The Author's POV

Chapter 645

Jin leaped into the air as he snuck toward five Marquis-ranked demons who were a little farther away from the other Marquis-ranked demons who had made the decision to advance a little in order to scope the war.

Some of them had even actively joined the war, trying to balance the situation as Ren's members were wreaking havoc at the very front. Their very presence was tilting the balance of the war as they massacred hundreds of demons at a time.

'I should also play a role.'

With his rank being rank, Jin now had the ability to fly as he skipped through the air in a secretive manner.

Nearing the demons, he activated his first skill.

[Absolute stealth [B]] : The user can completely conceal their breathing, heartbeat, and noise, as well as their physical form upon activating this skill.

Over the years, Jin had acquired many different skills. Most of them came from his guild. At times as a reward for all of his accomplishments, and at other times as a gift from his parents and grandfather.

He used to be very hesitant about taking skills in the past as he wanted to prove to the others that he didn't need the guild in order to be the best, but as he grew up, and he thought back on his previous thoughts, he could only shake his head and lament about how stupid and naive his thoughts were.

'If you are born with an advantage, use it.'

He was born with a golden spoon ever since he was little.

Perhaps because of others' jealousy and how they claimed that the only reason he was strong was because of his grandfather and all of the potions he was fed as a child, Jin began to believe their words, giving rise to his edgy teen phase where he would think of everyone as his enemy.

He had long grown past that phase.

He now knew better than anyone that the only opinion that mattered was his. It was his life, not theirs. What right did they have to say anything about his life?

Just the thought of how he had been manipulated in the past brought rise to a hidden anger within him.

'Fortunately, I realized it early.'

All he needed was one wake up call to learn of this, and from there, Jin decided to use the one advantage he had over the others and acquire the best skills he could through his guild.

Not only that, but he also learned the best arts that the guild had to offer.

Of course, he only learned those that would benefit him, and he didn't just learn all of the arts for the sake of learning them.

'If only I could've practiced everything earlier.'

Just thinking back at all the time he had wasted with his worthless pride gave rise to a high sense of disappointment in himself.

'What a waste.'

"Fuuu..."

His body emerged from behind a Marquis ranked demon.

There were a total of five Marquis ranked demons scattered around him, and none of them took notice of his presence.

Appearing from behind the demon, Jin's eyes changed as five different red shooting targets appeared in his vision.

[Axiom Lock [S]] : The user gains the ability to see through the opponent's axis, pivots, and center of gravity, granting them a significant advantage in combat.

As he fiddled with the two daggers in his hands, a circular domain started to spread out from his body, until it began to encircle the area around him as well as the Marquis ranked demon.

[Domain of silence [A]] : Constructs a domain around the user that prevents all noise from escaping.

The domain was invisible.

Only Jin had the ability to see it expand from out of his body, and encircling the area around him and the demon.

The next set of actions all happened in a flash.

With his eyes darting all over the targets, Jin's hands flashed, and the dagger in his hand pierced right through every single spot marked in his vision.

The demon screamed out loud, but no noise came out of his mouth. If that wasn't enough, by the time Jin was done attacking the Marquis ranked demon, the demon found himself unable to move as the ligaments of both his arms and legs had been torn.

A long line spread across his neck, and his wings had been cut.
