Mage Veigar

Chapter 150 Assassin 37
Learned through conversation with Messenger No. 1.

Shadow Mage Squadron.

This is the only high-level combat force of the Third Army composed entirely of shadow mages, and also the only mage squadron that can compete with the Judgment Legion of the Judgment System. The team has a total of 40 people, including 4 heralds and 36 assassins.

The system is completely different from that of other mage squadrons.

The entire team does not use real names and is referred to by code names.

传令者1-4号，暗杀者1-36号, 而维迦的代号是暗杀者37。

Each code name is equivalent to a position. Once a Shadow Mage leaves the Shadow Mage Squadron, the code name will be vacant, waiting for the next Shadow Mage to take over.

But Veigar is an exception.

His number 37 is a special code for overstaffing. This code is only for Veigar to use once. Once this mission is over, Veigar leaves the Shadow Mage Squadron and this code is cancelled.

In terms of system.

There is no hierarchy in the Shadow Mage Squadron; the status of the messenger and the assassin is the same.

The difference is that the messengers are responsible for delivering the command and information of the headquarters to the 9 assassins they are responsible for, as well as providing logistical assistance and finishing the mission, which is probably a non-frontline job similar to that of an assistant.

But even so, don't underestimate any messenger.

As the ace mage squadron of the Third Army directly under the command, no soldier is mediocre. Even a messenger can easily take the life of an enemy mage in war.

Therefore in combat.

The Shadow Mage Squadron never cooperates in combat, and will never fight as a group. They act independently, relying on their own unique and powerful combat skills to kill the mission targets given by the military.

That's right, Shadowmage is a lone wolf.

Collective action will only hinder the display of their own uniqueness. Only by giving them full freedom can the true formidable power of this force be brought into play.

Generally speaking, in previous wars, each Shadow Mage would have his own independent goal, but this time it was different. This time, the Shadow Mage Squadron had only one goal -

Bruno Valencia.

It is entirely conceivable that Bruno was targeted by a group of shadow mages who were proficient in various assassination techniques. Not to mention that this was Kareni, even if it was the capital of the United Kingdom, Bruno's death would have been a foregone conclusion.

The last total war.

The most brilliant achievement of the Shadow Mage Squadron was the battle behind enemy lines, where they beheaded 18 members of the enemy's First Army, including the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff. Although 9/10 of the team members died in a foreign land, they laid the foundation for the victory of the Third Army and made the Kingdom Army shudder at the mention of Shadow.

I don’t know if Foster thinks too highly of Vega.

As a second-level shadow mage, he was assigned to the Shadow Mage Squadron. At the same time, he also received the first order from the messenger in front of him, to assassinate Bruno Valen within 10 days.

The commands were simple, so simple that there weren't even basic instructions or detailed directions.

Veigar had never even met his teammates. The only person he was familiar with was the Herald 1 in front of him.

"Lieutenant Veigar, this is the emblem of the Shadow Mage Squadron."

Herald 1 handed Veigar a dark red armband with a red eagle embroidered on it. "This is the honor of the Shadow Mage Squadron. It is also a symbol of identification. During the operation, you are not allowed to take it off without permission at any time."

“Understood.” Vega said solemnly.

Herald 1 nodded in satisfaction, then saluted Veigar and said, "Assassin 37, welcome to join the Mage Squadron. May the shadow be with you."

“For victory.” Veigar returned the salute. Herald 1 lowered his salute hand, then smiled and said, “Assassin 37, the combat mission has begun from now on. As a senior, I still need to teach you one last lesson. Are you ready?”

"Last lesson?"

"Yes, the last lesson."

The Herald 1 finished speaking, and then a silver light flashed, and a dagger was already on the neck of Veigar's mirror: "Shadow Mage walks with death, and this last lesson is that at any time, do not lose your vigilance, even when facing friendly forces."

Vega, who was in stealth, was shocked.

Vega was not shocked by Messenger 1's words. What he didn't expect was that this Messenger actually had a ninth dagger, and this ninth dagger was hidden in Messenger 9's throat.

Is this something that ordinary people can do?

Using the body as a sheath and hiding the sword in the belly, what kind of superb skills are needed to be able to achieve this.

Vega finally understood what it meant to be truly smiling but with a dagger hidden behind one's back.

Pulling out the specially made thin dagger from his mouth, Messenger 1's voice was no longer hoarse, but became clear and pleasant: "Assassin 37, are you satisfied with this lesson? According to the squadron's rules, I can leave a mark of mine on you as tuition, please don't mind."

The dagger is slightly close to the skin.

The mark of Herald 1 is a tiny scar that will remain permanently on the throat of the teammate who has suffered from him. This scar is used to warn teammates not to lose vigilance at any time.

Even he himself has suffered a lot from his teammates. He has more than 20 known scars on his body, located on his chest, back of the neck, wrists...

As Vega is a newcomer, of course he needs to be the messenger to teach the first lesson.

But something he didn't expect happened -

When the dagger cut through the skin, it did not leave a scar as he had imagined, but the entire mirror image shattered again.

He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, without saying a word for a long time.

After a long silence, he said, "You are the most afraid of death among all the shadow mages I have ever seen, and you are the most convincing in your use of mirror magic... Barely one."

Messenger 1 left.

He left Vega’s room with a look of as if he had seen a ghost.

Generally speaking, few shadow mages would practice mirror image magic, an illusion magic that has no offensive power, because in order to make the replica so lifelike, the mirror image must be practiced to the highest level.

This kind of magic takes a long time to take effect and cannot be put into actual combat as soon as it is practiced. No wizard would spend a lot of energy to learn it.

It was only until just now that Herald 1 truly realized how disgusting the pinnacle of mirror image was. Even a level 3 shadow mage like him couldn't handle this transformation, let alone an ordinary elemental mage...

Just thinking about the enemy made Messenger 1 feel desperate.

At this moment he finally understood the commander-in-chief's ability to judge people. Such a monster newcomer was indeed qualified to join the Shadow Mage Squadron and conduct high-level assassination operations.

at the same time.

Vega revealed his true form in the room.

Even he himself was full of surprises about the magic of mirror image.

As expected, there is no useless magic in this world, only useless magicians. As long as the magic is used properly, even a high-level magician can still play with it at will.
