Assassination System

Chapter 266 - Please Come Back...

A tense atmosphere sprung up outside of the Thousand Worlds Changing Array. Robin's display of ruthlessness and decisiveness baffled and astonished those who came and observed the Selection Process.

"W-W-Was that the Golden Prince? I-I-I have never seen him act like that..." A female disciple that had close relations with Robin Fuentes staggered backward, her expression pale and her shoulders continuously trembled like a sieve; as if the world around her had collapsed into ruins.

Almost everyone of the twelve Elders of the Paradyne Academy stared wide-eyed at the projected figure at the screen. The middle-aged woman who was also an Elder literally had veins bulging on her temples as she stared angrily at Robin. Her anger soared to the extent that her cultivation base subconsciously rotated and seethed.

"Calm down all of you. Remember that they're in a situation where they had to be ruthless and decisive. This is a life and death battle royale, those soft-hearted cannot possibly survive and acquire that precious chance."

"Also, even if they did miraculously enter the top 10 and obtain the spot. Do you think that they can survive the dangers within the Mystic Realm if they remained so naive? It's time for them to experience how cruel reality really is."

Mathias turned to look at his Elders and sternly scolded.

He was right, without possessing sufficient ruthlessness and decisiveness to your enemies and oneself. There's no way that these bunch of plants that grew within a greenhouse can survive the outside world on their own.

Although these Elders felt somewhat aggrieved and sorrowful for their disciples, they could only nod their heads and think that their decision for today was for their disciples' future.

Back within the virtual world, Robin Fuentes stared at the fallen Alexandra and Annie before sighing. He considered the two of them as his greatest rival so eliminating them right now was the best choice if he wanted to dominate and acquire first place.

Of course, he knew deep within his heart that his method was too venomous and unscrupulous. But who cares? Within this virtual world, as long as you can survive to the top 10. Everything is permitted, and you know what they say; In war, there are no restrictions. You couldn't just shamelessly stop an enemy and say that he cheated by blinding you with sands, right?

"Alexandra, Annie... I'm sorry that I did you with this, but there's no other way, I have to acquire that first place no matter what..." Robin lifted his golden sword and positioned himself before the two young women.

"Ha ha ha. Of course, you're gonna do us like this, you can't even defeat us through fair means. The only way that you can defeat us is through the use of poison, right? All-mighty Golden Prince of the Paradyne Academy?" Annie scoffed and coldly mocked, Robin's expression shifted for a moment before turning solemn.

He lifted a self-mocking smile as he lifelessly swept his gaze across their bodies: "You're right about that, I cannot defeat the two of you in a fair battle. But who cares? Even if I used under-handed means; history is written by the victors, those who lost can only helplessly cry within the dark."

When Annie heard his words, all ideas of fighting back with words crumbled down. He's right, nothing is considered cheating in war, all sorts of dirty tricks are permitted so why I am acting like a sore loser? He just outplayed the two of us with his own methods, what's wrong with that?

She sighed and calmed down. It looked like she came to terms and accepted her fate. Making a sidelong glance at Alexandra, she wanted to say something but kept her silence in the end.

The light within Alexandra's eyes dimmed and her chest violently heaved and gasped for air. The mental impact that she received from the betrayal of her close friends damaged her more than the physical injury that she received. With blood dripping from her lips, she tightly clenched her fists and thought.

Why did I deserve all of these? I acted so kindly, treated you guys well and gave you a safe haven away from the male disciples that only wanted to harm you, but why? Why must you do such a thing and bite the hand that feeds you? I know I act cold and I often scold each and everyone of you but do I really deserve to get this kind of a punishment?

She turned to look at Robin and found not any trace of compassion and kindness. The only emotion that he had was coldness. When their gazes met, an intense piercing pain enveloped Alexandra's mind as muffled pained groans came out of her throat.

That again!

That nightmare...

I will never forget that day...

Robin's figure that coldly stared at her seemed to superimpose with a certain figure within Alexandra's mind. Voicelessly screaming, her body intermittently trembled in an effort to break free from the restraints of the paralysis poison. Robin saw her actions and lightly chuckled, "It's futile, Alexandra. If your cultivation base isn't higher than the Divine Soul Realm, there's no way that you can break away from the effects of the Paralysis Poison."

He made a quick glance at the token within his chest and saw that the number was decreasing every minute. Placing the token right before the eyes of the two young women. He lightly smiled and said, "Look at the numbers, it's literally decreasing every minute, I am quite sure that the outside world is filled with nothing but the smell of blood and the scene of carnage..."

Robin moved closer to the two and stretched his hand, embracing their bodies amidst Annie and Alexandra's disgust and horror. He propped them up on a slab of rock so that it would look like they were sitting down and leaning on the wall. Dusting his shoulders, he sat at their opposite direction and said.

"There's still quite some time until most of the garbage outside are cleaned off, why don't we have a discussion? Aren't the two of you curious why I am so desperate for the sake of acquiring the first place?" Alexandra and Annie wanted to turn their heads away or close their eyelids. But due to the effects of the paralysis poison, they couldn't even speak in retort much more move.

Outside the virtual world, the spectators saw Robin's actions and felt mystified. Even the Elders and the Headmaster himself and their curiosity piqued. Unfortunately, it was impossible to listen on their conversation. And since they weren't in the middle of a fight, the platform screen changed scenes and arrived at a nearby battlefield.

Vincent, Natalie and Grace seamlessly worked together and launched massacres after massacres, the scene of two Heavenly beauties covered in blood and coldly smiling at them were engraved within the hearts of the massacred disciples, and it's something that they would never forget in their lifetime. The newcomer, Vincent had trouble keeping up with their pace at first but he easily adjusted and became an absolute bastion and meatshield.

"Yay! I think that's my twentieth kill! How about you, Natalie?" Grace happily bounced like a ball, but since her body was drenched by the blood of her enemies, it contrasted her cutesy actions and made her look abnormal instead.

"Only the twentieth? You still have a way to go before you can defeat your Big Sister, Lil' Grace. That kill was already my thirtieth kill..." Natalie cheekily smiled, the drop of blood that drenched her cheeks as she smiled sent shivers down Vincent's spine.

"How about you, Vincent?" Grace turned to look at Vincent and asked in a challenging voice, "I only killed two..." He said in a hesitant voice and hearing his disappointing results, the two young women stared at each other for a moment before suffusing a sympathetic face, repeatedly patting his shoulders and saying.

"It's okay, it's okay. We are still gonna slaughter later so maybe you can increase that lousy kill count and prove that you're really a man..." Grace poked fun at her and Natalie flicked at her forehead, "Hey, don't tease him too much, how could he be a man if he isn't supposed to be a man in the first place!"

"Then, Natalie. What do you think should Vincent be?"

"Hmmm..." Natalie made a 'thinking' expression and sweetly smiled before saying, "A cute houseboy, I guess?"

Vincent cried as the two foxes poked fun at him from both sides. Staring at the skies, he silently pleaded with all of his might...

"Dan, please come back..."
