Chapter 32: Human Despair

[You killed three priests (Black Iron Rank) with your own hands to extract the Origin Power...... Because you kill your enemies by one level, you get a 120% bonus to the experience you get, and you end up with 76 experience.

Raise the level of the Tier 1 Embers -

Roland said in his heart without hesitation.

[Ash Disciple Level 7, 66 XP required to advance]

Confirm!

[You have comprehended the touch of the mistletoe from the surname of the white mistletoe]

That's it!

Roland felt a pang of excitement in his heart.

The reason why the surname of White Mistletoe was chosen in the first place was that in addition to the fact that the tall profession of the Golden Oak Druid could only be used as an assistant and had no combat ability in the early stage, there was also a very important reason for the current magic art.

The golden oak is strong in the golden period. In terms of perks alone, before the fall of the gods in the late stages of the Plague Revival, no class had a group perk that surpassed the Golden Oak Druids in the Golden Age, and even the War Shaman was slightly inferior.

However, it was impossible for Roland to reach the Silver level or higher in the Ashes class. Once Roland reaches the Silver Rank as a Grey Disciple, the essence of the soul will be alienated.

Roland didn't think he could do Mark's magical soul split. Once the soul is alienated, it is very likely that the voice of the Sleeping Master will not be felt.

After all, Marco will definitely become Roland's enemy, and use the class created by the enemy to attack him - Roland is not so stupid. What's more, in the future, the death crow under the seat of the Sleeping Mentor must be the strongest profession, there is no doubt about it.

Roland felt that since he had come to this world, he had to choose the best of the best.

And the more important reason why Roland didn't choose Golden Oak was the magic of mistletoe touch.

The surnames of the oak family are all strong and strong, yes, but the magic it comes with can only provide auxiliary abilities after all. Until Roland has enough self-preservation, a flexible and aggressive surname like Mistletoe is the first choice.

Mistletoe's Touch - Drains the opponent's stamina and life through contact attacks, and many priests on the evil side have similar abilities. With Roland's perceptual attributes, the amount of healing he absorbed twice was basically enough to regain his own blood.

Even if Roland doesn't really learn it now, and can only borrow it twice a day, it will be enough to reverse the current situation-

Roland withdrew the two vines from the cuffs into his sleeves, and with his toes touching the ground, two new vines planted from Roland's waist, wrapped around his waist twice, and protruded from the end of his robe

The vines around his waist exerted force, and they whipped heavily on the ground, raising a puff of smoke and dust. Roland took advantage of his strength and rushed towards the leading priest

Seeing a white mistletoe druid with only a formal energy reaction on his body holding a strange-shaped slashing sword that had solved the three black-robed priests under his command with three strokes and five divisions, and rushed towards his side again, the leading priest unconsciously felt a trace of fear.

This can't be a mere full-fledged druid!

Whose full-ranking druid can hold a sword and kill three Black Iron Rank priests one by one? What's more, the Priest of the Lord of Violence can deal three times more damage in the early stages than the priests of other gods, and there is a powerful shield that can resist damage by one level.

Not to mention being killed by someone who crossed the rank, even if you cross the level to kill the warrior, this profession only needs one sneak attack.

In the common sense of the leading priest, there was only one possibility that could explain the current situation - that Roland was actually a Silver or even Gold Assassin, and was then hired by the Blight to destroy them.

In order to establish a base, they burned a large area of trees, and it was normal for the blighters to target them. The Blighters, on the other hand, are limited to the sacred oath made by the founder, and cannot recruit any professionals who do not have a druid class to join the Order.

So, in order for the Assassin to have a good reason to kill them, it was necessary to give him a name - for example, a temporary part-time druid of one or two ranks, and then join the Blighters for a long-term order in five-year increments.

He didn't come up with this situation out of his head, the withered have a criminal record.

Just the year before, one of the district bishops of the Goddess of the Hunt wanted to hold a hunting tournament in an area from a forest of silver pines. It wasn't a big deal, and the Blight didn't want to ask.

The problem was that there was a young believer in the goddess of the hunt, and when he was completing the task of cleaning up the woods given to him by the temple, he was lazy and set fire to two self-made fire barriers, wanting to use the fire to clear the woods, completely ignoring the prohibition of lighting fires emphasized by the Druid overseers who had been sent.

And so tragedy struck. The cause was a violent explosion of a gray pine tree, which then caused a forest fire.

Grey pine is often associated with silver pine, and is indistinguishable from ordinary silver pine in appearance, except for slightly dull leaves and a slightly dwarf tree overall. People other than druids are hard to identify. Unlike silver pine, which is used to extract pine nut oil, ash pine is an expensive wood and is the most common staff core material used by offensive wizards.

