Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power-Chapter 106 - : Who Gave You the Courage to Oppose Me?

Once the Tide Giant made its move, it immediately showcased the power of a Dark Gold Grade BOSS. With just one skill, it wiped out a large area of players. But this did not dampen the players’ enthusiasm—in fact, it only made them more excited.

Previously, the Tide Giant had lingered on the water, hesitating to act, which led many players to attempt swimming toward it. However, they were ambushed by sea monsters halfway, failing to reach the BOSS. At first, players thought this BOSS was just a filler, but once it started moving toward the coast, the situation changed. Now, it was time to take it down!

In the distance, DarkSaber finally saw his opportunity. He quickly gathered his Shadow Legion members and began forming a strategy to take down the BOSS. Although the IFA’s interference had delayed them a bit, they were still in good shape, with their full roster intact and combat strength largely unaffected. However, DarkSaber planned to settle the score with Drake. The latter had been boasting about his upgraded weapon from the progression task. DarkSaber couldn’t wait to see his face when his weapon dropped!

At the same time, DarkSaber was also searching for Blackshade’s location. He had received word of Blackshade farming monsters earlier but had not acted on it. DarkSaber knew that as long as the BOSS remained on the field, Blackshade wouldn’t leave. Plus, Blackshade wasn’t going to be distracted by the smaller monsters, so DarkSaber needed to wait for the right moment to strike. Now that the BOSS was active, Blackshade would surely try to contest the loot. That’s when DarkSaber’s secret weapon would come into play.

DarkSaber’s face remained calm as he directed his teams to attack the BOSS. He also sent scouts to keep an eye on the situation and report any sightings of Blackshade. This time, Blackshade wouldn’t escape!

The Tide Giant’s damage output was immense. Unlike the Bonecrusher, this BOSS not only dealt heavy physical damage but also had devastating skills. With a single Raging Sea Fury, it cleared everything in its path, from players to monsters, proving to be a battlefield-wiping ability. Despite this, the sheer number of players began to wear down the Tide Giant’s health. Seeing the BOSS’s HP drop steadily, the players were filled with renewed determination. They weren’t afraid of getting wiped out; they were afraid they couldn’t deal enough damage. Now that the BOSS was visibly taking damage, they knew they could eventually take it down.

As the players charged, many were killed in one hit, but new players continued to rush in. Tristan, watching the slaughter unfold, couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. Back in his previous life, the game had already become so immersive that players didn’t immediately rush into BOSS fights anymore. Instead, they tried to find ways to avoid combat altogether, knowing that they only had one life.

But now, watching the battle, Tristan was ready to make his move. After leaving the newbie village, players had quickly begun dealing considerable damage to the Tide Giant, taking away over 50,000 HP in a short time. With a total of just over 4 million HP, this wasn’t a trivial loss. If things continued like this, the BOSS would fall. The loot may be random, but at least they would get something.

Tristan, realizing the situation, decided to ensure he would be the one to secure the loot. He had already moved a hundred meters back after using Shadow Leap earlier, staying in Stealth to maintain his distance from the BOSS. This would allow him to deal maximum damage without putting himself at risk.

With a swift motion, he launched a Weak Spot Attack, dealing a massive damage hit of -912,295 to the Tide Giant. The damage numbers popped up as the BOSS’s health bar shrank by nearly a quarter.

The players who were focusing on attacking the BOSS were left in shock.

"This is insane," one of them muttered, eyes wide with disbelief.

DarkSaber, watching from a distance, was equally stunned. How did Blackshade’s damage get this high in such a short time?

Meanwhile, his preparations were already underway. He had a backup plan to deal with Blackshade, especially if the latter tried to steal the BOSS loot. The situation had changed, and DarkSaber needed to act quickly. He could not allow Blackshade to take over the fight.

RagingBlood, observing the situation, hesitated. "What should we do?"

"If Blackshade keeps hitting like this, he’ll steal the loot," DarkSaber muttered. "We need to stop him now before he lands the finishing blow."

DarkSaber made a decision. He had invested heavily in acquiring a special item—a Gold Grade Thunder Chain Scroll—just to deal with Blackshade. He was determined not to back down now.

"Prepare to strike!" DarkSaber ordered.

The Shadow Legion members’ spirits lifted as they readied themselves for action. It was about time they witnessed Blackshade’s fall.

A player nearby quickly activated the in-game recording feature, eager to capture the event for future fame on the forums. This would certainly be a moment to remember.

As Tristan tossed out another Shadow Dagger and followed up with Rain of Corruption, his damage skyrocketed. With fifteen hits from Rain of Corruption and additional damage from Toxic Blood Plague, Tristan’s total damage for this round hit a staggering 1.5 million! This was nearly a third of the Tide Giant’s total HP.

At this point, the BOSS had locked onto Tristan, its rage evident as it charged toward him with a fury.

Tristan anticipated this move and prepared to activate Shadow Stealth. However, just as he was about to, a cold voice interrupted him.

"Blackshade, you’re done for. Thunder Chain!"

DarkSaber had used the Gold Grade Thunder Chain Scroll, and fierce electricity lashed out, ensnaring Tristan’s legs and freezing him in place. The BOSS was closing in fast, and without any escape, Tristan would be helpless.

The Thunder Chain was designed to hold a target in place for 20 seconds, long enough to finish off any opponent.

Tristan quickly assessed the situation. Normally, this would have been a huge problem, especially with the Tide Giant charging toward him. But now, with his Shadow Leap ability, he wasn’t concerned. He waved his hand dismissively at DarkSaber and activated Shadow Leap, disappearing instantly.

DarkSaber stood frozen in shock. That’s it? The Gold Grade scroll was countered just like that?

He didn’t have time to process it. As soon as he realized the danger, it was too late. Tristan, now safely out of range, appeared behind DarkSaber in an instant.

"Who gave you the courage to oppose me?" Tristan’s voice was cold, his presence chilling.

Before DarkSaber could react, Tristan’s Breaking Stealth Strike landed, dealing an unthinkable 12,800 damage. DarkSaber’s health bar evaporated instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, dead before he could even make a move.

Tristan followed up with a quick Shadow Dagger, sending several unsuspecting Shadow Legion vice-leaders straight to their respawn points as well.

The battle had shifted dramatically, and Tristan’s dominance was now undeniable.
