The Death List Novel - Chapter 670
Chapter 670 Coincidence
Elaszo was able to become Silvermoon City Lord and lead the Silvermoon Alliance to unity over the years. Not only did she rely on her personal strength and her status as a Misra voter, her intelligence and decisiveness were also outstanding.
Right at the moment of the Centaur Lord’s change, she had already realized that something was amiss. She was so focused that she could not even hear Lenny and Anacelia’s shouts from afar.
Two translucent magic shields spread out from her body, like double layers of eggshells that wrapped Elaszo into a shiny big egg.
The light red magic shield was a high-grade fire-type shield that came with her magic robe. The light golden magic shield was an instant-cast spell called “Misra’s Blessing”. It was the strongest protection that the Magic Goddess had given her.
However, Santalin would be preparing for this assassination plan for a long time. The Centaur Lord’s dagger and the two assassins’ daggers were clearly not ordinary objects. The first layer of fire magic shield on Elaszo’s body had almost no effect. Three sharp blades pierced into the shield like butter.
However, when they pierced through the first barrier and came into contact with the second layer of [Misra’s Blessing], they finally encountered an obstacle. The faint golden magic shield deformed violently, and the magic halo on its surface flashed wildly. When it touched the sharp blade, it sunk deeply inwards.
All of a sudden, when Silvermoon City Lord was assassinated, other than Qin Lun and the others who reacted, the guests and guards around her were all dumbfounded as they watched this change, and their minds went blank for a moment.
“Boom!” With an inaudible light sound, Misra’s Blessing finally dissipated into a faint golden light after a shock. It only bought Elaszo less than a second.
“Success!” The eyes of the two Santalin a.s.sa.s.sins revealed ecstasy. Countless veins appeared on the back of their dagger-wielding hands in an instant. They no longer cared about Elas’ possible counterattack, and their stabbing speed was even faster.
As for the centaur lord who had assassinated Silvermoon City Lord, he seemed to have received orders from Necromancer, who was hiding in the shadows. His hind hooves suddenly exerted strength, and his half-lying body suddenly stood up. The dagger in his hand, which was originally aimed at Elaszo’s lower abdomen, slightly changed its angle and stabbed into her heart fiercely.
“Is that it?” Silvermoon City Lord’s originally frightened and angry expression suddenly calmed down, and a trace of calmness appeared in his eyes.
“Misra’s Blessing” gave her a chance to retaliate, but Elaszo knew that he could no longer avoid this sniper attack. The attacks from the three directions cooperated perfectly, basically making it impossible for her to avoid them.
At this moment, she had only two choices. One was to avoid the vital parts of her body as much as possible, and the other was to ignore the enemy’s attacks and use the last spell to drag these assassins to their deaths.
“Alas!” Silvermoon City Lord sighed softly. She made a decision almost instantly. She tried her best to turn around and block the short sword in front of her and the dagger on the left side of her head with both hands. As for the attack on the right side, she could only resign herself to fate.
If this was in the wild, she would not hesitate to drag the enemy to their burial, but this was the banquet hall in Supreme palace, where most of the Silvermoon Alliance’s city lords were gathered. Using self-destructive magic would not only bury her enemies, but also cause heavy casualties to her friends. Hopefully, the lady was obviously not such a selfish person.
However, the moment Silvermoon City Lord attacked, something unexpected happened again.
Because of the Death Soul Flower Poison, the Centaur Lord’s soul had been contaminated. He no longer had any self-consciousness. His current body was controlled by Necromancer, who was hiding in the dark.
When he was poisoned and fell, the wine on his hand was spilled all over the ground. Due to the centaur’s size, the lower half of the horse was half lying on the ground. As long as it straightened its upper body, it could reach Elaszo’s lower abdomen.
However, at the time of the assassination, the short sword successfully broke through two layers of magic shields, causing Necromancer to be overjoyed. Therefore, he was in the same mood as the other two assassins. Both of them secretly increased their strength again, urging the centaur to stand up and slightly change the angle of the short sword that was originally stabbing towards his lower abdomen, stabbing towards Elaszo’s heart.
In fact, the Santalin Society had prepared two kinds of alchemy potions for this assassination. One was the Death Soul Flower Poison, and the other was the Illusion Potion, also known as the Emerald Dream Potion.
The Illusion Potion was the same as the Death Soul Flower Poison, and no one would die after being struck. The Dead Soul Flower Poison pollutes the soul and turns it into a living dead person, while the Illusion Potion traps one in a dream that never wakes up.
Although the Dead Soul Flower Poison was sinister, there was still a way to remove it. As long as the soul was contaminated for a short period of time, it could still be purified. However, memories would be damaged with the time of poisoning, and there was almost no antidote to the illusion potion.
The ingredients of this potion were even rarer than the Dead Soul Flower, and could even be said to have been extinct. Because its main ingredient was the Titan Giant’s brain, but it was also rare, so once it was struck, even the gods would be at a loss.
