"I don't wish to die…" Tyrant's voice echoed inside the tunnel. A few metal rats were so startled by the soundthat they crept back into their lairs, not daring to create any more noise.
After shedding tears, Tyrant felt pain in his eyes, his body was aging very swiftly.
"I can only take a risk now," Tyrant took out two corpses from his pouch and laid them before him. These two bodies were naked, they belonged to a male and female and both of them were very young.
Both corpses had average looks, but their body structure was perfect. Even in the eyes of a sorcerer, the proportions of their skeletons were not flawed at all.
Caressing the two corpses, Tyrant felt hesitant. It was perilous for ghosts to occupy the bodies of other beings. Usually, ghosts would not do something like that more than three times. If this limit was exceeded, the ghosts themselves would lose their memory and turn into idiots.
This was the first time he occupied this a body, that meant that the success rate for the second try would only be sixty percent. If it failed, then the body he chose would be deastoyed. Consequently, the success rate for the third try would be forty percent and he would not have the freedom of choice.
The risk of engaging in such affairs was extremely high, it was akin to throwing a dice. A ghost would never do this unless their life was in imminent danger. Tyrant's body had been penetrated by the Life Arrow. Even if he replaced his outer shell, he would not enjoy longevity.
"But it will be good to live for one more day," Tyrant's eyes were brimming with hatred. He did not intend to flee, instead, he was going to remain in the city and wait for another opportunity to conduct another assassination. He had roughly grasped the abilities of the king, "I will definitely succeed the next time."
Tyrant was hesitant, but he still chose the male's body because there were very few women in Daliang City. If he chose the female, it would be inconvenient for him to move about in the city.
A pale green translucent shadow slowly detached from the dwarf's shell, this was the original form of a ghost. Tyrant prostrated atop the man's corpse, slowly seeping in.
If other beings wanted to steal someone else's body, it would be very tedious as a lot of preparation was required. A ghost did not need anything, their bodies were already in a half-soul form and they had the gift of control.
After around two hours, Tyrant had entered the body completely. Lying on the ground, he slowly became accustomed to this brand new body.
This body was a human expert whom Tyrant had poisoned in the past. This human had been a Silver Grand Swordmaster. If it was not for the sturdiness of this body, Tyrant would not have taken two hours to occupy it. Tyrant could seize the souls of normal humans the moment he pounced on them. Nevertheless, this soulless body still tried to reject his presence.
"In at most three days, I can regain half of my strength." Tyrant calculated in his head, then he sat up. Untying the pouch from the dwarf's body, he took out some clothes from it and wore them.
"If my eyes didn't get injured while I was traversing the planes, I would not be in such a terrible state now, fancy attaching myself to this garbage body!"
Tyrant seemed to be void of joy. Ghosts were almost immune to physical attacks, they enjoyed extended lives and possessed powerful mental strength. At the moment, his soul required protection by a physical body in order to be active in the Myers mainland. A simple strong wind could disperse his soul, he would never converge again otherwise.
Tyrant belonged to a species among the ghost race which enjoyed slightly longer lives. Attaching to a physical body would further shorten his lifespan.
Putting away the woman's body, Tyrant exhaled deeply, then he looked for a clean spot to sit down. He had to wait, he could only return to the surface after recovering his strength.
"To kill the king, that elf has to be terminated first. No matter how powerful the king's abilities are, he cannot kill me in one hit. If that elf fires another arrow at me, I am definitely doomed. The city is still recruiting soldiers to attack the Cloudflow people, I can infiltrate Saleen's army and wait for an opportune time. If only this wasn't the main plane. Back on the subcontinental plane, I could kill the demonic race at will, devouring their souls to recover from my wounds. On the subcontinental plane, the mighty Holy See is absent and horrifying places like Alchemy City are absent too." On this plane, he could only act as an assassin, seeking shelter from nobles as he sought out his targets.
The professionals' union would give rewards for the people he killed, no one would notice that these people were dead.
When Saleen was led to the palace, the first thing he did was to describe the appearance of the assassin to Lex. Hearing this information, Lex locked her brows in a furrow.
"Do you recognize this assassin?" Saleen had a great understanding of Lex, he could guess her thoughts just by looking at her face.
"Of course, you cannot pursue this matter anymore. I will put the city on lockdown. Since the assassin is severely wounded, he won't be able to flee. Just kill him, then forget about this matter," Lex answered in an upset tone. Of course she could guess who sent this assassin, but she could not fly into a rage. "The Cloudflow people are right behind us, can I still create trouble for Antos? I am afraid Antos may have more than one-hundred-thousand troops with him."
