"Also… the way you move in battle. Your absolute exploitation of your opponent's weaknesses. I heard you led your team against the Ember Hunter using that approach."
He smiled wider.
"That leads me to believe it might be a mental blessing… or perhaps a visual one that functions through your eyes."
Asterion's smile broadened.
"That's three. And counting Legendary Weapons Master… that makes four."
Yet he still didn't stop.
"And then there's something else," Asterion continued calmly. "You said Mathius was a boss of Saint rank."
He gestured toward the dark katana beside him.
"But this katana… this is not the kind of weapon that would come from a Saint. At the very least, it's something that would come from a King."
His gaze returned to Ethan.
"So you lied for some reason. And my intuition tells me that reason involves a fifth blessing… perhaps something related to your level. What do you think?"
Silence filled the hall.
