XP ...... By the way, the experience points, he almost forgot about it, and only cared to make sure that his opponent was dead, or if these damn demons had really been driven back into the abyss from the main plane by his greatsword.

Then upgrade by the way, anyway, the mental operation at the level of consciousness doesn't take much time, as long as your brain moves fast enough.

Game system, stats panel, upgrade options –

[Note: This operation will consume 10,700 idle experience, are you sure?] 】

Are you sure.

It's so sure it can't be any more sure – so hurry up!

[Then you pay experience points to increase the character's level]

[EXP -10700]

[Barbarian Level +1, Total Level +1, Attribute Points +1]

Well, done.

A large amount of idle experience is depleted, leaving a small fraction behind the experience point column in exchange for this upgrade to reach a total level of 20.

He said in his heart that finally, the threshold of career advancement was only one step away from him.

Castaño's combat power level is divided into pyramid-shaped gradient levels according to the level of the character, if the basic career period of the total level 1~10 and the formal career period before the advancement of level 11~20 are counted as a person's "growth stage", then the advanced career period of level 21~30 is roughly the "maturity stage" of that person, and after the awakening of soul talent at level 31~40, it officially enters the "formation stage", and begins to have the extraordinary realm of capital impact level 41~45 or even the legendary field of level 46~50.

However, Urs didn't think much about his advanced choice at this time, but by the way, he continued to allocate the fresh 1 attribute point to his own strength attribute, and then landed with Flomo's headless corpse one after another.

For example, the regular path of an advanced berserker is generally divided into two paths, the first path is to find a berserker as your trainer to guide you as a warrior to master the power of berserk (or as a barbarian you master the combat skills of a warrior, or you can improve your abilities in both areas to a stronger level as a barbarian).

The second path is much simpler, but also much more dangerous - if you can't find the right berserker trainer for you, you can of course catch the rage and passion of the berserker through a bloody battle for survival, which requires you to engage in a sustained high-intensity battle with less than 20% health, and stay undead to defeat your enemies and win the battle.

How long does that period take? How high does a high-intensity battle have to be? Urs can't be completely sure, after all, Castaño's official profile is this style, telling you that some things are something that you need to explore as you experience it, not to mention that in the previous life, he used the first way to complete the advancement in his gaming career.

Therefore, career advancement is not something that can be done in a moment.

Once on the ground, the young man continued to wield the cursed blade to clear the hordes of cowards around him, while looking for an opportunity to help the remaining adventurers of the Orichalcum take out the damned bab demons with Stonefist, Koto, and Eddie, who had intervened in the melee.

The strength of those bab demons is not as good as that of Orokanshut in the labyrinth of oil paintings. The battle continued for several minutes before the demons were defeated.

The Orichal Bronze Adventure Group suffered heavy losses. The deputy leader of these adventurers, the battle priest with the flail and the medium-sized steel shield, gasped violently, and took a moment to ease his almost exhausted physical strength, and after a while, he looked at the young man and thanked him: "Captain Urs, thank you for your timely rescue, I am Rundel, the deputy head of the Orichal. ”

The young man is also well-known in the adventurer circles of Twilight City, and several large groups of adventurers in the city recognize him.

Urs stepped on the corpse of a bab demon, pulled the cursed blade from its black corpse, looked back at Rundell, and glanced at several people behind the priest and the messy corpse, "That's all there is left of your regiment?" ”

"As you can see...... Randle gritted his teeth in pain and closed his eyes for a second, "we went out of town during the day on a mission, and before Carlos' spell slot was restored, this strange disaster exploded. ”

With that, he looked back at his companion...... Those who fell to the ground, including the corpse of their own mage leader.

Everyone from the Thorn Squad also gathered at this time, and everyone felt the sad atmosphere, and chose to be silent when they saw what was happening in front of them.

Even Koto, who lacked roots in his rectum, and Crow, who had a poisonous tongue, didn't say anything at this time, because the former's emotional intelligence was not limited by intellectual factors, and the latter was in no mood to satirize these adventurers in the city for the time being, and secretly thought about another thing.

