With 5000 Slaughter EXP in hand, Søren was a little excited.
He now had more than 10,000 Slaughter EXP, which was enough to level up both his Wizard and Rogue classes at the same time. However, he still forcibly suppressed this impulse. Leveling up his basic classes could be put aside for now. He didn't need to level up to deal with these Earth Elementals, so it was better to leave it for the future. With his current ability, triggering the advancement was only a matter of time. Even if there were no conditions, he could create them himself, such as advancing into an Assassin.
There were only three prerequisites to become an Assassin. The first was 100 points of Stealth, the second was Heart of Slaughter (100 kills), and the last was 50 points of Alchemy (Poisons).
Stealth was already enough, Slaughter Heart was a passive ability, and Assassins were cold-blooded and ruthless.
As long as the number of targets he assassinated reached 100, he would automatically acquire the ability [Slaughter Heart], which would increase his Willpower by 1. Søren had assassinated quite a lot of targets. As long as he was given some time, it would be a piece of cake for him to kill 100 people. As for the last 50 points of Alchemy, he would need to spend some time learning how to make poisons. Assassin was one of his priorities for advancing into an Assassin, but in the end, he still chose Lurker, which was better at hiding. (The NPCs in the storyline had the Apprentice Assassin class. They didn't need the ability [Slaughter Heart], but they had to complete a series of assassination missions to officially advance into an Assassin.)
The battle ended.
Just as Søren was about to find the Elemental Core from the corpse of the Earth Elemental, a row of data suddenly appeared:
"Battle ended."
"You dealt 7 (+ 2) slash damage to the Earth Elemental! … Target killed! … "
"Extracting soul energy."
"You received 2550 Slaughter EXP."
…
"After killing again and again, your combat skills have become more flexible! … "
"You received information about the ability [Reflex Evasion]."
"You received information about the ability [Agile Movement]."
…
Information about the ability appeared!
Søren couldn't help but be stunned. The Halfling next to him reached out and patted him, then picked up the Elemental Core and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Hurry up and kill the next one, there are still a lot of them! "
Soran quickly came back to his senses and took a look at his own data.
He didn't know if it was because of his accumulation or because of the battle just now, but he actually got two information prompts at once, both of which were advanced abilities for Rogues. If he didn't spend ability points to obtain them, he could only comprehend them through battle. More often than not, the more experienced a person was. Even if they were of the same professional level, they would have more specialties than those who did not fight much. Therefore, even if the two of them were of the same level, the difference between them would be like heaven and earth when they fought.
"Reflex Evasion [Personal Ability]: After a long period of combat, your reflexes have been gradually trained. When you encounter a sneak attack, assassination, or surprise attack, you won't appear to be caught off guard, because your trained reflexes are enough to deal with such unexpected situations. You can also rely on your reflexes to avoid the core area of the attack when you are hit by some area-of-effect attacks or spells. [Conditioned Reflexes + 1, Evasion (Roll) + 5.]
"Flexible Movement [Personal Ability]: After repeated battles, your footsteps have become more and more flexible, and you can easily avoid most of the attacks. Your footsteps are like dancing steps in battle. Flexible footsteps are suitable for people like you. When you face an enemy's attack, you can flexibly avoid a lot of damage. [Evasion + 1, Evasion (Shifting) + 5]. "
These were two abilities that Søren was very familiar with.
However, he was still quite surprised to get the information of two abilities at once.
He had fought so many times at the beginning, but he didn't get any information about abilities. Now that two abilities appeared at once, it was definitely not a coincidence. It was very likely that there were other reasons. For example, he was now blessed with 'Greater Lightness' and 'Haste', or he was not hit by the enemy when he was fighting against the Earth Elementals just now.
The more Søren thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was high.
This was because when he was training the 'Sprint' ability, he also needed to train with spells. At that time, he was blessed with 'Lightness' and 'Greater Haste', and then ran on the river to the limit. He fell into the river more than ten times in a row before he finally mastered the 'Sprint' combat ability. Although he had fought a lot in the past, he didn't have the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife like now. Being hit by the Earth Elementals was not a joke. Søren was highly focused throughout the whole process.
He glanced at the Halfling next to him and said in a deep voice, "Let me deal with the next one alone. I feel like I'm about to have a breakthrough in my combat skills."
You can do that!?
The Halfling was startled for a moment and then said, "Are you sure?"
Søren nodded.
