Ronin had never imagined he would be the target of an assassination.
After all, his domain was nestled deep in the remote mountains. It would take a monumental effort for an assassin to even reach it, especially since heavy snow had sealed the mountain passes just two days ago, making travel nearly impossible.
Just how much perseverance did this killer possess to brave the bitter cold and biting snow, crossing the vast, white expanse of the mountain forest just to take his life?
Ronin didn't know, nor did he have time to dwell on it.
Faced with the assassin's merciless attack, he had no time to hesitate. Ronin immediately pulled out the Guardian Armor Magic Scroll that Lurans had given him and infused it with Magic Power.

An earthen-yellow suit of Armor materialized over Ronin's entire body just as the sword struck. The assassin's slash produced a piercing screech of metal on metal, causing the spectral Armor to shudder violently.
