A huge vocalic creator left where the middle-aged man cast the forbidden spell, and there was nothing left in the vicinity of a hundred miles.

However, from the infernal ground, eight black-clad figures rose with cracked barriers

around their bodies; they were the eight assassins who managed to survive the explosion, which would make the middle-aged man shocked to his core if he were alive to witness this

scene.

“Target has been neutralized; Mission Complete!” A static voice sounded from one of the eight assassins.

The assassins turned around and were about to leave when suddenly, out of nowhere, inky daggers appeared around their necks and remained in their position. But those assassins didn’t move even a little because they could feel the sharp edges of those pin daggers on their skins despite wearing defensive treasures. It was as if those dangers could bypass all their defenses.

“What a lunatic!” A crisp yet vexed voice rang at this moment.

The next moment, those eight assassins were surrounded by another eight dark-clad individuals. Their outfits were more on the aesthetic side, and although their colors were the same, one could tell they were completely different from each other. Well, except for two tall figures who were wearing cloaks. One of them even had a little dark bird and a cute hamster on his shoulder. It was the entire Thief House with two thief acolytes, Cyrus and Chuchu!

“I had to admit, that forbidden spell almost caught us off guard. It’s truly another heaven. I can feel the air and pressure of this place, which is vastly different from our birthplace.” Another melodious voice sighed, and with a hint of excitement present in her voice, it was Freya.

Winter, who commented early, retorted, “And I also admit that the people here are even more idiots than back home. Who could’ve thought the first thing we experienced after coming to this place would be an assassination attempt? And those **ers even survived it! They are filled with treasures, and I call dibs!”

Winter quickly changed her tone as her foxy eyes shone with greed. He glared at those eight assassins who were now completely at Noa’s mercy; they weren’t living beings, but HP was in her eyes!

“How wasteful, he blew up decision food!” Cyrus’s lamenting voice rang at this moment, making the women chuckle as they were glad seeing the mischievous child wasn’t traumatized by his early experience.

“Indeed, he used the Spirit Fire as a catalyst to cast that spell, and that Spirit Fire was extremely powerful compared to the one I have. It seemed the resources of this Artifice Inferno Guardian Sect are far richer than we had thought. A second-grade sect is a force to be reckoned with.” Noa’s sedated voice rang as she coldly looked toward the immobilized assassins, and the only thing stopping her from killing them was she was waiting for Ace’s order.

After they all knew about Ace’s ability to steal memories and then turn them into Star Slips, and now that they were in this unknown place, they needed every bit of information they could get their hands on.

“Indeed.” Ace nodded at this moment in a calm voice as he looked towards those assassins curiously, “Then imagine the resources and riches of people who dared to assassinate the people from the second-grade sect’s people? Fiend Assassin Guild, I presumed, since that old guy called you that.”

“So, he was from sect? Did you get his memories before he died?” Alina asked curiously as she was standing on his left side, wearing a dark cloak since she didn’t have enough HP to buy robes from her shop.

Ace nodded as he replied, “Yes, but I wasn’t able to get all of them since he was quite strong and, for some reason, his knowledge sea was damaged. Furthermore, there seemed to be a seal in his knowledge sea, and I should thank them for that. After all, whatever poison they used created a crack in that seal, and so I was able to salvage some memories before he blew up. But they are sufficient for us to go forward.”

Ace’s eyes suddenly went sharp as he looked towards the eight assassins who were silent all this time, and he grimly stated, “As for them, they didn’t have knowledge seas at all because they didn’t have souls.”

Everyone was surprised when they heard Ace’s unexpected revelation. Winter and Eva’s eyes suddenly widened as they blurted out at the same time.

“Corpse Puppets!”

“Undead Puppetry!”

Ace knew if anyone had any idea what he was talking about, it would be Eva and Winter.

The former because when she finished her evolution, she was in the Regal Fiend Tower, where blood puppets were being used as trial puppets to manipulate and corrode the contenders for the rebirth technique of Moon Fiend King, and the reason for Eva to quickly complete her evolution was also because of him.

The latter was because she had got the inheritance of the Corpse Demon Tribe in the Demon Continent, and she almost got possessed by one of their members, and the soul resurrection bead was also looted from that member of the Corpse Demon Tribe.

However, the moment Eva and Winter said those out loud, it didn’t matter by whose words, but the eight assassins suddenly trembled, and their bodies started to glow in crimson light.

Ace didn’t have time to explain because he instantly sensed the same kind of aura he felt before the middle-aged man cast the forbidden spell and ordered Noa, “Attack in the middle of their necks; there is some kind of power source in there!”

Noa, who was about to behead them all, instantly reacted to Ace’s words, and the pin dangers followed her will and flashed towards their necks, bypassing their spirit Qi barriers or any protection and piercing deep into their necks!

Almost instantly, a voice like glass being shattered rang, and the crimson glow from those assassins suddenly vanished as they dropped to the ground without any sign of life.

However, before the house members could sigh in relief, one of the corpse puppets, who had spoken statically earlier, suddenly released a dark, sinister fog from his body, followed by the other puppets, and turned into a dark, fiendish face.

“Whoever dares to kill the members of Fiend Assassin Guild shall plunge into endless misery! “I shall bestow upon you the Killing Fiend Curse!”
