Chapter 1693 The Best of the Best
"Indeed, Your Highness," The executive analyst nodded. "Her targets are all exclusively male as her Martial Art fundamentally targets males."
"Her Martial Art...fundamentally targets men?" Princess Ranea grinned, amused. "I should hire her to take out Randal."
Prince Randal glared at her before turning back. "Explain, Sierra."
She nodded. "Her Martial Art targets men. It is said that her Martial Body produces esoteric pheromones and other chemical signals, in addition to some targeted sexual hypnosis, that immediately and forcibly trigger extreme sexual arousal in male targets, often causing them to lose control and indulge in sexual intercourse where she delivers death to them, either by draining of their 'vigor' or exploiting a blindspot to deal a death blow."
"Men..." Princess Ranea snorted contemptuously. "I'm not surprised she has a perfect record."
"How amusing," Princess Raemina giggled softly. "We should commission her."
"Is this serious?" Prince Randal incredulously asked. "There is no way that this is accurate."
"The data has been verified, Your Highness," Sierra reassured the prince. "Every single male, Martial Artist or otherwise, she targeted has fallen prey to her assassinations. It is said that not a single one of her targets was able to maintain resistance. The redirection of blood caused by penile turgidity reduces the power of the Martial Heart while their senses and mind are completely overridden by strong sexual arousal and lust for her body."
"..." Prince Randal simply read through her profile with a hint of skepticism while Princess Ranea grinned.
"I should hire her to take you out," She smirked as she glanced at Prince Randal.
"...My Martial Masters would kill her while I kill you."
She smiled as he fell into her trap. "Oh? You don't think you can handle her yourself? I thought army men were all about discipline and control. I wonder how you would fair against her."
[Voidreaper]
"Voidreaper...?" Prince Randal narrowed his eyes. "Ah..."
"The Voidreaper is one of the most feared and notorious assassins in the Senior Realm," Sierra remarked. "He doesn't have many years and decades of a track record like the others on the shortlist. However, despite that, we have seen fit to not only add him to the shortlist, but also as a special interest."
She turned to the four Royals. "He singlehandedly annihilated the assassination sector of the Shadow Isles all by himself. The assassination industry of the Derschek Region was capped at the Senior Realm but possessed the highest concentration of Senior Assassins across the entire world. And while none of the assassins there were of the pinnacle quality that our shortlist contains, they were completely decimated without even the tiniest bit of resistance. It was overwhelming. shortlist contains, they were completely decimated without even the tiniest bit of resistance. It was overwhelming. Absolute. A shocking performance that sent ripples across the continental Underworld and assassination industry."
The four Royals looked mighty impressed.
"Resistance is futile," She remarked. "Escape is futile. Defense is futile. Each and every single Martial Senior simply dropped dead on the spot. Many have gone through the bodies of the victims, and the cause of death is still not ascertained. It is almost as if..."
Her eyes narrowed. "Almost as if he doesn't exist. Almost as if it was the reaper himself claiming the lives of the hapless victims. That is why he is called the Voidreaper. Within his Realm, it can be said that he has accomplished the most shocking feat in all of assassination history."
The four Royals looked overwhelmed as they went through all the details of the various matters she spoke of.
"They simply...die?" Princess Ranea looked disturbed.
"No injuries. No resistance. No witnesses. No footprints. No blood. No testimonies. No autopsy results. No weapons. No forewarning. No presence...There would also be no proof he even existed if not for the fact that he volunetarily revealed himself just one time, causing mass despair and destruction." Princess Rafia murmured, almost as if she was paralyzed by the lack of empirical evidence and data to analyze.
"It is said that, as far as Senior-level assassins go, he is among the very best of the best, said to be a fleeting pinnacle of assassins that only targets other assassins," Sierra remarked. "It is said that many Senior assassins around the world retired during that period, some of whom were even of the caliber to be on this shortlist."
Prince Randal didn't need to hear anymore. "Contact him. Indirectly. With absolute caution and care. Ensure that there is absolutely no way that the contact can be traced back to us. The Voidreaper will kill Rui Quarrier."
