@vodkavodka So much this, it would be way more interesting and sexy than what we usually get.
I just highlighted why that's not true. Holy spirit for example is said to pretty much buff everything, you would think that includes mana since the power of the body is said to be linked to mana. Also hyper regen doesn't grow his mana, its the B-rank skill that was auto selected that does that. Which suggests he could have picked the B-rank skill separately. The passive mana theory also works against his current picks as he still needs the power to make and use something capable of overcoming the hero's passive mana when he's in a vulnerable position. The author pretty much f'ed up giving the choices he did and had to break his own setting (uncapping the MC's limit) to even make it slightly possible for the MC to find a method.Because of passive mana, none of the other skills would be possible. Super recovery was the only one that gives him the opportunity to grow his mana.
I also explained how he could make new opportunities with everything else and just like chant weaving there was no guarantee that it would mesh with his assassin skills. Also there is a reason chant weaving is the only thing I gave him credit for choosing because it simply had the highest possibility among everything to create something useable against the hero.As far as hoping he gets an opportunity with chant weaving, the point is that it lets him both rely on his previous skills and tactics as an assassin, and allows for a wider variety of opportunities to attack the hero, that is, he can MAKE new opportunities.
That's only thinking of things linearly. You're thinking of only ways in which he would directly use it against the hero. He's an assassin, that's not the only way to go about things. He could take over a member of the hero party and have them poison the hero or be the distraction during a critical moment. I never even implied that he would get the hero to kill himself.If he chose something like the slave crest, he would have to have the power to take over either the hero or someone strong enough to kill the hero. The way you mentioned is just not possible. It doesn't make sense to assume he could take over someone and convince the hero to kill themselves either as they wouldn't much of a threat to the world if they were so easily overcome by sentiment.
That's exactly what most of his skills are though. The hyper regen is useless in a fight against someone stronger, watch any vampire/immoral flick.He needs to be versatile and not have skills that could be unless in a fight with someone that has more and better skills.
Proof? Also you're just proving how much you're taking things at face value. From the spoiler Meridis has, he's pretty much going for just 'lets hit him with more firepower' route. Very overt for an assassination.Plus there is nothing wrong with his skills as you suggest and only time there would be was it he fought hero head on but this is "ASSASSINATION".
Again, if he's against someone so much stronger than him then escape would only be possible with a high rank skill and stats to match, he has neither. The Hero as set up could easily hunt him down or just prevent his escape with the current skills he has. Hence why he needed something universally good for specifically for getting out of sticky situations, instead he went with hyper regen and hand to hand combat with a body skill.He needs things to use in case he has to escape as well however, you don't know the situations he could find himself in neither does mc but at least he can adapt to it.
