31 Schemes (1/2)

The flash danced in the darkness of night, stabbing Rainer's stomach!

Stab!

”Uuugh”

Warm blood began to ooze from the wound shortly after the attacker removed the dagger from his stomach.

As the attacker was about to flee, Lerna appeared in front of Rainer and she lunged towards the assassin!

”...!”

After Lerna's arrival, the assassin rushed away to the opposite direction.

Although he was fast, he was no faster than Lerna, when he was about to cross the corner, Lerna wrapped around his body and he fell to the ground.

Exhausted, Rainer slowly approached the gagged assassin, he was trying to use his spiritual energy to resist Lerna's pressure.

”Who sent you after me?”

Asked Rainer without expecting to get much out from the assassin, he already had a slight notion about the mastermind behind this plan.

”...”

The assassin remained silent, it didn't seem he was going to reveal anything even under the heavy pressure his body was being subjected to.

”You don't leave me any choice...”

* Squeeze *

The sound of flesh being pressed sounded from the assassin's body, his eyes began to protrude from his basins and red veins began to appear in them.

*Ploff*

It didn't take long for the spiritual energy shield to succumb to the pressure.

Although he tried to use his spiritual energy to subdue Lerna, her gripping force was higher than the assassin's spiritual energy!

After killing him, Rainer unmasked the assassin.

”...!”

He was one of the recently hired guards!

This man was one of those who easily reached the semi-finals because he fought only against weak opponents,and then he decided to join the clan!

Despite being an adult, his cultivation was at the same level as Rainer's, the Middle Manifestation stage.

It indicated that without the support of a clan or sect, one would not make significant advances without luck....

”...!”

When Rainer was about to inform the guards, a severe pain pierced his stomach.

He looked down at his wound and it was completely dark!

”I was poisoned!”
