reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

The other assassins, who were preparing to leave, were also stunned and stopped in their tracks.

"Erosion damage, neurotoxins... Ha, it doesn't feel as bad as Haisi's nerve damage."

The attack was effective; the arrow managed to pierce the skin of the ghost shark's arm, leaving a shallow wound.

The wound healed on its own very quickly.

HP-1

Ghost Shark's physical strength is actually weakened by the Originium Fluid in her body. Her Seaborne Factor has to use some of her self-healing ability to fight Oripathy, so she is far less powerful than other Deepsea Hunters.

Even so, she could crush shards of tempered glass into dust with her bare hands without injuring her palms. With such a level of skin defense, the fact that an arrow from a modern composite bow could pierce her skin was something to be proud of.

At least, the monster was injured.

But that's about it.

The arrow was squeezed out by the arm muscles and fell to the ground, while the neurotoxin drug coated on the arrowhead seemed to have never existed.

After all, the Sea Infestation can also cause nerve damage, and the Deep Sea Hunters are already used to dealing with this kind of damage. The damage caused by the Unarmored Alliance assassins is simply not enough.

"That's it?"

The ghost shark grinned.

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of the ground exploding, her figure disappeared from the spot. Although Ghost Shark's speed cannot compare to that of the Deep Sea Hunter, the fastest, Gladys, that's a comparison with Gladys. For ordinary people, there is actually no difference.

In the blink of an eye, Ghost Shark reappeared in the center of the Unarmored Alliance assassins. Originally, these guys were preparing to scatter and retreat, but that damn guy's arrow drew everyone's attention back.

At this moment, it was too late for them to escape.

"Unforgivable!"

"How dare you disturb my rare time alone with Bai Ye."

"Since he says he's at my disposal, then you can all die."

If the Specter Shark in its past state of darkness was a quiet, frenzied killer, then the Specter Shark who has now regained its self appears equally "mad." Although she no longer wields a chainsaw, the nun is just as frenzied.

……

The Unarmored Knight Killer, who used to swagger in front of the Arena Knights, was now being swept away by Laurentina like a toy. The scene was so cruel and bloody that there was no need to describe it anymore.

Of course, the battle didn't take too long; after all, a few simple enemies were nothing to Specter.

"call--"

Laurentina took a deep breath, her eyes turning red again. She stretched and then frowned at her tattered suit jacket.

His specially tailored, expensive suit was now tattered and torn from the fighting—of course, it wasn't caused by his opponent at all.

It's simply because this material and fabric are utterly incapable of withstanding the immense strength of the Deepsea Hunter. A mere swing of his arm would tear the clothes apart.

"Next time, wear a skirt..."

The skirt was specially made by Skadi, White Night, and the Rhodes Island operators. It is made of relatively strong fabric and can withstand Laurentina's strength to the greatest extent possible.

As for Skadi and Gretia?

Their clothes were primitive suits brought out from the deep sea, so they fit them perfectly.

"If Skadi were here, she would probably say some harsh words... but she's too soft-hearted, she probably wouldn't go that far."

Laurentina grumbled, picked something up from the ground, and then stepped over the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood (seriously) and walked towards Bai Ye's location.

-------------------------------------

Looks like you got scammed.

Bai Ye toyed with the arrow in his hand, straightening the arrowhead that had bent after hitting the barrier.

Platinum Heartreya remained silent.

At this moment, she understood why Qingjin was unwilling to take on this task and instead recommended herself to the board of directors.

Laughing to death, I can't beat him at all.

That guy, Blue Gold Roy, definitely knows something, otherwise he would have taken action himself.

"As expected, they didn't tell you anything about me, did they?" Looking at Bai Jin's expression, Bai Ye knew that this guy was completely unaware of his own strength.

"What a pity, little Pegasus." Bai Ye gently pulled the arrowhead off the shaft and then flung it out.

The speed was too fast; even Hinterlea had no time to react. She simply closed her eyes instinctively.

The arrow grazed her hair as it flew past, and the girl could even feel the stinging sensation on her cheek caused by the wind pressure.

A few strands of white hair fell to the ground...

Chapter Twenty-Three: Adulterers

'Am I going to die?'

This was the last thought that surfaced in the girl's mind after she closed her eyes.

Although she had long been prepared to walk with death after doing this job for so long, she realized that she was far from ready when death actually came to her side.

Only a few enlightened individuals can see the line between life and death in stride and face the end of their lives with equanimity.

However, in the next instant, Platinum was surprised to find that the emotions surfacing in her heart seemed to be not only fear, but also vaguely mixed with relief.

Yes, she didn't know how long she could stay in this position. Assassins of the Unarmored Alliance never retired, nor did they ever have a peaceful end.

The end of a career signifies the end of life.

If the end comes on this day, and in this way, perhaps it's not a bad ending; at least, it's a relief.

Finally, Platinum became incredibly calm, and the spasms that had been throbbing with fear and surprise subsided.

