The Return of the God Level Assassin

THIS passageway was only one-way. That meant that by the end of it, Luo Yan would arrive at the room where the body was. So, he just ran. It would be good if he reached the place before the effect of his cloak disappeared. It would add another layer of assurance to him.

Although Beelzebub said that there was no trap inside the room where the body was, what if some dark mage went there to check the body or something? He didn’t mind fighting. But that might attract the attention of the other dark mages. That’s the last thing he wanted. Especially when his goal was to get the body out of here as quick as possible.

He looked at his Status Window. There were only three minutes left before the effect of the cloak disappeared. He quickened his steps and ran at his fastest speed. The continued darkness in the passageway didn’t disappear. It just continued on and on and on. Like a dark tunnel with no end in sight.

He started to wonder just how far this passageway was until he reached a set of stairs. He stopped and looked up. The stairs, like the passageway, seemed to go on forever. But he knew that that was only the effect of the darkness surrounding him.

He could feel that he was on the last leg of his journey. And that by the end of these stairs, he would finally arrive at his destination.

So, Luo Yan ran again. This time, he trekked upwards.

As he did, he couldn’t help but marvel at how the archdemon managed to build all these under the noses of those dark mages. Well, he probably did it one day at a time. Since he had an abundance of time. If Luo Yan occupied the body of some dark mage for a thousand of years, he might also manage to do just as much.

Finally, he reached the end of the stairs.

At the end of it was a door. Luo Yan didn’t waste any time and opened it.

He instinctively closed his eyes because of the sudden brightness that assaulted his vision. It’s not because the light was too bright. It’s because he just came from a dark area and the sudden brightness simply attacked his eyes.

It took a few seconds before his eyes got used to the brightness. Once he opened them, he quickly looked around the room. The place was bare, almost like an empty room with only the lights on. Except that the room was not entirely empty.

At the center of the room was a pod-like structure. He walked towards it and saw that the pod was covered by thin light threads. And all of it was connected to the body lying inside. It was unknown if the light threads were pumping something towards the body or if it was the other way around.

Lying inside it was a man or should he say an archdemon? The other had long black hair that spread out inside the pod like black silks. He was wearing all-black clothes that fit perfectly on his body, showing just how muscular he was. Even lying down, Luo Yan could tell just how huge the guy was.

He observed the archdemon’s face. Even though the other’s eyes were closed, his features were very similar to Dusk. One could definitely see that the both were related in some way or another. The only big difference was probably the two horns on the side of his head. They were curved like that of a bull.

So, this was how Beelzebub looked like.

Luo Yan glanced at his Status Window and saw that there was still more than a minute left before the effect of the cloak disappeared. It was just enough time for him to finish what he had to do.

He took out a vial from his Items Tab. Inside was a golden liquid the same color as the threads covering the pod. It’s one of the items Beelzebub had given them. According to the archdemon, they had to pour the golden liquid on the thread for them to get the body. He didn’t really explain much. Just saying to pour the liquid onto the threads.

And so, Luo Yan did.

The moment he did, the thread slowly disintegrated. It was a bit surprising but not really that shocking. It didn’t take that long for the threads to completely disappear. According to Beelzebub, they should wait until the threads were gone before getting the body. The important point was not to touch the thread.

Although the archdemon didn’t explain to them the reason why, Luo Yan wouldn’t be adventurous enough to experiment. Especially since the situation didn’t really allowed him to. Doing so would not only be dangerous, it would also prolong his stay here.

After getting rid of the threads, he took out a black crystal from his Items Tab. This one was some kind of space stone. It could contain live beings inside. It’s just that this one was specifically made for Beelzebub’s original body. Meaning that it could only contain this body lying here and nothing else. contemporary romance

And yes, it was another item given by the archdemon. Beelzebub said that he made this crystal himself. It could not only contain his body, it could also slowly remove the seal he put on himself. That way, once they gave him the body, the transfer of his soul fragment that was inside the dark mage’s body would be much faster.

Luo Yan put the crystal on top of the body’s chest. There was a flash of blinding light. The moment it receded, the body inside the pod completely receded and only the crystal remained.

He quickly picked up the crystal and put it in his Items Tab. It would really be bad if someone stole the crystal from him. So, to be sure, it’s better to keep it in his Items Tab.

He was about to leave the room when a voice suddenly spoke from behind him.

"An uninvited guest. How interesting."

Before Luo Yan could take any action, he felt his whole body being restrained by something. And then, his body floated and turned around on its own, facing the owner of the voice.
