There were too many men of sacrifice in this world because of the cheapness of life. There were many people who worked for nobles for a meal, and they even called it bravery and fairness.
Assassins were not necessarily men of sacrifice, but men of sacrifice were definitely assassins. Because men of sacrifice were not honorable. The fairness they talked about had nothing to do with the magician's principle of equivalent exchange.
Men of sacrifice on the battlefield, that was for victory and glory.
Triss looked up at the sky and thought of the word "men of sacrifice". There were no men of sacrifice among demons, and demons also wanted to live for a long time. Even if it was humbling and painful, they wanted to live.
In the Demonic Plane, the minions and little demons had lived like this for millions of years. Under the pursuit of the great demons and demons, they lived a precarious life.
Life was the most precious. No matter what, it should not be sacrificed easily.
Of course, Neris's oppression was an exception! Triss couldn't help but add a thought, for fear that his thoughts would be noticed by Neris who was thousands of miles away.
A faint footprint appeared on the steps, almost imperceptible in the shadow of the clouds. Triss knew that this was the assassin's most cautious test. As long as this step was not discovered, then sneaking into the palace was almost certain to succeed. In front of him was the pillar, more shadows allowed the assassin to easily disappear from people's sight.
Triss turned sideways, revealing the long whip in his hand. With a half-turn, his waist erupted with a powerful force, and the long whip stabbed out.
With a poof, the tip of the whip smoothly stabbed into the assassin's back. The invisibility effect disappeared, and an assassin wearing leather armor appeared. Triss's long whip penetrated his heart. This time, it was as fast as lightning.
Such an easy success made Triss even stunned for a moment. In less than half a second of absent-mindedness, in Triss's shadow, a sword light had already lit up.
Poof!
With the same dull sound, a short sword more than half a meter long accurately flew up and pierced into Trish's chest.
Triss felt paralyzed all over his body. Then, the assassin in the shadow wrapped the steel wire in his hand around Triss's leg, tightened it, and tied a dead knot, putting Triss's legs together. The steel wire was extremely tough and covered with poisonous thorns. The hollow steel wire even provided a paralyzing venom.
The assassin cautiously went behind Trish and stabbed two metal needles into his knees. Trish finally fell to the ground. The assassin turned around and pulled out his dagger from Trish's chest.
He saw the fear in the demon's eyes and slowly thrust the dagger down. He had to kill this demon first. His venom might not be able to control a powerful demon.
Inside the bedroom, Salin's Water Pattern Shield was filled with Restoration Water. Salin and Rex were immersed in the water. Rex had the ability to breathe underwater, while Salin could obtain air directly from the water. He could also breathe through his skin.
This wasn't a particularly powerful ability. What was different about Salin was that he could survive in the water almost indefinitely. There was no time limit.
The two of them swam in the water, completely relying on elemental perception to distinguish each other's subtle movements. Salin was condensing the Restoration Water and helping Rex recover from his fatigue at the same time. This fatigue was accumulated in the past half a year. Unknowingly, his body, which was completely supported by magic power, had already been slightly damaged.
Salin quickly condensed the Restoration Water into more than 20 water droplets. These water droplets were denser than metals. He threw them into the Demon God Ring and hugged Rex again.
"Trish, who do you think will come to deal with us? Now." Although Salin had recovered his energy, he still wanted to chat with Rex.
"People from the Vatican." In the darkness, Rex didn't forget to touch Salin, wanting him to continue.
"I thought it was Yun Liu. There aren't many powerful people among the Tanggulas Empire's envoys. At most, they are level-six professionals. I can deal with them alone."
"We don't have hatred with Yun Liu, but we do with the Vatican. You subdued Nicholas. Do you think the Vatican hates you to the extreme?"
"Yes, the Vatican doesn't tolerate betrayal."
"Don't worry. Trish and Gusin are already level-eight experts. There's still the Dragon Slayer Army surrounding the palace." Rex poked Salin's chest and said, "You don't want me anymore?"
"I'm afraid you'll be tired."
"I'm not tired. I just rested well."
Outside the walls of the palace, the 1,000 soldiers of the Dragon Slayer Army all stood blankly, their eyes lifeless. The smell of grass still floated in the air, but it was slightly hotter. It constantly sent anesthetic gas into the soldiers' lungs.
In the two courtyards where the 1,000 soldiers were, there was a person standing in the middle of the soldiers, holding a book of the Vatican's code of law. Their divine spells didn't glow, and there was no sign of life in their eyes. Everything was sacrificed to the gods, just to provide the assassin with a single chance to assassinate him.
