"Tonight, we're going to assassinate that half-baked Beast King hiding behind the scenes!"
When those words quietly echoed from Shokuhou Misaki's lips and reached everyone present, an indescribable pressure seemed to weigh upon their hearts, making even the air feel heavy.

That was undoubtedly a crazy, utterly reckless thing to do!
If a Ninth Order Peak expert skilled in concealment had been present, they might have been able to give it a try, with a decent chance of success. But none of Shokuhou Misaki's group was a Ninth Order Peak expert!

As for Hilif and Fei Fei, there was no need to even mention them; they were not even Ninth Order experts.
This seven-person team, whose strongest members were only at the early Ninth Order, barely capable of reaching the middle Ninth Order, with two members at the Eighth Order, would have trouble assassinating even a Ninth Order Peak expert, let alone a pseudo-Demigod Rank powerhouse.
