After starting with 5,000 points of killing experience, Sauron's expression was a little excited.
He now has more than 10,000 killing experience points stored in advance, which is enough to raise the level of wizards and thieves at the same time. However, he forcibly resisted this impulse. The basic occupation level improvement can be put aside for a while, and there is no need to upgrade to deal with these earth elements. It is best to save it for future promotion of advanced occupations. It is only a matter of time before he triggers an advanced class with his current ability. Even if there is no condition, he can create it himself, such as an advanced assassin.
There are only three prerequisites for an advanced assassin, one is 100 points of stealth, one is the heart of killing (100 heads), and the last is 50 points of alchemy (poison science).
Stealth skills are enough, Heart of Slaughter is a background specialty, and assassins are cold-blooded and ruthless professionals.
As long as the assassination targets reach 100 people, they can automatically master a [Slaughtering Heart] specialty, and increase their willpower by an additional 1 point. Sauron's assassination target is not rare, as long as he is given a little time, it is a small matter to get a hundred heads. As for the last 50 points of alchemy, it takes some time to learn how to make poison. Assassin used to be one of his advanced careers, but in the end he chose a stalker who was better at concealment. (Aborigines in the plot have the profession of trainee assassins, and do not need the specialty of [Slaughtering Heart], but they must complete a series of assassination tasks before they can officially advance to assassins.)
The battle is over.
Just when Sauron was about to find the element core from the corpse of the earth element, a row of data suddenly appeared:
"The battle is over."
"You dealt 7 (+2) points of slashing damage to the earth elemental!... The target died!..."
"Extract soul energy."
"You got 2550 killing experience points."
…
"As you kill again and again, your combat skills become more and more flexible!..."
"You have obtained information about the specialty [Reflex Dodge]."
"You have obtained information about the specialty [flexible movement]."
…
Specialty information appears!
Sauron couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The halfling next to him stretched out his hand and patted him, picked up the elemental core, and asked in confusion, "Why are you so stupefied? Hurry up and kill the next one, there are still many in it!"
Sauron quickly came back to his senses, and looked at his own data display for a while.
He didn't know whether it was because of his accumulation or the battle just now, but he actually got two information prompts at once, all of which were the advanced extension feats of rogues, and if he didn't spend feat points to obtain them, he could only comprehend them through battle. Often people with richer combat experience, even at the same professional level, will master a lot more specialties than those who don't fight very much, so the two seem to be at the same level, and they can be used completely. It's a world of difference.
"Reflex evasion [personal specialty]: In the long-term battle, your conditioned reflex ability has been gradually tempered. When encountering sneak attacks, assassinations, and sudden attacks, you will not appear to be caught off guard, because the nerve reflexes you have trained The ability is enough to deal with such emergencies. When you are attacked by some range and spells, you can also rely on nerve reflexes to avoid the core area of the attack and reduce your damage. [Conditional reflex +1, dodge (rolling) +5 .]."
"Flexible movement [personal specialty]: In each battle, your footsteps become more and more flexible, and you can easily avoid most of the attacks. Your steps are like dancing steps in battle, your steps Dexterity refers to a person like you. When you face an enemy attack, you can avoid a lot of damage flexibly. [Dodge +1, dodge (move) +5.]."
Two specialties that Sauron is very familiar with.
However, he was quite surprised to get the information of two specialties at once.
He fought so many times at the beginning, and he basically didn't get any special information. It is definitely not just a coincidence that two of them popped up at once, and it is most likely due to other reasons. For example, he has now been blessed with 'higher lightness' and 'acceleration', or he was not hit by the enemy just now when he was fighting against the earth element.
The more Sauron thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
Because when he first practiced the 'Extreme Sprint' specialty, he also needed the cooperation of spells to train it. At that time, he blessed the light body technique and advanced acceleration technique, and then ran to the limit on the river, falling into the river more than ten times in a row. Finally mastered the combat specialty of 'Extreme Sprint'. Although he fought a lot in the past, he didn't have the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife like this. Being hit by an earth element is not a joke, and Sauron's attention was highly concentrated throughout the 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 my fighting skills are about to break through?"
It can still be like this!
The halfling was stunned for a moment, then said, "Are you sure?"
Sauron nodded.
