Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 65 Assassination
As night fell, Eli's army entered the city after cleaning up the battlefield.

Eli moved into the City Lord's Mansion with Jessica and Cecilia. Evelyn also moved in with them, but she chose a room with the worst lighting in the City Lord's Mansion and was determined not to live in the same room with Eli.

Like most of the time before, Eli held Jessica, Cecilia held Eli, and the three of them lay on the same bed in harmony and friendship.

After the fierce battle during the day, except for Eli who still had plenty of energy, both the cheerful Cecilia and the steady Jessica were exhausted at this time, so the three of them just hugged each other and did nothing.

Eli was not a sex-crazy guy, so he naturally would not pester the two tired women to get intimate with them. Instead, he let them fall asleep in his arms or on his back.

After Jessica and Cecilia fell asleep, Eli slowly closed his eyes. The sound of his even breathing soon came, and the whole room fell into silence.

After a long time, the three people who were sleeping soundly showed no signs of waking up. A wisp of black smoke suddenly floated in from the gap in the window, and then gathered into a demonic shadow out of thin air.

This demonic figure was a head taller than Eli. He was wearing extremely tight black clothes, had two horns on his head, and held a dagger that shone purple in the moonlight.

While the three people in the room were sleeping soundly, the demon shadow floated to the bedside, then silently stabbed the dagger in his hand hard, and then... steadily stabbed the pillow.

Eli, who was lying on his side in the middle of the three people, didn't even put Jessica down from his arms. He just stood up from the bed holding her in his arms, looking straight at the demon shadow who had retracted the dagger.

There was no curve at all when she wore such tight clothes. Not to mention comparing with Jessica, even Cecilia was far better than her. The female demon assassin in front of her was not only ugly and ferocious, but also had a bad figure.

Why is it different from what I saw in books in my previous life? Shouldn't a witch with perfect looks and a hot body come to assassinate the protagonist, and after the assassination fails, she is put in all kinds of postures by the protagonist, and finally taken into the harem by the unrestrained protagonist, ushering in a happy ending?
Why is it that when this kind of thing happens to me, the one who comes is an ugly female devil with a green face, fangs and a terrible body?

That's right, this female demon assassin is not an ordinary demon assassin. According to Eli's perception, she is a demon king-level strongman who is no less powerful than West. However, her combat power should be more focused on assassination, and she is not as good as West when facing the enemy head-on.

Unfortunately, Eli’s soul was specifically designed to resist assassinations, and his soul had already discovered the ugly female devil when she was still rushing to the city. Even during the battle, she took the opportunity to sneak into the city lord’s mansion and was “seen” by Eli.

Her every step was monitored in real time by Eli, and she was hooked with just a slight move.

"If you have any last words, please say them quickly. You won't have a chance if I take action."

Eli's action of getting up woke up Jessica in his arms and Cecilia behind him, but after taking a look at the assassin's appearance, the two said nothing. Judging from her appearance, the master would not show mercy, she was already a dead demon.

"Arrogant human, the great Demon King Maria will take your life!"

Even though the infiltration and assassination failed, Demon King Maria did not escape. Although the person standing in front of her was the powerful enemy who killed West, he was so foolish that he actually held a beautiful woman while fighting against a demon king. Since he was seeking death, she naturally had to help him.

While speaking, Maria stabbed Eli with a dagger in her hand. Because she no longer needed to hide, with the help of her powerful magic, she was even faster, and the dagger pierced Eli's arm as he was holding Jessica in an instant.

Maria's dagger is tempered with a magical poison. It only needs to stab the enemy, no matter where it is stabbed, it can effectively kill the enemy. Even if a Saint-level warrior is poisoned by her, he will lose his ability to fight even if he does not die on the spot. Do you want to use the beautiful woman in your arms to shield your heart? Unfortunately, I don't need to attack your vital points...

Maria was thinking proudly, when suddenly she had a premonition of extreme danger. She quickly retracted the dagger and crossed her hands over her chest, but a huge force still knocked her away.

"vomit"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Maria flew backwards, kneeling on the ground in tatters. Her hands protecting her chest were twisted into strange shapes. The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, emitting a faint light.

Her collapsed chest made it difficult for her to breathe. It was just a single blow, but she was completely unable to resist.

"Cough...cough..."

Blood and pieces of internal organs flowed out of her mouth along with her violent coughing. Maria knew that she no longer had the strength to fight, and she couldn't even escape.

"I'm so sorry that you suffered from this kick. It's okay. I'll send you on your way soon."

Eli was still holding Jessica. He slowly retracted his kicked foot and spoke to Maria who was struggling to death.

You didn't even understand that holding your sister in your arms would double the damage, so your death was a bit unfair...

Unable to bear the pain of the enemy demon, Eli kicked Maria, who was kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood, while holding Jessica, but this time he kicked her in the head.

With the sound of several broken bones, the devil Maria died on the spot.

Compared with West, as a demon king, Maria is the one that is most vulnerable to attacks. After all, she is an assassin, so her thin health and low defense are understandable. As long as you have the speed to catch her, she is not much stronger than a ninth-level demon.

I have to say, it is worthy of being a large-scale war zone. On the first day of siege, he was assassinated by the demon king at night. The enemy demon's reaction speed was really fast, but I underestimated his strength.

It is not enough to send only one demon king. If you want to send, send several demon kings together. Killing one demon king will cause no less damage to the demon clan than killing tens of millions of demon soldiers. If there is a chance, Eli will certainly not be polite to the demon clan.

Of course, it is still very important to annihilate the demon soldiers. The coalition of a hundred races is not only weaker than the demons in high-end combat power, but also suffers from the low-level soldiers. After all, the largest source of soldiers for the coalition of a hundred races is the sea clan, and many ordinary soldiers of the sea clan find it difficult to participate in the war on the mainland.

After killing Maria, Eli took out an empty storage ring and put her body in it. Then he lay back on the bed with Jessica, who had been curled up in his arms without saying a word for warmth. The clever Cecilia immediately reached out and hugged the warm Eli tightly, and the three of them returned to the beginning scene.

However, this time there were no demon assassins to disturb them, and the three of them slept until dawn.
