Chapter 396 Chapter 395: Zach's Scheme
Before Zach went to fight the angel in the castle, he had summoned his army of the undead and asked them to not interfere in his battle. Of course, Cerberus was against it, but Zach had different plans.
"Cerberus, I want you to do something else in the meantime. I have been talking about ascending for a while now, yet, doing nothing. I don't want to stay here long. I will surely leave tomorrow, so I have to finish up some unfinished business."
[What is that, my liege? Just tell me, and I will risk my life to complete your task!] Cerberus said with his utmost loyalty to Zach.
"When Noah and Elina became my followers, I promised them something that the second realm is my realm, and there will be no evil deeds, but I can't be sure of that. However, I will have to ensure that, so I want the lesser-ranked demons to spread across the second realm and kill every bad guy you see.
Remember, they will have a red name tag, but make sure they are bad. They can be good guys who killed someone in self-defense or otherwise by mistake. Things can happen.
The third and second-rank demons will spread to the higher realms and end all the possible evildoers. Once my followers ascend higher, they will spread my religion even more, and I will promise them the same thing.
Cerberus and Urluk, I will give you the toughest task of all."
[I am excited, my liege.]
"Take Urluk to the flying castle and assassinate Elliott."
[Who is that again?"
"Wow… that was savage…"
[No, seriously. I don't remember the names of the players or NPCs. I only know yours and the ladies' names.]
"The guild leader who I fought."
[Ummm…]
"The one who was after Victoria."
[Oh! The one who we fried in the metal box!]
"Yes. That shit," Zach nodded. "I want you to kill him."
[I don't mind, but why of all times? If you truly wanted to kill him, you could have killed him that day with your own hands. You would have felt more satisfied.]
"I didn't kill him because Shay asked me to. I can't do something he doesn't want me to, and he won't do something I don't want him to. It's our thingy. I have made the same promise with Kayden, and that is why it's kind of awkward when Misha is around. But now that they are married, I don't have to worry about them.
Putting all that aside, if I wanted, I could just ride you, go to the flying castle, and kill him myself. But I can't because I promised Shay. However, I never said I won't send someone to kill him.
All this time, I was contemplating on whether I should kill him or not. Because even if he is an asshole, hundreds of thousands of lives depend on him… or rather, on the guild.
Ultimately, I decided to kill that asshole because I didn't want to regret not killing him when I had the chance."
Zach patted Cerberus on the head and said, "I will wait for the good news."
[My liege… what about you?"] Cerberus asked hesitantly. [I know you don't want anyone with you, but at least take someone who can help you out. By no means am I not saying you will need help or you are not strong enough to defeat the realm boss by yourself.
However, I am simply worried about you. What if you went berserk again? There are many risks you need to consider. And I don't want to go back to the ladies and give them the bad news. Lady Aria will kill me if I allow you to do something reckless again.]
"I don't mind anyone coming with you, but you and Ulurk are the only ones present here." Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "You obviously can't assassinate Elliott as the guild members would recognize you, and they will realize I am the one who got Elliott Killed.
Even if you travel in the shadows, I am sure there is tight security around Elliott, and they will see you. I could send Urluk alone, but he can't reach the flying castle alone as there is no shadow to reach there. And he cannot fly so…"
The moment Zach uttered that, Urluk spread his wings and said, [I have wings now, my liege.]
"Well…" Zach stared at Cerberus' smug face and sighed, "That's embarrassing."
Urlurk knelt down and uttered, [My liege, let me go alone. I will bring his head to you.]
"No, no. You don't have to bring his head. Just make sure he is dead and his HP has hit 0! The others will most likely think it was done by one of the guild members, so leave a clue behind that it was done by an outsider," Zach suggested.
[A clue, such as?]
"Uhh… a note or something? Or maybe make it like a revenge kill. Yeah… do that…" Zach nodded and said, "Leave a note saying 'This is for what you did to my brother!' or something. And it would look like a revenge kill. I am sure there are many or maybe even all the guild members who want him dead, so it's not a big deal anyway," Zach scoffed softly.
[As you wish, my liege. Now, I must leave. I must find the flying castle first as it ascended not long ago. And there are chances that the guild leader won't be at the guild. However, I will make sure to complete your task. I will not return until I have killed the human and the player named Elliott!]
Urlurk spread his wings further and flapped them before flying away.
"..."
Zach turned to Cerberus and said, "I have a plan to play with the realm boss."

After around two hours, Urlurk finally found the flying castle and managed to infiltrate it. He traveled in the shadows and began the search for Elliott.
