Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"As the four identical daggers began to merge, an evolutionary effect was produced."

"Complete!"

The power of the Dharma Realm surged from the void like a tide, piercing through the four daggers on the ground.

In an instant.

They all disappeared.

A new, gray dagger appeared before Shen Ye's eyes.

"Shadow Camouflage Dagger."

"Special class item, blue (Outstanding) quality."

"How to use it: Lick it."

"Death Shell: When you pretend to be dead, you can choose your own death disguise."

"Constant Toxin: The toxin on the blade edge does not expire, and you only need to lick it casually to fake death."

Shen Ye gazed at the dagger, lost in contemplation.

He carefully recalled—

He was able to flee amidst battle.

Although this could save his life, there was a downside.

That was leaving the scene without knowing what would happen next.

If he could pretend to be dead and stay in place—

"Let's go!"

He pocketed the dagger and quickened his pace, heading back to the Human Race's camp.

He found the tent of the Shadow Brotherhood.

He went in.

There sat a man of plain appearance, studying a map with several assassins.

"Saint Peiqi!"

Upon seeing Shen Ye enter, they hastily stood up, extending their hands in the "love you" sign.

Differently, some placed it beside their face, meaning "long time no see."

Some held the gesture to their chest, signifying "You've always been on my mind."

On the stomach, it indicated "I'd really like to get to know you better."

Shen Ye responded with the same Brotherhood sign and said,

"Everyone, I need more tactical camouflage daggers now, do you have any in stock here?"

The leader responded, "Actually, most of the tactical camouflage daggers are at the front lines, but I will find all that you need."

He pulled out a wooden box from under a table behind him and laid out several brand-new daggers before Shen Ye.

A total of nine.

Not enough... at least twelve more were needed to merge.

"Do you have any on you?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes!"

Several people drew their daggers and placed them in front of Shen Ye.

Exactly twelve. Find adventures on empire

Now it was complete.

"Lord Peiqi, are you planning to organize a team of assassins to go to Eternal Night City and play dead?" the man asked excitedly.

"Count me in, Lord Peiqi."

"Yes, I'm also an expert at playing dead, my lord."

The people spoke with an enthusiastic tone.

"Are you that confident?" Shen Ye couldn't help asking.

"My lord, look—"

The men brought out a banner from behind the tent, on which was written:

"Warmly celebrate the grand conclusion of the 15th Northern Front Line Pretend Dead Bidding Contest."

"Sponsored by: Shadow Brotherhood."

Shen Ye took a sharp breath.

—This had become an actual competition?

So "pretending to be dead" was actually a core skill in the assassin's trade?

Impressive.

It seemed he had to reevaluate this skill.

"Brothers, I appreciate your goodwill. When the time comes, I will definitely call on you all to serve our country!"

Shen Ye said.

Several assassins chorused, "We will heed your summons at any time, Paige!"

Shen Ye nodded, pocketed the dagger, and bid farewell to everyone with reluctance. He then left the Human Territory.

He returned to the forest.

He divided the twelve daggers into three groups, each with four.

All laid out on the ground.

He activated the Purple Entry, "Vampire Kid."

The power of the Dharma Realm swept over all the daggers, and all twelve daggers fused into three Shadow Camouflage Daggers.

He placed the previous dagger on top.

Now, there were four identical Blue quality daggers.

The moment to witness the miracle had arrived—

"Fusion."

Shen Ye spoke.

The Entry power of the "Vampire Kid" burst forth again, drawing upon the Dharma Realm, and imbuing the four daggers with its laws.

In an instant.

The four daggers disappeared.

A dimly grey dagger, unremarkable in appearance, lay quietly on the ground.

Fusion was complete!

A faint light emerged into small text beside the grey dagger:

"Shadow Shining Stab."

"Special category treasure, Purple (One in Ten Thousand) level."

"Usage method: Lick it."

"Death Disguise: When you feign death, you can choose your personalized 'Death Skin' and 'Style'."

"Anesthesia Master: The toxin on the blade edge will never expire, just lick it lightly, and you'll pass out pretending to be dead while retaining your consciousness, ready to awaken at any time."

"Reaper's Reward: When you feign death, any damage will only affect your personalized Death Skin. Only after the Death Skin is shattered will you begin to take damage."

"— Try it and die."

Shen Ye read quickly, his heart brimming with confusion.

What exactly are the so-called "Death Skin" and "Style"?

Try it!

He picked up the dagger, licked it, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Thud.

The moment he hit the ground, he transformed into a knight in ragged armor with seven or eight arrows in his back, blood flowing copiously.

A faint light emerged into small text:

"Current Death Skin: The Dead Battle Knight."

"Current Style: Died from arrows in the back."

Interesting...

Can I choose the Death Skin?

With Shen Ye's thought, he instantly transformed into a skinny mage!

Still in the 'arrows in the back' style!

— Change the style!

The mage lay on the ground, half his body sliced open by a blade, dead beyond doubt.

Shen Ye canceled the skin and style, got up from the ground, and fell into thought.

Could the skin be changed to other races?

He grabbed the dagger and licked it again.

Rattle—

Skeleton bones scattered across the ground, and the Soulfire in the eye sockets of the cracked skull quickly extinguished.

Becoming an Undead was also possible!

So powerful!

This dagger was not strong in the traditional sense.

But when it came to feigning death, it had already reached the level of a master!
