[You have successfully assassinated a Core Member of the Demonic Dragon Group! Obtained: 250ASP!]

In each time he pulled the trigger, system notifications would echo out inside his mind, and the number of quest objectives that he had to deal with, lessened as a result.

The campsite remained oblivious that all of their Core Members were getting killed. The air of celebration lingered in the air along with the boisterous shouts of the men whose expressions looked reddened.

In less than a minute, Dan dispatched the poor nine Core Members that died in regrets, not knowing who killed them and why they died. Dan earned 2250 ASP and combined with his previous ASP, Dan had enough to purchase a rocket-propelled grenade.

Since this kind of firearm that possessed an unlimited ammunition feature, Dan bought ten explosive warheads and loaded one of it in the muzzle. Using the optical sight, Dan targeted the center of the celebration and as soon as he pulled the trigger, he quickly activated Stealth.

Inside the Formation, the disciples who looked pale and exhausted due to malnutrition and lack of fluids stared at the banquet with shining lights inside their eyes. They felt bitter about their current situation, but what could they do? Apart from awaiting their Senior Brother Kwydin's breakthrough, they could only stare and drool.

Suddenly.

A deafening explosion occurred along with the appearance of a fiery mushroom cloud. The explosion shook everything and even the disciples who were protected by the formation could feel the earth trembling on their feet. Staring at the distance, aside from Senior Brother Kwydin. All disciples had their mouths opened in shock.

Inside the campsite, chaos ensued. Numerous body parts along with pieces of brain matter and scorched bodies decorated the area. Captain Demonic Dragon stared at this scene with anger as he activated his Spirit and scoured the area around them,

"Shit, who dares to attack us?! Could it be that these bastards had managed to inform the Paradyne Academy and reinforcements are already here? That's impossible! How could they escape my perception?!" Clicking his tongue, he scanned the area as the previous jubilant atmosphere became a scene of horror and gore.

Captain Demonic Dragon raised his alert levels into the peak and ordered, "Those who can still walk, bring your brothers to the Eastern Side of the Campsite! Our attackers are coming from the West, protect them for as long as you can!" His fiery shout and swift decision-making capabilities raised the morale of his subordinates as they moved and dragged their injured comrades away.

Alone at the center of the scorched earth surrounded by blazing tents. Captain Demonic Dragon warily glanced at the west, his cultivation base silently rotated in preparation for an attack.

"Hey, what the hell is that?"

"What in the actual heavens?"

Mumbles echoed behind Captain Demonic Dragon and when he turned around, he found a streaking light that looked like a meteor approaching his subordinates. His instincts instantly told him that the light was dangerous as he warned,

"Fools! Get down!"

It was too late. The dumbfounded bandits could only stare as the streak of light collided with the ground, followed by an explosion which literally tore their bodies into pieces. Infused with his Spiritual Qi, Dan boosted the area of explosion which completely annihilated them.

At the same time that the battered the area, Captain Demonic Dragon dashed towards the source of the meteor, only to find nothing even with his superior perception.

"just what in the actual hell is going on?! They just attacked us and I can't find them anymore?" He tightly clenched his fists, veins bulged on his temples as he returned at the center of the campsite and observed everything.

All he could see and hear was the anguish cries of his subordinates as their bodies melted and formed a pool on the ground.

"Where in the hell are Master Blader and the others? They should've awakened when the first explosion erupted..." Captain Demonic Dragon sped towards a tent that wasn't affected by the explosions. But when he arrived there, he realized that the tent had a hole the size of a human's fist as an eerie premonition filled his mind.

"Could it be that..." His expression paled and when he flipped the entrance of the tent, he saw a middle-aged man with a bloody hole in his forehead. The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open in shock and disbelief as if he couldn't believe that he died just like that.

"Bastards! Stop hiding and show yourselves to me!" Terrifying energy fluctuations surrounded his body as a scarlet-black energy enveloped his figure. His eyes turned crimson and his figure looked a head taller than before.

At this moment, he looked like an angered Asura that would trample everything on his path.

[Result: Chance of defeating the enemy without external help is about forty percent!]

[System Evaluation: The bigger the risk, the higher the rewards! Don't be afraid, young man!]

"Don't be afraid my ass! As long as my chance of winning isn't at least sixty percent, I won't go there and risk my life! I don't know if I will still transmigrate if I die after all..."

He inwardly cursed and stared at the campsite where Captain Demonic Dragon stood tall, observing everything around him. With the bastard's enhanced perception, Dan knew that if he moved at least once without Stealth, the former would definitely discover him.

"It seems like this guy is using some kind of a Secret Art, and according to the novels that I have read these past decades. A secret art will never last long and once it expires, a period of weakness will ensue." Dan lifted a wicked smile on his lips, Assassins never fought their enemy head-on, and since he was an aspiring one, why would he engage his enemy in close combat?

"Hmmph, I don't care if this seems dirty, I've been a miserable loner in my past life, now that I have a sweet wife and a daughter with me, I should care for my life!"

"That's right!"

"Only when you are alive can you taste the riches that you have!"

Dan declared in his heart and calmed his heart down,

"System, calculate the remaining duration of his Secret Art."

[System Function Initiating; 50%]

[System Calculations, Completed!]

[Results: The Demonic Asura transformation has a duration of fifteen minutes. Remaining Duration: 12:21]

Dan dismissed the system notifications but made the timer float in his peripheral vision. Taking his Barret M82, he infused at least half of his remaining Qi. Powering his next attack.

Darting his gaze at his Qi Graphical Bar, Dan wryly smiled when he saw that he only have thirteen percent Spiritual Qi left in his Dantian. If he failed, he could only run.

Time passed by and when the Secret Art's period of weakness came, Dan scoped in but before he could pull the trigger, Dan's body shivered as Captain Demonic Dragon's voice suddenly echoed behind him.

"Brat, so it's you who caused this?!"
