Chapter 112: A Fight to the Death
“Go down, let me talk to this assassin miss from the Temple alone.”
Kailun waved his hand, signaling the dancers to leave.
Their presence was only to make the atmosphere seem more lively and natural, Kailun never expected them to be of any help.
After hearing Kailun’s words, they hesitated for a moment before leaving the courtyard and returning to the small building.
It wasn’t until only he and the assassin girl were left in the courtyard that Kailun pointed to the apple on the table, which had begun to turn yellow, and said unhurriedly:
“Want a piece of apple? It tastes quite good, even my dog says it’s delicious.”
Faced with this question, the assassin girl stared at Kailun with her cold eyes.
For an assassin, striking with one fatal blow and escaping thousands of miles away was what she should do, but the problem was that whenever she was about to strike, she always felt a faint sense of danger.
In her perception, there was clearly no eighth-rank presence in this manor, the highest was only a few seventh-ranks.
Unless someone was close to the ninth-rank and beyond her perception.
But was that possible?
Obviously not, after all, during this period, whether it was the Temple of the Heavenly God or the abyss, the main forces were concentrated on the battlefield, the battle at the second mine was the key to deciding the direction of the world.
But even if there was danger, it didn’t matter, Kailun in front of her was only at the fifth-rank, he couldn’t escape anymore.
Could Kailun be faster than her dagger?
“Oh, right, what’s your name again? I forgot to ask your name during the negotiations this afternoon, I’m really sorry.”
Hearing Kailun’s second sentence, assassin girl Helena’s eyes became even colder.
She was a born assassin, many people who had seen her would quickly forget her name and appearance.
Except for the ninth-rank existence like the Pope who could barely remember, everyone else was a stranger to Helena.
Every time someone asked her name, she would feel annoyed, especially Chrissy, who had already asked many times today.
“My name, you’re not worthy to know.”
The arrogant Helena gave Kailun the worst answer.
After saying this, she thought Kailun would be furious, but to her surprise, he laughed at her.
“Very good, very strong personality, I like arrogant girls like you.” The unreserved compliment made Helena a little confused.
She couldn’t help but wonder if this guy Kailun didn’t understand the current situation.
“Hand over the Golden Agreements I gave you today, maybe I can give you a quick death.”
Helena pointed her dagger at Kailun, she frowned slightly, and her green eyes returned to their coldness.
She abandoned the mentality of playing with her prey, the person in front of her was worthy of her vigilance.
If it were in the past, she would have stabbed him dozens of times, inflicting minor injuries and playing with her prey.
“Really bold words, your Saint also wanted to give me a quick death before, but she still did it in the end, she gave me a lot of pleasure.”
Kailun propped his chin with his hand and looked at Helena with calm eyes.
“Don’t you dare insult the Saint!”
Before her voice fell, her dagger had already stabbed towards Kailun’s eyes.
Watching the dagger getting closer and closer to Kailun’s eyes, Helena imagined the gruesome scene of Kailun’s eyeballs being stabbed.
“Whoosh!”
However, to her surprise, Kailun reacted at an extremely fast speed and caught her dagger with two fingers.
Helena tried to pull the dagger out, but Kailun’s grip was too tight, she couldn’t move it at all.
Only then did Kailun’s calm smile stir up a storm in her heart.
Being able to catch her attack head-on meant that he had the strength to rival her, which also meant that Kailun had the strength of an eighth-rank.
But was that possible?
Kailun was only in his teens, how could he reach the eighth-rank?
“Who are you?” She looked at Kailun coldly, secretly preparing for the next wave of attacks.
Kailun: “I’m Kailun, Miss Assassin, can’t you even remember my name?”
“Impossible, you’re not Kailun at all, Kailun can’t possibly have the strength of an eighth-rank, who are you?”
Helena used the conversation to distract Kailun while taking out another spare dagger with her left hand and stabbing it towards Kailun’s neck.
Faced with the girl’s ruthless attack, Kailun let go of his fingers, leaned back, and dodged the attack.
Just as the girl was about to press her advantage, Kailun stopped leaning back and kicked Helena under the table in an incredible posture.
The immense force directly kicked the girl away, sending her crashing into the rockery five meters away.
“Sorry, it was a reflex, I didn’t mean to kick you so hard.” Kailun scratched his head sheepishly, he deliberately put on a regretful look.
To further provoke the girl’s anger, Kailun added: “But it’s okay, even if you’re kicked to death, it doesn’t matter, we can still enjoy you while you’re warm.”
“You’re courting death!”
As a pure girl, how could Helena listen to this?
She jumped down from the rockery and planned to “assassinate Kailun head-on”, but as soon as she took a step, she bent over, clutched her stomach, and grimaced in pain.
