Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 217 - 2: A 30,000 HP Extraordinary Peak, Are You Scared?
Just like the current Holy Empire.
Qin Feng himself was the Emperor who stood at the apex of power.
Relying on the absolute power granted by his "Riding and Cutting System"—a force comparable to the arrival of the Three-Body People—he forcibly suppressed the basic nature and hearts of all the native people under his rule.
Only then did they temporarily set aside their mutual barriers and conflicts, maintaining a state of harmonious and equal coexistence.
If Qin Feng were to lose this powerful strength capable of suppressing everyone, or if he could no longer use his "Village Management" Talent to monitor the every move of the native populace, the so-called "state of equality" would instantly collapse.
Corrupt officials would sprout like mold.
Gangsters and cultists would spread like malignant tumors.
Serial killers would bare their fangs in the shadows.
The greedy fangs of capitalism would gnaw viciously at the foundations of order...
At that time, all sorts of vile and filthy things could surge forth from the darkness, tearing everything to shreds.
As the saying goes.
He who slays the dragon eventually becomes the dragon.
Even the best of eras, with the best of leaders, will be destroyed by their ignorant, selfish, and greedy descendants—or even by those so-called good leaders themselves.
This is the irreversible, base nature of humanity.
Only a divinity of absolute reason, by imposing the shackles of perfectly just laws upon this human nature, can make it submit and ultimately bring about an immortal era.
’Will... will I be the founder of this immortal era?’
As he pondered, Qin Feng suddenly sensed someone stealthily approaching Amilia’s tent. He immediately took out his Phantom Marching Badge and faded back into the shadows.
With a quick glance, Qin Feng assessed the situation.
There were five of them.
All were Extraordinary humans known as "Assassins."
However, they had not awakened a corresponding Talent, so they could only be considered Native Soldiers, not native heroes. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
This group, much like Qin Feng, intended to use the strange mechanics of the Invisibility skill to silently approach the sleeping Amilia.
But there was a difference.
Qin Feng only wanted to talk with Amilia tonight.
He wanted to find out which Evil God Cultist or brain-dead noble hidden in the Gulad Empire’s high command had proposed the divine strategy of "waging war on three fronts."
These Assassins, on the other hand, had silently eliminated all the Gulad Soldiers guarding the princess’s tent.
Clearly, they were here to either kill Amilia or kidnap her.
"Alright."
"The troublesome guards are all taken care of."
"Let’s deal with the final target, ’Amilia,’ and retreat immediately."
’Okay, so their motive is confirmed. They’re not trying to kidnap Amilia; they want to kill her outright.’
But what was uncertain was which faction had sent these Extraordinary Assassins.
’An anti-racial-equality extremist group from the Gulad Empire?’
’The army of the Evil God hiding in the shadows?’
’The Kingdom of Ventecenia to the south?’
’Or perhaps the island nations to the west?’
Thinking of this, Qin Feng decided to watch from the shadows and see how things played out.
He silently flicked a finger, sending an inconspicuous little pebble flying with a barely audible whistle. It landed gently on Amilia’s face, startling her awake without causing any injury.
And since this light touch was not an "attack," it didn’t pull him out of his "Invisibility state" and back into reality.
"Ngh... You!?"
Amilia, having just been startled from her sleep, immediately spotted the five Extraordinary Assassins who had crept into her tent. Her voice was filled with unprepared panic.
"Eh?"
"She actually woke up?"
One of them clicked his tongue softly, clearly not expecting this hitch in their plan. He had thought they could get it done in one go while she was asleep.
However, it wasn’t a major problem. The five of them had long anticipated unexpected situations.
That’s why they had drugged Amilia’s dinner beforehand. It was an Extraordinary Potion brewed from rare materials that could plunge a Transcendent into a "weakened" and "helpless" state for several hours, ready for the slaughter.
Sensing that the Extraordinary Power within her body had been sealed by the drug, Amilia’s youthful face showed no sign of panic. Instead, she calmly asked the men:
"Who are you?"
Qin Feng, intrigued, also hid to the side to observe.
However, things didn’t go as he’d hoped. The common TV tropes of "the villain dies from talking too much" or "the antagonist loves to reveal their identity" did not play out.
The five Assassins remained silent from start to finish. They simply closed in on Amilia in silence, the daggers in their hands glinting coldly, clearly intending to kill her instantly.
’Worthy of being an Extraordinary Soldier Type called "Assassin." They really are professionals.’
With that thought, Qin Feng suddenly dropped his Invisibility. He reverse-gripped the Champion’s Axe from his back, powerfully pushed off with his feet in a Forward Charge, and followed with a great leap.
In a flash of cold light, the sharp axe was already whistling through the air, cleaving an Assassin who failed to react in two, from the top of his head straight down to his groin.
"What!?"
"Extraordinary Peak!?"
The sudden, bloody scene plunged the remaining Assassins into an icy dread, a chill shooting from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads.
They never imagined that such a figure was hidden in the tent, much less that he was an Extraordinary Peak master who had reached the pinnacle of combat power.
This?
What’s going on?
Didn’t Lord Nesia say that all the Gulad heroes who had reached the Extraordinary Peak realm had been sent to the southern and western battlefronts by the Flame Emperor, Galukasa?
Why is there still a peak-level master hiding by Amilia’s side, secretly protecting her?
