You are all my wings!

Even if they don't have actual titles, haven't been granted titles by the kingdom, or have no territory, their strength is undeniable.

And this is basically the ceiling for ordinary adventurers.

To go on to become a legend is extremely difficult, with a very low probability.

Lyon continued to listen quietly.

"Aunt Timiya, how is the situation?"

"It went fairly smoothly; all the necessary magical items have been set up."

"Didn't the Holy Maiden notice?"

“No, I had Rhine meet with her first. In the meantime, I was setting up around the sacred mural. They probably wouldn’t have been able to detect my movements.”

"Very good, Grand Magician Tang De, how is your team doing?"

"My operation with Saide went quite smoothly. We successfully killed the sixth-tier monster, the Azure Ring Serpent, which was roaming the West District, and brought it back intact by removing its spellcasting organs."

"Are you sure it's 100% complete, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, these are the items."

"Good, indeed, this is the key item I've been looking for! Well done! Sword King Molun, how are things going with your team and the Assassin King Xuertuo?"

"It was a bit difficult, but we managed to capture him and bring him over."

"Bring it here quickly."

Soon, a scraping sound came from the ground, followed by the shout of the Sword King Moron:

"Andrio! This is Her Highness the Princess in person, show some respect!"

Hearing this, Lyon was shocked.

Andrio?

He was also captured by the princess's people.

Ophimosa's efficiency was astonishing. It seems that after interrogating Kess and Utaman, he learned about Andrio's situation and managed to find him on the 41st floor.

At that time, Andrio's fifth-tier pseudo-fallen angel skin had been damaged by Iris's Judgment Spear, and his magic resistance had dropped significantly. It was unlikely that the skin would be so easy to repair.

In other words, Andrio, whose combat power had plummeted, was thus taken advantage of by two sixth-tier warrior-class experts.

Otherwise, given Andrio's special abilities—that he can transform into blood and has high magic resistance—even if a level 6 fighter could defeat him, it would probably be difficult to capture him.

"So it's Your Highness the Princess. No wonder I'm so unlucky. Cough, cough cough, I never thought I'd be defeated by the Holy Maiden first, and then fall into your hands, Your Highness. I've really been ruined by women in my life."

Andre was breathing weakly, but his words were still relatively clear.

Leon felt a strange sense of empathy for him from his self-deprecating tone. Was it because he was worried that he too would one day fall for the hands of various women?

However, the turning points in Andrio's life were indeed all marked by different women.

His Holy Blood School headquarters was first destroyed by the divine punishment of the goddess Astalia, and he began a life of wandering and escape.

After lying low for decades, he set his sights on Saintess Britta in order to seek revenge, only to have her, in alliance with Iris, shatter his high magic resistance skin.

While preparing to launch a counterattack, she fell 41 floors due to a monster riot caused by her subordinate Machiru's misbehavior.

Now, Princess Ophimasso has discovered his usefulness and sent people to capture him.

It's tragic that a boss from the middle of the first part suddenly ended up in such a miserable state before the plot even began.

“Andrio, you should have heard of my reputation. You know that while I cannot tolerate the most heinous criminals, I can tolerate the capable. You are quite useful now. If you choose to cooperate with me, I can give you a chance to live out your days in peace.”

Ophimasso spoke slowly.

"Your Highness is joking. I am all alone now, and there is no need for me to become better."

"Don't rush, listen carefully to the details of this collaboration."

"I can roughly guess that you want to use my life alchemy magic to turn that sixth-tier Shadow Spider into a life puppet, right?"

"Oh? You're quite clever."

“I have been able to observe your battle plans to some extent during this period.”

"It's a pity. If it weren't for the terrible sins you committed in the past, I would really like to employ someone as talented as you."

Hearing this, Lyon smiled inwardly.

Ophimasso is even better at winning people over than Britta, but unfortunately, in her pursuit of success, she has gone to extremes and disregarded the character of her subordinates, which will inevitably backfire on her later.

Because the official conclusion of the second film's storyline also coincides with the time when Ophiuchus and the big boss perish together.

She initially had a significant advantage, but due to various mistakes made by her subordinates, her overall situation ultimately collapsed during the final battle.

In this respect, Britta's fate was quite similar to hers.

It was also because of the problems with his subordinates that the promising situation was ruined, forcing him to choose the method of self-sacrifice.

Chapter 161 A Shadow Spying on Me While I Was Shower

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Suddenly, someone spoke in a very low voice. If Leon hadn't been in Shadow Breathing mode and his agility hadn't exceeded 50, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

Is the one speaking the assassin Wang Xuertuo?

Leon was startled and immediately activated Shadow Leap, quickly moving away from his original position.

