Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 235

"Ha, this is torture", the shadow muttered to itself.

It has been months since he found the person whom he believed to be his master, but he couldn’t properly verify that.

The reason he thought this person was his master was because of a ring that the boy was wearing, the Death Devourer Ring.

Though the shadow had not followed the group that went to the Capital, City of Valora, where Aaron got that ring, the shadow saw it on Aaron’s ring and immediately decided to follow him in shadows, thinking that the boy was most likely his master.

The ring once belonged to his master. After his master died, the ring never accepted anyone as its true wearer again.

Though it still gave some boosts, it was not as much as he had heard from his master.

Before his master died, he left a message for him. It told him the precautions to take in case something happened to him. If not for the message, he too would have died then.

His master died due to betrayal. If not, no one could have defeated him, especially with the equipment and skills he possessed.

The shadow has scattered the equipment per his master’s final request. The message told him why his master wanted to scatter the equipment, not store it in one place.

His master had smelled the betrayal beforehand, even making a message for him, but he always wondered why he didn’t save himself if he knew about that beforehand.

This was a question that he found an answer to, which he wanted to ask his master when he found him again. Though in the message, there was no direct hint of him being reborn, over the years, the shadow slowly understood the words.

He will be reborn, and that was probably why he was told to scatter the equipment. No one part would be close to another as he scattered them.

Of course, some of them were found, but they showed weak status, and they were moved from place to place.

For the first time, after many years, he finally saw the equipment showing its true power.

"The Death Devourer Ring, that was the master’s, and he wears it perfectly, but he has yet to show any special skills that belonged to the master", the shadow muttered to itself.

The ring was giving the actual boost that it was supposed to give him, and he even heard the boy saying the ring’s name and even commenting about the equipment set.

When he heard those words, he was sure that the boy was his master, but except that the boy is also a Death professional and has the ring, he found almost no similarities.

He observed that there were a few facial features similar, but not entirely. That’s the max similarity he found between his master and the boy.

Though they were both Death Professionals, he heard that the Boy’s profession was Death Mage same as his master’s, but the boy’s rank was only at S-rank, while his master’s was SSS-rank. His master was the only one with SSS-rank in this world.

As the holder of such a high-ranking profession, his skills worked differently in contrast to others.

Aaron, who was originally an S-rank awakener, can use his Undead Summon skill to summon five undead at Rank-0. This is the same for his master too, but when he reached Rank-7, the number increased by a lot.

It was as if he had almost a twenty at the start. Even what increased per skill rank increase also increased by 5 times. It was not just quantity that increased, but also the quality. Once he crossed Rank-7, he became untouchable.

With large swarms of undead, wherever he went, the enemies fled in terror or kneeled, fearing that he would release those undead on them.

It was not just that, he had some special skills from the start, even before he crossed Rank-7, which has put him at the front. These skills were the most powerful skills he had ever seen in his life. No one has even come close to him when he used those special skills.

If the boy has shown any of his master’s special skills, he would have eclared that the boy is his master, but he didn’t.

"Maybe this is some sort of protection", the shadow believed.

Even his powerful master was killed back then, and the boy was no where near what his master was at his age. If he shows too much power at such age, the enemies from back then would surface again to end him before he can become a menace.

"If not for that bastard...Sigh, things would have been much better", the shadow muttered as his memories resurfaced, thinking about the betrayal that his master suffered.

So, if there was a protection, revealing himself might cause problems, which he didn’t want to happen and decided to silently watched the boy grow. Even though he couldn’t hold a candle to his master back then, the boy was growing faster than others of this age.

Though he couldn’t personally watch everything, as he couldn’t enter the dungeons that the boy entered, but he could feel the growth of the boy whenever he returned from the dungeons.

He was surprised with how he outsmarted the kids who wanted to harm him or how he and the girls dealt with the bandits.

Though he can’t exctly show himself to congratulate his possible new master, it was quite entertaining for most of the time.

It changed when the boy was sent to another city for guard duty. When they reached, it was found that he was not actually assigned guard duty but as a paper pusher.

It was not what made his feel the torture. It was because of the equipment that he stored near where this city stands now.

The shadow watched Aaron looking at a certain distance when they arrived, which clued him that Aaron felt the equipment. The notion of him being his master’s reincarnation became stronger. He wanted to see if he could retrieve that, but Aaron made no movements.

He only did his work and nothing more than that.

The shadow was not someone who was accustomed to sitting down in situations like this. If Aaron claims the equipment he stored here, then he would one hundred percent acknowledge him as his master’s reincarnation.

He wanted to see, but Aaron’s inactivity bored him, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t actively show himself as that would attract unwanted attention, which may harm his possible master.

Boom!

"Huh, what’s that? Looks like things would get interesting soon", the shadow smiled and disappeared into the shadows, blending well with the shadows.
