133. The Curse of the Bloody Hand

Of course Serena wanted to go against the orders of the Bloody Hand but how could such a thorough organisation not account for such circumstances?

Through the use of an elaborate concoction of poisons, secret flaws in their mana technique and some other secret techniques they had in effect left a secret back door in every trained assassin that allowed them to control their life and death and in doing so, controlling every action they made.

Because of this twisted fate and Serena's unfortunate talent in the very thing she hated the most, she was forced to walk a path of endless death and blood.

If it wasn't for a certain lucky incident she would have been forced to walk the path of death and destruction for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately for Serena or maybe even fortunately for her one of her missions ended up in a disastrous failure for her leaving her near death.
