Capítulo 66: Sato's Class Upgrade

"What?" A traceless shadow appeared right behind TeaseMePlease's back.

Before he had gotten a chance to turn his head, the assassin had already slashed the neck of the Magic Knight. A glint of the blade, a swipe of his hand, TeaseMePlease was instantly killed.

He didn't even have the time to say what he wanted to say to Mars. Despicable. Under-handed. Yet, he couldn't really blame the War God, Mars since this was afterall a war and where a team battle was necessary to win. Still, he was rather salty that he had to call for an assassin to finish him off.

The body of TeaseMePlease started to disappear. A man dressed in a dark cloth-wear, his face covered with a mask. The assassin emitted an aura of death as he stood in the middle of the finished battle. His hands were holding onto a pair of Cresent looking blades that glinted without any light reflecting on it. He was the one who finished off TeaseMePlease instantly. He was none other than Sato.

...

Going back 30 minutes in the past, Sato was lying sprawled on the ground, awaiting his eminent death. The spells from Tyron's mages had already been prepared. In 3 seconds he would die and his first mission of infiltration into the Dragoon Family would all become a failure.

"Bzoom!" The spells were released at breakneck speed. Sato closed his eyes awaiting his death. He had always hated dying in this game. It may be painless, yet the feeling of dying felt all too real emotionally. Back then when he was part of Tyron's guild, dying was a regular occurrence for him. Everytime he did, it would make him shudder from head to toe when he leaves ROL.

Huh? Sato opened his eyes in confusion. Why wasn't I dead? What came next surprise the young man. A tall lean fit man had stood in front of Sato and blocked every spell for him. From his familiar looking back, he looked like every handsome prince that came to save the princess in their time of need.

"Gray?" Immediately after blocking the spells, a smoke cover gave Gray a timely escape route. Gray smoothly picked up the injured Sato as he zoomed out of the scene. Sato was confused from what had happened, but chose to stay put in Gray's embrace.

This may be a game and so there was no temperature sensors, however, his heart felt warm at this point in time. After running and hiding behind a secluded group of trees, Gray was finally willing to talk.

"You were going to ask how I knew you were there?" Gray predicted Sato's question, where by the boy nodded in agreement.

"I was watching you from the internet broadcast on the way back from work. Thus, I had a vague idea of where you were." That was a lie. Gray had not only been watching on the way back, but all the way from the start of the war until the time he came on. Heck, he wanted to personally kill Tyron when he spoke illy of Sato.

"Oh that makes sense," Sato said while drinking up a potion. He looked at the handsome man that was looking out for enemies nearby. His chiseled face and his blue eyes didn't change even after the visual alteration. "Thanks for saving me, Gray."

"There's no need to thank me. It's my duty to protect you. I even almost failed if I had come a second later." Gray spoke guiltily.

"Well, you did save me so there's no need to be guilty. Besides, is the data breach in your department fixed up?"

"Yeah, all fixed. That trojan was eliminated an hour after I arrived. However, I had to stay in the office to investigate the loophole they exploited."

"That's good then," Sato sighed in relief. He had thought that Gray abandoned his work early just to play games. "Well, now that you are here, let us carry out the next course of action!"

"Dawnlore is out of combat. You have reached level 30 and is eligible for class promotion. There are two routes that you can choose from. The Dark Elf or the Light Elf route." The system notification sounded in Sato's head.

"The Dark Elves are specialised in close and far range combat battles, where as the Light Elves are specialised in damage spells and healing. The Dark Elves are more oriented to Agility based stats, while the Light Elves are oriented to the Intelligence based stats. When the path is chosen, you will not be able to switch over in the future. Please decide carefully."

Within hesitation, Sato chose the Dark Elves pathway. He had been allocating the majority of his stats to agility from the get go. When chosen, Sato had an opaque glow surrounding him.

His character was changing visibly. The major difference was the skin colour. He was once very fair, but now it had become a blueish grey tint. His eye colour had become a red hue that looked like rubies trapped in his eye.
