An orange glow came from the edge of the book.
It was glowing so brightly that only Kieran could see it.
[Discovered Skill Book: Viper Kick]
[Prerequisites met, learn?]
"Learn!"
Kieran answered without hesitation.
[Learned Skill: Viper Kick]
[Name: Viper Kick (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: The muscles and joints of both legs can be slightly deformed, slightly increasing the attack range of the kicks]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Hand-to-Hand Combat, Kick Combats (Master), Strength E +, Agility E +, Constitution E +]
[Remarks: A kicking technique that is known for its strange and unpredictable nature, catching people off guard]
...
A burning stream of energy flowed around Kieran's legs. His mind was filled with the knowledge of [Viper Kick], and it was then merged into his body.
A few seconds later, everything stopped.
Kieran kicked forward hard.
Tssss!
When the kick reached its limit, the muscles on Kieran's thighs and calves tightened. His knees and ankles trembled, and the tip of his foot that was stretched taut gave out a snake-like hiss, but it was actually the sound of his muscles and joints twisting. His foot protruded another 5 meters forward.
"Catching me off guard?"
Kieran commented on the Rare Rank kicking technique.
In his mind, he already had an idea on how to utilize the kicking technique.
Of course, it wasn't now.
He had to at least reach a certain level before he could use it.
Kieran then walked over to the slender sword that Kieran had dropped.
A bright green glow was shining on top of the sword.
[Name: Buckle Stinger]
[Type: Sword Type Weapon]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attributes: 1. Critical Lvl 1; 2. Nimble Lvl 1]
[Effects: None]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: It used to be an assassin's favorite, but it needs to be worn around the waist to bring out its full potential.]
...
[Critical Lvl 1: When hitting a weak spot, there is a chance to deal double the damage]
[Nimble Lvl 1: It will not restrict your movement]
...
"It really is an assassin!"
Kieran sighed in his heart when he saw the description of [Buckle Sting].
Whether it was [Viper Kick] or [Buckle Sting], both of them were skills that caught the enemy off guard and were favored by assassins.
Kieran didn't mind using such methods.
Unfortunately, compared to [Buckle Sting], [Wild Soul] was much more important.
After putting the special narrow sword into his backpack, Kieran turned around and looked at Mary who was staring blankly at Galeart's body.
There was a trace of hatred in the girl's eyes.
Most of them were at a loss.
However, before Kieran could open his mouth to comfort him,
The girl's sharp senses allowed her to control her expression.
"How did you know Galeart was the murderer?"
She asked.
"Just now!"
"The murderer who killed your mother did it because of the secret order, but based on my previous deduction, there were only a handful of people who knew about the 'meeting'."
"Other than the imperial envoy and the subordinate who carried out the order, there were only your mother, you and Galeart."
"As for the subordinate who carried out the order, if I'm not mistaken, he should be a suicide soldier or something.
After eliminating the first person, there were only your mother, you and Galeart left. "
"Among the three of them, your mother and you were the victims, so the biggest suspect was naturally Galeart."
Kieran then looked at Mary.
"Do you still remember his hostility towards me?
From that moment on, he had been misleading me!
He wanted me to place my attention on Harway or Poer and let the outside world think that I was the murderer! "
Kieran said.
"But that doesn't prove anything!"
Mary frowned, unable to accept what Kieran had said.
"It doesn't prove anything!"
"In fact, I was also deceived at first!"
"Because Galeart's arrangements were perfect from the start. No one knew how he killed Harway and Poer by surprise!"
"If there wasn't anything after that …"
Kieran didn't refute.
Just like what Kieran said, Galeart's arrangements were perfect from the start.
"Don't you think after we left Swusters Castle, right after Galeart woke up from his coma and explained to me, Swusters Castle was engulfed by the fire? Is it a coincidence?"
"What's more coincidental is that the fire also showed that the murderer didn't get what he really wanted."
"Everything seems to have been rehearsed. His actions are really unnecessary!"
"More importantly, the wounds on his body were the key to deceive me and at the same time, it was also the key that made me react to the situation!"
Kieran said as he gestured at his own body.
Those were the wounds on Galeart's body.
Because of the bandaging, Kieran had carefully observed Galeart's wounds.
So, at that moment, Kieran used his memory to reconstruct the wounds without any mistakes.
Mary stared at Kieran's fingers tightly.
"Every wound just happened to avoid the right hand, legs, and vital parts …"
When Kieran stopped, she lowered her head and muttered to herself.
"Mm.
If he wasn't skillful and at ease, he wouldn't have been able to do it to this extent! "
"If he was skillful and at ease, it would be easy for him to avoid all the wounds. No normal person would want to be covered in wounds, unless he had some ulterior motives …"
Kieran nodded and looked at Mary who lowered her head in silence.
He hesitated for a while before continuing.
"Although on the night he made his move, he drugged your food with some kind of sleeping potion, causing you to fall into a deep sleep that night, he still suspected that your mother knew everything from the start. When he realized your mother had arranged a backup plan, he was even more certain of it. So, he started to disguise himself again. He hoped to complete his mission easily like before and get what he wanted. "
"Too bad, he miscalculated the time I arrived!"
"If I had arrived a little later, Sergourney would have launched a massive attack. He would have played the role of a heavily injured yet brave savior. Not only to deceive you, but also that imperial envoy in hiding. He wanted to spread the news through Sergourney's mouth."
"Galeart never put all his eggs in one basket."
After that, Kieran leaped up on the spot.
He dived into the tree crown and touched the bird's nest on the branch.
A sealed scroll appeared in Kieran's hand.
At the same time, the system notification sounded.
Words started to appear in Kieran's vision.
[Discovered key mission item …]
