Chapter 94 Ultimate Difficulty (3)
I was speechless for a moment. Although what he said seemed to make some sense, I couldn't swallow this tone. Besides, facing the thirty skeleton warriors, I had no chance of winning at all. If I could never defeat them, wouldn't I never be able to advance. What "genius" and "star of hope" are full of splendor and the prospects are beautiful, but not only did they not take care of me, but they artificially set up so many obstacles for me. If I had known this, it would have been better for this "evil" undead wizard.
I sighed. I wanted to make a few words and refute a few words, but suddenly I was in a state of despair and I didn't want to say anything more. No matter what, it was impossible to beat these old foxes. In the end, I had to accept these reality. Why do I have to make unnecessary struggles? The big mistake has been made and it is irreversible. I can only do my best to do my best and leave my destiny.
Turn around and walk towards the entrance of the "battle space". Since you are here, go in and challenge it once. If you lose too badly, leave. With my current ability, I can still help Afeng and Tongxin Alliance to do something in a short period of time. When I lose strength in the future, I will sell the magical artifacts on my body. It would be better to return to real life. After all, I am just an ordinary person, neither has extraordinary qualifications nor super abilities. With temporary luck, I have been through the present. It is actually very good. There are so many gamers. How many people can I really succeed?
"Although the 'Summoning of the Undead' is the most powerful skill of the wizard, it does not mean that you cannot fight without it. Don't let it become your burden. You must know that the wizard belongs to a magician profession, and the basic combat methods are the same. Don't ignore the others because you are used to relying on 'Summoning of the Undead'. An excellent wizard may not have no chance of winning against thirty skeleton warriors, not to mention that you are not just a pure wizard..."
Old Mason's quiet words rang in my ears again, and my heart suddenly shook, but my footsteps did not stop at all, and my body slowly disappeared from the dark entrance.
Am I too dependent on "Summoning the Undead"? It should be right, every battle victory is achieved directly or indirectly by a large group of undead. In addition to it, only "One Rider" uses more when escaping. The practice of other skills is just to achieve three-star proficiency and meet the conditions for promotion. In my heart, I have never expected to use them to defeat the enemy. I seem to have forgotten the identity of a magician. When fighting, I treat myself more as a thief who can use the "Summoning the Undead" skill.
In the round arena, the light is similar to the "Nether Space". The other side opposite is divided into three rows and neatly arranged thirty skeleton warriors. In the eyes of me, the undead wizard, all of them are well-proportioned and firm in the skeleton. You can tell at a glance that they are carefully selected elites.
While I was looking at them, the neat queue suddenly scattered. Thirty skeleton warriors set up a fan, holding a knife in their right hand and holding a shield in their left hand, running towards me fiercely, without giving me any time to buffer.
What can I do? Escape. Fortunately, the space is not too small, and they are not fast. They can use "a stalwart" and can easily avoid the attack for the time being. It is really the first time that a person faces so many enemies, facing so many enemies alone.
The skeleton warriors were not as fast as me, but they were still swaying their swords and shields to chase me. They were numerous and powerful, so I dare not delay them at all, for fear of being surrounded, so I could only keep looking for opportunities to fire "corrupt bone arrows" in the movement, hoping to kill a few quickly, but since I took too much, I have been lacking in this area. The hit rate in sports wars is really terrible and the effect is very small.
Now I finally realized my huge advantage in mental power, which is enough to support continuous consumption, frequently exert "one horse" that consumes double mental power, escaped from the skeleton warriors' siege again and again, and blindly shot "corrupt bone arrows" everywhere, and a large number of black pounced on me. How could I calm down and aim for a target attack?
After a long battle, they couldn't do anything to me, and I didn't kill many of them. The battle situation was stalemate, but the continuous running consumed a lot of my physical strength and I was already a little breathless. My innate physical strength was not good, and I needed to sprint back and forth, and the speed of consumption was far greater than that of them. After looking at the more than 20 skeleton warriors who were still pursuing tirelessly, I smiled bitterly in my heart. I had no attack power without the "summoning of the undead". This alone already destined to my fate of failure.
As my physical strength slowly exhausted, my movements became slower and slower. I finally fell into the siege of the skeleton warriors. Although I tried my best to resist and shot two more skeleton warriors, I slashed my sword and my health quickly fell to the end.
Back at the Dead Hut, I slowly walked towards the door. Thirty skeleton warriors only killed six. How could such a result be able to complete the ultimate difficulty "practical test"? The mental power is enough, but the thin physical strength is not enough to allow me to fight endlessly. It is not something I can do right now.
Old Mason sat motionless in the middle of the cottage, his eyes slightly closed, and did not look at me, and was indifferent to my actions, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
I have already walked to the door, and as long as I raise my legs, I can leave here forever. I moved my arms and wanted to push open the door, but I felt extremely heavy and could not lift it up. Am I willing to give up like this? I asked myself, no, I am unwilling to give up, but what can I do? There are not five, ten, and thirty skeleton warriors, even if they stand still, it will take some time to kill them. Isn’t this a fool dream to destroy them in battle?
I turned around and glared at Old Mason with resentment. If he hadn't been pretending to be a ghost there and tempted me to make a wrong choice, he would not have ended up like this. Choosing an ordinary difficulty based on his strength is still very promising to defeat ten skeleton warriors.
"As a person, the most important thing is to have confidence in yourself and be clear about what you should stick to. If your heart has given up first, it will be difficult to succeed no matter what you do." Old Mason did not look at me, but suddenly sighed again.
