Chapter 69: Preparing for the Assassination (1/2)

After playing with the vine ability for roughly half an hour, Merlin found a few more limitations with it The main limitation was that it could extend for a hly the radius affected by the light spell

The next lihly output as le arm So if Merlin couldn't physically lift an object with his arms, it was very unlikely that the vines would be able to either

Although there were a few cases where this wasn't the case, as the vine was longer than his are to apply oblin's body around fro to throw it around with just his ar he took note of was that he couldn't seeth No ure out a way to tear through it with force alone, if soed around instead

And finally, the ards to the vine was that its ability to retract didn't care about the weight limit If Merlin hooked his vine on a tree branch or solid surface and retracted his vine, it would drag hi hook

"It's gimmicky It really is" Merlin ht sky to deterot a couple hours left to plan this out"

Merlin's light source had vanished a little while ago, and he was using the caan chanting, causing yet another sht to appear and hover around hioblin's bow and quiver, throwing the his way further into the forest He took a look at his abilities and realised he hadn't taken a look at the thief class's skills in this life, partially because of the situation he was in at the time, but also because out of every class, he was thesure the skill hadn't changed for whatever reason, he quickly checked the skill info, pulling up an information

Merlin chanted the skill name, and shortly after he could feel his presence become somewhat blurrier

「Skill ⟪Sneak⟫ Activated, stealth increased by 30 for 20 seconds」

Merlin ht atteh the ball of light was still clearly visible Doing so, he successfully snuck up on a squirrel before the sneak skill ran out, causing it to suddenly panic and dash away the second Merlin appeared in front of it Merlin found it interesting that the squirrel didn't seeht, it stared at it for a briefit wasn't a threat

Merlin continued on his way, trying to find the closest wolf spawning location to the road It was at this moment when he picked up the scent of blood nearby Merlin hid his presence naturally as he approached the source of the blood stench

"Seriously, how many more wolves do I have to kill" He heard an obnoxiously whiny voice in the distance, the person was loud enough that they could be properly understood from at least thirty aive me a damn quest"

As Merlin approached, he could see that the source of this whiny voice was none other than his favourite victietting arrested, had severely depleted the town's opinion of hi to associate with hi town reputation when it was too low to get quests was to reduce threats in the area, do odd jobs around town or ih si monsters was the slowest ise or clean the town
