"Hmph, an assassin dares to be arrogant!”
Hua Mulan sneered and swung the sword in her hand. Blood splattered everywhere.
It was her swift sneak attack that caught the other party off guard and beheaded him.
Although she had yet to recover her strength of the seventh step, after a day of rest, she had more or less recovered 20 - 30% of her strength.
Now that it was a surprise attack, the other party was also heavily injured, so he was naturally killed in one blow.
"Well done!"
Rennes walked over and looked at the beheaded assassin with satisfaction.
Although he had been killed by Hua Mulan without interrogating the other party's identity, he could not blame him.
After all, this was Hua Mulan's responsibility, and she was also loyal.
Therefore, Rene still praised him.
"Young Master, I'm sorry to have frightened you!”
At this moment, a slender figure walked over. It was Rita, and she had an apologetic expression on her face.
Darren and the other guards also walked forward, their faces full of self-blame.
This was a major mistake for the guards.
The Duke's Palace had actually allowed an assassin to sneak in without a trace. No matter how powerful he was, it was still the guard's fault.
"This is not your fault. The other party is a seventh step assassin after all. It's normal for him to hide from you!”Ryan shook his head, not caring.
After all, he was an assassin of the seventh step. If he was discovered by a group of low-level guards, it would be too embarrassing.
However, it was a fact that the guards were not strong enough.
"Your strength is still too weak. You have to strengthen yourselves. Go to your families and get some money to improve your strength!”Rennes said indifferently. The strength of the guards was something he did not care about. He had to improve.
In this world, there were many ways to increase one's strength. One of them was the magic potion.
Whether it was a mage or a warrior, they could use all kinds of magic potions to increase their strength.
Of course, in comparison, the price of magic potions was also quite expensive.
A bottle of magic potion that could increase one's strength would cost more than a hundred gold coins.
Therefore, a powerful Potion Master was also a symbol of a moving treasure vault in a sense.
Not only was he rich, but his status was also high.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Being able to increase their strength was something they had dreamed of.
"Clean up the house!"
Ryan pointed at the ruined house.
The original house had long turned into dust and ruins under his Tier 6 spell.
"Yes, sir!"
The guards bowed, and some of the maids hurriedly followed suit.
"Rita, I'll leave this matter to you!”Ryan looked at Rita.
"Leave everything to Rita!"
The maid at the side revealed a calm smile and said respectfully.
"Then that's it, you can leave now!”
Rennes rubbed his forehead and waved his hand.
After a day of studying magic, coupled with the continuous use of magic and masterpiece techniques, Rennes was a little tired.
After all, he wasn't a real magical beast. How could he not be tired of suppressing an assassin of the seventh step with a body of the fifth step?
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing Rennes's exhausted appearance, everyone didn't dare to stay any longer. They scattered and went to do their own work.
"Hua Mulan, Nina, you should go rest too!”Rennes looked at the two women beside him.
"Sir, I'll protect you!”Hua Mulan said solemnly. Tonight's attack made her understand that Rennes was not safe.
Beneath his noble status was endless danger.
"There's no need. You've seen my strength. Even an assassin of the seventh step wouldn't be able to kill me. Why don't you go rest and recover your full strength as soon as possible? That's what you need to do.”Rennes looked at Hua Mulan and said earnestly.
"…Yes!"
After much hesitation, Hua Mulan did not insist.
She was not pedantic and knew that with her current strength, she could not protect Ryan at all.
"Nina, you can go down too. You can stay with Hua Mulan!”
Rennes looked at the worried Nina and reached out to rub her long blonde hair as he instructed.
After tonight, he was really worried about letting Nina stay alone. Hua Mulan was alone anyway, so they could stay together.
"You can wait until later. There's no need to rush now!”
Seeing Nina's hesitation, Rennes's words instantly made her blush and she fled in a panic.
"Hua Mulan, you'll be in charge of protecting Nina!”Rennes ordered.
"Understood!"
Hua Mulan nodded. She also liked the cute Nina very much, so she would naturally protect her seriously.
"What a pity!"
Looking at the corpse of the assassin of the seventh step, Rene sighed and turned to walk back to his room.
After a busy day, he needed to rest.
……
Not long after Rene left, a slender figure appeared silently. It was Rita.
" Undead wandering in the netherworld…"
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Rita's eyes emitted a scarlet light. A terrifying mana surged and she chanted a spell in a low voice.
No one saw the phenomenon here. Even Rene couldn't sense it. It was all isolated by a force.
"Undead Puppet!"
Finally, after reciting an incantation, a terrifying power spread out. It was as if the door to the underworld had been opened, and the power of the death god spread.
A shadow in the air slowly solidified and finally formed a solid body.
Of course, this was only a physical form. In reality, it was still just an illusion.
This was the eighth step death spell, Undead Puppet.
It was able to refine a soul that had not been killed and had not yet gone to the Netherworld into a puppet, possessing 70% of its strength and memories when it was alive.
This was a forbidden spell that toyed with souls.
It was a spell that was resisted by mages, and like most death mages, it could not be seen in the light.
But in Rita's hands, it was easily used.
"Who sent you here?!"
Rita stared at the Undead Assassin in front of her with a chilling smile on her face.
It looked like a smile, but in reality, it contained a terrifying killing intent.
"I see, it's Lord Robert!”After the Undead Assassin's report, Rita understood the entire situation.
"Hehe, Earl, there are some things that you have to pay the price for once you cross the line!”Raising her hand and crushing the undead, Rita did not care that the other party was a tier 7 undead at all. She revealed a cold smile.
His purple-red eyes were filled with a bewitching red light. Behind him, a ferocious shadow holding a huge sickle appeared and disappeared.
