Chapter 40 -40: Opt for a Sneak Attack, Never Barge In!_1
The Gothic architecture of the Ashen, like grotesque dancers twisting their bodies.
In the fading crimson light, after presenting its final dance, it froze with the fall of the blood-light.
Night arose.
The Ash Moon, already impatient in the firmament, eagerly cast its magically cold radiance over the land.
It pierced to the bone, recklessly dispelling the last vestige of warmth left by the Day of Ash.
Day and night of ash almost switched in an instant.
With the cold’s arrival, the entire Ramore Tower City-State fell into a deathly silence.
Under the twisted trees, Tuck merged with the shadows.
Spotty moonlight from the Ash Moon filtered down.
Tuck gradually completed the attachment of his Shadow Ring Staff’s attribute “Shadow Robe” and the recently acquired Second Rank Wizard Robe.
The Second Rank Robe’s effects were indeed quite remarkable.
Be it defense, concealment, or the natural absorption of Origin Energy, it was all quite excellent.
“Notice anything?” Tuck asked slowly, feeling that the time was about right.
Two Undead Dragonflies, whose scent of death was almost imperceptible, landed in the thicket.
Armanti was hiding close by.
“The entire house is rigged with Origin Energy Barriers, and the defenses aren’t weak,” she reported.
“There’s also an alchemy alarm device attached.”
“We can’t sneak in undetected.”
“Plus, with the signs of a fire in the fireplace and the messy food on the dining table, there’s someone there, but I can’t find them; perhaps it’s an illusion at the window.”
The small single-family bunker villa across the street was the final resting place of “Taniru,” whom Armanti originally tracked.
Tuck wanted to use Precision Vision to scrutinize it.
But there was barrier interference there, and Tuck couldn’t see much.
Getting closer might offer a clearer view.
But Tuck could assure that if he dared to approach,
he would definitely be greeted with some powerful spell to the face.
Followers of the Evil God wouldn’t waste time talking about martial morality with him.
Using the Undead Dragonflies to get close, on the other hand, allowed them to gather considerable information without a sound.
After this thorough observation,
even Armanti started to feel that something was off.
After all, even a normal wizard wouldn’t have such extensive preparations.
Let alone that Taniru was just a “Night Priest.”
Unless… there was some unspeakable secret inside.
“The big fish is inside; it’s all about how we effectively capture it now,” Tuck whispered.
“Send a few ghosts down to check if there are any underground passages,” he instructed.
With such a valuable assistant as Armanti, it would be foolish not to make use of her skills.
And as a student of the High Tower, Armanti had countless tricks up her sleeve.
Moreover, Tuck wasn’t without his own resources.
All these pre-battle preparations were part of Armanti’s learning experience.
A moment later, the ghosts returned.
“There are no underground passages,” Armanti replied.
“Good, now use your ‘Undead Territory’ to envelop the entire house. It will not only prevent people inside from escaping but also cover up the sounds of battle,” Tuck instructed.
“How do you know I have Undead Territory?” Armanti exclaimed, astonished.
Undead Territory was her proudest Necromancer ability.
It was precisely because of it that Professor Aubrey had taken notice of her.
Besides, Professor Aubrey had told her,
this ability was important and should never be revealed lightly.
Yet Tuck spoke of it outright.
“Just tell me if you have it or not!” Tuck said softly.
“Yes!” Armanti nodded solemnly.
“Then set it up, but be very careful not to alert anyone inside,” he continued.
As a dark cloud drifted overhead, Tuck spoke in a low voice.
Armanti, noticing the change in light, quickly aligned with the cloud to begin setting up the Undead Territory.
Accompanied by the cloud’s gloom,
the Undead Territory slowly closed in until the entire house was completely shrouded within.
It was like a giant net, trapping its prey.
Only then did Tuck emerge from the shadow of the large tree.
“Keep an eye on the surroundings. If you encounter danger, flee on your own, don’t worry about me,” he said.
After speaking, like a shadowy specter, Tuck drifted towards the house.
“You’re heading into greater danger, yet you’re the one telling me to be careful?”
