Chapter 397 Chapter 396: Elliott's Assassination

After getting to the Guild castle, it was a matter of time before Urluk assassinated Elliott. However, he first needed to find him.

Back when Zach was exploring Victoria's cave, he had taken a map of the flying castle and studied it thoroughly. Initially, he planned to go himself and kill Eliott, but it was risky as he could be seen by someone.

He didn't want to leave any strings behind, especially when a few of the guild members were also Zach's worshippers.

Zach had explained all the routes to Urluk and told him all his strategies to get to Elliott's room. He had learned that Elliott spent most of the time in his office and his chamber, while he was missing in action for a few hours in between, and no one knew anything about it.

Since Victoria and Misha were guild members in the past, they knew about the flying castle more than anyone. Especially Victoria, who was the vice-captain and Risen warrior's guild.

In fact, she was the one who had raised the guild to its current status, but she never got credit for it. Victoria regretted investing her time and mind in the guild as everything was under Elliott's control now.

Victoria also blamed herself for the demise of the guild members, who wanted to leave the guild but couldn't because they had nowhere else to go.

Zach was going to end that terror soon.

['My liege has advised me to scout the area first. This is my first time here, but this place is truly magnificent! My liege should get himself an even bigger flying castle for him!.']

Thus began Urluk's scouting of the flying castle.

['I also have to plan an escape route first. As my liege had mentioned, there are guards in every corner. The guild members are training, while most of them are arriving and departing the flying castle to complete their quests and missions.']

Urluk was moving in the shadow, so the scouting to Elliott's chamber was completed in a few minutes.

['The biggest issue my liege addressed is that Elliott needs to be alone when I assassinate him. If someone were to see me, they could know it was done by my liege.

Most of them have seen me and the other undead. I somehow managed to connect to Cerberus and updated him about my status, but I lost contact again. Only there was a shadow connected to this flying castle and the surface.

If I had a stable connection with Cerberus, I could ask him to ask my liege about tips. This is my first time performing an assassination, so I know little about it.

Ultimately, if I don't get an opening, I will kill Eliott in front of the humans. And then I will kill those humans too. So there will be no witnesses! Yes! What a fantastic plan!

Why didn't my liege think about it?'] After pondering for a while, Urluk continued, ['But if my liege hasn't asked me to do that, I shouldn't do it, right? Wouldn't that be against his order? This is conflicting. Why must it be so hard to make even a simple decision?']

Urluk was hiding in the shadow of the statue in front of Elliott's office. He was waiting for Elliott to come out for lunch so he could follow him and assassinate him when no one was around.

['According to what my liege told me, Elliott leaves for lunch and returns after two hours. No human can eat for that long, except, of course, my liege. He is truly the greatest of all humans and gods. He can do everything!']

Urluk was feeling happy and excited as it was his first real mission tasked by Zach himself. He wanted Zach to praise him so he could flaunt in front of the other undead, especially Cerberus, who apparently was Zach's favorite, according to Urluk.

Urluk was aware that he was given an important task and wanted to make Zach proud by completing it without messing up. Not only that, but Zach also had confidence that Urluk would be able to complete the task.

['Most humans rest after eating lunch. So Elliott will also go to his chamber to rest after eating lunch. I will strike at that time and kill him in his sleep! That would be the best time to assassinate him as he wouldn't struggle or make any noises. Even he himself would have no idea that he was killed!']

Urluk had thought of dozens of ways of killing Elliott; he was simply waiting for an opportunity to strike.

A few minutes later, Elliott finally came out of his office with an annoyed, angry, and frustrated look on his face. He punched the guard standing near the door and walked away.

['Hmm~ Was that a form of humans greeting each other?'] Urluk wondered.

Urlurk followed Elliott through the shadows and reached the cafeteria where a few players were eating.

Eliott ordered his special food and ate it in frustration by taking big bites and spilling it all over the table and the floor.

['I don't think that's how humans eat. Why is he wasting food like that? They don't have that many resources as mentioned by my liege, so shouldn't he be saving the food? I don't understand this human. Everything is wrong about him']

Urluk had no idea what type of person Elliott was or why Zach wanted to assassinate him. He only cared about Zach's orders, and that was his command. Whether Elliott was a good person or a bad one, it didn't matter to Urluk.

After half an hour, Elliott got up from the table and threw his half-eaten goods all over the floor. Then, he made his way to his chamber.

['Yes!']

Urluk couldn't hold his excitement as Elliott stepped closer and closer to his chamber. He felt like a kid in a playground, waiting for his turn on the slide.

A few minutes later, Elliott reached his chamber and walked in before closing the door with a loud bang.

The moment the door closed, Urluk came out of the shadow and slit Elliott's throat.
