Chapter 27, Level 5
There was a bang, like a muffled thunder, in the rainy night.
The bald warriors of the descendants of the evil gods and the giant bear from the heavenly realm collided fiercely.
The difference in size between the two sides is huge, Shalofok is nothing more than a tall human, only six and a half feet tall (nearly two meters) tall, while the Celestial Bear is an evolutionary species, and when he is on all fours, his shoulders are almost a head taller than Shalofok—even if an ordinary brown bear grows big, its shoulders are only as tall as a strong man's chest. If it had supported itself on its hind legs and had been fully upright, it might have been twelve feet or even taller. At three meters seven, it's almost as tall as Golem!
With such a huge difference in size, Shalofok looks like Don Quixote charging at the windmill. It was like an egg that had been slammed into a rock, so much so that Chanem and Ammon thought he would be crushed in the next moment—or torn apart, or more or less, depending on the bear's intentions.
But as a result of the collision between the two sides, Shalovok took two steps back and regained his footing, and the giant bear stumbled and staggered, barely able to stand.
From the beast's left shoulder to its right chest, a terrible wound tore through the flesh, and blood was almost gushing out. If someone stood in front of it, they would definitely be sprayed into a bright red soup chicken by this large amount of blood in an instant.
Shalovok smiled cruelly, "It's a real thing!, yes, the skin is broken and you can't make a good carpet, but your head will be the decoration in my living room—well, hang it next to the fireplace." ”
With that, he took a deep breath and rushed towards the giant bear again.
Obviously, this giant bear will definitely not be able to withstand his next round of attacks.
But with the time it had gained, Glian had completed his spell.
He raised his cane to the sky, and the bright red light tore through the clouds and fell from the vast sky.
"What's that?" Amon asked in surprise.
No one answered—Glian was not available, Shalovok was disdainful, and Pan Long was temporarily out of his mind and was still fighting the demons.
The only one in the room who was in the mood to answer Ammon's question was Chanem, but he was a warrior who knew nine out of ten about the esoteric art of magic—none of them.
The red light fell on the palm of Glian's left hand, turning into five glowing bright red stones, and even though they were far apart, Chanem and Ammon could feel the vast power of these five small stones. It was the power of the stars from the depths of the firmament, although it was not much, but it had a wonder beyond the earthly world, even comparable to an artifact.
Shalophok's heart was in a hurry, although he didn't recognize this spell, he recognized the power of the stars. In this world, none of the spells related to the stars are weak. Even if the level is not high, there must be something to be feared.
Grian held the five small red stones on his chest with his left hand, and waved his cane with his right hand, pointed at Shalofok, and recited the incantation.
From the beginning of this battle to the present, it was the first time he had recited a mantra.
Shalofok felt more and more dangerous, and the spell that could make Glian, the great magician, specialize in chanting spells, was definitely not easy to deal with!
He wielded his weapon vigorously, the sword in his hand emitting a palpitating scarlet, as if a demon from hell was longing for a soul.
But the Celestial Giant Bear let out a wild roar, and a dazzling white light suddenly lit up on its body. The white light enveloped its body, like a layer of armor, blocking the scarlet light out.
"Damn!" Shalovok couldn't help but scold.
His sword has terrifying power, capable of draining the life of the enemy, and can even directly slash the enemy with a single sword when activating the evil divine power in it, regardless of how much vitality the enemy still has left, it can be said to be one of the most dangerous weapons in this earthly world.
But this Celestial Giant Bear fully activated the divine power and turned it into an armor of light to protect himself, but it was just able to block the power of the magic sword in his hand. Until he destroyed the Armor of Light, his sword was nothing more than an ordinary, razor-sharp sword to the bear.
To make matters worse, the terrible wound on the Giant Bear is rapidly healing as the Armor of Light envelops its body – and like many Celestial creatures, the Giant Bear has the means to heal itself with positive energy.
Even though Shalofok was strong, in this case, he couldn't kill the giant bear in a short time.
He knew that the Giant Bear's move must have a big flaw, either it was a huge cost, or it was short-lived, or maybe even both. But at the moment, the bear only needs to buy a moment for Glian to complete the spell.
This moment may be the key to victory or defeat or even life and death!
Shalovok had no choice but to roar and swing his sword at him, trying to kill the bear as quickly as possible.
One man and one beast, slaughtered again into a mess.
The spell of Grion was quite long, and it was recited for a long time, and both Chanem and Aemon couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
They could clearly see that the white light on the giant bear was rapidly weakening, and it was obvious that it would not last long. And Shalovok's swordsmanship was fierce and vicious, and in just a moment, it had already caused several serious wounds on the giant bear's body.
If you continue to fight like this, maybe before Grean finishes the spell, the giant bear will fall!
However, before the result was played on that side, the other side played the result first.
