Chapter 396: Shadow and Assassination
In the continent of Erin, the "kingdom" composed of aristocratic groups and the "church" composed of believers and clergy are undoubtedly the most powerful group forces in the kingdom. But in addition to these two groups, there are also some hidden families scattered outside the group, although those hidden families have great power, but for various reasons did not appear in front of everyone's eyes.
The Arthur Sing family is a typical hermit family.
Most of the reasons why the hidden family is hidden have their own reasons. The reason why the Athursin family chose to live in seclusion is that the Athursin family was an Assassin family - the name "Athursine" also means "Assassin" in the Elven language.
As an Assassin family, the Athursin family was clearly not fit to stand on the table like a knight or mage family, and could only develop their power in the shadows. However, although the Arthur Sins did not stand on the table, they did business with many nobles - mainly to spy on intelligence, and occasionally do some assassination and other work.
As the number one enemy of the Northboy Kingdom, the Demon King has naturally become the object that the Northboy royal family wants to kill the most! Therefore, when the Northboy Kingdom investigated the identity of the Demon King, the Arthur Sing family received an expensive assassination commission - to assassinate the Demon King.
The Northboy Kingdom offers a very good reward, but in the eyes of the elders of the Arthur Sin family, this mission is too risky - there is too little information about the strength of the Demon King, and assassinating the Demon King in this situation is completely gambling! As an Assassin family, the Arthur Sins did not like to assassinate with certainty.
But the current patriarch of the Arthur Sheen family, Willy, took the task personally.
The elders were a little puzzled by Willy's actions, but Willy didn't explain much.
When Willy was younger, she was a classmate of the young Queen Rhea for a while. It was Villely's happiest time, and compared to the rotten and oppressive life of the Arthur Sheen family, the school days were as warm and comfortable as under the spring sun. Therefore, Willy felt some indescribable anger at the killing of her former friend Rhea Catnari, and at the same time, she was also very disgusted with the demon king who killed Queen Rhea! So Willy took on the task.
Don't get me wrong, Willy doesn't intend to avenge her former friend, she's just unhappy with the Demon King! It's like seeing someone ruin your treasured figurine, but you're unapologetic – and if you don't vent your frustration, it's very uncomfortable.
Willy didn't want to make herself uncomfortable, so Willy personally accepted the commission to assassinate the Demon King.
However, inside the Demon King's castle, Willy is surprised to find that Queen Rhea is still alive!
Willy was overjoyed to see Queen Rhea, who was still surviving. After confirming that Queen Rhea did not defect to the demons but was in captivity, Willy contacted the captured queen.
Unbeknownst to Queen Rhea, the "King of Assassins" from the Arthur Sin family, she happily agreed to Willy's proposal and decided to assist Willy in assassinating the Demon King!
After obtaining some information about the Demon King from Queen Rhea, Willy revised her original plan, set up some traps in Queen Rhea's room, and quietly waited for her target to come to her door.
Shortly after Willy had set the trap, Green emerged from the retreating crystal warehouse.
For the Demon King, the Mana Crystal is the food with the highest efficiency in the transformation of Chaos Mana - but it is a little less cost-effective. If the eaten mana crystals were replaced with food and then absorbed, Grimm could gain a thousand times or even ten thousand times more chaos magic - and of course, the time it took to digest food would also increase by a hundred, a thousand times.
Devouring Mana Crystals is not a cost-effective option, and it is more suitable as a contingency. So when Green was almost recovered, he left the crystal warehouse.
Green had just left the warehouse when he met Beladonna in the hallway outside the warehouse.
"Daddy~" Beladona glanced at Chikage and walked over, holding Green's arm with a happy smile on her face.
The girl wore a white dress with a thin waist, which made her plump boobs look extra full.
Green felt the touch on his arm, and a subtle smile appeared on his face: "Nana, is there something wrong?" ”
"Dad. The woman who was locked up in room 307 said she wanted to see you. ”
"Three-zero-seven?" Green thought for a moment, "Oh, you mean the poor milk queen. What's the matter with her wanting to see me? ”
"She says she has a way to get the Kingdom of Northbod to make peace with us." There was a hint of hesitation on Belladonna's face, "I don't think she's at ease." ”
"Hmm......," Green frowned slightly, "then let's go meet her." ”
I don't know what Queen Rhea has planned, but if she can stop fighting with the kingdom, it will be a good thing for Green. After all, with a large number of monster nests, the longer it drags on, the more troops under Grimm will be. If it drags on for one or twenty years, Green can even ignore the troublesome Great Wall and directly take thousands of Wyverns directly around the Great Wall and attack the hinterland of the kingdom!
Green took Chikage and Beladona to Queen Rhea's room.
……
In Queen Rhea's room, Willy was quietly hiding in the shadows, waiting for Green to appear.
Each patriarch of the Arthur Syn family automatically earns the title of "King of the Assassins". This is an honorific title for the first assassin of the Athursin family, and it also represents the Archaeum of the Athursin Patriarch.
————
Phantasm: King of Assassins: Summons eighteen Assassin Elders at the same time to assassinate the target.
————
There is only one man, and it is obviously impossible to be called a king. Each of the eighteen Assassins summoned by the King of Assassins had the exact same strength as the Elders of the Athersin family - to be precise, the summoned Assassins were clones of the eighteen family elders.
