Chapter 65: Chapter 63 The First Time

“The ‘Assassin’ Consecution is the 2nd Rank of the Path of Tranquility.”

It was clear that the Path of Tranquility was a much colder route compared to the other God Pantheon stairways.

The original Karl had seen that it suited Chris best and thus had bestowed it upon the young man of the Fischer family.

Chris knelt quietly in place, stretching out his hand to slowly clench and then unclench it, feeling the power emerging throughout his body, the improvement in his spirituality and physical condition was almost evenly split.

Beyond that, he had also gained a full three new Extraordinary traits.

They were ‘Lethality,’ ‘Nimble Body,’ and ‘Noiselessness.’

‘Lethality’ was a passive Extraordinary trait, whereby if Chris caused life-threatening severe injuries to a living being, the effect of ‘Lethality’ would naturally activate.

The injured party could not use potions, healing spells, or Mysterious rare artifacts to recover from their injuries, unless the potion, Spell’s source, or Mysterious rare artifact was far stronger than Chris himself.

‘Nimble Body’ was also a passive Extraordinary trait, which could make the body of an ‘Assassin’ as flexible as a cat’s. As long as he was prepared, he would almost never fall to the ground.

Chris’s body was already quite agile, and with ‘Nimble Body,’ even acrobats were no match for him.

The last Extraordinary trait was ‘Noiselessness,’ an active trait that continuously used Spiritual Power when activated.

Once an ‘Assassin’ activated ‘Noiselessness,’ their walking, running, or even attacking would not produce any excess noise due to the action itself.

Of course, ‘Noiselessness’ was not limiting—if the ‘Assassin’ intentionally spoke, they could still make sounds.

“Thank you, Lord of the Lost.”

Chris closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and would forever remember what had happened that night.

Were it not for the miracle of the Lord of the Lost, there would be no today for him and his sister, let alone the existence of the Fischer family.

The news that the silver descendants clan had surrounded the Fischer family, only to be chased away by many Nasir citizens, quickly spread throughout Nasir Town.

People constantly mocked the silver descendants for their timidity, and although they were extremely angry, they were powerless to do anything, and many began to grow dissatisfied with Emil’s decision-making.

And now a council elder, Aaron, with the elders’ endorsement, declared that he had not cheated at all, that the allegations of election bribery were completely unfounded.

He and the Fischer family were indeed friends, but not under the control of their money.

In truth, Aaron had contracted a serious illness. Just as most Nasir citizens respected Irene, he had sought her out to treat his condition.

People were initially skeptical until Aaron had a silver descendant doctor come forward to testify for him, confirming he indeed suffered from a major illness that could even affect his lifespan.

The so-called serious illness was, of course, an excuse Aaron had prepared in advance, along with evidence to absolve him.

The silver descendants were dubious, but then Aaron did something very bold that shocked everyone.

He actually approached Emil with an apology and a plea for peace, offering his goodwill and hoping the other would share the power of clan management!

Emil himself was extremely taken aback; sharing the elder’s powers was unprecedented, and he hadn’t expected Aaron to be willing to yield to such an extent.

“Emil, I am your brother among the silver descendants. Everything I’ve done has been for the clan. A death duel between you and me would only make things worse.”

“I have no wish to let outsiders scoff at us anymore. Only by joining forces can we walk the path meant for the silver descendants.”

His words were sincerely direct, coupled with his well-known forthright nature, many people, including Emil, believed him.

Aaron even told Emil that the only condition for him to share the elder’s powers was the need to deal with the traitor who had betrayed him originally.

After much consideration, Emil finally succumbed to greed and agreed.

Aaron’s expression was subtle, well aware that some would accuse him of being too weak, but henceforth, no one would betray him for Emil.

——

The young man who had betrayed Aaron was now very afraid, his boots stepping through the forest ground, his face covered in sweat.

“Damn! Damn! How could they possibly reconcile, and Aaron actually backed down?”
