Chapter 3 Ascension
This kind of behavior of pinning his life on skills, and the slightest mistake will cause serious injury, if it weren't for the fact that the attributes are too poor, Rod would definitely not choose.
You must know that it is not in the game now, you can pursue excitement in the game, and now you can only how to stabilize it. However, it turned out to be good, and he killed the skeleton soldier without taking any damage.
After resting against the wall for a while, and once he had regained his spirits, Rod began to check his system logs.
"You dealt 2 damage to the skeleton soldier, and the skeleton soldier used you as the first aggro sequence......"
"You managed to dodge the skeleton's attack......"
"You dealt 25 weakness damage to skeletons, triggered the instant-on modifier, and the damage modifier ......"
"You dealt 43 instant death damage to the skeleton soldier, and the skeleton soldier died ......"
"Brilliant victory! You've gained 10 XP! ”
When Rod saw this, he knew that he could gain experience points through the original in-game method. Thinking that the system log was over here, Rhodes found that there was still a row below.
"You comprehended the combat skill [Burst] in the battle with full concentration!."
"You've learned a skill about stamina, and stamina unlocked!"
[Burst Lv1]: The next attack will consume half of your current energy and increase the damage dealt by 30%. Experience required to level up: 10. ”
Rhodes took a look at the stats panel and found that there was an additional stat under the health and mana values, which was currently displayed at 27/80.
"I didn't expect to be able to automatically comprehend skills, and I remember that in the game, this kind of combat skill has to be learned by a special mentor. I just don't know if it's a skill that can be obtained based on completion, or if it can only be obtained in a battle of life and death. Rhodes got his heart.
Looking at the 10 points of experience on his character panel, Rhodes chose to move up the class level.
"Consume 10 XP and have 0 XP remaining. Raise your class level to Tier 1 Militia Tier 2 ......"
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"
At present, when facing undead creatures, with the battle consciousness of his previous life, Rhodes relies on his existing speed attribute to cope with their movements, but the damage caused may be low, especially when facing slow but bloody walking corpses. Thinking of this, Rhodes assigned attribute points to strength, which is currently 8.
Skill points can be used to learn various special skills, and if attributes are the foundation, then special skills determine the positioning of the character. Since there are no restrictions on special skills in the game, and any special skill can be obtained with skill points, the use of skill points is often especially important.
Seeing that he had gained a little skill point, and thinking of the battle he might face next, Rhodes directly used it to learn elementary swordsmanship.
(Beginner swordsmanship: Years of experience with swords have given you a certain summary of how to use swords, and you can become proficient in using conventional swords.) Your mastery of normal swords is increased and the damage dealt with regular swords is increased by 10%. )
Rod felt a series of techniques for using the sword come to his mind, and then reacted to his body. First of all, the posture of holding the sword has been adjusted by itself, as if the best way to hold the sword has been found in the daily training of swinging the sword, and the various other postures of the sword are also integrated into the body instinct. Holding the weapon in his hand, Rhodes felt a sense of reassurance.
After sorting out the gains from this battle, and when his strength value returned to more than half, Rhodes was ready to move on.
The passage was still so deep that a little fluorescence could not illuminate the hidden darkness, and the skulls crooked at their feet seemed to tell that there had been a battle here.
Slowly moving forward for a few tens of meters, with the help of the ghostly light in this passage, Rhodes saw two undead creatures not far away, namely the walking corpse and the skeleton soldier.
The walking corpse was the first to spot Rhodes in front of him, and let out a roar of unknown meaning. The skeleton soldier also noticed Rhodes and rushed towards him, the walking corpse slowly following behind.
Rod, whose attributes had been slightly improved, didn't want to fight between life and death like last time, and watched the skeleton soldier raise his sword and slash at him, Rod took two steps back to avoid its slash, and took advantage of the gap exposed after the skeleton soldier slashed the empty space and swung his sword to slash at the skeleton soldier's body.
Since skeletons have no flesh, this slash does not have a good effect. Rod understood it himself, so he flew up and kicked the skeleton soldier in the waistbone. This kick Rhodes used the skill [Explosion], the skeleton soldier was directly kicked unstable, and it took two or three steps back to stabilize, revealing a gap in front of him, Rod took advantage of the victory to pursue, and cut off the skeleton soldier's head with a heavy slash!
