Chapter 290: Chapter 165 The First Skirmish Between the Two Camps_2

"If the assassination is successful, we might just secure this mission," he chuckled.

"Don’t get cocky," the Princess glared at him and said, "Necromancers are the most skilled at assassination, infiltration, and concealment among Beast Trainers. Though Reaper doesn’t deal in the business of assassination, even The First Assassin Organization wouldn’t dare to offend them, and the members of the Necromancy Cult are even more dangerous."

"I got it, just creating a bit of chaos will suffice," said the Sunlight Knight.

"This..." At this moment, a slender young man from Southeast Asia, working as a Breeder, said, "Elder Knight, it might be too dangerous for you to go alone."

"Reaper has been quite active on our side before, and the abilities of Necromancers are really tricky. I have witnessed their battles on several occasions."

"Don’t worry!" The tall Sunlight Knight laughed, "Don’t you know my profile?"

"Hmm?" The young man from Southeast Asia knew that the Light Knight Corps was formidable but was truly unaware of the other party’s data.

At this time, a young man from Latin America coughed and said, "Big Brother Sunlight Knight, you have a high-ranking Dominator Species Light Sparrow, and also, a high-ranking Dominator Species Spatial Pet Beast.

"Ah that." With those words, the Beast Trainer from Southeast Asia fell silent. Light Attribute, Space Attribute... Well, alright, the Golden Generation is indeed golden."

Apart from the strongest Princess of Light, each of the other three knights, if taken separately, were also incredibly strong.

With such an arrangement, infiltrating the headquarters of the Necromancy Cult shouldn’t pose any problem; with a bit of luck, they might even assassinate some key figures. Even if discovered, escaping with the aid of Light Attribute Pets and Spatial Pet Beast would be a breeze.

In that moment, the young man from Southeast Asia suddenly felt that even without the assistance of the Imperial Army, just relying on these four bigwigs from the Light Knight Corps, they could easily lead them to clear the level, albeit with a bit more trouble... what’s this, if not winning by lying down!

Choosing the Imperial Faction... truly the right choice. Indeed, choice is everything.

...

The next day.

The Sunlight Knight embarked on the action alone, infiltrating Midwood City.

On his shoulder lay a white mouse; when they stuck close together, their figures were nearly invisible, making them hard to detect.

For a normal Beast Trainer, a level 2 Necromancer would certainly be a handful, but for the Light Knight Corps, it wasn’t a big deal, especially since they didn’t have an Undead King.

"This should be the City Lord’s Mansion," panted the Sunlight Knight, feeling a bit nervous.

According to the intelligence, the Necromancy Cult had taken over the City Lord’s Mansion, which would likely be their headquarters. To cause some commotion, this place was certainly the right choice.

He kept moving inward stealthily when suddenly, a "cackle cackle cackle" of laughter reached his ears, causing his eyebrows to furrow.

The Sunlight Knight lightly jumped onto the rooftop and looked toward a certain courtyard.

He saw that within a yard, the bodies of Giant Rat Beasts were laid out, and there stood a huge barbecue grill.

Atop the grill were Mouse Spirits, with different colored smoke wafting beneath them.

"Damn, spooky," the Sunlight Knight, seeing a Necromancer in person for the first time, was more shocked than he had ever been from just hearing about them.

"!!!" His Spatial Hamster’s eyes widened too, its little paws covering its mouth.

Hell indeed!

At that moment, the Sunlight Knight looked at the two men in black robes standing near the grill and a Fox Spirit, and thought, "Ridiculous, it’s just you guys now."

"To be able to grill souls so leisurely inside the City Lord’s Mansion, you must be of high status. Killing you ought to be enough to cause a major commotion."

Meanwhile.

The ones performing the soul-grilling were naturally Lu Ran and Black Feather.

At Lu Ran’s request, Black Feather brought quite a few seasonings as directed.

Lu Ran once again experimented with smoked cooking.

In the process of experimenting, Lu Ran realized that he indeed was a genius, inadvertently letting out a "cackle cackle cackle" of laughter.

Watching the flames, he again had a new idea.

Emperor Yan Sizhen’s developed Flame Spirit could absorb different flames for growth, greatly adaptable.

Ordinary flames were not suitable for grilling souls, but what about Soul Fire?

Lu Ran had a sudden inspiration — if Fire Attribute Pet Beasts died, they were highly likely to become Fire Attribute undead, and their ghostly flames contained Soul Power.

