Did I trigger an advanced profession?
I can't believe I actually triggered the advanced profession of Shadow Dancer.
Søren glanced at the others with a hint of joy on his face and said slowly, "I've broken through. I feel like I've comprehended some skills! "
The Halfling looked at him as if he was looking at a monster.
Gloria's expression was also very strange. In just a few minutes, Søren's combat skills could be said to have improved in a straight line. This was also very surprising for a knowledgeable witch. Only Vivian didn't care about anything. She clapped her white little hands and said with sparkling eyes, "Brother is so powerful! Just now, I was completely playing with a monster! "
Two abilities that increased the ability to dodge.
Although they were not as good as the [Legendary Dodge], [Legendary Reflex Dodge], and [Legendary Intuition Dodge] that he once had, it also allowed Søren to find the feeling of being at ease in battle. Even if the process of the battle was very dangerous, he could still find the calm feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife. Abilities could be improved little by little. As long as you understood the most basic ability and had the attributes to master it, it was only a matter of time before you improved it. As the number of battles increased, the basic ability would gradually become a high-grade ability.
Ordinary Dodge was a comprehensive ability, which was an extension of the Agility class such as the Rogue.
Reflex Dodge was adjusted according to the Agility value. The higher the Agility, the faster the nerve reflex, and the stronger the ability to dodge in sudden situations. Finally, there was Intuition Dodge. This was the most difficult and the most effective evasion skill. It required a very strong Perception ability to predict any dangerous attacks in advance. Monks were experts in Intuition Dodge. If ordinary Dodge was the improvement of the basic skills, then Reflex Dodge was the instinctive reaction in sudden situations. As for Intuition Dodge, it was the intuition of the next danger before the enemy launched an attack or was about to launch an attack.
[Intuition Dodge] was one of the most difficult abilities to train. Except for the Monks and their advanced professions, it would take a long time for other professions to train!
Moreover, there was a relatively high Perception requirement. In the later stages, one would need to accumulate extraordinary Perception.
Monks had many evasion skills, and they could also extend the ability [Deflect Flying Arrows].
…
The halfling stared at Søren and muttered, "Do you want another one?"
Søren shook his head and said slowly, "I can't. I'm almost at my limit. If I want to improve further, I'm afraid I'll have to accumulate more combat experience. Recently, I've been comprehending something, but I only found the opportunity to break through just now. "
To be able to comprehend two specialties in one go was already considered a good accumulation.
Søren wasn't naive enough to think that he could level up again so quickly. There were strict requirements for his dodging techniques, and he had just reached the critical point of breaking through, which was why he was strengthened by the spell. The body's instinctive reaction was accumulated gradually. The more battles one fought, the stronger the instinctive reaction. In the end, it would develop the ability to dodge subconsciously.
"Then let's speed up."
Gloria looked deeply at Søren, then whispered, "There's only ten minutes left for the spell."
Søren nodded, picked up his curved sword, and entered the canyon. The halfling looked at him enviously, then followed with his short sword. This kind of breakthrough really needed talent. Not even one in a hundred Rogues could break through temporarily. They needed a long time to accumulate. A large altar could be seen in the canyon. It was surrounded by huge stone pillars that were about ten meters high. The center was divided into nine steps, and in the center was a stone platform that looked like a compass.
The Earth Elementals on the periphery were a little better, but the Earth Elementals inside were obviously different.
They were larger in size, and there were more rock structures all over their bodies. Even their appearance was closer to that of a human.
"Be careful." Søren clenched his curved sword and said in a deep voice, "These Earth Elementals may be advanced elites. Among them, there may be guys who have learned the skill [Earth Throw]. If you see them grabbing rocks, run away immediately. "
[Earth Throw].
It was a spell-like ability. The Earth Elementals could condense energy and throw a boulder. The damage could reach up to 100 points.
Being hit by the boulder would result in instant death.
Most Elementals had no intelligence, even lower than the Undead. The intelligent Elementals were legendary creatures, such as the Djinn, the Water Djinn, the Earth Djinn, and so on. Such Elementals belonged to divine creatures. Many of them were born with the divinity of demigods. Occasionally, they could even summon powerful Elemental Gods. One of the more famous summoning spells was the legendary [Wish]. The Djinn would fulfill some of your wishes according to the principle of equivalent exchange, including resurrecting the dead!
These were the oldest creatures. Most of them slept in the Elemental Plane. Most of the Elementals that appeared in the material plane had low intelligence. They relied entirely on instinct to move in some areas. Occasionally, they would respond to the summoning of the spellcasters and serve them. The Earth Elementals in front of them were like this. They had been here for a long time and would not leave the canyon.
…
Søren made a gesture to the halfling next to him.
The two once again joined forces to attract the attention of the Earth Elementals. The halfling was responsible for restraining the enemy while Søren seized the opportunity to deal damage. Gloria glanced at the altar from afar. Her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if she was a little uneasy. She looked up at the sky. There seemed to be a falcon circling in the sky. Because the vision in the canyon was not good, she was not sure if it was a wild falcon flying over. Most wizards were very vigilant. Gloria once again cast a protective spell, and then approached the front.
A pure-blooded spellcaster would never use up all their spells. They would always leave a few spells to deal with unexpected situations.
