The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 52: Shadow Executor, Kanza.

[Kanza POV]

"All of you, save the people of the City, I will face them alone."

The sentence appeared suddenly - arriving from Mr. Dirvaren who led us. Ever since hearing the story informed by Yarth. His facial expression had completely changed, like he had become something else.

Immediately I nodded at him indicating that I understood, there was not the slightest bit of courage to resist. Then I separated myself from this group first. Plunge into a shadow - the shadow of the building quickly.

My movements when in the shadows were very strange, I admit it. That is, after the plunge, my entire eye view turned black and white. Only the aura and mana of a person is clearly visible in this mode.

My movements also became freer, I could easily break through walls and move quickly between buildings. As long as there is a shadow around me, I can move as I please quickly.

This was the [Shadow Step] Skill of the Special Job [Shadow Executor]. From the beginning I got this Job, the [Shadow Step] Skill was already usable. But the level of this skill itself was still weak at that time, My wiggle room was limited, not as free as it is now.

[Shadow Step] is a multipurpose skill, it can be used along with the entire [Shadow Executor] Skill. If people who use this Job are reliable and professional, this Job will be one of the most frightening Jobs in terms of Execution.

Of course, everything in the world has its own weaknesses. One of them is, [Shadow Step] can be interrupted by people with a very high perception of mana. An example is Mr. Dirvaren, he is very abnormal, even in this World which is the reality. He was still able to sense Mana in an incredible way.

I myself cannot feel mana normally. I could only sense mana when in a certain mode, and also his Scope was limited to just a few tens of meters.

I ran in the shadows quickly, or so to speak, everything around me felt slow. This view is unique no matter how many times I see it.

"T-please!"

"T-please!"

The voice of a woman asking for help desperately entered my hearing. Based on the origin of the sound, he should be on a small, desolate, and dead-end road ahead of there.

Swosshh!

I moved at full speed, to approach the origin of the voice of the Woman. It only took a few seconds before the woman entered my sight. The woman desperately asked for help, some weak Undead looked like they were about to pounce on her.

'Only weak undead, I will not let you kill a woman!'

Setting up my two daggers at a speed that could not be seen by the sight of the eye, I came out from behind the shadow of the Undead and instantly slashed at the Undead.

The shing! The shing!

It only took two ordinary slashes from my Splint, those Undead were cut to perfection.

A weak undead like this should be able to be defeated by an ordinary farmer right? Oh, I forgot something....

Haasha.... Get started!

"My name is Kanza, I'm a great Assassin, but all my powers are useless before him. Forgive my delay, Miss."

Gotchas! I managed to say this, according to what my Master said. Words like this can add a mysterious impression to an Assassin like me.

Now it's time to go, I still have to save the others.

"Alright, it's safe around here. Miss, you better hide... See you around." See ya."

Uh, I can't bear to leave him alone. But what can I do, right? let's just slay it - the depletion of those weak Undead. It seems like I can also use this to practice controlling [Shadow Executor] better.

I went back to using the [Shadow Step] to surround the entire City. The job of exterminating Undead - This weak Undead is perfect for me who trains in speed.

One, Two, Three and So on, I saved the people the Undead were about to attack. Of course I said the thing my Master suggested when I did it, only, I said it while moving quickly.

That shouldn't matter, right?

"Mom-Mom! T-Help me..!"

A Little Child? unable to be left, they could not even escape if there were Undead attacking.

"Hey son, are you looking for your mother?"

I approached him and asked the boy. His expression was so shocked, seeing me arriving - coming out from within the shadows. For a moment, he looked at me carefully, but a moment later..

"Uwahhhhhh! T-help me! Mama!"

She was crying louder than ever.

Damn, this cry will invite the Undead to come here.

'I'm sorry about this, son!'

With a heavy heart, I crippled the child using one of the paralysis techniques of the [Shadow Exexutor]. After I did so, he quickly lost consciousness. I directly propped up his body and brought him into the [Shadow Step].

This slightly violated the Principle of an Assassin who should not divulge his techniques on others. Moreover, I brought him into this [Shadow Step].

'But, he's unconscious.'

Moving at full speed again, I look for figures of Soldiers or Priests who are helping people. On sight, this child seems to be an ordinary resident, a bad decision if I hand it over to the Priests who are in the area where the Nobles are.

Therefore, I will look for a place where the Priests are willing to treat ordinary Residents without any reward.

I found them, they were a group of Female Priests who were voluntarily treating and helping people. According to my Assassin Institutions, they look good and trustworthy.

Huft!

I jumped from the shadow directly in front of the Priests. Of course they were all shocked at my arrival and jumped back.

"I brought a child, I hope you take good care of him."

I placed the Little Child I carried on a Mat they had prepared. Then, I prepared to go back, but one of them stopped my steps and asked..

"Who are you? are you a bad guy..?"

A familiar question, and again this question is quite stupid.

"Which evil person Rela brought such a shabby and disheveled Little Child to be saved?"

I confidently replied to the Priest Woman who was already quite old.

He seemed to think for a moment and then nodded at me...

"All right, we trust you."

Ha's? I don't need your trust for now. After all, if you become my enemy, I will finish you off in an instant..

"Whatever it is, I'll be per-"

Dururu!

An Explosion followed the great tremor that shook the earth stopped my steps and words. It's the second time I've felt the same vibe like this. First was when I parted ways with Mr. Dirvaren, a great vibration smaller than this felt. For the first time, I made sure it was caused by Mr. Dirvaren himself.

