"Don't call me master, you're not qualified." The assassin captain finished treating Dylan's last wound and took out his first-aid medicine to apply it to him.
"Elsie is in the plaza, it's very dangerous..." Dylan said weakly.
The assassin captain stood up, looked down at Dylan, and silently walked towards the plaza.
Edith placed her hand on her chest and bowed to the assassin captain: "Elder Yagenan!"
“Take him to the Oga Forest, we’ll meet up later.” After saying this to Edith, Jacoban stopped and drew his hidden blade, continuing towards the plaza.
...
"The streets are being cleared!"
"Squad assassination mission complete!"
In the chaotic streets, people were fleeing frantically, and some knights in sanctuary armor were approaching the square.
But before he could get far, an assassin hidden among the crowd drew his hidden blade and slit his throat, before disappearing back into the crowd.
"Pay attention to the location and clear the streets from which evacuation is being carried out!"
An assassin leaped from the roof beam and killed a lone Templar Swordsman.
...
In the city square, ruins and smoke continued, and the angels were surprised that their carefully prepared attack was easily thwarted.
Andersen once again gathered the Earth Spear, and Plato prepared for a second attack.
"Wait, it seems like outsiders have arrived." Plato looked behind him.
An assassin dressed in black, who looked old, walked slowly with a calm gaze, and was all alone.
“An assassin from the Sia family,” Plato said, looking at the family crest on the other man’s waist.
"And his rank is not low." It was rare for Andersen to show such respect for an outsider.
The female angels also began to notice this old assassin who had barged into the battlefield. He did not choose to launch a sneak attack; if he had, he would have been able to kill at least one paladin instantly!
Was it intentional? Or was it with accomplices?
Yunmeng looked around but couldn't find the lurking assassins. These monsters who specialized in this profession were simply incomprehensible!
“A top-tier assassin at level 119…” Plato frowned. “Not a legend, but better than a legend. This is troublesome.”
“There’s another piece of bad news…” Andersen said, “It seems that we are the only paladins left alive.”
"!" Plato looked at Andersen, realizing that this was a perception ability that Plato had acquired after transmigrating.
In other words! Are all their companions dead?
The angels in the sky were also furious, for their target was being killed, and they didn't even have time to provide support!
"Hey! Old man!" Plato stared at Jacoban: "Do you know who you're going against?"
However, Yagenan did not answer him. He noticed and dodged the thorny vines that suddenly sprang out behind him!
"Death Revelation! Disgusting skill!" Plato blamed the skill's uniqueness for his failed sneak attack.
"Plato, finish him off! Angels, come with me to hold off Elsie!" Andersen once again threw the Holy Judgment Spear at Elsie.
Yagenan glanced at Elsie, who had the same red eyes as him, in the distance. Her silver hair reminded him of Wen'ersha.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile: "It's great to be fighting side by side again."
The dagger blocked the sharp rocks flying from his side, and his figure rapidly approached Plato like multiple phantoms.
Plato promptly summoned his armor to block the thrusts and used wind magic to create distance.
A terrifying assassin, completely different from the novice assassins encountered on the battlefield!
The Accord South is faster! And more experienced!
Even when using miracles from the holy scriptures, he can subconsciously make the most advantageous offensive choice!
“Bernali…” Plato watched the other’s movements and assassination techniques, which reminded him of the legendary assassin in the kingdom.
Also, in the open, he is a living legend on the mainland!
Plato had personally witnessed that man, before he was even an adult, slaughter his way through the entire Demon King's army and enter the Demon King's castle alone!
Unfortunately, he gave up the chance to enter the Demon King's castle and instead gave the opportunity to these later paladins.
He returned to the kingdom, and the king wanted to bestow upon him the medal of a legendary assassin, and to have the sanctuary inscribe his soul mark upon him so he could ascend to heaven.
But he refused, saying that he had failed to kill the Demon King and was not worthy of being called a legend, but merely a master assassin traveling the world.
“Bernary, that freak?” Jacoban gave a disdainful smile.
"What a pity. If he had known how weak the Demon King was, no, perhaps the moment he had the courage to push open the castle gates, he would have had the chance to become a true legend," Plato lamented.
The fruits of victory will naturally belong to the Holy Temple!
After all, they were the ones who ultimately killed the Demon King!
As for the process... who cares about the process?
"..." Plato's attacks were all anticipated and countered by his opponent, which further confirmed his idea.
"The Sia family really are all vampires..." Plato finally understood why the other party was so incredibly strong.
The lifespan of vampires is unpredictable; at least the oldest vampire recorded in the Sanctuary was 1400 years old, and he was burned to death in public by the sacred fire.
There are no further publications.
Therefore, this assassin is also an elder, perhaps even an elder who may have existed during the era of the hero!
He may have spent his entire life carrying out assassinations, so he's probably already familiar with magic-based combat like this.
Besides, he was just a priest, and his other spells were only cast using miracles!
"If only I could cast instant spells too." Plato kept firing one shot and then moving to a different position. He could tell that Jacoban was consuming his magic and stamina.
His physical strength was the first thing he exhausted, and he ultimately could not escape being killed!
Why isn't Andersen's story over yet?
His gaze swept toward Elsie's location, only to find the angels battling a monster!
...
"How disgusting!" Andersen watched helplessly as his thrown heavy spear was blocked once again!
She has taken control of her attack rhythm, and now she is the one becoming passive!
Angels also descended to the earth to offer assistance, their chanting of blessings saving him from being instantly killed by the astonishing sword energy.
The angel's longsword danced through Elsie's hair as she calmly constructed a water elemental twisted holy light attack.
"It's a bit of a shame that this light can only harm me." El hoped that the holy light would have no effect on the angels and Andersen.
Amidst the smoke and fire in the square, a figure slowly walks towards them...
Hans Christian Andersen looked behind him, his face filled with surprise!
"Chitatu! You're still alive! We've come at the perfect time—"
The longsword pierced Andersen's chest, and only then did Andersen see the other person's face clearly!
"You...you are..."
...
Inside Mirror Lake City, Pope Paul closed the holy book, his brow furrowed.
"An unexpected ending."
Child of Blood
