Seeing the soldiers on the city wall, light finally appeared in the Blood Cult Leader's eyes.
"Soldier brother! Please listen to me..."
"Swoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of a crossbow bolt cutting through air, his voice suddenly disappeared.
The Blood Cult Leader looked down at his body in shock.
A crossbow bolt had pierced through his throat.
No, this was impossible.
Clearly... those people were still so far away from him...
As a powerful mage, the Blood Cult Leader's life wasn't immediately ended. He desperately turned around and looked—just ten meters away from him—a pink-haired girl was loading a second crossbow bolt.
He desperately reached out his hand toward her, hoping to gain her mercy.
However, what answered him was the second crossbow bolt.
This bolt directly pierced through his skull.
The Blood Cult Leader's life thus came to an end.
[Congratulations to host for killing the Blood Cult Leader, slightly changing humanity's fate]
[Task Reward: Ten thousand gold coins, deposited into Elasia's treasury]
Looking at the task reward, Elashia showed a satisfied smile.
According to the original plot, after escaping to Elasia, the Blood Cult Leader would pretend to be an ordinary person attacked by bandits, gain the soldiers' protection, and survive.
Eventually killing the soldiers who protected him and escaping.
After he escaped back to the Holy Kingdom, it wouldn't take long for him to recover his original strength of at least level thirty.
Finally becoming one of the strongest enemies in the Holy Kingdom besides the Holy Empress.
Moreover, this guy was not only powerful but also extremely cunning, cruel, and had no moral bottom line whatsoever.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been able to climb from an ordinary person to the position of Blood Cult Leader.
When playing the game, Elashia could be said to hate this guy to the extreme.
The reason was simple—the Blood Cult Leader's behavior reminded Elashia of some unpleasant things in reality.
This type of person acts like a dog to superiors, a fox to colleagues, and a wolf to subordinates.
Watching the Blood Cult Leader bow and scrape to the Blood Clans, then turn around and casually kill innocent people in the Holy Kingdom for fun, Elashia while playing the game almost wished she could transmigrate in and give him two punches.
But what was hateful was—no matter which story line, this guy never died, and in most lines he lived happily and carefree.
This made Elashia feel utterly powerless.
But now it was good. ^-^
In the game I was submissive, in reality I strike with heavy fists!
The Blood Cult Leader was now dead beyond any possibility of revival.
To ensure he wouldn't fake his death, Elashia even somewhat cruelly added a few more arrows, then drew her sword and stabbed him several times.
"Alright, mission accomplished!"
After leaving a piece of paper and a map on the Blood Cult Leader's corpse, Elashia activated stealth again and disappeared into the darkness.
When the Northern Fire members responsible for the assassination operation arrived, only a corpse full of arrows remained on the ground.
"Everyone be careful! This could be his conspiracy!"
Squad Leader Catherine, who had sufficient understanding of the Blood Cult Leader, immediately signaled her team members not to move.
[Battle Technique: Sacred Shield Protection]
Catherine's black robe and mask glowed with golden light, and only then did she dare approach the Blood Cult Leader.
After repeated confirmation, she finally reached the conclusion—someone had killed him before they arrived.
"Who could it be? It couldn't be the Elasians, could it?"
Catherine, as a natural assassin, had extremely strong tracking abilities for targets.
Anyone hit by her throwing knives would be [Marked] by her.
Unless she actively removed it, marked people couldn't escape detection even if they fled to the ends of the earth.
Now, she was very certain—the corpse before her with its upper body full of crossbow bolts was indeed the Blood Cult Leader they had been chasing for three full days.
She leaned closer and discovered there were two pieces of paper on the Blood Cult Leader's corpse.
She picked them up to look.
The first piece of paper was a map, and at the center of the map was... the Elasia Empire's armory!
Wasn't this military intelligence?
Without time to be surprised, Catherine immediately looked at the other piece of paper.
The second piece of paper had only one sentence.
"Meet at the Elasia Empire armory."
