The Righteous Player(s)

eeing Annan’s uncharacteristic and awkward reaction, the two felt that something was wrong, but they could only respond like this.

“I see.”

Annan said with concern, “Then if the three of you are standing here while chatting, you must be tired.
Do you want to have a rest in the room? He shouldn’t have gone far yet.
Should I call for him? It’s warm inside the room.
There are some sugar cakes on the table.
They are delicious…”

“Don’t.
He’s going… to help the cooking on the deck.”

One of the young guards saw Annan was about to chase over; he quickly stopped Annan.
He said with a kind smile, “Aren’t we going to go ashore tomorrow? We will spend the last night on the ship tonight.
Then, we can have a feast!”

“That’s great.”

Annan sighed with regret, “I thought he is looking for Instructor Klaus.”

The two were speechless.

The two of them were shocked in their heart.
They almost thought that this foolish guy had realized something.
However, the two of them were also newbies.
They didn’t know what to say to hold John at this time.

Just when the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Annan suddenly said, “I feel a little bit cold.
Let’s find a quiet place to practice our swordsmanship and move our body.”

“I like that idea.”

One of the guards responded quickly, “I know a place…”

“Yeah, I’ll go too.”

The other person followed.

Seeing Annan’s request, the two of them showed apparent joy.
The two looked at each other and sneered silently.

…Hey, do you want to make your malicious intent to hurt me so obvious?

It’s completely undisguised.
How simple-minded is this John in your heart? Fine, it is in easy difficulty after all.

Annan was a little disappointed.

He just showed an honest and harmless professional smile and said politely, “Lead the way.”

Soon, the three of them circled the place and turned to a relatively empty small room.
They began to slowly sort out the surrounding wine barrels, trying to make space.

At this time, Annan had roughly determined that Don Juan’s room should be in the middle of the ship’s lower deck.
There were separate corridors outside the two doors of the room.

The ship was roughly more than seventy meters long.
There was a lack of space.
The rooms were adjacent to each other – except for Don Juan’s room.
It was a larger stand-alone room.
The other rooms were close to each other, including the guard captain’s room.

In other words, anyone who wanted to enter Don Juan’s room would need to make a special trip to this side.
Even if they were found at the door, they had no excuses to explain because only Don Juan’s room was not adjacent to any room.

So, the group brought “Annan” here.
The sole purpose was to hold Annan in this spot while having someone else entering Don Juan’s room.

If “Annan” continued to stay in the room, they might knock on the door after a while and look for an excuse to get him out.

“Where is Sir Benjamin?”

Annan asked suddenly.

“He’s still reading in the captain’s room.”

One of the guards replied casually, “Except for Master Don Juan that prideful sir doesn’t want to see anyone.

“What about the instructor?”

Annan asked, “I am leaving my job without authorization.
Won’t the instructor catch me?”

“Don’t worry, John.
The instructor usually stays on the deck.”

Another guard said with certainty, “Only, he has the [Eagle Eye] ability.
He needs to keep his vision on the surrounding sea.
There is no time to get off the deck and inspect the cabin.”

“Oh…”

Annan murmured.

Annan narrowed her eyes slightly as he watched the two guards slowly stacking the barrels with their backs to him.

He slowly drew out the sword that belonged to John.
The sword edge was shining with a cold light.

He didn’t want to wait for the enemy to step on his face before he fought back bitterly.

No player can resist the temptation of backstabs!

He didn’t hesitate and directly thrust the sword at the young guard closest to him.
It directly pierced through his back!

The sharp sword pierced straight in.
The crimson tip emerged from the opponent’s chest.

Then, Annan withdrew his sword horizontally and splashed out trails of scarlet blood on the other person’s face.
Annan slashed the victim’s right lung in half.
Blood gurgled into the lungs.

“Behold my righteous backstab!”

After the successful ambush, Annan suddenly shouted.

His voice was thunderous, shocking the other person.
The opponent almost lost grip on the sword.

At this moment, Annan raised the sword in his hand and slashed it straight at the other person’s neck.

The young guard was shocked.

He shrank his body and subconsciously wanted to step aside, but he was still a step late.
He could only temporarily raise his left arm to block the oncoming attack.

But, Annan didn’t slash the opponent’s forearm vertically.
Instead, he sliced it diagonally, immediately peeling off a piece of flash on the arm.

“Uh-!”

The young guard let out a miserable cry and stumbled back.

But, he unexpectedly did not lose the ability to fight back due to pain.

Annan saw that a faint red light burst out of the young guard’s heart.
Numerous slender muscles were bursting out of his right arm that wielded the sword.
There seemed to be countless red insects swimming in his blood.
His right arm holding the sword had a firmer grip.

The remaining guard tried to counterattack with a sword.
Annan stepped forward and parried the sword sideways.

The opponent’s oncoming long sword was easily deflected away.
The sword edge swept past the opponent’s right shoulder that was holding the sword.
Blood was shed again.

It was just an ordinary sword, yet the young guard’s blood vessels seemed to burst directly.
The mutilated flesh dropped to the floor seemed to come to life.
It wiggled on the floor like a living thing.

The young guard couldn’t help but let go of the sword.
He let out a miserable wail as the hilt hit the floor.
The muscles of his face twitched frantically as if something was about to jump out from it.

“What the hell is this?”

Watching this scene, Annan suddenly felt intense anxiety.

Is this the supernatural strength of this world?

Annan’s instinct told him that if the opponent were allowed to continue his transformation, it would be the second stage battle like those in the game.

With his mind calculating hastily, Annan’s eyes ignited silently with a cold light.
The blade of the sword was instantly covered with a thin layer of frost.

Why don’t I try Frost Sword!?
