Chapter 240: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Some people need to live to contribute, others differently. Greila is a prime example of this.
The mark left by Grela did not disappear because of her death, and the struggle in Melia's eyes was seen by Sindora, but even her will was as strong as steel could not resist the power of the mark, and the struggle was only temporary and useless, and Sindora patted Melia's head soothingly, and her other hand gently covered her eyes.
"Well, it's time to work. β
In her soft voice, Melia slowly closed her eyes and nodded imperceptibly.
Sindora let go of her arms holding Grayla, who put away her long whip and walked slowly in the direction of the imperial capital with her head down, like a ** vertical puppet.
"It's time for us to work, too. Sindora smiled and reminded the researchers.
Not only Melia, but Grayla's mark has long spread to all parts of the continent, and the great nobles of various kingdoms are willing to serve the Chaos Cult for various reasons, and every time she thinks of the upheaval that may occur when the Sith plan is implemented, Cyndora can hardly hide the excitement in her heart. Although Greela died in the imperial capital because of her willfulness, the wealth she left behind was priceless, not to mention ......
She would not allow such an excellent cadre to abandon her mission early.
"While you set up the last crystal, I'll go and get that little girl's body out...... Don't look at me like that, make the most of it. You are the same, and if any of you are unfortunate enough to be killed before draining all inspiration, I will also try to snatch you back from the arms of death. β
The researchers looked at each other.
No one thought that Sindora was joking, this woman had always done what she said, and even if it was the fantasy idea of snatching people from death, she had a way to make it happen.
Everyone walked along the corridor for a while, and the bonfire left by Lin Qiu and the others was still here. Sindora snapped her fingers, and black flames illuminated the words on the wallβdensely packed with words that were the goddess hymns that Phoenix had spoken of.
Sindora read it word for word.
Gentle voices and strange pronunciations echoed through the corridors, and Rao, the learned researcher, had no way of knowing what Sindora was reading, staring at the words on the wall as if they were miraculous. With each sentence Cyndora spoke, the words brightened up a paragraph, and a roar ensued as a slightly blinding light filled the walls.
Behind the halo an arch appears, and behind the arch is a staircase that leads to the lower level.
"Go ahead. β
After everyone was gone, she took out a sparkling crystal.
"Mistress Sindora, plans have changed. β
From the other side of the crystal came the rapid sound of a crow assassin.
......
At the same time, Sophia's dormitory.
The fire net sealed the door and walls of the dormitory, and the circulating flames formed a sphere that surrounded Sophia, Ella, and the others in the center. The people in the fireball had no intention of complaining about the scorching heat around them, and they were attentive to the Assassins who could appear everywhere - the fact that what had just happened frightened them, they saw a man in black burned by the flames of Phoenix, but it was not long before his carbonized limbs writhed strangely, and his broken legs dragged his charred body towards the unconscious Sophia.
Monsters that can't be killed.
Ella felt like she was going to have a psychological shadow.
The assassins are also psychologically shadowed by the Black Crows - the red-haired woman blocking the door is a real monster! The assassin pursues a one-hit kill all his life, but the other party is indeed an existence that is absolutely impossible to be killed by a single blow, and what is even more terrifying is that she has even omitted the step of regeneration.
When the chains they pulled down pierced Phoenix's white neck, her beautiful and proud neck did not fall to the ground as they expected, and the only notches in the chains were magma enough to incinerate everything. The lava burned the chains, and the flames seemed to be brought to life, coming after them with lightning speed.
Those who are caught up by the flames are burned to char in an instant.
It would take a long time for the burns of this magnitude to regenerate, and to make matters worse, they couldn't think of any effective countermeasures - if they couldn't get rid of Phoenix, they wouldn't be able to pass through that fireball and go straight to Princess Sophia's head.
In desperation, they had to turn to Lord Cyndora for help.
"Oh, I almost forgot. A crow assassin hid in the column, and after a long time, Sindora's voice came from the other side of the crystal: "That is indeed a tricky enemy, you can't deal with her with your strength, this arrogant monster should be dealt with by a monster expert like Eric." β
"But Eric Moussa is not here. β
"Arrogant, arbitrary, and reckless, he took advantage of her weakness and led her to the exhibition hall - where Eric should be by now. Melia is on her way there, making sure to get rid of this trouble before she happens. β
The light of the crystal was extinguished.
The Crow Assassin's gaze became determined.
"Phoenix, that's your name, right?"
The sound coming from the shadows made Phoenix froze slightly.
The taciturn Assassins spoke, and knew her name.
The sound was accompanied by several silver needles, and Phoenix was not even in the mood to hide from this level of attack, and the silver needles sank into her fiery red clothes, and were finally turned into steam by the scorching temperature in her body. The Crow Assassin took a deep breath and said defiantly: "Phoenix, you can't protect everyone, even those who are surrounded by you in the ring of fire will eventually die!"
"If you can do it, just give it a try. β
Phoenix snorted coldly and kicked the charred "corpse" at his feet at the other side.
The "corpse" was still trembling slightly, with occasional slight breathing.
The Rook Assassin didn't stay on his companion for long, and after a few moments, he was able to regenerate and get back on his feet.
"But I'm going to tell you the good news, it's a win-win situation for us. β
He was greeted by two sparks, and he hurriedly ducked his body into the ground, and the two sparks pierced through several stone pillars behind him, and the porch finally collapsed with a bang.
"The Musa Consortium doesn't pay us an enemy like you, but you should have figured out one thing anyway - no matter how many times you kill us, the assassination will go on forever, and there is only one way to stop it. β
"As long as you die honestly. β
"We're going to make a bet with you. β
This time, Phoenix didn't just choke back.
"Eric Moussa is the only one who can put an end to this assassination, but on the other hand, he has the power to fight all monsters, whether to make him take back the order before we take off Princess Sophia's head, or to submit to his power...... You only get one chance. β