The next second, a short, masked man quietly appeared where Lyon had been hiding.

At the same time, Ophimasso, sword in hand, quickly arrived at the tent entrance and flashed to the masked man's side.

"What about people?"

"They ran away; the other side was very alert."

"Even the King of Assassins couldn't catch him by the tail, so he must be a formidable expert."

Ophimosa frowned.

"That's not necessarily true. They may not be experts, but they are definitely masters of stealth and invisibility."

Assassin King Xuertuo slowly shook his head.

"How to say?"

"Among assassin professions, there are also rare professions that specialize in stealth. If someone is in this profession, they don't necessarily need to be at the fifth or sixth rank. Even at the fourth rank, they can still fool my senses. Of course, the main reason is that I think the other party's strength is much inferior to mine."

Assassin-type professions, broadly speaking, are a branch of warrior-type professions, both of which involve manipulating the body and using magic to enhance the physical body.

However, the assassin class is also a sub-branch, such as scouts, assassins, and thieves.

"I see."

Ophimosa nodded, and with a clang, she sheathed her sword.

"Let's go back to the tent first, so as not to be seen by too many people."

The reason why no other sixth-level cultivators rushed out this time was because they were worried that if too many people came out at once, it would attract attention and lead to a leak.

Although they were overheard this time and a lot of information was obviously leaked, they hadn't discussed the key details yet, so Ophimaso felt the situation was still under control.

Outside the third tent in the distance, Lyon quietly leaned against one side, letting out a slight sigh of relief.

As expected of a sixth-tier assassin king, he quickly discerned the situation he was hiding and located it instantly.

Fortunately, Leon's agility was already quite high, and he also possessed the rare profession of Phantom Walker, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to hear his voice reminding everyone.

"They'll definitely be more vigilant this time. I don't have a chance to get close and eavesdrop anymore. Let's get out of here."

After a moment's thought, Leon decided to leave.

The other party didn't notice him at first, probably because they were prejudiced and didn't think much of it.

But when their conversation pauses, Leon's subtle breathing will surely be noticed.

"Given the significant difference in rank, it's quite impressive that they were able to hide for even a short while."

call out!call out!call out!

With a few leaps, he returned to their temporary shared tent.

This tent was a private space allocated by Orpheus to the saintess, where the rest of the team rested temporarily.

Soon, shadows crept into the tent.

"Lyon?"

Bretta, who was in meditation, suddenly opened her eyes.

"it's me."

Leon leaped from the ground and landed, scanning his surroundings. He only saw Maggieru, Iris, and Britta.

"Has Carl and the others not returned from their mission yet?"

"Correct."

"Well, what intelligence have you gathered?"

"What we know so far is that Lady Timia seems to have buried some magical items around the sacred mural, then the fifth-tier mage Tang De and the sixth-tier spear king Sai De killed the sixth-tier monster, the Azure Ring Serpent, and obtained the complete spellcasting organ; and the sword king Molun and the assassin king Xuertuo cooperated to capture Andrio."

Lyon recounted all the information he had heard.

"Andrio?"

Britta raised an eyebrow:

"What does she want Andrio to do?"

"He needs to train the new floor master of the 41st floor, the Shadow Demon Spider, into a life puppet."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

It was Maggie who interrupted, shaking her head as she said:

"Although the mentor's life alchemy is powerful, he has never successfully created a sixth-tier powerful monster. He failed every time he tried. According to him, the life alchemy magic he invented still has imperfections."

That's interesting news.

Leon pondered for a moment and said, "Maquilu, what about you? What's your highest record? Is it that fifth-order pseudo-wisdom tree?"

"That's right!"

Maggie proudly raised her chin:

"My mentor couldn't achieve cross-level life transformation, but I can! That's the difference in talent!"

"Oh, congratulations, that's impressive!"

Lyon gave her a perfunctory compliment.

"Hmph, it's good that you know!"

At this moment, Britta said:

"However, Ophimasso's movements are very scattered, and it may be difficult for them to form an effective synergy."

“She probably has other hidden methods, but I’ve already guessed some of them…”

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

The footsteps were quick and hurried, and there was no attempt to conceal them.

"It's a princess."

Lyon heard the sound of the opponent's boots landing, gave a signal with his eyes, and immediately jumped behind Iris, quickly entering a meditative state.

"Iris, Maquill, let's meditate together."

Iris understood what Leon meant.

This is meant to create the impression that this place is always in a state of rest.

Maggie glared at Leon, but didn't refuse, and cooperated by entering meditation.

With a whoosh, the tent flap was lifted by a long, beautiful hand, and a tall, slender, and dashing woman stepped in.

"Who?"