Just as Rhodes was slaying the skeletons, the walking corpses behind him rushed to Rhodes' side, grabbing Rhodes with their green claws. Rhodes had just burst out with all his strength to kill the skeleton soldiers, and he couldn't dodge this claw for a while, so he could only block it with his arm to avoid being hurt by weakness.
In an instant, there were four more blood marks on Rod's arm, and the pain in his arm was accompanied by bursts of numbness. Rhodes understood that he had been poisoned by corpses.
"Careless......" Rhodes knew that he couldn't drag it out at this time, the walking corpse's health was more than twice as thick as that of the skeleton soldiers, about 100, and he could have killed the walking corpse by consuming blood one move at a time with the advantage of speed, but now that he has received the injury, he has to be careful to be consumed by it, and there is no other way to deal with the injury except for speed to solve the battle.
Thinking of this, the next attack of the walking corpse also arrived, still a one-handed claw attack, Rhodes retreated to avoid this attack, and took advantage of the walking corpse's action to hold a sword and stab it into the throat of the walking corpse, and at the same time used the skill [Burst].
Just as the sword plunged into the throat of the walking corpse, something unexpected happened to Rod. It turned out that the durability of the sword in Rhodes' hand had been reduced to zero, and Rhodes originally wanted to pierce the throat with a sword to kill the walking corpse in seconds, but he didn't expect the sword to break before it pierced the throat of the walking corpse.
The Walking Corpse struck at this moment with another claw, and Rhodes hurriedly dodged backwards, stooping down to pick up the iron sword held by the skeleton soldier before, and then slashed off the head of the Walking Corpse before the next claw strike of the Walking Corpse arrived.
"That is, low-level undead creatures such as walking corpses and skeleton soldiers can use their weaknesses to decapitate in seconds, like a yin soul can float and be difficult to decapitate, vampires will not die for a while after being decapitated, and the death knight's soul fire is directly in the chest, and after being decapitated, he can continue to ......fight as a headless horseman," Rod sighed.
Rod looked at the system log at the end.
"Brilliant victory! You've gained 25 XP! ”
"You have comprehended the combat skill [Heavy Slash] in the heat of battle."
[Heavy Slash Lv1]: Consumes 10 energy, and the next slash will deal 120% damage to the base attack, and the damage will be increased to 160% when attacking weak points. XP required to level up: 5. ”
The pain in his arm alerted Rhodes that he should find a way to regain his health.
Rhodes checked the lower stats panel, half-blooded, bleeding, corpse poison...... With 25 XP and 20 XP required to level up, Rhodes chose to move up the class level.
"Consumes 20 XP and has 5 XP remaining. Raise your class level to Tier 1 Militia Level 3......"
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"
In the game, assigning free attribute points to the constitution can not only increase the maximum value of health and energy, but also restore a lot of health and energy, which can probably restore health and energy to two-thirds of the full state.
Rhodes doesn't know if this has an effect now, but based on his previous experience, the attribute panel and experience points are all there, so this effect is likely to be retained.
Rhodes assigns free attribute points to constitution, and when he sees that his health and stamina are back to most of them, Rod understands that this is still valid. This is undoubtedly good news for Rod, who lacks the means to recover his health at this time.
At the same time, Rhodes also saw the state of corpse poison on the attribute panel. The Corpse Poison state does not deduct much health when it lasts, but it makes people easily tired, that is, the energy consumed increases abnormally, and it is likely that they will be weak in battle.
"Originally, I wanted to keep the skill points for learning the four systems of spells in the future, but now it seems that I should use them first."
In order to avoid physical exhaustion in battle, Rhodes chooses to consume a little skill point and learn primary resistance.
(Primary Resistance: You have some resistance to any abnormal state, including but not limited to vertigo, fainting, poisoning, paralysis, burning, frostbite, and charm.) You get a reduction for any spell damage you take, which is about 5% of the damage. There is a very small chance that you are directly immune to a spell damage. )
At this point, the Zombie Poison and Bleeding symbols on the Attributes panel have disappeared. Rhodes felt a tingling sensation on his arm, and the wound from the walking corpse had scarred.
