Chapter 91: Chapter 83: King of Shadow Assassins

Shen Ye pushed open the door and stepped into the secret passage of the battlefield.Actually, seriously speaking, I haven't entered the Nightmare World for three days either, and I have no idea what the situation is like here.

What am I supposed to do now?

I remember, I need to hurry to the Imperial Capital and enter the Imperial Military Academy.

After all, in this world, I have a recommendation letter from His Royal Highness the Prince and have gained the friendship of the Elves.

I need to—

Boom!!!

The deafening sound erupted, causing the ground to tremble ceaselessly.

Shen Ye's heart tensed, and he quickened his pace, rushing to the end of the secret passage and pushing hard against the door.

The door was sealed shut!

Strange.

Who did this?

Shen Ye looked around, only to see the ground littered with broken pieces of armor and weapons.

The whole secret passage seemed to have been abandoned.

Shen Ye thought for a moment, added all Attribute Points to Strength, walked to the door, and pushed with all his might—

He pushed through like a bulldozer, forcibly creating a path ahead.

A few breaths later.

Shen Ye's hands relaxed their grip, and he stumbled forward a few steps, landing on the battlefield.

Looking back, the secret passage collapsed once again, buried.

—It seems it really was abandoned.

The cries of battle were incessant all around.

Everywhere were screams.

Bodies filled the field.

Shen Ye quickly assessed the situation.

On the battlefield.

Human soldiers were charging towards Undead monsters, and as they faced the powerful Techniques of the opposition, they fell in waves like the tide.

The situation was dire.

Hadn't the humans won the battle?

Were the Undead starting to counterattack?

Shen Ye ran towards an area with fewer people.

"We can't hold here!"

A human wizard exclaimed in a low voice.

Just as he was about to retreat, a Bone Blade suddenly emerged from the void, slicing him in two.

A white, skeletal scorpion demon materialized from the shadows.

It tasted the fresh blood on its stinger, then abruptly turned its head with a fierce and murderous gaze locked on Shen Ye.

"Hey, I'm one of you—I'm The Little Match Boy," Shen Ye grimaced, showing a smile.

The monster's aura was too strong, and it seemed I was no match for it.

Damn it!

This battlefield was more dangerous than a firestorm!

If I had known it was like this, I wouldn't have come!

Shen Ye vigorously rubbed his Ring.

A bone badge immediately appeared in his hand.

The next second.

The badge was snatched away by a bone claw.

Suddenly, a blood-drenched humanoid monster emerged beside Shen Ye, emitting a heavy aura of darkness.

It said in a hoarse voice:

"The badge is real, no mistake."

"I have heard of a human boy who has sided with us... but this is not where you're supposed to be, aren't you meant to go to the human Imperial Capital?"

The murderous aura around it surged violently.

Shen Ye knew that if he didn't say the right thing, he would immediately be met with a storm-like assault from the other party.

Luckily for him, his mind worked fast, and fortune smiled upon him—

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and quickly said:

"I'm looking for Prince Norton of the Human Race! He trusts me and has no guard against me, so this is my perfect chance to assassinate him!"

The dark humanoid monster paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed:

"Good! That's the way! We've always been looking for an opportunity to kill him!"

It waved at the white bone scorpion demon, which immediately turned outward, starting to guard carefully.

"Listen, I am the Snow Demon Freg. I can take you to the Human Territory."

"If you kill Prince Norton, the Human Race will surely fall into chaos, and the outcome of this battle will be decided."

"If you succeed, the credit is yours, how about that?"

The dark humanoid monster said.

"No problem, I don't care about money, but I want revenge!" Shen Ye said.

"But do you really have his trust?" Freg, the Snow Demon, asked suspiciously.

Shen Ye took out the recommendation letter and handed it over.

After reading it, Freg seemed a bit more confident and said pensively:

"Not bad, there seems to be a glimmer of hope."

"Absolutely no problem, I'll drag him to death with me!" Shen Ye said.

The dark humanoid monster nodded slightly and spoke quickly:

"Maybe we can try—"

"I'll chase after you in a bit, and you just run straight ahead, we'll soon reach the Human Position that is under siege."

"I can only charge up to about three meters in front of their position—you escape into the Human Territory, kill the Prince, then call out loudly for me."

"I will immediately use my ultimate move to create a chance for you to escape—"

"And we'll retreat together!"

"Okay!" Shen Ye agreed.

I had no choice but to agree.

When the Snow Demon Freg appeared, the Evaluation Entry for him unfolded over his head:

"King of Shadow Assassins, Hero of the Undead Race, Collector of the heads of eleven kings, Betrayer who assassinates the gods."

