The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 335 No.40 Scene Six. Illusion
When he awoke, Shadow Snake found himself leaning against a chair.

She jumped up subconsciously, but after looking around, she realized that this was the safe house she had been staying in for the past few days.

The owner of the house is away all year round, and this became the residence she "borrowed" for this mission.

It seems that he fell asleep.

She clearly remembered that she was supposed to be going on an assassination mission to eliminate Grandia and Alyssa together, but she didn't expect to fall asleep so defenselessly.

Recently, I seem to have relaxed a lot.

The Shadow Snake caressed her forehead, and in this cold winter night, a little sweat dripped down and ran across her delicate cheeks.

She opened the drawer and took out a ring from it.

The ring is made of sterling silver, and on the inside, there is a sentence written in correct characters - dedicated to the beloved Lina.

This is a gift from her fiancé, a man who is also a member of Dark Blade.

The two of them were originally going to retire at the same time after Shadow Snake's mission, take their years of savings and fly away, buy a manor in a quiet town somewhere, and spend the rest of their lives together.

"Grian"

Shadow Snake whispered the other party's name, then looked out the window.

The moon was hanging high, and it was already late at night. It seemed that I had slept for a long time.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't had such a relaxing sleep for so long, Shadow Snake felt refreshed, and even the air was filled with a delicate fragrance.

Now the best time for the assassination has been missed. When people fall asleep, the surrounding security will become stricter. Shadow Snake thought about it, and finally decided to wait for another day.

But she was still a little restless, the night was long and silent, she sat quietly on the chair like a dagger ready to go.

Until, there was a knock on the door.

Boom, boom——

The incoherent knock on the door made Shadow Snake alert.

She slowly drew out the dagger with her right hand, and approached the door step by step.

There was no response outside the door, Shadow Snake thought for a while, then slowly manipulated it with magic power, and opened the door.

However, what she saw next was a scene completely unexpected.

A man, covered in blood, was lying on the ground. Blood was still pouring out from the wounds on his body, and he looked in danger.

And this person is none other than her fiancé Grian.

"Grian!!?"

Shadow Snake did not immediately come forward to help, but secretly mobilized her magic power. It was not until she confirmed the identity of the other party through some special method that she approached.

"How did you become like this, why did you appear here?"

With an anxious look in her eyes, she tore open the other party's clothes and saw that there were already several bone-deep wounds on his strong body.

Shadow Snake hurriedly took out the medicine to stop the bleeding, but Grian grabbed her wrist.

"Lina, you... go away!"

He was as angry as a thread, his face was pale, and he couldn't tell that he was a former Bronze Rank powerhouse.

"I met a powerful guy, who is not his opponent at all, and his goal is the dark blade!"

Grian said, spitting out a few mouthfuls of gore.

"Wait, don't talk, I'll treat the wound first."

Shadow Snake held down the bleeding wound, spread the medicinal powder on it, and then wrapped it with a coarse cloth.

After finishing the matter, Shadow Snake looked at Grian lying on the bed with pity, and asked.

"Who is it that has such power?"

She thought of a few enemies in normal times, but there were very few who could beat Grian, who was stronger than herself, like this.

"I don't know, it's a knight, holding a huge long sword, but his movements are unexpectedly fast. I was defeated in three moves. If I didn't have various props, I'm afraid it would be a corpse now."

Grian said in a weak voice.

"However, before I left, I seemed to hear him mention the name Grandia."

"Is it her?"

The Shadow Snake was completely shocked. Could it be that this Grandia is really a pawn of the Trieste family, and he just investigated it a little, and the other party violently retaliated against the entire organization like this?

It seems that this commission is not that simple.

Thinking about it, Shadow Snake already had a plan to stop.

But when she caressed Grian's chest affectionately, she found something strange.

"Grian, aren't you supposed to be at the headquarters of the organization, Swift, thousands of miles away?"

Even with the fastest speed, it would take Grian more than half a day to arrive. Now, no matter how you think about it, it looks a little weird.

Once he started to doubt, Shadow Snake suddenly felt that everything around him became hypocritical.

She remembered that she had never sneaked into other people's houses to use it. She should have booked a good room in a hotel in Christine Town to rest.

She remembered that she had never had a fiancé, and the only guy she had a crush on died in a mission a few years ago, also named Grian. Since then, Shadow Snake has never had an intimate relationship with others.

She remembered that she did not fall asleep tonight, but sneaked into the Trieste family's villa in Christine Town, bypassed several layers of defensive circles, got a maid outfit and was about to sneak in and carry out the assassination .

"what--"

At this moment, Shadow Snake suddenly came to his senses, remembering the guy in armor.

And everything around them faded, quickly turning into dust and disappearing.

"what?"

She found that she was still in the Trest family's mansion, but she had been moved from the corridor to a quiet empty room.

Trying to move his hands and feet, Shadow Snake found that the space seemed to be fixed to death, standing still.

"How about it, is the plot I set up good?"

Behind her, the knight was speaking faintly, and a cold breath spread from him.

"You actually played with my spirit!"

Shadow Snake scolded angrily. She couldn't turn her neck and couldn't see each other. She could only judge the positions of the two through their shadows.

"Are you trying to deceive me and make me just give up my mission?"

Although she looked very angry on her lips, she was actually quite calm. She knew that she had encountered a powerful enemy, and if she wanted to survive, she could only use both soft and hard tactics.

It's not that Shadow Snake has never been caught by the enemy, but at those times, the other party was greedy for beauty and wanted to do something indescribable before killing her, so Shadow Snake seized the opportunity and succeeded. Anti-kill.

She would even use her body to pretend to surrender, and then make a move after lingering with the other party. For an assassin, the body is also a weapon that can be used.

"Wait, friend, I'm just a person who takes money to do things, we don't need to do anything, and you don't want to anger the dark blade, maybe, we have other ways to communicate"

Just as she was thinking about how to lure the enemy and look for a chance to sneak attack, the tall knight standing behind her spoke.

"No, the reason why I will show you such an illusion is to test my ability, as for you"

Shadow Snake listened, and felt a bone-chilling chill for the first time in his life.

"When did you have the illusion that I would let you go?"

The next moment, the icy sword edge directly penetrated the back of the shadow snake, broke out from the chest, and directly pierced the heart.

And the Shadow Snake, who raised his head and roared, also saw the man's appearance.

It was a gleaming white bone under the glowing armor, and in the hollows of the eyes, the fire of the soul was emitting a strange light.
