chapter 12 Magic Apprentice 2

After successfully assassinating the apprentice, Rhodes received a large amount of experience points due to killing the hero-level unit. Using these experience points, Rhodes's current rank is level 1 militia level 10, which has reached the advanced level.

According to Rhodes' original idea, there is no need to rush to upgrade his rank for now. After the battle is over, planning the path to be chosen in the future and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each profession before moving up the ranks is the most beneficial choice for development.

But under the current circumstances, there is no way to keep the experience points. Only by converting the experience points into one's own strength in time can the enemy in front of him be solved.

The location that originally displayed the experience value in the attribute panel has now become an upward arrow, requiring Rhodes to make a conscious choice.

"Level 2 professional guard, required prerequisite occupation: militia. Required skills: none. Required experience for employment: 100"

"Level 2 professional swordsman, required prerequisite occupation: militia. Required skills: advanced swordsmanship. Required experience for employment: 200"

"Level 2 professional scout, required prerequisite occupation: militia. Required skills: elementary swordsmanship, elementary eagle eye technique, elementary reconnaissance technique. Required experience for employment: 200"

"..."

There was no time to look further, so Rhodes directly chose to become the inaugural swordsman.

"200 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 185. The professional level is upgraded to Level 2 Swordsman Level 1..."

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."

"[Swordsman] Professional specialty: According to the swordsmanship level, the damage caused is additionally increased. Current swordsmanship level: Advanced. The damage is additionally increased by 15."

"You have learned the skill [Double Continuous Cut]."

"[Two consecutive slashes lv1]: Consumes 5 energy and quickly performs two slashes. Each slash causes 80 damage of the basic attack power."

"Your skill [Heavy Slash lv2] has been upgraded to [Heavy Slash lv3]."

"You have obtained the racing achievement [Start the Journey]"

"[Embark on the journey]: Take up any second-level profession. The basic reward is +1 for all attributes. When worn, all damage is increased by 5."

Rhodes quickly allocated the obtained attribute points to strength, and at the same time spent 3 skill points to upgrade the advanced swordsmanship to expert-level swordsmanship.

(Expert level swordsmanship: A long career of practicing swordsmanship has made you master-like in swordsmanship. Sword weapons will turn decay into magic in your hands. You can master any move at your fingertips. The damage caused by sword weapons is increased by 40)

Realizing that the remaining experience points can still be upgraded by one level, Rhodes was about to continue to upgrade the level. The magic apprentice had already rushed to Rhodes' side, and Rhodes could only deal with its attack first.

Due to the experience of the Skeleton Warrior, Rhodes did not choose to resist the attack of the magic apprentice even if he was holding a shield. Instead, he fought with the magic apprentice and only used his shield to block it when he could not dodge.

The surrounding undead creatures gradually gathered around. Since Rhodes was mostly dodging and never counterattacked, the magic apprentice no longer targeted Rhodes and began to attack the surrounding undead creatures.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes continued to choose to upgrade his level.

"100 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 85. The professional level is upgraded to Level 2 Swordsman Level 2..."

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."

At this time, the magic apprentice is attacking the undead creatures around him. He often kills the undead creatures with a few simple attacks, or even kills them instantly.

It was also a one-shot kill. Unlike Rhodes' superb swordsmanship skills, the magic apprentice relied more on the brute force brought by the burst of mana. This reckless outburst can cause powerful damage in a short period of time, but it will seriously damage its own body because the physical body cannot bear it.

No creature would allow mana to explode in its body like this, even if it could bring extremely powerful power in a short period of time. Only the undead can bear the horror of blood vessels bursting inch by inch from the body, because they can no longer feel the pain.

Even if Rhodes ignores the magic apprentice, it won't be long before he dies due to exhaustion of mana, or even earlier due to complete physical collapse, but before that, it will be enough to clean up the undead creatures around him. And Rhodes cannot get any experience points.

After allocating attribute points to strength, Rhodes thought about the apprentice's attack method and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Rhodes swung his sword several times to clear away some of the surrounding undead creatures. While the magic apprentice attracted the attention of most of the undead creatures, Rhodes came behind it.

At this time, the magic apprentice was attacking a walking corpse in front of him. The magic apprentice punched out, passing through the walker's outstretched hands, and printed directly on the walker's chest. While the walker's chest was dented, a stream of blood spurted out from the magic apprentice's own arm.

Seeing this, Rhodes knew that the magic apprentice could no longer bear the side effects of the mana burst. After all, its original body was just that of a second-level apprentice. The body had not been trained and could not withstand the burst of mana for too long.

While the magic apprentice was attacking the walking corpse, Rhodes propped up his shield and rushed towards it.

In the state of mana burst, the body of the magic apprentice is as hard as steel. It has blocked sword weapons many times before and said that it is difficult for sharp weapons to cause effective damage to the magic apprentice.

Therefore, Rhodes did not choose to attack the magic apprentice with a sword, but chose to use a shield. The best way to deal with the magic apprentice is to hit it with a blunt object to accelerate the collapse of its body.

The skills acquired through Eagle Eye will always be saved. In order to increase the damage, Rhodes chose to learn [Shield Slam].

"[Shield Slam lv1]: Consumes 10 energy points, uses the shield in hand to hit the enemy violently, causing 120% of the basic damage, with a certain chance of stunning the enemy. 20 experience points are required to upgrade."

In order to ensure that this attack would be effective and not be blocked by the magic apprentice, Rhodes used all the skills he could use.

Using these three skills at the same time requires a large amount of energy. Once it does not have the expected effect, Rhodes' remaining physical strength will be difficult to sustain in the subsequent battle.

Even so, after finding the opportunity to kill the magic apprentice, Rhodes would not give it up in vain. Even if the chance is slim, Rhodes must seize it.

Using the three skills in succession, coupled with his own determined will, Rhodes charged with a rainbow-like momentum. Even though he was still wearing tattered and unseemly leather armor, even though his shield was full of cracks, the momentum of Rhode's charge at this moment even surpassed that of ordinary heavily armored warriors!

Only a loud noise was heard, and the magic apprentice was hit hard on the back. The violent mana in his body was suddenly stimulated, and the whole body of the magic apprentice began to break apart.

Rhodes stabilized the shock of the collision, took this opportunity, stepped forward, and then hit the magic apprentice with a shield on the back.

Without giving the magic apprentice any chance, Rhodes continued to attack.

The powerful blow from the outside world, coupled with the violent magic power inside, finally made the magic apprentice's body unable to bear it. Even though there was still remaining mana in his body, the magic apprentice lost his fighting ability and fell to the ground.
