Anton showed off a few more of the Assassin’s skills, which fbbergasted everyone since most of the skills from the mysterious hidden killers were not known to regur mages or even regur people. Apparently, those stealth warriors tried to keep their skills secret to make sure that people would not have any counter for them when the assassins used them.
He had to reiterate to everyone that the skills that he had shown them, like some of the martial arts skills and some of the Shadow Discipline skills, were probably not exactly the same as those of a regur assassin since Anton didn’t actually know what skills regur assassins had.
During dinner, Anton was thankful that his father was the one expining to the newcomers like Antonia’s group and Selena and her two friends why Anton had access to skills from different professions. They knew about the healing spells since Anton had not been secretive when using them and he might have mentioned something about his bloodline magic to the others before. They also had seen the animals that he had summoned like the Spirit Wolves, the Dire Wolves, and the Dire Bear. They also knew that Anton had access to some spells that those who practice the magic of the undead had.
Anton was extremely surprised at how good his father was in bullshitting since Anders told them that his son would awaken the spells that were hidden in his bloodline that came from a long legacy of heroes and those heroes were a mixture of different professions. Anton thought that his father took inspiration from the animated show Avatar: The Last Airbender but unfortunately for him, everyone on the table had seen the show as well.
Antonia and the others clearly indicated through their expression that they knew that Anders was bullshitting but what was impressive was Anton’s father kept a straight face while telling the absurd lies.
Thankfully, they didn’t ask any more about Anton’s magic since every powerful family had secrets and apparently they already intruded on some of the core secrets of Anton’s family. Antonia did inquire gracefully if Anna had the same powers and Anders said that not yet since Anton received his legacy when he was seventeen years old.
Anton didn’t know if what his father had said could endanger the family or Anna because he implied that Anton’s sister would receive the same powers when she reached the same age as Anton but he thought that his father probably knew what he was doing.
He could understand a little bit why his father had done that because the more power their family had, the safer they should be especially when they reached New Drennor. Anton had to admit that the reason why he was rushing was he wanted to officially reach the rank of Supreme by the time they reached New Drennor and he thought that maximizing all the levels of all the Diablo II characters would allow him to reach that. Reaching the Supreme Rank, at least if it was indicated by the standard mage’s rank detection device, would allow their family to be safe from the rich noble families of New Drennor.
While they were eating, Anton thought of some other ways he could make the family more powerful and the only thing that he could think of then was for him to create enchanted items based on his skills that should only be exclusive to his family.
The best skill that he could think of, especially for protection, was the skills of the Padin but he wouldn’t start exploring that yet since Anton truly wanted to reach the maximum level of his Assassin first and then start on either the Amazon or the Barbarian characters.
Since he was now reaching the end of his journey with his Diablo II system, he wondered what his system would do next. The other parts of his system like mastering the spells so he could alter and combine them weren’t truly part of his Diablo II system original content so he wouldn’t include it as truly part of the system. He thought of the other game franchise in the Diablo game but he was beginning to doubt that it would branch out to other Diablo games since his system was specifically titled the Diablo II system, not the Diablo System.
Anton then shrugged since once he maximized the level of the st character, then he would know the next thing his system would do.
After dinner, they all returned to the suite and watched a couple of episodes of the television shows that they were watching. The television shows had become a family tradition that they did almost every evening and it was a way for everyone to unwind from what made them busy during the day.
When they were done watching the shows, they went to their rooms to rest but some did stay to have conversation with each other. Sadly, before, they could go out and roam the ship for a bit but because of the threat of the assassin group and that everyone in the family knew that they were likely going to be targeted because Anton managed to capture some of the assassins, therefore interrupting their pns, so they had to remain in the suite. The mages talked about their magic and ways to increase their efficiency.
Sadly, the most affected by their confinement to the suite was Devon. Normally, Devon would be out and about doing his thing but since Lucas forbade him from going out because of the assassin situation, the young mercenary was getting antsy. Unfortunately, whatever reasoning he presented to his parents that he would be safe alone while roaming the ship, they were all rejected, and that he just had to wait until the current problem was resolved.
They did try to alleviate Devon’s irritation by saying that the powerful ship mages should be able to resolve the situation soon.
Colin and the female bodyguards they hired were quiet, how showing any of their opinions. To be honest, Anton sometimes forgot that they even existed, which according to his father was the good mark of a good bodyguard or attendant but he still found it weird.
Anton did ask Nemina to make sure that they were comfortable within the family and Nemina assured him that the guards were happy. They were not really gambling with their lives since the only thing that they did was to guard the dies and the dies in the family usually just stay in the suite.
“Isn’t that very boring for them?” Anton asked Nemina.
“In mercenary work, that usually happened and that is the best situation that a mercenary could hope for since that meant that they were getting paid while they safe. Besides, the guards can also watch the shows and movies that we’re watching free of charge,” Nemina shrugged.
Anton would have preferred to use the time after watching the television shows that night to practice his music but he decided to skip it since it might disturb the others so what he did was surf the internet before sleeping.
The next day was mostly the same. After breakfast, Anton focused on leveling up his Assassin character while the mages in the family practiced their magic outside his room. His father and the others went out to make sure that there were no problems in the cinema but during the afternoon, his father arrived together with two Supreme Wizards. The Supreme Numinor and Supreme Adinor came to visit Anton for some reason.
When Anton heard the commotion outside his room, he immediately exited his Diablo II system and was highly surprised to see the two Supreme Wizards together with his father.
“Esteemed Supremes, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?” Anton asked after inviting the two supreme to sit on the sofa in the living room.
