During this period of time, the Game Church's guards weren't having a good time. They were all a little paranoid.
* Boom! *
Every once in a while, there would be a sudden sound of collision from above. The new guard was on high alert and was about to go up to check, but the seniors stopped him.
"It's fine. Chief Editor Rorschach is just bored and practicing jumping off a building. You'll get used to it."
"… Not only does he have a strange appearance, but he also has such a strange hobby."
At this moment, the person who was hanging upside down from the ceiling of the Temple of Light almost fell down when he heard the Temple Knights' evaluation of his practice.
"… What are you talking about? You're the one who has nothing better to do than to jump off a building! How do I look strange? Strange hobby? I'm just practicing, practicing my class skills. "
But in a way, the Temple Knights' comments weren't wrong. Rorschach was indeed practicing jumping off a building.
After all, in a way, jumping off a building was the core ability of Rorschach's current rank 2 dark ranger, Cliff Walker.
Actually, if one understood the nature of the ranger job as described earlier, one would know that although there were rangers living at the edges and depths of forests, the ranger job class wasn't a job class that only lived in forests.
The reason why they chose forests as their main living area was because of the dense nature aura there, which was suitable for ranger training and practicing their own path of nature.
However, forests were very rare in the Underground World. Moreover, it was hard to say whether areas filled with poisonous mushrooms, glowing moss, and magical plants could even be considered forests.
There were all kinds of underground caverns, narrow holes, winding passages, and broken cliffs. Even though they were very close to each other, one would often have to take a long detour to find the way. These were the main landforms of the Underground World.
As a ranger job class that had reached a balance with nature, they had always regarded the environment as their most trustworthy friend. Naturally, they would develop a ranger job class that was suitable for local survival.
The Cliff Walker was a dark ranger job class that was extremely suitable for the Underground World.
His core ability was Spider Walk. This supernatural ability existed in both the Arcane Mage's rank 2 spell and the Druid's rank 2 divine nature spell. It wasn't a rare ability.
During the effective time of the spell, the victim's limbs would have a strange stickiness, allowing them to easily crawl on walls and buildings, just like a human-shaped spider.
Since it was regarded as a single advancement, a qualified Cliff Walker could basically maintain the effect of Spider Walk for a long time. They could even hang upside down on the cliff for a long time, waiting for their prey to arrive.
When you carefully walked through the dark underground cavern, there would be a Dark Ranger hanging from the ceiling watching you. Then, when you walked past, the Dark Ranger would slowly take out a heavy crossbow and aim at the back of your head … This was also the reason why in ancient times, the Cliff Walker was called the Spider Queen's envoy, the Eight-Clawed Killer.
In order to achieve this perfect combat style, they also had a few class skills in addition to their core ability, Arachnid.
Featherfall was a very simple low-level spell. It allowed you to fall from a great height like a feather.
This low-level spell wasn't rare. It often appeared on rings and cloak enchantments. It wasn't expensive either, so adventurers often chose to use it as a small tool.
Some Dark Rangers chose to learn this low-level spell themselves, while others chose to equip themselves with Featherfall, allowing them to jump from a great height when necessary.
Spider Dagger was a special dagger. The tip of the dagger had an elaborate mechanism and enchantment effect. It could easily drill into rock walls and tree trunks. After activating the mechanism, it could release the spider's teeth and let the dagger fall.
The tail of the dagger was often tied with spider silk from the Underground World's powerful Steel Sword Spiders. These magical spiders were the size of a human and were very rare among the black-blood elves. They were made of hundreds of strands of Steel Sword Spider silk. Although they were still as thin as a strand of hair, they were extremely tough.
By stabbing the dagger into a rock wall, the Cliff Walker would be able to adjust its position and direction by using the spider silk. It could even continuously throw the dagger and retract it, allowing it to travel in midair for a long period of time without landing. It was just like Spiderman in the movies.
Spider Dagger, Arachnid, Featherfall, and other support tools for long-distance observation and night vision. There were also tools for gliding and flying for short periods of time. Together, these tools gave the Cliff Walker unparalleled mobility and initiative. When fighting against the Cliff Walker, one wouldn't even know where the Cliff Walker was at the brink of death.
On the surface, the Cliff Walker's mobility was still effective. It was just that the rock walls had become trees in the forest and houses in the city that made it easier for them to climb.
As for their attack methods … The Cliff Walker was only a rank 2 job. Just grasping these comprehensive abilities and gaining the mobility to fly at high altitudes was already enough for a rookie Ranger to learn for several years.
Apart from nature magic and magic, the Cliff Walker also had special techniques for using the spider dagger. Hanging upside down in three-dimensional space and walking required an extremely strong physical fitness and balance, as well as long-term training and polishing.
Su Nanna didn't make things difficult for Rorschach. In order to maintain this three-dimensional movement method, the Cliff Walker would have to constantly resist the pull of gravity. Not only would the Cliff Walker need to be highly focused, the stamina consumption would also be several times higher than running at full speed.
Only when all these conditions were met would the rank 2 Cliff Walker job class be able to walk at high altitudes on rock walls and ancient trees as if they were flying.
Su Nanna had also mentioned before that Rorschach's Cliff Walker job class had a unique advantage …
"Being short and light can actually be considered an advantage …"
Yes, this was the greatest advantage of being a Cliff Walker. Their small size and light weight allowed them to use the spider dagger and spider silk to move in midair. Their advantages were obvious … Just look at the 1.6 meter tall person next door who was already the strongest human. Rorschach, who falsely claimed to be 1.5 meters tall, actually had an even greater advantage in this aspect.
After truly understanding the Cliff Walker job class, Rorschach unhesitatingly put all his energy into it. Perhaps the Cliff Walker job class, which focused on mobility, didn't have any offensive abilities, but just the fact that this job class was extremely suitable for escaping and saving one's life was extremely suitable for Rorschach's current needs.
Moreover, Rorschach himself wasn't completely defenseless.
Generally speaking, Cliff Walkers who had just advanced to rank 2 would choose to use small crossbows, small crossbows and other silent crossbows to achieve silent assassinations in specific environments.
In order to reduce their weight, they didn't wear heavy armor or even carry long weapons. Not only would it be difficult to guard against assassinations, but if they were discovered, they would also be weaker in direct combat.
The attacking methods of experts? Even more powerful ones? Those people wouldn't lack killing methods, so they could use them however they wanted. Those spider daggers that could pierce through stone walls could also pierce through a person's brain as long as the attack method was tricky enough and difficult to guard against.
At the very least, Su Nanna didn't need to carry anything other than the silver needle-shaped spider dagger.
As for Rorschach? Just the ability to move around like a martial arts master was enough to make him very happy.
Currently, he was jumping and moving back and forth between the buildings of the Church. This wasn't just to train his abilities as a rank 2 Ranger. He was also trying to combine this method of movement with his own swordsmanship to make his attacks even more unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
"Boom!"
But judging from the heavy landing sound and the habitual and numb attitude of the onlookers, Rorschach, who fell at least 20 times a day, was still far from success.
Roxia declined the priests' kind offer to heal him. After all, it was highly unlikely that he would fall to his death in the game. Roxia's face was bruised and swollen as he climbed up the tower once more.
