《The Putrid Assassin (Complete)》Chapter #10
Advertisement
The most hauntingly beautiful thing I had ever seen. When are eyes met it was as if my soul had dropped into the abyss of hell. Her eyes were startling green and held the impression of a dead fish.
Within a second of looking into her eyes, the scene of an entire city covered in the corpses of women, children, and soldiers all with there faces frozen in horror was displayed in her eyes.
I was scared out of my wits but I managed to summon my courage and mumble.
"Are you ready for guard duty tonight?"
I'm surprised that you didn't run off instantly, an old one. But I am waiting for my partner. She responded
"What do you mean I am right" here I responded
You are too old, the one I look for hasn't even been with women but dares to act like he can slay a dragon."
"I would slay a dragon for you. It is me the one you call 9 your partner!" I responded with all the strength into my voice I could muster"
She looked at me again and instantly her eyes started to glow and the gruesome scenes of death materialized all around me.
"I didn't realize this was the reason noona wouldn't show me her beautiful face" I said
Almost faster then my eye could see her hood was flicked back up and covered her face.
"You were hiding your ability from me you brat. All too take advantage of my trust. In a cold tone, she whispered."
What ability" I asked because I had no idea what I had done.
The ability to disguise yourself as an old mad she said.
It all made sense to me, the way others had been treating me I could understand now.

Does this ability have to do with the old man on my soul plate in my soul counciness" I asked.
There is an image on your soul plate? It's rare for anyone to have a special ability. But most of them are super powerful and allow cultivators to kill way above there level. Then she burst out into laughter and spoke in a humorless tone.
"But you actually got an ability that turns you into an old man how useless is that."
She's right I thought to myself it's pretty dam useless even if I go back to get revenge on that family this won't allow me to overpower the guards or offer any way of attack.
Angrily I retorted
"No wonder you wouldn't let me see your face it's enough to drive any same man away is a single night. No wonder you guard this dam graveyard every night. No wonder you don't have a husband with that body of yours."
I was truly infuriated and I made sure to give her a lecherous look before walking to my post. The way her robe outlined the curve of her breasts and ran down in a split to show of her long snow-white legs was enough to drive most men to madness.
I walked down the path and considered whether I still wanted to come back for her after I had gotten my revenge on the people that fucked me over. Was that body that set my heart aflame worth looking into those eyes that replayed scenes of endless death?
The thought continues to run through my brain as an uneventful shift of guarding my side of the graveyard passed.
On the way back I still didn't know how to act when I encountered noona again it was almost as though the layer of glass between us had been broken and we were both infants again peering at each other through the veil of night.

She spoke first in a fragile tone " I didn't realize how deep your need for revenge ran in your veins I shouldn't have laughed so hard"
Seeing such a different side of her I replied with "and I naturally shouldn't be mean to my future wife."
"I too have an ability that others don't have" Her tone instantly shifted mid-sentence and in a serious voice, she said if you need help with your revenge I can help you but it will come with a price and you have to prove your resolution to me.
Now get down on your knees and grovel!
Pride as a man who needs it, I thought to myself as I got down and groveled in the dirt.
Alright, this will do, meet me here tomorrow on your next shift and will tell you my plan to get your revenge.
I simply nodded and walked down the path and back to my room where I crashed on my bed. Finally, I had a bit of hope for my revenge.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine.

At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’
