She's dead.

This is a matter of course, no one can be crushed by an arrow after ingesting a deadly poison and still alive after being crushed by an arrow.

Yes, no matter how strong a warrior is, no matter how wise a wizard is, there is a limit to how much they can endure, and it is impossible for them to survive such damage.

No one can do it, no one.

What's more, she still has more than a dozen sword wounds on her body and the same number of arrow wounds.

Even if she's a Dragonborn, there shouldn't be any surprises. After all, before Alice, there were more than a dozen emperors in the Septine Dynasty, and they were all dragonborn, although they were not as overwhelmingly powerful as Alice, but their bloodlines were undoubtedly pure.

Among them were unlucky people who were killed by a dagger. Then Alice, who is also a dragonborn, should not be an exception.

Now, it's just a matter of making the final validation.

"You two, go over and cut off her head. ”

Two low-ranking Assassins were given this honor. Although they weren't necessarily very happy, under the cold gaze of several high-ranking assassins present, they had to stubbornly move forward, cautiously walking towards the blood-stained clearing.

Alice's body lay there quietly. Like weathered limestone, pale, cold, motionless.

No matter how you look at it, she deserves to die. Dead completely.

But none of the people present dared to take it lightly - after all, the tenacious vitality she had shown before was really impressive. Even now, it is believed that there are many assassins who secretly complain about Gabriella in their hearts. If she could shoot a little higher or make up for it with another arrow that would break Alice's neck, she wouldn't need to be so nervous now.

It wasn't certain that she was really dead, and no one present was able to settle down.

No one dared to settle down.

It's not a short journey, but it's not long. After taking at least twice as long as usual, the two trembling creatures finally arrived at Alice's half-shell.

Their gazes collided in the air for about three breaths before one of the stronger-looking characters slowly bent down and pressed his finger to Alice's carotid artery.

"No pulse!" the low-ranking assassin shouted, his voice filled with excitement and relief.

At the same time, there was more than one voice of relief coming from the surroundings. Some of the spells and bolts that were ready to fire were also retracted, and they were no longer pointed around the two poor assassins.

The Assassin, who had taken Alice's pulse, lifted her by the hair and examined her countenance.

"She's beautiful. The Assassin exclaimed in a low voice. It was as if what he was carrying in his hands at this moment was not a half-corpse, but a precious marble statue carefully crafted by a master carver among the high elves.

And Alice does deserve this compliment.

Her eyes were closed, and only two crimson blood streaks hung from the sides of her cheeks. The lilac lips were pursed tightly, and the white skin was not stained with a single gray—as if she had not been hurt in the slightest, and had simply fallen asleep from exhaustion.

"Hey, hurry up and do it. The other assassin urged, slamming lightly on his shoulder.

After all, time is of the essence, and they are assassins walking in the shadows, not suitable for direct face-to-face with the town guards.

The Assassin nodded, reluctantly looking away from Alice's face. He quickly pulled out a long dagger from his back. He pressed it against Alice's snow-white neck.

With a little force, the skin was cut open and dark red blood flowed out.

"Whew~" The assassin exhaled softly, and only then did he relax a little.

And that's when ......

Alice's eyes snapped open!

“！！！”

'Bang-!!!!'

"!!Uhh

The sudden explosion and screams came almost at the same time! Just by the distraction of the assassins present, the body of the leader burst without warning! The crimson blood mist suddenly obscured everyone's sight!

"Be careful! don't let her run!!" the parrot shouted. Immediately, several Assassins jumped to the nearest vantage point. Keep this neighborhood firmly under watch.

The dispersed blood mist was blown away by the spell wind in an instant, but at the center of the explosion was only a mortally wounded assassin lying on the ground.

"Oh, shit. The parrot cursed in a low voice, shouting orders as he hurried towards the wounded assassin.

"Don't move, everyone!

"You two, go and inform Lord Gabriella. The rest of the people stay on guard!"

"Prepare for life detection, come over with a healing spell!"

The wounds of the badly wounded Assassin were gradually healed in the warm yellow glow, but his spirit seemed to have been damaged in some way extremely severely. His eyes rolled, his hands and feet twitched, and he spat out indistinct bytes.

