Chapter 12: The Apprentice of Magical Energy II

After successfully assassinating the apprentice, Rhodes gained a lot of experience points for killing heroic units. With these experience points, Rhodes' current rank is 10 Tier 1 Militia, which meets the criteria for advancement.

According to Rod's original idea, there is no need to rush to upgrade the rank at present. After the battle is over, the most beneficial choice is to plan a wave of future paths, as well as analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each class, and then move up the ranks.

But in the current situation, there is no way to continue to keep the experience points, and only by converting the experience points into their own strength in time can they solve the enemy in front of them.

The location of the stats panel that originally displayed experience points was now an upward arrow, which Rhodes had to choose with his consciousness.

"Tier 2 class guard, required pre-class: militia. Skill Required: None. Experience required: 100"

"Tier 2 Class Swordsman, Required Pre-Class: Militia. Skill required: Advanced swordsmanship. Experience required: 200"

"Tier 2 class scout, required pre-class: militia. Required Skills: Beginner Swordsmanship, Beginner Eagle Eye, Beginner Scouting. Experience required: 200"

“……”

Without time to look any further, Rhodes directly chose to be an inaugural swordsman.

"Consume 200 XP and have 185 XP remaining. Class level increased to Tier 2 Swordsman Tier 1......"

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"

"[Swordsman] Class Specialty: Depending on the level of swordsmanship, the damage dealt will be increased by an additional amount. Current Sword Skill Level: Advanced. Damage bonus by 15%. ”

"You've learned the skill [Double Slash]."

"[Double Slash Lv1]: Consumes 5 energy and quickly performs two slashes. Each slash deals 80% of base attack damage. ”

"Your skill [Heavy Slash Lv2] has been increased to [Heavy Slash Lv3]."

"You've earned the Race Achievement [Embark on the Quest]"

"[Embarking on a journey]: Employ any second-order profession. Base bonus +1 for all stats, increases all damage by 5% while worn. ”

Rhodes quickly allocates the stat points he gains to strength, and consumes 3 skill points to upgrade his advanced swordsmanship to expert swordsmanship.

(Expert swordsmanship: A long career in sword training has made you a master in swordsmanship, and sword weapons will turn decay into magic in your hands, and you can use any move at your fingertips.) 40% increased damage dealt by sword weapons)

Realizing that the remaining experience points could be increased by one level, Rhodes was about to continue to increase the level, but the magic apprentice had already rushed to Rhodes' side, and Rhodes could only deal with his attacks first.

Due to the experience of the skeleton warriors, even with a shield, Rhodes did not choose to resist the attacks of the magic apprentices, but fought with the magic apprentices, and only used the shield to block when he couldn't dodge.

The surrounding undead creatures gradually surrounded him, and because Rhodes was more dodging and had not fought back, the target of the magic apprentice's attack was no longer locked on Rhodes, and instead began to attack the surrounding undead creatures.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rod continued to choose to continue to move up the ranks.

"Consume 100 XP and have 85 XP remaining. Class level increased to Tier 2 Swordsman Tier 2......"

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"

At this time, the magic apprentice was attacking the surrounding undead creatures, often killing the undead creatures with a few simple attacks, or even killing them in seconds.

It is also a one-hit kill, not as superb swordsmanship as Rhodes, and the magic apprentice relies more on the brute force brought by the explosion of mana. This reckless outburst can wreak great damage in a short period of time, but can severely damage its own body because it is too much for the physical body to bear.

No creature would allow mana to explode in its body like this, even if it could bring extremely strong power in a short period of time. The horror of blood vessels cracking inch by inch from their bodies can only be endured by the undead, because they can no longer feel the pain.

Even if Rhodes didn't bother with the Demon Apprentice, it wouldn't be long before he would die from running out of mana, or collapse from a complete collapse of his flesh sooner, but it would be enough to clean up the surrounding undead creatures before that, and Rhodes wouldn't be able to gain any experience points.

Assigning attribute points to strength, Rhodes thought about the apprentice's attack method for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Rhodes swung a few swords and cleared some of the undead creatures around him. Taking advantage of the fact that the Apprentice of Magical Energy had attracted the attention of most of the undead creatures, Rhodes came to its rear.

At this moment, the Apprentice of Magical Energy was attacking a walking corpse in front of him. The magic apprentice punched out, passed through the walking corpse's outstretched hands, and directly imprinted on the walking corpse's chest, denting the walking corpse's chest, and the magic apprentice's own arm also stirred up a stream of blood.

Seeing this, Rhodes knew that the magic apprentice could no longer bear the side effects of the mana explosion. After all, its original body was only a second-order apprentice, and its physical body had not been trained, so it couldn't withstand the explosion of mana for too long.

While the Magical Apprentice attacked the walking corpse, Rhodes propped up his shield and rushed towards it.

In the state of mana explosion, the hardness of the body of the magic apprentice is comparable to steel, and it has repeatedly blocked sword weapons before, and it has also said that sharp weapons are difficult to cause effective damage to the magic apprentice.

Therefore, instead of using a sword to attack the Magical Apprentice, Rhodes chose to use a shield. The best way to deal with an apprentice is to use a blunt object to speed up the collapse of his body.

The skills obtained through Eagle Eye will always be saved, and in order to increase the damage, Rhodes chose to learn [Shield Slam].

[Shield Slam Lv1]: Consumes 10 energy, use the shield in your hand to hit the enemy violently, dealing 120% of the base damage, and has a chance to stun the enemy. Experience required to level up: 20. ”

To make sure that this attack would work, and not be blocked by the Magic Apprentice's backhand, Rhodes used all the skills he could use.

[Charge], [Burst], and [Shield Slam], these three skills are used at the same time, and they need to consume a lot of energy. If it doesn't have the desired effect, Rhodes' remaining stamina will be difficult to sustain for the rest of the battle.

Even so, after finding an opportunity to kill the Magical Apprentice, Rhodes would not give it up in vain. Even if the chances are slim, Rhodes has to catch them.

The continuous use of the three skills, coupled with his own resolute will, Rod in the charge brought up a rainbow-like momentum. Even if he was still wearing tattered and unseemly leather armor, even if the shield was full of cracks, the momentum brought by Rhodes' charge at this time even surpassed that of ordinary hoplites!

Only a loud bang was heard, and the magic apprentice was hit hard in the back. The violent mana in his body was suddenly stimulated, and the magic apprentice's whole body began to crumble.

Rhodes stabilized the shock after the collision, and took the opportunity to step forward, followed by another shield strike, hitting the magic apprentice in the back.

Without giving the Magical Apprentice any chance, Rhodes continued to attack.

The powerful blow from the outside world, coupled with the violent mana inside, finally couldn't withstand the physical body of the magic apprentice. Even with the remaining mana in his body, the magic apprentice lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground.
