Act V. The Assassin
Assassin?
Compared to the fact that he inexplicably seemed to have really become the heroic spirit of this crown war, Lawson was even more surprised by the rank that the lich had mentioned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
As a swordsman, he also has the fierce nickname of Bone Rider, not to mention a swordsman, even a berserker is more reasonable, how did he become an assassin?
According to Langton's memory, the Heroic Spirits in the Crown War will receive different ranks according to their abilities, and these ranks are not only famous, but also have corresponding ability improvements.
For example, the rank of "Swordsman" corresponds to the [Intuition] condensed by the experience of the past battles or the [Anti-Magic] against spells, while the "Berserker" is the [Berserker] that sacrifices consciousness in exchange for a large increase in ability.
As for the Assassin, the ability gained is [Breath Covering].
To put it simply, Lawson can be said to have the most powerful ability to conceal the aura at present, and people of the same rank can hardly detect Lawson's whereabouts unless they have extremely keen senses.
What surprised Rosen even more was that the system he carried with him actually recognized this [Breath Masking] ability, and directly displayed it in Rosen's skill list, and it was no different from the system's own skills.

[Assassins of all generations have to learn, the method of hiding their own breath]
[It is rumored that he was buried among mountains of corpses for several days to eliminate the breath of life, but it is not true]
[Legend has it that after training it to the peak, it can even deceive the will of the world]
[However, in any case, this is a very lonely skill]
"Assassin ......"
Langton glanced at Rosen when he heard the news.
Skeletons armed with large swords and heavily armored cannot be connected to assassins in the traditional sense of the word, hidden in the shadows.
"There can be no mistake in the choice of rank, since he has been chosen as the assassin, then there must be a reason. โ
The soul fire in Tigris's eyes burned, and he carefully observed the "heroic spirit" in front of him.
Skeletons are almost the lowest level of existence among the undead, and even this living corpse servant of Tigris is more advanced than skeletons, so the first time he saw such a powerful skeleton, Tigris was also quite curious, if the other party was not a heroic spirit, he would definitely do everything possible to trick it into the test bench and study it carefully.
"However, the rank of assassin rarely appears on the battlefield of the crown war. โ
Thinking of the few assassin appearances, Tigris sighed a little.
In the very beginning of the crown war, not only the summoned Heroic Spirits, but even the summoners themselves would participate in the actual battle, and there were not so many restrictions at that time, compared to the Heroic Spirits that were difficult to kill, the way to deal with the summoners was simpler, so the assassin was almost one of the strongest Heroic Spirits at that time.
However, after restricting attacks on summoners, the Assassin plummeted to become the weakest class, failing to win a single crown war.
Although Langton was the first additional summoner in history, he was the lowest assassin in the draw, and it seemed that he was also more than lucky.
Tigris sighed and looked at Rosen.
"Good luck. โ
"There's a question, Lord Tigris. โ
Lawson suddenly spoke, speaking in a deep voice.
"Isn't it true that as long as you kill someone else's Heroic Spirit, then it doesn't matter what means you use?"
"Of course, rank is just a symbol after all, and it doesn't limit the strength of the Heroic Spirit itself...... Wait, who was talking just now?"
Coming back to his senses, Tigris suddenly looked up at Langton.
"Uh, it's not me ......"
Langton hurriedly waved his hand, the lich's terrifying gaze already had a terrifying effect, which made Langton feel even more frightened.
"It's me. โ
Rosen spoke again, causing Tigris to look to his side.
"The skeleton actually spoke?"
The curiosity in Tigris's heart intensified a little.
Skeletons that could speak, at least not in Tigris's lifetime, were a miracle that they were able to generate self-consciousness, let alone magic, and master the art of vibrating the air with magical power.
"Whether I can speak or not is not the point, Master Tigris. โ
Lawson said that it seems that he will have to say as little as possible in the future, and that talking skeletons are quite rare even in the realm of the dead.
"Regarding the strength of the Heroic Spirit in the Crown War, I remember that there is a certain range, right?"
Langton once explained some common knowledge of the crown war.
First of all, the summoner, must come from five of the three major forces, and it must be a younger generation whose strength does not exceed bronze, as for the heroic spirits, although they are strange, but with some exceptions, when they are summoned, they are basically bound to the bronze level due to the limitation of magic power.
"That's right, although the strength of the Heroic Spirit fluctuates up and down, it basically remains at the bronze level, which is the result of the limit of the amount of magic power. โ
Tigris replied, a slight doubt in his tone, it stands to reason that the Heroic Spirit should have known the basics of the Crown War when he was summoned, and the question of the Heroic Spirit in front of him was quite strange.
"My lord, I didn't summon it completely because of some accidents when I summoned it, Al...... My Heroic Spirit has also lost most of its memories, leaving only the skill of fighting. โ
Hearing Tigris's doubts, Langton hurriedly added.
"I see, isn't it fully summoned...... Perhaps this is why you have been able to successfully call. โ
Tigris muttered to himself, as if he understood something.
The summoning of the crown war is actually a ritual performed with the help of the law of the provision of "a certain item", most of the magic is provided by that item, and the summoner only needs to provide a certain amount of magic to conclude the contract.
And Tigris thinks that Langton is likely to use those superfluous magic to successfully carry out the summoning, but it is also because of this that the summoned Heroic Spirit is not a complete Heroic Spirit.
"There are still three days left before the official start of the crown war, so please communicate with your Heroic Spirit and move forward for victory. โ
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and Tigris has also revealed the meaning of sending off the guests.
Although he was eager to keep the talking skeleton in his own laboratory to study it, most of the heroes summoned by the War of the Crowns were heroes from the long history of history, and Tigris was a mere silver-level lich who really didn't dare to go too far.
So, in the end, he only beckoned, and ordered Peter, the living corpse butler, to send the two out of his house.
"I wish you two good luck. โ