One thing was for sure, it really hurt.
Looking at the girl’s pained expression, Kailun gentlemanly sat back in his chair and flicked the dust off his trousers: “Don’t worry, let’s take it slow, I can let you rest for a while longer. If you’re well-rested, let me know, and we’ll continue fighting.”
Helena: “…”
After being an assassin for so many years, this was the greatest humiliation she had ever suffered.
Emotionally, she wanted to kill Kailun without hesitation, but after calming down, her injured body did need a moment to recover.
Did Kailun really have the strength to rival an eighth-rank?
No!
Helena felt like she had noticed a key problem. Kailun only had the aura of an eighth-rank when he made a move, after he finished his move, he returned to the fifth-rank.
Did this mean that his ability couldn’t be used continuously?
Quickly stuffing a healing pill into her mouth, Helena calmly analyzed the problem.
Kailun wasn’t in a hurry, he planned to slowly wear down the assassin girl’s energy.
The purpose of doing this was not only to keep her on edge, but also to test his own strength.
Of course, the most important reason was to please himself, playing with the assassin girl’s novelty would keep him excited all night.
Yes, it was this look of desperately trying to figure out how to kill him that was the most interesting.
Kailun propped his chin with both hands and looked at the girl with the eyes of an old father: “Unknown assassin miss, come on!”
Helena: “…”
Her chest ached faintly, it was the first time she felt what it was like to have chest pain from anger.
Taking advantage of the free time, Kailun allocated some of his strength to agility.
“Opportunity!”
Perhaps sensing the change in Kailun’s aura, Helena charged towards Kailun with two daggers in hand. With the enhancement of her own abilities, she disappeared from her spot with a flicker.
When she reappeared, she had already stabbed Kailun’s neck with her dagger.
But the feeling of piercing flesh she had imagined didn’t appear. Helena looked to the side in astonishment, she found that Kailun was already sitting in the seat where she had just been sitting.
“Not bad, you almost killed me, come on!”
Kailun made a cheering gesture at her.
As expected of a professional assassin, Helena’s speed just now was extremely fast.
If Kailun had the same agility points as her, he would definitely be killed instantly.
In high-level battles, Kailun couldn’t fully utilize all his attribute points yet, he still had a lot to learn.
However, his learning speed was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than ordinary people, the reason was simple, just add all the points to mental power.
Helena: “…”
She had lost count of how many times she had been speechless tonight.
She had clearly seized the opportunity, but Kailun was always able to react before her.
This made her wonder if she could really defeat Kailun?
Before thinking about this question, it was better to ask the opposite question, if Kailun could capture her directly, why hadn’t he done it yet?
Was he stalling for time?
Realizing something was wrong, Helena pushed her abilities to the limit and stabbed at Kailun again, but the result was the same as before.
After trying to no avail, Helena stopped struggling, she took a step back and planned to leave.
Anyway, the Saint had been rescued, killing Kailun was a secondary task.
After thinking it through, Helena threw her spare dagger at Kailun to buy herself time to escape.
“Don’t run, the game has just begun, how about I treat you to an apple?”
However, as soon as Helena turned around, she bumped into Kailun, who was right in front of her. He kindly stuffed a piece of yellowed apple into her mouth.
Feeling the foreign object invading her mouth, Helena waved her dagger at Kailun in discomfort.
“Whoosh!”
The dagger cut through the air, but it didn’t achieve any results.
“Ptoo!”
Spitting the apple in her mouth onto the ground, Helena looked at Kailun with a ghostly expression: “Who are you?”
“I told you, I’m Kailun, could it be that I’m your father?” Kailun, who was three meters away, spread his hands at the girl.
Helena said with a dark face: “It was my fault for acting rashly today, let me go, I’ll have someone send you two million gold coins worth of Golden Agreements as compensation later.”
Kailun shook his head: “The Golden Agreements will be delivered by someone else, so you might as well stay. An eighth-rank assassin who’s a traitor, it’s very attractive no matter how you think about it.”
Helena: “Even if you kill me, I won’t betray the Temple.”
“That’s not for sure, after all, is the Temple you’re loyal to really the Temple?” Kailun continued to tempt Helena, at this time, he increased the allocation of mental power.
Helena frowned: “What do you mean?”
“Clap, clap!”
Kailun clapped his hands twice: “Let me introduce you to an acquaintance. Come out, don’t keep our assassin miss waiting.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure with long golden hair walked into the courtyard from the main entrance. Seeing her appearance, Helena’s eyes widened.
Her voice involuntarily rose two octaves: “Saint, why are you here?”
