Cooperating with the bats, Rhodes quickly cleaned up the centaurs around them. The centaurs needed to resist the bats and also need to resist Rhodes' attack, which caused a lot of losses in a short time.
At this time, just when Rhodes was about to attack the centaur in front of him, the vampire suddenly warned Rhodes. Then, there was a burst of wind in Rhodes' ears, and Rhodes hurriedly dodged aside.
A tomahawk spun past Rhodes. Fortunately, Rhodes dodged in time. The tomahawk did not directly hit Rhodes, and the ax blade was deeply embedded in the ground beside him.
Although the centaur leader was fighting the undead creatures, seeing his subordinates die one after another, the centaur leader would not sit idly by and throw the battle ax in his hand directly at Rhodes from a distance.
Throwing the battle ax out, only one of the two battle axes originally held by the centaur leader was left. Seeing this, the centaur leader grasped the remaining battle ax in his hand with both hands, leaped and slashed at the ghost in front of him.
After losing a battle ax, the way the centaur leader fought changed again.
The ghost, which had already received a lot of trauma, was finally unable to withstand the attack of the centaur leader. The ax blade directly penetrated the body and fell from the air.
After killing the ghosts, the centaur leader ignored the ghosts around him and rushed straight towards Rhodes.
At this time, after dodging the flying battle ax, Rhodes also noticed the centaur leader beside him.
The centaur leader charged with great power. As the sound of horse hooves approached at high speed, Rhodes knew that he could not resist the centaur leader's charge.
Charge attacks will have a powerful impact. If Rhodes wanted to block the charge of the centaur leader, it would be tantamount to resisting the charge of the cavalry head-on.
Following Rhodes' command, the surrounding bats quickly surrounded the centaur leader who was charging forward.
The centaur leader completely ignored the bats around him. Under the impact of the charge, all the bats in front of the centaur leader were scattered. Many bats were unable to withstand the violent impact and turned into black mist.
Seeing the leader charging towards the enemy, the remaining centaurs immediately stepped forward to stop the remaining ghosts.
While his centaur leader was still some distance away from him, Rhodes quickly opened the attribute panel.
Rhodes looked at the properties panel. After the previous battle, Rhodes' experience value has reached 2120, which meets the upgrade experience required by Rhodes.
Due to Rhode's level and reaching the advanced standards, the location that originally displayed the required experience points in the attribute panel turned into an upward arrow, and Rhodes quickly selected it with his consciousness.
"Level 3 professional fallen warrior, required prerequisite occupation: swordsman. Required skills: expert swordsmanship, elementary spiritualism. Required experience for employment: 1500"
"Level 3 profession Spirit Summoning Swordsman, required prerequisite profession: Swordsman. Required skills: expert swordsmanship, advanced spiritualism. Required experience for employment: 2000"
"Level 3 professional tomb guardian, required prerequisite occupation: none. Required skills: any advanced skills, elementary spiritualism. Required experience for employment: 1000"
“…”
The advanced professions provided by the system are all determined based on the player's existing special skills. Even if the experience value is sufficient, if the special skills are not satisfied, the player will still not be able to advance.
Although there are many professions below, they do not match Rhodes' own style, so the system ranks them below. According to Rhodes' fighting style, the professions most suitable for Rhodes are ranked above.
In the previous game, due to experiencing the second expansion pack, Rhodes had a lot of knowledge about a series of classes in the cemetery series.
Among the cemetery classes, the most famous one is the Necromancer. Wanting to advance to the third level as a Necromancer Apprentice requires a series of special skills, which Rhodes currently cannot achieve.
As a third-level profession that can be advanced, Rhodes needs to choose between the Fallen Warrior and the Soul-Calling Swordsman.
The system did not provide specific information about these two professions, and Rhodes did not know the bonuses that these two professions could bring. However, based on some information from his past life and the special skills required for advancement, Rhodes also roughly guessed the fighting styles of these two professions.
Fallen warriors focus on combat. Since the special skills required for upgrades do not focus on spiritualism, they are still generally a combat-based profession. The professional bonus should be in the direct damage category and there is no bonus for controlling undead creatures.
The Soul Summoning Swordsman focuses on controlling undead creatures, and does not have high requirements for swordsmanship, which is no different from the advanced swordsmanship required to advance to the Swordsman level.
Just based on the skill requirements for advancement and the cemetery professions he had seen in his previous life, Rhodes roughly knew the differences between the two professions. However, Rhodes had trouble choosing which profession.
It stands to reason that in order to quickly deal with the enemies in front of him, Rhodes should choose the fallen warrior to gain powerful combat capabilities. But Rhodes understood deeply that when advancing into a profession, one should not only consider the bonuses brought by the profession itself, but also consider the impact on the future.
If you choose the fallen warrior, even if your rank is raised again, you can only advance to the cemetery profession belonging to the combat system. The Spirit Summoning Swordsman is different. After advancing, his combat ability does not improve in a short period of time, but his growth potential is far greater than that of the Fallen Samurai.
Rhodes recalled that among the advanced branches of the fourth-level necromancers, there happened to be soul-calling swordsmen.
According to Rhodes' original plan, in order to obtain sufficient benefits in the upcoming war, the pre-selected advanced profession was the Spirit Summoning Swordsman. However, in order to deal with the trouble at hand, Rhodes hesitated a little.
Without thinking for long, Rhodes made the decision to advance to the level of Spirit Summoning Swordsman!
"2000 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 120. The professional level is upgraded to Level 3 Spirit Summoning Swordsman Level 1..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
"The second-level profession [Swordsman] is completed, and the [Swordsman] professional specialties are retained."
"[Swordsman] Professional Specialty: According to the level of swordsmanship, the damage caused is additionally increased. Current swordsmanship level: Expert level, the damage is increased by 20%."
"[Spirit Summoning Swordsman] Professional Specialty: Manipulate Spirit +5. The undead creatures you control gain special skills: swordsmanship based on your swordsmanship level. The current swordsmanship level: expert level, and the undead creatures gain intermediate swordsmanship."
"Your skill [Spiritual Mark] has been improved."
"You have obtained the racing achievement [Go Forward]"
"[Go forward bravely]: Take up any third-level profession. The basic reward is +1 for all attributes. When worn, all damage is increased by 10%."
After taking up the third-level profession, Rhodes clearly felt that his overall combat ability had been improved to a certain extent.
The improvement of all attributes brought by the racing achievement has further improved Rhodes' combat ability.
Rhodes took out the [Dark Asylum] that had been hanging on his body. As Rhodes thought, a black cloud gathered above Rhodes' head.