As for the current one, I don't know for sure who did. But, I believe that all this is still the work of Mr. Dirvaren.

Based on the direction of the big explosion...... It comes from the Mountain in the Loudeas Forest right?

A few moments later....

After the Vibration stopped completely, I again proceeded to eradicate the remaining Undead - Undead. If those Undead are depleted, then I will help the injured people.

While I finish off the weak Undead, let me reminisce about my past...

My name is Kanza Longracia, a man from the European Continent on earth. I purposely used my real Name even in COTHENIC Games.

The reason why I chose the Elf Race is because they are a Race that has a good face. COTHENIC itself takes the original face in the Real World to suit the Race we choose. That's why, my current face is similar to the face I used to be on Earth.

I thought, The race with the best face was the Angel Race and the Elves, but now I believe that it is not true. Why would I say that? after I saw Mr. Dirvaren... Ahem, a little more handsome than me. I realized, it's not the Race that exists, but our appearance in the Real World is what is used as a benchmark.

But, isn't the Blood Devil Race too powerful? I regret not choosing this race first.

Forget it, let's talk about this Elf Race that I chose.

By the time I was planning on playing the COTHENIC Game, I read the guidebook for beginners first.

From childhood, I had always yearned to become an Assassin, they were a mysterious and also so deadly group of people.

For this reason, when I read the guidebook, there was the Job Assassin that I longed for. And also, it was a coincidence that the Elves were one of the recommended Races for this Job Assassin.

The Elf Race, based on the initial statistics, their Mana was the second largest among the others. The first one is the Angel Race, yet they are said to be no match for the Job Assassin as I wish.

The Assassin himself relied heavily on mana usage. Although when compared to the Witch (Magus) they are superior in terms of mana use.

Without a second thought, I chose the Elf Race with Job as an Assassin. I diligently from time to time practiced all sorts of Assassins. In fact, the principle of an Assassin that I read from several sources I applied in my life.

It only took me two years to become someone who entered the Top 10 of the Job Assassin Leaderboard. Remember, this is not the whole, but only the Leaderboad Job Assassin.

When I reached the Second Rank, I was so confident in my abilities as an Assassin. Without further ado, I challenged the First Ranker to a Duel.

And what was the outcome? I was defeated by Total.

He who defeated me was so great at using all sorts of skills from his Job Assassin. After suffering a crushing defeat, I realized how weak I was. Then, I decided to contact him who had defeated me.

I managed to contact him, and directly asked him to teach me to become a true Assassin. Luckily, he agreed to it and started teaching me for an entire year.

After a full year I received the teachings from him. I got this Special Job [Shadow Executor]. Then I boast of this Special Job to her. He just smiled and said 'Good, you are indeed talented..'

Then it did not feel since then that I became a person who occupied the First Rank.

The reason why I can be the first is because.. He who is my Master has stopped playing. It's a pity, even though he is a kindhearted person and also great.

But, sometimes he can get cold and creepy when angry.... Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Now, let's talk about the past, when I first learned Mr. Dirvaren.

R.Styx, I first came to know this Name when I decided to become the best Assassin in the entire COTHENIC. I accidentally saw the Leaderboard (Overall) and saw its name shining red.

A shining name, only he had something like that. Then I was so interested in the person who had reached this peak. I'm looking for things about him, like where he lives in COTHENIC.

However, as a result I only found a few Records when he conquered several Dungeons or Bosses with great difficulty. He was a man who chose the Blood Devil Race. The most unpopular race in COTHENIC because of all the stats was originally so Low.

Not to mention, this Race had the conditions to Level up so Complicated and Difficult. Not worth the sacrifice of time required.

When this R.Styx appeared, he always wore a disguise that was so difficult to dismantle. There were even some opinions that said that his face was ugly.

Well, let's put that aside....

I don't know if Mr. Dirvaren, who is none other than R.Styx, remembers him or not... But, he had arrived - suddenly invited me to join his Party.

I was confused at that time, The Legend of R.Styx suddenly invited me. Then, I received an invitation from him, he sent me a Message and said...

A Shadow Executor? a rare job. Perhaps, you will become a great person in the future, how about coming with me to explore a Dungeon?

Feeling this was a very rare moment that a person known as a Legendary soloist invited someone. I quickly accepted his offer and explored a Dungeon with him.

I still remember, some of the rare items we got almost all of them he handed me. Whether he didn't need it or he purposely gave all those items to me, I don't know. When I asked, he just answered....

All of these items are perfect for a Shadow Executor like you. I was also interested in being an Assassin, but I was not talented as an Assassin. That's why, I want an Assassin like you to enter the Top 10 Leaderboard overall.

He simply sent the message and left the Party, leaving me still confused over the message he sent. Yes, he sent a message, although we can speak directly, he instead chose a troublesome message.

A moment after that, I looked at the entire Leaderboard and realized, what he said was indeed true. No Assassin has entered the Top 10 there.

'Haahh... I have not been able to meet his expectations, with suddenly I moved to this world.'

Well, that's why I asked Mr. Dirvaren to make me his follower.

"Hmm...? This, Eve the Existence of Mr. Dirvaren, seems to have returned."

I ended my thinking about the past and immediately moved on using the [Shadow Step] to get to where Mr. Dirvaren was...

..........

*Author Note :

I purposely created this chapter specifically for Kanza. Because in the future, he will become a character that is quite important.

Therefore, if it is boring, I beg you to hold it a little. Because in the future it might also appear something like this.

Consider this a bonus for people who (maybe) like the same character Kanza this*.:).
