Chapter 615
At this ti, Luna had returned to Safemoon after completing her mission. Her expression was contemplative after what she had experienced, especially with regard to Gunner's power.
In truth, at that mont, the Moon Elf had been overwheld. If she had been anywhere closer to that blast, she might have lost more than a pound of flesh. She would definitely have been on the verge of death right away.
Luna did not crave apocalyptic power like this, surprisingly. It was not suited to her tastes and the mission her Master had entrusted her. Rather, she wanted a ans to avoid or negate such shows of power from affecting her, so that she would never have to leave the shadows.
She reached the Mage Tower and entered, heading to the fourth floor where Darius was waiting for her while reading a book. When the Moon Elf entered, he smiled at her softly, but Luna couldn't help but feel ashad.
"Master… I have returned."
"Welco back, Luna. Go downstairs and have a al, then rest. We'll talk more later." Darius instructed her in a fatherly tone.
Luna acknowledged and went to do as she said, spotting the Five Apprentices in the yard sparring with each other furiously as they honed their skills. The Moon Elf shook her head watching them.
Her stats greatly surpassed theirs, so to her, as long as she focused slightly, it was no different from watching snails move. She eventually rested and climbed up to et Darius again a few hours later.
When she entered Darius's study, she saw his back facing her, a table set in between the two. On the table were 5 glowing tos, each of them capturing the attention of Luna easily as she felt so sort of desire for them.
Darius, who was gazing out the window to see the core area of his city which was still lively even at this ti, spoke gently.
"Those five skills are for you to learn. Take them."
Luna obeyed and checked the five skillbooks her master had prepared for her to see why they touched her so deeply.

Luna looked through them and felt her heart quake. A part of what she ant to do by coming back so soon was to explain her shortcomings to Darius and ask if he had a solution for her. However, without even hearing a word from her, he had already gone above and beyond.
Spatial Mask was perfect, because it supplented her Void Walking skill. That skill allowed her to hide in her own personal void, which removed her from this realm, allowing her to walk through objects and generally acted as a great form of infiltration.
However, its flaw was that Luna needed an anchor point in the main dinsion lest she locked herself up in her dinsion with no way to co out. This anchor point should have been a round portal, but with training, she managed to turn it into an ethereal form of herself.
But this ethereal form was still visible to the eyes, though it had no sound, no sll, or touch. That was why Luna had been forced to cling to the ceiling upon her visit to that underground society.
Had she had Spatial Mask at the ti, the Moon Elf could have simply waltzed through them brazenly, none able to see her ethereal form using the five senses or even sense it if they were spatially inclined.
Luna's danger level had just gone up in a horrifying way, and the skill was only level 1!
Shadow Stalk was a more common assassin-based skill, and it was more for Luna to fill up her database and have sothing on hand since Void Walking required so much mana.
It would serve her well in Dungeons and the like.
Soul Reading was a cruel skill belonging to Pan's cultivators. Apparently, it was used to read the souls of the victims, extracting mories based on the ntal strength of the user vs the ntal strength of the target.
Darius had no doubts this spell was often used there, and he was glad he did not start off on such a cruel continent.
As for the Extre Killing Techniques, they were not native to Faust. Darius had actually checked the system shop for the best assassin techniques, and this had appeared at the top spot.
However, its price had been more than 20 million True Coins, leaving Darius speechless. However, at that mont, he had received a startling ssage from the system.
[Alert! Alert! A Certain Supre Being has noticed you! They are currently reading your system history as they have the sa access as the Goddess!]
[Alert! Alter! The Supre being is now taking ove-…]
["Hm, what an annoying thing. Anyway, nice to et you, Mr. Stone. I see you are currently second in line to beco Little Vena's next general, and I would certainly like to help. I've paid the cost for the Extre Killing techniques and a few other ones that belong to my counterpart. If you have any assassins or swordsn in your party, make sure to give it to them! Goodbye!"]
[….]
[System rebooting! Checking for any hidden viruses… none!]
[Checking for any remnant damage… none!]
[You have received a 100% discount coupon from The Celestial Goddess for the following items: Extre Killing Techniques, Paragon Sword Skill, Peerless Sword Skills…etc. Please redeem them at your leisure!]
And that was how he had acquired this powerful technique. Luna looked at it with interest, but once she learned it, she would co to know just why it was priced so ridiculously, even more expensive than buying scales of the Dragon Ancestor.
As for the last skill, it was a skill to help her Void Walking. Empty Aura could perform the sa function as Void Walking and Spatial Mark put together, only that it had a downside.
Unlike the personal dinsion of Void Walking that was for Luna to control, Empty Aura sent her into purgatory, and that place was a behemothic place full of unknown dangers.
Hiding in there was like being in a field of flesh-eating ants, but placing your head in a pool of water to watch the fish within. Even if the ants couldn't get to your head, they could certainly devour your body.
It was an alternative that she would have to carefully consider before using.
Receiving the books, Luna learned them on the spot and patiently waited for her master's next command patiently.
"Right now, having you assassinate targets is of no use given Gunner's raw power and the actions of Miranda. As such, I want you to serve as my personal agent. I have sent a list of coordinates to your World Map."
Luna checked her system to see the map and the places she needed to go to while Darius continued.
"Those locations are places where Collectibles are kept, as well as so things that can allow to amass True Coins. Go and train your new set of skills for a month before you set out. You have a total of 6 months to clear them all out."
Luna nodded and left Darius' study with a sharp glance. Now that her arsenal had been refreshed, and her task updated, she felt a renewed sense of purpose.
Where she had co back in dejection, she was now leaving with resolve.
No matter what she encountered, she would prove her worth to her master and creator!
Darius watched Luna go with a strange smile.. "This child is quite devoted, but it is a bit too straightforward… sigh."
