Chapter 152: Assassin’s creed

Sanctuary city was a monument to dominance, a bastion where the strongest guilds in the Heavenly Domain reigned supreme.

It was the most expensive region to enter and live in the Heavenly Domain, entering it was a proof of wealth and status.

Built atop a sprawling plateau, its golden walls gleamed under the eternal sunlight, towering over the land like the seat of divinity itself.

The city’s architecture was an intricate mix of divine craftsmanship and player-built fortifications, pristine marble structures adorned with celestial engravings, towering ivory spires, and majestic halls where the elite held council.

At the city’s heart lay the Sanctuary Keep, a massive citadel surrounded by concentric rings of defenses; magic-forged barricades, watchtowers bristling with enchanted weaponry, and legions of elite NPCs and players alike patrolling the streets.

The streets were bustling, not with ordinary players but the chosen few; ranked warriors, strategists, and commanders of the top guilds.

This was where the headquarters of the top guilds was located.

The air was thick with aura and prestige, an unspoken declaration that Sanctuary City was the seat of power, the nexus of authority in the Heavenly Domain.

A fortress so secure... that no sane person would dare infiltrate it.

Well, Aria was never truly sane.

Aria’s plan was simple, she did not involve everybody, all she wanted was swift, capable, and deadly allies, the original cohort.

She wanted to play Assassin’s creed; enter unnoticed, kill an important figure, escape without being caught.

Then do it again. Rinse and repeat.

For the next few weeks, she was determined to be the bane of the top guilds, breaking their false belief of safety behind the walls of Sanctuary City.

And she started today.

...

Nightfall.

A silhouette darted cross the rooftops, barely a whisper against the cold stone.

Aria moved with predatory grace, her figure blending into the shadows, her presence as fleeting as the wind.

And she wasn’t alone.

At her back were the select few, the cohort she had chosen for this operation. Noah, Caleb, Nightingale, and two others. A team built not for war, but for death.

Their mission? Kill an important figure.

Disappear.

Then do it again.

Their first mark was Elias Winterbane, Guildmaster of White Dawn, a key strategist behind the alliance against Guild Echelon.

A man known for his meticulous planning and unshakable composure. A leader who had been orchestrating the suppression of Echelon’s growth in the Heavenly Domain after his apprentice was humiliated in the beginner domain.

Well, tonight... he would die.

The infiltration was seamless and silent.

They moved like shadows in a world of light, threading through blind spots, scaling glistening white towers, and evading patrols with near-perfect coordination.

Aria led the way, her every step precise, her body tense with bloodthirsty anticipation.

Sanctuary Keep was a fortress designed to repel entire armies, but it was never built to stop ghosts.

They slipped inside through a narrow vent leading into the Guildmasters’ Hall, their entry unseen unheard.

Inside, golden chandeliers bathed the corridors in celestial radiance, marble floors gleamed underfoot, and divine inscriptions pulsed with protective wards.

Guards patrolled in tight formations, elite players in full divine regalia, their presence a clear warning, this was no place for the weak.

But Aria and her squad were anything but weak.

Step by step, they closed in on their prey.

Elias Winterbane sat in his chamber, poring over tactical maps, unaware that death had already entered the room.

With a silent flick of the wrist, Aria hurled a dagger.

{Assassination=}

A high-level Assassin skill with a 100% chance of insta-killing a target if you successfully hit a vital organ like the throat, heart, or brain.

The blade sank deep into the throat of his bodyguard before the man could utter a sound. The NPC could not resist, killed in an instant.

Elias’ eyes widened as he shot to his feet, but before he could even reach for his weapon...

Noah moved.

SWHING!

Aetherforge sang through the air in its battle lance form, its golden edge catching the light for a fraction of a second before it sliced through the Guildmaster’s chest.

Almost at the same time, Aria appeared behind her opponent like a ghost, her twin swords flying off dangerously in a blur.

Benjamin activated an Elementalist skill, calling forth tree branches that curled out of the ground, binding the Guild Master in place.

In seconds, dozens of attacks flew between the assassins.

And then, Benjamin’s skill dissipated.

Elias staggered back, gasping, his eyes filled with the stark realization..., this wasn’t just a random attack.

This was an execution.

But he couldn’t even scream, his Avatar’s HP was already dangerously low, below 10%. He was already dead.

Aria finished it.

With a brutal downward slash, she severed his head clean from his shoulders.

The body collapsed.

Blood stained the golden floor.

The first head of many had fallen.

And before the alarms could ring, before the guards could storm in...

They were already gone.

...

That night, a commotion would start in Sanctuary City.

The top guilds tried to hide the information but with Nightingale’s networks fanning the flames from the shadows, the news soon spread like wildfire in a dry harmattan. It could not be stopped.

News that assassins infiltrated Sanctuary City, precisely the Sanctuary Keep, and Elias Winterbane, the Guildmaster of White Dawn was killed.

"What?!"

"How???"

Infiltrating into the Sanctuary Keep alone was shocking enough, killing Elias Winterbane was borderline insane, and yet that was not the most shocking fact.

The most shocking fact was to escape safely after doing all that.

That night, the indomitability of the Sanctuary Keep was challenged, the sanctity of the domain of the top guilds was defiled.

That night, the Heavenly Domain was left reeling in shock.

And so it began...

This assassination was only the beginning.

For the next few weeks, Aria and her cohort of killers would turn Sanctuary City into a hunting ground.

No high-ranking guild member was safe.

No war council was uninterrupted.

Every night, a new body fell, and there was no damn thing that they could do about it.

It was scary.

Aria had become more than a player; she had become a myth.

The Vengeful Wraith of Sanctuary City.
