Chapter 373: Chapter 353: Assassinate the King

“Fake-Spirit Card.”

That was the powerful ability of the Path of Tranquility, capable of transforming one’s appearance.

Until now, many Extraordinary Exponents of the Dawn Church who embarked on the Path of Tranquility had used the power of the “Fake-Spirit Card” to infiltrate various parts of Cyart and secretly accomplished numerous tasks.

The Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Tranquility were born spies and assassins.

And the one who had traveled farthest and was most powerful on this path was undoubtedly Chris.

At this moment, he had disguised himself as a servant in the palace, having infiltrated this victory banquet in the Cyart Royal Capital, searching for a genuine opportunity to destroy the enemy.

Chris had only one target.

The New King of Cyart, Noah Adley!

In fact, he had been staying in the Cyart Royal Capital for a full three months.

Assassinating Cyart’s new king, Noah, no doubt was a boldly astonishing act, but Chris felt it was also a near-permanent solution to the problem.

Chris had discussed this matter beforehand with Byrne, and then, without waiting for a family meeting to be convened, he infiltrated the Cyart Royal Capital alone.

He had already considered in advance how to infiltrate, assassinate, and ultimately withdraw.

King Noah was an Extraordinary Exponent who had already reached the Monarch Level, an extremely powerful being, but after all, he was merely a low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent, so his own “Lethality” could take effect at the time of the attack.

He just had to get close to him, and by launching a surprise attack through rune power, he could completely destroy the opponent.

And as long as he succeeded in killing Noah Adley, even if the Adley royal family manipulated by the Words of Tranquility subsequently introduced a new king of Cyart at the Transmutation Level, he would not command absolute authority.

The assassination of the King and the death of the Monarch-powerful experts, when compounded, would certainly deal a devastating blow to the reputation of the Adley royal family!

The victory of the Fischer Family and Romann Family would then become imminent.

At this moment, King Noah came out of his room and returned to the center of the banquet, capturing the attention of everyone; he began to mingle with the many nobles present.

“Sword of Salvation” Noah.

As the last remaining Monarch-powerful expert from the direct line of the Adley Royal Family, before ascending to the throne, he was widely seen as someone who “would not bother with worldly matters and was solely focused on becoming stronger.”

However, after truly becoming the new king of Cyart, Noah completely changed the impression he made on people. He immediately began to actively intervene in governmental affairs and called upon hundreds of noble families throughout the country to jointly combat the rebels.

The drastic changes in Noah before and after were so great that they left many people dumbfounded, especially Marquis Vlad, who had not anticipated this at all.

Chris, disguised as a servant, watched quietly on the side, waiting for the right moment.

Now was not the time to act.

His heartbeat sped up slightly with the movement of his target, but he remained calm and composed.

Chris was acutely aware that any sign of nervousness or error in the present setting could lead to failure. He adjusted his breathing, putting himself into a highly focused state.

Finally, after a series of exchanges, Noah nodded gently and calmly said, “I need to step away for a moment, sorry, my subjects.”

As he finally moved to a relatively isolated corner, Chris knew this was his chance.

He approached the target quickly and noiselessly, deciding to unleash his rune power.

Suddenly, Noah snapped back to awareness, staring intently at the approaching Chris!

Those icy eyes were like chilling winds on a winter’s night, piercing through all warmth and hope, ruthlessly ravaging every corner without a hint of warmth, sharp and indifferent.

Almost every person observed by those eyes would feel an inexplicable oppression, as if bound by an invisible force, immobilized.

It was a deeply bone-chilling coldness that made one shiver involuntarily.

The new king, Noah, seemed to have gotten used to communicating with the world in this way, his eyes filled with alienation and cold indifference, as if he had lost interest in everything around him.

Such a gaze was impenetrable and unforgettable.

“…”

Instantly, Chris knew he had been spotted by the other, not because of any flaw in his appearance but because he had let his intense killing intent slip out.

The “person” across from him, this so-called king of Cyart, was actually the same kind of being as himself.

So that was it, Chris fully understood now, something only he could realize in a flash.

Perhaps before becoming the new king of Cyart, Noah had always been the “dark side” of the Adley royal family, secretly having killed countless people.

So he could sense his own killing intent!

Before becoming a king, Noah was not indifferent to worldly matters; rather, it was because at that time, he was handling matters absolutely unknown to others!

Without hesitation, Noah acted!

From his hand extended a blade made of golden liquid blood, moving at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, instantly thrusting toward Chris.