“Master called me back, so I naturally came back~”
Saint Chrissy threw herself into Kailun’s arms, hugged his neck, and said coquettishly: “Master, I’m back, and I brought you good things, look what this is.”
Chrissy reached into her white and delicate neckline and took out two warm scrolls.
“Golden Agreements? And two of them, not bad, not bad, commendable.”
Kailun accepted the fragrant Golden Agreements and rubbed Chrissy’s head with satisfaction.
Thanks to the gift of nature, the Temple of the Heavenly God was indeed a good person.
“Saint… what are you doing?”
Helena didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that she couldn’t even hold her dagger steady.
In response to the assassin girl’s question, Chrissy turned her head and answered proudly: “Can’t you tell? Are you stupid? Listen carefully, now I’m Master’s… capable assistant, the biggest traitor of the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
“So it was you who betrayed me?” The string in Helena’s mind called reason was about to snap.
She had come all this way to redeem someone, what exactly had she redeemed?
“It was just a task from Master.” Chrissy snorted coldly.
She didn’t have much pity for this assassin girl whose name she couldn’t even remember.
“Clang!”
The girl’s dagger fell to the ground, her fair hand trembling.
“What’s wrong with me?” Looking at her uncontrollable hand, Helena’s heart turned cold.
It wasn’t just her hand, she felt her whole body becoming numb.
“It’s okay, it’s just poison.”
Kailun let go of Chrissy, walked over, picked up the dagger from the ground, and said, “I heard from Chrissy that you like this dagger very much, so I coated the handle with a special poison I made. This colorless and odorless poison can enter the human body through the skin, the effect is amazing, the only problem is that it takes a while to take effect.”
A small dagger coated with two different poisons by Kailun, he was truly full of mischief.
“Is this the eighth-rank? It feels so weak.”
Chrissy leaned closer and pinched Helena’s face, she didn’t feel the pressure of an eighth-rank from her.
“Indeed, quite weak. I prepared so many tricks beforehand, but I won just by using poison.”
Kailun also played with her dagger in front of Helena.
In fact, Helena wasn’t weak, with her ability, she could instantly kill an ordinary eighth-rank, but she encountered Kailun, who was prepared.
If it weren’t for the information Chrissy had obtained, Kailun would probably be even more careful.
“I hate you, Saint.” Helena looked at Chrissy with hatred, she closed her eyes and slowly clenched her teeth.
Because her body was becoming numb, even the action of biting the poison in her mouth was a little slow.
“Crack!” This was the sound of teeth coming into contact with metal.
Helena opened her eyes and found that Kailun had put the dagger into her mouth, stopping her from biting the poison hidden there.
“By the way, Chrissy also told me that you have poison hidden in your mouth, it seems that you told her yourself.”
Hearing Kailun’s words, Helena’s heart turned to ashes, now she couldn’t even commit suicide.
As an assassin, she knew clearly what kind of cruel torture she would suffer after failing.
Helena: “I hate you both.”
“I know you hate me.” Kailun put his right hand into her mouth, feeling for the poison hidden in her mouth.
The girl’s mouth was soft and small, Kailun could only put two fingers in to feel around. Because of his unskilled movements, Helena shed tears in discomfort.
“Found it!”
Three minutes later, Kailun finally took his hand out of the girl’s mouth.
He was pinching a mung bean-sized pill between his fingers, his palm covered with the girl’s sweet saliva.
Because it was sticky and uncomfortable, Kailun wiped his hand with Helena’s dress.
“By the way, you should know her contact method and frequency with the Temple of the Heavenly God, right?” Kailun put away the pill and looked at Chrissy.
The latter looked at Kailun’s fingers with eager eyes: “I asked, she reports to the assassination department of the Temple of the Heavenly God every day at noon. If she exceeds this time or reports to the wrong department, it means that she has either been captured or failed the mission and died. The Temple of the Heavenly God will have follow-up plans based on different situations.”
Helena: “…”
Hearing that Chrissy had revealed all her secrets, Helena wished she could bite this traitor to death.
“Is that so? It’s good that I let you understand the situation first, otherwise it would be troublesome.”
After hearing Chrissy’s words, Kailun began to feel around Helena’s delicate body, from her full upper body to her slender waist and finally to her perky buttocks under her skirt. Kailun finally found the communication device she had hidden.
“You might as well just kill me!”
Helena’s face was flushed with shame and anger, it was the first time someone had touched her body like this.
Kailun patted her head with the communication device and said, “Don’t be silly, if I use your communication device to scold the Pope and tell her that you have abandoned darkness and turned to light and become mine, what would your great Pope think of you? Think carefully, even if you die, you won’t leave a good reputation, the Pope you respect will definitely regard you as a traitor.”