The Silvermoon City Lord was powerful, the Silvermoon Alliance had countless experts, and she was also the voter of the Magic Goddess Misra. It would not be easy to kill her in one blow. If it was useless to survive, she might be alive the next day.
Hence, Santalin would take a step back and only ask for her to be stabbed and the illusion potion to work. As long as Elaszo stayed in a dream for a long time, it would be no different from dying.
However, at this stage of the incident, several assassins from the Santalin Society suddenly realized that the entire plan had gone smoothly.
Although Silvermoon City Lord seemed to be prepared and secretly arranged for three legendary experts, including the Storm Queen, by chance, they were all lured away by the Crow.
As for Elaszo, because he was a legendary expert, he didn’t have any other guards around him, causing him to fall into a desperate situation.
As a result, Necromancer, who was hiding in the dark, immediately started to move. Sinking into a dream for a long time was indeed like dying, but after all, it wasn’t true death. Since things were going so smoothly now, he simply wanted to kill Elaszo.
Sometimes, however, things are more bizarre than novels, often full of unexpected drama.
When the centaur was lying on the ground, he was unable to exert any strength, and his dagger could only be aimed at Silvermoon City Lord’s lower abdomen. When Necromancer, who controlled him, tried to push him to his feet, the Centaur’s hind hooves landed on the wine he had spilled on the floor.
Chi! After a strange sound, he slipped …
The centaur’s enormous body fell towards Elaszo and instinctively waved his arm. If it was another assassin from the Santalin Society, such a small mistake would not matter. Their powerful battle awareness would instinctively adjust their angle of attack, so that the attack effect would not be affected.
Unfortunately, the centaur was only a living dead person controlled by Necromancer. He did not have such a powerful micro-control ability, not to mention that Elaszo had even raised his arm.
As a result, the centaur raised his dagger. Not only did it not pierce the Silvermoon City Lord’s heart, it also crossed her shoulder and stabbed behind her.
“Ding!” With a crisp sound, the short sword cut off a strand of hair on Silvermoon City Lord’s temples. Although it did not pierce through the target in the Central Plains, it clearly pierced through something else.
The assassin on the right behind Silvermoon City Lord had an incredulous expression in his eyes. The dagger, which was originally only an inch away from the back of the target’s head, was coincidentally tilted by the centaur’s dagger …
“Let’s go!” A soft shout came from behind the crowd. At the same time, the centaur controlled by Necromancer finally stabilized its body. With one arm open, its huge body swept across with a dagger and charged towards Elaszo again.
However, the Silvermoon City Lord, who had just escaped a calamity, would still be given another chance. He pinched a few difficult hand prints with both hands, and countless magical halos flickered on his body. With a “bang”, a wave of air erupted from his entire body, sending the centaur, who was several times heavier than an ordinary person, flying away.
At the same time, the two Santalin a.s.sa.s.sins behind her took the opportunity to jump up and flee to the window of the banquet hall.
“You still want to run?” A cold light flashed in Elaszo’s eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to the right, opened his hands, held them for a moment, and then fiercely pulled them down.
Compared to the assassin on the left who had just been blocked by her, the Silvermoon City Lord obviously hated the guy on the right who almost got her hit.
The assassin on the right felt his ankles tighten, as if a pair of large hands were grabbing him and pulling him down. His body, which was leaping in the air, had no choice but to sink and fell back to the ground.
The guests and guards of the banquet hall had already reacted and were rushing towards him. At the front was the red-eyed female knight of Elves, Anacelia.
The other assassin smoothly arrived at the wall, jumped out of the window that the Dwarves expert had broken and disappeared into the night.
The centaur, who was sent flying by Elaszo, stood up again. White foam flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the red light in his eyes became even denser. He let out a roar as he raised his dagger and pounced towards the crowd.
However, some keen-eyed people in the banquet hall had already noticed that behind him, a figure wearing a cloak had slipped out of the door under the cover of a centaur’s enormous body.
Elaszo clearly saw the figure as well. Her fingernails couldn’t help but pinch deeply into her palm. She hesitated for a moment, but didn’t choose to chase after him. Since the Centaur Lord wasn’t dead, he needed her to save him.
Moreover, there was also an assassin on the other side. Now that the entire banquet hall was in chaos, she needed to stabilize the situation here.
“Lord Elaszo, do you need my help?” Qin Lun calmly separated the panicked crowd and smiled as he walked towards her. Meanwhile, Hill and the others, who were beside Silver-haired Elves, had already disappeared.
“Just now … Thank you!” Seeing Qin Lun walk over, Elaszo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded in thanks.
Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Qin Lun’s tightly clenched palm. In the eyes of Lady Hope, she could clearly see the golden light emitted from Silver-haired elf’s palm. It was a light of divine power that no ordinary person could see.
