Blacksmith Assassin Workshop
A couple of hours after Zeke’s departure is announced, the hero decided to prepare his things. He placed these in his inventory and made as many things in the forge as needed. After all, he’s not sure that he can use a forge on another kingdom and, even if he could, there is a great chance that he will be stopped. There is also the chance that the forge isn’t as good as the one that Heimdal does which is actually the greatest chance of being the case since, it is agreed within the whole of the kingdom that Heimdal’s forge is the second best. Only being beaten by the king’s forge.Then there is the third problem which is that, there can be those that would scout him while he goes on the forge. Not only this but it will also reveal his secondary job class. A trait that he wants to keep a secret as much as he could. The less of his hand that he shows, the greater his chances of winning after all. So he’s going to keep these things to himself until he gets strong enough to not care about
Blacksmith Assassin Things Learned
Even before Zeke arrived in the training grounds, he can already hear the sound of metal clashing against metal. The loud sharpness of every swing that’s being made is only stopped by the collision made on other weaponry or armor. This means that the ones inside this place are training as if they are really fighting in the battlefield – the very instruction that Zeke gave to Sylvia.“I’m surprised they actually agreed to something like this.” Zeke began as he walked towards the entrance alongside Sylvia.“These are trained soldiers my lord. Even if they are only training and, even though you made them fight with real weapons, they are skilled enough to be able to control themselves before actually landing a finishing blow.” Sylvia said. “You seem to have a lot of pride in that don’t you?” Zeke added.“Of course my lord.” Sylvia replied with the same tone.Zeke can’t blame her for this. After all, these are the dark elves that are assigned to come with him to the Elven Kingdom. This m
Blacksmith Assassin Letting the Hero Pass
Sylvia looked at Zeke for a couple of seconds. She didn’t move a single bit because of the statement that Zeke just made. The very fact that the hero of Forge has brought out his ego daggers means that Zeke truly means business and, what this implies is that Sylvia now has to talk some sense into the hero. After all, she doesn’t support this idea. Not in the slightest bit.“My lord, I don’t mean to sound like I don’t trust your skill but…”“Saying those very lines is a good indicator of that same thought though.” Zeke said in reply, cutting the dark elf from her trailing tone of voice even before she could finish.“You don’t think I can face them head on?” The hero added.The question that’s imposed isn’t meant to pressure Sylvia. Nor is this meant to humiliate her. Zeke merely asked this because he wants to know the reason behind Sylvia’s lack of confidence that he would be able to win against the three dark elves who are having a battle royal. An intent that that got through to Sylv
Blacksmith Assassin The Challenge
Zeke went and dived head first in the middle of the group. He didn’t even bother saying hello or making proper introductions. No. Zeke doesn’t think that all these formalities are that necessary when he can start things off with this much of a bang. Showing himself as he created a thick field of smoke. This immediately stopped all of the fighting that’s going on. The very purpose as to why Zeke made the field of smoke. He isn’t just doing this to show off or to make any sort of grand entrance. No. He wants to stop the fighting right away so that they can move on to the matter at hand. The thing that he wants to happen which will only start once he explains things to the three dark elves.“I think I’ve seen enough for today.” Zeke said as he made the field of smoke vanish. Unsing an item that is connected to the same one that created the effect. The black mist like smoke vanished in mere seconds. Revealing him to the three dark elves.“My lord!” This is the immediate response of the t
Blacksmith Assassin Rules of the Battle
There are a couple of problems that Zeke needs to deal with. The first is his problem with range. As an assassin who wields dual daggers, this means that he doesn’t have much in this department. He needs to get close in order to land a hit on his opponents which, is close to impossible.The two female dark elves use bows as their primary weapons and, these same bows have blades at their tips. Making it possible for the said weapons to be used at close range if Zeke does close the gap between them. If this isn’t enough, the female elves also have their daggers to work with. Weapons which, though similar to Zeke’s, would still pose more problem for the hero because of how there would be two enemies waiting for him. There’s also a possibility for Zeke to get caught in a kind of attack from the other archer while he engages one of the two. This has a great possibility of leaving him with a large enough wound that he’d be set to lose because, there’s a third opponent that hasn’t even fit
Blacksmith Assassin The Winner
The one that came forward to face Zeke in the beginning of all this is none other than Caster. The male dark elf that makes use of a halberd as his weapon. The posture of this fighter and, the way he holds his weapon makes it easy for Zeke to see that this is not an ordinary opponent. Not in the slightest bit. He knows that Caster will give him some trouble in the one on one but, not on a level where he won’t be able to fight back.“So, you’re the one that’s going first huh.” Zeke said as he also stood on his part of the battlefield.The other dark elves on standby are placed below the fighting grounds. This makes it so that they do not interrupt the flow of battle. This is also optimal because, they can choose where they’d position themselves to enter into the fight when their time arrives.“It’s an honor to be challenged by you my lord!” Caster bowed his head. This entertained Zeke a bit as the hero has a smile growing on his lips before letting out a soft chuckle. “Don’t talk like
Blacksmith Assassin The Loser
Right before Zeke’s victory, these are the events that happened within the black smoke that he released. He made his way towards Caster. Intending to take down the dark elf with one shot. But, unlike what he imagined, the said dark elf isn’t that easy to beat. Not in the slightest bit.As he went for the stab, the head of the dark elf tilted towards him. This made Zeke wary all of a sudden. Forcing him to change the point where he is to attack and, as soon as this hesitation jumped in, Caster is able to close the gap between them as well. The dark elf forced his eyes to open even in that painful black smoke.Even with just a tiny opening in his eyes, Caster is able to launch a powerful forward thrust. Going straight towards Zeke which would’ve been lethal as well. That is, if not for the fact that the accuracy of the dark elf is greatly decreased. With the eyes of this dark elf not being fully opened, he isn’t able to strike with utmost proficiency and, Zeke used this to launch his bo
Blacksmith Assassin Methods and Means
Zeke lost.After five minutes passed, Zeke is unable to take down the two opponents that are pitted against him. Though he didn’t find any difficulty taking down Caster when he fought the dark elf one on one, now that there is a ranged attacker adding to the mix, this changes altogether.Zeke is hit early on and, the momentum of his enemies only continued increasing after that point. Even though Zeke has yet to show all of his cards in that fight, it is still not enough for him to gain the upper hand. Everything he tried after Aries stepped in is negated. All of his effort is wasted and, he is left in a pitiful state where his shoulder and leg have been wounded to the point that, he easily became prey to the two dark elves.There are other tricks that he wanted to use but, Zeke decided not to let these out just yet. After all, some of the materials in his arsenal cannot be duplicated that easily. The very same reason why he’s only relying on the smoke bombs in that fight. These are, a
