• Fires one or more magical star projectiles. Summons multiple homing rays upon impact.

[Like a shadow]

• Clone/Teleportation magic.

Duration: 1 minute per level. No limit on quantity.

Chant: For justice!

……

"Fuck..."

After reading the information recorded on the parchment, Xia Jia could only describe his feelings with the word "Holy crap."

"As expected of magic that cost a fortune to create. It's got some substance."

Shaka recalled carefully:

Kato's magic is a mixed bag, but for Shaka, an old-school gamer, it feels very familiar.

Backstab stealth goes without saying; it's an essential spell for Grand Assassins. It's not just for attacking, but also a life-saving skill.

Passerby + Stealth = Invincible?

The subsequent magical bullets are elements typically found only in magical girls. They are likely burst skills awakened by Kato in her desire for greater attention, fundamentally compensating for her lack of explosive power.

The final, ever-present presence is somewhat reminiscent of Spectre's ultimate ability in Dota 2. Only Kato Megumi, who can appear beside someone at any time, is a true Grand Assassin.

"This must be the magic that Kato wished for, so that he could be there for his friends whenever they were in danger."

"In the future, we can really say, 'Kato, Kato has arrived.'"

Shaka's gaze was complicated. How should she position Kato now?

A commander who doesn't want to be a mage isn't a good Assassin.

“What?! I don’t want to be an assassin,” Kato Megumi retorted.

"It's perfectly suited to her."

"He's clearly a mage!"

Shaka struck a pose of waving a wand and pressing down a mage's hat, teasingly saying:

"You're a magical girl, right? Whenever you're in danger, I'll be there for you! A magical girl of love who will always uphold justice. Shining☆Star, Ye Xunli-sama?"

Kato Megumi said with a kind expression:

"Hmm—, Captain, don't you feel embarrassed when you're imitating a magical girl? If you really like it, I can make you a custom-made outfit."

You've turned evil, girl!

Shaga put away his unserious posture and said seriously, "With this magic, it will be much easier for you to travel between the labyrinth and the surface."

"As long as you confirm the location of friendly forces through [ST], you can use your ultimate ability to directly land at any location. It's much more convenient than my gate opening."

Shaga stroked his chin and suggested, "We also need to test whether this clone can independently gain ability points. Although it only lasts for a minute, if it can double the experience points gained, it might be useful as a growth skill."

and……

There's no limit to the number of clones; if the verification is successful, it won't just be a matter of one or two times.

Damn it...

hang!

Chapter 223 Darkness Stirs

Late at night, at the Adventurers' Cemetery.

This is a cluster of burial mounds located inside Orario, where a group of heroes who made great contributions to the city are buried.

Most of the tombs did not contain any corpses; the victims had likely died in the underground city, leaving no trace of their remains.

And in such a place, at the moment when the moonlight hangs high in the sky, a male god stands quietly in front of a tombstone.

The handsome man had medium-length blond hair and wore an elegant, aristocratic suit. Unlike traditional Europeans, his handsome and elegant face was devoid of emotion. He knelt on one knee and gracefully placed a bouquet of flowers before the tombstone. The name of the deceased was reflected in his deep, unfathomable eyes.

Astrea's Kinship.

"Lord Dionysus."

Behind the male god, a cold and sharp elf with long black hair and blood-red eyes spoke softly.

"What's the matter?"

Phil Weiss lowered her head slightly: "[Swift Wind] has discovered information about the underground labyrinth."

"Is that so?" Dionysus slowly rose and gently brushed the dust off his knees.

"Isn't that great? Finally, I can 'get my revenge.'"

Phil Weiss did not answer the question, but continued:

"There has been a shift in the power dynamics within the labyrinth. We've 'discovered' a new member known as 'Shadow,' who has brought a new plan that has been agreed upon and is being implemented by most of the remnants of the dark factions."

Dionysus frowned slightly: "What plan?"

Phil Weiss frankly admitted: "A god-making plan."

Dionysus's expression showed slight displeasure: "Are you interfering?"

"No." Phil Weiss lowered her head in shame.

“I’m sorry, Lord Dionysus. He saw my face… I’ve been discovered.”

"..."

The male god fell silent.

He felt a surge of anger at having his plans disrupted. But this was the ground, and any action that might reveal his true identity was forbidden, including this current exchange.

Reason quickly calmed him down:

"As long as you're okay."

He used such ambiguous words to express his attitude.

Phil Weiss asked, "What should we do next?"

"Doing absolutely nothing."

"Eh?"

There's nothing strange about it, because there's no need for it.

No matter how the power of the dark faction shifts, they are ultimately just pawns in his game. This guy has only just begun to resemble a chess player; it's too early for him to actually play the game.

As for [Swift Wind], he was merely an insignificant character. In the course of 15 years of scheming, this elf lacked both the time and the opportunity to grow.

Such characters will eventually be crushed under the wheels of time.

Not to mention the fledglings that have only been rebuilt for a year...

Dionysus slowly turned around, revealing a gentle smile with narrowed eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with us, does it?"

"Yes."

The conversation ends here.

Dionysus and the fairy lady slowly stepped into the darkness.

However, as their figures disappeared into the darkness, the moonlight shone on the Astrea Familia's cemetery, where the blooming flowers appeared deep and desolate.

……

A man-made maze.

Level 17.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

A loud, rhythmic clanging of metal echoed through the area.

With a loud crash, a wall collapsed.

"Huff, huff—" Grace gasped for breath.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, tossed aside the battle axe with its worn and pitted blade, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"No, this won't do. If this continues, I'll never get out of this maze."

Grace stared blankly at the tunnel he had carved out, which was about 1000 meters long. He had already destroyed nearly 80 walls. He still couldn't see the end of the maze.

He licked his dry lips; the long hours of physical labor had left him somewhat dehydrated. He wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

"Swish."
