“But real genius-level professionals wouldn’t come to a fully undeveloped dungeon like this p>
The car slowly drove away from the teleport portal.
Soon, a massive city wall came into view. It was about 200 feet tall, as tall as a 20-story building.
The wall didn’t just block monsters. It also gave professionals a better place to fight.
The taxi passed through the wall and left the protection field. Outside, defensive structures were everywhere.
The farther out they went, the higher the players’ levels became. The monsters also grew
stronger.
Finally, after driving about 12 miles, they reached another, much lower wall. Battle cries filled the air. The Swarm was everywhere. Countless professionals were fighting to stop the invasion.
“Let’s go. We’re getting on the wall too!” Joanna said.
She got out of the car and joined the defense.
Nighthowl activated Celestial Gaze.
It felt as if the entire planet was under his watch.
He blinked once. In that instant, huge numbers of the Swarm dropped dead.
With just that move, Nighthowl killed over 100,000 Swarm creatures.
The battlefield was suddenly cleared.
The professionals who had been fighting froze for a moment. Then they started shouting.
“Hey! Who stole my kills p>
“Oh man, thank you! I was one second away from dying p>
“What just happened? Did an SSS-talent player show up? Someone cast a forbidden spell p>
Everyone was in shock, looking around.
But Nighthowl had cast his skill high in the air. His attack was hidden. Aside from the area directly beneath him, no one noticed where it came from.

Luckily, she didn’t level up. Otherwise, the golden glow would have exposed her.
She whispered, “If your skill has long range, attack monsters farther away. If it’s safe enough, move to another area to hunt. Don’t fight other professionals over the same target p>
Nighthowl nodded.
“I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll handle things here p>
“You don’t need to fight nonstop,” Joanna added. “Every night at midnight, come back. Got it p>
After returning, they could convert affinity points into attribute points.
Nighthowl lifted his communicator and gave a small wave.
“I’ve already set an alarm p>
Joanna had bought the communicators for both of them.
They couldn’t be used across dungeons, but the three of them could still communicate through soul links.
Just as everything seemed settled, Nighthowl suddenly felt a surge of hostile intent.
He had experienced this before. When a necromancer attacked a village, someone had tried to strike him while he was fighting the boss.
Back then, he hadn’t fought back, because he didn’t want to cause trouble for Joanna after dealing with Cedric.
Now he knew something important. These people could be killed.
What made him truly furious was that the killing intent was clearly aimed at Joanna.
Under Celestial Gaze, the hidden figures had nowhere to hide.
They were already within 10 feet.
At the same time, Joanna sensed it too.
The hair on the back of her neck stood up. A powerful warning screamed danger.
Joanna had mastered the Heart Strike.
During her fight with Bruce, this skill had become pure instinct. She might not sense malice

Bruce was an assassin.

With his talent Ultra-Low Presence (S Rank), he never drew aggro and was perfect for assassination. Even so, Joanna could still feel his attacks.
These people were far worse.
An assassin was coming for her.

Joanna instantly released two chains. Her vitality surged. At the same time, her whip lashed out like a living snake, striking the empty air behind her.
Crack!
The whip forced an assassin’s figure into view.
“So you noticed?” the assassin said calmly, wearing a bloodthirsty grin.
“Die p>
At that moment, five figures appeared behind Joanna, Nighthowl, and Alwyn.
Three of them stabbed toward Joanna’s spine.
“Crippling Strike (Silver-Tier): Assassin Skill. Strikes the target’s spinal joint, crippling them and reducing mobility p>
“Venom Bind p>
In an instant, massive webs burst out around Joanna, spreading across a 60-foot radius.
All five attackers were caught.
Before they could struggle, a terrifying heat exploded from beneath their feet.
It was like a volcanic eruption.
Five pillars of magma shot up over 10 feet high, engulfing them.
This was Alwyn’s skill-Magma Furnace.
The flames lasted a full five seconds before fading.

None of the five assassins survived. Their bodies were completely burned away, leaving only ash that hardened on the ground as the magma cooled.
Not only that, but at least ten pieces of gear dropped around the area.
