Chapter 894: Soul-Piecring Thorny Whip

Date- 3 April 2321     

Time- 15:12     

Location- Sun Blossom City, Outskirts, Unknown.      

"Yes, your highness. We are at the mission location," Gray Fur reported.      

"Hm, this time after killing that son of bitch make sure he stays dead," Sansa said grudgingly.      

"Yes, your highness I will not make the same mistake twice," the Gray Fur said solemnly.      

"What about your contact for the mission, is he still alive?" Sansa asked if Gray Fur had killed Cole yet.      

"Sniper is handling that matter as we speak your highness," Gray Fur's answered immediately while his gaze turned to search for Sniper to confirm the kill.      

"Ask him to abort the mission, I still have some use for him," Sansa ordered.     

"Yes, your highness. One moment," Hearing Sansa retract her previous orders Gray Fur's mind processed in full throttle unable to find Sniper, and started to believe the contact was already asleep seven feet underground. Hence he asked Sansa for some time to find Sniper to find out if he was too late.      

Inside the woods of the sun blossom city outskirts, Gray fur followed the tracks of Sniper and Mamapimp frantically. Then he finally found a privacy field card, ignoring the field card he walked into it only to hear a grueling scream that would send a chill down a person's bones. Following the harrowing scream, he found bloody Mamapimp bound and hung to the branch of a tree, every inch of his body was covered in wounds, and the blood from the wounds dripped to the ground and formed a small puddle of blood. In face of this gruesome scene, Gray Fur looked away to find Sniper holding a bloody thorny whip with a sadistic grin on his face while his eyes shone with excitement. Gray Fur's intrusion did not seem to hinder his excitement but it only added to it.      

"Team leader, I know it is taking me long, sorry for the delay. I will end it now," Sniper said as he swung the thorny whip with full force to cut the fat bag of meat hung from the tree in half but before the whip could reach its target it was interrupted by Gray Fur's punch confusing Sniper.     

"The orders have changed, her highness needs him alive," Gray Fur explained hurriedly as Sniper wouldn't misunderstand his interruption.      

"I see," hearing Gray Fur's reason Sniper's confusion cleared and then looked at bloody Cole who was covered in wounds and had lost a lot of blood, and add, "Since it is my fault, I will heal him."      

Then Sniper summoned a bottle of green-colored elixir and poured it on Mamapimp's wounds. As the green liquid touched his wounds Cole let out agonizing screams in pain but despite the pain, Cole's wounds seemed to heal. Seeing this Gray Fur gave Sniper a hard glare, feeling Gray Fur's glare Sniper asked, "What?"      

"Just feed him the elixir," Gray Fur ordered as drinking the elixir was an efficient and painless way to heal wounds.     

"Fine," Sniper dejectedly replied and acted on Gray Fur's order by feeding Cole the elixir and then freeing him from his binds.      

Gaining his freedom Cole summoned his grimoire and yelled, "Sky overlords smite," aiming at Sniper. But before his card could activate, Gray  Fur chanted, "Silence" aiming at Cole's grimoire negating his attack.      

Having lost his connection with his grimoire Cole's sanity broke and his mentality descended to despair as he began yelling, "I will kill you, I kill you motherfockers…" the despair in Cole's eyes grew to the point where his yell's changed to him begging for death, "kill me, please kill me I beg you."      

Looking at broken Mamapimp, Gray fur sighed and then he sent a glare toward Sniper as if blaming him, 'Look what you have done.'     

"I think using the soul-piercing thorny whip on a Card Overlord was too much, my bad," The soul-piercing thorny whip that Sniper spoke of pierces the victim's soul with its every attack, the pain inflicted by it was similar to 100 times the pain of piercing a needle under a    

person's fingernail, it was a perfect torture tool and could break any mind in time.     

"Give him a soul-numbing potion while I will ask her highness for help and make sure he does not commit suicide," Though Gray Fur hated asking his master for help as it reflected badly on his performance. But right now he had no choice as codename Mamapimp was beyond repair through normal means.      

"Sure, blame me and my luck," Sniper complained as he summoned a soul-numbing potion and fed it to Mamapimp after grabbing hold of him. Soul numbing potion was like anesthesia for the soul making it an expensive potion, it would help Mamapimp deal with excruciating pain as his soul healed from the wounds inflicted on it by the soul-piercing thorny whip. This way when the Matron fixes the broken Mamapimp with her ability he doesn't feel the pain from the wounds inflicted on his soul.      

Saving Mamapimp from Sniper's torture, Gray fur reported to his Master whose call was on hold during this ordeal, "Your Highness, Codename Mamapimp is alive but mentally he is in no condition to take on a mission."      

"I know, I will deal with it," Sansa was generous and did not blame Gray fur for this mistake.     

"Thank you for showing mercy, your highness," Gray fur thanked Sansa.      

"How do you plan to assassinate the target?" Sansa did not waste any more words on Cole and asked Gray fur his plan on assassinating the target.      

"After locating the target, we plan to drag the target into Flower thief's origin card and feed him to it. This way we make sure that the target stay's died for good," Gray Fur's plan was simple as the Flower Theif's origin card made assassination that simpler.      

"Good plan, if it was some other time you would have succeeded but today you are bound to fail. As a Semi-demigod is hiding in his shadow, if you drag him into the Flower thief's origin card you will be indirectly dragging the semi-demigod in as well. Think harder," Sansa chilled at Gray Fur for not coming up with a better idea.     

"..." Gray fur was out of words hearing that the semi-demigod hiding in the target's shadow could actually follow the target into a different space. Not knowing the limits of the semi-demigod's cards Gary Fur was having a hard time coming up with an effective plan that would not involve them being caught by the semi-demigod protecting the target. Since this mission was handed to him on last minute Gray fur never got to prep for it so he was lacking a lot of information to come up with an effective plan for assassinating the target.      

"Oh god, do I have to do everything around here?" Sansa yelled and then added, "I have informed the circle about the target's plan to attack their sun blossom city branch. They know that three semi-demigods are protecting the kid, so they will make appropriate preparations. When the semi-demigod hidden in the target's shadow along with the other two semi-demigods leave to handle whatever the circle has in store for them, you grab the target into the flower thief's origin card split following your escape plan. Got it?"      

"Yes, your highness," Hearing Sansa's plan, Gray fur felt that it was feasible and did not hesitate to agree to it. As with the semi-demigod hiding in the target's shadow gone the target held zero threat to them as of now.      

"Make sure you don't screw up this time, okay? Because I would hate to lose a capable person like you," Before concluding the call Sansa did not forget to remind Gray fur that his life was at balance here.      

"..." Hearing Sansa's threat Gray Fur could not help but feel depressed seeing how Sansa was willing to get rid of him over one mission despite his decades of service to her cause. He really hated the fact that in this organization anybody could be disposed of any time if Sansa felt like it. Grey fur did not dare to complain or think further about this fearing his master's origin card.      

Frowning at Gray Fur's silence Sansa reminded him, "Remember, as long as you are useful to me I will keep you around. And know this, the higher the risk higher the rewards. Th    

ere is nothing new here, don't go soft just when I was starting to trust you."      

"Yes, madam. The organization has been nothing but kind to me," Gray Fur hurriedly replied feeling glad to know that Sansa valued him enough to go out of her way and console him with her words when she didn't need to. This helped Gray Fur out of his depressing thoughts.      

"It seems the Gray Fur I know is back, good. I look forward to the good news," saying that Sansa hung up.      

Next Gray fur looked at Mamapimp who stared at the void with his blank eyes, he was still out of it but soon the gaze in his eyes changed they seemed to display confusion at first then it grew clear.
