Chapter 200 Assassin
Neither the Wise King nor Duke Reggus can be considered good people in a sense. It's hard to say how upright or honorable one's methods are when it comes to politics. Given Duke Reggus's own lack of power, the fact that he was able to gain the Wise King's trust suggests that he had his own unique advantages.

During the battle between the Sword Saint and the Thunder Emperor, both sides dispatched assassins.

The assassin sent by Reggus was the vampire king, Lisdowe—although theoretically there is only one vampire and one egg left, Lisdowe was not stingy with her power since it was for Doro.

Whether this counts as betraying the Demon King again, Lisdowei wasn't sure, but her mission was to assassinate the Wise King, and she wouldn't hesitate on that point—she already disliked the Wise King.

It's not the kind of verbal dislike where people say they hate someone but actually think they're on the same side; it's genuine dislike, a real desire to kill the wise king.

Ultimately, while Doro and she might not truly be considered "true love," and their feelings weren't as intense as Lisdowei had hoped, she was certain that she possessed nothing but Doro; he was her love. This was beyond doubt. The only difference was that between them lay Moher.

What about everyone else?

Saintess Shady, Sage Adriana, Source of Miracles Adeline, End of the Song Yin Nefeld—Lisdowei believed these people all deserved to die.

Doro allowed these people to live because he had expectations of them; he hoped they could bring him surprises. These defiant individuals, always thinking of their women, might have brilliant ideas about rebelling against Doro and come up with special results to please him. Lisdowei, of course, respected Doro's will; she wouldn't do anything secretly on her own. She should be a good wife.

Therefore, after she came to Doro's side, she selectively ignored the three women.

In other words, Ein Nefertari chose to stand on Moher's side.

But the Wise King is a very detestable person. In Lisdowei's view, the Wise King basically usurped Doro's efforts. The union of the various races was mostly accomplished by Doro. As a result, the Wise King, together with those girls, attacked Doro and destroyed Doro's efforts. Humanity became the Central Human Empire and the most powerful race. Doro's promises to the various races and the connections established between them were basically destroyed by the Wise King.

Of course, the hero is human, and the key members of the hero's team are human. Naturally, humans are the most powerful race, and no one in this era would question that. But this is not a reason to persecute other races or drive them to the margins. However, these matters concerning races are not really relevant to Lisdowei, and she doesn't care about other races. She is simply unhappy with the Wise King.

According to Lisdowei, Moher should not have taken the wise king back and resurrected him.

What was the meaning behind her turning the Wise King into a girl? Could it be that Doro really intended to do all sorts of outrageous things to the Wise King after he became a girl in order to take revenge on him? Doro didn't do anything much to Rose, and Rose didn't leave with him.

Although she didn't understand, Lisdowei roughly knew that this was one of Mohe's pawns, and that she was using the Wise King to make some kind of move, which must be aimed at Doro.

But she couldn't figure it out. Even though she couldn't figure it out, she was still happy to be tasked with killing the Wise King in this virtual world.

Of course, she also knew that this task would not be easy to complete.

Her initial strength was somewhat weaker than the Four Heavenly Kings. After becoming a vampire, she erased her original weaknesses and became even stronger, capable of fighting Adeline—but if it really came down to a fight to the end, she felt that she might be weaker than Adeline, since Adeline didn't use Adeline Metal when she fought her; that was something she used when fighting the Demon King.

The Wise King was not weak in himself. Although most people thought he was not good at fighting, if you delve into the story of the Wise King and the hero A. Godora, you'll find that the Wise King's first meeting with A. Godora wasn't on the throne when he ascended the throne, but rather when he was traveling incognito as an adventurer. They fought and became friends afterward. When the two met again in the royal court, A. Godora showed a look of surprise.

The two once shared a deep friendship. Although Doro was far from being particularly powerful at that time, the wise king was not incapable of fighting, a point that needs to be clarified.

In other words, even if one bypasses everyone else and launches a surprise attack on the wise king, there is still a chance that the wise king will be on guard.

Moreover, the other side also has very skilled assassins.

