Chapter 634: How Could The a.s.sa.s.sin Fail?

When Annan was thinking about Salvatore, Salvatore seemed to have a tacit understanding and contacted Annan.

Annan? Can you hear me? In the standing mirror in Annans bathroom, Salvatores face emerged.

Salvatore seemed a little nervous.

He moved a small stool over and sat in front of the mirror in formal attire. He leaned forward slightly with his hands on his knee.

He glanced at the Winters Hand behind Annan with only half of his body exposed and looked embarra.s.sed,

Oh

, you have someone with you.

Thats just an elder taking care of my daily life. Annans clothes were slightly damp, and his hair was wet. He was wearing a thick, furry coat on his upper body.

He gave a gentle and harmless smile. My family lacks a sense of security. They always think that I might be abducted at any moment So when Im at home, at least one person usually keeps an eye on me.

That must be uncomfortable.

Its also a kind thought. Annan replied.

He tilted his head, Is there anything you can do to find me suddenly? Or to experiment with this new ritual?

Oh yes, Annan! Hearing Annans words, Salvatore reacted, This is my newly developed ritual. What do you think?

Is it in the mirror realm?

Youre right! Salvatores expression showed signs of exhaustion, but his tone was rather excited. Ive been thinking since Teacher is now the Pope of the Mirror Realm, will I have the chance to meet the Man in the Mirror in person?

So, what happened?

Its a favorable outcome!

Senior Salvatore happily shared what he saw, Before the Man in the Mirror held the ascendancy ritual, he practiced Idol Magic! His ability to give life to golems and his superb technology of manipulating time impressed me. I admire him a lot but since I dont have the affinity of the Idol Magic, I can only admire his achievement from a distance.

I was blessed with the signature token from the Man in the Mirror. It can be used as an unlimited number of real names, and it also has a considerable degree of power. With this token, it provides a steady stream of infinite overlapping echoes and influence. I can experiment with a new ritual in the mirror realm!

So, you made a video call to me in the end.

Annan had a weird expression.

However, its quite convenient

Whats the name of this ritual? How does it cost?

I call it [Mirror Reflecting Friends.h.i.+p].

Its a straightforward name.

As for utilizing a cheaper and stable curse vessel in the future, I will find another way to optimize it.

Speaking of this, Salvatore showed a bright smile, After all, I sleep less than ordinary people You know it too.

Well, Im your secret keeper, after all. Annan nodded.

After Clarence died, Salvatores secret keeper was transferred to Annan.

Because of the curse [Never-Sleeping Reflection], Salvatore was forced to stay up late daily. He could only fall asleep at 3 a.m. and wake up at 9.00 a.m.

And the second curse he got when he advanced to Silver Rank limited him to sleep no more than six hours a day for every hour he slept beyond that, his outward appearance aged by one year, but his lifespan did not increase.

Luckily, there was a way around it.

After all, in terms of judgment, being in a coma did not count as sleeping.

Salvatores mood calmed down instead as long as he stayed up until he pa.s.sed out, he could catch up on sleep naturally.

Once accepted such a setting, it became a reasonable excuse for staying up late and working overtime.

But did you specifically contact me just to test the effectiveness of the ritual? Annan asked.

Ive tried it twice in a long-distance setting and tested the possibility to change the name this time is mainly to test if the ritual can cross the barrier and enable communication across different countries. The results are promising.

Salvatore was in a good mood, The other thing is to tell you about the news from the Noah Kingdom. You left without traces, so I cant contact you.

As he spoke, he began to complain.

Okay, okay, Annan rea.s.sured him, What news? About Kafni?

There is a Fallen named Blood Fiend in the capital. Do you know that? He has attained a deep level of demonization, and his [appendage] has almost formed. Its power is equivalent to a Gold Rank without awakened elements.

While recalling, Salvatore said slowly, But, the fiend was killed not long ago.

Are you talking about the [Ritualist Killer]? Wasnt he killed long ago?

At first, Philip thought he had killed Blood Fiend. He didnt expect that Blood Fiend only had one head left, but he still didnt die.

Salvatore explained, Then, he was attacked by the Blood Fiend in his room. He was in a sorry state, and the Blood Fiend killed his lover. But he was lucky to be safe in the end.

So Philip survive it,

huh

?

Annan was surprised, How did he do it?

He wasnt surprised that Blood Fiend wasnt dead.

Because it was Delicious Wind Goose who attacked Blood Fiend at that time he deliberately didnt kill Blood Fiend.

This was originally a collaboration between them. It was just that very few people knew about it.

Annan wondered why Blood Fiend didnt kill the unsuspecting Philip.

Philip was not a Gold Rank Transcender nor a Fallen.

Philip was merely a veteran ritualist.

How could he fail to a.s.sa.s.sinate the weak Philip?

Are you not ashamed?

Then, Salvatore vaguely figured out something from Annans replies.

So, is the Blood Fiend your ally?

Salvatore was in doubt. He leaned forward as if he was about to fall.

Be careful not to fall over. Annan reminded, Also, Blood Fiend is not my ally. Its just that Delicious Wind Goose brought Blood Fiend to Philips house.

I see. Salvatore felt a little sorry.

After knowing it was Annans idea to a.s.sa.s.sinate Philip, he changed the subject and stopped pitying Philip. Instead, he regretted that Philip didnt die, That should be because you didnt communicate well.

I supposed Blood Fiend didnt plan to a.s.sa.s.sinate Philip initially. However, someone noticed him, pus.h.i.+ng to kill Philip. However, he failed.

So, he has been discovered.

Yes. Salvatore replied, Its the Sacrifice Saint, The Man Against Himself. He went to the capital to search for Blood Fiend. He will find and kill any Fallen with the special ability. He has been hunting Fallen for more than a decade.

His purpose is to prevent the sacred bone of the Flesh of Sacrifice from falling into the Fallens hands.
