Ten minutes later, as the black magic whip sprang out like a poisonous snake again, piercing through the chest of the high priest who was flying extremely fast in mid-air, the blood volume on the top of the high priest's head was completely cleared, and the wind elemental magic on his body that supported his flight also dissipated, and the whole person fell from mid-air like a tattered doll.

Witnessing this scene from afar, Mu Yun, who was chasing behind on his rare mount, breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly became excited.

It worked! This assassination mission was really successful!

Seeing in the sky, the NPC powerhouse who took him all the way into the Northland Wasteland to carry out this assassination mission also fell from mid-air, crouching next to the corpse of the high priest, obviously confirming the death of the high priest, Mu Yun also hurriedly urged his mount, and approached the place where the high priest fell with all his strength.

Speaking of which, this assassination activity actually made Mu Yun a little confused from beginning to end. In his memory, in his previous life, in this battle of the Beast Spirit Clan's invasion of the Radiant Empire, there was only one assassination operation on the side of the Radiant Empire against the high-level of the Beast Spirit Clan, and that was the assassination operation led by the Dragon Tooth Society. In the game of this life, the target of this assassination was changed from the high priest of the beast spirit to the golden Beamon Airo, who had never appeared in the previous life, and the final result was also a failure because of the strength of the high priest.

After that failed assassination, Mu Yun did not stay too much on the Western Front battlefield, through the previous battle with the player team of Mu Tianxia and the NPC assassins of the Dragon Tooth Society against the Golden Beamon Airo twice, Mu Yun can already confirm that this strange beast spirit NPC general who has not appeared in his previous life is definitely not an existence that their players can deal with at this stage, so he decisively led the team of Mu Tianxia players from the Western Front battlefield to the Eastern Front, and the final battle results on the Eastern Front also proved his wisdom, Without such a strong hostile NPC as Iroh to stir up the situation, Mu Yun led the player legion of the Mu Tianxia Guild to cooperate with the imperial army on the Eastern Front, and fought several beautiful victories on the Eastern Front, and it was at this time that a mysterious NPC powerhouse found him.

The other party calls himself Conte, a super assassin hired from the dark mercenary world by the Dragon's Tooth Society through "special means" since the first assassination failure, and the strength of a level 120 world-class boss is absolutely rare in the game, and almost every player who appears will be immediately announced by the players who do good things, but the strange thing is that Mu Yun's previous life game memory has no impression of this NPC powerhouse who looks like a smart businessman from the Free Federation.

However, although he has no impression of Conte, but with the many plots in the game in this life that are very different from the previous life, Mu Yun is no longer as concerned about the memory of his previous life game as he was when he was just reborn, and the mysterious characteristics are consistent with Conte's identity from the dark mercenary world of the continent, and more importantly, Conte brought him a shocking news: the empire intends to assassinate the top of the beast spirit clan again, and this time, the object is not the missing Ello, Rather, it was verified that it was very likely that he was the ultimate mastermind of this war, the Beast Spirit High Priest.

After learning about this, Mu Yun was very excited, the 120-level powerhouse assassinated the 110-level high priest, which sounds much more reliable than the previous group of Terrans who had the highest level and did not reach the 110-level Yellow Rooster Bimeng in the beast spirit army camp at this moment, once successful, this will definitely be an important event that can determine the direction of the next plot. The only thing that Mu Yun didn't understand was that only players took the initiative to find opportunities to participate in the event mission according to the clues and plots in the game, but this time, this NPC named Conte took the initiative to find him and issued him a commission task for assassination assistance alone.

Conte's explanation is that because of the disgraceful nature of the assassination, this matter cannot be related to the imperial officials and the army, and can only be assisted by the adventurers of the empire, and among the adventurers, President Mu Yun, who commands the Mu Tianxia Legion and has made repeated contributions on the battlefield, is the best candidate in terms of personal strength and understanding of the beast spirit clan, not to mention that Mu Yun is also a "earl" level assassin of the Dragon Tooth Society, so the Dragon Tooth Society that hired Conte will recommend him to come to Mu Yun as an assistant in this secret assassination operation.

Of course, this kind of statement is not perfect, the most obvious loophole is that Mu Yun's current strength of more than sixty levels is theoretically not qualified as a combat helper in this 120-level assassination of a 110-level transcendent-level powerhouse battle, but after all, Mu Yun is just a player even if he has experienced rebirth, and Mu Yun, who does not understand the truth of the world of "Redemption", considers it from the player's "protagonist's perspective", but he doesn't feel that there is anything unreasonable about this task being sent to him- In the player's opinion, the game system is almost infallible, and since this task has appeared in front of his eyes, it is better to think about how to complete the mission and get the most out of it, rather than thinking about whether it makes sense behind it.

