Chapter 1551: Is this an assassination?

At this moment, Su Xiao was maintaining a crouching, head-tilted posture; as long as he extended his body, more than half of his upper torso could lean out of the window.

The Apostle's Eye, flying in mid-air, was activated. Su Xiao disengaged the safety on D·Assassination. Although this Legendary-grade pistol had decent lethality in frontal combat, its true purpose was assassination—otherwise, it wouldn't have been named D·Assassination. All three of its abilities were geared toward assassination.

Equipment Effect 1: Savage Mark (Active). If not discovered by the enemy, after activating Savage Mark, it will lock onto the heads of six enemies (if there is only one enemy, it will form a triple mark simultaneously). The next six bullets will track the marks (heads) on the enemies and increase firing speed by 100%.

Equipment Effect 2: Skull Crusher (Passive). If the enemy's head is successfully hit, the damage of this attack is increased by 45%.

Equipment Effect 3: Silent Hunter (Passive). Bullets carry silent and perception-shielding effects. After a bullet hits an enemy's head, it will expand into a silent domain with a diameter of 3 meters.

……

Lock on, damage increased by nearly 50% after a headshot, and a silent domain is created.

Through the Apostle's Eye, Su Xiao already clearly understood the situation inside the watchtower. There were a total of seven witches inside. Two of them were snuggled up on a small bed, fast asleep. From their exposed backs and thighs, it was clear that these two were completely naked. The other five witches seemed to be used to it, each doing their own thing.

Of the seven witches, only two were sitting in front of the window observing the surrounding sea area. One of them was clearly already asleep, with drool flowing out.

Su Xiao activated the "Savage Mark (Active)" ability of D·Assassination. Through the vision of the Apostle's Eye, he saw white skull patterns appearing above the heads of these witches, but the witches were completely unaware.

The white skulls gradually changed color. When they turned completely red, it meant the lock-on was successful. There were seven people in the watchtower, but Savage Mark could only form six marks, so Su Xiao gave up on one of the witches sleeping on the bed.

Two seconds later, all six Savage Marks turned red. Su Xiao suddenly straightened up, holding D·Assassination level in his hand.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

After seven shots with a distinct sense of rhythm, six witches in the watchtower had their skulls pierced, and the last one had her neck pierced.

No sound of falling came; the silent domain had already enveloped this watchtower.

Su Xiao unhooked the grappling hook from his waist and leaped into the watchtower. The witch who had fallen into a pool of blood raised her hand; she seemed to be shouting.

Su Xiao fired two shots immediately, and the witch fell to the ground. He had killed seven witches in a row, but he didn't obtain a single treasure chest, and the Source of Pioneering was a pathetic 0.3%—and that was the combined Source of Pioneering for all seven witches.

This was actually normal; how could a witch with status come to guard a watchtower?

Standing on the other side of the watchtower, Su Xiao saw the distant West Port, which was more magnificent than he had imagined. He wondered how many generations of slaves these witches had exploited to build West Port to this scale.

Not long after, Melodie climbed into the watchtower using the rope Su Xiao had left behind. Seeing the corpses inside, she turned her head away and covered one of the bodies with a bedsheet; this might have been an acquaintance of hers.

Melodie's mouth opened and closed, but she made no sound, which left her stunned for a moment before she tried to raise her voice.

Su Xiao signaled her to shut up. The silent domain blocked the transmission of sound. Even if he fired a shot here with Duke of Silence, no one would notice. Infiltrating West Port was simpler than Su Xiao had imagined.

However, given the strict security of West Port, it wouldn't be long before someone came to the watchtower to change shifts. Therefore, Su Xiao took Melodie and leaped into the sea on the other side of the watchtower. As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, it was already waiting for Su Xiao on the shore...

With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang clearing the path ahead, Su Xiao soon reached the beach area. In the distance, he could still see a few children playing on the sand.

"Hey, hey? Hey?"

Melodie patted her ears, and both Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at her in confusion.

"I can speak now."

Su Xiao stopped paying attention to Melodie. The sound of the waves entered his ears as he moved forward, taking off his diving suit.

Just as he crossed the beach, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise made Su Xiao stop in his tracks.

【Prompt: The Hunter has entered a high-risk area, West Port.】

【West Port is a medium-sized witch gathering place. It is recommended that ten or more Tier 4 Qiyuezhe coordinate to enter.】

【If the Hunter enters the West Port area, killing enemies will no longer yield treasure chests, Source of Pioneering, etc.; only Holy Healing Church reputation can be obtained.】

【If the Hunter successfully kills Witch Queen Morisa and destroys the 'Sun Conversion Crystal' (this action signifies the destruction of the witch gathering point), the Hunter's kill record within West Port will receive settlement rewards. If the Hunter leaves the West Port area during this period, the kill record will be cleared.】

……

Seeing the series of prompts from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; it was somewhat similar to participating in a large-scale plot event, but more dangerous.

When Su Xiao and his group passed through the beach area, those children in the distance clearly noticed the group. Purple light flickered in Melodie's eyes, and those children immediately knelt on the sand.

"Look, this is the result of generations of management by Witch Queen Morisa's family. In West Port, the status of a witch is supreme."

Looking at the little ones kneeling in the distance, Melodie clenched her fists. Her younger brother had died because of these inexplicable rules, which was also the main reason she chose to escape West Port.

Crossing the beach area, the group could finally be considered to have officially entered the scope of West Port.

West Port had over a dozen winding stone stairs, and Su Xiao's current location was the outermost periphery of West Port. Those living here were all commoners, the descendants of the initial batch of slaves. Of course, West Port would also frequently replenish with fresh blood.

Behind a residential house, Su Xiao was adjusting a certain piece of equipment in his hand, while Melodie urged him repeatedly. She understood the situation inside West Port, so she knew this location was not safe; any commoner who saw this group would shout loudly or quietly report them to the witches.

"What do we do next? If we are to infiltrate secretly, I recommend taking those stone stairs over there; they lead directly to..."

Melodie was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something was wrong; Su Xiao was actually walking toward the street.

"Hey, aren't we going to assassinate Witch Queen Morisa?"

Hearing Melodie's words, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped.

"Isn't this an assassination?"

As Su Xiao spoke, he tossed an arm-thick test tube from his hand.

With a crisp sound, the test tube shattered, and green flames spread out. It was Hades, the Flame of the Underworld.

The green flames gradually expanded. Hades was not a weapon primarily for killing enemies; its burning speed was not fast. Even commoners would not be easily burned to death by Hades. Its main function was to destroy buildings, burning down a city at a slow speed. ===== CHAPTER 1552 =====
