On the eighth story of the magic tower, a person was now beside Lex .
This person was Bain, who had not appeared for a long time . Bain looked much older now . His hair was trimmed short and was completely white .
"Princess, I have returned . "
"How is your daughter?" Lex asked with concern .
"Everything has been arranged . Your teacher is willing to teach her magic . " Bain was a little emotional . Although Lex's teacher was not a grade-99 sorcerer, his abilities were almost on par with one and he was also the most powerful mage in Bitter Water Prefecture . Bain was more than content for his daughter to become his student .
"Bain, I need your help now . " Lex remained seated and her tone was solemn .
Bain smiled and said, "Princess, I do not have too long to live even without this task . Being an assassin is a helpless thing, but I am fortunate enough to be able to follow you, so I have lived a peaceful life thus far . I will go and gather the people you need to complete the task you have in mind . Princess, please give the order . "
Bain's expression became serious after what he said .
"Bain, the Tanggulasi Empire made use of their envoy to initiate this assassination attempt . I'm sure you saw it when you entered the city?"
"Yes, Princess . I came too late . "
"Not at all . The assassination attempt was horrifying and I count myself lucky to still be sitting here . Bain, although you are an assassin, you should know that assassinations should not be carried out like that . The Tanggulasi Empire has gone too far . I have decided to reciprocate in kind .

"Princess, what do you hope to achieve?" Bain went straight to the objective of the task .

"I want the heads of at least twelve high priests of red Bishop level . You can kill them in any way you want . Also, I want at least a hundred members of Tanggulasi noble families to accompany them in their deaths . "
"A Bloody Impact? Princess…"
"I understand that assassinating a large number of noble families is not allowed," Lex said coldly, "But the people of the Tanggulasi Empire must pay a heavy price for what they have done . You can do whatever you wish . I will not set any moral boundaries . "
"What about the city?"
"You need not worry about the things in the city . Bloody Impact must come to fruition as soon as possible . Do you need any reinforcement?"
"I need some poison that can only be refined by His Highness, Saleen, and his water flame technique," Bain replied calmly . He might not be able to return again after leaving Lex this time . It would not be an easy task assassinating high priests of the level of red Bishop .
In Tanggulasi, high priests of that level always traveled in groups, which was why assassins had a low chance of success in such scenarios .
Nevertheless, Lex had allowed him to do complete the task in any way he wished, so that made things simpler . He would kill the noble families first, then the high priests, and most likely many innocent people would also be embroiled into it .
Lex did not even give him a list of names . She only gave him numbers, so that showed that she was upset beyond her usual tolerance level .
"Don't you need any other help?"
"Princess, no . I have one-hundred and six assassins under me, so there is enough help to complete this task . "
"I don't know if they will be able to come back alive, but you, on the other hand, must . " Lex was very serious . She took out a gray dagger and handed it to Bain .

Bain took the dagger, then Lex took out a leather armor and said to him, "This was given to me by Saleen . I think it will suit you . "
This was a seamless leather armor and it was covered with magic patterns . There was an aura of sorrow emitting from the thick and solid leather armor . Bain took the armor and realized how light it was . It was as if he was just holding onto a piece of paper .
"This was previously worn by a grade-10 assassin . Saleen and I had conducted experiments on it . Middle-level spells and divine spells will have no effects on this armor," Lex explained to Bain .
"Princess!"
"Only by wearing this will you have a chance of coming back alive . I don't want Adela to be disappointed . You…" Lex did not continue . She knew that this was the most dangerous task that Bain had ever undertaken . Only by wearing the armor would he have a chance of coming back alive .
That was only a chance .
This was almost a suicide mission and Bain would definitely complete it thoroughly .
A Bloody Impact was commonly seen about a thousand years ago . It involved a noble family taking their revenge on another noble family by any means necessary and one of its trademark was that a hundred of the noble family's relatives would also be killed .
Lex never imagined that she would one day resort to it . The Holy See's assassination attempt made her realize that she would be their target no matter where she was . She would not be safe even if she was in her own city .
She could not tolerate this, so she decided to use an extreme tactic . She would make the Tanggulasi Empire bleed until they were cowering in fear .
Even if Bain succeeded, she still planned to launch her next wave of attack against the Holy See . She had no intentions of sticking to conventional tactics . When the Sregl Island mages arrived, thirty-six sorcerers would open up the Hell of God's Punishment and she would quickly become a grade-9 sorcerer . By then, she would be able to use up to ten percent of the God's Ring and would no longer have to worry about such things .
The night was clear and without any clouds . Giant magic beasts appeared in the sky . They were more than ten yards long and were carrying Cloudflow soldiers on their backs . They flew beyond the attack range of the arrow tower and over the city wall . Then, the soldiers tossed down burning leather skins from the backs of the magic beasts .
Saleen walked out of the magic tower and touched his clan badge . He could use it to attack again after it had absorbed the power of the heavenly angel .

