Chapter Thirty-Eight: Skipping Kills

This is the first time Charles has seen a vampire tear in Dawn.

Whether it's a captain or a big thief, it's obvious that they have at least 6 levels of part-time wizarding professions and can cast three-ring spells.

But after all, their main jobs are all advanced professions of wanderers, so after throwing out the 'flying technique', the two vampires turned into afterimages, and Charles couldn't see the specific actions of their fight at all.

The undead sailors were unlucky, and the vampires had a tacit understanding, and every time they fought for a while, they would each stop and suck a sailor dry, replenish their health, and continue to tear apart.

When Charles recharged the Viper Cloak a second time, the results of the battle were in.

A lose-lose situation.

Both vampires fell into the sea from exhaustion.

The serpent's triangular eyes flashed as it poked out of the corpse's collar and descended into the water, following the vampire codenamed 'Blackblade'.

The sea was so dark at night that the snake's sense of taste and heat sensing were much weakened by the sea, and Charles dived into the water to find himself blind and unable to lock on to the vampire who had fallen into the sea.

In desperation, Charles had no choice but to lift the transformation, first float to the surface, hold the holy emblem, and throw out a 'two-ring monster summoning technique'.

The Cleric class can also summon interdimensional creatures to fight for itself. However, unlike Warlocks and Mages, the Priest's summoning spell has faction restrictions, for example, the Priest of the Good Camp can only choose celestial creatures to summon, but cannot summon creatures from the evil camp.

But the neutral camp is another matter. Charles is the cleric of Ogma, and is absolutely neutral, so there are no restrictions on monster summoning.

Selected 'Infernal Squid' in the list of two-ring creatures.

A light array appeared on the surface of the sea, and a tentacle creature 10 feet in size exuding a strong purgatory aura crawled out of the summoning array and floated beside the priest.

There is a spiritual connection between the summoned beast and the spellcaster, and although some high-level demons can break free from the summoner's control and devour their master, the 'Purgatory Squid' is obviously not so powerful. Charles doesn't speak Purgatory, and relying on psychic connections, he can give orders to the 'Purgatory Squid'.

"Smack, smack."

The Purgatory Squid flicked its tentacles, signaled to Charles that he understood, and then dived into the water.

Charles had already replaced his armor with a priest's robe, so he barely marched a few meters above the sea, climbed a broken plank, and continued to chant incantations with the emblem in his hand, regardless of his wet appearance.

"—[Sanctuary Technique]."

The priest first cast a ring of defensive magic on himself.

"[Sanctuary Technique]: The opponent can't attack you, and at the same time, you can't attack the opponent."

The Sanctuary Technique is a rather rogue defensive magic technique, the effect is similar to that of low-level invisibility techniques, but actions such as talking will not invalidate the spell, and it can even cooperate with the 'Sword Blade Barrier' and 'Dispel' to rush into the monster pile, and push the monster forcefully, but the monster can't hit you. It was a shameless scene.

With the [Magic Painting] mission ahead, this time Charles has to be much more cautious when dealing with vampires who are far more powerful than himself, and it will not be wrong to set a 'Sanctuary Technique' first.

He didn't think the two vampires were dying that soon.

The vitality of high-level vampires is comparable to that of Xiaoqiang. As long as the blood core remains, there is hope of resurrection. Vampire racial abilities aside, Charles also needs to beware of disgusting spells like 'Vampire's Touch'.

"Whoa."

A few minutes later, the Purgatory Squid floated on the surface of the sea not far away.

Charles' eyes froze slightly. The squid used several tentacles to wrap around a man dressed in black, whose eyes were closed and his complexion was pale, and he seemed to be breathless.

Maintaining the 'Sanctuary Technique', Charles calms himself and does not show hostility towards vampires, so that the Sanctuary shield does not disappear naturally.

When the squid brought the vampire closer, Charles took a deep breath and reached out to fumble with the vampire.

"Dimensional Bag ......"

Charles was sure that the Baroness's treasure box must have been placed on her body by the vampire thieves, and should be contained in a separate dimensional bag.

The Dimensional Bag is a not-so-sturdy magic item that can be easily pierced by a sword, and the contents of the bag either burst out or be swallowed by the Void. So the charr consciously searched the most hidden places in the cloak of vampire thieves.

"There it is!"

Moments later, in a slit in the vampire's heart, Charles pulled out a small white bag with a look of surprise on his face.

But the moment he pulled the bag out, the vampire, who was bound by the squid's tentacles, suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes, stared at Charles coldly, and whispered: "-Vampire Touch." ”

The thief's palm, which glowed with strong negative energy, tried to grab at the Priest of the Holy Arrival, but the vampire soon realized that his hand seemed to be blocked by a wall!

"How so!"

The vampire felt a divine power surrounding the priest, instantly understood, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's actually the Sanctuary Technique!" ”

'Vampire's Touch' is a three-ring spell that the thieves have thrown out, so there is no reason to take it back. He urgently needed to replenish his health now, and although the priest in front of him made him secretly hate, he could see but not eat. The vampire could only turn his gaze to the Purgatory Squid that bound him.

