last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Mascarino, one of the Professors of Assassination within the Shadowcraft Academy. Naturally, since he was able to become a professor in this academy, his skill must be way above the average. And it was a fact that he was a seasoned assassin. One could sense his confidence from the way he carried himself; unwavering faith in his skill.

His background was no joke either. Unlike most members in the syndicate who came from slums and sewage, Mascarino was born into a family of skilled assassins. From a young age, he was trained in the deadly arts. He honed his skills through years of practice and missions, becoming one of the most renowned assassins in the underworld.

Malachi could understand Mascarino’s power at a glance. In his current body, it was impossible to defeat him unless he had time to prepare.

“Do I get time to prepare?” Malachi asked.

“No. You and me. Right now.” Mascarino rolled up his sleeves and massaged his arms.

Without further warning, Mascarino suddenly blinked out of e

    Malachi was allowed to return to his room, and so he did. He wouldn't be able to learn anything new from the class anyway. The professor's skills and abilities were basic for him. Mascarino was far stronger than Malachi; if it wasn't for that, Malachi wouldn't have struggled so much. But, if he really wanted to defeat the professor, he could. He just did not want to reveal all of his abilities yet.In the bout earlier, he didn't even use all of his skills yet. His intention from the start was to impress the professor to grant him special privileges and to prevent the other students from shouting out complaints.The only way to do that was to show his capabilities to them all. His fight against the professor was merely a show for them to approve of this privileged access. No one would complain about it; in fact, they would nod and admit that Malachi deserved this privilege.In a day, he managed to earn the respect of his peers, impressed the professor, and earned a privilege within the

    The sun came into view, illuminating the trees and plants that had waited for it all through the night. Malachi was meditating while perched on a rock when the grass swung in the wind and ruffled his hair.His lungs threatened to drag the adjacent grass into his nose as he inhaled deeply. The grass in front of him was flattened as he let it out through his mouth, creating a tremendous wind."My strength has increased," Malachi spoke. The reason he wasn't fond of physical activity was that it was more efficient to increase his physical prowess through meditation. Sure, there were times when he needed physical activity to break through his limits, but it wasn't necessary to do it every day. Using his mind, soul, and dark magic, he was able to break every organ in his body and repair them simultaneously, making his body more resilient.Dark magic was a potent source of energy capable of offensive or defensive purposes, but it could also be used for healing and much more, such as trapping

    "How do you plan on obtaining a Death Guard? If you want to create a powerful undead, you will need a very good corpse. A corpse of a powerful figure, perhaps?""That's exactly what I need. Luckily, I know someone who knows the location of this corpse. It was the corpse of an Ancient King of the past, said to be the most powerful warrior of all. With his full might, he could be said to cleave a small hill into two. His strength dwarfed even the strongest warrior today.""Was he your Death Guard in your past life?""No. Someone found him and used him to fight against me. I barely managed to destroy him even with my full strength.""What is the name of this Ancient King?""I don't know. His existence was a secret until he was summoned to fight against me.""Okay, so what is your next step?""I will have to get out of here and find the person that knows about this information.""Who is it?""It's a student in a quite renowned academy."...Astralis Arcanum Academy was a gigantic academy

    Malachi was walking through the mission hall. There were a lot of people here, most of them assassins, though he did see some spell casters and warriors. This was the Assassin Academy, after all, so most people here were assassins. The syndicate had many branches specialized in different fields.Malachi wondered if he should have created an academy system in the past. Would that increase his overall strength? He shook his head a second later. People could not be controlled as easily as controlling undead. He knew his undead were loyal, but no one could guess the human heart. One moment they might be a friend, the next moment they bit your hand.“What’s a kid doing here?”A comment by a random passerby pulled him out of his thoughts. The people here were much older than him. In fact, all of them were graduates. All of them already finished their study and had become a formal members of the syndicate. They still had to come to the academy to take missions though.Soon after, Malachi arr

    Astralis Arcanum was the most powerful academy within the Divine Empire of Iaionia, and its influence spread far and wide within the empire. The Academy was a national asset, producing many valuable talents for the Empire.Malachi did not know much about this Academy because, in his past life, it was already destroyed by the time he gained strength. How such a powerful academy like Astralis Arcanum could be wiped out in a single night remained a mystery to him.“Even with my memories from my past life, there are still questions I cannot answer.”Nevertheless, regardless of his desire for answers, his ambition to become the strongest remained of utmost importance.His gaze returned to the map. “Checking all the buildings one by one will take too much time. I have to do something.”The blue, cloudy skies gradually turned dark as nighttime descended. The moon rose high in the sky.Malachi, cloaked in dark attire, swiftly moved above the rooftops, leaping and traversing from one rooftop t

