Chapter 76: The Bait

  As a neutral force of business family, the underground chamber of the Kinneil house was lit by flickering lights, and three figures were conducting an underground transaction.

  Seated in the center is a tall and round figure, dressed like a nouveau riche, the head of the Gildroy family, Duke Danchi.

  The Duke of Dantès lifted a very heavy sealed box from his feet and placed it directly on the round table made of star sandstone.

  "Mystic crystal card, Secret Silver, Sun Sand, I've got everything ready."

  Seated opposite the Duke of Dantalion was a man wearing a large, jet-black magician's robe with a hood and mask.

  This man who couldn't see clearly opened the sealed box with extremely skilled and practiced movements, without needing to follow any steps, and examined the items inside.

  "This man's voice was incredibly hoarse: 'Is this a full commission, or just a deposit?'"

  The Duke of Danchi waved his hand casually: "Since it's the famous Mist Killer in the entire black magic world, it's worth trusting, and full payment is convenient."

  The man in black shook his head: "Mist only executes tasks, I am a residual shadow, responsible for collecting commissions. When you contacted us through the 'Madman' organization, didn't you understand and confirm our transaction method?"

  The Duke of Danchi was actually extremely curious: "Carrying such a large sum of money, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

  The residual shadow collected all the commissions: "Black eating black is okay, no fear of offending Mist and Madman, welcome!"

  The Duke of Dantech knew this was a reminder to himself not to try some unnecessary ideas and talk too much.

  "Zan Ying directly cut into the topic: 'This time, the target of our mission is Lilianna, the heir to the Brian Kris house. The one who possesses the three major sealed specified demons, the mysterious summoner, Hoshi Kurewood?'"

  The Duke of Danchi understood that they had thoroughly investigated everything about Liriana and Sei Yu, so he set such a price.

  "That's right, the mission objective is those two. Tell me, are you confident in taking them down?"

  Zuì yǐng directly picked up the sealed box in his hand and turned to leave: "No matter if the opponent is the designated seal, the mist has never lost its grip."

  "Taking down two inexperienced kids is a piece of cake! From this moment on, our deal is officially sealed, and the Fog Assassin will make his move!"

  The Duke of Dantès gazed at the receding figure of Mercédès, his face calm and expectant, leaning back in his chair.

  As long as the fog gets rid of Lilianna and Xingyou, plus his own chess pieces hidden in Chris's house, it is very likely that he will annex Chris's house!

  But he didn't know that everything he did had already been passed on to Seron, Xingyou and Liliana through Seron's "Hurricane" intelligence organization.

  Lurking in the capital of Blaine, a sacred place for magicians, "Tenshoku" of Mikaro Academy, Carly Rampanch is gathering her equipment.

  Her original task was to gather information about the Queen of the Void, Ikaros. Having completed her collection, she prepares to return to Miharu Academy.

  However, the lecherous Dean of Discipline, Noseois, suddenly burst in, his disgusting drawling voice calling out: "Li...ttle... Ka...ri!"

  However, looking at Carly Lamperge, who was called Tian Shuo's designated successor, she actually held a one-person-long heavenly longbow, and became slightly more serious.

  "Mikaro's top student, Carly Rampatch. The old Dean has ordered you to stay in the Kingdom of Blythe and complete the second supplementary mission."

  Carly Lampachi's unparalleled puzzlement, and there was still a task, opened her mouth to ask: "May I ask what task the principal has assigned?"

  Norseis pulled out a secret order from his bosom and threw it directly to Carly Lampachi. Tian Shuo looked at the secret order in his hand, which only had one short sentence on it.

  Slaughter of Black Magic World, "Madman" organization's Fog Assassin!

  Carly Lamprecht's utter bewilderment: "Fog Slayer Assassin? Which one is that mysterious shadow assassin?"

  "He never attacks head-on, is skilled in using poison, and can easily kill with a single arrow, but his true form is unknown, how can he be killed?"

  As a sacred place for magicians, Mikaru Academy has repeatedly clashed with the dark magic world in large-scale conflicts, taking it upon itself to eliminate fallen black magicians.

  Carly Lampachi's reputation was forged in the midst of a conflict that erupted among black magicians, and she became famous overnight. The number of black magicians who died at her hands is countless.

  However, this elusive opponent gives people a sense of powerlessness.

  Norseis shook his head: "We have a lead on him because he's already taken over the mission to assassinate Liliana Kris and Star Yuu Kiriwood."

  "We can use Liliana and Sejuani as bait to try and lure out that mysterious assassin, Jhud!"

  Carly Lampachi gripped her longbow tightly, and her target was surprisingly that man, Star Yuu Kiriwood?

  Unbeknownst to her, Xing You has already been targeted by both forces.

  However, as the central figure, Hoshi Yū was incredibly carefree, Ikaros slowly pushed a wheelchair, and Hoshi Yū swayed back and forth as they strolled down the street.

  Icaros hesitated for a long time, somewhat worried: "Master, you've already been targeted by an assassin. And Zhu Yue, who is also in the black magic world, kindly reminded us that the Mist Assassin likes to use distant assassination and poisoning, and will even use your loved ones to threaten their target."

  "Master, shouldn't we be more careful?"

  Xing You knew what Icaros was worried about: "Liliana, Zhu Yue and Kris are assigned to protect the two major seals with Dela and Julia."

  "Celoron doesn't have to worry at all, Father Scatha has already been protected by Celoron, and Xiao Mu also has a crazy thunderbolt assigned to follow him."

  "Fog killer, for these few people, it's hard to take action."

  However, Ikaros interrupted Hoshino's words for the first time: "So, Master, you deliberately exposed yourself, trying to use yourself as bait to attract the Mist Assassin to target you. Your carefree stroll is a provocation to the Mist Assassin."

  Xing Yu suddenly didn't know what to say, because Icarus had already said the things he had hidden in his heart.

  After being embarrassed for a while, he touched the back of his head in a daze: "Because we can't guard against an assassin all our lives, and it will drive us crazy. The best solution is to take the initiative to attack. With you by my side, I feel extremely at ease, because I firmly believe that Icarus, you will protect me well."

  Icaros slightly lowered her head, because her master believed in her so much, and she felt a little sweet in her heart. Was this fluctuation happiness?

  Icaros's tone suddenly changed, and he said firmly: "Master, don't worry! I won't let anyone harm you."

  Xing You looked at Ikaros' extremely serious eyes and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  Being able to summon Soten Kizuku and Ikaros, who are close to perfect familiars, is Seito's lifelong blessing.

  However, Xing You had an idea that was deeply buried in his heart. I am still too weak now, just like being weak makes it impossible to do anything.

  Although I obtained the Summoning Scripture and learned Soul Resonance and Forced Summoning, I became much stronger than before.

  However, in front of the sealed surface, it is still nothing, so Sei Yū will continue to grow stronger.

  Until the day when I can fight alongside Icaros and others as equals.

  Xing You would not allow anyone to disturb or obstruct him, no matter what so-called "Fog Assassin" or black magician from the Black Magic Realm.

  Whoever appears in front of Xing You, dares to harm his companions and loved ones?

  Xing You will unhesitatingly come with a double soul resonance, letting him know what is the terror of a summoner!
