Thinking of this, William Smith lowered the shield he had slightly raised, silently waiting for the thief to appear. To pass through this corridor, the group of wild boars ahead had to be dealt with. Currently, the highest level on the ""Skyrealm"" ranking is only level 7. Even a level 7 thief would find it impossible to sneak past here. While stealth can reduce the alert range of monsters of the same level to within 2 yards, the wild boar herd ahead had clearly blocked the entrance completely.

To get through, these four Fallen Wild Boars must be taken out.

A faint, almost imperceptible figure silently appeared 8 yards in front of the Fallen Wild Boar herd. From William Smith's vantage point, he could clearly see the side profile of the newcomer—a thief wrapped head to toe in a black bodysuit, holding a dagger in a reverse grip. The mountain wind blew, making it seem as if she could drift away at any moment—ethereal, cold, and mysterious.

With her face covered by a black cloth and her figure accentuated by the tight black suit, the thief's graceful curves were on full display. A slender waist that could be held in one hand, a perky and full rear, a moderate height, and golden-ratio curves—she perfectly matched the image of a human female thief from the ""Skyrealm"" promotional trailer.

Of course, there was one difference: the pair of breasts on the chest of the black-clad female thief were so prominent that William Smith's eyes went blurry for a moment. Even in William Smith's forty years of memories from his previous life, he had never encountered such full, high, and seemingly ready-to-burst breasts.

This... truly is a remarkable achievement!

And it was precisely this pair of blood-stirring breasts that gave the female thief an extra layer of allure—a deadly allure!

Just as William Smith's thoughts were running wild, the female thief casually took a step forward.

Just one step—not too big, not too small! The Fallen Wild Boar herd in the distance immediately noticed the intruder in their territory, howling loudly and charging at the black-clad female thief with their stout hooves.

8 yards, 7 yards, 6 yards, 5 yards...

When the Fallen Wild Boar herd was just 5 yards away from the black-clad female thief, she moved. Her graceful body suddenly leaned forward at an incredible angle, almost forming a 30-degree angle with the ground, and then she shot forward. The dagger in her hand, glowing with a faint green light, struck the leading wild boar, leaving a blurred afterimage.

Then, her figure swayed left and right. Using her left foot as a pivot, she spun her body at the same 30-degree forward angle in a strange motion, dodging the bite of the wild boar behind her. Her speed increased again as she swept past the second wild boar, her left-hand dagger slashing across its rump, causing the Fallen Wild Boar's body to immediately glow with a greenish light...

The mountain wind blew, and William Smith's wide eyes involuntarily blinked. When he looked again, the black-clad female thief was already standing behind the group of Fallen Wild Boars. William Smith saw all four wild boars glowing green, their health dropping chunk by chunk, soon left with only half.

This is... A thunderous name flashed through William Smith's memory...

Max Carter! Scarlett Carter!

Names like thunderclaps exploded in his mind. William Smith's body rushed forward involuntarily, blocking in front of the black-clad female thief, facing the dying wild boars head-on. He raised his shield across his chest, an invisible wave of force surging across its surface.

""Shield Bash Counter!"" A string of -30s popped up above the four Fallen Wild Boars...

The noonday sun shone straight down, reflecting a dark gleam off the black shield. The scene froze at this moment: the sexy, cold black-clad female thief, the shield-bearing warrior, and the charging Fallen Wild Boar herd...

The scene seemed to freeze in this magical moment, heralding some unpredictable and wondrous future.

Chapter Twelve: King of Assassins

Max Carter, Scarlett Carter; Jack Carter, Victor Carter; Miles Carter, Shadowless.

This phrase was the legend of three thieves in the previous life of ""Skyrealm""—the three top experts who completed the fourth class advancement quest.

Jake Carter, the bloodthirsty thief who could take on thousands—Never Let You Go, the number one thief of the Ironblood Wolf Riders under the Eastern Guild Alliance, who created the armor-breaking disassembly tactic and established an unshakable position at the top of the thief class; the shadowy thief who could kill from a thousand miles away without leaving a trace—Never Surrender, the leader of the seven generals under the Western Guild Alliance's Lone Walker, who believed in bleeding attacks and one-hit kills, and made great contributions to Lone Walker's dominance in the West.

But compared to the woman known as Max Carter, who drenched the city in blood, the legendary feats of these two seemed insignificant.

Her face was always hidden behind a black veil, an assassin who walked alone in the darkness. Even twenty years later, before William Smith was reborn, no one knew the in-game name of this mysterious female thief. She was like a venomous fang lurking forever in the shadows, only revealing her deadly double blades when her prey let down their guard. (Note: In ""Skyrealm,"" names can be hidden; unless you are friends or in a party, you cannot know them.)