That incident had something to do with her sister, who she remembered as a arachnid elf...... But she couldn't tell.

Before Xia could find everyone in the new round of battle, she hurriedly used her magic to deal with some simple injuries for the survivors present. Stonefist and Eddie glanced at each other and followed over to help the girl fight.

Groledon felt the pain of life and death between his companions, and then sighed, and walked over to comfort Rundell with the crossbow in his hand. He and Rundle knew each other and wanted each other to mourn during this difficult time.

The Eye of the Abyss hanging in the night sky silently looked down on everyone.

"Where are we going next?" Suddenly, Eddie, the captain of the guard, bandaged an adventurer from the Bronze Gate, and then broke the silence and asked his own question, "Everyone has seen that the big blood-red eyeball in the sky is constantly raining fire, and those burning raindrops turn into demons when they hit the ground, bombing and burning the city by the way. ”

His words immediately reminded everyone.

Urs stood with his greatsword upside down, staring sideways, thinking the same questions as him.

"Perhaps...... Should we check out the Adventurers' Guild? In the imitation, someone in the grombose spoke softly, and his tone was very unconfident.

"But the association is too far from here, in the main city gate area." Some people immediately thought it was inappropriate.

"Yes, the main city gate area is too far away, and there is a whole business district separated from here."

"Why don't you take a shortcut from downtown?"

"Don't be stupid, that pillar of fire originally rose from the direction of the administrative district in the city center, and it may be more dangerous over there!"

"We'd better find a nearby shelter, or God knows how many more such battles await us."

"The nearest shelter...... But where is the refuge? ”

"Alright, be quiet and listen to what Captain Urs has to say."

Rundle shook his head, motioning to his companions not to panic. Carlos is dead, and as the deputy head of the Orichalcum, he is now responsible for leading the surviving team members, even though he knows that his leadership skills are not necessarily great.

He wasn't as assertive as Carlos was when he was alive.

Then the pastor turned his attention to the young man again.

Urs looked at him, pondered, and thought to himself, where can I take you?

You leave your fate to me? But every corner of the city is now the scene of disaster, and I'm nowhere near as good as I was in my last life......

Hesitating, there was a sudden new movement from the other side of the place.

But the source of that movement is not another "shooting star" that fell to the ground.

It was a new team, and everyone reflexively looked over there, and the dwarven warrior Koto's eyes lit up, and he raised the war hammer in his hand and shouted in an effort to that side: "Hey, Sawyer, look this way!" I'm Koto! Koto of the Thorn Squad! ”

Like everyone else, he saw the leader of the halfling thieves, Sawyer Boots, and the people of the Shaved Blade Adventure Band, which he led.

The halfling thief leader has announced his friendship with the Thorn Squad since the end of the emergency mission in the Spotted Axe Forest, and has drunk with him several times in his spare time, and the two have a very close relationship.

It's just that the members of the Shaving Blade Adventure Team don't seem to be feeling well, they seem to be just a remnant, and the speed of the team is slowed down due to the large number of wounded.

Sawyer Boots was at the front, and when he heard the voice of the dwarf, he suddenly looked over to the side where everyone was, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Oh, Yudaya, praise my halfling goddess!" ”

"Is that you, Koto?! And Urs?! Rundle?! Thorn Squad and Orichalcum Gate...... Uh, guys? ”

He excitedly broke away from his group and ran quickly, and then, while observing the crowd, he suddenly found a large pile of corpses on the ground.

This halfling thief with the same straightforward personality is not stupid, he rolled his eyes, immediately realized something, and blurted out the eager words: "What about Carlos?!" ”

Rundell looked at him, pursed his lips, lowered his head and stood aside, reaching out to a corpse in robes.

The mage leader lay there, his neck bent at an unnatural angle, and a terrifying hole in his chest, which had been found out of the pile of corpses by the adventurers of the Odyschernum in the minutes after the battle.

Sawyer Boots was stunned, he didn't expect this mage leader to say goodbye to him like this.

