Chapter 498: Assassin King I

After getting rid of the entanglement of 'Sword of Fury' Sadie and having enough time to think, Dean can already confirm that the 'King of High Race' who was beheaded by him before should be a counterfeit.

Aside from the fact that the opponent only has an xp value of 20, which does not match the strength of the high-ranking high-ranking king Baiyin who was close to the peak, the guard who was rumored to have been following the high-ranking king and who is not inferior to any gold-level powerhouse did not appear !

This is absolutely abnormal!

You know, for this mysterious guard, Dean is ready to rely on the recovery of the [God Crystal] to resist the opponent's attack and assassinate King Gao Sai.

Obviously, though, at some point, an accident happened.

The 'Gao Sai Wang' who appeared on the viewing stand today, no matter how similar his looks and temperament, is nothing but a fake!

As for where it really is?

Dean carefully looked at the study in front of him.

In the entire Golden City of Gaosai Palace, this is the most likely place where the King of Gaosai will appear.

The memory of Gaosai Palace in his mind made it easy for Dean to make such a judgment—after all, although there are many secret rooms in the entire Gaosai Palace, only the secret room in the study in front of him is the same as that of Gaosai King. identities match.

As the opponent's king, even in the palace, he is still conspicuous, and everyone is watching him wherever he goes.

Therefore, with Gao Saiwang's wisdom, he would never do something eye-catching.

What's more, according to Dean's investigation, the secret room in the study in front of him is the center of the secret room in the entire Gaosai Palace.

Simply put, any of the secret chambers in the Gaosai Palace can be easily reached from here.

Therefore, no matter what secret things Gao Saiwang has to do. This is a necessary 'entry'.

Move your steps carefully. With silent steps. Dean approached the study slowly.

If King Gao Sai is really here, then that mysterious guard must also be here.

For this mysterious gold-level guard, Dean will never be careless.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When Dean was within ten yards of the study,

He stopped suddenly.

A hole as thick as an index finger suddenly appeared on the golden wall of the study in front of him.

The holes are deep and there is no luster.

But the gold wall inside the hole is very smooth, no different from the outside wall. It's like the air vent left on it in the early days of new construction.

Dean wouldn't think it was a vent, though.

Not only is this hole appearing in the very center of the wall, any building’s vent hole would not appear in such a conspicuous place, but more importantly, there is a residual breath exuding from this hole—” Shadow Bolt 'Kodo.

Dean easily discerned the residual breath.

And, a picture instantly appeared in my mind——

Under the shroud of night, an arrow suddenly appeared, piercing through the wall made of gold silently. Hit the target in the room.

This goal is Gao Saiwang? Or... the mysterious guard?

Dean mused.

'Shadow Arrow' Kodo is 'loyalty' to Fendel.

And Fendel's goal has always been Gao Sai's throne.

so. King Gao Sai naturally became a thorn in Fendel's side and a thorn in his flesh.

Therefore, if there is a chance, Fendel would definitely not mind letting his elder brother die; therefore, the first target must be King Gao Sai.

However, the mysterious guard beside King Gao Sai is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.

If you want to get rid of King Gao Sai, you must get rid of the mysterious guard.

However, if two gold-level powerhouses fight, even if the building in front of them is completely made of gold, they will not be spared. Even the entire Golden City will definitely look like ruins.

On the wall in front of him, there was only a hole the size of an index finger.

This is so abnormal.

Dean, who was meditating, scanned the holes in the golden wall again and again, and then he made a new discovery——

The hole is deep and opaque, and it has not changed in the slightest from the previous one at first glance.

It also forms a clear contrast with the brilliance of the golden wall, which is particularly eye-catching.

However, according to Dean's understanding, a room like Gao Saiwang's study room will have a magic lamp that will not go out all the year round. Even if the walls are thick, it will not prevent the magic lamp from emitting a ray of light, let alone the light in the gold. Under the reflection of the light, it should be more transparent.

Dean, who was attracted most of his attention by the residual breath on the hole at first, didn't notice this.

However, when Dean starts to have doubts, it becomes obvious.

"There are no special fluctuations produced by the magic lamp, or... any fluctuations, sounds, smells, nothing!"

Relying on his own perception, Dean wanted to explore the room in front of him, but found nothing.

However, such nothing made the corners of Dean's lips curl up.

Because, he discovered the tricks in it.

"Cover everything up?"

Dean thought to himself.

This kind of cover-up was naturally aimed at Kodo the 'Shadow Arrow', making it impossible for Kodo to lock on the target.

