Chapter 336 Rank 5
Chapter 336 Rank 5
A few weeks passed.
Lith had comprehended as much as he could and felt that he needed to do something else or his progress would slow down. Thus, he asked his mother to drop him to the Neutral Continent and after reaching, he said goodbye to her and went on an assassination mission.
Lith was now a Rank 4 and he could easily defeat a Rank 8. But, it wasn't possible to do the same with a Rank 9 and above. Still, having prowess to defeat a Rank 8 made him be above average in the world.
Lith went to the Nine Roses Hotel to take an assassination mission and gain experience from it. Just as he reached there, he was greeted with a bow by ten receptionists.
He was amused to see this but since he thought that he was now a Black Card Holder, it was due to that.
He was led to a private room on the 99th floor of the hotel. The room was more luxurious than Lith had seen on the floors 40 to 50. It was almost as good as the rooms in his castle back at home in Nightingale.
As he reached there and sat on the soft sofa, the chubby man Andres attended him once again. The man was much more respectful to him than before and he tried his best to ensure that he provided everything that Lith asked him to.
Though he was respectful and working hard, he wasn't boot-licking and this made Lith not get uncomfortable.
Lith was starting to like the services of this place. The staff was humble and polite from the first day he was here to now as well. He was given snacks and tea and while Andres was browsing through the mission list that would best fit Lith's needs, Lith read the news and saw what new things were happening in the world.
He read for a few minutes and stopped when Andres found the perfect mission for him. Lith took it and walked out of the Nine Roses Hotel in Espat.
The mission was to assassinate the staff members of a small business. These staff members were planning to kidnap and kill the owner's family so that the owner would be left broken and would give away all the belongings of the company to these staff people. But the owner soon realized their plans and asked for help online.
Scelestus controlled the entire dark web, it was only natural that they knew everything related to the normal web. As soon as the owner posted his request, Scelestus took the mission and sent him a notification about it.
A few days later, this mission was now given to Lith and he was on his way to kill the members.
All members involved in this were just mere Rank 6s. It was an easy task. Lith still was careful with his approach and went for the assassination.
Few hours passed.
Lith was able to kill half the members of the staff easily in this time. These people were right outside the owner's house. But, he hadn't seen the rest of the members yet. So, Lith went to look for them and kill them.
A few hours later, almost all were killed 5except for two people.
When Lith killed the people outside the owner's house, he alerted the others involved in this. The people fled from their places and everyone went in a different direction and escaped.
Lith thus had extra work. He would've sworn that he saw no people when he was attacking the ones outside but when they fled, they found out about it.
He chased one of the guys after killing the guys outside the owner's house and after catching him, he made him cough up answers about where the others were.
The person was simply too afraid to lose his life and so he easily gave Lith the answer. After he was done, Lith killed him and went for the other people. Same things repeated and Lith ended up killing all except for two who were much better at hiding than Lith could think of.
It took an entire day to locate them and kill them and Lith was finally done with the things. The two guys had apparently changed their appearances and blended with the crowd. It was thus hard to locate them but Lith found the two by the traces of spiritual power present in the surroundings wherever they went.
The simple assassination mission was over and Lith felt that this was enough to catalyse his progress. He called his mother and Lilith took him back to the cave.
Lith sat down and began to meditate immediately. He comprehended the emotions of the people he killed, right before the time he was about to kill them and related it with the elemental laws.
Life and Death was a natural thing for a mortal and in this small lifespan, he would always ensure that he had led a fulfilling life. The mortal would try his best to do everything before he died and usually, many died in a content manner.
But there are times when Dark elements take over. This causes a fire of greed to burn in the mortal hearts and causes them to stray from their path, leading towards the path of Destruction.
But one day when things become too problematic for the mortal, he would become conscious of it and would seek the help of Light to have him get out of this path of darkness and destruction and die content.
Light wouldn't reject anyone's request as long as the person realized his mistakes and wanted to better himself. The mortal would soon go through Wind and Lightning filled stormy path and after passing through many trials in life, he would end up becoming as calm as Water and finally die, having his body go back to where it came from, the Earth*.
The mortal's soul would then traverse through Space and Time and finally reincarnate and make him have a fresh start at life.
Just as Lith finished comprehending this, his aura burst out and his spiritual power got out of his body and covered him to protect him from the naked elements present in the surroundings. The elements had broken the equilibrium and it wouldn't actually harm Lith, but it was just a defensive mechanism of Lith's body and a natural thing.
A few days later, Lith broke through again and finally became Rank 5.
