Chapter 168: Monarch of Night (2/2)

Marko was rubbing his twisting red burning body with the cold ground to get some relief from the burning sensation. His crazy laughter continued to ring in Thousand Deaths Monk ears.

'I never thought Miss Ellie's new potion, a mixture of laughter potion and life-severing poison, would have such a wonderful effect. No... It's a deadly effect. To torture others with the combination of plain and laughter while burning them alive from the inside'

Thought Thousand Deaths Monk as he waited for Marko to reach his breaking point and start begging for mercy.

[Ellie's Laboratory]

Ellie was busy mixing some potions when she heard a knock on the door.

Ellie was busy mixing liquids when she heard a knock on the door.

”Come in,” said Ellie without turning around. Her eyes were completely focused on the liquids, it was important to mix it in the correct proportions to prevent an unexpected reaction from occurring. If that happens, the liquids can become unstable which can lead to unnecessary reactions and a potion failure.

A Person clad in Dark Attire entered the room and noticed that Ellie was completely focused on making potions, slowly he closed the door. The person pulled the hood and a mask down revealing the original appearance of the Night Monarch, the most dangerous assassin in the continent.

She was a slim young woman, a height of 183 cm, long white hair with tiny curls at the ends. Two bangs on the sides reached her breasts; the rest covered her forehead. The hair on her back reached down to her waist. She had gorgeous big blue eyes, a curvaceous body with big breasts. She wore a tight-fitting black suit with arm guards, a miniskirt, and knee-high black heel boots

She looked around trying to find an empty spot but was not able to. The entire room was filled with various instruments made of glass. Moreover, the shelves were full of different potions with wooden trunks placed below them.

Seeing no option available, she stood still where she was and dared not to disturb Ellie further remembering the first they met.

It was only two months ago that she was hired to infiltrate Duke Michael Castle to find and kill the person behind the rise of Buraford Kingdom, only to be caught by Ellie.

She was very surprised by her skill, Ellie hid perfectly in the surroundings while standing behind her and placing a short dagger on her throat. It was her first failure in her three hundred years career, she was preparing to die. It's a fact that in the life of an assassin there is no second chance. Yet, she was given a chance to live on by making a magic contact with Ellie. She is her servant but she didn't interfere or give any orders against her principle.

Slowly and steadily she had witnessed by her own eyes, how her master had one by one integrated all assassins and spies from various forces and made the assassin organization submit before her and form the shadow wing legion.

Following, she witnessed with her own eyes how her Master slowly and steadily integrated all assassins and spies from various forces and made the Assassin organization submit to her, forming the Shadow Wing Legion.

She was appointed as the head of the Shadow Wing Legion Department that is responsible for information gathering through the entire continent, espionage, and infiltration in different organizations. The only thing she didn't understand was why her Master had formed this department without informing the king. Although it was understandable. One month ago they didn't even exist. According to her Master, she wants them to be shadow forces of the Buraford Kingdom and will inform the king about them after he is crowned as the King of the Burafold Kingdom

Not long after, Ellie was finally done with her work and turned around to find her standing before the door.

”Sorry to keep you waiting Mirajane. Have you brought Moon Lily from the Romand Kingdom?”

Mirajane nodded then took out a wooden box and gave it to Ellie.

Getting her hands on the box. She carefully opened it and checked the quality of the herb.

Keeping it away, she looked at Mirajane ”You did a good job Mirajane. I can finally start creating the cure for the life-severing poison”

”It's my fortune that I was able to help my mistress. I want to report something extra. I have captured the infamous Shadow Squadron and their leader, Marko Sapis. They tried to infiltrate Almon city with ill intention but before they were able to do any mischievous work. With the help of others I have captured them”

”At the moment they are imprisoned in the lower chamber of the Deep Abyss prison. Thousand Deaths Monk is trying to get information from Marko Sapis about the one who sent him as well as his purpose.”

Hearing that Ellie smiled ”Well done, Mirajane. But, no need to ask them any questions, kill them directly. We already have full information about the one on whose command he was trying to infiltrate Almon city. He is the enemy of our master, silence him for good. But, if his subordinates are willing to submit to me and swear loyalty to my lord. You may spare them”

”It will be done, mistress,” said Mirajane with a bow, covered her face with a black cloth and put on her hood before leaving the room to carry out her orders.

Seeing her leave, Ellie continued creating potions. These days she is not getting any free time to relax and have a casual talk. Too many tasks to complete, her hands are completely tied to her work.
