Chapter 544: The God of Death’s Descendants
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We will soon be able to pass through the primitive forest and arrive at the fortress city. Everyone, please rest.”
A team of over a hundred elves passed through the dense primitive forest. Even though each of them did not exude a powerful aura, the aura of a high-tier life form still made the nearby magical beasts retreat three meters away. Some magical beasts that could not dodge in time even crawled on the ground, whimpering and shivering.
The person who spoke was a female elf leading the elven troops. That female elf had short emerald-green hair and wore black tights, exposing her thighs and smooth lower abdomen. She looked very sexy. She also wore a black mask on her face, only revealing a pair of beautiful star-shaped eyes. Her thin eyebrows were like two willow leaves.
That female elf was the leader of the assassination team sent by the Elven King to capture Watson. Her name was Delta, and she was initially a member of the elven assassination team under Elder Daphne’s command.
Every member of the elven assassination team was trained as an assassin from birth. They did not have real names, only code names. Delta was a code name, symbolizing that she occupied the fourth seat in the assassination team. The three assassins above her position were Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. At that moment, she was accompanied by Beta.

They were different from the 100 elven assassins that King Jersey had temporarily assembled as professional assassins. They were more professional.
“I’m so tired. After traveling for a day, I can finally rest.”
A burly man with short white hair and a longbow on his back sat down with his arms flapping. His body was different from the other elves’ gorgeous clothes made of leaves. He wore a simple linen robe. His exposed skin was covered in knife wounds and sword scars.
“Is there anyone willing to go hunting and get us some food?”
After sitting on the ground, the burly man looked around. Sensing his gaze, the other elves’ pupils contracted, and they subconsciously took a few steps backward. It was obvious that they were afraid of that burly man.
“Beta, if you want to eat, go find it yourself. We are not your slaves,” Delta frowned and berated him in dissatisfaction.
The seemingly carefree, white-haired elf was the second-in-command of the assassination team—Beta. In the battle at the fortress city the previous day, Beta had single-handedly killed more than 200 humans. His greatest contribution that day was taking down the fortress city.
“Delta, why are you talking to me like that? Are you provoking me? His Majesty sent you and me to that battle. I’m already very displeased about that. I am enough to capture a human youth. Sending so many useless people will only slow me down. You guys can only be useful in capturing animals and cooking. If you can’t even do that, I really don’t know why I have to bring you guys along.”
Beta reached out to pick her ears, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. Her seemingly casual words contained strong killing intent.
“Beta, what do you mean? You’re indeed very strong. We may not be your match, but we’ve also become powerful after our race chess piece improved. Don’t underestimate us.”
Without waiting for Delta to speak, a male elf in the crowd had spoken up in anger.
As he spoke, the male elf looked carefully at Delta. When he realized that Delta was expressionless and did not look at him, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
Even though Delta was an assassin, her beautiful appearance and excellent figure brought her many admirers in the elven race. That male elf was one of them. The veil on Delta’s face was not to hide her facial features to avoid being recognized. It hid her beauty and prevented her from receiving too much attention.
Leaving Delta aside, that male elf had stood up against Beta because he had transformed under the power of the race chess pieces. He was only a weak silver-tier elf in the past, but he had transformed into a platinum-tier mythical creature. He was an elite, no matter how one thought about it.
“I remember that you were one of the first people to be given energy by His Majesty using the race’s chess pieces. The one who awakened seems to be the blood demon race.”
Beta turned around and sneered, “You’re complacent and think that you’re an amazing elite just because the power was given to you. Because of that mindset, I say that you guys can’t do it! The so-called strength would be meaningless if they were not earned through countless trials and tribulations. I can kill a guy like you with just a flick of my finger. Would you believe me if I said that?”
“I don’t believe you.”
Feeling the coldness in Beta’s eyes, the male elf’s body trembled, and then he puffed out his chest.
Whoosh!
A soundless wind blew past, and a crack suddenly appeared on the male elf’s body. The crack rotated around his neck. Then, his head broke off from his neck with a click and fell to the ground.
The surrounding elves looked terrified because they did not even see how Beta attacked the male elf before he died. The male elf’s head still looked the same as before; it was as if he did not even feel that he was injured.
“Overconfidence. That is the symbol of an idiot.”

Retracting his finger, Beta continued to pick his ears. The male elf who had his head cut off had reacted, and scarlet blood appeared on the surface of his head and body. The blood then turned into hard steel. The connection in the air seemed to reforge his body. However, that process only lasted for half of the scarlet blood before a layer of black mist appeared on the surface.
Under the effect of the black mist, the blood’s condensation finally stopped, but the blood had lost its vitality. It collapsed to the ground, and the terrified voice of the male elf came from within it.
“Why can’t my body regenerate? I have the bloodline of the mythical creature, blood demon. Even if my body is hacked into pieces, I can be resurrected with just a piece of tissue remaining. But why—”
The screams stopped abruptly. The Blood Demon Elf’s body had turned entirely rotten from blood water that seeped into the soil and disappeared.
“Beta had killed one of us.”
“His Majesty had also given him the power from the chess piece set. What race did he evolve from? How did he kill the blood demon race that claimed to be immortal? Let’s not talk about that. We have drunk from the Spring of Life to gain eternal life. Why didn’t the other elves resurrect?”
The elves looked at the blood on the ground, their expressions becoming even more gloomy.
“Beta, you dare to use the power of death on your companion? Under its effect, your opponent will not be protected. They might even welcome true death. Before capturing Watson, you had already lost a companion for no reason atll. What are you trying to do?”
Delta could not stand it any longer; she snorted coldly.
‘I just told him that I could kill him. He did not believe that he had chosen to give his life to me. What can I do? Such a foolish fellow would not be able to do anything even if he was alive. Instead, he might be a burden. What I am doing is meaningful! Delta, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I don’t mind sending you to eternal sleep as well.”
Beta stretched his hand from his ear and flicked it. He revealed his mouthful of sharp teeth at Delta, as if he would attack Delta if she said something wrong.
“You… forget it.”
Delta’s expression darkened. Her lips moved as she wanted to say something, but in the end, she chose to hold it in. As the leader of the assassination team, she and Beta were also given the power of a race chess piece. Since they had their own powerful strength, she and Beta had evolved into mythical creatures that were different from the others. They were already peak diamond-tier elites.
Beta was evolved from an ancient god, the God of Death. It was a race born from the God of Death’s blood. It possessed the ability to bestow death to the people.. However, she evolved her mythical creature Phoenix and Beta’s abilities were too weak; it was not a good fight.