Saleen immediately understood the situation, "Other than the Holy See, the only other person who can send an assassin to kill me will be Marquis Antos who lost a few thousand soldiers to me." He did not understand why Lex was suppressing her anger, she did not even mention negotiating with Holy Rock City.
"Saleen…"
"Yes?"
"Aye, I shall tell you something. When you left the borders, Earl Besta reported that he was attacked by headless riders."
"Headless riders?" Saleen's eyebrows immediately shot upwards. At the moment, headless riders were insignificant in his eyes, even if there were other enemies present to team up against him, he could kill a few hundred of them. The existence of headless riders meant that black magicians were still active in this region. An astronomical number of black puppets posed a large threat to human armies. If the black magicians cooperated with the Cloudflow army to attack Daliang City, Saleen would be in a bad spot.
"The soldiers withdrawn by Antos were found dead in the middle of the wilderness, none of them returned. He thought that you had slaughtered all of them because you had done something like this back in Metatrin. None of the Holy See's expeditionary soldiers made it back."
"I have kept more than a thousand prisoners!"
"I know, those people were killed by the Dark Sky Devil."
A boom sounded in Saleen's mind. Being a mage, he would of course understand what the Dark Sky Devil symbolized.
"But don't worry, there are two experts pursuing the Dark Sky Devil. That monster might have sustained serious injury when it was revived, otherwise…"
"Have you informed Holy Rock City about this?"
"Of course, otherwise Antos wouldn't have kept quiet. He is worried that the Dark Sky Devil will intrude his lands."
"Chased by two human experts… are those two people mages?"
"I don't know, those two people used an instantaneous skill outside the town to kill those two-thousand headless riders. They might be holy masters…"
"Does it look like it? Did they use glorious divine spells?" Saleen was also extremely nervous.
"No, but it isn't a good thing either." Lex kept sighing, the incidence of this event had exceeded the area she could control. "The Dark Sky Devil has resurrected, if it wasn't for the two humans pursuing it, Loulan would have been bathed in blood already. Those two people chasing the Dark Sky Devil are obviously not mages. If they belong to the Holy See, this battle will be hopeless. People who possess the ability to pursue the Dark Sky Devil have to be experts above grade-10. Holy Rock City only has one person like this, which is Joey. The Holy See can deploy two experts in one go and I don't even know their identities. The Tanggulasi Empire actually has three people who are at grade-10. How should the war go on? We can only pose a threat to these experts if mages from the Alchemy City swarm out. Alchemy City will most likely shut their doors and take care of themselves right?"
It was no wonder then that Lex and Saleen would allow their thoughts to run wild. The Goddess of Myers had fallen such a long time ago, no one would expect two of her envoys to remain alive.
"Before the Dark Sky Devil is killed, I will take it this matter has never happened before." Clenching his teeth, Saleen dismissed the notion of killing Antos. "I will vie for the mainland in the future, I will deal with this Antos sooner or later."
Lex smiled forcefully, "Saleen is indeed different now, he can make such a decision is just a few breaths." Be that as it may, both of them had to face Cloudflow now. Despite giving up on Antos, the situation had not really brightened up.
"Lex, I can defend the Bone Castle. Cloudflow is going to build a city, what should we do?" Saleen quickly set aside the problem of Antos as he sought advice from Lex.
"It will be very tedious. Saleen, how long will you need to deploy one more fleet of skeletal warships?"
Saleen laughed bitterly, "I have spent almost all of my money already, I even brought along the pan's turtle alchemical boat. Currently, Metatrin City is left with the dragon skeleton warship to hold the fort. The dragon skeleton warship cannot be dismantled, otherwise…"
"How many skeletal warships can the winged skeleton produce?"
"Lex, even if you give me Holy Rock City's treasury, I cannot produce the warships. The winged skeleton took around one year to produce the warships. Can you afford to wait? My warships are inferior to that of Cloudflow's. They can use the main warships to slowly transport the troops. Since the pan's turtle alchemical boat ambushed them once, it will be difficult to do it again. It is only a matter of time before they transport their army over."
Lex and Saleen looked at each other as though they had returned to the days in the hell of the God's Punishment. A sense of helplessness diffused throughout the room. At this moment Saleen realized that the seemingly omnipotent Lex also had her frustrations.
"What did Holy Rock City say?" Saleen was helpless, he was still trying to solve the problem from a political angle. "What is the real reason why the Cloudflow people are here in the Bitter Water County? Is it really to marry Lex?"
"The prince said that since I have established a county, he has no influence over my marriage," Lex answered flatly.
Saleen's eyes lit up. Tugging at Lex's sleeves, he asked, "Lex, are those Safilos' words?"
Lex's face turned scarlet. She did not shake Saleen's hand away, and replied "He said that, word for word."
"Lex, let's get married!" Saleen's words stunned Lex.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