    Malachi let out a sigh as another arcane bolt came flying towards him. He tilted his body to the side, making the bolt missed its mark.On the tower, Stork frowned as he kept missing his shot. He activated his Eagle’s Vision, making his vision keener and capable of spotting distant targets with exceptional clarity.His hand grabbed an arcane bolt from his Aetherial Quiver, enchanted to hold a vast supply of arcane bolts, ensuring he was always ready for distant kill.With swift motion, he released another bolt towards Malachi. Once again, Malachi moved his body right at the last second, but Stork already anticipated that.With his ability ‘Wind Whisper’ Stork manipulated wind currents to adjust the trajectory of his arcane bolt, ensuring it reach its mark.The bolt changed direction, and went towards Malachi’s chest. “I got him!” Stork announced, but he was soon disappointed as the bolt went through Malachi like he wasn’t there in the first place. Then Malachi vanished, revealing tha

    While Mary and Alyssa were talking, they did not realize that Malachi was inside the ceiling, listening to their conversation.He heard them talking about bones and how it manage to turn non-living objects into hideous creatures. The talk went on for hours until the both of them decided to leave.“This is my chance. Seraphina, keep a lookout for me.”“Humph! Didn’t you say that you work better when alone.”Malachi ignored her and tried to cut the ceiling only to find out that it was made from a powerful material. ‘I can’t get cut it. I need to enter from the entrance.’He slipped out and landed in the hallway, only a few meters away from the door. His feet was silent. They didn’t make any sound even when he jumped from 5 meters.His movement was so discreet that the 5 thieves that tried to pick the door did not notice him. All of them wore dark attires that covered their entire body except their eyes.One of them who seemed to be the leader said: “All of you owe me a lot of money. I j

    A few hours earlier.Malachi summoned his Stygian Dagger as four shadow hands grabbed on all of Mary’s limbs. Lifting her in the air, preventing her from moving or trying to escape.“Why are you doing this? Is this about the bones? Alyssa said my life is going to be in danger, but I don’t expect it to be this soon. I will tell you everything I know about the bones. Please spare me.”Malachi raised an eyebrow. ‘Is this really the target? A member of the Syndicate shouldn’t act like this.’The boy raised his palm. A line of fire formed on it, creating a sigil that changed every second. Malachi approached.“What are you going to do?” Mary watch in horror. “No. Don’t torture me. I will tell you anything you want to know.”Malachi put his palm on the bare skin of her stomach. Nothing happened. He checked her wrist, her ankles, her back. There was no Umbral Brand on her body.“You’re not the target,” Malachi said.Hearing that, Mary was a bit confused before she let out a sigh of relief aft

    After the unsettling events of the evening, Malachi made his way back to his room within the estate, his footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit corridors. Upon entering, he gracefully sank onto the bed, exhaling a calculated sigh of feigned exhaustion. He sprawled there, his posture a picture of weariness, yet his mind was anything but at rest. Malachi was acutely aware of the ever-watchful eyes that monitored his every move, invisible threads of scrutiny woven throughout the noble’s domain.No sooner had he settled than the door creaked open, revealing a maid pushing a cart laden with refreshments: a pitcher of fresh orange juice, an assortment of fruits, and an array of snacks. She approached with a quiet efficiency, placing the cart beside him with a deferential bow before turning to leave, her movements practiced and unobtrusive.Malachi’s gaze followed her departure, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, appreciating the predictable routine of hospitality—or perhaps, su

    Chapter 80 Hidden Danger

    In the moonlit garden of the estate, an air of anticipation and amusement filled the air as Malachi and the tall, blonde nobleman faced each other. The gathering of nobles, drawn by the prospect of a light sparring session between the renowned Malachi and one of their own, stood around in a semi-circle, their expressions ranging from curiosity to outright glee.The nobleman, his rapier hanging elegantly at his waist, introduced himself with a flourish. “I am Lord Edric, a humble practitioner of the blade,” he said, his voice carrying a note of pride. He offered Malachi a slight nod, the gesture a subtle acknowledgment of respect typically given to a commoner by a noble.Malachi, understanding the nuances of the gesture, responded in kind. He bent his knees slightly and bowed his head, maintaining eye contact with Lord Edric. This posture indicated his respect for the noble’s status, yet it also conveyed his readiness to engage fully in the spar.As they prepared to begin, another nobl

    Chapter 79 Banquet

    As Malachi stepped into the grand hall of the estate, he was immediately struck by the opulence that surrounded him. The room was a dazzling array of colors and lights, filled with beautiful women in flowing gowns and handsome nobles in their finest attire. Each person there held a tall standing, rulers of their own territories, their power and influence palpable in the air.Surveying the room, Malachi couldn’t help but think that this gathering was much more significant than he had initially anticipated. The small, relatively poor town he had been staying in seemed an unlikely place to draw the attention of such high-ranking nobility. His reputation, it seemed, had spread far and wide, or perhaps these nobles were facing a threat so grave that they were willing to use any means to increase their odds of survival.As he mingled through the crowd, a noble approached him. The man carried himself with an air of authority and grace, his eyes sharp and assessing.“Master Malachi, it’s a

