Chapter 866 - Assassin

Great King City.

In a chamber within the City Lord Mansion, Sophia’s eyes flew open. She coughed as blood leaked out from the corners of her lips. In the next moment, large purple bruises appeared on her snow-white body, intertwining into the face of a grotesque ghost.

The ghost face fiercely struggled as if it wanted to break free from her flesh and blood. Ghastly shrieks and howls filled the quiet chamber.

Curse backlash!

Her eyes flashed with startled anger. Sophia raised a front hoof and placed it between her eyebrows. A mark instantly appeared, releasing a rainbow-hued light. As the light flashed it instantly spread across her body, covering her entirely within.

The ghost face angrily roared but it was finally suppressed, hidden within her flesh and blood.

Hu –

Hu –

Sophia gasped for breath in great heaving gulps. Due to the simultaneous feelings of anger and fear, her face was pale white.

The curse life form had been killed!

This was the only possible reason for her to suffer such a terrifying backlash. It had to be known that the curse life form was a life-saving tool the High Ancestor had gifted her when she came of age. It had been the direct descendant of the Cursed Eye and had great potential for growth.

Now that it had been killed, the Cursed Eye would never let this go. Just now she had borrowed her life mark to barely suppress the outbreak of the backlash. But, this measure was simply a stopgap; it wouldn’t last forever.

Unless she returned as soon as possible and asked the High Ancestor for help, once this backlash erupted again her body simply wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Damn it!”

Sophia clenched her jaw
