Chapter 3 Becoming One

Duang!

The unlucky skeleton was smashed to the ground, and the huge shock force not only reduced its HP by 5 points, but also made it fall into a dizzy state for a short time.

When it recovered from its dizziness, it was greeted by a stone the size of a brick!

Wren held the stone in his right hand and slammed it down on the skull as it struggled to get up!

Boom!

With a slight muffled thud, the skull's gray-white skull was smashed into a pit by Wren's stone.

If it is replaced by a humanoid creature of the same level, Wren will lose half his life if he does not die.

But now he was dealing with the undead.

Receiving this heavy blow, the pale soul flame in the skull's eye socket shook violently, obviously not lightly injured, but still struggling to raise the weapon in his hand to fight back.

However, Rennes will never give it any chance to turn the tables around.

The left knee pressed down against its right sword-wielding hand, and then the left hand was pointed into a sword, stabbing hard into the right eye socket.

Whoa!

At the moment when the fingers of his left hand pierced into his eye socket, the positive energy attached to it rubbed violently against the soul flame composed of negative energy in the opponent's eye socket.

"You're eroded by negative energy and take 5 damage!"

In just an instant, a large piece of the superficial skin of Wren's finger was corroded, and blood gushed out.

Ten fingers to heart.

A hot stinging pain came from his fingertips, and Wren's face couldn't help but twitch.

Wren is still like this, not to mention the other party whose soul flame is impacted by positive energy.

This time it was comparable to a stab in the heart of a humanoid creature.

Under the impact of positive energy, the skeleton's soul flame instantly dimmed, and its jaws opened wide, letting out a silent wail.

If at first the strength of the soul flame was a flaming torch, now there is only a cluster of flames that may be extinguished at any time.

"Hit the target soul core!"

"Pass the test, you deal a heavy blow to the target!"

"You deal 14 damage to the target!"

Withdrawing his left hand, Wren didn't give the opponent a chance to struggle at all, and smashed a backhand stone on the opponent's skull again, taking away the last trace of blood.

Standing up from the ground, Wren lifted his rusty sword into the air with a flick of his left foot.

Holding the hilt of the sword, Wren shook the long sword, and the professional expertise of the paladin [good at weapons (military)] allowed him to master the use of the weapon in his hand in an instant, allowing him to use it proficiently.

Looking at the three skeletons rushing towards him, he licked his slightly dry lips.

"No weapons is trouble...... It's only 300 experience points, which is too little. Killing all of these is only a fifth of the experience points...... However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat and cannot be wasted. ”

With that, he held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and the blade with his left hand, and the horizontal sword blocked the slashing long sword.

Clusters of sparks burst out from the point where the blade and blade collided.

At the moment of blocking the opponent's attack, Wren's body sank down slightly, unloading most of his strength, and then his body turned, raised his leg and kicked, kicking the other skeleton that pounced on him away, and then rolled over, dodging the heavy slash of the third skeleton.

Although his agility of 13 is not very high, most of these skeletons have an agility of 10, and a few can reach 11, and it is still possible to concentrate on dodging most of their attacks.

Wren slammed his left hand to the ground, his body bounced up like a spring, and he took a stride in front of the nearest skeleton, and the long sword in his right hand stabbed into the opponent's hollow eye socket with the inertia of the forward rush, and then twisted it fiercely.

The other party didn't have time to react at all, and the pale soul flame in his eye socket was shattered by Wren's blow!

The body made of white bones suddenly stiffened, and then turned into pieces of white bones and fell to the ground.

"Onslaught hits!"

"Deal 20 puncture damage to the target!"

"Death to the target!"

"Earn 300 XP!"

A row of data flashes out above Wren's field of view.

"Although directly destroying the soul core is the most effective way to kill a low-level undead creature such as a skeleton, in addition to costing eyes, the most troublesome thing about doing so is that it costs weapons!"

Throwing away the weapon in his hand that was completely scrapped by the erosion of negative energy, picking up the long sword that fell to the ground, Wren retreated and squatted, and when he raised his sword to block the slash of another skeleton, he took advantage of the sword and opened the opponent's weapon, causing him to fall into a brief state of stiffness.

Block, the Paladin's only full-time skill related to agility.

Trained paladins can even take advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack after parrying with a melee weapon.

Just as Wren is doing now!

Now is the time!

Wren's eyes shrank, his right wrist flipped over, and the long sword rolled up and slashed down towards the other party's pale neck bone exposed in the air!

Attack with great force!

The sword flashed, and a pale skull flew in response.

And that's not all!

Wren took a deep breath, his chest bulging high, and his left hand rested on his sword-wielding right hand.

The battle instinct formed by the countless battles before the crossing drove him to turn with the sword, and he turned around to face the last skeleton, and with the power of his waist and abdomen, he held the sword in both hands and slashed upward, and launched a fierce attack again.

"Onslaught hits!"

"Deal 20 slash damage to the target!"

"Death to the target!"

"Earn 300 XP!"

Twice in a row, identical information prompts appeared in Wren's field of vision, but it was the last message that caught his attention the most.

"You've obtained some information about the specialty [Homeopathic Slash]!"

Standing with his sword in hand, Wren let out a long sigh.

Fang Cai simulated the homeopathic slash through the physical explosion, which was not a small burden on his physique.

But the result was extremely gratifying, not only did he kill all the remaining two skeletons, but he also obtained some information about the homeopathic chop.

Homeopathic Slash, one of the most basic melee specialties of the melee class.

A melee professional who has mastered this specialty will be able to use his or her strong physique and combat awareness to launch an additional melee attack on another target within range after severely injuring or killing the target.

This specialty can not only greatly enhance the killing efficiency of melee professionals at low levels, but also is a precondition for powerful specialties such as [Powerful Homeopathic Slash] and [Roundabout Attack], so it is considered a favorite of the kitchen knife class, and there is no one.

"Yes, it seems that the memories of the past battles still have some effect."

Wren's mood had noticeably improved, and his tone had become much lighter.

"So, my dear friend, you should be relieved, right?"

Wren said softly.

The voice in my head sounded again, but this time, instead of an angry roar, it was a low sigh.

"May you keep your word...... Trials, revenge, protection, everything, please......"

As the voice gradually became inaudible, the remnant soul of the original owner completely dissipated into the world.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised!"

While feeling that the soul and the body were truly one, completely indistinguishable from each other, a trace of sadness flashed in Wren's eyes, and he bowed his head slightly, solemnly reassuring the remnant soul that had disappeared.

A row of data emerges in Wren's field of vision:

"Soul Weakness effect removed."

"You've gained a new specialty, Hero Lucky!"

"You've obtained the skills of the Paladin subclass [Paladin]!"

……

Open the attribute panel, and sure enough, Wren found a new specialty [Hero Lucky] in the background specialty.

Hero Luck (Background Specialty): You have gained the favor of fate, which occasionally inspires good luck. When you trigger any exemptions, you permanently gain +1 Lucky Bonus and +1 Lucky Bonus on Defense Level.

Wren nodded in satisfaction, the Lucky Bonus was one of the hardest bonuses to obtain.

In Erathia, there are many types of bonuses, the common ones are race, enhancement, armor, deflection, evasion, morale, natural defense, shield, etc.

Bonuses of different types can be stacked, while bonuses of the same type will only be taken to the highest value, unless the bonus is a evasion bonus.

The lucky bonus of 1 point may seem small, but sometimes it can make a difference.

However, Wren's main focus now is the subclass [Paladin] mentioned in the message prompt.

I saw that in the attribute panel, after the profession [Holy Warrior], there was a small "+" sign.

As soon as Wren's mind moved, he clicked the "+" sign.
