The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

LUO YAN looked around at the deep blue underwater surrounding him.  There were different fishes swimming around as well as beautiful corals and marine plants.  Everything just felt very real – from the marine animals to plants.  It's like he was indeed under the sea. 

He was kind of in awe again at the meticulousness of the game devs.  They really made sure that everything, even the bottom of the ocean would be as real as possible.  He was certain that if they didn't have items that helped them breath underwater, they would definitely drown.

The item the four of them used was a breathable balloon.  He called it a balloon, but it's more like a coating.  It coated their whole body, allowing them to breathe underwater and also not letting them get wet by the sea water.

The four of them were swimming towards the passageway that was connected to a lake inside the island.  According to Shen Ji Yun, this lake was located at a very inconspicuous location inside a forest.  It was the reason why he and Dusk could go inside the island last night with no problem.

Again, Luo Yan wanted to applaud Beelzebub with his thorough preparation. 

The passageway, according to Shen Ji Yun, was like a man-made tunnel that started underwater near the island and ended at the lake.  Obviously, it was Beelzebub who made that.  It's like the guy handed everything to them in a golden platter.  All they had to do was to execute it.

If, even after that, they failed, then that's on them.  They probably should evaluate their own IQ and judgement.  Because failing in this situation only meant that they did something stupid. 

He seriously just wanted to get this over and done with.  Let Dusk have his memory back, Eclipse getting his revenge for what happened to his parents and the majority of his people, and finally, get the rewards that they rightfully deserved.

Of course, that didn't mean that Luo Yan would forcefully hurry things up.  That would only lead to the things he had mentioned earlier.  It's better to be slower but more careful and thorough.  At least, he would be sure that things wouldn't go in a direction that none of them expected.

"The passageway is just up ahead."

He heard Shen Ji Yun's voice from the earring on his right ear.  The two of them decided to always have the earrings turn on.  That way they could know what was happening on both their sides. 

Yes, they were going to split up into two groups.  He would go and sneaked into the temple where Beelzebub's real body was while the rest would go and find the Dark Saint and kill him. 

Getting the body was a simple thing.  All he had to do was to not be noticed.  And with his Invisibility Cloak and Shadow Walking skill, that would be a perfect job for him.  What's difficult was to kill the Dark Saint. 

Even if the other was probably not in his best condition, the strength of the guards guarding him should not be underestimated.  That's why aside from the information of where the body was, they also asked Beelzebub about the Dark Saint's whereabouts.

The archdemon seemed to know what they were planning and advised against it.  Saying that they should just go in, get the body, and return.  Doing unnecessary action would only jeopardize the mission.  And he's probably right.  This was an action that would definitely spell 'failure' for them if they weren't careful enough.

But if they did not do it now, then this kind of chance might not come again.  Even if they blew up this island, as long as the Dark Saint didn't die, the dark mages would probably thrive again.  After all, in their opinion, the other was their god.  As long as their god was still there, they could continue to rise up.

Besides, this was also a chance for Eclipse and Dusk to have their revenge.  Would they take that away?  Luo Yan didn't want to.  Of course, Shen Ji Yun agreed to it. 

This might seem a little careless on their part.  But really, they gave this a very serious thought.  They covered every base that should be covered.  From how Shen Ji Yun's team would go to where the Dark Saint was to how they would deal with the dark mages guarding the other.

If they failed, they could always run away.  The important thing here was they tried.  That's why Luo Yan needed to get Beelzebub's real body as fast as he could.  Because it would give Shen Ji Yun's team more leeway to their actions. 

The moment he got the body back, the other team would be freer to make decisions as they see fit.  They wouldn't have to worry that running away might affect their primary objective.  At the same time, they could also act a bit crazier.  And by that, he meant violently.  Because they didn't need to worry that any of their actions could cause a negative impact on the main mission.

In short, Luo Yan should do his best so Shen Ji Yun, Dusk, and Eclipse could cause a rampage without thinking of the consequence.  He made a small fist to pump himself with energy. 

"It's here," Shen Ji Yun said, swimming in front of an area with tall seaweed like plants.  He pushed it aside, revealing a hole that was enough for an adult man to swim inside.  "I'll go on ahead.  Please, follow me."   

Luo Yan nodded to the other and Shen Ji Yun swam forward.  He was followed by Eclipse and Dusk, Luo Yan being the last. 

While swimming, Luo Yan wondered how come those dark mages didn't find this hole here.  But then again, this hole was pretty deep into the ocean.  Would there even be any reason to be in this deep part of the sea?

The passageway they entered was dark.  But all of them had good night vision, since none of them were technically humans.  However, Shen Ji Yun still held a dimly lit flower lamp as a source of light just to be sure.

Luo Yan wasn't sure how long they swam.  But by the time they arrived at their destination, it was probably around ten minutes.  He swam upwards until he reached the lake's shore.

Finally, they arrived at Achaeus.
