Chapter 198 New Skills and a Grim Mission

"What kind of mission?" With his curiosity piqued, Desmond asked with interest.

"Assassination"

After a brief silence, Desmond dropped his interested and playful expression and the entire aura around him seemed to instantly grow darker.

"A mission for a Shadowhunter I assume"

Elaisa smiled bitterly at Desmond's sudden change and replied, "They are the only assassination missions we take."

Before Elaisa could continue explaining she was quickly interrupted by Desmond who had no interest in accepting the mission without first asking a question of vital importance to him.

"If I remember correctly, Shadowhunters usually take these types of missions and they are mostly commissioned to hunt down all kinds of villains... What kind of monster am I hunting?"

Being aware to some degree of some of the moral boundaries concerning her hunter Elaisa was not particularly surprised by Desmond's question so she replied lazily.
