Chapter 1154
It was only her head on the coin, but it had been delicately crafted . And simmering beneath the surface of that innocent image was an untold power .
And startlingly, the face was familiar to Han Sen . He knew of a person who's face looked exactly like the one on the coin . It took a while for him to remember her image, due to him having only seen this woman once .
When the Empty Witch ascended to the Third God's Sanctuary, a spirit escorted her through the door that manifested in the air .
Han Sen's remembrance of that spirit's face was a little woozy . A lot had been going on when he saw her, and it was a very long time ago . So, even though his memory of it was fuzzy at first, it was now coming back to him .
Staring at the coin intently, Han Sen couldn't shake the feeling that it really was her . The resemblance, at least, was uncanny .
She had also left the mark of a lotus on Han Sen's forehead, but it was destroyed by Dragon King . Dragon King told Han Sen that he had been marked by the Lotus Empress .
"This must be her . It has to be! It has to be the Lotus Empress!" Han Sen was firm in this belief . He wasn't one hundred percent sure, but he couldn't think of anyone else it could have looked like .
Han Sen looked around, wondering if there was anything else worth taking, but there wasn't .
Proper currency was worthless in the sanctuary, so coins must have been forged by the Alliance . But the hardest material in the Alliance was z-steel alloy, and it wasn't as sturdy as the material used to craft the coin .
The coin had been retrieved by the creature from below the earth, so it was also quite puzzling why it had been buried in the soil of such a random location .
Han Sen had been rattled by this discovery, and it made him a whole lot more curious about the creature that had initially collected the coin . But alas, Han Sen had been lost in thought for some time, and he hadn't paid attention to how long he had been down there .
Han Sen was afraid the little creature could show up any second .
He went over to hide beneath the garbage . There was a mighty shield amidst the junk, and it was perfect for him to hide behind . He masked his scent and clutched Taia tightly .
Han Sen was planning to wait until the creature returned, and when it did, assassinate it .
It was a super creature, and if he was able to insta-kill it through assassination and forego the need for a drawn-out fight, that'd be a mighty swell thing indeed .
It wasn't long until Han Sen started to hear sounds coming from further up the cave . They were the sounds of the creature, on its way back down as predicted .
Han Sen made sure his scent was hidden . Then, he went into a state of focus, ensuring the hand that held the sword was firm but relaxed and ready to strike .
To perform the strongest assassination strike, your body had to be relaxed . It was something he had practiced extensively during his time in the First God's Sanctuary . He was very proficient in the ways of the assassin .
Not too much later, Han Sen felt the little creature approach .
He could sense something scraping against the ground, and this made Han Sen think the creature was bringing a bigger item along with it .
