Chapter 100: The Cave of Bones (IX)
The energy barrier provided by the shield can isolate the contact attacks of the imaginary creatures as a form of stance effect, and the ghost mage boss of the Bone Cavern is unable to stop his high-speed dive at the point where it lacks the means to break the demon at the moment.
It stretched out its claws of the void and came to a halt in front of Urs as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of glass.
The corners of Urs's mouth sneered, and he took the opportunity to pick up a sword and slash at it with gravity, and the black blade immediately cut through its misty body without any hindrance, causing the expression on its face to tighten painfully and scold: "Cunning human! ”
The Ghost Mage's virtual body appears to have been swept by the young man's greatsword, but has actually taken physical damage from the Cursed Blade as a +3 enchanted weapon. Attacks of a physical nature can hurt imaginary creatures, but the power of magic is so amazing that it can even give an entity's weapon the power to destroy imaginary things.
This is also why mages and craftsmen are always easily welcomed by civilized nations.
The good reputation enjoyed by mage craftsmen is partly due to the fact that they tend to be less ambitious and do not show the same unscrupulous desire to study the things around them as extremist mages, and partly because the importance of weapon enchantment levels is much more than the "plus" at the end of the damage data column.
In addition to ghosts, there are many strange monsters in Castano that are immune to weapon damage below +2, +3, or even +4 enchantment levels.
High-level spellcasters have the power of magic to fight against powerful enemies, while kitchen knife classes must rely on their weapons to fight, and the enchantment level of the weapon has become a necessity that they have to grit their teeth to accept whether they like it or not.
After all, this is a simple truth - if you lose the support of your equipment, how can a high-level warrior challenge a spellcaster of the same level?
Because he has the cursed blade, which is known as a small god costume in the early stage of the game, Urs's slash can hurt the ghost mage in front of him, forcing the latter, who has already suffered from Thea's two healing spells plus his sword, to curse and want to quickly float back into the air.
However, the young man naturally did not let it escape so easily, and then raised his left hand wearing the impact ring, clenched his fist and turned the surface of the ring outward, and aimed it at its figure as a ghost, and recited the spell syllable that activates the charging magic: "Cro-Atash!" ”
The azure charging ring suddenly lit up, and the spiral wind pressure immediately rolled out a knife-sharp air flow in the direction of his arm. The Wind Pressure of the Ring of Impact deals 4d6 physical damage, and due to its magical power, it can damage the Void Target like a cursed blade, and then push its body into the air.
The so-called calamity is not a single line, and Thea's third healing technique also happened to follow the process of completing the prayer at this time, and through the holy emblem on the girl's hand, the divine magic positive energy was driven to descend on the ghost mage for the third time in this battle.
The Priest's Divine Spell is rewarded with a power amplification and additional Divine Slots from the High Perception attribute.
The wolf-eared priest girl seems to have the character characteristics of "sixth sense" in the eyes of young people, and if her perception attribute is really so, it must be no less than 20 points, and the magic position is naturally much more than other priests of the same level.
In this way, the girl's third healing technique covered the ghost mage in the air with the same white light as the previous two times.
The ghostly monster transformed from the necromancer's revenant soul was at the end of its crossbow at the moment, and soon let out a painful roar under the light mass to usher in its end as an undead creature, and the mist-like body drifted away like smoke, and a handful of soul powder known as the "weight of the soul" by the mages fell from mid-air, and then triggered three prompts in the young man's mind.
[You killed the soul of the necromancer Flosotos]
[EXP +3800 (Kill Bonus)]
[Note: The character's experience points have met the upgrade requirements]
The battle is over –
It turns out that the guy who attempted to advance the Pale Lord in life is named Flosothos?
Confirming the kill prompt that popped up in the game system in his mind, Urs understood that the battle in the entire bone cave was now over, and then relieved to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the system god who stayed on him still remembered the name of this boss for himself.
Maybe it should change the first two syllables of its name from "Flo" to "Yog" to appear a little more powerful and mysterious?
After using the power of his companions to kill each other, the young man couldn't help but think about it with the idea of complaining, and then opened his character attribute panel through the spiritual level of consciousness operation and chose to upgrade.
If there's one thing worth the Cave of Bones quest in the game that is worth the player's time to tackle, it's the massive XP reward from the inflated level quest monsters.
The death of the Ghost Mage boss has left the young man with just enough experience to level up again.
This time, his total level came to 18, and he got his wish to get the last 1 extra specialization point of the level 8 Barbarian before the class progression, which was limited to the Berserk or Weapon Proficiency Specialty, and did not have the extra choice to invest it in his "Sword Weapon Proficiency" specialty, raising the level of this weapon proficiency specialty from intermediate to advanced.
Class Specialty (Barbarian) - Sword Weapon Proficiency (Advanced): There is no proficiency penalty when using a sword weapon, and +3 rewards are awarded in Hit, Damage, and Parry Checks.
The Barbarian's weapon proficiency can only be upgraded to a high level without a part-time job, and if you want to unlock a higher feat-level cap, you will have to wait until you find an opportunity to complete a part-time warrior or career advancement.
The path that Urs has predetermined for himself in this life is still Berserker, so that he can further unlock his weapon proficiency and specialization to the master level, and the limitation of Berserk Specialty can finally reach the theoretical "ultimate".
Yes, Ultimate - Ranks a character's level of expertise from lowest to highest, ranking it at the highest level that exists in "Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Ultimate".
The ultimate rage is a power that the young man could not experience as a legendary player in his previous life, and the only way to obtain it is to advance to the Berserker through the Barbarian class.
Urs looks forward to the day when that power will be his own.
……
At the same time, the sewer area within Twilight.
"Good afternoon, Lord Dambert...... Who is this? ”
On the foul-smelling shore tiles, the beggar who had had a chance encounter with the young man, the old thief, and the wolf-eared maiden welcomed two visitors of great significance to him, one of whom was the red-haired man he called Master Dambert, the red-headed leader of the Red Scorpion Adventure Regiment.
The other is covered by a gray hood and a long cloth cloak, and it can only be judged from the silhouette of his body that he is also a humanoid male, wearing leather gloves and holding a sword-shaped arc weapon with the same appearance and style as the +2 magic katana "Orokanshut's Blade......
