His mission today was to assassinate Master Shenzu, one of the three A-level masters in the camp.
Now, there are three A-levels here, [Impermanence] Xie An, [Blood Demon] Rick, and [Acetic] Venerable Shenzu.
As for the first two, one has very strong mental power, and Kalfid cannot guarantee a stable kill; the other has very strong vitality, and cannot be taken down in a short time. A protracted battle will attract other people.
The last guy was easier to deal with.
An old man whose occupational trait is to sacrifice physical strength to enhance magical ability.
Moreover, one can gain strength by causing harm to oneself.
In addition, he came and went without a trace. Although they could sense his presence, when the war started, they would be easily ambushed by him.
Now, we can see that inside the camp, a figure wrapped in white mist is moving among the crowd and swaggering towards the tent where Venerable Shenzu is, but no one notices it.
He simply pulled open the curtain, and the guards outside the tent didn't notice.
Now, in front of Carlfield, a skinny old man was sitting cross-legged on a straw mat, seemingly practicing some kind of spiritual practice.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes.
"Nothing? I seemed to have sensed something just now. Was it an illusion, or was it some kind of omen?
This is so strange. Since yesterday, I have been feeling uneasy for no apparent reason. Something must be wrong...
But, there is obviously not much movement from the demon side."
Because he was worried, he even used his skill, Supernatural Power, to sense the environment within at least one thousand meters around him.
Still the same, nothing.
"Then there is nothing we can do. Keep practicing and improve your 'hard work' state. Then it will be safer when the time comes."
The old man closed his eyes again and entered a state of cultivation.
And Kalfid had already arrived in front of him, and the distance between them was only one meter.
In his hand was a black dagger.
There was a breath of death lingering on it, and inside the dagger was endless wailing.
This is Dista's weapon, the Dagger of Hatred. If an attack causes even a slight scratch on the skin, it will lead to the erosion of negative emotions and internal destruction.
This is the best weapon for assassination. Although Dista has sent it, other demon leaders can still use his weapon.
Slowly moving around behind the old man, Kalfid studied the enemy in front of him.
A human being, so old, actually came here to fight against them?
"Old man, you are old, don't work so hard... Let me give you a quick death, and let you rest in peace."
"Pfft."
The intense pain made him open his eyes.
His heart had been shattered by the dagger of hatred.
That dark power was still corroding his internal organs.
It was the enemy, he understood what was happening.
He opened his mouth, wanting to call for help, and tried to summon his strength to attract other people's attention.
However, it is impossible. This place is already surrounded by white fog, and there is no way to get out.
Perhaps because he was about to die, in this situation, his professional ability was maximized and his consciousness temporarily broke through the blockade of the white fog.
He saw Karlfid behind him.
He remembered the adventurers who had been devoured in front of him before.
His pupils dilated and his breathing quickened.
"You...you...a devil, you are..."
Before he could finish, his body lost strength and he could only weakly close his eyes and lower his head.
Just like that, the A-rank adventurer, the [Acetic Monk], and the Divine Foot Venerable died without even a fight taking place.
There was a huge hole in his heart, and black blood was flowing out of it.
However, this time the body was not wrapped in white mist.
Having completed his mission, Kalfid left.
Since the war hasn't officially started yet, he plans to continue creating chaos in this camp.
Five minutes later, screams were heard, breaking the silence of the camp.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"
There were two guards outside the tent. The rusty smell of blood had already spread, and they both realized that something was wrong.
Then, he opened the curtain and took a look.
All I saw were corpses.
Others also noticed the commotion here, and the other two A-levels arrived at the first opportunity.
"How is it? Can you see anything?"
When several senior executives came over, [Wu Chang] and [Blood Demon] were checking the corpse.
“It has only been a short time since he died. His body is still very fresh. He must have been dead for no more than ten minutes.
The murderer should not have escaped yet.
Then, there was no sign of struggle or resistance, the enemy was killed in one blow, so there might be some hidden ability.
The rest, I can’t tell.”
This is the result of the Blood Demon's inspection.
"What I found is even worse. His soul is gone. The enemy might be good at psychic abilities. They should be those demons."
Everyone was in a very bad mood because it meant that an A-level demon was now in the camp, and they couldn't find it.
