug, Liu Sheng brazenly taunted Zhang Yue: "What's wrong? Come on, kill me! I'd like to see if you have the guts!"

"Coward! Still think you can kill me? Do it if you dare!"

Zhang Yue replied indifferently, "This is the first time I've heard such a pathetic request."

"Since you insist, as you wish."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Yue cast an S-level skill, Shadow Step, teleporting within attack range.

The next second, he raised his staff and cast a high-speed spell.

Divine Slayer Curse!

BOOM!

A golden light descended from the heavens, striking Liu Sheng directly and leaving him charred inside and out.

Dealing 163,528 damage, the spell killed Liu Sheng instantly.

Smoke rose from his mouth as his lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

The resurrection scroll containing Xu Bei's soul rolled free, lying in plain sight.
