Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 264: Shadow Demon, Born to Be an Assassin

After a long period of time, the arena became lively again after the appearance of the Fire Asura. However, because he had become invincible, the matches became much duller.

Recently, the audience had become less and less enthusiastic to watch the battles. Instead, they participated in the various bets that revolved around the Fire Asura outside the arena.

Among them, the most popular gambling game was to bet on the current strength of the Fire Asura.

Some people said that he was still a level 25 creature whilst others said that he had reached level 30. There were also some who said that he was still hovering around level 28.

However, among the various opinions, no one could give the correct answer. This was because the Fire Asura defeated his opponents easily.

Going on stage to fight and then turning around to leave the stage, three to four times a day had become Vincent’s daily routine. Even Vincent himself felt extremely bored!

Vincent once again ended the day’s competition schedule. He walked out of the arena silently. Suddenly, a rare glimmer of anticipation arose in his heart.

This was because Irene had just found someone to inform him that the Shadow Demon, Ebenezer had woken up!

In the past few days, Vincent had gone to visit Ebenezer, but he had always been in a coma and had never woken up. Finally, Vincent was able to speak to his disciple. He was very excited.

After leaving the Arena of Life and Death, the manager tactfully did not continue to follow Vincent. He instead allowed him to wander around the corridor.

Vincent walked straight to Ebenezer’s room. Before he entered, he looked through the glass window. He saw the heavily injured youth practicing his attacks and assassinations in the room. He performed very difficult moves. He did not leave any room for weakness.

Vincent quietly signaled the manager at the side to help him open the door. Then, without alerting Ebenezer, he walked into his room silently to watch him practice.

At that moment, Ebenezer was at the most crucial point of his practice. His body swayed and he turned into a shadow. It was illusory and unpredictable. No one was able to figure out the true intention of his attack.

Suddenly, the sound of metal clanking echoed throughout the entire room.

Sparks appeared on the wall as if someone had cut the wall countless times in an extremely short period of time.

A black shadow flashed, and Ebenezer landed on the ground. His hands were on his knees as he panted heavily. He looked at the wall that was densely covered with scars. It was as if he was counting the knife marks on it.

Vincent looked at Ebenezer’s back and sighed softly, “Not bad! He’s very fast, and his attacks are very sharp. It’s just that his strength is a little lacking, and his timing is not good enough!”

Ebenezer turned around in surprise, and saw Vincent sitting behind him, sizing him up. He knelt down on one knee in excitement and said, “Lord Fire Asura! Thank you for coming to see me!”

“Since you are my in-name disciple, then of course I have to come and see you! Originally, I wanted to remind you to pay attention to your own training even when recuperating, but now it seemed that I have been overthinking things! But it’s better this way, because I won’t waste the resources that I’ve painstakingly obtained for you!” said Vincent with a smile. At the same time, he took out a large pile of materials and consumables required for cultivation and placed them in front of Ebenezer.

As a Shadow Demon, Ebenezer had a unique cultivation method passed down by the elders in his race. Naturally, he was the only one who knew the cultivation materials required. When he saw the materials that Vincent had prepared for him were things that could be used, he was shocked. He was full of gratitude as he said, “Thank you, master! Your disciple will definitely work hard and practice. I guarantee that I will not disappoint you! But I still have a question. May I ask, do you know about the ability of our Shadow Demon Race?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “No! Although I’ve met a few in the arena, I have never interacted with your race before!”

When Ebenezer heard his reply, he became even more surprised. He asked, “Then, how did you know what materials I needed for cultivation? Moreover, when you gave me pointers in the arena, you seemed to know the advantages and disadvantages of the Shadow Demon Race like the back of your hand. At that moment, I even thought that you were a senior from my race!”

When Vincent heard that, he smiled. He shook his head and said, “I took these materials directly from the evil lord. The purpose is to allow you to advance further. As for how the evil lord knew, I think it’s very simple. When he captured the races as participants, he would naturally conduct a detailed investigation on them. That’s why he has knowledge about every race! As for the guidance on the battlefield, it’s actually very simple. I don’t need to know about your Shadow Demon Race’s ability, I only need to know how to defeat an enemy. That’s enough for me to be your master! Speaking of which, your Shadow Demon Race might seem like a high-level race, but your combat level is really not that good!”

Ebenezer nodded in realization. He shook his head and said, “The Shadow Demons are actually not a high-level race at all. We are just born stronger, but this is also because the living conditions in our world are abnormally harsh! In our world, we must fight monsters for food. Even vegetables and fruits must be taken from the corpses of similar monsters. That’s how we became the Shadow Demons. We are natural hunters and assassins! In order to survive and eat, we must protect ourselves and kill more monsters! However, when the Black Hole appeared, our world was invaded. Although we could still organize an effective counterattack in the beginning, we soon failed in the battlefield, causing the Shadow Demon Race’s population to decrease sharply. The remaining members scattered around the Black Hole world. It’s almost impossible for us to reunite again!”

Vincent could not help but sigh after hearing this. This was the first time he had learned about the Shadow Demon Race’s past. It sounded similar to the Human Race’s experience, but it seemed like the Shadow Demon Race’s strength was even more unique.

The environment that they lived in should be more simple. The funny thing was that their abilities could only be brought into full play in the dark!

Vincent helped Ebenezer up and said in a deep voice, “If you’re willing, I can not only teach you real assassination methods, but I can also teach your other clansmen. Perhaps I can also point out a brand-new path for your Shadow Demon Race and ensure that you have a place to live. It will also be a more convenient way for you to display your talents and abilities!”

Ebenezer quickly asked, “May I ask, master, what can you do to change the current situation of the Shadow Demons?”

Vincent smiled and said softly, “Use your talents and abilities to accept requests from weak worlds. Help them assassinate any races that attempt to invade them! And as a reward, I can help you close the Black Holes in your world!”
