The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451: Desperate Hope

The assassin collapsed, exhausted. He had given everything to his Sect. His loyalty, his pride, and now even his life. But it was never enough. He was always second best.

Even as close as he was to Immortal Rank, he still couldn’t overcome the gap and become the Sect’s favourite.

All their trust, their best assignments, their finest items, they all went to his senior brother. And they were brothers, they had been together for life, and even now, he didn’t regret a single moment.

Given the chance, he would do it again.

His breath rattled as he took his final breath, just in time for a second assassin in black to appear between him and Rae.

The man was obviously limping, and holding a short sword defensively as he kneeled next to the crippled combatant.

"Stay with me, I will get you out of here. You can’t die, you hear me?" He pleaded.

Rae knew this one, he was the first assassin who had clashed with her. But he was weakened, crippled by her attacks in a way that he would never truly recover from.

She had shattered his soul, his body and his mind. No level of healing would ever put him back together the same as he was before.

His thoughts, his emotions spilled over, projected by the [Mind Lock] skill used on a broken mind. Everything that he thought, everything he felt, it was all pouring into Rae’s mind in real time.

And that was the final revelation that she needed. That was the missing part of her understanding of the Fundamental Rule of Pain.

The true agony of losing what you loved.

He knew that he was a useless man now. His spot in life was lost, and at best he could teach children in the future. But it didn’t matter. Watching his only friend die for him was more than he could take.

Satisfied that she had what she came for, Rae tossed them a pair of Mythic Rank healing potions of Remi’s creation.

"Thank you for your assistance. Goodnight."

Cara smiled as she opened a portal and took them both away, leaving the assassins to recover in the Chaotic Zone for the next half hour until it collapsed.

Once they were gone, the crippled assassin fed his rapidly fading friend the potion, and watched in wonder as his shattered and dissipated soul began to reform in his body, seconds away from being a resurrection and not a healing spell.

The failed attacker gasped as terror and agony seared his veins.

There was no doubt in his mind that he had just been used as bait so that the spider could learn something, but what it was that she was learning was beyond his comprehension. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

What he did know was that someone needed to know that the Spider Goddess was about to gain another Immortal follower.

He didn’t care if it would hurt his pride, if he had to admit in public that he had failed his mission. What mattered was that such a horror couldn’t be allowed to roam the world in silence and anonymity.

Others had to be prepared.

"Drink the potion she left for you. If she wanted us dead, she would have killed us before she left. You know what this means, right?" The recovering assassin asked, his voice hollow.
