Chapter 239 The Doll Girl, the Legendary Assassin—'Purgatory Rose'!

"you……"

Before he could even utter the word "good," Qin Fang's smile behind his mask froze slightly, and he subconsciously stopped talking.

In the 'modern office' scene, a flash of white light appears, and then...

A completely naked black-haired girl appeared before Qin Fang.

Her expression was blank; she showed no surprise or panic at suddenly appearing in this unfamiliar place.

Her delicate face was completely numb.

Like a delicate doll.

She saw Qin Fang, but didn't make any move... Completely naked, she didn't even instinctively try to protect him, just stood there quietly.

Soon enough, she was drawn to the view outside the modern office window. She turned her head and stared blankly out the window.

It seemed that the scenery outside the window was more captivating to her than the fact that a stranger had suddenly appeared in this place...

Qin Fang opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But then, thinking about the other person's life, he fell silent.

He glanced at the other person again, almost instinctively...

She was indeed an excessively beautiful young girl.

Her long, jet-black hair reached her hips, smooth and bright. Her features were exquisite, like a masterpiece created by Nuwa. She had a long neck, jade-like bones and ice-like skin, and her slender shoulders, as if carved by a knife, were adorned with ample breasts.

Below her slender, flat waist and abdomen, her legs are straight and long.

Skin that has never seen the sun is as white as snow, almost transparent, and you can vaguely see the faint bluish veins under the skin.

Clean to the point of being almost transparent.

Perfect beyond human comprehension.

It seemed as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

...Qin Fang had seen beautiful women before.

Gu Yiyun, Yu Qianqiu, Qin Yue... each has her own unique beauty.

But it must be said that, in terms of color alone... the girl in front of them is undoubtedly far superior.

But her eyes were lifeless, numb and dull. She seemed to have no emotional response to the sudden appearance of the stranger Qin Fang.

Instead, the sunlight and scenery outside the office attracted her attention more.

Even so, she just stared blankly, without showing any emotion.

Qin Fang was speechless for a moment. His eyes eventually left her perfect body. He sighed softly, and the next moment, he had a thought and waved his hand.

The next moment, a set of clothes appeared on the girl's body.

The sudden appearance of clothes on her body brought the puppet-like girl back to her senses.

But he merely glanced down blankly, then made no other move or gave any further feedback.

She was wearing a simple white shirt and a black skirt...

Standard office attire.

"I'll just have to make do with these for now... These are the only outfits available for this scene..."

Qin Fang offered a weak explanation, then paused.

Although she was dressed, her charm did not diminish; instead, it gained a unique allure that blended intellectual elegance with seductive charm.

To use a popular term...

Both innocent and alluring.

Qin Fang remained silent for a long time before speaking again.

"Can you...understand what I'm saying?"

He asked.

This time, the girl raised her head, but she just stared at him blankly, neither nodding nor shaking her head.

Just watch quietly.

Qin Fang fell silent again.

Then I got a bit of a headache.

Clearly, his past experiences have caused this new employee to completely close himself off.

Now it's more like a beautifully crafted walking corpse.

It was difficult to elicit any emotional response from her.

What troubled Qin Fang even more was...

He doesn't know the language of cherry blossoms yet...

Aside from a few words like 'da me' and 'ya mi die'...

Cough cough.

This undoubtedly makes communication more difficult and challenging.

He fell silent for a moment.

He just stared at the blank-eyed girl like that.

After a long pause, Qin Fang was the first to give in, and said with a wry smile, "Alright, I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, but..."

"I'm sending you here abruptly because I want to invite you to join my organization... At the same time, I also hope to give you some power to change the status quo..."

The girl simply stared at him quietly and numbly, offering no response.

Qin Fang sighed softly and simply stopped talking.

He reached out and held out a contract. Then he stepped forward and stood in front of the girl.

The girl watched him quietly until he walked up to her, without any attempt to avoid or defend herself.

She was considerably shorter than Qin Fang, which gave Qin Fang some small comfort... she knew to slowly raise her head as he approached, her gaze, though blank, still subconsciously locked onto his face.

This shows that she does react to external stimuli to some extent...

They didn't completely turn into zombies.

Recalling the other person's life, Qin Fang sighed softly... More than three years have passed since the other person was first forced by her beastly father.

She initially struggled and resisted.

But each act of resistance only brought her more cruel torture... not just physical, but also mental, which eventually numbed her completely.

It is said that the greatest sorrow is the death of the heart.

The real her probably died three years ago, right?

Thinking it over, he didn't say anything more and reached out to grab the other person's hand.

She remained expressionless and offered no resistance, obediently allowing Qin Fang to hold her hand.

No wonder she was crowned the queen of the night for several consecutive years...

Qin put his mind to it.

But he quickly shook his head, shaking off the filthy thoughts that had subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

There was a moment of awkwardness, then he took her hand and pressed it onto the contract in her hand...

Since communication is difficult, let's let the facts speak for themselves.

Once the panel changes, she will naturally understand what happened.

...Since the other party is currently in the land of cherry blossoms, Qin Fang didn't expect her to be able to do anything.

