He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

Chapter 812. The phantom witch’s sickle

"What’s happening?"

"It’s look like the spaceship is under attack."

"Should we go and help?"

The others in the top ten of the heavenly Fate rankings appeared in the lounge.

They were all wondering what was happening.

"We will handle this. Stay in the lounge, so that protecting you becomes easier."

Vice Principal Morgana sent them a thought transmission.

They relaxed. Since the vice principal said the professors would handle it, there was no need for any of them to be worried.

They sat in the lounge alongside Kailen who was already there.

****

Several cataclysmic principle battles had broken out outside the spaceship.

The professors and the assassins from the Royal Family launched overbearing attacks towards one another.

The assassins from the Morgana Assassin Syndicate floated closely to the spaceship, guarding all entrances with extreme caution.

There was no way they would allow the fuckers from the royal family to slip past them and enter the spaceship to murder the top ten on the heavenly Fate rankings.

Occasionally, several assassins of the royal family maneuvered their way towards the spaceship. However the Lotus Assassin Syndicate members intercepted them and fought with them, neutralizing them.

Morgana stared at the leader of the royal Family Assassin corps floating a few moments away from her.

The man was extremely tall for a human. He had a very crooked face. His demeanor teemed with malice. It was obvious that he was a killing machine through and through.

"Morgana, we meet again," the man said. "To think you’d buy out the Axis Intelligence Agency."

Morgana replied with an innocent expression on her face, "What are you talking about, Hook?"

"Don’t pretend. One of us will die here anyway. No need for secrets. The Axis Intelligence Agency fed us the wrong Intel. They said only ten professors were escorting these students to the Meridian Oceanic Empire. As for you, they said you were in seclusion. You anticipated this attack. You used the Axis Intelligence Agency to feed us wrong information. You used this false Intel to lure us out and deal with us in one fell swoop," Hook continued.

"If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have showed up."

"Cut the crap, Hook," Morgana snorted. "Sure, sure. You are right about the trap I set. There’s no need to play victim though. Why are you still hiding the assassins lurking in the shadows? Planning to launch a surprise ambush on me?"

"How did you..." Hook was shocked.

How did she discover those back up assassins lurking on the nearby asteroid? They had hidden themselves perfectly with the principle of wind and darkness.

"Yes... I’m on the brink of breaking through to the rank 7 novice stage Transcendent level."

The moment Morgana spoke, Hook shouted.

"Retreat!"

He did not even hesitate.

He turned around to flee; his speed was uncanny, bolstered to extreme levels by the principle of wind.

"Shit, shit, shit... She’s more powerful than me now. She’s gonna kill me," he muttered anxiously.

Darkness swelled in the surrounding void.

A very large sickle formed in front of Morgana. The sickle was made from the principle of darkness.

She held the sickle and launched it forward. The dark sickle cleaved through the void with overbearing might, slaughtering several rank 6 novice stage Transcendent assassins from the Royal Family Assassin Corps with ease. Even those hiding in the shadows were not spared.

"Arrrghhhh!"

"Shi..."

"Noooo...."

Dying screams reverberated everywhere as chaos ensued. Blood splintered everywhere as innards and scorched flesh flew apart.

Morgana took a step forward and arrived immediately before Hook, who was a few light years away from her current location.

He had an expression of fear on his face.

His survival instincts kicked in. He waved his hand.

Gales of wind swept past the place and transformed into a large tripod.

The large tripod shot towards Morgana.

Hook turned around, fleeing.

Morgana snorted, "Trying to distract me and flee?"

She swung the large sickle in her hand. The large sickle cleaved across several meteors, causing them to explode. It launched further, eventually cleaving through the wind tripod. The collision kicked up shockwaves. The wind tripod faded out of existence. However, the large sickle of darkness did not halt. It proceeded forward, cleaving through Hook’s disappearing figure.

Hook let out a wail of misery. His figure tore into several pieces of scorched flesh, innards spilling across the starry sea.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

The battles between the royal family assassins and those on the side of the academy ceased.

The remaining royal family assassins melded with the void and disappeared, realizing the leader of the royal family assassin corps had been killed.

"Let them leave. We have achieved our objective. Their boss is dead. This is a heavy blow to the royal family. We have a competition to attend. No need to waste any more time here."

"Yes, ma’am." The professors and assassins from the Morgana Assassin Syndicate nodded at her words. Reverence flickered in their eyes as they stared at her.

So this was how powerful the phantom witch was.

Even those from her own organization were shocked. After all, she rarely fought or revealed her strength.

The level of carnage she had weaved was nothing to scoff at. And to think she was almost on the verge of breaking into the rank 7 novice stage Transcendent level.

No wonder she was so confident with the trap she had set for the royal family assassins.

Everything had proceeded just as she had planned.

Kailen and company, watching the battles from the lounge could not help but suck in breaths of cold air.

The battle they had just witnessed was something else. These royal family people were no joke.

Even though they had been overwhelmed and the leader of the royal family assassin corps had been killed, their combat prowess was something else.

Also, the professors were very powerful, but was the vice principal not too terrifying?

If she was this powerful, how strong was the Principal and the Empress?

How terrifying would the full-scale clash between the royal family and the academy be?

They thought.

The professors returned to their various stations.

The assassins guarding the perimeter from the shadows also disappeared.

Everyone however took note of one thing.

Now that the leader of the royal family assassin corps was dead, the war would transition from a covert skirmish to a full-scale assault.

When the Empress and the Principal of the Venzula Empire Academy came out of seclusion, the war would begin.
