Chapter 80 Hero Assasination

[Moments Earlier]

"It's about time..."

Adam Sanchaz rose up from his bed with a resolute expression on his face.

As his eyes stared into the distance, his face directly confronting the door that stood meters away, he had a vacant facade.

His lips trembled slightly as he hid the special dagger in his pocket.

'It's pretty late now. It's the perfect moment to strike...'

To prepare for this moment, he had been granted another Enchanted Item by his partner—a Stealth Necklace.

Using that, along with his sole B-Tier Skill, Adam figured he could get the job done.

'No matter how strong he is... Adonis will be vulnerable in his sleep!'

The floor seemed to creak as Adam took steps forward. It could have been his imagination, but he felt like it took longer than usual to get to the door.

Once he did, however, he gently placed his hand on the knob.

"Haaa..." He took a deep breath and relaxed himself.

Right now, he didn't need to have any useless thoughts. His goal was simple, and the stage was set for him to perfectly execute it.

'Just think about tomorrow... and the day after that!'

The image of himself being the new leader, impressing everyone with his abilities in the Royal Dungeon, as well as being promoted to Alpha Class, filled his thoughts.

Soon, Adam was able to forget the final vestiges of fear that clawed at his heart.

"Let's begin."

He activated his Stealth Necklace and instantly became invisible.

Enchanted Items came in various grades, depending on their effects. This one was among the top of the highest grade Items, so its potency surpassed regular Stealth Necklaces.

Unless someone used a special Skill, it was practically impossible to tell where he was.

He twisted the doorknob and went outside.

It was dark.

The living room had no one occupying it at such an hour, so Adam could understand why there was no light to greet him.

To his relief, no one was in the living room—except one person.

'Billy?! What the hell is he doing there...?' Adam nearly had a heart attack once he noticed the boy's slightly slouching silhouette.

Billy was currently standing in front of Rey Skylar's room, his fists clenched tightly.

He had a scary expression on his face, one that caused Adam to shiver a little. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Adam could feel his Mana drain very quickly, but thankfully he was able to open the door enough for him to squeeze himself through the small opening that had formed.

Adam swiftly took his chance and slipped through, gently undoing the effects of his Skill as he entered enemy territory.

"Huff... huff..."

It was a lot more difficult than he expected, but Adam just succeeded in the second phase of his plan.

His lips curled up to form a smile as he took in one more deep breath and approached his target's bed.

Adam took his time looking at Adonis' room while he advanced.

'It's a lot more normal than I expected. Pretty much the same as mine...'

He had heard that Adonis was offered a separate—more luxurious space—to live in, but the kind and humble Hero declined.

He wanted to be as close to his classmates as possible, so he chose to remain here.

'Whatever! Once I'm Hero and I'm offered the chance, I'll take it!'

For Adam, it was important to display hierarchy.

Leaders at the top, followers at the bottom—that was how order was established in any society.

'I shouldn't get careless now that I've come this far...' Adam tiptoed as he neared Adonis' bed.

He knew it was unnecessary since the Stealth Skill already erased his presence, but Adam kept doing it anyway.

... Until finally, he stood right beside Adonis.

'There you are, Hero!'

The room was dark, so seeing was a little difficult, but it was clear that Adonis was fast asleep.

It was just as his partner said.

The perfect time to strike Adonis down was now! Adam knew he wouldn't ever get such an easy chance, so he readily pulled out his dagger from his pocket.

He couldn't help the snake-like grin on his distorted face.

'This will be too easy!'
