The First Magic World War

The martial techniques that Orc Assassins learn contain many such fierce moves where they leap high and pounce down.

While in mid-air, at the crucial moment between life and death, he sensed danger. With a flip of his body in an utterly impossible situation, he twisted his direction in mid-air. The Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet grazed past his shoulder and shot towards the distance.

Before the brown-haired, gray-eyed assassin could feel relieved, a pain in his waist left him gushing blood.

Charles struck successfully but before he could extend his victory, the brown-haired, gray-eyed assassin suddenly broke free from the Blood Rose's blade, let out a piercing long howl, and fled towards the outer city district with a sudden increase in speed.

Charles connected with the three Agile Cat cubs. The three little ones, being newly born, had fired a shot with all their might and then collapsed from exhaustion, sticking their little tongues out and lying on the wall, no longer able to muster any strength to bring over the Antispace Sniper Rifle. Charles could only regretfully watch the assassin escape.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There are too many spells that can conceal one's presence and ambush from stealth; it's impossible to guess which one it is. But the spells that allow for a sudden increase in speed can only be maintained for a very short time and are commonly used by Orcs, so it must be 'Leopard's Hunt.'"

"This special ability isn't as lasting as the Quickness Technique, but its explosive power is so formidable. If it weren't for the fact that each burst can only last for two or three breaths, I doubt I would have held out for much longer."

In the fight, Charles sharply noticed that after each round of rapid attacks, the brown-haired, gray-eyed assassin would indulge in some scornful remarks. Initially, Charles thought his opponent was of a bad nature, enjoying toying with his prey, but soon realized this was not the case—the assassin simply couldn't sustain a torrential assault.

He seized the moment when his opponent was catching his breath, commanding the three Agile Cat cubs to ambush and vigorously counterattack, and he was indeed just a hair's breadth away from killing his adversary.

As Charles watched the assassin's figure vanish, he inwardly sighed, "What a pity!"

With a few leaps, he found the three Agile Cat cubs lying on the wall; he stored the Antispace Sniper Rifle in his alchemy staff before gathering the little trio into his arms. Smiling, he said, "Thanks to you three, I'll treat you to something tasty."

He first settled the bill at the restaurant they had just been at and left twenty Sheng Ding as compensation for the damages caused by the fight. Then he chose another restaurant. In addition to ordering a meal for himself, he got the tenderest raw beef for the three Agile Cat cubs and asked the kitchen to chop it up and bring it to them.

This restaurant didn't have fruit wine, and the accompanying meal wine was barley beer. Charles took a sip and his brows immediately relaxed—the barley beer here had almost no bitterness, was crisp and bracing, and was very suited for quaffing.

As Charles dined, he watched the Agile Cat cubs happily eating beef and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He hadn't expected that in this battle, the three little things would end up playing such a significant role. If it weren't for that shot fired by the three Agile Cat cubs, they would definitely not have been able to fend off such a formidable assassin.

Although the brown-haired, gray-eyed assassin was also a Mid-Level Transcendent, his strength was far superior compared to the previous assassin and that former warden Magrull Teller.

Charles finished his dinner comfortably, and the three Agile Cat cubs also had their fill, their little bellies round and lying on the dining table mewing noisily.

Charles called over a waiter from the restaurant and said, "Your barley beer is good, I'll take three barrels of it. Have someone send them over later."

He picked up the three cat cubs, left the money for the dinner and the barley beer, and walked back to Elysian Pastoral Street No. 58.

He greeted Madam Nancy, who was waiting on the first floor, "I've bought three barrels of barley beer. When the restaurant's boy brings them over, take two barrels down to the basement and bring the third barrel up to me."

After giving his orders, Charles quickly went up to the third floor, where he set down the three Agile Cat kittens, gave them some water, and let the little ones play by themselves. He then moved to the terrace facing the Lucavaro River, pulled over a lounge chair, and while taking in the views of the opposite bank, he took out the Cat Mask.

This extraordinary object could transform into the likeness of six different creatures and randomly extract one skill from the transformed target, provided there had been prior contact. Wearing it could slightly increase agility and also served as a proof of membership in the Orc Assassin Alliance.

Having encountered that brown-haired, grey-eyed assassin today, Charles became curious to see if the Cat Mask could transform him into the assassin's appearance.

As his fingers gently touched the thin human face on the mask, six different images surfaced one by one, three of which were ordinary people. The skills extracted by the Cat Mask were cooking, driving a carriage, and night patrolling, respectively.

With a slight shift in his consciousness, the image of one of the ordinary people was replaced by that of the brown-haired, grey-eyed assassin, and more than a dozen Flying Dagger Techniques flooded into his mind.

Charles couldn't help but smile slightly. He hadn't expected to draw such a "skill."

The Cat Mask couldn't extract the "Special Abilities" of a target, only "Skills," which was indeed a pity. However, if it had been able to extract the basic Special Abilities of a target, this Strange Object would have been far too powerful.

The Flying Dagger Technique was, of course, not a Special Ability but a skill, purely composed of technique, proficiency, talent, and the profound "sense of the blade."

The brown-haired, grey-eyed assassin must have put in an incredible amount of effort into the Flying Dagger Technique, not just for throwing, but also for wielding the short blades in close-quarters combat. Each move showed extensive refinement, a purely lethal skill.

In terms of intricacy and complexity, the brown-haired, grey-eyed assassin's Flying Dagger Technique was naturally far inferior to the Asiluo Clan's Angel's Thorn.

The Angel's Thorn was not only an Extraordinary Secret Art but also Extraordinary Swordsmanship, famous throughout the Old Continent.

On the Old Continent, there are six or seven versions of Peerless Sword Techniques, including Five Holy Sword Techniques, Seven Divine Sword Techniques, and Twelve Overlord Sword Techniques. Enjoy more content from empire

Each version includes the Asiluo Clan's Angel's Thorn.

Each version also includes the Robin Family's Golden Eagle Sword Technique.

Yes, that's the Robin Family of Saroses Robin, as well as Zimmerman Axel Robin's Robin Family.

Yet, the brown-haired, grey-eyed assassin's Flying Dagger Technique excelled in practicality, aimed at actual combat, assassinations, street fighting, engaging with short weapons, and quick skirmishes, offering extremely sophisticated strategies. It was a prototypical assassin's bladework.

Though Charles didn't have a flying dagger, he did have a Dagger. With the Cat Mask on, he threw the Dagger, and after it traveled a good distance, he summoned it back using Blood Flame Qi, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He wasn't fond of the Dagger taken from the previous assassin. Charles tried multiple times and discovered that although the Blood Flame Qi could manipulate ordinary Extraordinary Weapons, it wasn't as naturally suited as bloodsucking weapons, lacking in flexibility and ease of use. Thus, he hadn't used it in battles, but it was perfectly suitable for practicing the Flying Dagger Technique.

After over an hour of practice, Charles had adeptly become a "master" of the Flying Dagger, with each flashy throw hitting the target precisely.

Once he removed the Cat Mask, the Flying Dagger Technique disappeared. He attempted to continue throwing the Dagger and found that, although his flying dagger skill drastically decreased, it wasn't as terrible as he imagined; the accuracy was higher than expected.