However, the other party obviously didn't know that 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo and even Fendel had already left.

And this is naturally Fendel's arrangement: the ring of the King of Conquerors that Fendel presented yesterday!

Similarly, the identity of that target can also be determined——

The mysterious bodyguard of King Gao Sai!

"The fake 'Gaosai King' should belong to Fendel! Then, Fendel came here, attracted the attention of the mysterious guard, and let the 'Shadow Arrow' Kodo succeed in a sneak attack, but the mysterious guard did not Killed, only injured! However, Fendel obviously expected such a situation, there was something in the Conqueror King's ring that could interfere with the judgment of the mysterious guard, causing him to have a "shadow" Arrow' Kodo's confrontation, and Fendel will take the fake 'Gaosai King' to participate in the founding ceremony on the last day. Then, this fake 'Gaosai King' will announce in public such as abdicating to Fendel Kind of news..."

Almost instantly. Dean figured out what Fendel's plan was.

He can completely imagine that once that fake 'Gao Sai King' announces such a thing in public.

Even if the real Gao Saiwang is still alive, it will be useless to show up again.

Fendel will definitely control the entire Emerald City as quickly as possible, and then clean up all those who will not be loyal to him.

Then, Fendel will return here, and slowly clean up the mysterious guard and Gao Saiwang.

for this. Dean was convinced.

"An accident?"

Dean chuckled from the bottom of his heart, he was really happy to be able to inadvertently destroy Fendel's plan.

However, this did not change Dean's original plan - to assassinate Gao Saiwang!

Although according to Fendel's arrangement, with the ring of the Conqueror King as a 'bait', the King of High Race definitely fell into a very bad situation, but this does not mean that the other party will definitely die.

Even, there will be unknown changes.

And he didn't have time to wait slowly for King Gao Sai to die.

so. King Gao Sai must die now!

Confirming his plan again, Dean quickly adjusted his state. Then, holding the long sword that belonged to the guards of Gaosai Palace, he approached the study in front of him again—the commotion in the square had already turned the entire Gaosai Palace into chaos, especially the news of the assassination of 'King Gaosai' After it was heard, it made the whole palace even more chaotic.

Because of this, it was possible for Dean to come here so openly, and he was able to find a handy weapon.

However, the gold-ranked powerhouse he was about to face made Dean cautious.

It's the same even if the opponent is injured, or even restrained.

The strong gold is the strong gold.

Even ten silver ranks together cannot compete with one true gold rank if there is no special opportunity.

At this moment, Dean has surpassed the ordinary silver level to a certain extent, but there is still some distance from the real gold level-if it is not because of the talent [Mountain Lash] and the special item [God Crystal], Dean is absolutely unwilling to face a gold-level powerhouse, especially when the weapon [Dragon Head Great Sword] is not in his hand.

However, the current situation did not give Dean more opportunities to choose.

Standing on the steps in front of the study, Dean didn't push the door to enter.

Holding the long sword in his hand, he pushed the door of the study with the tip of the sword.

Without any sound, the door that was also made of gold opened silently.

Darkness, darkness.

In front of Dean's eyes, there were no furnishings that belonged to the study room, the only thing left was a still darkness, deep and invisible, and even the opened door disappeared with the rotation of the door shaft. In the darkness, it seemed to be swallowed up.

Dean glanced at the door hinges, black and gold were clearly separated.

The sun shone through the open door, but it didn't bring any light, just like the door, it was swallowed by darkness.

Dean raised his long sword and approached the darkness in front of him with the long sword.

The tip of the sword pierced into the darkness, but Dean who was holding the sword didn't feel anything.

There is no difference between piercing into the air out of thin air.

Dean frowned slightly, and the long sword in his hand shook slightly, and suddenly, a burst of flame appeared on the long sword.

call!

With the sound of flames beating, on half of the blade of the long sword, flames rose brightly, while the other half, which was submerged in the darkness, remained dim and was swallowed by the darkness.

Dean twitched the long sword, and as the upper half of the blade moved away from the darkness, the flame slowly appeared—it didn't exist originally, but slowly appeared after leaving the darkness.

Dean could clearly feel the difference.

And just when the blade was about to leave the darkness completely, the originally static darkness suddenly spun, and suddenly there was a huge, irresistible suction force, which sucked the long sword tightly.

Instinctively, Dean wanted to let go of the hilt, to get rid of the attraction of darkness to the long sword.

However, the swirling darkness suddenly rushed forward and swallowed Dean with his sword.

then--

Snapped!

The golden door hidden in the darkness was closed again.

Just like before Dean came.
