Chapter 269: Chapter 264: Trial Chapter 269: Chapter 264: Trial “My prestigious master! It has been a long time, you appear even more heroic.” A robust and ferocious demonic shadow appears in this specially arranged room, spreading a fearful aura.

The three previously calm shadow assassins started to tremble uncontrollably upon seeing this fearful demonic shadow. Their bodies shivering under the naturally emanating aura of the demonic shadow, unable to stop the tremor.

This is a powerful evil entity, the twisted horns on his head, and the iconic bat wings, along with the flames that envelop its body, coupled with their body’s nervous reaction, all confirm the identity of this creature—it is a top-level devil originating from Hell, the Abyss Refining Demon.

Yet, such an evil entity was summoned by a Golden Dragon, who they thought couldn’t harm them, this scene, completely shattered their worldview.

Next, a scene that made them feel as though they were dreaming appeared. This powerful devil, upon appearing, humbly knelt down, prostrating in front of the young man, his tone respectful, like… a servant.

“What are your commands, Master?” The forehead of Mels, the Abyss Refining Demon, was restlessly sticking to the ground.

This form of address made the three shadow assassins tremble vigorously. This powerful Abyss Refining Demon was indeed the servant of the Golden Dragon. Were they living a dream? Why had their world become so strange?

“I see. You must be a fallen Golden Dragon!” A bewildered shadow assassin came up with a crazy idea, thinking of some hidden rumors about dragons he had heard, stared at Muria, and screamed.

“A fallen Golden Dragon?” The other two shadow assassins stared at their companion in disbelief.

A fallen Golden Dragon refers to an Evil Dragon that has shifted factions. Indeed, there had been instances of Golden Dragons falling in the long history of Elasia, but that was a very ancient tale. Moreover, fallen Golden Dragons could be counted on one’s fingers.

Besides, this Golden Dragon acted as an escort for the Paladin, shielded the Demon Hunter Knight; how could these actions be considered him falling?

Muria did not pay attention to the assassin who claimed he had fallen. He floated in mid-air, overlooking the Abyss Refining Demon whose injuries had been completely recovered and whose power seemed stronger than before.

“A Demon Hunter Knight entrusted me to protect his offspring, but within less than a day, my protectorate was subject to assassination. I need you to interrogate these three assassins, find out the mastermind behind this. Do you have a problem with that?”

Hearing Muria’s words, Mels twisted his skull, gazing at the confined shadow assassins, sticking out his bloody red tongue, licking his mouth corner, the devil patterns on his face revealed a ferocious smile; “Master, interrogating intelligence is our best specialty as devils. Please be at ease and let me handle this matter.”

“Hmm, how long before you find out what I need to know?”

“That will depend on your requirements. If we can use any means necessary, then we won’t need…”

“I only need information about the mastermind, the rest is up to you.”

“Understood, Master, it won’t take more than half an hour to get it out,” Mels’ mouth turned up, revealing an exaggerated grin, showing his extreme delight. Since there were no restrictions, he could have some fun with these three human souls.

“Good.”

“Master, I have another question, where… where are we?” Mels, who was still prostrating on the ground, looked around the enclosed room he was in with an apprehensive expression. This place made him feel oppressed and very uncomfortable.

“In a temple of the Dawn Church.”

“God of Dawn…” Mels’ body trembled. He finally understood where his discomfort originated from. He was situated in a temple belonging to a powerful, benign deity.

Was there an environment worse than this for this demon? He felt that if he could make it back alive this time, he could boast about it to his colleagues for a thousand years.

“Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t come to any harm. As long as you get the information I want from them, you’ll be fine.”

“Thank you for your kindness, master!” Mels’s forehead heavily knocked on the ground, “I won’t disappoint you.”

…Half an hour later, having obtained the information he desired, Muria, disguising his aura, walked out of the room in human form with Mels and saw three familiar figures waiting at the door.

“Prince Mureya.” The Red Dragon Autrein, who had transformed into a tall, muscular, red-haired man, and the Green Dragon Fiona, who was dressed as a lady of noble birth with green hair and blue-green pupils, bowed to Mureya simultaneously.

“Hmm, your timing is impeccable.” Mureya nodded in response.

“Did you find out?” Kaslana couldn’t help but glance at Mels behind Mureya. This was someone who made her heart pound, and added with the lingering evil atmosphere in the room, she guessed a lot in an instant.

“The three assassins come from an assassination organization called ‘Graywing,’ they are just their pawns.” Mureya shook his head, “They don’t even know who commissioned their mission, but they’ve given up Graywing’s base in this city. I’m about to go and ask. You both, come with me!”

“Yes!”

Watching Mureya leave with two Soul-Peak Dragons in human form and an unknown evil entity to harass people.

Kaslana shook her head and walked into the room that the Dawn Church had prepared for Mureya’s interrogation. She needed to clean up to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

…
“Here is the base of the Graywing organization, master!” Mels, who had transformed into a handsome, well-proportioned middle-aged butler, led Mureya to a somewhat dilapidated but bustling tavern.

“Interesting.” Looking at the bustling tavern in front of him, Mureya narrowed his eyes; the base of an assassination organization was actually a thriving tavern.

“Let’s go, check it out!” Mureya led the way straight into the tavern, followed closely by the Red Dragon Autrein and the Green Dragon Fiona, while Mels, who was eyeing the backs of the two Dragons of the Five Colored Dragons deeply, followed as well.

Mels had long realized the prestige of Mureya’s identity. As long as he firmly held onto Mureya, in the future, with a little help from his master’s power, becoming a lord of hell would be an easy task, or even… a Duke of Hell.

“Look, whose child hasn’t been watched, running to the tavern to have some fun.”

“This little brat, probably hasn’t even grown hair yet!”

“Hey, kid, have you ever touched a woman’s…”

The moment Mureya stepped into the tavern, a blend of sweat, alcohol, and cheap perfume filled the air, causing Mureya to hold his breath and enter a state of meditation.

At the same time, due to his young appearance, some vulgar phrases filled with sarcasm reached his ears. Without him saying anything, Autrein and Fiona, who were following closely behind Mureya, immediately dealt with those who had spoken disrespectful words.

There was no need to use magic or techniques. Soul-Peak Dragons, just one step away from becoming legendary dragons, still tower over humans even in human form. Fiona took the lead, with Autrein following closely after, both Dragons flung their hands towards the adventurers within the tavern who had spoken foul words to Mureya.