At a very close distance, being attacked at the same time by eighteen assassin elders whose strength is not inferior to that of the Golden Rank, even a legendary knight is a dead end! What's more, Willy herself is also a "quasi-legend" with a world of mental images.
Willy hasn't been able to gather her treasures yet, but the world of heart images has matured. Therefore, Willy's best fighting method is to drag the target into her own heart image world, and then activate the family heirloom Assassin King, summoning eighteen gold-level strength "Elder Assassins", and swarming them, one person and one sword! This is an absolute killer move, even if the legendary knight is suddenly besieged by eighteen golden assassins, it is doomed, not to mention that the world of Willy's heart is still dark, and the assassins will always be in a state of stealth.
Unfortunately, the Demon King seems to be very good at destroying the Heart Image World, so Willy has to give up the idea of dragging the Demon King into the Heart Image World and can only assassinate the Demon King in the main plane.
The stakes are undoubtedly greater, but Willy has the help of Queen Rhea, which allows Willy to compensate for the environmental vulnerability through many pitfalls.
Willy lay in ambush in the room, quietly waiting......
Suddenly, Willy's ears moved slightly.
Someone's coming!
It didn't take long for the door to open, and the demon princess walked in with a dark-haired boy in plain clothes......
The goal appears! Didn't see the shadow guard beside the Demon King.
Willy didn't hesitate to attack!
Willy burst out of the shadows on the side of the door and stabbed at Green! At the same time, the trap that had been laid out before was activated instantly, and a strong light suddenly erupted in the room!
The light not only dazzled the boy's eyes, but also instantly destroyed the shadows around the black-haired boy, making it impossible for the shadow guards hidden in the shadow plane to come out.
The sharp dagger instantly pierced the demon king's chest!
"Arthur Sim Dead! Listen to me! Kill! Willy recited the prayer of the Noble Phantasm.
As a pair of Phantasms, the "King of Assassins" prayer wasn't short, but it was enough time for Green to react.
"Die!" Green roared and threw a punch in front of him.
"Click! ~”
Space shattered! The unreserved power destroyed the entire room in an instant, leaving only a black hole in front of Green......
However, Willy appeared on Green's side!
"Kill!" With Willy's last voice, a group of black masked men emerged from the shadows outside the house, carrying daggers, and slashed at Grimm.
At the same time as the masked assassins appeared, the Thousand Shadows hidden in the shadow plane finally found an opportunity, and emerged from a shadow in a nearby corner and rushed towards Green.
"Master!"
The masked assassins were clearly not going to let Thousand Shadows and Green turn. Several masked assassins slashed directly at Thousand Shadows.
This group of assassins is obviously well versed in the art of combos, and every time they strike, several people strike at the same time! In the face of this group of besiegers, it was difficult for Qianying to break through for a while.
Willy danced around Grimm as the dagger in her hand drew bone-deep blood marks on Grimm, and then instantly retreated into the shadows and vanished, replaced by the summoned masked assassins who laid siege to Grimm.
Beladona's face was flustered, and she grabbed Green's arm and looked at a loss.
Greene: "Die!" Die! ”
In the face of this group of masked assassins who came up, Green didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly threw two punches at his right and back, directly destroying the space in the front, back, and right, while Bella, who was in his left hand, became Green's shield, blocking the only remaining direction.
Faced with such a spatial blockade, some of the masked assassins besieged the Thousand Shadows not far away, and the remaining part of the masked assassins could only wield daggers and kill Beladona.
Green grabbed Beladonna and threw her out like a punching bag!
"Huh!!" Beladonna screamed and flew out.
In the face of the smashed sandbag, the Assassins did not hesitate at all, and directly flashed the "big sandbag" that flew over, and killed Green at a speed - they knew their goal very well, so they did not spend too much time on Beladonna.
However, it took some time to avoid Beladonna. And Green took advantage of this time and did not hesitate to unhook the restrainer on his body.
"Fully unlocked!"
In an instant, Green felt like he was full of power! The chaos magic in his whole body seemed to be gushing out.
However, at this moment, Green suddenly felt a pain in his crotch!
"Click~" Green seemed to hear the sound of something shattering, and at the same time, the chaos magic in his body passed as quickly as water.
Green lowered his head and looked at his feet in horror.
In the shadows at his feet, a dwarf emerged from the shadows, took a dagger, and stabbed Grimm into the base of his thigh!
"The hosts! Beware of assassinations! There are a lot of Assassins who have crept into the shadows. At this moment, the anxious voice of a thousand shadows was heard in the distance.
You're too late!
This is not the key point of humanity, and it stands to reason that Green will not react much, but there is a trace of fear in Green's eyes - because this is where the "Demon King's Heart" is hiding!
Yes, Green's heart did not have a chest, but was surgically moved to the base of his thigh. In Green's opinion, this is a very safe position, and the facts have proved that Green's judgment is very correct - when he was assassinated before, the opponent's first target was indeed his own heart. But at this time, the dwarf's attack hit Green's vital point!
Did they find out where the Demon King's Heart was?
Green didn't know, but feeling the chaotic magic that was rapidly flowing in his body, Green knew that if he continued like this, he might really die!
"Die!" Green couldn't care about saving effort anymore, and swept Beradorna away, and at the same time exploded all the strength of his body without hesitation!
"Boom! ~”
Space collapsed, and only a giant black hole remained where Green was.
At the periphery of the black hole, Chikage and Mona looked at everything in horror in front of them.
"Master!"
"Daddy!!"
"Mona! ~~”
