Chapter 549 Grievously Injured

The five of them had all struggled to get the corpse. Naturally, they had equal rights on who gets to own the corpse or even share it if they all agree to it.

If they could hold onto the Atman Stage corpse, advancing to the Atman Stage was only a matter of time.

But the young master had made a promise ahead to Rutherford and frankly, since it might affect his reputation, the young master would be most certainly keep to his promise.

Although not happy with it, the others said nothing and only watched as Rutherford kept the corpse in his storage ring.

"Let's start moving."

The young master said, walking deeper into the passageway. After all, what seem to be an hour, they appeared before three doorways. It was also dark and one was unable to see through it using night vision or any sort of vision.

"Young master, I think we should split from here and meet here together in 3 hours." David suddenly suggested.

"The idea is feasible, but don't forget that we just had to fight against an Atman Stage expert just at the entrance of this place. Who knows how dangerous it will be now that we've gone deeper." The young master rejected David's suggestion.

Naturally, David knew of the danger since he could feel his skin tingling with the amount of danger presented in this place. But David didn't like to be in a team and preferred going solo since that was how he could bring out the best of his ability without anyone realising his secrets.

"We will enter through the door one by one and face the dangers in there until we've conquered the three doors."

Alan stated, walking into the guest door without hesitation, David and the others followed behind.

Kacha!

The door once again slammed close, and David reflexively looked backwards. He still wasn't used to it. "This place certainly is creepy."

His loud voice bounced off the walls and David gazed before him. His expression soon changed as he realised he was the only one here.

"Young master Alan?" There was no response, but only the echo of his voice bouncing back and forth from the walls.

"Alan?" This time, David's expression turned solemn as he swept his eyes around the place he was in. Divine senses were entirely useless in this place. He couldn't even sense the walls even if he tried to.

"What the hell?" How could four grown people disappear all of a sudden? They were just right in front of him, protecting so how come they disappeared.

David went back to the door and touched it, with the feedback he was getting from the vibrations, there was no way he would be able to break it.

"It's certainly meant to hold Demigods." David muttered. He started walking back deeper into the place.

The place looked like a huge hall. Decorated with beautiful worldly crystals and shining stones, making it lovely within. Looking almost like a Palace.

David frowned. With his night vision, he could see a large throne on a high platform with a large corpse seated on it.

Tilting his head, David got serious as he walked slowly forwards. The corpse had a huge hole in its heart and two fingers sized hole in its skull. It couldn't be any more dead since its brain had been damaged, making David relax slightly.

Best

When he checked other places, he discovered four heavy chains the width of his body sprun across the ground. It seemed it was meant to hold the corpse, but it had somehow escaped from the confinements of the chains.

Sadly, it had been struck dead before it could celebrate its escape. What worried David though was who killed them. There was the story about this place being a battlefield and a prison, but this was pure slaughter, there were no signs of struggle as they all died.

This was most certainly the work of a Demigod since the prisoners he had seen so far didn't seem to have resisted.

Naturally, and David was happy he was able to get his own Atman Stage corpse. As a Geneticist, studying the bones would give him more insight into genes and his breakthrough might be faster than the others.

Although, he was still at the penta-gene Phase, breaking through the phase was only a matter of meditating for a few days. He could already feel he had enough experience already and like the caterpillar, he was ready to advance, and he just needed a place to meditate quietly.

This place was the most suitable place, but with dangers in this place and the possibility of a demigod present, David didn't want to risk it.

David's gaze paused upon a stone platform right at the edge of the throne. There seem to be words written on the large stone.

David tilted his head and was about to walk forwards when his expression changed drastically.

"How!?" His face turned pale as he staggered forward, blood threatening to spill out from his mouth.

His chest had caved in and a finger-sized hole appeared where his heart used to be.

His figure instantly split into three and he managed to back away from his previous position in a flash.

Where he had been standing, an expressionless figure gazed directly at David, and ignoring his doppelganger.

The figure brought its index and middle to its lips and licked the blood off its long fingernails.

David staggered to his knees, his expression that of disbelief. He didn't expect to have been wounded so gravely in a moment of carelessness.

Blood poured from his heart, and spilling to the ground like a tap, his face becoming even paler as strength began to leave him.

"What are you?" He couldn't sense the figure at all, but his sense of smell was proving to be useless and even his night vision could only see faint traces of the figure's outline.

This person was the most perfect Assassin! Even its killing intent couldn't be felt in the slightest.
