Chapter 694 -274: Sneak Attack (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3
“Where is Rein in which room?” Holdan’s voice suddenly resounded in the room.
“M… My lord, you’ve arrived.”
The terrified informant turned around and suddenly discovered a figure in a black robe standing in the shadows behind the room door.
No one knew how the figure had entered.
“Rein is in the third room facing south on the second floor of the main villa building.” The informant had already received a notice from above that someone would come looking for him, so his emotions steadied relatively quickly as he answered.
Hearing this, Holdan nodded. This information was enough for him.
He planned to finish his business early and return sooner.
Just as he planned to leave, the informant quickly added another line:
“However, my lord, I can’t guarantee that the person is definitely in the room, as he might also be in the training room. Recently, he has been visiting the training room quite frequently. By the way, the indoor training room is the first room facing south on the first floor of the main villa building.”
“Additionally, there’s a piece of the latest news. Today, many masters with strong auras arrived….”
“Hmm.”
The next second, the figure in the black robe vanished into the shadows.
Hmm?
The informant rubbed his eyes!
He stared in disbelief at the doorway, the figure had indeed disappeared into the shadows there.
This… he left before I finished talking?
What if the person fails the mission— could that anger be directed at me?
….
In fact, this was a natural ability that Holdan had obtained from the essence of the Secret Snake Sect’s bloodline— the “Shadow Skin Technique,” which integrated him with the shadows, invisible to the naked eye.
It could be considered as a shadow-based “Invisibility Technique,” only needing a shadowed area to achieve the effect of invisibility.
It was not a cool witchcraft like “Short-range Teleportation.”
In Holdan’s view, knowing Rein’s exact location was all it took to simplify the rest.
As for masters?
It mattered not at all.
Employing the Earth Snake for a sneak attack promised a fatal strike before anyone could react. By the time they did, he would have retreated at ease.
Thus, the Great Priest Ganon could proceed with the Earth Snake’s summoning ceremony earlier.
Quickly making up his mind, Holdan used the cover of night and made his way to the garden in front of the main villa building.
As for determining whether Rein was in the room, Holdan had his own method.
Instantly, Holdan’s eyes turned to those of a snake’s vertical pupils, which were a dark yellow, and at this moment, everything in Holdan’s vision turned red and blue—high temperatures appeared red, and low temperatures appeared blue.
This was also an ability mastered by senior followers of the Secret Snake Sect after integrating serpent essence— infrared vision.
In no time, Holdan could clearly see the dynamics of the personnel within the extensive three-story villa.
“There’s someone taking a bath in the third room on the second floor; it must undoubtedly be Rein. But what is he doing flailing his arms about?” Holdan nodded, then looked puzzled.
“Heh, this guy is taking a bath, isn’t that the perfect opportunity? I was worried that if he rested in some special inner armor, the Earth Snake might truly struggle to bite through.”
Holdan couldn’t help but laugh, feeling very pleased.
“There seems to be a woman in the fourth room on the second floor, also taking a bath. Eh? Such an impressive figure!” While observing Rein, Holdan’s gaze inadvertently lingered on the neighboring room for a few seconds.
Even viewed through infrared vision, he could discern the contours of the woman’s body, pausing his gaze for a few more seconds.
“The last room on the second floor, judging by the figure, seems to be a woman too. Eh, is she actually…”
“So thirsty?”
This instantly sent a surge of flames rocketing up inside Holdan!
Although their Secret Snake Sect worshiped the devouring snake, their doctrine itself had nothing to do with propagation or offspring.
Yet, the integration of various serpentine essences into their bodies to enhance their abilities also significantly heightened their desires in that aspect.
Because adherents of the Secret Snake Sect naturally also assumed some serpent traits after absorbing the essence, though controlled by various secret techniques.
Holdan tried to calm his emotions, muttering to himself, ‘Let’s get the job done first.’
He walked in the shadows of the garden, coming to a standstill at the shaded corner of the villa’s main wall. The next second, two small black snakes crawled out from his wide sleeves…
These two snakes also possessed a similar ability to the Shadow Skin Technique, vanishing into the shadows swiftly as soon as they entered them.
In Holdan’s infrared vision, he could clearly see the two small Earth Snakes rapidly slithering toward their target.
Why was Holdan so confident in his assassination?
The reason lay here; his Earth Snakes possessed the special natural abilities of stealth and deadly poison. Using the darkness of the night, once the sneak attack commenced, it promised exceptional concealment.
Moreover, the target of this assassination was a senior Great Knight.
No matter what secret techniques the knight mastered, even if they were a Peak Knight, with the potency of the Earth Snake’s venom, one bite was fatal.
Even if the knight reacted quickly and cautiously, just one small puncture of the skin would result in severe poisoning.
At most, he would deliver one final blow to finish the job.
Unless the target was a formal Wizard, that would be much more troublesome, possessing innate wizardry for defense, along with high sensitivity, making it easier to detect approaching Earth Snakes.
