Chapter 176: A husband learns about Hide Control Concept!

Once the new concept awakened within Kyoya's arsenal, a desire to use it immediately followed it. If he were to follow orders of the assassin, then his goal should be to escape right now.

However, Kyoya just couldn't stop himself from using this new concept yet again.

Surrounded by nothing more than adventurers themselves, the husband smiled widely behind his mask. This grayish piece of equipment was covered in a blood that was tickling down while still rather hot.

A hot blood just meant one thing - a deep killing intent had been coursing through the dead body of the adventurer! The husband's gray coat also looked as if it was splashed by a bucket of hot bloody paint.

His whole appearance didn't look like the assassin, but Kyoya was using this assassin craft to carve his path! Furthermore, the assassin himself said that his profession usually faced opponents in close combat after failing to one shot them.

So Kyoya spun his knife a little, then clenched it with his blade pointing at the opponent. His weapon was close to his chest while waiting for them to get closer. Of course, while the blade pointed at one, Kyoya's eyes and senses were always on the watch for attack from any direction.

"I will kill this fucker…. I will fucking kill him!"

"Calm down! Don't let his death influence you!"

"Arghhh!"

The adventurer seemed to play with time. It wasn't only Kyoya's opponent's blood on his body, so it was a fair tactic. If their weapons couldn't take down him, then the bleeding would make things easier or even get the job done!

This didn't mean that some of them could just stay still.

The most vocal adventurer who mourned over his friend's death suddenly rushed at Kyoya. His anger was so clearly evident on his face that no one would mistake his emotions. After his lips parted to let out an ear-piercing scream, the man raised his sword to let it fall onto Kyoya's body. This weapon carried more than just simple energy outburst as the blood and the adventurer's feelings got imbued into it.

This powerful strike got blocked by Kyoya's raw hand, though.

[You have tricked your nerves. You can't feel pain coming from the left hand.]

[You have tricked your left hand. Your left hand goes against the human's limits to hold the adventurer's weapons.]

[Your left hand can withstand this pressure for two minutes.]

All his stats allowed Kyoya to keep this sword for only two minutes, but the husband had been fighting for a long time already with his Knife Thrust only. So even if those people were weaker than him, some limits were bound to happen.

He didn't really put much thought into it, but just unleashed his knife thrust forth.

"You won't get me!"

The adventurer was rash, but still processed the husband's style. So when the knife rushed forth, he distanced his body a few steps behind. However, Kyoya's knife thrust was faster and he also utilized the new concept.

This concept made the husband's knife golden-red energy to elongate. It went forward without Kyoya's knife moving forth causing the surprise attack that shocked the adventurer. His heart got pierced so easily it was laughable, but during his fall, the adventurer felt like his friends' reactions were far more.

It was solely because they couldn't see through it and so thought that Kyoya was just faster!

[You have gathered enough achievements to go up the floors.]

Such an announcement meant that Kyoya already killed and escaped the adventurers. He was on his way toward the assassin who didn't really feel like rebuking him for going against his orders.

Of course, he knew how the desire to test one's new ability immediately felt, but it was not what stopped him. The assassin simply decided to just pour down all his knowledge for the husband and make him just go his way.

It would take a while for Kyoya to go away, though. Wasn't this assassin the best teacher he could get? Even if Kyoya got all required knowledge for The Assassin Craft and began making it more versatile with his trickster god's abilities, Kyoya still would choose to stay with the assassin and his disciples.

"I am back."

"Let's head back to the camp then."

"Yes."

Kyoya's hands reached for Akaro, then the husband kicked the ground toward the camp where he will take his rest and regenerate the wounds he got inflicted by. Just a few minutes were enough to reach this camp where the fog couldn't disturb the disciple's eyes.

After Kyoya took one seat with Akaro, the assassin took his own and lit up a cigarette.

There was no one other than two of them.

"Even a cat knows that you are too skilled, so I have decided to pass you everything today."

"Thank you. Your Assassin Craft won't die with me as the disciple."

"That's reassuring. Let's begin with the congratulations for your new concept and with Hide Control."

"Hide Control!"

It would be a deadly blow if the assassin suddenly decided to go against his words! Such excitement from Kyoya was rare and it could even make the assassin himself let out a chuckle!

He then spoke what was the most important about the 'Hide Control' concept that was like the primary concept in the Assassin Craft.

"Look at me. Keep your eyes focused."

"Yes."

Kyoya followed the guide and focused deeply. His eyes contracted as he utilized what he knew and what his eyes could actually utilize. His concepts were not bad for his strength level, so Kyoya got approval from the assassin.

Then, the whole appearance of this man disappeared!

'Where did he go?'

A few more blinks were enough to spot the man anew, but Kyoya realized his mistake.

"You didn't… move."

"Correct. I have made your senses follow my lead."

As the assassin sucked more onto his cigarette, he formed a lot of 'ashes' around it. He lightly shook it down and this was when Kyoya got his eye sense pulled by his concept. The husband's eyes were forced to count even the smallest bit of these ashes.

After those did hit the ground, Kyoya got freed from such influence.

It was damn scary!

While Kyoya was rubbing his eyes out from the shock, the assassin went deeper with details that were pleasant for Kyoya. Just one word was enough to cause his heart to palpitate.

"It's like I am tricking others to look at what I want. But this concept doesn't come as easily as you think. First of all, you have to achieve eidetic memory. One's senses are sensitive, so If I were someone amateur with this concept, then your body alone would spot disparity between the real image and the one I pulled you into."

It was naturally 'tricking' that was the reason for such an increase in heartbeat.

Kyoya felt like his divine energy was aroused by this alone and so he began learning more of this Hide Control concept. Because his divine energy was aroused, Kyoya woke up to the game system message that brought a wide smile out from it.

[You have acquired the Eidetic Memory concept.]

His dream could be reviewed like a movie right now!

And what Kyoya dreamt about was his wife.
