Everything happened in one second!
When Søren's figure disappeared into thin air, everything in front of him turned gray. The sky was an eternal gray, even the sunlight and the moonlight were the same color. This one second was very short, and Søren's surroundings were rapidly moving backward. His body was assimilated by the shadows in a short period of time and temporarily transformed into the form of a shadow creature (the physical body became illusory). The surrounding scenery was also distorted. Plane Travel opened a dimensional passage to the shadow plane, which was a spell-like teleportation ability. It could only be used for a few seconds, and it didn't really enter the shadow plane.
The next moment, he appeared behind the Elven Ranger.
The Elven Ranger's shadow twisted strangely. The ferocious shadow turned into a distorted outline, and finally turned into Søren's shadow. Then, a vague figure covered by shadows suddenly appeared.
The Elven Ranger still had a vicious smile on his face. Anyway, he had achieved his goal. The hunters had obviously assigned some of their manpower to deal with Søren and Gloria. This way, he would be in less danger. As long as the hunters were restrained by the three people next to him, he would have a great chance to escape with his ability. After all, he was also a Son of Fear. He even began to plan his escape route. He didn't even have time to change the expression on his face. Just like that, his body suddenly stiffened. The sharp tip of the blade pierced through his chest and pierced his heart in an instant. Then, with a loud shout, the blade twisted violently.
"Die!"
Søren's expression was ferocious. He held the blade with both hands and twisted it. The blade broke through the Elven Ranger's armor and pierced through his heart. At the same time, it twisted a bloody hole in his chest. A crack appeared on the exquisite military-grade curved sword. This weapon couldn't withstand Søren's sudden burst of strength and showed signs of cracking. The shadow behind him was still twisting. The Elven Ranger's shadow overlapped with his own. His whole person looked gray, like a black shadow. When he pulled out the curved sword, the shadow returned to its original appearance, and the blurry face gradually became clear.
The Elven Ranger's body fell straight to the ground. In a situation that no one expected, he was directly killed by Søren!
The Gnoll's ferocious smile remained stiffly on his face. The other hunters were in disbelief.
A bunch of data crazily appeared:
"Activate Darkvision!"
"Activate Shadow Hide!"
"Activate Shadow Jump!"
"Activate Shadow Strike!"
"Shadow Hide successful! … Ability [Evade Sight] activated! … Shadow Jump successful! … Activate Cross-Plane Shadow Jump ability! … Shadow Strike successful … You received 9 points of shadow damage! … Activated Backstab! … You have dealt 121 points of fatal damage … Target killed … "
"Extracted soul energy of the soul! … "
"You have gained 3600 Slaughter EXP! … "
"Target is a divine creature! … "
"Divine Power Extracted divine power! … Received 3 Divinity … "
"Of the target Of the target
… Failed Failed failed failed failed … Divinity storage storage storage … Clergy storage of the divinity You don't have any Divine Spark or Divine Domain to store the Divine Power of Fear! … Target of the target …
…
Behind the dense jumping data were the data that appeared in the second when Søren exploded:
"Thief profession has leveled up to Level 7."
"Received 25 (DEX 20 + (INT 20-10) * 0.5) Skill Points, HP increased by 11 (Profession HP 6 + (CON 20-10) * 0.5)."
…
The 11 HP brought about by leveling up temporarily alleviated his injuries. Although his ears were still temporarily deaf, Søren had regained his perception of the outside world. The anger and killing intent in his heart were extremely strong. He did not hesitate to put the Slaughter EXP into it. The Elven Ranger in front of him must die. Such a strong killing intent even made his pupils become blood red because of the expansion of the tiny blood vessels.
All the Skill Points were allocated to Evade.
Søren reached the requirements to advance into a Shadow Dancer in an instant, and then chose to advance without hesitation.
"Advance into a Shadow Dancer!"
"Advancement requirements: [Reflex Evasion] (Achieved), [Flexible Movement] (Achieved), 100 points of Sneak (Achieved), 50 points of Evade (Achieved) …"
"You have successfully advanced into a Shadow Dancer! … "
"Shadow Dancer's ability bonus activated! … You have spent an additional 5000 Slaughter EXP! … You have learned the Profession Talent [Evade Sight]! … Sneak + 15, Evade + 20! … HP increased by 13 (Profession HP 8 + (CON 20-10) * 0.5). "
"You have gained a free attribute point."
"You have successfully advanced into a Grade 3 profession! … You have gained the opportunity to purify your bloodline. You have gained an additional Ability Point! … "
…
Advancing into a Shadow Dancer cost him more than 13,000 Slaughter EXP. In addition to the extra 5000 Slaughter EXP, he also needed to pay the Soul Energy to level up. However, the strength of the advanced profession was also undeniable. Søren lost a Skill Point allocation from the Rogue level, but he gained an additional 10 points of Sneak and 20 points of Evade. At the same time, he also mastered the most useful ability of the Shadow Dancer — [Evade Sight]!
"Evade Sight [Profession Talent]: The Shadow Dancer has extraordinary Shadow skills. This skill is not comparable to other professions that use Shadow abilities. As long as the body is in the shadows, the Shadow Dancer can use Shadow Energy to confuse the enemy's sight. Under any circumstances, the Shadow Dancer can activate the Stealth skill (also in battle). Even if the Shadow Dancer is exposed to the enemy's eyes, the Shadow Dancer can let himself successfully escape into the shadows and disappear from the enemy's sight out of thin air. " (Level 1 is once a day.)
