Chapter 288 - Mark Of Birth (IV) (1/2)
The enemy immediately bites his tongue before he can even do anything. He died immediately after biting the part of his tongue that has an artery that is directly connected to his heart. It looks like an assassin capable of doing that kind of technique, he even has a few daggers and throwing knives on his body which means he is indeed here with the intent to kill. There aren't players available here due to this being an exclusive quest available to me, also, Aquagius is entirely inaccessible before the Pioneer Quest is issued. The only thing we can say is that this assassin is an NPC that should be from someone with high status.
I inspected the assassin since he was covered from head to toe, no one knows who is under the guise of the assassin. I checked the assassin's face and I immediately noticed that this guy is also an insect person.
Still, I didn't expect that you can indeed die by biting your own tongue. After all, I have bitten my tongue accidentally many times but I am still alive. Perhaps, I needed to know what part is needed to bite for me to do that kind of performance. Just in case I also needed to do that kind of thing too.
”He died!” Tina started looking around for more enemies but it seems like no one is here other than this assassin who died.
”This guy has done a wasted effort,” I shook my head before grabbing his head.
”[Necromancy: Revive the Dead.]”
”Necromancy?!” Tina was surprised the moment I used the skill. Although this skill is purely used on monsters, it is also applied to people as long as they are already dead and treated as a ”corpse” already.
The dead assassin shook a bit before a green light engulfed his whole body and his lifeless eyes opened again and he slowly stood up.
”...Master.”
”State your name, your affiliation, and also your reason for being here.”
”Yes. I am Papillon and I served as one of the assassins of the Insect Kingdom's royalties. I was tasked to secretly kill insignificant humans who are not nobles visiting the Insect Kingdom to get rid of the majority of them in the Insect Kingdom before the event happen.”
My eyebrows furrowed when I heard this. After all, I have heard of this force before but I never expected that thing that happened as a history of the Insect Kingdom where humans were killed by an unknown assailant would be caused by this assassin. It was a large scale so my guess is that he is not the only one who is under the orders of the royalties.
”Sent to kill the humans who are not nobles?! Why is the palace is doing this?!” Tina grabs the collar of the undead.
”I am sorry but I don't know how to answer that since I don't know why they are doing this. I am just a mere servant tasked to kill. Nothing more, nothing less.”
”Khhh!” Tina seems adamant about hitting him but Lina stopped her.
”There is no point hitting her, Princess Tina. He is already under master's power as he already died. It's a pointless effort,” Lucia explained allowing for Tina to stop.
