After successfully assassinating the apprentice, Rhodes gained a large amount of experience points due to killing hero-level units. Using these experience points, Rhodes' current class is Tier 1 Militia Level 10, which meets the advanced standards.
According to Rhodes's original idea, there is no need to rush to raise the rank for now. It is most beneficial to wait until the battle is over, plan the path to be chosen in the future, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each profession before raising the rank.
Development options.
But under the current circumstances, there is no way to keep the experience points. Only by converting the experience points into one's own strength in time can we solve the enemy in front of us.
The location where the experience value was originally displayed in the attribute panel has now become an upward arrow, requiring Rhodes to make a conscious choice.
"Level 2 professional guard, required prerequisite occupation: militia. Required skills: none. Required experience for employment: 100"
"Level 2 professional swordsman, required prerequisite occupation: militia. Required skills: advanced swordsmanship. Required experience for employment: 200"
There was no time to read any further, so Rhodes directly chose to become an inaugural swordsman.
"200 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 185. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 1..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
"[Swordsman] Professional specialty: According to the level of swordsmanship, the damage caused is additionally increased. Current swordsmanship level: Advanced. The damage is increased by an additional 15%."
"You have learned the skill [Double Continuous Cut]."
"[Two consecutive slashes Level 1]: Consumes 5 energy and quickly performs two slashes. Each slash causes 80% damage of the basic attack power."
"Your skill [Heavy Slash lv2] has been upgraded to [Heavy Slash lv3]."
"You have obtained the racing achievement [Start the Journey]"
"[Embark on the journey]: Take up any second-level profession. The basic reward is 1 attribute. When worn, all damage is increased by 5%."
Rhodes quickly allocated the obtained attribute points to strength, and at the same time spent 3 skill points to upgrade his advanced swordsmanship to expert-level swordsmanship.
(Expert level swordsmanship: A long career of practicing swordsmanship has made you master-like in swordsmanship. Sword weapons will turn into magic in your hands. You can master any move at your fingertips. The damage caused by sword weapons is increased by 40%.
)
Realizing that the remaining experience points can still be upgraded by one level, Rhodes was about to continue to upgrade the level. The magic apprentice had already rushed to Rhodes, and Rhodes could only deal with its attack first.
Due to the experience of the Skeleton Warrior, Rhodes did not choose to resist the attack of the magic apprentice even if he was holding a shield. Instead, he fought with the magic apprentice and only used his shield to block it when he could not avoid it.
The surrounding undead creatures gradually gathered around. Since Rhodes was mostly dodging and never counterattacked, the magic apprentice no longer targeted Rhodes and began to attack the surrounding undead creatures.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes continued to choose to upgrade his level.
"100 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 85. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 2..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
At this time, the magic apprentice is attacking the undead creatures around him. He often kills the undead creatures with a few simple attacks, or even kills them instantly.
It is also a one-shot kill. Unlike Rhodes' superb swordsmanship skills, the magic apprentice relies more on the brute force brought by the burst of mana. This reckless burst can cause powerful damage in a short period of time.
, but because the body cannot bear it, it will seriously damage its own body.
No kind of creature will let mana explode in its body like this, even if it can bring extremely strong power in a short period of time. Only the undead can withstand the horror of blood vessels bursting inch by inch from the body, because they have already
Unable to feel pain.
Even if Rhodes ignores the magic apprentice, it won't take long for him to die due to exhaustion of mana, or even sooner due to complete physical collapse, but before that, it will be enough to clean up the undead creatures around him.
And Rhodes cannot get any experience points.
After allocating attribute points to strength, Rhodes thought about the apprentice's attack method and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Rhodes swung his sword several times to clear away some of the surrounding undead creatures. While the magic apprentice attracted the attention of most of the undead creatures, Rhodes came behind it.
At this time, the magic apprentice was attacking a walking corpse in front of him. The magic apprentice punched out, passed through the outstretched hands of the walking zombie, and directly imprinted on the chest of the walking zombie. While the chest of the walking corpse was dented, the magic apprentice punched out.
The apprentice's own arm also spurred a stream of blood.
Seeing this, Rhodes knew that the magic apprentice could no longer withstand the side effects of the mana burst. After all, its original body was only a second-level apprentice, and its body had not been trained and could not withstand the mana burst for too long.
While the magic apprentice was attacking the walking corpse, Rhodes held up his shield and rushed towards it.
In the state of mana burst, the body of the magic apprentice is as hard as steel. It has blocked sword weapons many times before and said that sharp weapons cannot cause effective damage to the magic apprentice.
Therefore, Rhodes did not choose to attack the magic apprentice with a sword, but chose to use a shield. The best way to deal with the magic apprentice was to hit it with a blunt instrument to accelerate its body's collapse.
The skills acquired through Eagle Eye will always be saved. In order to increase the damage, Rhodes chose to learn [Shield Slam].
"[Shield Slam Lv1]: Consumes 10 energy points, uses the shield in hand to hit the enemy violently, causing 120% of the basic damage, with a certain chance of stunning the enemy. The experience required for upgrading is 20."
In order to ensure that this attack would be effective and not blocked by the magic apprentice, Rhodes used all the skills he could use.
[Charge], [Burst], and [Shield Bash], using these three skills at the same time requires a lot of energy. Once the expected effect is not achieved, Rhodes' remaining energy will be difficult to sustain in the next battle.
.
Even so, after finding the opportunity to kill the magic apprentice, Rhodes would not give it up in vain. Even if the chance was slim, Rhodes would still grab it.
The continuous use of three skills, coupled with his own determined will, charged Rhodes with a rainbow-like momentum. Even though he was still wearing tattered and unseemly leather armor, even if his shield was full of cracks, Rhodes
The momentum generated by the charge at this time even surpassed that of ordinary heavy-armed warriors!
There was only a loud noise, and the magic apprentice was hit hard on the back. The violent mana in his body was immediately stimulated, and the entire body of the magic apprentice began to crack.
Rhodes stabilized the shock after the collision, took this opportunity, stepped forward, and then hit the magic apprentice with a shield on the back.
Without giving the magic apprentice any chance, Rhodes continued to attack.
The powerful blow from the outside and the violent mana inside made the magic apprentice's body finally unable to bear it. Even though there was still remaining mana in his body, the magic apprentice lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground.
