Chapter 186: Sal’s favourite.

" You could put it that way." Melinda’s lips broke into an awkward smile. " Emilia, could you please help me by rushing to your Elder brothers side, I’m afraid he might’ve done something brash by taking on more than he can handle."

" Mommy, is daddy in trouble?" Sal seemed to sense his mother’s worry and also became worried.

" Of course not sweetheart, your father is completely fine. I just want your aunty to tell him to be back for lunch because I’ll be making your favourite tonight."

" Really mommy?" Sal perked up, his eyes glowing like stars.

" Shsssh, not so loud, you’ll wake your little sister." Melinda said, pressing a finger to her lips, yet at the same time, she secretly signaled for Emilia to go with her eyes.

" Mommy, could you also add my favorite toppings." Sal tugged at her shirt making her chuckle.

" Of course my dear, mommy will be sure to make it just as you like it." She smiled weakly, feeling as if she had just taken on an audacious task.

Emilia nodded before vanishing from the hallway with her vampiric speed, quickly leaving the house before morphing into a silver bat that flew within the sky above the city. Using her master-summon bond, she could sense Su Ping’s location and began heading towards it.

" Boss, Are you sure this is a good idea." Several men in black covers stood positioned on tree branches in the forest outside rose city, their figures crouched as if lying in wait.

" What do you mean. Not only did the fool finally decide to step outside his house but he even went as far as leaving the safety of the city, can’t you see that this is the opportunity the boss has been waiting for." Said another black cover, they were all trained assassin’s with the weakest amongst them being a Lvl 2 rare tier unit.

Standing on one of the forests trees was Lucas, only this time he was in his black assassin attire as well. Below the tall large trees was a path that stretched out like a bare road. Lucas had discovered Su Ping’s movements and went up ahead with his men to lay a trap here.

" Quiet. Both of you." Lucas silenced his minions with a sharp glare, he couldn’t be bordered to pay their words any head, right now, the only thing on his mind was the reward he would get from machete after killing the target.

The supreme head had been breathing down his neck lately, Impatient towards when he would finally be taking action against Marcus’s killer. Now that the opportunity had finally presented itself, he could finally deal with this nuisance once and for all.

The group of assassin’s turned silent and merged with the shadows amongst the dense canopies of the trees, lying in wait for their target.

After a long wait, they finally heard the rolling sound of a carriages wheels coming from down below.

’ Hahahaha, it’s really him!’ Lucas celebrated inwardly when he sensed the signature Lvl 2 aura he was told about from the black covered man driving the horse cart.

He glanced at his subordinates hidden amongst the trees, he made a signature rustling sound with some leaves that wasn’t too peculiar but was enough to instruct them on what to do next.

Just when the horse cart was below them, a few of them shot out swift arrows that pierced through the air at lightning speed.

They saw Su Ping stiffen instinctively, he let go of the horses reigns and leaped into the air to avoid the attack but he was a tad too slow.

A groan escaped his lips when 3 arrows pierced his flesh. He landed several meters away. Yet his feet suddenly began to grow uneasy.

Neigh!!!

The horse was startled from the attack, crying out in panic as it’s fronts hooves rose into the air. It stomped down forcefully before crying out again and speeding off with the cart.

" B-Bastards! Their poisoned!" Su Ping who wanted to chase after the cart, coughed up some blood when he realized why he suddenly felt weak.

At the same time, his eyes observed his surroundings at lightning speed, his pupils blurring as he became highly alert.

Several of the assassin’s leaped down the trees, they’re hands reached into their attire’s to pull out gleaming daggers which they brandished in broad daylight.

"..?!!!" The assassin’s who were excited suddenly paled in mid air when dark spheres began to entrap them one by one, shrinking in less than a split second after ensnaring one of them.

" He’s casting spells! Stop him!" Realizing what was happening. An assassin pulled out his bow and fired a poisoned arrow at Su Ping.

Su Ping snarled and caught the arrow with his barehand yet the tip still sliced open the flesh of his palm. The poison in the arrow also caused his heart to thump as more blood spouted from his mouth.

In a fit of rage, several tentacles shot out from dark corners within the area.

" Evade!" Shouted one of the assassin’s who suddenly burst into a flurry of black butterflies, narrowly avoiding a stabbing tentacle.

Using their skills and spells, a few of them were able to avoid the deadly tentacles, although some where unlucky and where either caught and squished to a bloody pulp or stabbed right through, dying right after.

The remaining assassin’s who survived, exchanged tactical glances.

Su Ping who began to sway from side to side due to the poison, displayed an enraged expression. He roared before summoning more tentacles to attack them, but this time, the assassin’s kept their distance while evading.

He tried to use the dark sphere on them while they were mid air but, they fired poisoned arrows at him.

Su Ping growled and willed several tentacles to converge Infront of him, blocking the attack.

" ARGGHHH!!" Su Ping cried out in pain when two blades stabbed into his ankles. He glared at the ground to see two hands swiftly retreating into the soil as if in water.

Two tentacles burrowed into the ground, chasing after the retreating hands. A few meters away, a figure leaped out of the earth, two tentacles followed closely behind but the figure twisted their body at a strange angle, avoiding the two tentacles before severing them in one swift motion.

The tentacles spouted sticky juices, wriggling in the air as if alive and in pain, they retreated back into the ground before returning to Su Ping’s side. The assassin who has escaped from below watched as their severed tips morphed like flesh before rapidly growing back into their original state.

" The damned bastard can regenerate those things as well, are we sure this man is even human?" Said one of them, his face looking grim.

" Are you sure we can even beat that thing??" Said another, looking stupefied.

" Beat it, you two must be joking, can’t you see the battle is already over–"

The instant the dual dagger assassin finished his words, they all heard a wet squelching sound.

The three remaining assassin’s saw Su Ping freeze in disbelief, his head turning around to meet the man who had stabbed his straight through from behind.

" BLERGHH!" Su Ping coughed up a huge mouthful of blood before his flesh slid of the dagger and slumped on the ground. Unlike the poisoned arrows, it seemed this dagger was far more potent.

Lucas sneered at the sight of Su Ping’s body lying immobile on the floor, his bulging eyes bloodshot yet devoid of life.

He crouched down and grabbed Su Ping’s hair before using his dagger to slice of his head.

" This much should be good enough to satisfy that old man." Lucas muttered beneath his breath before standing up.

" Huh?" Lucas blinked in confusion when he realized that his eye level hadn’t risen at all even though he had stood up.

’ Wait...that’s not it at all.’

" Is that my body?" Those were the last words Lucas muttered before his eyes went cold. His headless body dropped to it’s knees before slumping on its side with a thud.

Su Ping current stood admisst a bloody carnage of flesh and blood that was littered about all around him, all composed of the body parts of Lucas’s assassin group.

Instead of what Lucas had witnessed, that happened, what really happened was that Su Ping had plunged Lucas and his group into an illusion in the short moments they were stalking his horse cart below the trees. Unbeknownst to the, he had already discovered their gazes and pinpointed their locations.

Under the guise of his gaze roaming about, he was actually using his Dark Dragon Eyes to place them all under one big illusion, in which they had managed to get the better of him and killed him, but the truth still stood that they were the ones who truly died and not him.

Placed under illusions, one didn’t need to think much to realize what Su Ping had done to them next.

" It’s best not to waste good food."