Although the Holy See did not succeed in their assassination, they did succeed in spoiling their wedding night . Saleen could not do the same as Lex as he did not have so many assassins under his command . His goal was to kill one of the strongest Cloudflow opponents .
Someone must pay the price for destroying his house .
Saleen hid his true intentions . Fog began to rise around him and within two frames of time, he flew up into the sky . Now, he could ignore any difference in grades . He was confident of killing even grade-9 sorcerers .
The thick fog expanded to an area of one-hundred and fifty yards . Saleen's control over water elements had become better . More than a hundred hurricanes spun around Saleen and within the range of the Quickcloud spell, pushed him forward . Within the blink of an eye, he was already up in the sky and searching for the magic beasts that were tossing down fire oil .
The tactic of using magic beasts to set fire in Daliang City was an annoying one . A bag of fire oil was worth little, yet could damage a number of buildings in the city .
On a night without any clouds, the magic beasts and sorcerers dared to fly above a thousand yards in the sky . Ever since Stephanie left the eighth story of the magic tower, the anti-flying zone in the city had shrunk and a height of more than a thousand yards beyond the zone .
By right, it was dangerous for Saleen to fly up on his own, but with his clan badge, he could easily take on two powerful opponents and still manage to escape . His flying speed was incredibly fast . If not for the fact that the angel was purely a body of energy and its speed could never be matched by humans, Saleen would not have needed the protection of Lex .
The Quickcloud spell was a spell that Saleen invented and its speed had already surpassed that of a grade-8 sorcerer . Lex would not have been able to match its speed .
Saleen found his first target very quickly . He controlled the fog and flew closer to the magic beast .
This was a huge beast with a twelve yard long pair of wings . It was still extremely valuable even though it was only grade-3 . Due to the huge loss of resources, Cloudflow had no choice but to utilize the flying magic beasts on their combat vessels to attack Daliang City . Such a big magic beast was able to carry more than two soldiers along with a large amount of fire oil .
The magic beast was sharp enough to sense Saleen's arrival, even though all it saw was a cluster of fog .
The magic beast made a strange noise which even the two Cloudflow soldiers on its back found strange . They looked around, but found no enemies .
They sensed danger from the fog that was approaching them so they took control of the magic beast to try and steer themselves away . Saleen's fog managed to make a sharp turn and enclosed the entire flying magic beast completely .
The hurricanes in the fog began to produce snowflakes . These snowflakes were sharper than knives and by spinning so quickly with the hurricanes, the flying magic beast was instantaneously slashed into hundreds of pieces .
Blood poured down like rain .
At that moment, Saleen could appreciate the adrenaline rush of holding so much power . A grade-3 magic beast and two warriors of the level of swordmaster were helpless against his magic . Those two swordmasters had even brought along mini alchemy crossbows, but they were unable to aim at Saleen accurately . Only sorcerers of grade-8 and above would be able to determine his position within the fog .
Saleen opened his elemental eyes and was able to see everything within one-hundred miles . There were more than thirty gigantic flying magic beasts on top of Daliang City and they were tossing fire oil continuously . Without any hesitation, Saleen pounced at the nearest target . This time, he unleashed more than twenty wind blades two-hundred yards beyond the fog .
The transformation of elements evaporated water elements to form wind blades . The number of wind blades produced was ten times more than what ordinary mages could produce .
At three-hundred yards away, the second flying magic beast was shredded into pieces and the soldiers on its back screamed as they fell towards the ground .
The Cloudflows did not dare to fly at a lower height . This must mean that someone was looking out for the safety of the flying magic beasts . Saleen did not manage to detect any targets with his elemental eyes, which meant that his person was of a much higher grade than him .
More than ten fire crows were unleashed at the next target . The fire crows were even hotter than the Fireball spell . They burned into the flying magic beast's body, leaving behind huge charred holes .
Saleen did not kill the soldiers on the flying magic beasts . He decided to let them fall to their deaths so that he could conserve his magic chords .
The fourth! Saleen controlled his fog and approached the fourth flying magic beast . This time, he unleashed a cluster of ice bombs . In fact, these ice bombs already carried the power of ground elements, so they were harder than ordinary water element ice spells .
The flying magic beast was punctured with hundreds of small holes in the air and blood filled the sky .
"Still not willing to come out?" Saleen smiled coldly and flew towards his fifth target . He refused to believe that this massacre would not lure out the enemy's attack .