The anesthetic was harder to defend against than the poison used to kill. This wasn't a negative attack. This gas was originally used by mages to heal the wounded. Releasing this gas wouldn't cause any reaction from the magic formation.
The assassin outside the palace stabbed his sword at Trish's eye socket. The fear in her eyes disappeared. In the sky, an arrow shot down.
This arrow was too fast to be dodged. Assassins almost didn't have any defensive skills. Even an ordinary iron arrow would kill the assassin on the spot if he didn't have any equipment to block it.
The dark red arrow passed through the assassin's body, from head to toe, and shot into Trish's thigh. The assassin turned into green smoke and appeared at the entrance of the palace. The shadow that was shot collapsed.
This was a substitute equipment. If Eleanor hadn't been afraid of killing Trish, it might not have been effective.
Instant reaction equipment couldn't be faster than a real spatial arrow.
The assassin dodged the first arrow and was about to rush into the palace to avoid the attack from the sky, when the second arrow arrived. This time, Eleanor used the real Seven Nights equipment. The assassin's head exploded from the powerful impact of the arrowhead. The most terrifying thing about these two assassins was that one of them could transfer all the breath of life to the other. When the leading assassin was attacked, the real killer move would be revealed.
Unfortunately, all of this was useless against the elves' archery skills.
In the sky, Eileen shot two arrows in a row, saving Trish from danger. Suddenly, an invisible force tore open a crack in the full moon above their heads, and a huge shadow pressed down. Eileen and the water puppet hid very well in the clouds, but they were still discovered. The energy waves from the two arrows were too strong. No matter what, they couldn't completely destroy them.
At least, Eleanor couldn't. She was only a level-6 elf.
A four-meter-tall angel from the Divine Kingdom appeared above her head. Her pure white wings spread open, bringing with it a powerful gust of wind element as she pounced toward Eirinn. In its hand was a three-meter-long sword of light.
This divine angel seemed to have really come out of the moon. Even Eleanor's sharp senses couldn't detect it. But judging from the distance, the distance between them couldn't be more than 50 meters.
The water puppet instantly activated a skill. Dozens of tornadoes appeared in the clouds. Eleanor drew her longbow, Seven Nights, but found that she couldn't lock on to her target.
The four-meter-tall divine angel passed through the tornadoes like an illusory shadow, unaffected by the wind elements in the slightest. His face was expressionless, like a statue. The sword of light in the god's hand stabbed towards Eleanor's chest.
The water puppet pointed a finger, and a white light penetrated the body of the divine angel. The white feathers on the angel's wings seemed to have been hit by magic. They exploded and danced in the air.
The expression of the divine angel didn't change. It dove towards the ground with its wings, but was stabbed by the angel's sword of light. The crystal finger's attack failed. At least it didn't kill the creature summoned by the Vatican.
The Fairy Wings made a cracking sound, and a crack appeared on the left side of the wing. The Thundercloud Wood was much harder than metal, but it was still unable to withstand the stab of the Light Sword. With the water puppet around, flying didn't need the wings at all. But the speed of the wings was much faster than the water puppet's magic.
With her Spirit Wings damaged, her speed immediately dropped. The Water Golem hugged Eleanor tightly as layers of Water Rune Shields appeared around her body. The divine angel's sword of light slashed down again. The 10 layers of water shield shattered at the same time. The sword of light cut into the water puppet's back, causing ripples to appear.
North of the city, in the courtyard where the Tanggulas Empire envoys lived, a dozen officials, more than 100 soldiers, and more than 300 servants were lying dead on the ground. Their eyes were empty. In the middle of the courtyard, a seven meter wide divine runic array flickered with a dim light.
Lying in the middle of the divine runic array was a red-robed mage. He had disguised himself as an official and followed the envoys into Great Liang City. His purpose was to kill Salin, not to send a congratulatory gift.
This person, Salin, must die. This was the Pope's order.
In the red-robed mage's hand, a soul bead had already shattered. This bead had been unsealed by more than 400 living souls. All the souls within the bead had been sacrificed to the gods in order to summon a level 9 divine emissary.
The red-robed mage had also paid the price with his life. But on his face, there was a trace of a happy smile. This smile, coupled with his empty eyes, was extremely terrifying.
Ordinary believers could only enter the divine kingdom after death. But the Pope had said that if they killed Salin, they could enter the divine kingdom.
A level 9 divine angel was equivalent to a human level 10 powerhouse. This was because physical attacks were ineffective against him. In order to summon this divine angel, the entire parish, more than 160,000 believers had sacrificed their lives.
This was Great Liang City, not Holy Rock City. A human level 10 powerhouse was enough to destroy everything.