    In the heart of the city, amidst the bustling training grounds, Malachi was deeply engaged in instructing a group of new recruits. His methods were unconventional, yet highly effective, drawing a crowd of onlookers who watched in awe. The children he had trained stood by, observing and learning from his every move.As Malachi demonstrated a complex maneuver, a soldier approached him, navigating through the crowd with a sense of purpose. The soldier, clad in the city’s guard uniform, carried himself with a respectful demeanor.“Master Malachi,” the soldier called out, drawing Malachi’s attention. The recruits paused, turning to witness the interaction.Malachi turned, his expression calm and inquisitive. “What is it?” he asked, his tone neither welcoming nor dismissive.The soldier bowed slightly, a sign of deep respect. “I bring a message for you, sir,” he said, extending his hand to present a magnificent letter. The envelope was adorned with gold embellishments, its craftsmanship ind

    Chapter 77 Absolute Victory

    As Garrick, driven by a mix of rage and desperation, charged towards Malachi, the air around them seemed to crackle with tension. Malachi, his expression unchanging, calmly assessed his adversary. He knew the bandit leader was no match for him, but he also understood the importance of making a statement.In a fluid, almost effortless motion, Malachi extended his hand, summoning the shadows around him. A bolt of dark energy, pulsating with malevolent power, coalesced in his palm. With a flick of his wrist, he released the Dark Bolt, directing it straight at Garrick.The bolt tore through the air with a hiss, striking Garrick squarely in the chest. The impact was devastating, the dark energy consuming him in an instant. Garrick’s body crumpled to the ground, lifeless, a look of shock forever etched on his face.As Garrick fell, a notification flashed.[You have killed a bandit].[You have received 20 soul points]. These acknowledgments of his deed were mere formalities to Malachi, insi

    Chapter 76 Bandit vs Children

    The aftermath of the raid was a scene of chilling efficiency. The bandits, with ruthless precision, gathered the trembling women and herded them back to their camp. The night air was heavy with a mix of fear and resignation as the captives shuffled along, their futures uncertain.At the camp, the bandits, with a twisted sense of hospitality, allowed their captives to clean themselves. The women, still in shock, moved robotically, their minds numbed by the night’s horrors.As the women bathed under the watchful eyes of their captors, Malachi observed them with a detached curiosity. His gaze was analytical, searching for any sign of rebellion or escape plans. But all he saw were broken spirits and defeated bodies.Later, as the bandits gathered around a roaring fire, the leader, a burly man named Garrick, made his appearance. His eyes, dark and calculating, scanned the captives with a predatory gaze. “Well done, boys,” he praised his men. “A fine haul tonight.”Malachi, still in his dis

    Chapter 75 Bandits

    The city, usually bustling with the everyday clamor of its inhabitants, was blissfully unaware of the new threat lurking within its walls. A group of bandits, cunningly disguised as merchants, made their way through the city gates. The guards, diligent but unsuspecting, waved them through without a second glance. But the keen eyes of the street children, who had learned to notice the unusual in their daily struggle for survival, immediately sensed something amiss.Eli, one of the children who had recently started training under Malachi, narrowed his eyes as he watched the carriage trundle through the streets. “Something’s not right about them,” he muttered to his companions. The group of children, their curiosity piqued, decided to follow the disguised bandits at a safe distance.The carriage, instead of heading towards the bustling market square as one would expect from merchants, stopped at a restaurant near the military barracks. The bandits chose a table outside, ostensibly to enj

    Chapter 74 Unexpected Encounter

    The following day dawned with a new challenge for the children under Malachi’s tutelage. As the sun rose, casting its golden rays over the barracks, Malachi led them into the dense forest where the soldiers were already engaged in a hunt. The soldiers, formidable and seasoned, moved with precision and confidence, hunting giant bears, wolves, and other fearsome beasts.“Watch closely,” Malachi instructed the children. “Observe their tactics, their coordination. There is much to learn from them.”The soldiers, aware of their young audience, seemed to take pride in their prowess. They displayed extravagant moves, working in pairs to efficiently track and take down their targets. Each move was a blend of strength and strategy, a dance between predator and prey.The children, wide-eyed with amazement, whispered among themselves, pointing out the soldiers’ techniques and the fluidity of their actions. They were particularly impressed by how even in the face of danger, the soldiers maintaine

    Chapter 73 Extreme Training

    After the refreshing bath in the lake, Malachi's demeanor shifted from nurturing to demanding. "Now, we run," he announced, his tone leaving no room for debate. The children, still catching their breath from the earlier exercise, exchanged weary glances but dutifully followed as Malachi set off at a steady pace.The run was grueling. Malachi led them over several kilometers of undulating hills, each ascent more challenging than the last. Then, without warning, he veered off towards a mountainous terrain. The children's legs burned with fatigue, their breaths shallow and rapid. The sun, now high in the sky, beat down mercilessly, adding to their exhaustion.Some of the children began to falter, their steps slowing, bodies slumping towards the ground. Voices of protest rose among them, pleading for a respite. Malachi, however, was unyielding. "Keep going," he commanded. "True warriors find strength even in their weakest moments. This training is not for the faint-hearted."His words, t
