My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 128 - 117: Transformation

Reya only felt the gaze from the other party as if it were tangible, cold and slick, as if it could penetrate the barrier of her body and see parts of her inner thoughts.

This immediately sent a chill through Reya’s body, her hairs standing on end.

But before she could say anything, ’Baron Olsen’ continued, "Come, my good daughter, it’s been a while. Come over, let your father take a good look."

The voice remained both familiar and strange.

Reya was thinking of refusing when suddenly, a cold gleam shot out from below the dining table, directly aiming at her abdomen.

"Crash!"

With only a slight tap of the toe, Reya shattered the solid wooden chair, her whole body yanked backward as if pulled by a strong rope, jumping back several meters.

Since Reya had already sensed something wrong with ’Father,’ she narrowly dodged the attack in the nick of time.

What had pierced at her was a thin sword.

Definitely not the Two-Handed Greatsword ’Father’ was skilled with. By now, Reya was a hundred percent certain the ’Father’ before her was someone in disguise.

"Whizz!"

Unrestrained, Reya landed with a bow in her hand, shooting an arrow like lightning.

But ’Father’ quickly dodged aside and chased after her.

"People, come!"

"There is an assassin!"

Several tall Leather Armor Swordsmen, whom Reya had seen before at the castle basement door, suddenly rushed in from the banquet hall doors, forming an enclosing attack from front and back.

"Damn!"

Reya’s heart sank at this.

However, as a core member of the Olsen Family, having lived in the Olsen Family castle for over a decade, Reya was privy to one or two secrets known only to her and her parents.

"Bang!"

Reya tapped her toe, and her whole body leaped through the banquet hall’s left window, shattering the glass as she landed, then rushed quickly up the stairs toward the castle’s tower.

Including ’Baron Olsen,’ six or seven Leather Armor Swordsmen pursued relentlessly.

Suddenly, Reya arrived at the staircase, shooting an arrow at the pursuers behind her, and immediately flickered slightly, a lifelike shadow lingering at the upward corner of the stairs, showing a hand ready to draw a bow.

She herself, however, quietly dashed down the stairs.

"Surround her from above." Seeing the opponent stop fleeing and try to rely on the corner to shoot arrows and resist, ’Baron Olsen’ smirked.

"Catch her alive."

"Yes!"

Three tall Leather Armor Swordsmen rushed down from the rooftop of an adjacent tower, while the other three slowly advanced with swords drawn.

"No!"

"Something’s wrong!" Suddenly, ’Baron Olsen’ blurted out.

And several swordsmen also noticed something amiss because the young woman with the bow remained in a standoff without shooting.

Though lifelike, staying motionless for seconds was very suspicious.

At that moment, as if the time was up, the bow-wielding female figure in front of them vanished like a bubble in the air.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, ’Baron Olsen’ understood that the opponent had used a spell similar to a Phantom Spell, distracting them with the illusion while she herself had already escaped.

His original plan was to keep the impact within a small range since many servants and guards in the castle were old hands who knew the Olsen Family’s miss.

"Quick, chase!"

Meanwhile, Reya had reached the first floor, her body moving like lightning, turning left, then two consecutive rights, entering a room, quickly opening an iron grate in the ground, leaping down, and covering the rectangular grate again.

This was the castle’s underground waterway, leading to a cliff.

"Splash! Splash!"

Reya’s leather boots splashed in the water, her whole being still somewhat in shock.

The recent events were far beyond her expectations.

Her father, Baron Olsen, had been ’replaced’ by someone else!

Yes, replaced.

’Is it a First Level Spell of Disguise Spell?’

’No, certainly not. Disguise Spell only lasts for an hour, but the opponent showed no urgency about the spell wearing off, even having lunch with me; moreover, the arrow nearly grazed their face, if it were an illusion from Disguise Spell, it would likely ripple.’

’Even improved Disguise Spell shouldn’t reach this level.’

’Wait, the opponent’s pupils flashed a change in color.....’

’Damn, I know it! It’s a Shapeshifter! A rare Shapeshifter!’

In an instant, Reya was shocked, chills running through her.

Because Shapeshifters are extremely rare, said to have been exterminated by humans across the continent during ancient times due to their danger. Moreover, their fertility rate is very low, and mastering Transformation Ability takes several decades.

Thus, the number of existing Shapeshifters is extremely limited.

Advanced Mages once estimated the entire Valzeg Continent has only a few thousand left, many of whom reside in the Underdark.

And precisely because of this.

If a force could raise Shapeshifters as helpers, the magnitude of its power would be imaginable.

’What about the real whereabouts of my father?’

’And... could my mother’s death be related to this Shapeshifter too?’

Reya once again thought of a trait of Shapeshifters, said to meticulously mimic someone, they would observe and mimic the target’s behavior over a long period.....

Suddenly, Reya’s mind was a bit chaotic, unsure of what to do next.

’Should I seek out my father’s friend or directly find Dorne City’s Governor, Count Lillard?’