The most famous characteristic of gray pine is that it can explode violently when exposed to an open flame before it is properly smoked and dehydrated. As a result, many of the wizards' supply stores that were not skilled enough would explode every day, because the apprentice had exploded when the temperature rose too quickly when he was burning the ash pine wood with an alcohol lamp - and it was just a stick the thickness of a little thumb, powerful enough to blow off the fingers of a reckless apprentice.

The young believer who had set fire to a whole gray pine was killed in the same place, and his bones were gone. The explosion of gray pine wood in a pile of silver pine rich in oil immediately caused a forest fire that was difficult to extinguish, and the fire detonated other gray pine trees, and there was a chain explosion.

The fire lasted for a day and two nights, and burned almost the entire forest to the ground.

The Blighted are wrathed.

However, the goddess of the hunt shirked that it was just an ordinary believer, not an official priest, and the hunting church was not responsible for this matter, and at the same time excluded a large number of low-level priests, using the vague perception of the divine profession to other divine professions, searching for druids above the silver level layer by layer, and at the same time imposing martial law on the city, panicking to the ignorant citizens that there was a powerful and evil druid who was ready to infiltrate the city, and asked the citizens to actively report the druids they saw.

The next day, under this strict defense, the district bishop of the Church of the Goddess of the Hunt was directly assassinated to death by multiple golden-order assassins, and none of the entire church survived, and the judgment mark of the Blight Church was found in its place.

According to the tradition of the world of Faense, the cult of the goddess of the hunt is a serious violation of the teachings of the Druid Church, and the Druid Church does have the right to initiate a righteous response, and no third party can interfere in this matter. But in the same way, the withered cannot apply for foreign aid, and can only use the power of their own organization to carry out divine revenge.

When the Pope of the Goddess of the Hunt heard about this, he righteously claimed that the assassins were not druids, could not be people within the Blight, and did not enjoy the right to divine revenge, and insisted that the Druid Church immediately hand over the murderers, and personally intervene to invite a cardinal with a true eye as a judge.

After the cardinal conducted a professional investigation of the scene, he declared that the murderer was indeed a member of the Druid Church, which met the criteria for the judgment of Holy Vengeance, and that the Druid Church was not guilty and that no one could be held accountable for the matter.

Everyone was stupid at the time.

It has to be said that the three leaders of the druids are wise. They were aware of this possibility and had prepared for it in advance.

The leading priest of the Lord of Violence had experienced this first-hand as a member of the team that had established friendship with the goddess of the hunt, so he subconsciously thought of this possibility.

As for why these Assassins worked for the Druids - not to mention the knowledge and wealth held by the Druids, the benefits of becoming a full-fledged Druid were not something ordinary people could refuse.

Once a professional has become an official druid, he or she can at least increase his lifespan by fifteen to thirty years, even if he tries to wash away the druid profession later.

With this alone, there are hundreds of silver and gold level powerhouses who have just entered the old age profession and cannot advance, and they will also join the withered ones. Once they have more than a dozen years to live, their old age will be diluted into middle age. Middle-aged professionals can be advanced, and as long as the advancement is successful, their lifespan will be more than ten years out of thin air.

On the other hand, it is not easy for the average person to become a druid. Because the druids are not like wizards, they do not have any written materials, and all knowledge is taught by the mentor himself.

If it weren't for these special supernumeraries, ordinary apprentices who wanted to graduate from their mentors would have to study at least twenty years of miscellaneous studies. From the emblems of the gods to the ways of identifying insects, Druid apprentices are more sophisticated, even more knowledgeable than most wizard apprentices.

No matter what the priest of the Lord of Violence thinks, Roland is the kind of executioner who is attracted by the temptation of immortality to work for the withered.

Determined not to clash with Roland head-on, the leader priest decided to let the lifeless fists entangle Roland at all costs, and he quickly completed the task and left.

- No, you can't think so. Maybe the publisher of the quest is in league with the Blighter, and the goal is to lure the snake out of the hole.

Otherwise, how could this guy happen to be on this team so coincidentally? Either someone has reported the news, or he has been waiting in this team for a long time!

Not only did he analyze calmly, but he also thought distorted from fear, and the leading pastor vetoed his decision in the blink of an eye.

…… It's better to just run away.

But he didn't notice that there were two purple lines floating in his eyes, slowly spinning near his pupils.

- Human Despair!

It was the last single enchantment on Roland's black vine robes, and he hadn't found a chance to use it in his previous battles, but now he finally used it.

The Human Despair Technique is a magic that can only be learned by the evil camp, and the rank is the Four Rings, and it is charged once a day. If you fail the volitional test, it can lead a person's mind in the direction of despair.

Under Roland's good fortune, or his bad luck, he lost the heart to resist as a silver-level priest. At this time, Roland was already close to him with the help of the vines.

The end of the battle was already predestined at this time.