Armanti nodded and suddenly realized that there might be members of the Dark Sun Church lurking around outside.
Following Tuck, she had learned too many things.
If she were to venture out alone, even shrouded in Undead Grey Fog, she would still attract attention.
But with Tuck,
Their impassive demeanor and the subtle but unmistakable deterrent force, other Transcendents dare not look twice.
Without a doubt.
Even in Underground Street, Tuck’s behavior was absolutely ruthless.
Like a sponge, Armanti was rapidly learning from Tuck.
To become as ruthless as possible, as quickly as possible.
Only then could one live longer and become stronger in the dangerous Transcendent World.
The Undead Territory was the net that prevented the fish from escaping.
It was also the cover that Tuck used to get closer.
With Armanti’s help, Tuck quickly approached and smoothly passed through the Undead Territory.
Touching the walls, Tuck climbed up the side of the building like a gecko.
If there was a chance for a stealth attack, Tuck would never barge in directly.
The Shadow State endowed Tuck with an incredible ability to traverse terrain.
Spiritual Perception!
As Tuck climbed, he quickly felt the walls with Spiritual Perception.
“This is just a very solid wall, moisture-proof and insulating!”
Information emerged.
As Tuck delved deeper.
“Ha sss… La sss…”
“Ha sss… La sss…”
The low murmuring sounds rose faintly.

The world in front of Tuck quickly twisted and spun.
Then, the low murmurs intensified by Tuck’s ear, as if trying to drag him into them.
“Bang—”
The traces at the vein level snapped abruptly.
Tuck broke free from the further contamination of the mysterious force.
Even so, Tuck’s temples throbbed, as if pricked with needles.
Spiritual Perception was useful, indeed.
But sometimes, it could also attract trouble.
Fortunately, with SSS Level Precision as his fallback, Tuck had the privilege to make mistakes.
With a pinch of the spell in his right hand, the Shadow Ring Staff on his right arm responded in kind.
A precise toss.
A vine as thick as an arm, covered with blood-colored thorns, appeared above the lower window on the right.
With a buzz,
the Blood Sacrifice Vine lashed heavily against the Origin Energy Barrier that had already merged with the window glass.
After releasing a Bloodthorn Vine, Tuck quickly climbed up the wall eaves and went to another side of the wall.
He then cast another Bloodthorn Vine.
Enhanced by the Rune, Shadow Ring Staff, and the Shadow State,
Tuck brought his agility into full play, his forte being appearing and disappearing like a phantom.
One by one.
Before long, more than a dozen vines were lashing like drumsticks on the exterior of the house, crazily striking every single glass pane.
It was as if a gigantic vine monster had surrounded the entire structure.
But soon, countermeasures from within the house appeared.
“Wither!”
Tuck did not feel the fluctuation of Origin Energy or magic.
But through the magic’s vein track, he sensed withering, as the Bloodthorn Vine he had thrown towards the main door direction was quickly withering away.
And the speed of withering was extremely fast.
In just two or three breaths, a Bloodthorn Vine died.
Then the second, the third…
The rapid death of the Bloodthorn Vines was unimportant.
Because they had fulfilled their mission, which was to confirm the enemy’s location.
“Near the main door.”
“Since you’re in front, then I’ll enter from the back.”
As this thought crossed his mind, Tuck had already reached the attic window at the rear of the building.
“Sculpting Light Spear!”
Tuck suddenly clenched his hand in the void.
With a hum,
the power of Light erupted within the palm of Tuck’s hand.
In that instant of radiance, Tuck forcefully struck the Origin Energy Barrier.
The supreme control over the Two-star Wizardry “Sculpting Light Spear” made its effects evident at that moment.
A circular Sculpting Light Spear was thrust by Tuck into the energy barrier.
As the Sculpting Light Spear expanded, Tuck tore open a large hole in the energy barrier.
Tuck drifted in silently, like a ghost.
“Without the defense of the Origin Energy Barrier, I’d like to see how you struggle.”
After entering the building, Tuck twisted his neck slightly, revealing a vicious and bloodthirsty smile.
