Chapter 590 -405: Part of the Abyss Prince’s Plan?_2
Lis sized up the assassin Sinker, who was frantically trying to dodge his attacks, his gaze deep and profound.
If this Gold-level Assassin before him truly was that sort of person, accepting power from the Abyss, then Lis could be certain that Abyss Prince Demogorgon had already begun to make his move against the Elf Royal Court.
Moreover, what mattered even more was that if this was the case, the actions of Illiser Elf Elder during this period and the attack on Cecil could definitely be linked to the Destruction of the Elf Court.
Otherwise, why would the Elf Royal Court bother dividing their strength to attack Cecil if it could just remain sealed?
But… why kill Cecil?
Lis kicked Sinker away, but most of the strength in his kick was skillfully diffused by the Gold-level Assassin.
What Lis couldn’t understand was why they wanted to kill Cecil.
In other words, what connection did Cecil’s death have to the destruction of the Elf Royal Court?
Lis had noticed earlier that the reason the Illiser Elf Elder sent Cecil to meet up in the Bolin Kingdom was because of a covert attack.
That meant similar events had already occurred earlier, and not only Cecil, but others had been attacked as well.
Because of Cecil’s father?
But currently, Igley Alce should be in Jade City, which seems to have little connection with the Elf Royal Court currently.
Moreover, he has not yet broken through to the Legendary level. Although the incident was widely known among the Elf Clan, in reality, it did not affect the safety of the Elf Royal Court.
What’s more, several Legendary strongmen were stationed in the Elf Royal Court, all of whom disappeared quietly in the aftermath of its destruction.
Currently, Igley, under the schemes of that Demon Prince, should not be considered a special entity.
If this is the case, then it must be related to Cecil herself.
Cecil’s uniqueness… could it be due to her Day Elf Bloodline?
Lis furrowed his brows, his mind split between two thoughts.
From the relentless attack on Cecil by this assassin, it was clear that the opponent truly intended to kill her outright.
That is to say, the purpose of those behind the scenes was to have Cecil die here.
Was it to acquire the Day Elf Bloodline?
Lis had some speculations but was still very confused.
What use was there in obtaining a Day Elf Bloodline?
In a world where extraordinary powers exist, aside from special existences like the Dragon Clan Bloodline, in most cases, it’s difficult for special racial bloodline powers to be inherited and adapted.
Because bloodline power is often inexplicably connected to the soul of the bloodline holder, forcibly using it could instead lead to a breakdown into a pile of irrational monsters.
During the era of the Magic Empire, this was proven by “open-minded” Arcanists who studied these phenomena.
Thus, special bloodline powers are more commonly used in certain sacrifices, rituals, and some special magic items.
If it’s connected to the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, was acquiring the Day Elf Bloodline meant for some special ritual?
Thinking about this gave Lis a headache.
The available information was still too scant for him to discern the truth of the Elf Royal Court.
The most important thing now was to quickly confirm the identity of the assassin before him; earlier conjectures were based on the assumption that he was an underling of Demogorgon.
Lis looked at Sinker before him, increasing the speed on his longsword a notch.
He didn’t entertain the thought of capturing Sinker and searching his soul, although he had found several types of spells to do just that in the Dream Library of the Azela Floating City. However, the opponent’s soul might contain special prohibitions.
If these were prohibitions set by the Demon Prince, rash exploration might even expose him directly to the dangers of facing Demogorgon.
The destruction of the Elf Royal Court was utterly sinister, making Lis even more cautious.
The battle in the Elf Forest continued, the surrounding towering trees falling due to the aftermath of the battle, with broken branches and leaves scattering everywhere. What was once a tranquil forest had turned into a fierce battlefield filled with flashing blades and cutting swords.
Lis darted swiftly through the trees, his sword flashing, each strike carving deep marks on the trunks. These sword marks, like the brands of war, recorded the intensity and cruelty of the battle.
The assassin clad in black garments could only flee in disarray, as pitiable as a stray dog.
The air was filled with the dust of destroyed trees, mixed with the scent of soil and fresh grass.
“Uh~”
With a painful cry, Sinker, looking somewhat pale, held his left forearm, the dripping crimson staining the air with a hint of blood.
Forcing himself to blink back into retreat, Sinker managed to catch his breath only after leaning against a large tree to evade Lis’s gaze.
Something was wrong!
Sinker gasped heavily; the recent battle had kept him on high alert, each moment feeling as perilous as dancing on the edge of a knife.
If at first he felt somewhat at ease, the more the battle progressed, the more he realized the pressure Lis was exerting was escalating.

Not just in strength but even in speed had increased significantly.
Could this man have the ability to grow stronger during battle, or… had he been holding back until now?
Thinking this, Sinker became restless.
During the fight, he felt extremely stifled; no matter what ability he used, Lis countered him perfectly.
