Chapter 53 - Total Annihilation
Following the total defeat of the assassins on the second-floor storeroom, their leader was starting to grow impatient outside.
She frowned.
Why would a trivial matter take them so long to investigate?
She didn't understand nor could she figure out what these people were doing and was getting impatient by the minute.
As an assassin, the thing that mattered the most was efficiency.
But it had been such a long time since they entered, yet they had not returned.
"Were they ambushed?"
As soon as this thought came up, it was immediately ruled out.
The probability was zero.
Even if the princess' teacher came, he could destroy the baron's castle with ease.
Moreover, if they had the intention to kill a person, they could even kill the princess' teacher without much hassle.
"What on Earth is this incompetent lot doing? Could they be slacking off?"
Thinking about this, she paced up and down. From the looks of it, this was highly possible.
Perhaps they felt that there was no danger in there, and it was very likely for them to openly laze and hang around in the castle.
Her white, slender legs kept moving around, seemingly restless.
The leader's expression turned cold and became very menacing.
Her curvaceous and seductive body moved in the night, cautiously and quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the beauty was at the wall, looking over it for a while, her exquisite body pressing against it.
The castle was quiet.
She entered the castle swiftly and looked around the first floor.
There was no one nor were there any signs of her subordinates.
She instantly became wary.
She leaned against the wall and slowly moved her feet.
So many people had come in but where were they now?
She saw the stairs to the second floor and slowly walked up.
Upon reaching the second floor, a wooden door that looked like the entrance to a storeroom caught her attention.
Unlike before, there was now a sign hanging on the wooden door with four words written on it.
Danger! Do not enter!
The leader was speechless.
She did not take it seriously as she had seen many similar boring tricks in the past.
She thought to herself, "All my subordinates couldn't have possibly been defeated in this room, right?"
Unless there was an evil dragon inside, so powerful that her subordinates didn't even have any chance to react and eliminated them with a simple strike.
It was impossible. This storeroom couldn't accommodate such a creature.
Her beautiful face was filled with disdain.
She didn't believe it and assumed it was not possible because she knew her subordinates very well.
It was improbable for them to be killed without anyone knowing, even she was incapable of doing that.
Even if she had such thoughts, the assassins' leader would not ignore the possibilities and decided to go in for a look.
Before long, she cautiously started to tamper with the door.
After all, her underlings were gone and all her thoughts were just baseless guesses.
To prevent herself from being trapped upon entering, she chose to break the lock of this unusual storeroom.
As she approached the door, female voices suddenly came from inside.
The voices were a mixture of loud and soft, rising and falling incessant moans.
The atmosphere inside was quite fascinating.
The leader thought to herself, "Could it be that the baron and his women are inside?"
Could they handle it if she entered now?
As she was thinking about it, her body acted hastily.
Without any unnecessary movements, she broke the lock very efficiently.
She did not enter immediately. Instead, she quietly pushed open a crack and peeked into the room.
In an instant, the scene inside entered her eyes.
She was shocked!
Her mouth opened slightly, clearly looking startled.
From her perspective, she had seen everything in the room.
The scene in the room completely tore off the veil of innocence in her eyes.
The baron and his women were not inside as she had imagined.
Instead, it was a dense mass of lewd beasts, piled up in front of her eyes.
The tentacles were disorderly, flying around wildly, accompanied by the captivating notes that came out of the mouths of her subordinates.
The lewd beasts inside looked as if they were hunters who were excited to see their prey.
She saw that her subordinates, without exception, were all wrapped in this group of tentacles.
They were like puppets at the mercy of the tentacles.
The slippery tentacles wrapped around the bodies, legs, and heads of her subordinates, like playthings.
Their faces were flushed red. It was unknown if they were conscious or not, but the tentacles were crawling on their bodies.
She was dumbfounded by the view in front of her!
Her pupils contracted and her eyes widened.
She now knew why there was no news from her subordinates.
Her subordinates had all become the playthings of these tentacles and they were all tied up within the mass of tentacles.
The tentacles piled up like a mountain. It looked as if the tentacles were fighting with one another for the women.
At this moment, the monster suddenly quieted down and halted.
The assassins' leader did not know where its eyes were, but she was aware that its action was because it had noticed that someone had discovered them.
In other words, they had discovered her.
The only thought in her mind now was, "Run! You have to escape!"
She knew full well that she was no match for so many lewd beasts. There was no way she could overpower them. She did not have time to think about why there were so many lewd beasts in this area.
She turned around and attempted to run.
As for her subordinates, she did not bother anymore.
Her life was more valuable.
Just as she was about to run away, she realized that she was powerless.
She then noticed that this storeroom-like area was filled with pink gas that she had inhaled.
Her hands and feet were drained of strength as she struggled to support her body. Her face was filled with anxiety and fear.
The door that represented the exit was right in front of her eyes but it also seemed to be far away.
She tried her best to move her body.
Finally, she was about to reach the doorknob.
She was aware that her current condition was definitely caused by this pink gas.
Just as her hand was about to grab the doorknob, suddenly, she realized that her foot was entangled by something.
"W-What is this?"
She looked down and saw a tentacle wrapping around her foot, climbing up her thigh.
The sticky and disgusting tentacle was in stark contrast to her smooth and jade-like leg.
She didn't give up and pulled out a dagger.
As she was about to raise her knife and cut off the tentacle, the tentacles behind her danced horridly, instilling fear in her mind.
Her mind went blank and her body could no longer move.
She could only look helplessly at the tentacle in front of her, flying towards her.
They wrapped around her chest and arms no matter how hard she struggled.
The dagger fell to the ground while she was bound by the tentacles and dragged into the terrifying abyss.
The disgusting tentacles pulled at her body and dragged her back into the room.