There was also a limit to the Rogue's Stealth ability.
It was impossible to directly disappear from the enemy's sight. Stealth was a process of merging oneself into the shadows. This process involved the ubiquitous Shadow Energy. There were only two kinds of advanced Rogues that could disappear in front of your eyes in broad daylight. One was the Lurker who mastered [Evade Sight], and the other was the Shadow Dancer who mastered [Evade Sight].
The former directly disappeared into the Shadow Plane, and the latter used Shadow Energy to confuse your sight.
The Lurker was no longer in the Material Plane in this second of escaping into the shadows. He would temporarily enter the Shadow Plane and then come back. When he came back, he would have been completely integrated into the Shadow Energy. The Shadow Dancer used Shadow Energy to confuse your sight in this second. Although you couldn't see his existence, the Shadow Dancer was still in front of you, and you could still attack him.
"The Shadow Dancer profession has been upgraded to Level 2."
"Received 25 (DEX 20 + (INT 20-10) * 0.5) Skill Points, HP increased by 13 (Profession HP 8 + (CON 20-10) * 0.5)."
"Advanced Profession Talent Comprehension! … "
"You have comprehended the Profession Talent [Darkvision]! The Half-Elf Night Vision ability has been superimposed! … "
"The total Rogue profession level is 9 (Level 7 Thief, Level 2 Shadow Dancer). You have received an additional Ability Point! … "
…
One Rogue level increased his HP by 11 points, and two Shadow Dancer levels increased his HP by 26 points.
As an advanced combat-type profession, the Shadow Dancer had a strong evasion ability, which could improve the efficiency of mastering Evasion Abilities. At the same time, the profession level was also 2 points higher than the Rogue. The basic HP of the Rogue was 6, and the basic HP of the Shadow Dancer was 8. It was the same as the basic HP of most Agility-based Warriors. Abilities had to be trained or obtained by relying on Ability Points, but profession talents were abilities that could be mastered directly.
Talents, as the name implied, were innate abilities! Many Talents were special abilities that did not require Ability Points to master!
Talents were basically brought about by advanced professions and innate bloodlines.
A total of 37 HP increased Søren directly recovered a lot from his seriously injured state. His vision had been restored. Although his ears were still bleeding, he could gradually hear. His internal organs that were affected by some kind of supernatural sound wave power quickly recovered. His body that was seriously injured by Vivian's attack had completely recovered. His eyes locked on the Elven Ranger in front of him, and he did not hesitate to upgrade the Shadow Dancer to Level 2.
In the case of a secondary profession, the secondary profession only counted half of the profession level.
Level 7 Thief, Level 2 Advanced Shadow Dancer. Søren's Rogue level was 9 in total. His secondary profession level 5 Wizard only counted half of the level bonus, so his total profession level was about 12. Three profession levels could bring one Ability Point. When the total profession level was above 10 and entered Grade 3, each advancement would also give an additional Ability Point.
Søren directly gave up on upgrading other abilities, including [Danger Sense], [Reflex Evasion Proficiency], [Summon Shadow], and other powerful abilities.
He put all his Ability Points into the [Grasp of Shadows] ability!
"Spend one Ability Point! … "
"Profession ability [Grasp of Shadows] upgraded to [Shadow Manipulation]! … "
"Spend one Ability Point! … "
"Profession ability [Shadow Manipulation] upgraded to [Shadow Weaving]! … "
"Prerequisite met! Sneak 150 (Achieved), Shadow Weaving (Achieved), Advanced Shadow Dancer (Achieved) … You have mastered the advanced ability of the Shadow Dancer, [Shadow Jump]! … "
…
Søren leveled up three times in a row!
He gave up the combat skills of the Shadow Dancer, and also gave up the precious opportunity to directly master [Danger Sense], and also gave up the additional spell-like ability of Summon Shadow.
He almost gave up most of his core abilities in order to master [Shadow Jump] in advance!
One slash.
Søren used Shadow Jump to kill the Elven Ranger in front of him with one slash.
…
(Danger Sense [Supernatural Ability]: Your Perception will predict all attacks, whether it is a magic attack or a physical attack. Any attack against you will inevitably trigger a Perception Test. If you pass the Perceptive Sense test, you will be able to predict all attacks aimed at you in advance, including directional spells. You will gain additional Perceptive Sense ability to dodge all attacks.)
[Note: This supernatural ability can be stacked with the supernatural talent of the super strong sixth sense.]
(Shadow Jump [Supernatural Ability]: You completely assimilate yourself into the shadows and transform into a shadow life form when activating Shadow Jump. In the state of Shadow Jump, any shadow within 100 meters can be used as a landing point for you to jump across planes. This supernatural ability is equivalent to a 100-meter Blink Teleportation spell. It can only be used when you are in Stealth mode and in the shadows. This ability cannot be used to jump across planes to places without shadows.)
[Note: This is the prerequisite ability of the legendary skill, Shadow Step. It can only be used once per day.]
