Chapter 166: The doubt wasn’t allowed any more

The impact was violent and when she tried to fight back, she realized that she couldn't connect to the spiritual energy around her and was unable to move as if she was pinned to the wall.

When she turned her head after coughing up blood from the impact she had just suffered, she realized with horror that her hands, stomach and calves were covered with a golden metal that seemed to blend into the wall.

She was trapped … She was fucking trapped, she didn't know what this golden metal was but it seemed to be even stronger than the one her father had given to the human King after the death of the former bearer of the Pentagram Mark to keep the Queen under his control.

Her father was the right hand man of the demon King, and it was to him that the King had entrusted the mission of annihilating the rebellion.

And she was almost there ... She was so close to her goal, she couldn't fail now. She just hoped that the demons sent by her father would arrive in time to capture this girl.

After that, they would just have to torture her until she revealed all the hideout locations that the black market had provided to the rebellion as well as all their bases.

Once the black market was removed from the equation, the rebellion would have no support, they would be completely finished.

Now, everything would depend of how intelligent this new bearer of the Pentagram Mark was, and when she saw him advancing towards her with his cold and impassive face, a shiver ran down her spine. Damn, this guy could be very scary, she thought.

But that wouldn't be enough to intimidate her, she looked behind him and she saw that Liam had easily subdued Solomon so that he wouldn't intervene, but now he was releasing him and she didn't know what he had said to him but apparently the doubt was still visible in his eyes so all was not lost for her.

Kevin of course already suspected what she was thinking and convincing Solomon that she was the traitor was going to be a piece of cake for him, but first he had to find this communication stone that she was using to prevent her from warning those who gave her orders.

Just after this thought crossed his mind, a golden light enveloped Alyssa's body and her magic bag, her necklace that had a communication stone in pendant and another stone came to rest at her feet under the astonished eyes of everyone.

Liam suddenly exclaimed : "What the hell Kevin ?"

Kevin, who knew that from now on she couldn't get in touch with anyone, replied to him with a smirk : "Remember I told you that we also had a very powerful person watching over us."

Liam just nodded, was Kevin finally going to tell him who it was ?

But Kevin then said something that he wouldn't have been able to guess no matter what : "I wasn't absolutely sure before, that's why I didn't tell you, even Axel doesn't know yet.

This golden light came from a divine artifact called the Chains of Restraint, it's a gift from Axel's father who is the God of Destruction."

Liam couldn't help but exclaim once again : "Wait what ? Who is Axel's father and how did you find out ?"

Kevin smiled at him and said : "When Axel evolved into a legendary wolf, his name and race also changed, I saw it thanks to my System, Axel is a demigod and he is the son of the God of Destruction."

The only thing that came to Liam mind right now was, 'Holy shit !'

Solomon in the other hand, who was feeling a little frustrated, asked him, because who was Axel's father didn't really concern him : "What system are you talking about ? It's not the first time you mention it ... And you're going to have to explain to me why you think Alyssa is the traitor, Liam told me to keep an open mind but she is my family, so I hope you know what you're doing."

Alyssa laughed coldly and said : "Brother how can you even let them suspect me and treat me like this, you promised you would protect me and this is how you keep your promise ?"

Kevin let her speak then turned to Solomon and said : "I'll start by telling you why she is the traitor you are looking for and you'll see it'll be very easy to prove it to you."

He paused and asked him : "Is Alyssa a good fighter ?"

Solomon shook his head and told him : "She has learned the basic techniques but she usually stays in back support, heals the wounded and uses long distance spells."

Kevin nodded, he asked him again : "Do you know how to recognize an assassin ?"

Solomon nodded again, telling him : "My uncle and Derek taught us the difference between an assassin and a mercenary, an assassin will always have 2 daggers in his back, 2 blades in his inner wrists, 2 blades on his thighs, and finally 2 in his calves."

Kevin pointed to Alyssa who had turned livid and said : "That's right ... Go see for yourself, not only you will find her weapons where you just told me, but also all her weapons are of high grade quality, I don't know who she works for, but what I'm sure is that they must be high in the hierarchy."

Solomon was flabbergasted, the first thing that came to his mind was that this was not possible ... Alyssa had been part of their family for so long, if she had been an assassin, he would have known.

But if Kevin was right then he was right about everything, because if she had managed to fool all of them, even Derek, then she must have been one of the best assassins, and so she must have been hired directly by whoever was in charge of eliminating them or maybe by the King himself.

He had a moment of hesitation before doing what he had to do, he was the leader of the rebellion, he couldn't let his personal feelings get in the way of his judgment, and since Kevin had managed to instill doubt in his heart, he had to check for himself if what he had told him was correct or not.

When he approached Alyssa he saw that the glow in her eyes had changed, they had turned cold as ice and he could see a glimmer of disdain that he had never noticed before.

When he took away her weapons one by one, she said absolutely nothing, still looking at him with that cold and disdainful look, and when he saw that all her weapons were made of Verarium, an ore so rare that only the King's generals were equipped with weapons made with it, the doubt wasn't allowed any more.
