A few kilometers away from Lilith’s current location was a group of fifteen men. They were dressed in black; these men were moving at a fast speed.
The leader of this group had deep red hair and red eyes; he was a bit handsome; however, this red-haired man was frowning; he had the feeling that something bad was going to happen to them; his instinct was telling him that since last night.
However, he dismissed it, thinking it was his imagination, but today his instinct was screaming since the morning, telling him to take his men and quickly flee, abandoning this mission. He tried to contact Lanoz and Vins to know how was things going on their side; unfortunately, he failed to contact them.
”Let’s move cautiously.” The man ordered his men as they slowed down their speed. Whatever gave him this feeling, he would soon find it and eliminate it. He couldn’t fail this mission.
By now, Kryl (the leader’s name) knew that something wasn’t right; still, he decided to continue forward, knowing that something was amiss. For Kryl, no matter what he may encounter, he was sure to face it without any fear with his men. ‘It’s not like we are going into the core region. There’s nothing to fear.’ Kryl thought.
Half an hour later, Kryl and his men stopped because in front of them was a white-haired girl. She sat on a tree trunk, legs crossed. Not too far from her was Vin’s body.
Kryl and his men’s eyes turned red in anger; they started emitting powerful killing intent.
Kryl suddenly asked indifferently; his voice carried a trace of anger; looking at him, it seemed he could kill Lilith with a slap. His voice was laced with killing intent.
”You there who did this?”
Lilith didn’t even bother looking at the angered Kryl, nor did she answer Kryl’s question. To her, he was just an ant that she could kill whenever she wanted. Kryl was so angered that he almost killed the girl who was their target. Still, he managed to restrain himself because he would be killed if he killed this girl; his master won’t let him off, and even his entire family would suffer his master’s wrath if he did that.
Also, he didn’t know why but since they stopped in front of this girl. His instinct had been ringing like an alarm bell. It could only mean one thing, which was that this girl was dangerous.
Hence, he became more vigilant toward this White-haired girl who showed no signs of fear in facing fifteen men who were showing hostilities. After all, they are fifteen powerful men. Seven Peak level 5 Origin masters, Four Early level 4 Origin masters, and four middle-rank level 4 origin masters. Kryl was not too far from Peak of the Level 4, just a little push, and he would step into Level 3. He knows that after this mission, the pill he would get as a reward will help him advance into the early rank level 3.
Kryl’s brows furrowed, and he directed his killing intent toward the white-haired girl; he was expecting the girl, that looked like a white porcelain doll, to tremble. Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the girl didn’t even show any reaction, even facing his full killing intent as if his killing intent was like a breeze caressing her smooth face.
Finally, Lilith decided to speak; however, what she said angered Kryl’s men.
”Now that you have come. Let’s end this boring game. I must join my partner soon.”
”Impudent, Who do you think you are? Just a little girl. Guys, let immediately catch her and give her a few slaps, like that she will know how to speak to an elder in the future.” said one of Kryl’s men, a Peak level 5 Origin master
Although his strength could not be considered as the top compared to the others, he was one step away from that realm. Besides, with their leader Kryl here, there is nothing to fear, he thought.
Lilith smiled when she heard what that origin master had said. She stood up; immediately an, immense pressure fell on everybody present.
Those origin that were shouting earlier immediately closed their mouths. Their eyes were filled with nothing but fear; they were so scared that they started trembling; they finally knew why this girl had been so daring earlier. She was more powerful than them, it was her that killed Vins, and she had already eliminated the other, and judging by the pressure she was emitting, she’s undoubtedly someone close to Level 3. This was totally absurd, totally unheard of. She has concealed herself so well that even their leaders were fooled by her strength; maybe nobody in the school knows about this girl’s true strength. They were going to die here, they thought.
Kryl was also scared; he kept his composure while his mind went overdrive thinking about a possible solution to overcome this crisis; finally, he decided to sacrifice himself and a few others as well. Simply because he knew that Lilith’s current strength was that of a half-step Level 3(A/N: Someone extremely closer to Level 3) as the other thought, he was planning to do this with one goal in mind, which was to inform their leaders about this girl’s true strength. If his family member was this powerful, how powerful was that man? He asked himself.
Others may not know about the whole thing, but Kryl was different; he was blessed with a bit of intelligence; hence he held a special position inside the assassin guild. He knew about their plan, not to be more accurate; it was his suggestions. He suggested this kind of plan to his vice leader.
Therefore, one of them must inform his master about this discovery. This girl would not let them go easily; however, he and the other were not weak; they would try to earn a little time for themselves; if the seven use this chance wisely, one of them may be able to escape.
Kryl discussed of his plan with the others; they quickly agreed to sacrifice their lives for seven men to escape to inform their leaders.
“Lance, take the other with you and escape back. It would be best if you informed our leaders about this girl’s strength; she is already closer to level 3, a half-step Level 3 Origin master, and the true target is also probably hiding his strength. Quickly go.” Kryl sends a mental transmission to Lance (the strongest after him.)
When Lance heard about this information, his body trembled, and his legs almost turned soft. Still, he braced himself before starting running with the other seven; soon, they disappeared from Lilith and other views.
Lilith did nothing but only watched Lance and the other five peak level 5 Origin masters disappear with an expressionless faces. She knows why they left. Normally, she would have stopped them; however, she was rather lazy to take care of those small fries.
Kryl and the remaining men signed in relief when they saw she was not going after those that had just left.
‘Maybe, she thought she could quickly take care of us and pursue them later.’ The eight who stayed behind thought.
They looked at each other and nodded; they decided to attack her; however, before they could make a move. Lilith did something that left them confused. She let out a loud whistle; her whistle could be heard a hundred kilometers away. Kryl and others did not understand why she did that.
What Kryl and his men did not know was that after Lilith whistled, in another location, in the wind wolf’s’ territory, there were a lot of wolves and when they heard the whistle, they knew what it meant, it was their master’s order. The leader of this Wind Wolve’s pack stood up and howled. He was the biggest and tallest wolf among the others present here; he had a grey fur. His height was around ten meters.
A-whooo!
A-whooo!
A-whooo!!!!!!
The other wolves howled after their leader, and soon the sound of thousand wind wolves could be heard as they disappeared from their territory, running at an extremely fast speed; their direction was the same as Lance and the other six escaping back to the capital.
Meanwhile, Lilith smiled after hearing her subordinates’ howls; she knew they would carry her order and slaughter those seven Peak level 5 Origin masters.
Kryl and the other felt chill down their spines when they heard the sound of wolves howling. They looked at the smiling Lilith and felt extreme fear; they refused to believe their assumption. How could they believe that this girl could command wolves at will? It’s impossible. This surpassed their scope of understanding. They thought they could earn a little bit of time for others to flee and inform their masters about their discovery. Now that this girl commanded wolves to assault Lance and the others, they were forced to change their plan.
”What the hell is happening?” They were confused.
They didn’t know Lilith had already put the wolves under her command through hypnosis.
