Chapter 5

In a wink, Luka and Siegfried found themselves in a city of middle age in Germany.

"Siegfried where are we?" Luka asked.

Siegfried said nothing that made Luka puzzled, but Siegfried soon answered his question with a nostalgic look, "We are at the very beginning of my legend, the legend of the dragon slayer." Siegfried said, pointing with his finger at a place.

Luka followed his gaze and saw Siegfried walking in the streets as the crowd stared at him in admiration.

Luka could see that Siegfried had a real smile.

Siegfried also looked at this scene with a distant look and finally said: "Come on, let's continue to see what's next."

Luka nodded to accept.

Luka saw how the nobles asked Siegfried to kill the Dragon who terrorized the people, destroyed their crops and their livestock.

Siegfried accepted in the name of his dream to become an ally of justice.

Luka saw Siegfried's fight against Fafnir where Siegfried gained his invulnerability and found that a single sheet became his greatest weakness.

Luka found the fight of Siegfried grandiose "Siegfried you are incredible to kill such a powerful dragon as a simple human."

Siegfried only waved his head as he continued to look at himself bathed in Fafnir's blood.

From that moment the Luka saw how Siegfried was beginning to help anyone who needed his help and the people were admiring him more and more but the more Siegfried was doing heroic feats the more admiration turned into fear of the strength that Siegfried possessed.

Luka finally saw the beginning of Siegfried's downfall, the moment he married Kriemhilde and led his family to power after many battles and finally, Luka saw the plot of Siegfried's brother-in-law that led him to his death and saw Siegfried ask Hagen to kill him and bear all the blame.

Luka found the link between the two friends extremely moving, Hagen supports the hatred of countless people and the weight of the murder of his friend.

After witnessing the peaceful death of Siegried in a forest all that was around Luka and the real Siegfried black diviner, they ended up in front of the other servants.

Siegfried looked at Luka and said to him "Now Luka, tell me, do you think that throughout my life I have the right choice?"

Luka looked at Siegfried and he answered quickly "We can not know if these are the right choices because we can not know the future, but one thing is certain I will never comply with the good wishes of others I will be free from any constraint."

Hearing this Gilgamesh nodded with a broad smile? Siegfried meanwhile lowered his head and began to mumble "... We can not know if these are the right choices because we can not know the future ...".

Siegfried put it on his head and asked, "Tell me then, what would you do to yourself?"

Luka simply says, "I'll help people who need help as long as it's within my limits and for your decision on Kriemhilde, I would have done something else ..." Luka muttered under her breath.

Siegfried as heroic spirit and half dragon heard him and asked: "What would you have done?"

Luka looked at Siegfried hesitantly and finally said with a sigh, "Knowing the plot I will kill the Burgundian King, your brother-in-law for cheating on me, and then I'll take Kriemhilde and flee with her."

Siegfried looked at Luka for a long time, who saw different emotions such as regret, guilt, and different emotions. Finally, Siegfried nodded towards Luka and went to the side of the other heroic spirits.

Luka looked at the two remaining heroic spirits for inheritance who were Hassan Sabbah, aka "The Old Man of the Mountain", and Lancelot as Berserker.

Looking at the last two remaining heroic spirits, Luka began to have cold sweats and he could see Solomon, Iskandar, Karna, Siegfried, and even Gilgamesh looking at him with pity.

As Luka waited for the next trial, Hassan Sabbah stepped forward.

Luka understood that it was the next and uncertain he asked: "Mr. Sabbah what will be my trial?"

Hearing how Luka spoke to Assassin, Solomon and Iskandar began shouting "Oi, why are you addressing him as Mr. and we called you by our first name directly!" Iskandar shouted and Solomon shook his head behind him.

Luka saw Karna staring at him intently and Gilgamesh stared at him furtively he said in a weak voice, "It's scary,"

When Luka said that simple sentence he felt four pressure fall on him, he saw Solomon, Iskandar, Karna and Gilgamesh staring at him, and Gilgamesh said, "So if you get scared you'll call us Mr. Gilgamesh." with a cold look.

Luka swallowed and he felt cold sweat running down his back.

Finally, Luka felt the pressure disappear and Gilgamesh sniffed "Hmph" and the others turned away.

Iskandar looked at him and said with a broad smile, "We were laughing kid, it was a joke."

"A joke my ass!" Luka shouted in his heart.

When everything was over Luka turned his attention to Hassan Sabbah and asked, "So what will be my trial with you?"

Hassan Sabbah did not say anything he did not advance to Luka who wanted to back away and when Hassan was close enough to Luka he put his hand on the head of Luka and said in a cold voice "you have to survive" while the flames blue in his eyes shone.

Luka heard this sentence and did not understand what he wanted to say, and before he could ask for the meaning of his sentence he was plunged into darkness or only the area around him was illuminated with a sword in his hand.

Finally, a person appeared in sight of Luka who turned out to be a successor to Hassan.

