The job which was supposed to be easy turned to be troublesome. It's quite rare for the Black Rose organization to fail which why they had a policy which made them return double the promised price in case of failure.

Black Rose wasn't the strongest organization in the multiverse but definitely the most dangerous. They are a bunch of expert assassins and hiring them costs a large sum of money. It doesn't matter if it's a mortal or a God Monarch, as long as they have enough money, they can hire those killers.

They mainly kill targets but in certain cases, they find a hidden person or go to a dangerous place to retrieve a treasure. Because the price they demand is simply outrageous, very few people are willing to employ them.

Athard, Visto's father, is one of those people. Though he was a bit disappointed when he heard nothing from the assassins he hired, on the fourth day, an old man appeared.

”If I don't find the target in three days the price you paid will be paid back tenfold.”

The identities of the top figures in the Black Rose organization are unknown, however, Athard became delighted as he certain the old man will definitely locate the murderer. Even though he was a God Monarch, he couldn't even measure the power of this frail and blind elder, which gave him confidence in the completion of the job.

Three days later, right outside of the sect's gate, there stood a blind old man. He was like a wooden log, motionless and silent. After a long while, his eyes suddenly opened, showing two white pupils that didn't grant him vision but still showed him more than enough.

He saw Visto talking without the guard and a cloaked figure. He saw the young master attacking then being flung back. The moment he was sent flying, the old man caught a glimpse of a chilling and ominous dark energy that invaded the young man's body.

Even some as experienced as him didn't know what that was but it wasn't easy to conclude the cause of the young man's death.

Arthur didn't retaliate and merely stood still, this made the old man wonder how Visto got infected by that poison and dark energy. Despite his special eyes, he wasn't able to see the Dark Barrier nor could it see the acting Tri-Spirit.

The old man gazed at Arthur for a few more minutes before he closed his eyes again and disappeared from that area.

As Arthur was relaxing in his room, as usual, both his senses and his map alerted showed an unusual reaction. A red dot appeared at the edge of the map, however, the dot didn't move toward him.

He could feel a gaze directed at him, though it had some killing intent, it wasn't that threatening. Seeing this, Arthur frowned at first then closed the book in his hand while saying

”Since you're here, why not join me here?”

He seemed to be talking to himself as no one answered him. Only when Arthur turned his head and stared at the source of the gaze did the other party spoke

”Hahaha I don't want to impose.”

Arthur, who was supposed to be smiling, suddenly had a change of expression. He stretched his hand toward the air and grabbed it. Using Space Magic, he grabbed the space around the 'guest', wanting to bring him to this room.

Unfortunately, his attempt was unsuccessful. He wasn't able to get hold of his target, which vanished and reappeared in another place.

”I'm not stupid enough to enter your room.”

”Oh?”

Arthur was momentarily surprised before smirking and adding:

”So you can see it?”

The other voice remained silent before laughing and answering him

”Hahaha being blind has its perks.”

Though blind, he could sense a dangerous energy lurking inside that room. It's like it became Arthur's lair, a foot inside would seal his fate. He was confident in his abilities but to walk into the trap of an enemy with unknown strength is plain stupid and suicidal.

Just as the old mans sensed, Arthur's room was drastically changed. Of course, it looked exactly the same but the amount of Death Energy inside would frighten anyone.

That's while excluding the traps he laid everywhere around him. Inside this room, Arthur was sure of his safety. He spent most of his last few days in leisure but the Tri-Spirit did a good job at protecting him.

Shu Ru could enter since she was harmless but any other person would have to think twice. Using its strong Earth Magic, the Earth Spirit made it hard for a God to even take a step inside. A Sovereign may be able to move but fighting is impossible.

Only a God Monarch will be able to slightly resist it but it'll still weaken him and make him spend an extra effort to get rid of it.