However, as if in jest, the arrowhead shot by the opponent grazed her hair, and all Bai Jin could feel was the stinging pain on her cheek caused by the wind pressure.

They weren't even injured.

"boom--"

The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the wall, leaving a small but deep crater.

"Oh dear, I accidentally slipped," Bai Ye said with a light laugh. "Little Pegasus, it seems you've escaped with your life today."

After saying this, Bai Ye slowly walked towards the alley entrance.

Platinum remained motionless, even believing that the enemy was deliberately toying with her, like a film that had caught its prey.

Every second felt incredibly long. The girl tilted her head back, waiting for death's scythe to touch her neck, like a tragically beautiful swan.

However, after a long time, the stinging pain never came.

Platinum couldn't hold back any longer, and she cautiously opened her eyes.

There was no one around; the other person had already left.

Only then did Hinterlea realize that she had survived.

She gasped for breath and slid weakly down against the wall, only then realizing that she was completely soaked.

Turning her head, she realized that her target, the young man named Bai Ye, had already reached the alley entrance.

At the exit, Bai Ye's companion was waiting for him, carrying a whole bunch of unidentified things in her hands.

Platinum understood that her failure was inevitable, or rather, she had been betrayed by Blue Gold again.

The Unarmored Alliance must have concealed crucial information from her, and even from the Business Federation. And she, in turn, became a pawn used to test their strength.

The only thing that wasn't planned was that she survived.

But what will we face next?

Platinum shook his head.

She'd had enough.

"Looks like I need to start thinking about my future too..."

Having faced the brink of life and death, Hinterlea made a certain decision for the first time.

Then, the girl overheard the conversation between the two people at the alley entrance.

……

"It seems you finished yours quite quickly."

"I got a little too irritable... so I finished it a bit faster. But you, didn't you try to kill me?"

"It would have been a pity to kill him, so I held back. After all, the other side didn't go for the kill at first, so it's just a matter of reciprocity."

……

Bai Jin suddenly realized why she had survived.

Perhaps she should be thankful that she didn't act on her own initiative but strictly followed the board's orders. This, in turn, saved her life.

-------------------------------------

"I always have this feeling that I've done something in an alley and then come out pulling up my pants..."

Bai Ye complained somewhat helplessly.

"And then there's a girl inside who you've ruined?" Laurentina chimed in with a smile.

"Nonsense, I was just joking with her." Bai Ye sighed. "Now we can confirm that the Unarmored Alliance and the Business Alliance are not completely subordinate to each other. At least, they each have their own agendas."

"It's really complicated," Laurentina remarked emotionlessly. In any case, no matter what kind of conspiracy or trickery it was, it didn't matter to them.

After all, as Bai Ye said, power is the only reason to be king.

……

"What's the situation on your end?"

Bai Ye was a little curious.

“They’re all just insignificant nobodys…” Laurentina said, raising her left hand and waving it at Bai Ye.

It was a series of badges and tags stained with blood, which appeared to be identification documents belonging to the Unarmored Alliance assassins.

Yes, these Knight Assassins don't really have any secrecy. They often openly and directly go to people's homes to take away knights for investigation, so each Knight Assassin has their own identity badge.

It was as if they were afraid others wouldn't know that they were the ones who did these things.

At this moment, these badges were held in Ghost Shark's hands like wind chimes, tinkling. Some of them seemed to have suffered some terrible blow, twisted into a strange shape, while others looked as if they had been squeezed by someone, with delicate fingerprints left on them.

The hard metal nameplate was rendered almost indistinguishable from clay by the deep-sea hunter's monstrous strength.

"It seems we'll have a gift for our next meeting. It wouldn't be very appropriate to go empty-handed." Bai Ye reached out and accepted the badge of the Unarmored Alliance Knight Assassin.

"The rest of the time belongs to us, right?" Ghost Shark stretched and relaxed her body. The battle just now hadn't taken much to her liking; she was more concerned about the date that had been interrupted earlier.

Bai Ye glanced at the girl's tattered clothes and her hands, which were still dripping with blood, and couldn't help but laugh:

"This way of being doesn't seem quite right either."

"Damn it." Ghost Shark's face darkened once again.

If it weren't for those guys interfering, her plan would have gone quite smoothly.

Let's do it together again next time.

Bai Ye gently stroked the nun's hair, calming the ghost shark down.

"This boring game of pretend can finally be over."

Bai Ye didn't like living under constant surveillance, so now she could set up a barrier at any time. Acting all the time was exhausting.

"You're not simply letting that little Pegasus go, are you?" Ghost Shark suddenly asked.

"I can't hide it from you after all."

Bai Ye took out the terminal, and on the electronic map, the signal representing Platinum was flashing...

Chapter Twenty-Four is not recommended to be viewed while eating.

Hintelia slowly stood up from the ground, supporting herself against the wall.

After sitting quietly for a while, she finally calmed down.
