Chapter 841: Chapter 311: Comndation and Reunion (Two-in-One Chapter)_2
He genuinely liked the young, humble, yet powerful subordinate before him.
“Rein, rest assured. Regarding your situation, I’ve already written to Cardinal Osborn of the Goddess Church in the Imperial City. He is an old friend of mine. Even if the situation worsens, I believe he will have a solution.”
“By the way, how is your body after the last battle?”
“It’s not a big problem, sir. Is there a rather tricky mission?” Rein is quite grateful to Admiral Edward.
“Not at the mont, but I have a bad premonition. Perhaps, you will be assigned a task soon.” Admiral Edward furrowed his brow and said.
“During the last ergency eting, I ntioned the headquarters’ requirents. First, we need to inspect and protect all the Sealing Gates within the province, and second, to cleanse the cult.”
“These two tasks must be done separately, but we lack manpower in the branch. So, after discussion, our initial plan is to combine the two tasks and operate them in assigned zones.”
“Considering the limited number of Diamond Star Swordn, the plan is to allocate one Diamond Star team, two to three Gold Level teams, and multiple Silver Level teams to handle the above two tasks for every two County Towns.”
“Regular searching and combat tasks within the assigned areas will be handled by these Silver or Gold Level teams. However, if they are unable to handle it, you will need to intervene.”
“Regarding the choice of County Towns, Rein, do you have any preferences?” Admiral Edward asked proactively.
Rein naturally knew that Admiral Edward was giving him favorable treatnt, as he already knew Rein was from ister.
With this in mind, Rein thought for a mont and decided not to decline.
After all, Cleya was still there, and Vinica was in Fishing Port Town.
“Sir, then ister and Rosby County, what do you think?” Rein smiled and said.
“Of course, though the pressure from the Sea Clan over there is not light. Although the Imperial Navy is dealing with it on the front lines, unexpected situations are also very likely to occur.”
Admiral Edward reminded.
“Thank you for reminding , sir, I will be careful.” Rein nodded and said.
…
Back at his residence, Rein continued to have Viery and Angus practice with him using daggers.
In the center of the training room, Rein instantaneously flashed into two different phantom stances: one jumping down and stabbing and the other turning and stabbing left, both attacking Viery.
Although these phantoms were just illusions and would soon disappear, unlike the witchcraft ‘Phantom Art,’ which is so kind of energy conglorate, they still served to confuse the enemy in battle.
In fights between experts, often a mont of hesitation can determine victory or defeat.
The illusion caused Viery a brief mont of hesitation, and Rein’s dagger stab grazed by his left ear’s hair tip.
Instantly, a small tuft of hair was cut off!
And on the side, Angus was similarly grazed on his forehead’s hair tip by another dagger from Rein.
Both were defeated simultaneously.
…
“Captain, was that… a secret technique?” Angus’s eyes widened in disbelief.
These days, Rein had been practicing daggers with them consistently.
Initially, they thought their captain was simply acting on a whim to practice daggers.
But after two days, they, as training partners, understood all too well how exaggerated their captain’s progress was.
From one-on-one to later one against two!
This is no re whim!
In a few days, it’s like achieving what others take years to do!
Rein nodded and said, “Yes, it was a sudden epiphany. It’s the secret technique of my practice, ‘Barrack’s Assassination Dance Steps’—Shadow Step.”
As he spoke, Rein glanced at the system prompt, feeling quite delighted.
The system notification read:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the basic secret technique of Barrack’s Assassination Dance Steps: Shadow Step!]
…
“Shadow Step! Another secret technique mastered!”
“Only two remaining Extraordinary Battle Technique secret techniques of different weapon categories, and once accomplished, I’ll et the requirents for job transition.”
At the sa ti, Rein noticed a brand-new icon appear directly above ‘Barrack’s Assassination Dance Steps’ on his Weapon Master (Legendary) panel.
The icon depicted three slender n holding daggers in different attacking postures.
Upon closer inspection, you’d notice that the figures on the sides appeared slightly blurry, suggesting they were illusions, while the one in the middle was a real person.
At the bottom left, the secret technique’s description read:
Shadow Step (Basic Secret Technique) Effect: Utilizes a special footwork combining Original Force with leg power to leave two additional illusions within a three-ter radius around oneself to confuse enemies.
(To upgrade Shadow Step to Interdiate Secret Technique, the following conditions must be t: 1. Barrack’s Assassination Dance Steps above lv14 (Proficiency can offset part of the level requirent); 2. Fire Dragon Breathing Technique above lv12; 3. Strength 30, Agility 38, Constitution 34 or more; 4. Consus 1 Golden Skill Point.)
Rein had not expected to have such an exaggerated understanding of the Extraordinary Battle Technique so quickly, supported by ‘Advanced Extraordinary Comprehension.’
Of course, ‘Interdiate Weapon Mastery’ and that last crucial Skill Point also played a significant role, shortening the ti needed to reach those difficult last two levels.
