398 Chapter 397- Mission Accomplished
CLICK!
Elliott closed the door of his chamber and groaned out loud, but he had no idea that groan was the last groan he would ever do before dying.
FWIP!
He heard a sharp sound, but before he could react, Urluk had come out of the shadow and placed his dagger on Elliott's throat.
'An assassin?!' He thought. 'Only assassins can have such ability, but how did—'
Eliott couldn't even finish his thought as Urlik slit his throat all the way to the back of his neck.
"...!" Elliott tried to cover his neck and stop the blood to save his MP from decreasing. He wanted to yell, but he couldn't even let out a whimper without his throat.
Urluk kneed Elliot from the back and kicked him on the ground while forcefully pulling his neck by grabbing his hair.
THUD!

Eliott's headless body fell to the ground while his head remained in Urluk's hand.
[Did I complete the task?] he asked himself. [My liege told me to leave his body as it is, so I guess I can't bring his head to him. How would my liege know that I completed the task if I don't give him proof?
I could lie to him, and he would never know. Could it be that he trusted me so much that he knew I would never betray him? As expected of my liege! Not only was he confident that I would be able to complete his task, but he also trusted me that I wouldn't betray him!]
Urluk realized one thing after another, and his happiness increased every time he figured something out.
Urluk thought it would be a good idea to take Elliott's eyes and tongue as proof of his task completion, so he plucked Eliott's tongue and gouged out his eyes from his eyes socket.
Then he threw Elliott's head near his body and said, [I am not going against my liege's order. I left his body as it was. And no one will notice his missing eyes and tongue.]
Urluk lacked common sense and the ability to understand anything. The only thing that mattered to him was Zach's order. While he was indeed strong and formidable, it didn't change the fact that he was hopeless without Zach.
Unlike Cerberus, who possessed the intellect of a high being, Urluk was just a rank-five demon in hell.
[What was the escape route again?] he wondered.
Urluk was about to leave, but he stopped when he noticed a shadow hiding in the corner of the room. He immediately jumped on it and yelled, [Who are you?!]
"Mph hmph phm!"
It was a female guild member who was tied up. Her hands were chained, and her mouth was taped so she wouldn't yell for help.
[Why were you hiding here?!]
Urluk didn't know that it wasn't normal for someone to be tied up like that.
[Oh. no! What should I do?! My liege had warned me to not be seen by anyone, but I was seen. I made a big blunder! Now he will punish me!]
"Phm! Mph!"
The girl tried to speak, but everything was in vain. Her struggles were futile as the only thing Urluk cared about at that moment to somehow undo his blunder. And he could only think of one solution— to kill the girl.
[That's right! I can do that! If I kill her, the problem will be solved! And it would look like these two killed each other or something!]
Urluk raised his hand and killed the girl, or he would have, but he was stopped by someone. Or rather, his hand had stopped responding to him for some reason.
When Urluk looked up, he saw Zach standing there with a furious glare in his eyes. He had stopped Urluk by grabbing his hand.
"What… what do you think you are doing?!" Zach yelled at Urluk.
Urluk slammed his hand in front of Zach and bellowed, [My deepest apologies, my liege! I should have scanned the room before killing that man. My incompetence brought this on myself! Please forgive me!
You trusted me with a task, and yet I failed you. I could not be more ashamed! Please forgive— no! I don't deserve forgiveness for my actions! Please, kill me!]
"...." Zach let go of Urluk's hand and said, "Raise your head, Urluk."
Urluk slowly raised his hand but didn't dare to look into Zach's eyes.
"What had I tasked you with?"
[To kill the human named Elliott, who is the ruler of the flying castle!]
"That's right. And what did I warn you about?"
[To not be seen by anyone.]
"Exactly." Zach furrowed his brows and uttered, "When did I ever order you to kill anyone other than Elliott?"
[Y-You didn't!]
"So why were you going to kill this girl?"
[I… I did not want to fail you, my liege. This was the first ever task you had given me, so after I realized I had made a blunder, I thought you would be disappointed in me and never give me another task,] Urluk responded without looking up.
"How did you fail the mission? You did exactly as I had asked you to. If someone saw you, that's bad, but you can do nothing about it. You were supposed to run in the case, not kill the witness," Zach stated calmly.
"Listen, I know it will be hard for you to understand, but you can't kill anyone unless I ask you to. I know you weren't ready for a solo mission, but I am glad I made it on time," he sighed in relief.
[May I ask how you came here? The door of this chamber is still locked.]
"After you updated Cerberus about your location, I waited for another update, but you didn't contact Cerberus even after an hour passed. I was worried, but there was nothing I could do.
Then, Cerberus suggested that if we get near the flying castle, he would be able to sense you. And he did. He told me that you were going to kill someone, so I used spatial teleportation and the shadow connection between you and Cerberus and teleported here."
Zach untied the girl and removed the tap from her mouth to free her.
"Zach? Is that you?" the girl asked.
"You are…"