So, temporarily entrusting the guild command to the deputy, Mu Yun and Conte went all the way to the Northland Wasteland, found the location of the high priest according to the information from the imperial military in Mu Yun's hands, and carried out the assassination plan.

The battle between Conte and the High Priest, as Mu Yun expected, was that Conte, a stronger guy, firmly had the upper hand, but he didn't expect that in this level of battle, he actually came in handy, just at the most critical moment of the battle, the Beast Spirit High Priest was lucky enough to control Conte and then when he was about to chant the ultimate, Conte used the method agreed with him in advance to send a signal, and then Mu Yun used the Wind and Thunder Flickering Skill to continuously flicker and instantly came behind the High Priest from a distance that the High Priest couldn't notice, He then used a barrage of skills to interrupt the High Priest's chanting and even provoke his spell backlash.

As a result, not only was he unable to control Conte, but the High Priest was seriously injured because of his own spell backlash, and the High Priest had no choice but to flee in a hurry, but because of the paralysis caused by the injury and magic backlash, the High Priest's speed was completely unable to shake off Conte, and finally after ten minutes of chase, he was killed by Conte on the wasteland.

Mu Yun, who was riding a mount on the ground, was slightly left behind by Conte and the High Priest, who could fly, but because Mu Yun's mount was the best mount he obtained using the game memories of his previous life, he was not really pulled away by the two Conte in terms of speed. After Conte killed the High Priest, Mu Yun was only a little late, and he immediately felt the vicinity of the High Priest's body.

Looking at the corpse of the high priest on the ground, Mu Yun quickly calmed down from the excitement, he wanted to touch the corpse, but after seeing Conte standing next to the corpse, Mu Yun, who had the amazing strength that Conte had shown before, subconsciously dispelled his somewhat stupid thoughts, thinking about the damage he had caused to the high priest was almost minimal, and the final blow did not fall on his hands, The High Priest, who was almost entirely killed by Conte, an NPC, was unlikely to drop any loot that could be obtained by the player.

But even so, after all, the raid he had played a lot of role in the most critical time of the previous battle, and he was the only participant and the only player in this operation besides Conte, thinking of this, Mu Yun was suddenly full of expectations for the reward he would receive from Conte.

"Mr. Conte, has the mission been successful?"

“…… No, the target was just seriously injured. ”

Mu Yun was stunned for a moment.

Uh, serious injuries? Isn't it death?

As soon as Mu Yun wanted to ask, he suddenly found that the corpse of the beast spirit high priest who fell in front of them was suddenly wrapped in a familiar system white light, and the next second it disappeared because of the system's automatic refresh mechanism.

If it is a plot death, then the corpse will not be refreshed and disappear, on the other hand, the corpse of the Beast Spirit High Priest will be refreshed and disappeared, which proves that this kill will not cause the death of the High Priest in the true sense, which can be regarded as confirming Conte's statement that "the target is seriously injured but not dead", but it is just ...... Even if it's the inevitable stiff plot embodiment of the game system, this is a bit too fake, right?

It's not that Mu Yun hasn't encountered similar blunt game performance in "Redemption", but it is clear that after killing people with his own hands in a big battle, he said to the corpse of the person without changing his face, "I just seriously injured him" This is the first time, staring at the grass where the corpse of the high priest was originally lying, Mu Yun instinctively felt a strong sense of disobedience, but before he could straighten out his thoughts, his attention was diverted by Conte.

"In any case, the goal should be that there is no ability to continue to command the beast spirit clan to fight on the spot, maybe soon the beast spirit clan will take the initiative to seek peace talks, although the result of this mission is not perfect, but at least it has become the minimum target, Mr. Mu Yun, while the beast spirit clan has not issued a pursuit warrant, we had better get out of here quickly, by the way, this is the reward for this mission."

Saying this in an unquestionable tone, Conte easily put a shiny fragment into Mu Yun's hand, and at the same time, a prompt appeared in Mu Yun's system interface.

[System Prompt: You have obtained a "Mysterious Gem Fragment"!] 】

Mu Yun habitually wanted to check the task rewards given to him by Conte through the system assistance, but he was surprised to find that the system description attached to this "mysterious gem fragment" was actually a row of "??? Mu Yun, who encountered this strange prop for the first time, didn't notice the strange smile on the corner of Conte's mouth under the hood when he took the fragment.

…… The master's layout in the Strange Domain has reached the final stage, and his plan on the side of the Beast Spirit Clan has also been successful, and the fragment of Godhead has been obtained by outsiders who do not belong to this world, and next, this world will definitely be in real chaos.

Everything will eventually return to the chaos of greatness.
