Chapter 1083: Chapter 146 Lifeladder Tree (7000)_4
But who would have thought, this supersonic assassin’s arrow couldn’t even pierce the target’s skin? Master Gravie’s strength far exceeds expectations!
——Damn it, our intelligence has always been inaccurate! The assassins couldn’t help but feel some frustration.
But it’s not a big problem; he still has a chance!
“Going straight for the kill? It seems like it’s the council over there.” At this moment, Master Gravie’s body slowly began to turn around, activating the spirit energy jewelry on him. Faintly visible, a layer of emerald green light encompassed him entirely, followed by an oval-shaped diamond grid shield.
With the power of the Life Tree, Gravie’s body’s strength far surpasses that of a typical Second Energy Level, but because of this, his body’s flexibility is greatly reduced, moving as slowly as a true tree.
Facing the assassins from Canaan Moore’s council, he wasn’t worried, just somewhat perplexed: “Three Sea Beast Kings attacked, and they also want to kill me? It seems the council truly doesn’t want me back… Probably because the research faction my teacher belongs to failed, and the victor doesn’t want me to return to power and rally my forces again.”
In a one-on-one scenario with council assassins, Gravie was quite confident. Although his Follower Clan body hadn’t fully transformed yet, in terms of toughness, it was already considered a top-tier defense-infused inheritance, taking considerable effort for even standard Third Energy Levels to break through. It could definitely hold out until the protective knights aboard the Siren took notice.
But quickly, both he and the council assassin’s expressions changed.
Because from the other side, accompanied by an invisible gale hitting the storage chamber wall like a giant hammer, a tall and imposing man smashed through the wall, charging with a long axe in hand.
This man clearly rushed over in such haste that he hadn’t noticed Gravie’s brief skirmish with the council assassin earlier. Thus, upon entering the storage chamber, he was momentarily dumbfounded, not understanding why there were others besides his target present.
——Azure Sky Royal Court’s Gale Charge!
Master Gravie wasn’t well-versed in Sublimation War Skill, but the council assassin’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. The other was obviously an assassin spy from the Azure Sky Royal Court, with the target likely being Master Gravie as well.
On the surface, they seemed to have a common goal, suggesting they might team up to kill their mutual target… but how was that possible? Now that they knew each other’s true nature, their relationship was one of mutual destruction!
The man also realized this, and his gaze turned stern.
But before the three present could calm down and face off, the ceiling of storage chamber 17 suddenly began to shake intensely, silently melting under high heat, as a faceless figure covered in pale blue spiritual fire descended with an extremely sharp momentum.
But midway down, a wave of confusion and fright transmitted mentally, as this Imperial Spirit Knowledge Institute assassin abruptly turned mid-air and leaped to the other side of the storage chamber—looking at the three gazes fixed upon him with shock and bewilderment, completely confused by the current situation.
——What’s going on, is there a conference of assassin spies?
Instantly, an eerie silence engulfed the entire storage chamber. The Siren’s crew were preparing at battle stations to face the impending Sea Beast raid, while most of the protective knights had gathered around the banquet hall to protect important nobles and officials.
This was the most dangerous and yet safest moment, so all four present tacitly took action, converging around this secretive storage chamber.
“I didn’t expect so many people to want to kill me.”
Facing three assassins each possessing unique skills, even with Master Gravie’s confidence, he was now breaking into a cold sweat, especially the one from the Spirit Knowledge Institute, whose spiritual fire contradicted his transforming Divine Wood Family Body, clearly aware of part of his plan.
Gravie had thought the Spirit Knowledge Institute would at most destroy the pile of research manuscripts left in his room but didn’t expect them to want him dead!
This was indeed a misunderstanding—this Spirit Knowledge Institute assassin simply thought Gravie had kept more secret manuscripts elsewhere, so planned to follow and check the situation… Who knew such a small storage room would host so many people, making it difficult for him to comprehend.
Confronted by each other, a mix of danger and awkwardness loomed in the air as they all tensely stared at one another, afraid to speak or move, lest they revealed any flaws.
Several minutes passed; ten minutes passed, yet they remained motionless, displaying exceptional composure. For various reasons, the Siren’s crew didn’t detect anything amiss there.
Everyone exhibited remarkable patience; as long as no one approached, they absolutely wouldn’t be the first to act, showing any flaws. Ten minutes merely seemed to blink for these expertly trained assassins.
——Enough already?
Instead, Master Gravie inwardly began to shout angrily; he was old, his concentration long difficult to maintain, not to mention as a researcher, although he possessed patience for lengthy experiments, he severely lacked patience for such scenarios.
——Enough already? My time is precious!
Another researcher’s mind flashed with the same thought.
So… the next moment.
A gust of cold wind arose, a silver gleam with thunder tore through the darkness.
The Azure Sky Royal Court assassin suddenly felt a profoundly icy power sweep in from behind, an extreme numbness and cold instantaneously spreading through his entire back, followed by the stabbing pain of a blade stirring his innards, causing him to stagger forward, collapsing onto the ground.
No longer able to rise.
The Canaan Moore council assassin was slightly stunned, reacting the quickest to see that thunderous silver sword light piercing through the man’s chest and abdomen, gracefully slicing open his ribcage and flesh, then shifting horizontally towards his neck.
He raised his assassination dagger, trying to block this strike, but it was far too slow. In the brief moment the assassin stood there stunned, he saw his severed sword, his body, and his smoothly cut neck.
The Spirit Knowledge Institute assassin turned to flee. Though completely unsure what had transpired, an instinctive crisis screamed at him to leave immediately, a overwhelmingly strong sense of impending doom making him want to vomit… but before that happened, a bolt of lightning caught up with him.
In that instant, the head of the Spirit Energy User engulfed in spiritual fire truly began to burn, a glaring blue-white flame jetting from his mouth, nose, and ears, accompanied by bright cyan arcs.
“Who?!”
Master Gravie only felt a flash, the three who had been confronting him fell, but quickly he saw a white, strong fist seemingly carved from white jade.
Then came concussion, dizziness, and an uncontainable sense of bewilderment and self-doubt.
Master Gravie fainted.