Not only that.

Around Freg, in the void, one Evaluation Entry after another appeared:

"The second attendant of the King of Assassins,"

"Fifth Attendant,"

"White Night Executioner,"

"Enemy of Elves,"

"The long-renowned Undead General," S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"…"

These guys were hiding around Freg.

If it weren't for Shen Ye's ability to see Evaluation Entries, there was no way to detect them!

So—

Don't even think about rejecting anything!

The outcome of that is death!

"Won't you reconsider? Perhaps I won't arrive in time to support you, maybe you'll be killed on the spot while trying to assassinate him!"

Freg stared at Shen Ye and slowly said.

Shen Ye said with a resolute expression: "It's just death. I want to kill him—that's my revenge and the reason why I sided with your Undead Race."

Freg thought for a few moments and then said:

"Come with me."

The two strode out of the secret passage.

Freg pointed to a Human Territory on the hillside that was besieged and said:

"Go, the Human Prince is trapped there."

"I will follow behind you, and other Undead will chase you too, everything will seem very real."

"When you escape into the Human Territory—"

"Leave it to me!" Shen Ye immediately replied.

"But why would His Royal Highness the Prince save you? Even if he trusts you, on this battlefield, he has to consider the whole situation, not just rescue you alone!" Freg asked again.

Shen Ye shut his mouth.

—I'm just a youth who detests humanity!

You have so many titles above your head, and if you can't think of a solution, how can I come up with a comprehensive one?

But Freg nodded, somewhat understanding, and said: "You're blinded by revenge and too young to think of these things."

"What do you think we should do about this? I haven't considered this problem," Shen Ye said.

"Well, I'll give you a map of the Undead Position; just shout loudly that you have urgent military intelligence to report, maybe he will open up the position to save you."

"A map of the position? The Prince won't be fooled, right?" Shen Ye said.

"That's why this map is real—it only shows part of our Undead Position. The Human Race will verify its authenticity, so the Prince will believe you, and you'll have a better chance to approach him," Freg said.

"That's quite a high price to pay," Shen Ye clicked his tongue.

"To do something, there is always a price to pay; such is the case for all things in the world," Freg said.

It pulled out a black stone from its chest and handed it to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye glanced at it.

Next to the black stone, a line of glowing small script appeared:

"?????"

My ability can't identify this thing?

Strictly speaking, the "Gate" ability had only evolved once when it gained the power of Temporal Fluid.

It seems I need to wander through the Nightmare World more—

I must enhance all the abilities of the "Gate"!

But the most crucial truth right now is—

This black stone is probably not any map of positions.

Otherwise, why would it display "?????"?

"Thank you, with this, I can approach him much easier!"

Shen Ye took the black stone and said gratefully.

"Good! Off you go now!"

Freg shouted and pushed him hard.

Shen Ye used the momentum of the push to dart out, speeding towards the Human Territory.

Freg watched quietly.

"Can it succeed?" a voice rang out beside him.

"Trying it out doesn't cause much loss, just consider it a change in tactics. Besides, what if it succeeds?" Freg said in a low voice.

This seemed to convince the other party.

"Orders are being passed."

"Wait a moment—now, begin!"

Freg moved and instantly chased after Shen Ye.

Its speed was faster than Shen Ye's; as it chased, it let out roars like thunder:

"Kill that human youth!"

Along with this roar, one emergency order after another was rapidly sent out at all costs, alerting all Undead on the battlefield.

This tactic employed the most covert method of orders transmission!

The Undead along the way immediately dropped their clashing enemies and pounced toward Shen Ye.

The situation suddenly turned perilous—

Shen Ye ran and fled all the way, like a lone boat floundering in stormy seas, seemingly at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Yet the Undead controlled their force perfectly, even allowing themselves to be slain by Human soldiers but never harming him in the slightest, always allowing him to narrowly escape.

Everything looked extremely thrilling, leaving the spectators holding their breath.

Finally.

Shen Ye reached the besieged Human Territory.

"Prince Norton, save me!"

He shouted loudly.

"I have important intelligence on the Undead Race!"

After a moment.

The voice of Court Archmage Yudelia resonated from afar:

"Pass on His Royal Highness Prince Norton's orders, let him in!"

The Human Territory opened up a gap.

Two squads of knights clad in full Armor charged out, slashing wildly at the approaching Undead.

"Quick!"

A knight made way with his warhorse.

Shen Ye leaped onto the horse—with the horse shining with a golden light, it charged towards the Human Territory with him.

Amidst countless battle cries, the warhorse leaped high, clearing the defenses atop the position, and boldly descended.

Landed steadily!