The vitality of this interdimensional creature is still good, and it can barely allow him to recover from some injuries.

But the vampire had this idea, and Charles didn't expect it.

The moment the vampire's gaze shifted, Charles smiled slightly, summoned a dispersal circle, and sent the Purgatory Squid back to the bottomless purgatory in an instant.

"Plop"

The vampire fell into the sea again, this time with a dull face. Coo-coo. After a few sips of seawater, the vampire struggled in the water and roared viciously, "I curse you, priest! ”

"How dare you attack the merchant ships of the 'Night Mask', the Night King will not let you go!"

"Stupid."

Charles sneered.

This vampire really drank water until his head got into it. Didn't he lurk on the ship for the night, instead of blowing up the Storm Horn at Susar, just to hide from others?

Now in the far sea, the Storm Horn has sunk to the bottom of the ocean as a wreckage, and the sailors and the two vampires on board are dead, how could the Night Mask know that he did these things?

A month or two later, the investigators inside the 'Mask of Night' could only declare that the merchant ship had encountered a sea dragon or had encountered a storm.

"A landlubber vampire, funny."

Charles turned to look at the vampire who was struggling in the sea, he estimated that the vampire in front of him used the 'breath in water' spell, so he hibernated so far, and wanted to give him a 'vampire's touch' to turn the table, but unfortunately the vampire underestimated the priest's caution.

'Breath in Water' is a three-ring spell, and the 'Flying Spell' used by the vampire in front of it is also a three-ring spell, plus 'Vampire's Touch', so the vampire has a total of three empty spell slots.

Moreover, just now a 'Vampire Touch' spell failed, I'm afraid that the vampire is still in a state of magic backlash, and there is no way to cast another spell for the time being.

So the Charr is not at all worried about the vampires hiding other spells now.

He generously lifted the 'Sanctuary Technique' on his body, and under the vampire's fearful gaze, he stood on the floating plank and picked up a repeating heavy crossbow.

"Smack."

Load a new box with a total of 5 bolts. Charles's crossbow aimed at the vampire who was fluttering a few meters away, and smiled humbly, "Your Excellency the vampire, I guess you can definitely send me a lot of experience. Recently, I've been making secret visits around you, and I've wasted a lot of energy, and I'm a big step behind other players, so I can only kill you......"

"Goodbye."

Charles spat out two words at the end of his mouth, flicked the switch, and fired five crossbow bolts in a row, popping into the vampire's body one after another.

The blood spreads open. The vampire didn't move, but Charles hadn't listened to the expected system prompt.

"Aren't you dead yet?" Charles didn't dare to approach, and after his face was cloudy for a while, he took out several bottles of milky white holy water in a row and splashed them vigorously.

Whoosh.

A small portion of the holy water was poured over the vampire, making a clear corrosive sound. The motionless vampire let out a final scream and gradually dissolved into a pile of ashes.

"Killed the vampire 'Black Blade' [model]."

"Skipping Kills in the Accounting ......"

"You've gained 5,000 XP."

"Temple Contribution +100."

"+50 reputation in the Dragonlake region."

A row of dark green data appears on the retina.

Charles looked at the character panel, the "upgrade" option was already shining, and he nodded without hesitation.

"The priesthood has been upgraded to level five."

"+5 HP and gain 3 idle skill points."

After upgrading, the stat bar becomes like this.

"Attributes: Strength 12 (+1), Constitution 15, Agility 10, Intelligence 13, Perception 19 (+2 Race), Charisma 13

Class: Civilian Lv. 10 (max) / Priest Lv. 5 (1000/16000)

Health: 45/45

……”

Charles added all 3 skill points to 'Healing', so that the 'Healing' skill increased to 8. And after reaching level 10 of 'Healing', he will be able to have an additional perk ability, [Healer's Heart], which can heal dying creatures when venturing in the wild.

After being upgraded to level 5, the spell slots of the first and second rings have increased by one. When you reach level six, you will be able to officially contact the three-ring divine art, and Charles is looking forward to it.

The vampire at the level 20 exemplary level undoubtedly gave Charles a taste of the sweetness of skipping the level of killing. What is the concept of 5000 XP? That's the equivalent of 10 blue missions!

"And a vampire captain......"

Charles' eyes flickered. Since the 'Black Blade' survived with the Water Breath Spell, then the Vampire Captain should be able to do the same, he memorized two 'Two-Ring Monster Summoning Spells' on the spell slot yesterday, so now he has cast a spell to summon a Purgatory Squid.

But no sooner had the squid received his order to dive than a loud rumbling sound came from afar.

"What the hell?"

It was as if a boulder had been pressed against his heart, and the sound was still far away, and Charles felt his body uncontrollable. The cold hairs stood on end.

The night in the distance was as thick as a curtain, and there was no daylight. As if he had guessed what it was, Charles gasped and threw a [Ebony Eye] magic spell at himself, instantly seeing through the darkness in the distance.