There was a speculation in the past that when one's attributes were high, the speed of learning and mastering abilities would be increased. After all, 15 points of Agility and 20 points of Agility were two extremes. Many abilities required a corresponding physical condition to master. Søren now had 24 points of Agility, which was higher than when he was training to master his abilities. After all, at that time, no Spellcaster was willing to waste precious spells to train with his abilities.
Wizards liked to buff themselves with 'Ingenious Wisdom' when learning high-grade spells, because high Intelligence would help with the efficiency of learning spells. He might have reached the critical point of a breakthrough in his ability. The current high-attribute state was probably several times more effective than usual, which was why there were two ability prompts in a row. 4 points of Agility was equivalent to all the free attribute points of an 8 level Rogue allocated to Agility.
It was indeed a bit risky to fight against the Earth Elementals alone.
When Søren lured an Earth Elemental, he immediately felt the pressure increase. Without the Halfling to cover him and attract attention, the frequency of his attacks was greatly reduced. He had to divert more energy to dodge the attacks. In the past, he could seize the opportunity to slash seven or eight times in a minute, but now he could only slash two or three times at most. Gloria seemed to be a little puzzled. After asking the Halfling, she understood a little, but she looked at Søren with a strange expression.
A breakthrough in battle?!
This seemed to be something that only legendary figures could do, right?
How could Søren be so sure that he could break through his original fighting skills in just a few minutes of battle?
Was he also a Son of God?
It shouldn't be!
His talent was only a little better than ordinary people. In some areas, he was close to the level of a genius, but there was still a big gap between him and the amazing talent of a Son of God!
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Søren attacked again and again. He didn't pursue a short burst of power. He just wanted to make sure that he wasn't hit by the enemy.
He moved around the Earth Elemental. Only when the enemy attacked, would he seize the opportunity to counterattack. After the attack, the Earth Elemental would pull back its arm. At this moment, there was a one second gap between the attack. One second was enough for Søren to do a lot of things. He slashed the Earth Elemental's arm, then suddenly turned around and jumped onto its shoulder. Before landing, he slashed at the enemy's neck with all his strength.
The battle was still going on.
Søren's movements were obviously much more flexible. He seemed to have grasped the pattern of the Earth Elemental's attacks, and the rhythm of the battle gradually began to favor him.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! When Søren slashed at the Earth Elemental's neck several times, the enemy's tall body suddenly collapsed. The stone structure of its body began to decay, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into sand and stones. After killing the Earth Elemental in front of him, he didn't rush to take out the Elemental Core. Instead, he closed his eyes and recalled the battle just now. Then, he let out a long breath.
A notification popped up just now:
"Battle ended."
"You've dealt 8 (+ 2) slash damage to the Earth Elemental! … Target killed! … "
"Extracting soul energy."
"You've received 2600 Slaughter EXP."
…
"In the battle just now, you've learned a lot about your own fighting skills! … "
"You've received information about the ability [Reflex Evasion]."
"You've received information about the ability [Agile Movement]."
…
This was already the second notification.
According to Søren's past experience, there was at most one more notification before he could master the corresponding ability. That was to say, the next Earth Elemental would likely allow him to master two abilities at the same time. Søren waved his hand again at the Halfling beside him. The Halfling's expression was obviously a little speechless. However, Søren didn't have the mood to care about this. He took a short breath and excitedly lured the second Earth Elemental. At the same time, according to the rhythm of the attacks just now, he calculated the interval between the Earth Elemental's attacks.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Gloria's expression became a lot more dignified.
Søren actually became skillful in just a few minutes. Although the efficiency of the battle wasn't high, he was able to predict and dodge the Earth Elemental's attacks in advance. In the end, he was even able to hit the Earth Elemental's joints before it attacked, thus interrupting the Earth Elemental's next attack. The Halfling's expression was already stunned. As a Rogue, of course, he knew how difficult it was to do this. Søren's skills actually improved a lot in just a few minutes. Even he was a little surprised.
Finally.
When Søren killed the Earth Elemental in front of him, the long-awaited notification appeared:
"The battle is over."
"You've successfully learned the ability [Reflex Evasion]! … "
"You've successfully learned the ability [Agile Movement]! … "
"You've received information about the advanced profession [Shadow Dancer]! … Advanced requirements [Reflex Evasion], [Agile Movement], 100 points in Sneak, 50 points in Evasion. … "
…
