Chapter 52 Overpowered Skill Of Yohan

The players immediately rejoiced, their earlier anxiety replaced with confidence as they watched their leader, Yohan prepare to use his hidden skill.

"Boss is finally going to use the skill he got from his class at level 5!" one player exclaimed, barely able to contain his excitement. "I always wondered what it was, but he never told us. This is going to be an easy win!"

Arthur frowned, his senses on high alert as he observed Yohan muttering something under his breath.

He couldn't make out the words, but the way Yohan's lips moved and his body tensed, sent a chill down Arthur's spine.

Yohan's voice was low, nearly inaudible. "Camouflage. Silent Step."

Arthur's eyes widened in disbelief as Yohan's body shimmered and then disappeared entirely. One moment, he was standing there smirking confidently, and the next, he was gone.

"What the... Where did he go? Did he teleport away? What the hell is this?" Arthur muttered under his breath, his gaze darting around the area.

"Hank leave them, and look for their leader," Arthur commanded immediately. 'Hopefully, Hank might be able to detect him if he is still near,'

Hank immediately flew and circled above, his eyes scanning the surrounding area, but even the hawk's talent seemed unable to detect Yohan's whereabouts. Arthur clenched his dagger tighter, his heart pounding.

'Stay calm. Don't panic. He's still here... somewhere. His so-called skill wouldn't just be an escape skill, it must be offensive.'

The forest grew unnervingly quiet, Arthur's mind raced as he watched his surroundings vigilantly, trying to anticipate the attack.

'Where is he? Could he be above?' Arthur thought, glancing up into the trees, but there was nothing.

"Wher—arghhh!"

A moment later, a sharp pain shot through his back.

"Argh, damn rat!" Arthur hissed as he felt the sharp sting of another knife attack on his side. He stumbled slightly but quickly regained his footing, his eyes scanning the area.

Yohan's voice came from the shadows, smug and mocking. "Rat, am I? Funny coming from the guy squealing in pain."

"Show yourself, you coward!" Arthur shouted, spinning to where he thought the voice was coming from. His grip on the dagger tightened, his knuckles whitening with the force.

"Why would I do that?" Yohan said, his voice echoing from all around. "This is so much more entertaining."

Suddenly, Yohan appeared a few feet in front of him, grinning like a Cheshire cat. His dagger twirled lazily in his hand as if mocking Arthur's efforts. Find exclusive stories on empire

Arthur's blood boiled at the sight. "Are you making fun of me, you damn rat?!"

Yohan's grin widened. "Oh, absolutely."

Arthur dashed toward him, his dagger poised to strike. But before he could close the distance—

Yohan vanished again.

"Hehe," came the giggling from somewhere behind Arthur. "You missed me, little boy!"

Arthur growled in frustration, his eyes darting to every possible direction Yohan could have gone. His heartbeat thudded in his ears, a mix of adrenaline and rage coursing through him.

"Stay in one place, you coward!" Arthur shouted, his voice echoing through the forest. "Face me properly!"

'He keeps showing up every five seconds from what I estimated so far. Is that a coincidence or is it a skill issue?' He thought as a frown appeared on his face.

Arthur waited calmly in his spot as he waited for Yohan to attack again.

Yohan's voice came again, this time from Arthur's left. "Face you properly? Why? You're doing such a great job entertaining me as it is."
