Chapter 1602 Chapter 1424: Dance under the moonlight

In a city not too far from Gracier and the others location, Sera who head out first to accomplish a mission was under an attack. She received an alert telling her the others were under an attack.

In a room.

''Well, assassins are coming. I don't know how they know I'm here. Still, it won't be too bad to play with them.''

Sera, who had been watching the window, closed her eyes slowly and fell into thought. She spread her mana to act as a sensor to detect the enemy and made preparation.

'... In 5 seconds, the window will be shattered and a man will break in. The weapon will be a dagger, and it will target my left shoulder.'

And the next moment, the window on the right was shattered and a masked man broke into the room.

"Ha!!"

Realizing that Sera was staring at him, the man immediately finished his assessment and began to aim at Sera's left shoulder.

It was a cold and terrifying prediction that could only come true because she an assassin herself, the cream of the crop, after all she is Zero, the deadliest assassin alive.

"It's within my prediction."

Sera blocked the strike with her fan, then quickly turned and began to observe the door to the left of the room.

'Sensing the flow of air coming in from outside the door... there is one person on each side of the door. Looking at the body shape, height, and posture, both are within distance to strike.'

Sera knew all the strategies and tactics they used, as she had already seen them and used them as well. It was the standard training method.

So Sera could easily predict what the assassins would do if she thought logically. It was as if she were predicting the future.

'So as soon as the door opens, the two men standing on the edge will jump in the right and left directions, respectively, after attacking me. Then...'

After completing her assessment, Sera kicked the bewildered man's shin, then grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up in front of her.

Boom!!

And at that moment, the door crashed open and the two assassins who broke in attacked her and retreated to opposite ends of the room.

"Keuugh!!"

However, their daggers pierced the man Sera had used as a shield.

'Next, two people will come down from the ceiling at the same time and try to stab me with a sword. At the same time, the guys on opposite ends of the room will prepare a follow-up attack.'

With that thought in mind, Sera twisted the stiff neck of the man, who had been stabbed, and kicked the chair to her right. She then grabbed onto the limp man, and started running to the left.

– Crumble!!

And at that moment, the ceiling collapsed, and the two assassins landed on the floor.

The two of them were trying to stab Sera, but suddenly, they found she far away and started infusing aura into their swords.

"Ugh!"

"Cough! Cough!"

And at the same time, the assassin, who was aiming for a chance at the bottom of the floor, suddenly ingested the lunar mana that seeped through the floor, and fell to his knees while vomiting blood.

"... Shit!"

The man with the dagger, who watched this scene with a stunned expression, began screaming and running towards the window.

"Hooot!!"

"Kuk!"

But as he approached just in front of the window, an owl made of darkness suddenly popped out and scratched his eyes fiercely with its claws.

''Ugh!"

''Please noo!" The assassin fearing for his life pathetically pleaded not to be killed.

But Sera, who was staring at the assassin coldly, relentlessly broke his neck and headed for the window.

'The moment I close the window, an assassin watching the situation will fire a poison stinger but this is just a distraction as he was the strongest among them.'

Their movements were swift and precise, each strike calculated and deadly. Sera's eyes gleamed with determination as she fought against the skilled assassin. The clash of metal echoed in the silent room, a dance of death unfolding between the two adversaries.

With a sudden twist of her wrist, Sera disarmed the assassin, sending his dagger clattering to the floor. She held her black dagger at his throat, the cold blade pressing against his skin. The assassin's eyes widened in surprise, realizing he had underestimated her.

"You may be the strongest among them, but I am the deadliest," Sera whispered, her voice laced with a hint of danger.

The assassin's expression turned from defiance to fear as he realized the tables had turned. Sera's grip tightened on the dagger, her resolve unyielding.

"Which group are you affiliated to? Who sent you as you different those outside" she demanded, her eyes piercing into his soul.

Of course the assassin didn't answer, twisting his body in a strange manner after smoke rose from underneath his clothes, he tried to eliminate Sera but she snickered before moving.

Sera anticipated the assassin's desperate attempt to break free, his movements fueled by fear and desperation. With a quick and fluid motion, she dodged his attack, the black dagger slashing through the air with lethal precision. The assassin's attempt was futile as Sera's experience and skill surpassed his own.

As he stumbled backward, Sera's expression remained cold and unyielding. She closed the distance between them in an instant, her eyes fixed on her target with unwavering focus. The assassin's eyes widened in realization that he had underestimated Sera once again.

With a swift and decisive strike, Sera incapacitated the assassin, rendering him powerless and at her mercy. The room fell silent, the only sound being the faint breaths of the defeated assassin.

"Your silence speaks volumes," Sera said with a steely gaze. "But know this, your actions have consequences."

She stood tall, the moonlight casting a haunting glow on her face as she prepared to torture the man.

As the moonlight bathed the room in an eerie glow, Sera's expression remained stoic and unwavering. The defeated assassin lay at her feet, his fate now in her hands. With a chilling calmness, Sera began to execute her plan for retribution.

She moved with calculated precision, each action deliberate and methodical. The room filled with the sound of the man's muffled cries as Sera's interrogation turned into a ruthless display of power. She had honed her skills in the art of extracting information, and she used every tool at her disposal to break the assassin's resolve.

The man's screams echoed off the walls, a haunting symphony of pain and desperation. Sera's eyes reflected the cold determination that fueled her actions, her heart hardened by the darkness of the world she inhabited.

Despite the man's pleas for mercy, Sera remained resolute, unyielding in her pursuit of answers. The torture continued, each moment pushing the assassin closer to the brink of surrender. And when he finally broke, when he whispered the name that Sera sought.

''As expected it related to the Chaos Organization and to think a new Queen of the Underworld would emerge. She's worth going after.'' Sera mumbled, eyes gleaming dangerously.

The moon watched in silent witness as Sera smiled, planning what to do next.
