The Return Of The God Level Assassin

IT was just as Luo Yan thought. He could already make a narrative based on the information he had gathered so far. The deal between the Western dragon clan and the dark mages most likely involved Dusk and his mother.

It might have gone like this; The dragon clan agreed to betray Dusk in exchange the dark mages should heal their lady. Of course, those dark mages wouldnʼt do that for free and they wouldnʼt just be satisfied with the fact that the war would end sooner. They must have wanted something from the dragon clan to even propose such a deal.

Yes, Luo Yan believed that it was the dark mages who proposed such a deal. With how proud the dragons were, they would never propose something like that on their own initiative.

What the dark mages wanted must have had something to do with Duskʼs missing demonic trait. Thereʼs a high chance that they were the ones who extracted it or something. If that was the case, why not kill Dusk after taking that instead of sealing him in the moon elvesʼ forest using the Eternal Lotus?

The only answer he could think of was because they still needed him. But for what? What could have they been planning that a thousand years was not enough to prepare? Because that was how long Dusk was frozen in time in the Silent Marsh.

The dark mages needed demonic energy. The fact that they made a deal with the dragon clan just to get it from Dusk meant that they needed a specific demonic energy. Which meant that the energy they needed must come from the archdemon that fathered Dusk. And since the other was already dead, they could only take it from his son.

Thereʼs a high chance that Duskʼs father might not be just an ordinary archdemon. Thereʼs definitely something special to him that those dark mages needed him for whatever plan they were concocting. Since they took what they needed from Dusk, Luo Yan could only think of this possibility.

That the archdemon must have been purposely hiding his presence from the world for some reason. Thatʼs why when those dark mages started searching for him, it was too late because he was already dead at that time.

And it just so happened that at that time, they attacked the demon foxʼs village and accidentally discovered Duskʼs presence. They might even have pushed the war through just so they could get their hands on him. And since they didnʼt kill him right away after extracting his demonic traits, that meant that they still have a need for his body.

Of course, all of these were just Luo Yanʼs assumption. Thereʼs a chance that he got something wrong or maybe he got everything wrong. He would be happy if he was correct. But he would probably also feel a bit complicated. Because being right meant that he shared the same wavelength as those game devs who loved dog-blooded plot.

[Well, thatʼs also some kind of talent, I guess.]

He turned his gaze back to Rowan. He could ask this dragon to check if all his assumptions were correct. But thereʼs a chance that the spell put on him would activate again and Luo Yan wouldnʼt get the answer he wanted. In short, it would just be a waste of time.

”You, is there someone in your valley right now that can give a clear detail on that thing you canʼt speak of?” he asked. Then, he raised his dagger and continued with a smile, ”You understand what I mean, right?”

The red dragon nodded enthusiastically. ”I- I understand. Thereʼs someone in the valley right now who can satisfy you and answer all your questions!”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. Looking at the otherʼs shining eyes, it seemed like he couldnʼt wait to transfer the role of being interrogated to someone else.

”Who is it?” he asked.

”Itʼs the oracle. He would definitely have all the answers!”

The oracle? Luo Yan had heard of this person being mentioned when they were still in the valley. According to what Rowan said earlier when he was still being an arrogant ass, this oracle made a prophecy about a group of people who would come to the valley and destroy it.

”Why could he give me the answer while you couldnʼt?” he asked.

After all, if this oracle could answer his questions regarding the deal between the dragons and the dark mages, that meant that he was also there during the war and his position was also pretty high. Why couldnʼt he be affected by the skill of those dark mages then? Unless…

”Because heʼs not a dragon,” Rowan answered, confirming Luo Yanʼs guess. ”Heʼs a dark mage.”

Luo Yan grinned when he heard that.

”Captain, is Mashter still having a heart-to-heart talk with that red lizard?”

Shen Ji Yun scratched his cheek when he heard Eclipseʼs question. When the other asked him earlier what Luo Yan was doing, he just said the first thing that came to his mind.

Itʼs a bit cringy, but at least Eclipse wouldnʼt think that his master was torturing someone right now. But honestly, considering the personality programmed into Eclipse, this kid might not even be bothered by that. Maybe he would even join Luo Yan and find it fun.

Before answering, he glanced at where Luo Yan was and saw that his rabbit was already walking towards them. ”No, I think heʼs already done.”

Eclipse followed Shen Ji Yunʼs gaze and his sapphire blue eyes brightened when he saw his master. ”Mashter!”

Then, he covered his mouth and looked down at the still unconscious Dusk. He looked worried that the other might wake up because of his loud voice.

Shen Ji Yun noticed that and said, ”Donʼt worry, Dusk looks pretty out of it right now. He wouldnʼt wake up with just that.”

But instead of not worrying, Eclipse just looked even more worried. ”Poor uncle, he must be in so much pain.”

Shen Ji Yun was quite surprised. It seemed that Eclipse was really treating Dusk as his godfather. One couldnʼt really tell based on how much he was always teasing the other.

It was then that Luo Yan arrived.

Shen Ji Yun turned to Luo Yan. ”Did you get everything you needed?”

Luo Yan smiled and gave an ʼokayʼ sign. ”Yes.”
