Chapter 667: Assassins and Kali's Terrifying Display.

At the same time Yasenia unfolded her Golden Key, the beast heirs took the chance and used their silver key.

The silver radiance caught the attention of a few, but most eyes remained on Yasenia. Laurina felt bad using Yasenia as a distraction, but she had heard Yasenia urging her in her head with mental messages, so she had no other choice but to accept.

Sarah also approached one of the doors stealthily and waited. Since she also had a golden key, she was thinking about what to do to pass without being in danger.

Bai Ling, the white-haired, blue-eyed woman, asked with a curious tone. "Sarah, what are you going to do?"

Her tone was flat, but there was a testing tone hidden within. Of all the ten women, Bai Ling was the only one who was still in the sixties affection-wise.

A message popped into Sarah's vision.

[System Dialogue Triggered]

[1. Let's wait until Yasenia attracts all the attention, and we use ours. Most people will focus on them, so we'll have an easier time.] (-5 Affection Points Bai Ling, -3 affection points with righteous members, +55 free attribute points.)

'55? That's equivalent to twenty of the usual dialogue option attribute rewards.'

[2. We should stay hidden until most people leave. There is another golden key holder, and that's our opportunity] (<Weapon Refining Ticket>, +1 affection point Bai Ling)

'Weapon refining... With that, I should be able to strengthen my current sword further.'

[3. Let's act now. I have a few defensive treasures I can use.] (+2 Affection Points Bai Ling, +1 attribute point.)

'This is the safe option... Hm... But I will need to use those treasures.'

Sarah began pondering, and when she saw Yasenia's aura burst and even materialize into a dragon form, she chose.

'This is the best considering the future. I'll become stronger and avoid using as many defensive treasures.'

Sarah said seriously. "Let's wait until Yasenia attracts all the attention, and we use ours. Most people will focus on them, so we'll have an easier time."

[Ding! Bai Ling's affection has dropped by 5 points.]

[Ding! Lana's affection has dropped by 3 points.]

[Ding! Paledora's affection has dropped by 3 points.]

[Ding! Astarea's affection has dropped by 3 points.]

[Ding! Soraia's affection has dropped by 3 Points.]

[Ding! Lea's affection has dropped by 3 points.]

[Ding! Lillian's affection has increased by 1 point.]

[Ding! You've received 55 attribute points.]

[Congratulations! Lillian's affection points have reached 100 points. You've received 20,000 Shop Points, <Skill Proficiency Ticket>, <Lover's second chance (reduced cooldown)>, and ten free attribute points.]

Sarah shook her head for a second. 'Well, in the end, it was worth it. System, place the attribute points in physique and energy at equal rates.'

Her eyes went toward her inventory, and she organized the defensive treasures at the top just in case.

It was then that many low-level Epoch Core cultivators began charging energy as if getting ready to attack Yasenia.

Yasenia's charming and languid laughter echoed in the room. "It seems that you are ready to die."

While speaking, Yasenia's eyes suddenly sharpened as her tail lashed to her left.

From a very faint shadow, a man covered in black clothes slashed toward Yasenia's neck, but his sword was met with the solid scales of the dragoness, creating a loud metallic sound.

The man snorted and hastily retreated.

Yasenia's pupils thinned. "Since you've come, stay here, Wu Jing."

This person was the leader of the Nine Silent Fang Sect inside the place they were, with assassination skills that were incomparable to anyone present.

However, he was sorely lacking in front of Yasenia's draconic perception.

A dragon's sense of danger and surroundings was not to be underestimated. Much less when Yasenia was actually using her War intent and Monarch Intent, which boosted her aura and perception among many other buffs.

When Yasenia extended her hand in a claw-like form and pulled, the image of a giant golden dragon claw manifested in front of Wu Jing and copied Yasenia's motion, rushing toward him.

[Sun Dragon Claw] could be used offensively. Still, it was similar to having the ability to manifest a hand in her immediate surroundings formed by the energy of one or various attributes and control it at will.

Wu Jing reacted quickly and slashed at it, creating a massive arc of energy, but instead of splitting the claw as he expected, the dragon's hand exploded and pushed him back.

His eyes hardened as a feeling of danger shrouded his body. 'I need to dodge.'

His body became black smoke, and in the next instant, [Draconic Heart] pierced his position with tremendous Sun energy rotating around it.

Wu Jing appeared a few tens of meters away, and managed to rejoin the group and hide his presence.

Or so he thought.

Kali's eyes flashed coldly. 'Do you think you can hide from me?'

She pointed upward in one place, and dozens of roots exploded from the floor, entangling a single figure.

Wu Jing's eyes were wide open, and he spoke for the first time. "How did you sense me?"

Valeria spoke softly. "Well done, children. Excellent use of threats, shows of strength, and mind games."

The girls smiled, feeling happy they hadn't let their caring seniors down.

The golden door filled five minutes later, and the girls stepped inside.

Of course, Yasenia didn't know that Sarah also had a golden key and that her actions had thwarted Sarah's plans of using her as bait.

Sarah was frowning, feeling helpless and somewhat resentful of Yasenia. 'I lost affection points for nothing... Well, I should've realized that a strong reward like fifty-five attribute points would be accompanied by danger.'

With a sigh, she thought about what to do and decided to wait until the following golden key appeared and use it simultaneously.

Bai Ling laughed at her side. "It didn't go your way, it seems."

Sarah pouted. "Don't remind me. We'll wait for the next golden key and use it simultaneously. Start preparing for that moment."

The girls around her laughed, and they all began preparing.

The fight would happen two hours later, and Sarah would need to use two protective life-saving treasures before they could pass their hurdle and enter.

Author: We are inside~.

Kali: They are a bit cowardly, no?

Andrea: ... Kali, if I were on the other side, I would also be scared.

Angel: Why didn't the other assassins attack?

Yasenia: Baby, what would you think about a person I fought seriously and who beat me up badly?

Angel: I would try to capture them!

Evelyn: Capture?

Angel: Yes, so we can kill them slowly later.

Evelyn: ...

Yasenia: Cough, okay, that might be a bad example. But wouldn't you feel that they are strong?

Angel: Of course! But I would be careful and try to capture them to give that person to Mommy Tatyana to punish. Those who hurt you must suffer, Yasenia.

Yasenia: Baby, you are so cute~.

Evelyn: Nonono, even if her tone is sweet and she is hugging you, where is the cuteness?

Angel: *Looks at Evelyn with her big blue blinking moist eyes and tilts her head.*

Evelyn: Okay. I surrender.

Author: Hahaha, I summon you!

WPOmega: Alo~. Today, I come with an exciting request, Author.

Author: Oh?

WPOmega: Can you summon Zephyrith?

Sierra: Eh?

Author: Yes! I've even perfected the summoning array so that they are not confused when they are summoned here!

Puff!

Zephyrith: Hm? Why have I been called here?

WPOmega: Hello, Zephyrith.

Zephyrith: You are the one asking questions? Go ahead.

WPOmega: Yes, do you find yourself missing your meet-ups with Sierra while the trials are going on?

Sierra: Oy!

Zephyrith: Hm? Are you shy, Sierra?

Sierra: Sight, that's not it.

WPOmega: Hahaha, then what?

Sierra: Cough, whatever. Answer already.

Zephyrith: Fufu~. Well, I do miss them a bit. But I decided not to think about it anymore; after all, Sierra and I are destined to be enemies.

Sierra: ...

WPOmega: Thanks for answering!

Author: And that's all for today.