“Stop talking, I beg you to stop talking!” Helena showed a pained expression. If her whole body wasn’t numb, she would definitely cover her head with her hands and block her ears.
Kailun’s words were like the whispers of a devil, echoing in her heart again and again.
Only then did she understand why His Holiness the Pope deduced that her actions wouldn’t cause too much impact, it turned out that she couldn’t possibly win.
“Click!”
Helena, who was wearing a magic-suppressing collar, was still in a daze.
Kailun found a dancer and locked the almost broken assassin girl in the prison of the small building, then he looked at Chrissy: “Since the negotiation is over, you should also go back to the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
Hearing this, Chrissy’s face fell: “Are you going to chase me away now? Are you so heartless?”
“You can come back in less than a month. The main reason for sending you back is to get some information and supplies. It would be even better if you could make the Pope hate me. You are a very important step in my plan. If it succeeds, I will grant you a wish.”
Kailun sat down on the chair and put Chrissy on his lap.
“Any wish?” Chrissy immediately regained her spirits.
Kailun added: “Within reason.”
Chrissy: “Can I get paid in advance?”
Kailun: “Tell me about it.”
The latter hugged Kailun’s neck and shook it: “Right here in the back garden, I want you to spend the whole night with me, just me. On the grass, by the lake, in the pavilion… I want to leave important memories of us in your home.”
Her eyes were clearly filled with desire, but Kailun felt that her desire tonight was particularly pure.
“Okay.”
Kailun didn’t refuse Chrissy’s request.
No one could refuse a considerate plush ball, especially when the plush ball was very proactive.
“By the way, how are you going to deal with her? Are you going to satisfy her like you did to me?” On the way to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Chrissy suddenly asked.
Kailun looked back at the small building a hundred meters away: “No, there’s only one day, it’s not enough time. I have to use some drastic measures on this assassin miss.”
How to change an assassin’s perception, this was a science.
Before Kailun could continue to think about this science, Chrissy pushed him down on a chair in the pavilion.
“Hmph, I’m going to eat you up tonight~”
Chrissy licked her red lips, the hearts in her eyes emitting a peach-colored light.
She took off her shoes, put one of her black silk-clad legs on Kailun’s waist, and said, “If you beg for mercy now, I might let you off the hook.”
The proud Chrissy was very confident in her long legs. Using these long legs that made Kailun linger, she could output continuously without pressure.
Even mountains would be eroded, and people would be exhausted. She didn’t believe that Kailun could fight one against two.
No, it should be three, four… countless, she couldn’t count how many places on her body could fight.
Tonight was a fight to the death, she would use everything she had to participate in the battle.
……
“Click!”
After being locked up in prison, Helena’s mood calmed down a lot.
She summarized the reasons for her failure, studied Kailun’s abilities, and finally thought about the reasons why Chrissy and Kailson betrayed the Temple.
If the Kingdom of Xiya was really the root of the destruction of the world, then the person who would destroy the world must be Kailun!
Helena came to this important conclusion, she felt that she should tell His Holiness the Pope about this information no matter what.
But now she had become a prisoner, she didn’t know what kind of humiliation awaited her.
Leaning against the dirty wall, Helena’s heart was filled with unwillingness.
Her dream had always been to be a warrior sung by the world, but in the end, she became an assassin who would be forgotten by everyone.
“Your Holiness the Pope, your Saint has betrayed you, and your assassin has become their prisoner. If you knew about my situation, would you still come to save me?”
With unrealistic hope, Helena, whose body was numb, fell asleep in exhaustion.
……
The stars shifted, the moon and stars shone brightly.
The dim sunlight filled the early morning, white dewdrops covered Chrissy’s body.
Chrissy, who had already fainted, was lying on the grass, her clothes torn and tattered, her whole body covered with morning dew, like body paint.
“That’s it? Average.”
Kailun stood up and stretched, “average” referred to her combat power, in terms of feeling, she was definitely the best of the best.
Feeling the clarity in his heart, Kailun dispelled the magic circles he had set up around him to isolate sound and sight.
He took off his robe, wrapped the fainted Chrissy in it, and carried her back to his bedroom.
It was worth mentioning that Kailun met Princess Hilna, who had woken up early, in the corridor of the small building.
When she saw Kailun carrying Chrissy, whose hair was dripping with dew, past the corridor, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, trembling.
However, Kailun only glanced at Hilna and returned to the bedroom, entering the bathroom. With Hilna’s little combat power, she would definitely die if she encountered this level of battle.
After carefully washing Chrissy, Kailun placed her on his bed.
……
“What’s going on?”
“Why did the divination result show both success and failure?”
On the other side, the Pope of the Temple looked at the divination result and couldn’t figure it out.
So did Helena succeed or fail?