"It looks like the assassin Iskandar faced in Fate / zero." thought Luka, who warned them with his sword.

Thanks to the trials of Karna and Siegfried, Luka gained a slight experience of battles and he felt the murderous energy of this masked figure with a dagger in his hand.

As Luka waited for his opponent to attack him, he stepped back into the darkness and Luka was surprised because only the area around him was illuminated.

Luka did not lower his guard and continued to be on the lookout, but as he looked around him, a figure came out of his blind spot which with his dagger slashed Luka's leg.

"Aaaah, my leg !!!" Luka looked at his leg to finally see a wound on his thigh.

Luka began to swear "Shit, he's hiding." he said, looking around him like crazy.

Despite Luka's concentration, he never managed to catch the assassins hiding in the shadows and finally, his whole body was riddled with wounds.

Luka kept looking around, but I started to think, "I have to calm down, calm down Luka." Luka began to breathe slowly to calm down and analyze his opponent.

Luka began to think and analyze his opponent "I know he always attacks blind spots but I can not feel it coming ..." while Luka continues to think his opponent continued to attack him but Luka also began to adapt to his adversary and finally, he began to deviate with his sword the attacks of the assassins.

The fighting began to balance but Luka could never fight back because he could not feel it attacking to get ready and finally a skill he had when he gained his Nasuverse power came back to him.

"That's right, I owned the" Presence Detection: D- "skill." thought Luka.

Luka glanced and he understood how this skill worked.

"This skill is a passive skill but it needs Mana to work." Luka understood.

Luka had all the skills listed in his memory but he had not taken care to see their usefulness.

"When I finish the inheritance process I have to voice how these skills can be used properly, otherwise I will be like someone who had a car but could not drive." Luka thought.

Luka activated the "Presence Detection: D-" skill and felt 1/25 of his mana be used.

"This skill is extremely useful but I am still inexperienced in the battlefields to use them to their fullest." thought Luka.

"After finishing the inheritance process I have to start the training to maximize all the skills I possessed because also I would also have those Gilgamesh, Solomon and the others to master." thought Luka.

Luka could only sigh, thinking of all the work that awaits him.

Meanwhile, Luka concentrated and tried to feel his opponent, immediately Luka felt movement with his perception.

Luka pretended to feel nothing and finally, the assassins unleashed an attack on his left side.

Luka shouted in his heart "Well, I caught you, dirty eel."

Luka felt the assassin rush towards him at breakneck speed and as the assassin prepared to leap on Luka, Luka dodged back half a step and made a sword stroke from bottom to left at the size of the assassin.

The assassin did not expect it because it was cut in half at the waist.

Luka, on seeing this scene, knelt down and began vomiting bile, letting go of his sword.

After a few minutes, Luka recovered and remembered that he was on a battlefield and remembered that he could have "died" in the lawsuit and had no inheritance.

Luka blamed himself "I have to concentrate and not let myself be affected by these things, in a real battlefield I'll already be killed," Luka said loudly remembering the battlefields as he watched the life of Siegfried.

Luka got up and took his sword and put himself in a median guard while having his active skill.

After five minutes Luka felt movement in the shadows and he focused on the current battle.

Finally, Luka felt the assassin attack him but Luka could not react quickly enough and the assassin caused him a slight arm wound and this surprised Luka "He is faster than the previous assassin.

The fight continued and finally, Luka emerged victoriously but he began to think "Will all the next killers have their prowess increased?" Luka thought, then he added, "This is going to be a problem." Luka thought, frowning.

When the next opponent finally came and Luka received the attack from the assassin, Luka confirmed his theory, the next opponents will only become more powerful.

Luka sighed and said while finishing his opponent while he had several wounds all over his body "It's going to be really boring to kill those killers who will become stronger and stronger." Luka shook his head.

While waiting for his next opponent Luka wanted to take a look at his "Presence Detection: D-" skill because he could feel he could use it more easily than his first fight and he could feel further and more effectively the attacks that targeted him.

Luka looked at his system to see his skill and he noticed that she had changed notes she went from "D-" to "D".

Luka felt happy even though she had increased slightly because he understood how to improve some skills, and that was to fight to the death.

"Then I can increase other skills now during the trial, seeing which ones to use before my next opponent comes," Luka said.

Luka looked at the skills he could use in combat to improve them and he selected "concealment of presence: C +" and "mastery of the sword: F-". He does not choose "Magic: D-" because the only way to improve it was through research, not combat.

"So if I want to become stronger, I have to fight," Luka concludes.

Unconsciously Luka licked his lips with a crazy smile, Luka did not know it was the first change in him, who created a legend.

Finally, his opponent showed himself and Luka looked at him with a predatory glow.

Luka took a guarded posture with the sword in the back and he rushed to the assassin who was trying to blend in with the darkness, but he did not expect Luka to follow him.

Luka looked at the murderer and thought with determination: "I'm going to kill everything that gets in my way and become the most powerful being," with a crazy smile.
