C30 Sneak attack 1
Sneak attack 1
I gripped the spear tightly, and jumped down from the tree, and aimed the spear’s pointed head towards the head of the guard. As I was falling, I borrowed the gravity to accelerate which added force to my action.
I used my strength and when I reached at a certain distance, with the spear, I pierced his head from the back near his neck region. As he was a Refinement stage cultivator, he will have a strong skull compared to a normal mortal human. So instead of risking my one chance to kill, I aimed at the joint area of his skull and neck. And the spear easily pierced and went through.
Now, it might sound weird, but the four people I killed were either hit in the back of the head or strikes near the neck area. To clear some doubts, I had to hit those regions, because this is one of the most vulnerable areas for quick kill. And I don’t have the strength to fight or kill by hitting in other areas, so I have to go for some cheap tricks.
And I want to clear a thing, I don’t have any fetish regarding neck area or something. That’s all due to circumstances and nothing else.
As I landed, the guard struggled for a little but after few moments, I heard the system notification;
‘ding’
‘Refinement stage human killed’
‘+2600 exp’
‘Level up’
‘Level up’
‘Level up’
‘Obtained 60 Free stat Points and 6 extra Free stat Points for levelling up consecutively 3 times’
‘-10 HP’
Reading the system notification and leveling up 3 times, I got happy and when I received 66 Free stat Points, I felt like that I hit a lottery.
You know, from 11 to 20 levels, I will get 20 Free stat Points for each level up. And the additional 2 stat Points to all my stats and multiplied by 3 (for leveling up 3 times), which is 6 stat points added to my all stats, I felt my strength, defense, senses and others becoming stronger. Before this kind of feeling was almost negligible when I leveled up, but now the addition of stats points to my all stats makes me feel stronger than before.

=================
I almost neglected, the loss of HP as I have bought many HP potions, I feel that losing 10 HP is not a big deal. Well of course, at the beginning I did not have money and no access to HP potions, but now I do.
You know greed is a harmful thing. And the people also call ‘greed is one of the seven sins and named it has (Godly Sin of Greed), included in the (7 Godly sins)’.
But this guard, for a few coins, was blinded by the greed and when his companion left, he stayed back and searched the dead body to obtain some money. But now, because of that greed he could not sense his death approaching. Now, he is dead and he cannot enjoy his own wealth.
Well, I decided not search the guard’s body, as I feel that killing the other Guard is more important than finding some money which would hardly get me, 1 or 2 (Lvl 1 HP or MP potion).
I took out 3 (Lvl 1 HP potion) and 1 (Lvl 2 MP potion) to restore my HP and MP. As I have leveled up, so HP and MP limits have increased. Plus, I have consumed MP already and need it to be full as I have to run after the guard and activate ‘Sprint’.
After I drank the HP and MP potions, I activated the ‘Sprint’ skill and started running in the direction in which the other guard ran.
As I was running, I gave the system command to add 3 free stat points to ‘strength’ stat and 5 free stat points to ‘Agility’ stat at an interval of 15 seconds. And stop when the number of stat points added reaches 40.
Right now, I have 66 Free stat points, so I am investing 40 stat points, to increase my overall strength and speed for better chance at fighting against the guards or to handle any other danger, I will encounter.
After 1 minute or so, I saw the other guard, who was running ahead of me towards the direction from which a women’s scream came earlier.
I immediately activated ‘stealth’ skill and prepared the spear I was holding to pierce it when I get closer to the guard.
It took me few seconds, to get closer to the guard and he was about 10 meters away from me. When I suddenly heard the system notification,
‘ding’
‘Sprint skill leveled up’
When I read the notification, I felt my speed increase and I was just away 1 meter away from the guard. I immediately lifted my spear, gathered strength and made a piercing action with full strength.
It looked like the guard felt a sense of crises and immediately ducked by falling on the ground; and missed my blow.
After I missed, I immediately turned around and once again pierced the guard who is still on the ground. This time though, the guard reacted a little late, and the spear stabbed into his right arm. But I still failed to kill him again.
As I was prepared to strike again, the guard distanced himself away from me.
He looked at me and said angrily,
“Bastard kid, you dare to hurt me? I swear that if I don’t kill you today, then I will change my surname to yours.”
Looks like the guard is really pissed off.
With that the guard took his spear in his left hand and tried stabbing me. Although, one my strike pierced his right arm, but it did not pierce deep enough and his hand can still function.
I dodged his strike and his spear did not touch me. But after he missed, he continued his offence and I continued to dodge.
Gradually I assumed defensive position and the guard was on offensive. My eyes could not keep up with his offense but luckily my agility saved me.
Realizing, if this continues, I might get injured, I decided to increase my ‘sense’ stat.
“system add 5 free stat points in the ‘Sense’ stat”
As system followed my command, I felt that my 6 senses improved. Earlier, I could hardly see a blurry shadow of the spear, but now I can see the spear trajectory properly compared to earlier.
The guard was clearly shocked by my speed, he felt that his strike would connect to my body but at the last moment I luckily dodged it. And when it happened repeatedly, he felt frustration build up.
