Chapter 1283 Another Encounter with the Pandemonium Troupe

...

"Well, this was quite surprising," Shin stood leisurely as he watched the ongoing battle in the distance.

He wanted to test Samael's abilities as well as his younger sister, Huahua, so he asked them if they wanted to fight these scouts that had been on their tail since they had left the town earlier.

Samael was quite eager to test his new skills along with his newly acquired equipment set. He was not satisfied with his performance during the earlier missions that he had gotten from the Church of the Sun and Moon. He might have fought during those missions, but he either did not perform well or failed to showcase his real capabilities, so he was still looking for an opportunity where he could test his current strength.

This suggestion from Shin came just at the right time. He also requested Shin not to get involved unless they were in real danger. He wanted to see his current limit while also trying to impress Shin with his skills.

He was quite an expert himself. Even though he was still far from reaching the level of Godlike Players like Shin and the rest, he still believed that he could become a High Ranker. Being a Titled Ranker was also not far from his reach in his opinion, so he was pretty confident in himself.

As for the little shaman, Huahua. Samael was also quite confident about his younger sister. She might not like fighting, but that did not mean that she could not defend herself.

If they were talking about skills and techniques alone, then Samael was confident to say that this little shaman was an expert himself. It was just she did not like hurting other people or getting hurt herself, so it was a little troublesome.

But that did not mean that she was an easy picking either. She was a very troublesome opponent to deal with.

Samael was quite an expert when it came to fighting. Shin could easily tell that this paladin was not a martial artist, a combat mentalist, or a swordsman in the real world after seeing his performance.

But Shin could see that Samael was a real gamer. An expert gamer at that.

If Shin used the terms that Arthur loved to use before, then he could label Samael as a professional gamer. A real expert in the gaming world. Someone who played the game as a form of living or a player who loved playing the game as his passion.

Watching Samael fight, Shin could see the 'textbook' style of fighting that he used to see when reading about games when he first started.

He could see that Samael had burned these moves in his mind and engraved everything in his body, making it second nature to him. This fighting style had become a habit of his but in a good way.

Shin could see a very solid foundation in Samael's movements, which also became a type of martial arts in a sense.

Samael utilized all the advantages that he had such as the tools of his class, the superiority of his equipment set, and his great mastery over a series of combat and movement techniques along with the unique in-game skills in his arsenal.

If Shin were describing Samael in simple terms, then he would call this guy a real gamer. A gamer who did not have any background in any kind of discipline in the real world.

Thinking about it, Shin could also see that Samael was the same as Diablo. However, there were also some differences between them. He could also say that Samael was a notch lower than Diablo in every aspect.

Or should he see that he was a weaker version of Diablo with a different class?

Samael was a very good fighter too. He was able to hold himself against multiple opponents with the same level of skills and abilities without being at any kind of disadvantage.

Shin also suspected this had something to do with the class matchup. Samael was a paladin, and an elite one at that, whereas his opponents were either thieves or assassins, who were being countered by his class.

His moderately high defense and decent offensive attacks somewhat countered these scouts. His mobility was also quite good given his high level of mastery over his movement techniques, which covered disadvantages in this area.

He also had a lot of blessings that boosted his stats greatly along with some healing spells that restored his health from time to time, throwing his opponents in a little despair.

Looking at these overall, Shin found Samael was a real example of a player who truly understood the game. He knew where his advantages lay and knew how to cover his disadvantages properly.

On the other hand, Huahua was a very interesting player too. From what he had heard, she did not like to fight other players since did not like any sort of violence against people.

Due to this, the set of skills that she had learned focused on buffs that could help her allies and debuff that weakened her enemies. She did not have any sort of offensive spells under her arsenal, but she possessed plenty of summoning spells in exchange.

She did not have to fight the other party herself and leave everything to her summons.

The spirits, wraiths, and ghosts that she summoned were not that powerful, but their overwhelming numbers were more than enough to protect her against most of her enemies.

The number of her summons was far from being on the same level as other summoners of the game. They were weaker than Spirit Summoners of the humans, had a lesser number when compared to the undead monsters of the Necromancer Class, or were not as intelligent as the pets of the Tamer Class.

But if she added the multiple totems that she could summon, which buffed her allies with different strengthening and supporting effects, along with the debuffs that weakened her opposition, this overwhelming number of her summoned creatures was more than enough to put up a good fight.

But this was still far from being enough to protect herself against elite members of top guilds of the game.

This was also what Samael was worried about before, so he spent quite a lot of fortune when buying a certain skill – the Spirit Beast Summoning Skill meant for Shamans.

It was a powerful skill that summoned a certain creature that grew stronger along with its owner. It was a class-specific skill, which also had a unique evolution feature.

Even though evolving the Spirit Beast consumed quite a lot of resources and burned a huge hole in their pockets, Samael still felt that it was worth it so long as his sister was safe.

The form of the Spirit Beast that his sister had chosen was a huge wolf since she felt that it looked the same as the pet dog that they used to have in real life. She even named it 'Silly' since that Spirit Wolf looked like a silly husky when it was not in a combat form.