Hind Nefertari, The Last Song.

The assassination by this curse master is even more deadly, since her assassination can ignore distance and directly curse a person. Of course, without their hair, blood, nails, or other such things, the curse is still within the limits that the strong can withstand, at most it will affect their condition. Therefore, when fighting with others, one cannot leave enough materials for Yin Nifid to cast a curse.

Of course, the Church of the White stood on their side, and with the blessing of divine magic, the curse was not really a threat.

Only Yin Nefertory needs to be careful.

—She doesn't just curse. The Cursed Ones Alliance is an organization with a very complex composition. Sometimes, when a curse cannot complete a task, for example, if some people know they will be cursed and obtain objects with abundant divine power from the church to protect themselves, then the cursed ones will choose other methods to complete their tasks.

A typical example is assassination.

Therefore, the members of the Cursed Masters' Alliance are basically... all skilled assassins. Some even say the Cursed Masters' Alliance is just an assassin's alliance, but the cursed masters don't agree. After all, most of them are physically weak, and even when they use weapons, it's usually just daggers or similar items used to cut their own hands and drip blood to cast curses. Moreover, they are not good at intelligence gathering; it's all just curses.

But as everyone knows—this is terrifying.

In fact, there is a very important issue: the source of many forces is unknown to most people.

The most typical example is magic. No one knows when magic was born, or who first discovered or created it. Everyone knows that the source of curses is the Demon King, the source of divine magic is the Goddess, and recently, everyone has learned that the origin of alchemy is the World Tree.

There are many things whose origins are unknown, such as astrology, certain martial arts, and swordsmanship...

The goddess is not in the mortal realm; she merely guides humanity, bestowing blessings and power. But the Demon King undeniably exists in the world, and the source of the curse remains to this day. The curse is the Demon King's power—a being who once ruled the world for an unknown period, only to be defeated by Doro. The curse power derived from her own existence is feared by all.

No one can truly know the extent to which curses can achieve their goals, so even though curse casters later sided with humans, they were still feared.

Because the Demon King never truly died, even before the hero's party's final battle, some questioned whether the curse master might temporarily rebel, or whether casting a curse on the Demon King would actually provide him with power—this debate did not end there. At that time, A. Godora defied the majority and stood by Yin Nefertari's side.

It's hard to say whether this choice is correct.

Lisdo traveled through the canyon, transforming into flowing blood that moved across the ground without attracting anyone's attention.

Soldiers on both sides had already set up positions in the canyon, where many scouts were hidden in the dense forest.

This is Lisdowei's goal: to kill a soldier directly, then hide in his body in a state of blood, and manipulate his body to return to the Demon King's camp during the "shift change." Within the Demon King's camp, she will continuously change bodies, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the Wise King. Even if she fails, she can at least instill panic in the forces on this side. Her most important task is to "hide."

Since vampires had never existed before, Lisdowe wasn't too worried that anyone would discover her hiding among the different "corpses."

Just as she was walking along like that.

Some of the blood began to turn black.
Lisdowei, who had transformed into blood, immediately cut her own blood.

She suddenly condensed into human form, her size smaller than before.

She looked in a certain direction.

"Hidden Nefert!"

The curse master she had just been thinking about was right in front of her.

“Lisdowei, you seem to have left something behind at Moher’s mansion.” Yin Nefeld held a maid outfit in her hand, which had now turned to ashes. “Why didn’t you take your work clothes with you?”

"What's the point of cursing me? If I'm not mistaken, your mission should be to assassinate Duke Reggus or something like that."

"You're right."

"If that's the case, what's the point of you stopping me?"

Why do you think I would completely obey the wise king's orders?

Yin Nefert said with doubt, "I have my own judgment. Stopping you is the most reasonable choice at this moment."

Lisiduo stared at her for a while: "Fine, to be honest, I originally wanted to fight you too. Our positions should have been the same. I used to envy you. You met him earlier than me and were closer to him than me, but you betrayed him. Was it for profit?"

"Aren't you also on his side for your own benefit? It's just that I made the wrong judgment."