Urs looked at the scene in front of him, then at the team brought by the halfling thieves, and asked him, "Captain Soya, did you also bring these refugees?" ”

As the words fell, he pointed to the "wounded" in the team of the Shaving Blade Adventure Troupe. On closer inspection, the wounded were not exactly adventurers, but most of them were ordinary civilians, standing there helplessly, supporting each other, looking up at themselves with a look of horror and fear.

That kind of look...... The look of fear of abandonment, which the young man had seen in the memories of the previous life.

"I can't sit idly by and watch them." Sawyer looked at Urs and explained righteously, "These unarmed ordinary people deserve the protection of our adventurers, aren't they?" We are stronger than them, so we should protect them! ”

"Well spoken, halfling brother! His Majesty the King of the Hearthfire Clan had taught his warriors the same! Koto loudly agreed with the little leader's philosophy.

"I ...... I also think that Mr. Sawyer is right. Thea helped an adventurer with the Odyschron to heal the wound on his arm, and after thinking about it, she looked up and said, "Although we may have to do everything we can to protect ourselves now, I still hope to save more people...... Personal hope, if you can. ”

Stonefist and Raven were silent as they listened to the conversation, but their inner thoughts were different, the former was inclined to lend a helping hand to the refugees brought by the Shaving Blade Adventure Group, and the latter thought that it would be better to take more time to think about how to protect themselves rather than help the suffering civilians.

She doesn't recommend meddling anyway, but if everyone decides to "stick together", then she will gladly accept it, after all, everything seems to be moving in an interesting direction, although this interesting direction will probably deviate from the course and sail into the arms of death, a symphony that weaves hope and death together......

"Then it's time to make a decision again." Glorydon shrugged his shoulders, keeping a basic alert eye around him, then looked at Urs.

The old thief knew that his companions could show favors to outsiders, but they were never obligated to do so. The virtue of reverence for goodness is the dogma of the holy warriors, but when it is applied to ordinary people, it can become a moral kidnapping.

In short, the old man waited for the captain's decision. Randall, the deputy head of the Orichal Bronze Gate, also said just now that he wanted to listen to the young man's thoughts, causing everyone's eyes to focus on Urs for a while.

Urs looked around at these people and said to himself, "Are you serious?" Do you really want to leave the decision to me?

He was a little baffled, thinking that his charisma flaws could have been made up for by his performance just now? At the same time, I was a little flattered to feel that so many people were simply the behavior of gamblers to surrender the trust in their hearts to themselves at this moment...... A bunch of ridiculous and cute gamblers.

How should I respond to the chips they put on them?

I'm not a natural leader, and I've never been the supreme leader of any guild organization in that world before, even though I set foot on the top of a mountain...... But fortunately, I'm at least a reckless man now, and maybe I can bring you some amazing miracles.

If you "fools" who are dead horses and live horse doctors can really trust me.

"Let's go to the temple area, then."

"The temple area?"

"Yes, the temple area." After thinking about it for a moment, he finally spoke, looking at Rundel, who had just asked, "There are paladins resident in the city in the temple district, and the church there may be a temporary refuge for us. ”

"If we can, can we try to search for more refugees and escort them there?" Sawyer's eyes lit up as he listened to the young man's proposal, "Not a bad idea, I'm in favor of it!" ”

Urs smiled, then glanced at the others, "Does anyone have anything else in mind?" ”

A few seconds of silence.

There seems to be no dissenting voice, or many people choose to go with the flow.

Let's go...... Head in the direction of the temple area.

Urs took a deep breath and brought the black greatsword in his hand to his shoulder, and for some reason the depths of his mind suddenly recalled his old memories.

It was the experience of his own previous life, the plot chapter of the sunset, the overturned civilization and the precarious order symbolized the end of the prosperous era, the displacement of innocent civilians, the unbridled plundering of robbers, the wandering knights reached out to the victims around them, and used their noble character to prove that the residual light of the sunset still retains its residual warmth, and the goodness in human nature will never die out with the advent of disaster.

Noble character, good knight...... In other words, can his actions at the moment be regarded as the chivalrous spirit of the time?

Maybe it does, maybe it's just my own wishful thinking.

But in any case, I follow my conscience. He thought to himself.

If your own power has a chance to shelter these hapless guys, then why not?