This was not all as Samael also spent another fortune on the other skill that compliments the 'Spirit Beast Skill', the 'Spiritual Armor'.

It was another class-specific skill of the Shaman class that gave them the ability to convert certain items and equipment into spiritual form, making it an equipable item that a Spiritual Beast could wear.

This boosted the battle prowess of her spiritual wolf multiple folds.

Watching the giant spirit wolf slaughter her enemies while it was being buffed by the totems that Huahua had summoned, Shin felt that Samael possessed a great understanding of each class within the game.

The pair of siblings were not working together, but they covered each other's back without communicating with each other.

While watching, Shin was also making sure that no one would be able to escape alive from here. He already summoned Blackie, Vladimir, and Grimrace around to clear the surroundings and executed anyone who would try to run away.

Due to the intense pressure that Shin was emitting, the scouts did not try to attack him or escape in his direction. Instead, they ran toward the other three directions, not knowing that the worst possible death was waiting for them.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Shin walked over to the two and commented. "Not bad."

Samael turned to Shin and shook his head. "It is not a big deal. If it is 'God Expert' dealing with them, then none will be able to escape."

Shin chuckled. "Don't worry, none of them escape either."

After that, he turned to Huahua and asked. "Are you sure you don't want to fight anyone and continue this way? You may be fighting right now since you are facing weaker opponents, but it will not be the same if you happen to encounter real experts at the apex of the game."

"You don't look like a weak opponent when you fight since I saw you keeping a close eye on the whole battlefield despite your unwillingness to 'hurt' anyone."

Shin knew that this little shaman's true age was just 2 years younger than him despite her innocent appearance, so he did not mind being frank with her. He could also feel that she had a stubborn and strong personality despite how she looked.

He guessed that her reason for not wanting to fight personally was due to a little trauma. He might not be an expert in that area, but he could tell that this was something that could be cured easily given how she resolutely scanned the entire place during the battle.

Hearing those words, Huahua bit the lower lip while lowering her head. It was clear that she was not ready to discuss this matter with him and wanted to avoid the topic.

She felt secure and comfortable with Shin, but that did not mean that she would discuss her private matters with a person that she recently met. Even though she was quite young, she had seen and experienced quite a lot in the real world along with her brother, so it was quite hard to earn his full trust. historical

Samael understood her thoughts so he could only give Shin an apologetic smile. He knew that Shin only wanted to help her overcome her shortcomings, but he also knew how his younger sister felt, so they could only avoid this topic.

Shin also nodded his head when he saw that. He was about to tell them to continue their journey when he suddenly sensed a pair of overwhelming presence coming from a certain direction.

He also sensed that the three Elemental Spirit Companions that he had summoned were forcefully unsummed and forcibly returned to his side.

Turning his gaze toward the direction where the opposing side was coming from, he could not help but frown deeply. "What a powerful presence and a large range for Spirit Awe Skill."

Hearing Shin's mumblings, Samael quickly looked up before turning his head toward the direction where the latter was looking.

That was when he saw a pair of players walking toward them from the deep forest. Those two were wearing large cloaks that covered their entire bodies, but he could still see the pair of horns sticking out from their foreheads.

"Demonic Players?" said Samael in shock. He subconsciously yelled out loud to voice out his thoughts before swiftly standing in front of his younger sister.

As an elite member of the Church of the Sun and Moon, he was very familiar with these kinds of players. Demonic Players and Corrupted Players were some of the opponents that he often encountered during special missions from the church.

From his experience, these players with such power were very troublesome to deal with, especially when the Demonic Players with a pair of horns.

Adding the overwhelming pressure that those two were released, Samael could tell that they belonged to the most elite group within the Demonic Churches.

They might still be quite inferior to Shin when it came to their might. But together, he could sense that they could still pose enough threat to this God Expert on his side.

Shin slightly raised his brows before asking. "From the Pandemonium Troupe?"

Hearing his words, the two suddenly stopped, slightly taken aback by his words. They did not expect that the expert that Paimon had told them to be careful of was able to pinpoint their identities within an instant.

On the other hand, Shin did not have to wait for their answer since their actions alone were more than enough to confirm his suspicion.

There were very few people who could give him this level of threat. Aside from the most elite members of the Pandemonium Descendants, the Pandemonium Trupe, he could not think of any believer of the Demonic Church who possessed such strength.

Of course, there were still those who became True Demons like Haowin. But he doubted that there were a lot of them in the Demonic Church, so he could only think of the second-best choice.

Realizing that these two were not going to be easy opponents, Shin stepped forward and warned Samael. "Don't get involved and focus on protecting yourself and your sister. These guys are not someone you can face with your current level."

When he took a step forward and started walking toward the opposing side, the two members of the Pandemonium Troupe immediately sensed a powerful pressure coming from his body. It spread in every direction and filled the entire place within a matter of seconds.

It was at this moment that this pair realized that they were up against someone in the same league as the leaders of the troupe and quickly informed their Paimon.

"Spotted a suspected 'Target'. Requesting assistance as soon as possible!"
