After only being in the gray vision state for a short while, Warina felt a stinging pain in the middle of his eyebrows, and his heart was quickly filled with the urge to vent and destroy.

He was startled, waved his hand and exited this field of vision, and immediately tried to meditate.

Reminded by Old Neil's teachings to Klein in the original work, Varina knew very well that this feeling was actually caused by him having just completed his promotion and not yet being able to control the power of the potion well, causing it to overflow slightly.

There is a risk of getting out of control, so don't be careless!

According to what Qili said before leaving, Varina began his first meditation.

He stopped paying attention and sketched his golden walnut cane in his mind, thinking about the feeling of rubbing it and its specific shape.

He kept repeating and sketching.

Then something strange happened.

Varina had clearly been imagining his cane, but what finally took shape in his mind was a dagger, a long-edged dagger that was nearly half shorter than the cane and almost half a meter long, and it was extremely lifelike. , even the patterns on the blade are very clear.

Fortunately, such changes did not affect the effectiveness of the first step of meditation.

As his attention gradually shifted to the long-edged dagger in his mind, Varina felt that his condition had improved a lot.

Then, striking while the iron was hot, he began to truly meditate.

To start this step, you need to replace the specific things in your mind with something that does not exist in the world and is imagined out of thin air.

Varina hesitated, not knowing what to use instead.

Maybe like Klein, using layers of light balls? But wouldn’t this be too uncreative?

After thinking for a moment, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, and Varina was immediately overjoyed.

What he had in mind was a motion picture, a motion picture demonstrating the structure of a hypercube.

This thing definitely cannot exist in reality, this is it!

He tried to recall the gif.

Varina originally thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, he did it relatively easily. He successfully completed the replacement of the physical object, and his mind gradually became clearer.

He felt that his body and mind had calmed down, and his field of vision seemed to increase infinitely, until a quiet void with slightly broken cracks appeared in front of him.

Seeing the void, Varina felt as if he had gained some kind of sublimation.

Then, when he got excited, he immediately withdrew from such a mysterious state. Looking around again, he saw that it was still the simple rental house.

Fortunately, the first meditation was still successful, and Varina no longer had the restlessness full of destructive desire.

Then, he went out again and came to the alley near his residence.

He wanted to test his ability.

The first is "light body and feather fall".

With the help of his powerful body that had received double amplification and improvement, Warina exerted his strength and jumped onto a two-meter-long courtyard wall with ease and deftness.

From the top of the wall, Warina took off with all his strength. This time he jumped over three meters high. Adding the two-meter height of the courtyard wall, he was already close to six meters above the ground. This height was enough to test the "Light Body Feather Fall".

The whistling wind sounded in his ears, and Varina's body quickly dropped to the ground at an alarming speed. If he lands like this, even if his body is very strong now, he may still be injured.

At this moment, Varina's thoughts moved, and the weight of his body suddenly seemed to disappear. His whole figure was like a feather, falling silently to the ground, without even causing the ground to vibrate.

This is the "Assassin's" stunt of being light, and he can land safely without a haystack.

Then there's "Smart Steps."

Varina returned to the narrow alley filled with debris and suddenly bolted out, crossing the entire alley in the blink of an eye.

Among them, the speed was not excessive. The most outrageous thing was that he didn't touch any debris at all and didn't make a sound.

Obviously, this is also one of the stunts that "assassins" rely on to survive.

Next is "charged critical attack".

The "Assassin" potion can give extraordinary people the ability to explode all their power in one blow. In order to distinguish it from the "Hunter's" "weakness attack", Varina decided to name it "Charged Critical Strike".

He found an Intis sycamore tree about the thickness of his thigh on the street outside the alley, took out the dagger tied to the outside of his left arm, and with one force, the entire dagger blade actually penetrated into the trunk of the tree.

Such an attack might not even be able to be blocked by most metal armors!

There is no doubt that this is the "Assassin's" strongest weapon.

In addition, Varina discovered that after becoming an "assassin", his original extraordinary qualities were not overwritten and disappeared, but were instead enhanced to a certain extent.

What's even weirder is that he also received the same specious ability given by the "Assassin" potion.

The first is "dark vision".

His previous ability to see in the dark was a bit like a status spell. As soon as he thought about it, the world suddenly became clear, as if it was dawn suddenly.

The dark vision provided by the "Assassin" potion is not like this. It is more like gaining owl-like eyes. While the vision has been greatly enhanced, the pupil's ability to adjust the amount of light has also been greatly improved. This is "Assassin's" dark vision.

The two are obviously not the same ability.

Then there’s “Hiding Shadows.”

His previous action of hiding in the shadows was crouching, mainly relying on a greatly reduced sense of presence to make himself seem to disappear into the shadows.

The ability provided by the "Assassin" potion is different. It is more like using the shadow as a cloak to cover one's body. The effect of this hiding method has nothing to do with posture and movement.

The two are still not the same ability.

and “body coordination.”

His previous physical coordination ability was more like a physical improvement, a real comprehensive improvement of his basic qualities. This allowed him to perform an almost silent reflexive jump off the wall without any training, which was of ordinary significance. physical coordination.

The effect of the "Assassin" potion is completely different. Although it also improves the basic quality to a certain extent, the additional dexterity and lightness, including charged critical strikes, are more like an extraordinary force-generating technique.

The two are still not the same ability.

The more Varina tested, the more he felt something was wrong. He was shocked and doubtful - was he really half an "assassin" before?

If these abilities had confused him enough, the next new ability was a complete victory.

After being promoted, Varina also gained a weird new ability——

In a state of gray vision, he can establish an extraordinary connection between people and objects, thereby weakening people's thoughts and making them dull, as if they are distracted.

This is not an ability that the "Assassin" potion can provide, not even the "Instigator"!

"What the hell is going on?"

"These abilities have nothing to do with the 'Assassin' path!"

"There's another very important point - how come I didn't lose control?"

"Could it be..."

As if a bolt of lightning flashed across, Varina's eyes suddenly flashed.

"There is only one possibility, and that is - before drinking the potion, I was not half an assassin!" "

All kinds of tastes suddenly rose in Varina's heart.

"And this means that I chose the wrong path!"
