Crimson Overlord-Chapter 114

”So what do you have to say?” Kaguya asked Orpheus with her arms crossed. She was not feeling happy to have been put into something dangerous.

”It was fun, right? You even earned two thousand points. So why are you complaining? Let’s earn some more.” Orpheus said before dragging Kaguya with him as they left the Core region.

”Wait!” Kaguya wanted to explore the floating castle, but Orpheus didn’t let her. After two jumps, they appeared at the edge of the Ice world and camped for the night.

“What is your goal?” She couldn’t help but ask this question as they sat around a bonfire.

”My goal? Well, my goal is to do what I want.” Orpheus responded before adding.

”You should rest tomorrow will be busy.”

She couldn’t go against his suggestion; after finishing her soup, she entered the tent to sleep.

”Good night.”

”Good night,” Orpheus responded.

He looked at the blue sky while thinking about what he should do after this expedition. He would visit Nix and Freya, but first, he should take care of the men sent by Leon.

The next day Orpheus left Kaguya to sleep as he went to play.

‘Finally!’ He mumbled after sensing a killing intent. He calmly stepped aside, dodging a dagger aimed at his heart.

However, more attacks followed suit.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Many darts were fired at him, he used [Swift] a technique combining Wind element and Lightning element to move at an extremely fast speed, and As if the darts had become slow, he used the gap between them and passed through them, reappearing on the other side, with the intention to slash at the surprised assassin, but the latter quickly recovered disappearing afterward. He only slashed at its afterimage. Orpheus chuckled before turning sideways dodging another dagger aimed at his back; without looking back, he slashed at the assassin in his back, but only to hit empty air.

Since the start of this fight against those assassins, only one minute passed, but three different assassins attacked him. He knew there were more than three assassins.

Even though they concealed their presence, he still could feel their presence; there were eleven assassins. There was even an unexpected visitor.

Orpheus shook his head and decided to concentrate on eliminating the assassins.

He clapped his hands and muttered:

[Dance Fire-Snake!]

The moment the spell was completed, a snake made of fire was shot from his flame sword toward the enemies.

One of the assassins shouted, ” No good, quickly activate your defensive shield.”

Regrettably, his warning was a step too late, the other two didn’t manage to activate their defensive shield in time before the fire snake, and the cold energy clashed, it produced a big explosion that destroyed everything around.

*KaBOOM!*

The two assassins were blown in a piece, instantly killed.

”Gaaaaah!”

The first assassin grunted in pain while he was blasted far away, he didn’t die because of his defensive shield, but he must was gravely injured.

Orpheus was perfectly calm. He reappeared beside the gravely injured assassin, he slashed at his neck, but mid-strike, he used his free hand to create a sword to block a dagger thrown at his back.

“Clank!”

Orpheus let go of his flame sword towards the gravely injured assassin’s neck and muttered in a cold voice. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

”Explode.”

*Boom!*

The flame sword exploded, killing the gravely injured assassin, and he used the explosion to escape another poisoned dart shot at him.

Three news assassins attacked Orpheus from all sides. He did nothing because someone would already take care of the assassins.

“Dare to come after someone I’m planning to make as my subordinates? It seems you have a death wish. Frozen World.”

Everything froze except Orpheus; the assassins were turned into ice sculptures, and their hearts stopped forever.

One of the strongest assassins tried to sneak attack Kaguya, but unfortunately, his eyes met Orpheus’s eyes.

”Go kill yourself.” He ordered; his command was absolute; the man disappeared to kill himself elsewhere.

The other assassins were shocked by their comrade sudden action but they decided to continue with the mission.

Meanwhile, Kaguya was not afraid being surrounded by so many enemies, after all the man beside was strong.

She was even in the mood to raise a question.

”Is it the fun game you were talking about?”

”Well, there is some unexpected visitor.”

”Principal, won’t you come out?” Orpheus added.

”What?” Kaguya was shocked.

Orpheus was looking in a particular direction when he was speaking.

“What?” The assassins were shocked, even their leader named Onze.

