11. Golden opportunity.
This loop had to be different from the rest.
I quickly geared myself up with knives and headed to the garden to practice throwing knives.
It wasn't anything too flashy, I was just throwing the knife untill a system message appeared.
As time passed I got more consistent and the knife began getting stuck to the tree more often.
[Your throwing knives technique had improved 0.10% ~ 0.15%]
"Finally " I sighed.
Night quickly came and as usual I stood at the back entrance waiting.
The last maid exited the building and I slammed the door shut.
"I know you're there... come out" I spoke.
" Oh my..." Luv smiled as she sat atop the counter.
"I'm actually embarrassed.." she touched her forehead, "If a nobody slave like you can see through my illusions that means I still have a long way to go.." she sighed in defeat.
"Yeah, your illusion techniques are kinda trash not gon lie" I shoot my head emphatically.
She looked at me with an amused gaze then chucked her head to the side.
"Just attack me.." I waved my hand," There's seriously no need to prolong the conversation".
She looked at me a bit of confusion,but her cheeky smile returned soon after.
"As you wish.."
*Whoosh* he body totally disappeared from my sight.
'Behind you!!!! ',
I managed to turn back in time, unsheathing the kitchen knife from my trowsers as I blocked Luv's incoming attack.
The female assassin looked perplexed, here face twisted in bewilderment.
"Oh my.." she back away, but I didn't let her regain her footing, this time I was going to spam her with attack until she lowers her guard once then I'll attack.
Thanks to the 5 existence stones,my kitchen knife was inches from her face in seconds.
"What the-" her voice was cut short as grabbed her hand.
Her pink eyes widened in confusion.
' I have to give her 0 time to react', my dagger grazed her noze as she twisted her body in an unusual angle, escaping from my firm grip.
It was my turn to be surprised,
' How did she do that !!?? ' I thought.
It happened to fast and the rainbow daggers was already pentratng my throat.
[Player has died]
The regular approach h won't work I have to try something better, if I spam her with attacks I have a chance.
My mind raced.
'Return '
The trophy room came into view and I sighed.
' Five existence stones can only take you so far ' I thought.
"G-Grey" Amy popped behind me.
I looked at her. "Oh hi Amy.." I said as I dropped the trophy in my hand and grabbed the tray she was holding.
"I guess this is for me right?" I asked and she replied with a nod.
"Thanks.." I smiled.
"O-okay" she replied with a smile too then walked away.
I repeated the same routine for few lives, I came back to the trophy room, went to the garden to practice my knife throwing skills, and get absolutely destroyed by the assasin.
I repeated ith for a few times then I started noticing a pattern, if I get her upset, she will go for my back, however If I taunt her she wll attack at my heart afterwards and if I dragged out the fight for too long the red robed assassin will kill me.
And the other thing I've noticed the the price dies 50 minutes after I encounter the assassin, that must mean the prince is strong enough to last against the red robed guy.
The thought of teaming up with the prince to fight the red robed guy didn't sound like a bad idea, but I had a wall in front of me that needed to be overcomed Aka the female assassin—Luv.
[Player has died]
I retired to the trophy room.

I sighed, I've relived the day more than ten times already.
I looked otut the glamorous window.
"Is beating these people stimm possible..?" , I asked myself.
Night fell quickly, but this time I walked into the kitchen way after the first maid had gone to see what will happen, and to my shock the female assassin wasn't there.
I looked at the counter in confusion.
Then I slowly felt a tingling sensation at the back of my neck.
My eyes widened.
' She's behind me..!!!', My gaze shot back with lighting speed as I drew out my kitchen knifes.
[Knifet throwing:1.25%] the knife flew out of my cloth and glided through the air, Luv caught it before the tip of the blade could reached the female assassin,.
And I immediately charged in, her eyes widened with surprised as I grabbed her hand.
[JACKPOT!!!!]

But this was a golden opportunity.... so I had to do what it takes to bring her down.
My hands turned black as Luv's wrist emated a purple aura entering my fingers.
"What is this...?" Her brow furrowed as we slipped and fell on the concretes tiles.
[Do you want to upgrade your skill "Absorbsion" ]
"Yes!!"
[Due to blood contact skill had meet the requirements]
"Activating " Absorbsion>> fatal
I felt it immediately, the way the female assassin eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
She screamed as she st uck a dagger in my chest.
"Aargghh" I goraned as blood dripped out of the wound, but I was not done.
[[Absorbsion 19%]
