Chapter 37 The Third Stage
If there is a choice, Raven would rather Ellison continue to underestimate him until Ellison dies.
This is a luxury of self-comfort.
What really comforted Raven was that he actually gained killing experience. I don't know if it's because of killing them with my own hands, which made the Shadow Festival unable to take away all of Lei Wen's experience. Anyway, Lei Wen received such a series of system prompts. In fact, since no one on Ellison's side is a professional assassin, they didn't know Lei Wen's experience. What skills did Wen use? Just now Lei Wen used more than two skills:
Because your soul has a very high affinity for shadow energy, you have gained the recognition of shadow energy around your body. Now you can temporarily use shadow energy without opening the shadow energy slot. Your total shadow energy depends on Your shadow affinity, recovery speed depends on the density of surrounding shadow energy.
Your temporary shadow power is 365/365, recovering 10 points every five seconds.
Thanks to the soul memory of your previous life, you gain the power of the assassin's shroud. This dark magic from the shadow world flows in your blood, polluting your soul, but it gives you an ability: Cloth your enemies in a shroud of invisibility, exposing their weaknesses. The more layers of shroud your target is wrapped in, the more deadly your blow will be against him.
You put an invisible [Shadow Shroud] on the Blackguard.
The shrouds you put on the target have stacked to 4. These shrouds last until you use this power or until the end of the encounter. Before you make an attack roll against the target, choose to activate all the shrouds on the target or not at all (That is, either take off all or nothing.) If you choose to activate the shroud, all shrouds are removed from the target on a hit and each layer of shroud deals 4d24 additional damage, and a miss takes no additional damage and subtracts one layer of shroud. This extra damage does not gain any benefit from the attacker's damage bonus.
You activated [Shadow of Must Hit]: You walked out of the enemy's shadow, and before he reacted, your blade had pierced in. You deal 22 points of sneak attack damage to the target.
You launched [Assassin Strike]: You launched the most precise attack at the most precise moment, causing an additional fatal damage of 45 points immediately.
You chose to activate the shrouds on all targets, which caused a total of 81 additional damage to the targets.
Your flexible use of the dagger allows you to deal a second blow to the target's throat and cervical spine, with an additional 75 points of damage.
The damage you inflict on the target is: (22+45+81+75) x 2 times critical damage = 446 points. The target dies.
Because the target's soul was extracted by a powerful sacrificial ceremony, only part of the soul energy was obtained. During the conversion of killing experience, you get 8700 points of killing experience.
The rewards for killing a silver-level enemy by two levels are frighteningly rich. If there is no shadow festival to remove the head, Lei Wen will be out this time. Of course, on the one hand, this is an enemy in a weak state, and on the other hand, this is a special gain that Raven only has when he is in the shadow plane. Back on the Ultron Continent, Lei Wen was still that hard-working little assassin of the Black Iron Order.
Even so, the huge harvest still dazzled Lei Wen's eyes like real money, so much experience was enough for Lei Wen to raise the assassin's professional level to level 14.
It is different from the previous funny state that has been upgraded but has no new skills. On the Shadow Plane, even if Lei Wen has not opened the shadow energy slot, it is calculated based on the assassin's special skills for every two levels after level 10. . Now the extra two career levels can temporarily bring Raven an extra assassin skill.
Now Lei Wen can temporarily use the following special assassin skills: Assassin Shroud, Assassin Strike, Shadow Step, Executioner's Garland, Leaping Shadow, Sure Shadow, Shadow Storm and nearly ten skills.
It is worth mentioning here that the four skills involving fear, mind, illusion, and throwing weapons are still unavailable to Raven. Either the prerequisites for this aspect were not met, or there were no props.
Even so, Raven was already very satisfied.
A novice assassin suddenly obtained such abundant shadow energy, he might not even be able to imagine how to use it. Even if he was a legacy assassin, he couldn't master so many skills in such a short time.
Only Lei Wen, who has experienced countless experiences in his previous life, can exert the effect of this temporary shadow energy to the limit.
Of course, Raven now has so many assassin-specific skills, and he doesn't plan to use them all up in one go.
The hole card that can be turned over is called the hole card.
The cards must be uncovered one by one to ensure that each card can play its due role.
After killing a Blackguard, Raven stopped his attacks. After a bit of calculation, it should have almost entered the third stage.
Back to Ellison's side, the loss of the priest is not insignificant.
There are only a few people left in the mighty forty-member team: Ellison, Blackguard, Catrick and Old Thief.
One slap can count.
Any regrets now are superfluous. Ellison had two goals: to kill Raven and to take the Shadow Orb.
Rest is necessary for this.