Nothing happened after a while, making Kaguya wonder if Orpheus was playing some kind of plank on her just to play.

Orpheus smiled at the doubtful Kaguya before looking in that particular direction once more and said.

”So, the principal would let her student die when you could have saved them.”

In the direction that Orpheus shouted at, stood a beautiful golden-haired beauty; she used space to wrap around herself, becoming invisible. This woman is precisely Jasmine Rhea Yydrassil, Nui Yydrassil’s aunt, and Heaven Star academy’s headmistress.

Jasmine was astonished hearing what Orpheus had just said. She never thought that he would notice her so easily. She came because of curiosity.

She couldn’t help but recall back, why she had decided to observe this particular student of her secretly.

????

When Jasmine was going to the world summit, her vice-principal sent her a message about how exceptional Orpheus was; he had awakened many attributes.

Jasmine was happy and decided to observe him, and he got the perfect opportunity. The mission outside, she could use this. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

On the day of departure, when she saw Orpheus, her first impression was that he was mysterious, unfathomable, as if he was a monster and he was hiding something, many secrets. She got curious and started monitoring him.

Jasmine had noticed the twenty assassins that sneaked in, and she knew who they were after and even guessed who sent them after Orpheus, but she chose to observe and only intervened when she was sure they were in extreme danger.

She was there observing Orpheus from the start; she thought she had concealed herself extremely well, and it seemed that he had been aware of her from the start. But she had to go somewhere for a while; she didn’t know they went to the Core region and returned.

Jasmine was not pleased because of Orpheus’s smile, the one he put on while asking for her intervention irked her more than anything as if he was saying; you watched for a while now it’s the time to pay your bill, by helping us of course.

Not having any other choice, she decided to show and clean up these bugs. Well, she would use them to vent her frustrations.

Jasmine smiled, an extremely beautiful smile as she muttered under her breath

”I want to know more about you, Kyle.”

Unbeknownst to Jasmine, she was slowly falling into Orpheus’s trap, which was to make her obsessed with his secrets and slowly get her.

Onze wanted to speak, but he was forced to shut up because suddenly an immense pressure descended on everybody, everything came to a standstill. The world trembled before,

“Rip!!”

Space was ripped in two, forming a horizontal gash, and behind that horizontal gash, a figure came; it was an extremely beautiful woman. Her height is around 1,71 m; she has golden hair and green eyes, white skin with nice proportion; even though she was dressed rather conservatively, it did nothing to hide her hourglass figure and curvy body. With her elongated ears, you will know that she is a high elf.

This woman is the principal of Star and Nui Yydrassil’s aunt, Jasmine Rhea Yydrassil.

Onze’s expression became pale, and he muttered

”Impossible, how can she be here? It’s over. ”

Jasmine spoke in an Ice cold voice that sent a shiver to everyone’s spine, excluding Orpheus.

”Will you kill yourself, or do I need to do it in your stead.”

“Run!!” Onze shouted.

Regrettably, Jasmine had already made her move. She made and slashing motion with her white hand, and the world, no space, was cut into two; Onze and the remaining four assassins were cleaved into two parts, slowly falling apart. It looks extremely gory.

As if she had down something trivial, she looked in the direction of the incoming last assassin, Dix, the leader of the now-extinct assassin squad. She didn’t say anything, but Dix immediately fled, abandoning the mission; he didn’t forget to send a message to Leon informing them of the mission’s failure and warning them not to try to visit their headquarters ever again.

‘This woman is scary, but I started to like her more and more.’ Orpheus was pleased with Jasmine.

She looked at him for a few seconds before throwing a healing pill in his direction; he caught it, slightly and said.

“Thank you”

Jasmine nodded and looked at him again; she sent him a message via mental transmission.

”I’m sure without my help, you could have to fend off by yourself. I’ll uncover all your secrets soon.”

“Haha, I wonder about that. Don’t worry; I will come to you soon.” Orpheus responded with a smile.

Jasmine’s eyes widened; she never thought that he would reply; she smiled before disappearing.