He recruited a new legend simply because he needed to advance to rank 3.

At the same time, you will gain a brand new legendary class skill.

But the other person's tragic past... made him want to offer them some help.

The power was given to her.

But what she does next is entirely up to her.

If she has truly lost all hope and the will to resist has been completely extinguished... then he can only feel sorry for her.

As the fingertips touched the contract, a wisp of golden flame slowly ignited, engulfing the contract.

Qin loosened his grip, and the contract burned in the air, quickly turning into ashes.

But soon, golden flames also ignited on the girl's body.

The golden flames looked divine.

The girl also noticed the strange changes happening to her body, but her face remained numb and unchanged.

A moment later, Qin Fang heard the notification sound from the panel.

Congratulations on signing your 99th dedicated employee. All of this employee's achievements are now shared with you.

[You have obtained the legendary class 'Infernal Rose'!]

[You have gained the passive skill 'Void Thorn Blood Seal Lv3', and the skills 'Boundary Severing Scissors Lv3', 'Rose Thorn Cage Lv3', 'Void Leap Funeral Lv3'...]

[You have obtained 'Class Finishing Move - Purgatory Corridor' lv3!]

Your power has increased...

...

It's actually the legendary assassin class?

Qin Fang's eyes flashed, and he looked at these skills with some anticipation.

[Skill: Void Thorn Blood Seal Lv3 (Passive)]

【Void Thorn Bloodmark Lv3 (Passive): A crimson flower blooming in the void's rifts, its branches pierced by the void and its thorns by fate! All attacks from 'Purgatory Rose' will stack "Rose Mark" on enemies, each stack increasing all damage taken by the target by 50%, up to a maximum of 6 stacks. (Ignores all defense or damage reduction). When skills or attacks hit enemies with the mark, each instance of damage has a 50% chance to trigger "Thorn Feedback." (Thorn Feedback: Deflects a small spatial blade, dealing damage to other enemies within a 10-meter radius. The damage coefficient is 50% of the number of 'Rose Mark' stacks on the primary target, and simultaneously grants the caster a "Void Shield" (immune to all types of damage the next time)).

...

The mere passive effect was enough to make Qin Fang gasp in shock.

All I can say is...

Is it really a legendary profession?

This passive ability, while not quite as good as 'Time Prison Guardian'... after all, 'Time Prison Guardian' not only has two clones, but also a 'resurrection' effect.

In this respect, the 'Hollow Thorn Blood Mark' is far inferior.

But in terms of increasing damage... it's in no way inferior!

It can also increase damage by 300%!

Especially after triggering 'Thorn Feedback', there's even a shield that grants immunity to all damage!

...This is invincible frame rate!

To be fair... even if it can't compare to the 'Guardian of Time Prison', it is absolutely worthy of the legendary title!

Qin Fang's eyes lit up.

Legends truly are legends...

This intensity...

He looked forward to the next skill with great anticipation.

...

[Severing Scissors Lv3: Dashes behind the target and performs two intersecting spatial slashes, during which the target cannot be targeted. Each slash adds 3 stacks of 'Void Thorn Blood Mark' and deals additional true damage based on the target's lost health. If this attack kills the target, it refreshes all skill cooldowns.]

Cooldown: 30 minutes

...

This skill made Qin Fang gasp in shock.

It's not because of how high the damage is, but because...

If this attack kills the target, all skill cooldowns will be refreshed!

What the hell is this?

If they start killing each other... wouldn't that turn them into a perpetual motion machine?

His eyes widened immediately.

He swallowed hard.

Is this the legendary assassin?

...Isn't that a bit too unfair?

He was deeply shocked.

He swallowed hard before looking at the third skill...

...

【Rose Thorn Cage Lv3: Summons a thorny cage composed of spatial rifts in a designated area, lasting 15 seconds. Enemies inside the cage suffer spatial cutting damage every second and are inflicted with 2 stacks of Mark, sealing all means of escape. Enemies attempting to cross the cage will be knocked back and inflicted with "Spatial Bleeding" (continuous damage).】

[Cooldown time: 30 minutes]

...

Domain control damage skill.

This skill is just as terrifying.

'Ban all methods of escaping into the void!'

In other words... it is impossible to leave by teleporting.

There must be a positional issue involved here.

But the key point is that this is a legendary profession.

In other words, legendary and lower-level methods of escaping into the air are definitely banned.

...I wonder if my Void Boots' ability to escape through space will be banned?

Qin Fang thought to himself.

The other effects seemed so-so, and their duration was short, only fifteen minutes.

Can……

What if we combine it with the first 'Boundary Scissors'?

How terrifying is this in a large-scale battle?

Is there any chance for the person she's targeting to escape?

...

Qin Fang was shocked and looked at the fourth skill...

...

[Airborne Funeral Lv3: Enters a void rift, allowing for 3 collision-ignoring volumetric teleportations within 5 seconds. The teleportation cannot be targeted. Each teleportation deals damage to all enemies in its path and applies 3 stacks of Imprint. The final teleportation triggers a spatial explosion at its endpoint, knocking back enemies and removing all negative status effects from the user.]

