The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN turned towards the entrance when he heard the door opening. He saw Shen Ji Yun and Dusk walking in. He looked at Shen Ji Yun and silently asked with his eyes if everything was now okay. The other nodded, showing that he quickly understood Luo Yan.

He then looked at the dragon. Duskʼs expression seemed to have returned to normal. But when he glanced at Shirayuki, his expression contorted again as if he was constipated or something.

”This king- no, I donʼt have any memories of the things you have said. So, so when I got them all back, I will return here and answer all the questions you have asked.”

Luo Yan was a bit surprised seeing this kind of initiative from Dusk. The other even did not use ʼthis kingʼ to refer to himself and simply just use ʼIʼ, showing that he wanted to talk to Shirayuki as equals and that what he said just now was full of sincerity. Luo Yan glanced at the female kitsune to see her reaction.

Shirayukiʼs gentle blue eyes showed surprise. But that ripple quickly returned to normal. She avoided the dragonʼs gaze and looked down. ”You better remember what you just said. If you ever renege on your words,” she looked up and narrowed her eyes at the dragon. ”I will hunt you down until you give me those answers.”

Dusk looked like he was about to explode hearing what the other said. Probably because he didnʼt like that what she was implying about him reneging on his promise. But he soon controlled his temper and made himself calm. ”This ki- no, I mean, I know. You donʼt have to worry, that wonʼt ever happen.”

”It better.”

Shen Ji Yun and Dusk then sat back to their seats.

”Whatʼs your plan after this?” Shirayuki then asked.

”We will go to the dragon clan and investigate the things that happened during the war,” Luo Yan answered. ”After that, weʼll go to Achaeus.”

Dusk showed a determined yet vengeful expression when he heard that. As if he was already imagining the torture he would inflict to those enemies.

Shirayuki nodded. ”If you need any help, I could send some of our warriors with you. I would volunteer to go myself but I canʼt leave the village. The barrier protecting the whole village is connected to me. As well as the illusion covering the shrine. As long as Iʼm alive, the barrier wonʼt crumble. But the condition is that I canʼt leave the village.”

Luo Yan remembered earlier when he was fighting with those two male kitsunes. Shirayuki quickly came to their aid, showing that she readily felt the presence of intruders. It probably had something to do with the illusion being connected to her.

”For the time being, thereʼs no need for any additional help,” he said. ”But if a situation arises that needed your tribeʼs help, we will immediately send a message to you.”

Although heʼs not really planning to do that. These demon foxes might just be NPCs. But once they died during a hidden task, then their codes would also be forever gone.

That was something he also just learned recently. Hidden tasks were tasks that could only be done once. Itʼs not like the other types of tasks in which one could repeatedly do it. Hidden tasks were like part of Arcadiaʼs whole story line. So, everything that happened in a hidden task was resolute.

For example, if an NPC died, then he would disappear forever from the game. The same thing could be said for places and other things. This way, the continuity of the story line would be assured.

Luo Yan didnʼt want any members of the demon fox tribe to be implicated in whatever they had to do next. These NPCs had already suffered enough. Besides, itʼs not as if he and Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt handle the dragon clan and those dark mages. With the two of them working together and with the help of Eclipse and Dusk, what else could they not accomplish?

”Thereʼs no need for that. With this kingʼs presence, thereʼs even no need for the qilin or the moon elf. This king will definitely obliterate them.”

Shirayuki only gave Dusk a condescending gaze as if she was looking at a fool before turning his attention back to Luo Yan. ”Then I shall await your message. By the way, if you want to enter the village, you can simply ask Eclipse to teleport you here directly. Because heʼs now recognized by the Elementum as the leader of our tribe, as long as heʼs willing, he could easily come and go here.”

That was a nice surprise. – Luo Yan thought. He couldnʼt always be with Eclipse. So, it would be great if the little fox could enjoy being with his tribe during the times that he wasnʼt in the game.

Just talking after that, the door to where Eclipse was suddenly opened. And a boy with long black hair and sleepy sapphire blue eyes walked out slowly. It seemed that he wasnʼt still used to walking. When he fully opened his eyes and saw his beloved master, the fluffy five tails behind him wagged and he flung himself to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan reflexively opened his arms and not let the boy be hurt by his sudden action. ”Is Eclipse already feeling better?” he asked, smiling down gently at the boy.

Eclipse raised his head and nodded enthusiastically. ”For some reason, Eclipse felt more powerful than ever. By the way, Mashter, where are we?”

”Weʼre at your auntʼs house.”

Eclipseʼs expression showed confusion when he heard that. As if he was not sure if he heard his master correctly. ”Eclipse has an aunt?”

As an answer, Luo Yan turned Eclipse to where Shirayuki was sitting. Although the other still looked as gentle as ever, he could still see the nervousness in her eyes. Probably because this was the official meeting between the two.

”Hello, Eclipse, Iʼm your aunt. My name is Shirayuki,” the female kitsune first greeted the little boy.

Because Luo Yan was holding Eclipse, he immediately felt his body stiffened. Then, the next instance, the little boy suddenly buried his face on Luo Yanʼs chest.

”Whatʼs wrong?”

And then Eclipse answered in a muffled voice that only he could hear. ”Sheʼs so pretty. Eclipse is feeling shy.”