Chapter 214: Chaos Begins
Regarding the current situation, the idea of the two A-level officials and the top management is to ensure that this news does not spread as much as possible and cause unnecessary panic.
However, the commotion just now was quite loud. There were at least C-level adventurers in this camp, so it couldn’t be concealed.
An A-level demon blatantly killed A-level adventurers in the camp where adventurers gathered. This matter must be investigated.
"From now on, the two of us cannot separate. That guy has a strong hiding ability and the power to kill with one strike. If we act alone, the possibility of being ambushed is very high."
[Wu Chang] made a suggestion, and [Xue Mo] expressed that he agreed very much.
Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so life is still the most important.
The two of them first comforted the adventurers who had gathered together, saying that the murderer would be caught soon, and then asked them to go back and rest.
Then, they brought several senior leaders to the center of the camp.
In order to ensure safety and prevent enemy infiltration, a lot of monitoring equipment has been installed in this camp.
These instruments were hidden using special skills, and they had just confirmed that the instruments near Venerable Shenzu were not damaged.
"...I hope I can find out the enemy's situation, or at least what he looks like."
Open the record, lock on a few necessary surveillance clips, and drag the time to before and after the assassination.
Then, ten minutes passed.
Their expressions became more and more serious and worse.
No, nothing.
They saw nothing on the surveillance camera. The guards outside the tent did not respond, and there was no change in the tent.
From the time Venerable Shenzu had breakfast and returned to the tent until they came to check on the situation, they found nothing unusual.
But this is the biggest suspicion.
Whether it is optical invisibility or magical invisibility, there should be at least some traces.
"Could it be a spatial ability? That's not right. The fluctuations of spatial movement are very obvious. It's impossible for him to have no reaction at all...
There was no sign of fighting there, and if it weren't for the two guards, we wouldn't even know anything was wrong."
At this time, a person in charge came over.
"You two, we found something at the scene, and we hope you can come and take a look."
"Oh, really? Any clues?"
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
They returned to the crime scene, where the old man's body was still there. There were several Class Bs on guard, and the representative of the Van Country was arguing with a person in charge outside.
“I want to take our strong man away now. His body should not remain here any longer.
Moreover, he died inexplicably before the battle even began. You, the World Adventurers Association, must give me an explanation."
He was very angry and anxious. After much difficulty, the country sent out two free A-level soldiers, but now one of them was gone...
He could already foresee what would happen if the information got back to the country.
He has many disciples, and because of his ascetic deeds, he also has many admirers.
At that time, if the murderer cannot be caught and the old man's body is left here, I, as the representative, will most likely have to take the blame.
However, the person in charge was unable to respond to his dissatisfaction.
"I said, this is the crime scene, we can't destroy it. This is what the other two people meant...
Ah, you two are here, please come in, we have just made a new discovery."
Seeing the two A-level people coming, the person in charge also breathed a sigh of relief.
The representative of the Vatican was also silent.
Two people came into the tent. The old man's body had been moved away. They saw a lighter word "fog" on the straw mat where the old man was sitting.
Maybe it was because it was under the old man’s butt that the murderer didn’t find it.
Fog? What does that mean?
This clue should have been left by Venerable Shenzu, but there was only one word, which was too abstract and they couldn't understand what it meant.
“Could it be that the demon can transform into mist?
If I turn into gas, I can enter the tent and kill the person without being detected?"
"It feels possible. This might explain why there are no traces of the enemy. But, I always feel that..."
There are no other clues at the moment, so this is all they can assume for now.
In this case, the identity of the enemy was clear, and the two men came to the sky above the camp, trying to sense the fog that might exist in the camp to the greatest extent possible.
However, they turned a blind eye to Kalfid who was right below them.
Nothing? Did the enemy go back after completing the mission?
[Impermanence] I still feel there is a problem, but there is no way to prove it.
Well then, let's close the case and go appease the other adventurers.
He informed a person in charge that he was going to clarify the situation, and the two of them followed him for safety reasons.
Behind him, Carlfield also followed slowly.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
Here, is the center of the camp, and many adventurers gathered around, hoping to get an explanation.
The person in charge took the results obtained from Level A and began to report.
“Everyone, I know that everyone is very uneasy right now because of the death of Venerable Shenzu.
But please rest assured, the two adults have confirmed that the murderer was a mist-like thing and has now left.
Please rest assured, I..."
"..."