In the past, there was also a speculation, that is, in a state of high attributes, the speed of comprehending and mastering specialties will increase. After all, the flexibility of 15 points of agility and 20 points of agility are completely two extremes, and many abilities require corresponding physical conditions Only then can it be mastered. Sauron's agility is 24 points now, which is a higher attribute than when he first trained and mastered it. After all, at that time, no mage was willing to waste precious spells to cooperate with him to train his expertise.
When wizards learn high-level spells, they like to bless themselves with 'wisdom', because high intelligence helps the efficiency of learning spells. He may have also reached the critical point of specialty breakthrough now. The current high attribute state has a training effect on specialties, which is estimated to be several times higher than usual, so two consecutive speciality prompts appear. 4 points of agility spell bonus, equivalent to 8 rogue levels, all free attribute points are allocated to agility.
It is indeed a bit risky for a person to fight against the earth element.
When Sauron drew out an earth elemental, he immediately felt the pressure increase, and without the halfling covering to attract attention, the frequency of his shots dropped significantly, and he had to devote more energy to dodging attacks. Being able to seize the opportunity to cut seven or eight knives in a minute, now the maximum of two or three knives is the limit. Gloria seemed a little puzzled, and only after asking the halfling did she understand, but she looked at Sauron with a strange expression.
A breakthrough? !
This seems to be something that only legendary characters can achieve, right
Where did Sauron get the confidence that he could break through his original fighting skills in just a few minutes of fighting
Is he also the Son of God
It shouldn't be!
His talent is stronger than that of ordinary people, and in some fields it is close to the genius level, but there is still a big gap from the amazing talent of the Son of God!
Clang clang clang.
Sauron attacked one by one, not pursuing a short burst, just ensuring that he would not be hit by the enemy.
He wandered around the earth element, and only seized the opportunity to counterattack after the enemy attacked. After the attack, the earth element would retract his arm, and there was a one-second interval between attacks. One second was enough for Sauron to do a lot of things. He slashed the arm of the middle-earth elemental, then turned around and jumped onto its shoulder, and slashed at the enemy's neck with all his strength before he fell to the ground.
The battle continues.
Sauron's movements were obviously much more flexible, and he seemed to have grasped the law of the earth element's attack, and the rhythm of the battle gradually began to favor him.
Clang clang clang.
When Sauron slashed the neck of the middle-earth element again, the tall body of the enemy collapsed suddenly, and the rock structure of the whole body began to weather, turning into sand and stones all over the ground in the blink of an eye. After killing the earth element in front of him, he didn't take out the element core in a hurry, but closed his eyes and recalled the fighting process just now, and then let out a long breath.
Just now a message popped up:
"The battle is over."
"You dealt 8 (+2) points of slashing damage to the earth elemental!... The target died!..."
"Extract soul energy."
"You got 2600 killing experience points."
…
"During the battle just now, I have some understanding of my own fighting skills!..."
"You have obtained information about the specialty [Reflex Dodge]."
"You have obtained information about the specialty [flexible movement]."
…
It has already been prompted twice.
According to Sauron's past experience, he can master the corresponding specialty with at most one information prompt, which means that the next earth elemental is likely to allow him to comprehend two specialties at the same time. He waved his hand again towards the halfling beside him. The other side was obviously speechless, but Sauron didn't have the mood to take this into consideration. He took a breath and excitedly attracted the second earth element. The attack rhythm that has just been accumulated calculates the interval time between the earth element's waving attacks.
Clang clang clang.
The continuous chopping sounds sounded, and Goliath's expression became more solemn.
Sauron actually became more comfortable in just a few minutes. Although the efficiency of the battle was not high, he predicted and dodged the attacks of the earth element in advance every time. In the end, he could even hit the joints hard before the opponent attacked, so This interrupts the next attack rhythm of the earth elemental. The expression of the halfling was stunned. As a wanderer, he certainly knew how demanding it was. Sauron's skills had improved a lot in just a few minutes, and even he couldn't believe it.
finally.
After Sauron killed the earth element in front of him, the long-awaited prompt appeared:
"The battle is over."
"You have successfully comprehended the [Reflex Dodge] feat!..."
"You have successfully comprehended the [Flexible Movement] specialty!..."
"You have obtained information about the advanced profession [Shadow Warrior]!... Advanced conditions [reflection and evasion], [flexible movement], 100 stealth skills, 50 evasion skills..."
…
