SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Let there be light

[Ding! Player Holy Moly has died.]

[Ding! Dark faction +1 point.]

"The event just started? Someone died already? How could this be possible?" A player shouted. When everybody turned back to look, a black shadow disappeared from the scene of the crime. Before they could think about this, another notification popped up.

[Ding! Player Healz4U has died.]

[Ding! Dark faction +1 point.]

The entire guild was left completely speechless. The well in front of them looked as deserted as always. No one had even seen the enemy yet. How could their side players be dying before the battle even began?

Screams erupted from the rear ranks as panic spread. The tightly packed formation of priests began to fray. Some turned to look for the attacker—others instinctively cast healing spells into the air, confused and terrified.

Aurora’s voice rang out, urgent but steady. "Stay calm! Formation, stay in formation! Paladins, spread out and form a screen!"

"Where the hell is he?!" Bertram growled, spinning with his blade drawn.

"Wait—there! I saw something!" Moonbeam shrieked, pointing toward a tree. But by the time others looked, there was only a flicker of darkness melting into nothingness.

[Ding! Player TenderGrace has died.]

[Ding! Player AngelTouch has died.]

[Ding! Dark faction +2 points.]

Panic started spreading through the rearline. The healers, who were meant to be safely nestled behind the paladin wall, were dropping like flies.

Aurora’s brows furrowed. "This isn’t possible. There’s no spell range that long. No assassin could move this fast..."

Then, the siege war leaderboard popped up.

A deathly silence gripped the players. "BLOOD GOD!" someone finally screamed, pointing at the figure standing behind one of the healers and slicing the guy’s throat. A blood red glow could be seen on his palm, and before long, the glow, along with Blood God, disappeared from the scene, the healer’s lifeless body falling to the ground.

[Ding! Player GloriousLight has died.]

Bertram growled, eyes scanning the battlefield. "That bastard is already inside our lines. He’s picking off the weak one by one!"