Leap displacement damage skill.

This skill is relatively average in strength.

Compared to similar techniques, it is still inferior to the "Nine Leaps of Broken Chapters" guarded by the Time Prison.

However, it is clearly superior to the teleportation methods of other epic assassins!

All I can say is... it lives up to its legendary reputation.

Then Qin Fang looked at the last awakening skill...

...

[Awakening Skill: Purgatory Corridor Lv3]

[A "Purgatory Corridor" field with a radius of 300 meters is created, lasting for 30 seconds. All enemy movement skills within the field are disabled, and the target is immobilized (the immobilization effect depends on the enemy's position). At the same position, the enemy's speed is reduced by 40%. For each position higher, the speed is reduced by an additional 20%, until absolute immobilization occurs. Conversely, the same applies until the immobilization expires. During the field's duration, the cooldown of "Void Leap Funeral" is reduced to once per second. Every second, spatial thorns erupt from the ground, immobilizing enemies and applying 3 stacks of marking. When a target accumulates six stacks of "Void Thorn Blood Mark," the markings on that target can be detonated. Each stack deals base attack damage plus 8% of the target's maximum health as spatial tear damage. During the duration of "Purgatory Corridor," the cooldown of "Boundary Severing Scissors" is reset for every 3 enemies who die within it, and the duration of "Purgatory Corridor" is increased. The maximum duration is twelve hours.]

Cooldown time: 1 hour

...

Qin Fang was stunned when he saw the finishing move.

Especially when he saw the last line of description, he couldn't even believe his eyes...

...What the hell is this "Purgatory Corridor" duration? Every three enemies who die within it reset the cooldown of "Boundary Severing Scissors" and add to the "Purgatory Corridor" duration. Maximum duration is twelve hours?!?

He recognized every single word on it.

But when they were combined, his consciousness became somewhat hazy...

A... theoretically, it can last up to twelve hours...

A professional awakening skill?!

What the hell is this thing?!

Even Qin Fang was stunned at this moment.

...He's quite knowledgeable and worldly-wise.

He had even seen legendary professions like the Time Prison Guardian.

Even so... he was still taken aback.

because……

Isn't this a bit too terrifying?!

...

Even Qin Fang was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Without a doubt, this 'Purgatory Rose' is very different from other legendary classes... because it's a class that relies on 'class awakening skills'!

No wonder the previous skills didn't seem very powerful.

Because all of these skills are created in conjunction with class awakening skills!

The single-target damage skill "Boundary Severing Scissors" will reset its cooldown if three enemies die during the duration of the awakening skill.

"Airborne Funeral" has a cooldown of only 1 second during the duration of "Infernal Corridor"!

And for every three people who die, the duration of Purgatory Corridor will increase.

...What the hell is this perpetual motion machine combination?!

Qin Fang is a bit silly.

Only two words came to mind...

Invincible!

Utterly invincible!

To be fair, the guard of the Time Prison is clearly superior to him, except for his 'passive' nature.

If it really comes down to a fight to the death...

Thinking about this...

Qin Fang was suddenly stunned.

Forehead……

All right……

If it really is a fight to the death...

It is estimated that the guards of the Time Prison are superior.

no way……

The Time Prison Guardian's finishing move has the effect of 'stopping time for 20 seconds'!

That's outrageous.

Although 'Purgatory Rose' is powerful.

But after all, it's an assassin profession.

During the 20-second time stop, the attack power of 'Time Prison Guardian'...

It is absolutely enough to kill 'Infernal Rose'.

...Well, saying that is a bit too absolute.

Because this is based on the premise that the 'Guardian of Time' must first find the 'Infernal Rose'...

Qin Fang's mind raced, imagining who would be stronger if these two were to face off...

In the end, he could only admit...

In a one-on-one fight, the Guardian of Time Prison might be stronger.

But if it's a group battle...

Purgatory Rose is invincible!

These skills combined...

A simple boss battle might not be very effective.

But if it's a group battle...

Even the guardian of Time Prison can't compare!

Look at these descriptions...

If the enemy is a boss with minions... then there's almost no way to win!

Because the number of minions equals the number of times she can use her skills!

...What kind of boss can withstand this kind of drain?

In particular, all of this thing's warp abilities come with the 'unselectable' characteristic.

And it keeps refreshing a 'damage reduction shield'...

After a group fight, he'll probably still be in top condition!

After all... this thing doesn't have any skills, or even an 'energy bar'.

It's equivalent to zero consumption!

As long as the skills are linked properly, this is a perfect perpetual motion machine!

What could possibly restrain him is probably his stamina bar...

Qin Fang was completely shocked.

...I have to say, the prestige of this legendary profession is...

That's fucking high!

...

It took Qin Fang a long time to accept the fact that his new profession was more terrifying than he had imagined.

Then he let out a long breath and came to his senses.

...It had been a long time since he had seen such a terrifying profession. He subconsciously looked up at the girl who had given him such a surprise.

When he looked up and saw the girl's expression, Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat.