Confidence? Do I have confidence in myself? When I can perform the "Summoning the Undead", I am absolutely confident. Even the three-headed Flame Wolf of Level 5 monsters are not afraid at all. The one-on-one single-handed single-handed challenge once narrowly surpassed the Thousand Years of Corpse King. Now facing thirty skeleton warriors, am I afraid? Yes, the situation this time is different. Without the help of my younger brothers, I can fight against the crowd. Even if the artifact is in hand, I can only deal with one at a time. If I don’t have the ability to deal with group attacks, I am already afraid before the battle. I have greatly reduced my strength. How can I win?
Give up? Persistence? My heart was swaying, and after Old Mason said that, he continued to close his eyes and restlessly, and he would never say anything. He really couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Looking back on the past, there are so many people who have given up. I have made countless decisions, but not many people can persevere. Is it because of this that I still achieve nothing and live in a daze? Is it because of me that I can’t do it at all, or do I lack the belief of perseverance and perseverance to the end?
I let out a deep breath, turned around and sat down, waiting for the recovery of my health and physical strength. This was a difficult challenge. It was aimed at both the undead wizard Ah Dai who came out in the game and also reflected the Li Dai in reality. Maybe he had no ability or bad luck, but at least I should have an unyielding heart. If my heart has given up, what else can a person do?
After entering the "battle space", there were still thirty skeleton warriors rushing towards me. This time I tried my best to calm my mind. While dodging their attacks, I identified a target and kept releasing the "rotten bone arrows". It was no longer a purposeless random move like last time, and by accidental collisions to kill the enemy. This really significantly improved the efficiency of the attack. Skeleton warriors began to scatter into a bunch of scattered bones. However, my thin physical strength was still not enough to support me in destroying all the skeleton warriors. After killing thirteen, my physical strength reached its limit again and was killed in the skeleton warrior's butcher knife again.
Although it failed again, it has made great progress compared to the first time. At least it proves that my combat method is correct. The only thing I need to do is to find a way to improve my attack efficiency, strive to hit the target with every "rotten bone arrow" and kill a skeleton warrior in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can I kill all thirty opponents before my physical strength is exhausted, and pass the "practical combat test" of ultimate difficulty.
Failures again and again, and continued again and again, killing fifteen, seventeen, eighteen... I was slowly improving and gradually adapting to the fighting style of the magician. Maybe at the beginning I still remembered that I was a magician, but when I had a large number of undead brothers to call, I gradually ignored other magic skills and forgot the normal combat mode. Now I am awakening those lost memories.
How long have you been persisting? It’s probably more than twenty hours, and how many times have you failed? I can’t remember it. When I recover, I go in and challenge. The closer I get successful, it’s more difficult to kill one more skeleton warrior. Every progress requires hard work, try every means to improve combat efficiency, and use as fast and labor-saving as possible to kill every enemy.
I was no longer able to dodge anymore, and shot and killed the skeleton warrior rushing in front. I fought with the last skeleton warrior with a bone knife. Not only did I release the "corrupt bone arrow" with my right hand, but my left hand was not idle. I grabbed the thief's dagger and stabbed it wildly. Even if the damage was not great, I could fight a little more at a critical moment.
Fortunately, the continuous bloody battles made the fighting nerves a little tougher, and my mind was still calm. The several "corrupt bone arrows" I fired were not lost. They hit the target accurately and finally took the lead in killing the last skeleton warrior, and laughed to the end of my victory.
Accompanied by a dazzling black light, exhausted I was teleported to the center of the Dead Cabin. Although the chair was close at hand, I really didn't have the strength to move anymore, so I could only sit on the ground helplessly.
Old Mason, who had not been moved, suddenly appeared in front of me, facing me as soft as a pool of mud, but had no intention of coming forward to help me. He just straightened his body and shook his ugly face happily, "Junior Undead Wizard Ah Dai, congratulations on successfully passing the ultimate difficulty 'practical test' mission and achieving the qualification to be promoted to the intermediate Undead Wizard."
I glared at him fiercely and ignored him. Although the final result was good for me, I was always tricked by these old guys. I would be angry if I was a clay man. I had already decided to listen more and watch more, and not to get along with them unless necessary, so as not to accidentally get caught in again.
Old Mason touched such a soft nail, but was not angry. He turned around and sat on a chair next to him, still looking at me with a smile, waiting for me to recover.
I was barely able to act, so I struggled to kneel in front of the statue of the dead old man, and started the promotion ceremony under the leadership of old Mason. Because I passed the ultimate difficulty of the promotion mission, this time the dead old man personally gave me new power, which felt much stronger than the last time. I seemed to sense the existence of the dead old man. The last thing that came to my mind was his hateful smile.
The professional title became an intermediate undead wizard, and the badge was changed to yellow. After checking the various attribute values, the stagnant power value finally increased a little, becoming a medium red, and the agility value also increased slightly. The light orange color appeared darker, and there was a faint trend of transitioning to a medium orange color. These two attributes were irrelevant to most magicians, so there was not much increase. What surprised me the most was that the health and physical strength value actually surpassed the heavy red and showed a deep red color. It really gave me a surprise. It was better to this level earlier, and there was no need to fight as hard as it was.
The mental value should be the biggest beneficiary. It has crossed two levels in a row and reached the light green standard. The progress is very fast. Xue Wuxia and the others have only shown heavy orange yet. Even if they advance to an intermediate magician, it is impossible to reach the level I am now. But after all, I am a magician profession that relies on mental power to fight, which is also expected.
A new level 3 skill learned is "Undead Shield", which belongs to the protection magic. Once cast, it can transform into a circular shield with a diameter of about half a meter and fly around the body. It blocks the attack on its own. The duration and the strength of the shield depend on the caster's mental power. It is an extremely practical skill. Even if the level is higher in the future, it can still perform a good protective effect.
