This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Chapter 423 Skill 1: Survive Until the End

Rita quickly turned a corner, activated her Hunter's Eye to confirm that no one was around, then used Invisibility to switch into a new outfit. After that, she used a disguise skill to change her race. Considering that Wind Scythe was involved earlier, Rita decided to transform into an oak owl this time.

Nivalis transformed into a small snake and hung around Rita's ear, blending in perfectly.

They didn't leave immediately, continuing to explore the area.

But soon, a group of Wind Scythe soldiers appeared on the main street of Tonton Lin's capital. Wolf Fortress, holding the arm of a large Wind Scythe, was walking down the street, crying: "Uncle! My hard-earned money has been stolen again!! It must be that thief who always steals in our Wind Scythe capital! It has to be!"

Rita and Nivalis simultaneously looked up at the large Wind Scythe's name—Wazo.

Rita & Nivalis: "...Great, it's the Wind Scythe royal family."

Nivalis wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. "We cannot let our skills be exposed, or we're as good as dead."

Rita: "Isn't Dragon Island supposed to protect us?"

Nivalis: "What I mean is, we'll die once out here, then die again on Dragon Island."

Rita was horrified. "But when I shared skills with you last time, you didn't say anything like that! You said Dragon Island would protect us!"

Nivalis scratched her head, looking confused. "Huh? Did I say that?"

Rita: "...Who messed with your head, Nivalis?! You were never like this!"

Standing there as an oak owl, Rita appeared calm and collected, her mental fortitude unshaken.

Nivalis, on the other hand, felt nervous. "I'm starting to get worried."

Rita: "We just found a wild wallet. What's there to be nervous about?"

Nivalis: "...Before, Holy Cup said that a player's divine talents are tied to their personality, and I didn't believe it. Now, I do. I'm just not cut out for this skill."

As for "unable to use any skills while disguised," once she acquired more Golden Tree Withered Leaf, that limitation could be circumvented!

The only issue was that this skill was located in Skill 1 and was tied to her Sharpshooter talent's passive You're Too Weak—which allowed her to detect enemy weaknesses during combat.

The Moon Fox was charging toward her, but in the span of just a few seconds, Rita made her decision. This skill was hers!

You're Too Weak was fine, but Survive Until the End was more unique and suited her better. If she had to choose, she would go for the latter.

She immediately used I Just Want to Improve So Badly on the surrounding Wind Scythe soldiers, casting it over a dozen times until her health dropped to 10%. After downing a few potions, her health kept dropping.

The Moon Fox, confused by Rita's rapidly decreasing health, didn't stop. When he passed by her, Rita moved slightly to block his path. Without hesitation, he shoved her aside with great force.

At this point, Rita's information was disguised, so in the eyes of this level 48 Moon Fox, she was just a low-level NPC.

However, after the Moon Fox passed, Rita quickly pulled out Ashes, firing several shots at herself, much to the horror and disbelief of the Wind Scythe soldiers watching.

Nivalis's frost power enveloped Rita's entire body. As soon as she was injured, the frost would freeze the wound, preventing any blood loss. But since Rita was disguised, it didn't matter much if she lost health.

Meanwhile, Rita followed the Moon Fox from behind, trying to use Moment of Reversal to swap skills.

She had already been attacked, so all she needed was to be at a disadvantage.

On the streets of Tonton Lin, everyone watched in disbelief.

The Moon Fox was running ahead, with an oak owl flying low behind it, shooting herself with a gun as she chased. Behind her, a group of Wind Scythe soldiers followed.

The Moon Fox turned around, shocked! What was this? Was this some kind of curse? Was the oak owl really this crazy?

Just when it seemed that Rita's reputation would be ruined, her health dropped to a mere 0.8%!

Moment of Reversal—Successfully activated!