One, two, three.
When Søren dealt with the ninth Earth Elemental, the situation in the battle suddenly changed.
The Earth Elemental, which was obviously much taller, waved its hand. A huge rock that weighed about half a ton automatically flew into its hand. It suddenly threw the rock at the little mouse that had been harassing it. The huge rock with the whistling sound of the wind was like a black shadow falling from the sky. In an instant, it smashed a deep hole in the ground.
"Aladdin!?" Søren shouted, and the speed of his attack slowed down a little.
A voice with lingering fear came from behind the rock. The small halfling came out from behind the rock, patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death! Just a little bit more and I would have turned into a meat patty! "
With the agility of a Rogue, it was not difficult to dodge if they were prepared in advance. If it was a Warrior, it would be more troublesome.
The Earth Elemental's Earth Throw could only be used once or twice a day. Søren did not dare to be careless. At the same time, he activated the ability of Shadow Strike. When attacking the advanced Earth Elemental, there was an additional 6 shadow damage. The shadow energy could directly attack the energy core of the Earth Elemental. As long as it was successfully touched, it could erode the elemental energy it formed. The halfling seemed to be angered. At the same time, he also activated the energy attack of Shadow Strike.
This was the most common spell-like attack for Rogues below Legend!
The advanced Earth Elemental quickly fell to the ground. After Søren took out the Elemental Core, he rushed to the altar. The nearby Earth Elementals were almost killed.
Their spell buffs were also about to expire.
The scattered Earth Elementals were still wandering around. They had an alert range. If they did not get close, they would not be noticed.
"Where's the treasure?" The halfling excitedly approached the altar and whispered, "It's empty here. There's nothing here."
Søren looked around vigilantly and slowly said, "There should be a secret compartment up there."
"Don't rush up there. Let me see if there are any traps nearby."
After saying that, he walked around the altar a little. There were scattered Earth Elementals nearby, but it was very troublesome to deal with them without any spell buffs. Although Søren felt that it was a pity to lose the Slaughter EXP, it was better not to kill them all. This kind of place connected to the portal was more special. There might be things from the Elemental Plane coming over. Killing them would easily alarm things like the Spirit of the Earth. He had suffered a loss because of this before. After killing all the young ones, an old one would suddenly pop up.
He quietly made a gesture to the back. Gloria immediately prepared to cast a spell, and Vivian stood nervously next to her.
When they passed by a stone pillar, Søren gently pressed on it. Then the altar made a loud rumbling sound, and a secret compartment appeared in front of the others. The portal needed energy to maintain, and most of the sacrifices offered to the Elementals were gems. These things would not be exposed outside. Generally, they would be somewhere in the altar. He made a gesture to the halfling next to him. The halfling immediately walked up excitedly, then carefully took out several gems and quickly put them into his pocket.
Søren walked slowly along the altar. His figure paused for a moment, then he took out a yellow stone from the left corner of the altar and put it into his pocket in the blink of an eye. It was not very eye-catching, and it did not have any obvious aura. If one did not look carefully, they would even think that it was an ordinary stone. The size of the stone was about the same as a pebble. The surface was quite smooth, but it was heavy when he picked it up. It weighed almost three pounds.
He got it!
Søren immediately looked at the halfling and said in a deep voice: "Take it and leave quickly. The portal here is no longer working. It may alarm the creatures from the Elemental Plane."
The altar made a loud rumbling sound.
It seemed that the whole ground had sunk a little. The halfling quickly put things into his multi-dimensional bag. Fortunately, Kindler did not have many things. Most of them were all kinds of gems.
High-grade Elementals would sometimes eat them directly, as if they were chewing beans.
Dong dong dong!
A loud sound came from under the altar. Søren did not care about the rest of the gems. He picked up the halfling and ran out of the altar. There was probably an Elemental Spirit sleeping below. He hoped that it was not something like the Spirit of the Earth.
"My! … My gems! … "
The sorrowful cry of the halfling was still echoing. Gloria had quickly cast a spell, and the four figures directly flew out of thin air.
— — "Group Flight!"
The altar shook faster and faster, and the center even began to collapse. When Søren and the others flew to a height of about 300 meters, a huge rock arm suddenly stretched out from the ground, followed by a Rock Giant about ten meters tall. It made a dull sound, and it looked like it was roaring, but there was no trace of anyone nearby. The huge figure circled around the canyon, and then returned to the bottom of the altar, which had turned into a sand-like ruin.
"That was close!" The halfling wiped his cold sweat, looked at the huge Elemental monster, and murmured: "We can't deal with this big guy."
Søren's expression was relatively calm, but he could not help but curse in his heart: "I knew they were hiding something. How can a Legendary-level quest be announced so casually? It turns out that there is a guardian below."
With more adventures came more experience.
In fact, Søren did not believe that a Legendary-level quest would only have a few Earth Elementals guarding it. That was why he had arranged for Gloria to walk behind and use Flight to leave when necessary. The monster below was probably a Rock Giant, an advanced branch of the Earth Elementals. Its strength was only a little lower than the Elemental Elders, and its monster level was about 18-20.
This was not something they could deal with.
Søren glanced at the canyon from afar, calculating in his heart what kind of strength could safely kill it.
This guy must give a lot of Slaughter EXP!
