Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all elite members of the organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though fear gripped their hearts, their years of training kept them calm. Without panic, they slipped wordlessly into the shadows that clung to every corner of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell of blood was growing thicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened outside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could answer that question, Matthews suddenly felt a tremor of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face grew grave as he whispered in a low, cold voice, \"Someone has entered. Be on guard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as if in response to his warning, the chamber was plunged into complete darkness. The faint glow of the lamps snuffed out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassins of the Dark Order had long since prepared for such a scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they melted into the darkness, activating their unique ability to merge seamlessly with the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, they were practically undetectable, hidden from even the sharpest eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, no enemy would ever be able to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the depths of his hiding place, Matthews watched, his heart pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A grim expression formed on his face. He could scarcely believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This secret base, hidden for so many years, carefully concealed from the eyes of empires and great factions alike, had been discovered tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? How?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had there been a traitor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or had someone betrayed them, leaking the location of this stronghold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The questions burned in Matthews’ mind, but he knew now was not the time for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only truth that mattered was this—the enemy was already inside the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quiet efficiency of the intrusion unsettled him even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, outside the chamber, countless Dark Order members were being cut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heads rolled across the floor, blood spread in thick streams, and corpses piled high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few survivors fought desperately, but their struggles were futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, in the darkness that should have been their advantage, the Dark Order’s members were being overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their most honed skills, their greatest strengths, were utterly meaningless against this foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the chamber grew unbearably heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every assassin was on edge, their eyes fixed on the entrance, waiting, straining to hear the faintest sign of their attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matthews, the strongest among them, drew deeper into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned his Hero Rank ability—spiritual perception. With it, he could sense even the subtlest movements within his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, he felt a number of dark shapes moving around the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something disturbed him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were others—others he could not sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certain presences remained completely hidden from his spiritual perception, shrouded in an aura too deep, too refined to pierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those assassins were enveloped within the oppressive aura of the Gold Assassin himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his concealment, the Elemental Assassins had become indistinguishable from the environment itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from within the chamber, a faint breeze stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassins of the Dark Order tensed. The sudden draft in this sealed room was a clear sign—something unnatural was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could react, several of the First Squad’s operatives collapsed silently, their throats slit open by invisible blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed across the floor, soaking into the stone. The stench of iron filled the air, making it almost suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matthews’ face darkened in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never—never had he imagined that an enemy could slaughter his subordinates right before his eyes, and yet remain unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were not weaklings. These were elites, some even of Elite Rank or Expert Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had been dispatched like children, struck down without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most chilling part of it all was that Matthews had sensed nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, a Hero Rank level 9 powerhouse—someone who could even stand against a Master Rank adversary—had not even glimpsed the enemy’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absurd. It was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Crossbridge Empire, few could match him. Perhaps only Austin, the Cardinal of the Church, could truly be said to suppress him. Beyond that, there should have been no one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet here he was, surrounded by an enemy so terrible, he could not even locate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every instinct screamed danger. His heart pounded in his chest as his breath slowed. He forced himself to remain still, to remain sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his perception told him nothing, he felt the weight of many eyes upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, concealed in the darkness, no fewer than a dozen Elemental Assassins watched him intently, Gold Assassin himself among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the strike came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of killing intent surged toward Matthews. He barely had time to react. Pure instinct drove his body to dodge, moving before his conscious mind caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, a dagger sank deep into his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matthews gritted his teeth, his lips twisting in pain. With a surge of energy, he repelled the attacker, blasting the assassin backward into the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, he leapt away, his body flickering as he attempted to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan had been to use the chamber to his advantage. In this confined space, he believed his overwhelming power could turn the tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had been terribly wrong. Fatally wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These assassins gave him no opening. No chance to unleash his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they used the simplest, most brutal tactics of their kind—hit, vanish, bleed the enemy dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already, his body bore several wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued, death was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw clenched tight. Matthews made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mid-flight, he released a burst of energy, twisting his body’s trajectory in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his target was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could smash his way out, escape into the open, then he might have a chance. Once free of this suffocating space, tracking him would not be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resounding crash, the chamber door splintered apart like paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since the ambush began, Matthews saw the light of the outside. Relief flickered in his eyes, a fragile spark of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could take another step, a blade as black as midnight pierced cleanly through his back, driving into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last sound he heard was the faint whisper of steel sliding through flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, the proud Hero Rank assassin, Matthews of the Dark Order, fell into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1385,"2026-05-30T04:13:42.167Z","2026-06-01T04:30:17.337Z",1,"novelbin.me","26dc04718478ead79afe1038babae7b743f8d3325912e5438fff1a4fe1f9d93a","summoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-chapter-45","summoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-chapter-43",690,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsummoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-cover.jpg"]