He could no longer be stingy with divine spells and supplies, and each of the rest gave a healing spell. In the battle just now, every survivor was more or less injured. As a magical beast, Mingshi Mastiff can occasionally make magical strikes that ignore armor. Obviously, the armor on his body has not been penetrated, but his body still suffers some claw injuries.
Ellison healing the Blackguard.
The old thief walked over and said to Catrick, Do you want me to help you treat the wound on your back?
Originally, the old thief was an outsider, and Catrick didn't want the old thief to help him treat his wounds.
Catrick got two claws on his back, and the wound wasn't too deep. The problem was that with one claw, there were three closely balanced wounds, and the claws of canine magical beasts had the most bacteria. If this kind of wound is not treated first, removing bad meat, claw fragments and cleaning the wound, it will consume extra divine power to treat it directly with divine magic, and the fragments will remain in the body.
Things were bad enough now, and Catrick didn't want to burden his master any more. What's more, with Lei Wen, a foreign enemy, watching from the sidelines, and a pile of shadow steel golems not dealt with near the shadow orb, the combat power of the old thief is necessary. I have been secretly excluding this old man before, so it would be better to ease the relationship now.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Catrick finally nodded in agreement.
Agreed or agreed, Catrick was still secretly on guard in his heart, quietly holding his machete with his left hand, pretending to be wary of the distance, but in fact he was guarding against the old thief.
The old thief didn't care, he skillfully removed Catrick's leather armor, took out a medical knife, and wiped it clean.
You can't use fire to sterilize, you can only make do with it.
Well, don't mind.
The old thief began to remove the rotten flesh, mud and mastiff hair that Catterick was clinging to. The frequent and continuous stabbing pain made Catrick frowned.
Ellison glanced this way, and Catrick could only return a stiff wry smile.
The black guard's injury was much more serious, and Ellison didn't look this way anymore, concentrating on treating the black guard's wound.
Actually, Catrick, did you notice that Raven acted abnormally when Fahrenheit was killed just now?
Oh? Why is it abnormal?
That agility is probably already at the silver level?
Oh, in this way, I also found out. That kid is obviously a black iron class, but he has such high agility. This is absolutely abnormal. Catrick nodded in agreement.
The old thief dug out a broken nail of the mastiff, and continued: I once heard a legend about the shadow orb, and now it seems that it may be true.
Ellison looked up, a little unhappy: You should have said it early in the morning. I told you to tell all the news about the Shadow Orb. As for whether you believe it or not, that's my judgment.
Dear Your Excellency Stinger, this is my mistake. Because the Shadow Orb is too rare, and this rumor is not detailed and outrageous, I dare not say it.
Forget about the previous things, you can tell. After Ellison ordered, he continued to treat the wound.
It's like this, the shadow orb of the golden rank or above will start to have its own will. Although it is not spiritual, it will instinctively choose the strongest shadow energy applicator, so it will be happy to see a battle between competitors A festival of slaughter.
What!? Catrick was taken aback.
The old thief didn't stop, and continued: The Shadow Orb not only wants to choose the strongest, but also hopes to choose a master with the most potential and talent. It will reward those candidates who kill their competitors, and let those candidates temporarily obtain The strongest physical quality of the slain opponents is to test their use of shadow skills when they suddenly improve their physical fitness.
Ah! The other three present exclaimed in low voices.
That's too bad if that's the case. This means that Raven will gain the strength or toughness of a silver-ranked blackguard.
Sufficient shadow energy allows rogues to obtain a large number of high-level skills in advance, which is not terrible. Because without the support of physical fitness, no matter how advanced the skills are, they are just impractical ostentation.
As we all know, in the world of Ultron, every 20th level is a level, and each level of professionals will get a leap in physical fitness when they pass that hurdle, so it is normal for a high level to beat a low level.
Now it is actually said that Lei Wen can ignore this gap due to special reasons, how can you make Ellison feel balanced?
Just when the three were deep in thought, the old god thief comforted everyone: Don't worry too much, first of all, this is just an unreliable legend. Secondly, a baby suddenly becomes an adult, can he adapt?
The old thief said so, and the three of them felt relieved. Indeed, the strength and agility of a high-level professional that exceeds the average number of times is definitely beyond the imagination of a low-level professional. No matter how talented Lei Wen is, it still takes time to adapt to this strength and body. So what if he has the strength and agility of the silver rank? The unsuitable situation will make him have more flaws.
As he spoke, the old god stole his left shoulder and said, You still have a fragment of a claw here. I'm going to use a bigger knife to dig it out. It may be very painful.
The claw fragment had already made Catrick very uncomfortable. Until now, he was just trying to bear it: You dig it. I can bear the pain.
Pain...so painful! ? This is……

Thank you for the innocuous reward