"What did you say?" asked a high-ranking assassin in a low voice.

"Golden, golden eyes! she! she—monster !!," the assassin said in horror. "She's going to kill us! she's going to kill us all!"

Parrot decisively punched him and knocked the noisy guy unconscious.

"What's the mess, is it because the magic is affecting your mind?" the parrot waved his hand slightly, and someone lifted the immobile creature up and placed him in a safer corner.

At that moment, an assassin dressed in wizard's robes had finished casting a spell, shooting a reddish glow from her eyes in all directions. Reach out to a large area around you.

High-level restoration spells, life vision.

"There's movement in that house!"

Before he could finish speaking, the doors and windows of the hut were shattered by all kinds of forces and magical powers! Several high-ranking assassins leaped in, vigilantly exploring the corners where they might be hiding!

They pounced. A featureless male whisper soon came from the deepest part: "Just a frightened child." ”

"Maybe she can't be classified as a living thing anymore?" said one of the Assassins. And took out the corresponding scroll and prepared to use.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind!

"What's going on!?"

The alarmed Assassins arrived in an instant, but they saw only a comatose ordinary resident in a dwelling with a deep bruise on the back of his neck.

"It's bait! Everyone separates! We have to see each other!"

The Assassins were alerted to such rapid movement that they spaced off from each other in a matter of seconds, scrutinizing their surroundings for any suspicious spots.

"She must be around here......"

Just then, an assassin with a particularly keen sense of smell sniffed. He smelled blood!

"Huh......?"

"This, this is! this can't be!" a Brotherhood assassin pointed to a corner in horror, as if he had seen something completely incomprehensible!

That place...... The parrot's eyes flickered, and she suddenly remembered that the terrified assassin was being placed there by them!

"What's wrong with him!?" cried out the parrot.

"He, he's gone......"

"Gone, what do you mean?"

"Come and see for yourself. ”

The parrot walked briskly over. Then her mouth opened wide and could no longer be closed.

There was no sign of a fight, and the assassin's sword and dagger were safely where they were supposed to be. The Brotherhood's unique stealth armor also has no new scars on it. Gloves, hoods, shoes, pouches, kits, belts, rings, amulets, blouses, linings, trousers, nothing less. None of them were broken.

But the man was gone.

Not a single hair, not a single nail left, is gone.

In its place, there was a large pool of blood on the ground.

Crimson blood, with crystal blue veins distributed inside. And it exudes a sweet scent.

"It's her blood. A high-ranking assassin stepped up to take a closer look.

"But there were nearly three liters here, which was almost three-quarters of the blood in her body. She...... How!?"

It's incredible. Even at the most optimistic estimates, Alice is now absolutely in a near-death state. Not to mention how she had silently attacked the wounded Assassin, and even if she could, why would she take people away and leave only her clothes?

[Are there any spells that can only be used on the human body......]

[Could it be!]

The parrot's face was pale.

An incomparably terrifying possibility instantly appeared in her mind, which almost heralded the death of everyone present!

She felt her teeth collide in Gege. I felt a cold feeling from the bone marrow.

"We, there is a **** annoying ......"

She said word by word: "She, in, for, blood!"

……………………

"We're annoyed. Delafi looked at the sky and said with a melancholy expression.

"It seems that your puppet forces are pressing them down now?" said Solini on the side, confused. "I don't see anything that could be a threat to us. Or are you referring to the people on the other side?"

"Even if you can't beat them, you should be able to run. ”

Delafi shook his head, his voice full of wistfulness.

"Now, do you remember that night twenty years ago? Twenty years ago, the last night of the frost moon. ”

Soreni's expression froze. It was a long time before she whispered, "It is impossible to forget forever." ”

"yes, who would forget it? After all, it's the North Sea Monster. The North Sea Monster that almost destroyed half of the academy. Her finger was pointing upwards, pointing to the sky.

At some point, the originally clear sky was shrouded in heavy clouds. Dark purple thunder rushed through it, making a low sound.

"Already...... It's too late......"
