Rise of The Anti God

Chapter 276 The Veiled Mamba

Meanwhile, in a different part of the imperial city where the lands were owned by one of the top five families, a figure clad in a black cloak was sneaking towards the huge mansion in the middle of the night.

Even though there were guards, they couldn't seem to detect the aura of the figure, nor did the barrier seem to block them.

Even with a cloak on, one could see that the person wearing it was not that tall, nor did they have a big body frame.

The cloaked figure soon sneaked its way around the mansion until they reached an open window as if the owner of the room was inviting someone to jump through it.

Without any hesitation, the cloaked figure jumped inside through the window big enough to fit a person.

"Finally...took you long enough to get your ass here…" A darkened voice sounded in the dim room. Because of the nightlight, it was barely enough to reveal the owner of the voice sitting on the bed with a black cloak completely covering their body, including their face.

The cloaked figure who jumped in through the window kneeled apologetically and removed their hood to reveal a pretty girl. But her eyes carried a different look that didn't seem to match with her age or appearance.

She spoke emotionlessly, "Forgive me, young miss Dennisa. Next time I won't be late," She decided not to tell the real reason since it would only further antagonize the person in front of her.

"Whatever, but do you know why I summoned you, the infamous Veiled Mamba, especially in secret?" Dennisa questioned, her tone still sounding moody and dull.

Upon hearing her title, Veiled Mamba looked up slowly and said flatly, "I presume it's become esteemed miss has a secret mission for me. As long as the target is a woman, young miss need not worry about anything. I can get it done."

Dennisa raised her hand, "Not so fast. I know you are the most deadly and tricky assassin out there who never failed to assassinate your target but also quite expensive enough to even bore a hole in my pocket if I really paid for your services. And that's why I need you to use your complete expertise for this mission."

Dennisa was stating the fact. The name 'Veiled Mamba' was enough to make even some Heaven Ethereal Realm practitioners tremble with fear.

The reason was that the Veiled Mamba was an expert who had mastered the art of disguise to almost perfection. She could even fool Heaven Ethereal Realm cultivators and quickly assassinate them while lowering their guard down by pretending to be someone else.

Rumors say that despite disguising putting on the disguise of different women, she herself may not be a woman at all, but of course, those rumors were baseless.

All they knew was that she put on different masks that belonged to different people. And if someone saw her in action, they would be quite astounded to see her perfectly pretending to be someone else.

Dennisa knew her current face of a pretty girl was not even really her true appearance.

Dennisa obviously wouldn't be able to afford the services of such an assassin on her own, not without her father's help.

But fortunately, her father had given her a talisman before that she could only use for a single time to procure the services of a deadly assassin and to use that chance wisely. It seemed that the Veiled Mamba gave the talisman to her father decades ago as a favor.

Dennisa could have asked her father to help her procure the services of Veiled Mamba. But she obviously didn't want not only her father but anyone else to know about her intentions as she knew they would stop her for sure.

She had no idea how strong Veiled Mamba's cultivation was or how old she was though there were rumors that she was at the Sky Ethereal Realm or even weaker. Sometimes some even claimed her to have a Heaven Ethereal Realm cultivation, but since she kept her aura hidden using some treasure, it was hard to discern her cultivation.

Dennisa, however, did not really care about those details. Just knowing the impeccable track record of Veiled Mamba was enough for her.

Veiled Mamba nodded, "Of course. For every single mission, I don't hold back on my skills. Young miss can rest assured I wouldn't be complacent no matter how weak or strong the target is unless they are at the Profound Ethereal Realm. I hope that is not the case," She said with a probing look.

Dennisa let out a sardonic chuckle, "Pffft….Profound Ethereal Realm...only if she was allowed to live for centuries more. But no...now she is just a mere Earth Ethereal Realm practitioner, and I take it you aren't afraid of the girl...named Valentina."

Veiled Mamba's brows raised a bit but were not completely surprised as she could see the obvious enmity Dennisa had against Valentina for getting defeated in a humiliating way.

"If it's only her, then it's doable, and I would need a week at most. But if it's her master, even though he is not at the Profound Ethereal Realm, his skills seem to match a lot of mines, and I don't think I will be able to assassinate him silently," Veiled Mamba said as her eyebrows drew together.

Dennisa scoffed, "Hah, seems like even the great Veiled Mamba is afraid of someone indeed. But fret not, you don't have to do anything to him. The only one I want to kill myself is that bitch...Valentina. Not only her...I want her boyfriend as well...I want to rip him apart right before her and then laugh in her despairing face, hahaha."

"So there are two targets…" Veiled Mamba mumbled in a contemplative tone while ignoring Dennisa's maniacal laugh.

"It isn't much work for you, is it? Considering they both are always glued to each other. If you plan to kill one, then you should get rid of the other one anyway. But to be precise, I don't want you to kill them right away. I want you to bring them to a place of my choice and seal their cultivations just enough for me to break them before killing them," Dennisa said with a sinister light in her eyes.

Veiled Mamba frowned, "You want me to kidnap them? That would be more troublesome since my expertise is in assassinations and getting away."

She wanted to make sure Dennisa was aware of her abilities and the missions she usually took. Veiled Mamba even forgot the last time she kidnapped someone since all of her assignments only ended with her killing off her targets discreetly without any suspicions at all.

"Troublesome? Maybe. But for a person like you, it's not impossible right?" Dennisa said in a tone of certainty.

Veiled Mamba looked straight and slightly nodded. Indeed, thinking about it, she just would have to take some extra efforts to drop Damien and Valentina at Dennisa's feet.

She wasn't worried about the azure token around Valentina's neck since it would only activate if Valentina was able to use her cultivation. So, all she had to do was seal it, which was something she always does before she kills her targets, even if they are weaker than her, just to be safe.

Dennisa smiled, seeing that it wasn't a problem for Veiled Mamba. Since she was making exceptional use of favor to use her services, she didn't know how many conditions she could ask from her. But fortunately, it seemed like the Veiled Mamba didn't mind following through with her requirements.

'Hmph, I wonder how Roy is going to repay this favor,' Dennisa inwardly thought as she had already informed Roy about her plan. She was sure Roy would love to toy with a helpless Damien and Valentina, especially after having his manhood crippled coupled with his ghastly appearance.

She didn't want to be the only one who was involved in this whole sinister idea. She wanted a companion in case things went south and who could be a better partner in crime than Roy, a fellow victim of the same cursed disease.

She, however, didn't think about any possible consequences at all as her current mental state was only this close to becoming completely mad. Her thought of revenge was the only thing holding her back from letting everything loose.

With her ugly state, she lost interest in everything else. Obviously, she stopped going outside despite people asking around about her sudden absence in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation.

However, her father was somehow able to subtly convince them that she was indisposed with her cultivation and other things.

But even she knew that such an excuse wouldn't convince people for long, and it would only be a matter of time before her condition was revealed to the public.

The only hope was to get a cure before that, but she knew that it was pretty much hopeless when even the top-notch medicines only seemed to make it worse.

All she wanted now was to break Valentina, and that thought made her nerves tingle with excitement.

"You may leave now. If you face any problems, use the talisman I gave you if you need my help to complete the mission," Dennisa said as she waved her hand.

Veiled Mamba nodded as she got up and swiftly left through the window she came in.

"Hehehe...Valentina...I wonder how much tears you will shed for your precious Damien…"