Pan Long, who kept roaring, gasped deeply after tearing the last evil spirit apart, and then collapsed without warning.
His body twitched violently, and blood continued to spill from his nose and mouth, as if there was a big hole in his body and it was leaking.
Chanem, who had been watching him carefully, rushed over, holding his body down with one hand to keep him from convulsing, and with the other he took out a bottle of potion that emitted a bright white light and brought it to his mouth.
But Pan Long was still trembling violently, and he couldn't drink this expensive bottle of high-level healing medicine soberly.
"Ammon!" Chanem shouted, "come and do me a favor!"
"Okay!" Aemon also hurried over, and at a glance he understood, and grabbed Pan Long's upper and lower teeth with both hands, and forcibly pulled them away in the most brutal way.
Of course, this practice is not good for health, but for Pan Long at this moment, drinking medicine is the most important.
If he doesn't take the medicine quickly, he will even lose his life, where can there be any talk of "health"!
Chanem poured the potion into Pan Long's mouth, and the divine power contained in it was immediately absorbed, and Pan Long's trembling body calmed down again, and the light of reason in his eyes returned.
He coughed twice and coughed up some blood, but his spirits were much better.
"How's it going?" he asked, a little weakly.
"I don't know. Ammon immediately replied, "Grion is casting a very powerful spell, but ...... I haven't done it yet. ”
Pan Long sighed in his heart and wanted to sit up, but found that he was weak. It's like overdoing it, the muscles, bones, and joints are protesting, and there is no way to move.
He silently opened the character panel, and sure enough, he saw that he was in a weak state.
(Is the Barbarian Rage such a side effect?, am I a Berserker at all?...... )
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that in the oldest version of the rules of the series, the barbarian was the berserker. It will not be until a little later in the rules that the two will be distinguished.
Coincidentally, "The Adventures of Insider" happens to use the oldest version of the rules.
Pan Long sighed helplessly in his heart, but noticed that he could upgrade again.
Just now, he eliminated more than twenty evil spirits in one go, and each evil spirit provided him with 600 experience, plus the previous battle, he had already saved 16,000 experience points!
With so many experience points, it was enough for him to rise to level five in one go!
(What a reward!If only I could play a few more times like this!)
He thought to himself, and then he thought it funny—not to mention a few more fights, this time, if it weren't for Chanem and Aemon to save his life, he would have died.
The barbarian's fury is really a double-edged sword, and it must not be used in the future unless it is a last resort!
He didn't hesitate, and directly raised the level in one go.
Three upgrades in a row, his maximum health has been increased to 75, and he also gains an additional weapon proficiency and skill proficiency.
Unfortunately, the Barbarian class only has a three-star weapon proficiency, which makes it impossible for him to upgrade his empty-handed combat to five stars.
In that case, there is no hurry. Anyway, he doesn't have any special weapons to master or skills to learn right now.
In addition to the massive increase in health, the biggest benefit of leveling up is that he gains "extra attacks".
When he reached level 3, he gained half an extra attack when he was proficient in 4-star proficiency and specialized in air-handed combat - he could attack three times in a round, but now he was three and a half attacks.
This can be seen intuitively from the change in the "number of attacks" in his character panel.
Pan Long didn't understand what the meaning of this "half-attack" was, could it be that he could still let himself attack once with both hands when he attacked, and then grow a third hand out of thin air, and then attack?
It's impossible to think about it!
What's more, even if that's the case, it's an additional attack!
But he thought about it, can the so-called "increase in the number of attacks" be understood as "the speed of the attack"?
If you understand it that way, does it mean that his shooting speed is about one-sixth faster than before?
This level of improvement is considerable, the so-called master confrontation, the fast line is the difference between life and death. And how much more so is the one-sixth ...... No matter how you look at it, it's not just "fast line".
Not only that, but if he can reach level six, he can also increase the number of attacks one more time. At that time, even ordinary weapons can increase the number of attacks by half, and specialized empty-handed combat can be directly increased to one.
At that time, if he uses a one-handed weapon such as a sword, the number of attacks will become one and a half - no, the proficiency level of the "knife" is two stars, and it has been added half a time, so it will be two...... That's about a third.
Pan Long secretly estimated it, and suddenly felt a little dizzy - this is also a little too complicated!
(Forget it!Anyway, the speed of the shot has become faster, it's good to understand this!)
Throwing these boring questions aside, he barely stood up with the strength he had recovered from his upgrades, and looked at the battle on the other side.
Shalofok had already killed the Celestial Giant Bear to the point that it was too much to support, and the white light on the giant bear had almost completely dissipated, and its huge body was covered in blood, looking crumbling.
However, Grean's incantation had already been recited.
The old mage smiled with relief and swung his cane at Shalophok.
Countless dazzling rays of light rose from his left hand, like a torrential rain, and smashed down on Shalofok.
