Chapter 34: Gone Astray

After only a short period of gray vision, Varina felt a tingling in her eyebrows, and her heart was quickly filled with the urge to vent and destroy.

Startled, he waved his hand out of this field of vision, and immediately tried to meditate.

As reminded of Neil's teaching to Klein in the original book, Varina knew very well that this feeling was actually caused by the fact that he had just completed his promotion and was not able to control the power of the potion well, causing it to overflow slightly.

This is at risk of getting out of control, and you can't be careless!

According to Qili's statement before leaving, Varina began his first meditation.

He retracted his attention, sketching out his walnut-encrusted cane in his mind, thinking about the sensation of rubbing it, thinking about its specific shape.

He kept repeating, and he kept outlining.

Then, something strange happened.

Varina had been imagining his cane, but in the end, what had taken shape in his mind was a dagger, a long-bladed dagger that was nearly half as short as a cane and almost half a meter long, and it was so realistic that even the patterns on the blade were very clear.

Fortunately, this did not affect the effect of the first step of meditation.

As her attention shifted to the long-bladed dagger in her mind, Varina felt her state improve considerably.

Then, while the iron was hot, he began to engage in real meditation.

To get started, you need to replace the concrete things in your mind with things that don't exist in the world and are imaginary out of thin air.

Varina hesitated, not knowing what to replace for a while.

Maybe like Klein, with layers of balls of light? But wouldn't that be too uncreative?

After thinking about it for a moment, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind, and Varina was overjoyed.

He had in mind a dynamic diagram, a dynamic diagram that demonstrated the structure of a hypercube.

This thing can't exist in reality, that's it!

He tried to recall the dynamic image.

Varina thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, he did it with relative ease, and he successfully completed the substitution of the embodied object, and his mind gradually became empty.

He felt his body and mind calm down, and his vision seemed to rise infinitely, until a quiet void with a slight crack appeared in front of him.

Seeing the void, Varina felt as if she had been sublimated in some way.

Then, as soon as he was excited, he immediately withdrew from such a mysterious state, and looked around, it was still the humble rental house.

Fortunately, the first meditation was still successful, and Varina no longer had the agitation of destruction.

Then he went out again and came to the alley near his lodgings.

He's going to test his abilities.

The first is "light body feather fall".

With the help of a powerful body that had been double-amplified and improved, Varina made a single exertion and easily and skillfully jumped onto a courtyard wall of more than two meters.

At the head of the wall, Varina jumped with all his might, this time jumping out of a height of more than three meters, plus the height of the courtyard wall of more than two meters, he was already close to six meters above the ground, which was enough to test the "light body feather fall".

The whirring wind sounded in his ears, and Varina's body quickly descended to the ground at an astonishing speed. If he lands like this, even if his body is very strong now, I'm afraid he will still be injured.

At this moment, Varina's mind moved, and the weight of his body suddenly seemed to disappear, and the whole person was like a feather, silently falling to the ground, without even causing a trace of vibration on the ground.

This is the light body stunt of the "assassin", and you can land safely without a haystack.

This is followed by the "dexterous step".

Varina returned to the narrow alley of debris, and suddenly a lunge sprang out, and in the blink of an eye it was all the way through.

Among them, the speed is not excessive, and the most outrageous thing is that he did not touch any debris at all, and did not make a sound.

Obviously, this is also one of the stunts that the "assassins" rely on to survive.

Then there's "Charged Critical Hit".

The "Assassin" potion gives the Extraordinary the ability to burst all its power into a single hit, and in order to distinguish it from the "Hunter's" "Weak Point Attack", Varina decided to name it "Charged Critical Hit".

He found an Indis sycamore about the thickness of his thigh on the street outside the alley, pulled out the dagger tied to the outside of his left arm, and with one force, he actually plunged the entire dagger blade into the trunk of the tree.

I'm afraid that even most of the metal armor can't stop such an attack!

Without a doubt, this is the strongest killer weapon of the "Assassin".

In addition, Varina found that after becoming an "Assassin", his original transcendent qualities were not overwritten and disappeared, but were enhanced to a certain extent.

What's even more bizarre is that he also has the same paradoxical ability as the "Assassin" potion.

The first is "dark vision".

His previous ability to see in the dark was a bit like a state spell, and as soon as his mind moved, the world instantly became clear, as if it was suddenly dawning.

The dark vision provided by the "Assassin" potion is not like this, it is more like obtaining owl-like eyes, and while the vision has been greatly enhanced, the pupil's ability to adjust the amount of light entering has also been greatly improved, which is the dark vision of the "Assassin".

These two are clearly not one ability.

This is followed by "Hiding in the Shadows".

His previous action of hiding in the shadows was crouching, mainly by greatly reducing his sense of presence, making himself seem to disappear into the shadows.

The "Assassin" potion provides a different ability, it is more like using the shadow as a cloak to hide one's body, and the effect of this hiding method has nothing to do with posture and movement.

These two are still not one ability.

There is also "body coordination".

His previous ability to coordinate his body was more like a physical improvement, which really improved his basic quality in an all-round way, which allowed him to make almost silent reflexive jumps on the wall without training, which is body coordination in the ordinary sense.

The effect of the "Assassin" potion is quite different, although it also improves the base quality to a certain extent, but the extra dexterity and lightness, including the charged critical hit, is more of an extraordinary power technique.

The two are still not one ability.

The more Varina tested, the more he felt that something was wrong, shocked and suspicious—was he really half an "assassin" before?

If these abilities have puzzled him enough, then the next new ability is a complete lore.

After being promoted, Varina also got a weird new ability -

In the state of gray vision, he can establish an extraordinary connection between people and things, so as to weaken people's sense of thought, and make people become dull and wooden, as if they are distracted.

This is not what the Assassin potion can provide, not even the Instigator can!

"What the hell is going on?"

"These abilities have nothing to do with the 'Assassin' path at all!"

"And one more crucial point – how did I not lose control?"

"Is it ......?"

It was like a flash of lightning, and Varina's eyes suddenly flashed.

"There's only one possibility, and that's - I'm not half an Assassin before I drank the potion! ”

Flavors rose from Varina's heart in an instant.

"And this means that I chose the wrong path!"