If he could turn a Flame Spirit into Soul Fire, just like the dragon-shaped flames, could he then use the Soul Fire to further comprehend the Soul Cooking Intent?

His Superpower, Psychic Sensing, was an application of Soul Power. He combined it with Super Beast Mimicry to create Reverse Beast Mimicry, so was there a chance to combine Psychic Sensing with Flame Spirit techniques to develop a Mind Flame?

Thereupon, Lu Ran had a new research direction.

"King of Sudden Death... you..." At that moment, Black Feather, who was waiting to taste the food, saw Lu Ran suddenly burst into a strange laugh and shivered; a night had passed, and Lu Ran seemed to have become even more terrifying.

However,

Before Black Feather could ask about Lu Ran’s "condition," Lu Ran’s expression suddenly turned ferocious. With the keen perception of a ferocious beast, he sensed a hint of hostile intent.

"[This guy is a devil, just hit it!]" The psychic waves of the Spatial Pet Beast were clearly captured by Lu Ran.

"Who’s there?" Lu Ran looked in the direction of the rooftop.

This call from Lu Ran was enough to scare the Sunlight Knight, who was just about to make a move, into wetting himself.

"Damn." He had not expected that the Necromancer’s senses were so acute; even his spatial concealment technique, combined with optical stealth and equipment that eliminated his presence and lowered his detectability, a triple stealth strategy, was perceived???

The Princess was right, one should never underestimate these Necromancers; they truly were the ancestors of assassination.

"In that case..." Since he had been discovered, the Sunlight Knight no longer hid, yet before he could react, a sword light as if breaking through the darkness at dawn shot straight toward him.

The terrifying power made the air scream, with the current swirling madly. In an instant, the Sunlight Knight sensed a deadly danger, feeling even more terrified than when he had challenged the Legendary Secret Realm.

Boom!

The Sunlight Knight was startled.

His pupils shrank.

He would die.

Although he didn’t understand what was happening, in that brief moment, the Sunlight Knight reacted as fast as he could, virtualizing both his and the Space Mouse’s forms.

Whoosh!

The Longleaf Sword Grass passed through the Sunlight Knight’s thigh as if it had struck the air.

At the same time, although his body had virtualized, the Sunlight Knight let out a dreadful scream as the Sword Grass passed through his virtual form.

What kind of thing could still harm him through a dimension? The Sunlight Knight shouted, "Run, teleport!!"

"Run fast!!"

At that moment, the Sunlight Knight was terrified out of his wits. Before leaving, he saw what that thing was... just a blade of grass.

In the next instant, the Sword Grass returned to where it had come from, but the figure of the Sunlight Knight had already vanished from the spot.

The change on the rooftop left Black Feather with a drastically altered complexion, not understanding what had just happened.

Enemy?

What exactly was that technique?

Space attribute?

However, what shocked her more was the flying Sword Grass.

"Woof." At the same time, Mr. Husky, who had been lying beneath the house, also came out, holding the returning Sword Grass in his mouth, his gaze serious as he looked towards where the enemy had disappeared.

"Damn." Black Feather saw Mr. Husky holding the Sword Grass, her expression stunned.

A dog holding grass?

"Haha, I see." At this point, Lu Ran had quickly figured out what had happened.

"Incredible," thought Lu Ran. The person just now must have been a trialist who chose the Imperial Faction.

To have a Spatial Pet Beast and attempt to hold on to the foe was indeed challenging, but what Lu Ran did not expect was how powerful the Sword Grass was, able to slightly damage an enemy in a virtualized spatial state. Indeed, it was a Ferocious Plant special to the Innate King Species.

"Miss Black Feather, please inform Missionary Gao Li that we were just targeted by a skilled Space attribute assassin. I suspect it’s a Beast Trainer from the Empire. Tell him to prepare for protection," said Lu Ran, looking at the bewildered Black Feather.

...

Meanwhile,

The Sunlight Knight and the Space Mouse were making continuous space jumps. After the Space Mouse ran out of stamina, the Sunlight Knight summoned the Sunlight Sparrow and took off as a streak of light.

On the Sunlight Sparrow’s back, the Sunlight Knight looked at his calf, now swollen, red, and painful as if scored by countless blades, and was filled with dread. What kind of attack was that?

"Impossible, how could that attack affect me in a virtualized state?"

"Who is it? Isn’t the opponent supposed to be a Necromancer? Why would there be such a powerful Grass Attribute Pet Beast lurking in the shadows?" That technique of hurting with flying leaves was outrageous! It had to be a Monarch Species Grass Attribute Pet Beast!
