Chapter 64 - 64: 064 First Piece of Excellent Template
Charge!
The newcomer activated his Charge skill in a split second.
He transformed into a shadowy figure, covering several meters in an instant, charging with force into the Gate of Bone, aiming straight for Dean McKenzie! As for the skeletons obstructing his path?
He didn’t cast them a glance.
In his eyes, Dean, the Necromancer Apprentice, was overly cautious and lacking wisdom.
Was he seriously expecting a group of skeletons to save his life from a first-turn warrior?
What a joke, what good could a pack of skeletons do in front of him?
He could crush them within minutes!
“Die for me…damn it!”
The newcomer’s roar was interrupted as Doggy Two instantly cast the Bone King skill.
Although the newcomer was a first-turn warrior, he fell into near one second of chaos under the mighty controlling skill Bone King.
Dean seized that opportunity and unleashed a single Bone Fang.
Then, there was no more ‘then’.
Within less than two meters distance, as the enemy fell into a second of confusion.
By the time he freed himself from the confused state, Dean’s Bone Fang had pierced his forehead.
[You’ve successfully killed a Bloody Warrior (Level 24). Since you haven’t undergone a job change, you cannot gain Experience Points!]
In less than ten seconds, a Bloody Warrior, three levels higher than the previous Jay Murray, disappeared.
Nevertheless, as this Bloody Warrior fell, Dean’s temples started throbbing.
Wild Intuition activated.
Simultaneously, Dean, who was under sensory perception status, vaguely felt a presence approaching him.
Subconsciously, Dean activated Holy Light Protection.
Instantly, Dean felt as if he was being embraced by a muscular man, making himself feel uneasy!
But this feeling saved his life.
Jutting from the glow of the holy light, a dagger halted behind Dean’s head, revealing an unknown figure.
The stranger’s face changed, retracting his dagger to escape instinctively.
Dean instinctively activated the third effect of Holy Light Ring.
“Flash Light Skill!”
A flash of holy light shone and Dean felt a prickly itch throughout his body.
The Skeleton Pupil Fire beside him became dim; if one didn’t know better, they might think Dean was hurting himself.
The person on the other side was in worse shape; he was momentarily blinded.
Dean hurriedly took advantage of the situation and launched another Bone Fang.
In this close range and the enemy’s blindness, Dean thought he would hit for sure.
What Dean didn’t expect was…no hit!
The enemy had very rich battle experience. Once blinded, they immediately used a skill to retreat towards the right rear side, avoiding the Bone Fang attack.
With such a wealth of experience, terrifying speed, and the earlier invisibility ability.
If Dean were alone, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against him.
But he was unlucky; Dean was not alone.
The enemy was experienced, but Dean’s reaction was quick. He almost instantly manipulated the Skeleton Mage to fire a Little Nether Flame Ball.
At the same time, Doggy Two was commanding the skeletons to swarm.
Dense Skeletons constantly closed the space around the Assassin. Yet, it still took Dean another three Bone Fang attacks before he could hit.
And it even just grazed by his scalp.
It was only the fourth Bone Fang that hit his shoulder, and the fifth that pinned him to the ground. In the end, the Assassin was squeezed by Doggy Two and the others. Dean managed to take him down only on the sixth Bone Fang.
This fight, although Dean controlled from the beginning, was still nerve-racking!
“These Assassins really are scary.”
While experiencing the thrill, Dean’s eyes were also exceptionally bright.
After all, he already acquired the Skeleton Assassin template.
Dean was silently resolved to cultivate a higher-graded Skeleton Assassin when he got back.
At the moment Dean brought down the Assassin, Anthony’s voice rang out, “A first-turn warrior and an Assassin, both dealt with in two minutes and twenty-three seconds. Not bad!”
Dean turned his head at the sound and realised that Anthony had been in the dormitory without him knowing when.
Clearly, Anthony had arrived long before.
Stephenson smirked, prepared to speak, but Anthony beat him to it; “What are you looking at me for? I’ve recorded your merits. Hurry and collect your spoils. We’re running out of time!”
“Sure!”
Stephenson gleefully collected the spoils off the two bodies, hesitated for a moment, and casually Extracted from them.
[Extraction from the Bloody Warrior has failed!]
[Extraction from the Bloody Assassin is successful. You’ve obtained 1 point Agility, and an Excellent Template Fragment!]
The Assassin surprisingly held an Excellent Template, a pleasant surprise for Dean.
However, what was even more surprising was that Anthony had not noticed when he used his Extraction on the two. This was undoubtedly good news for Dean, greatly reducing the chances of exposing his talent.
Compared to these two, the items on the Bloody Warrior and Bloody Assassin were not as satisfying to Dean.
Between the two of them, they only had 4 Gold Coins, just enough to reimburse Dean’s loan to Bell Bella.
As for the equipment, a dagger and a blade, both Black Iron Equipment but they’re both first-turn level 21 equipment, needed a minimum of level 21 to equip, so Dean could only store them away for now.
Dean quickly collected the items and closed the Gate of Bone before heading over to Anthony.
“Anthony, what is the deal with them? Are the Fallen Professionals so bold now?”
Anthony sneered at Dean’s question: “Do you have a misunderstanding about Fallen Professionals? What do you mean by ‘so bold now’?
They’ve always been bold, okay?
However, their target on you is indeed related to the previous incident. We’ve taken out Bloody Church’s base in these few days.
You’re facing reprisals from the remnants of the Bloody Church.
By the way, you are now being targeted by the Bloody Church.”
Dean was unfazed by Anthony’s words. The Bloody Church’s attacks were generally weak and Anthony arrived timely, making Dean confident and not too worried.
“Let them target me, every fibre of my being is against drug addiction!”
Anthony promptly gave Dean a kick in his butt.
“Quit messing around!
Also, your current attitude needs adjusting. Don’t underestimate the Bloody Church; their two failed operations against you were a result of them misjudging your strength.
The same mistake, they could make it twice, but they definitely won’t make it a third time.
If they take action against you again, a second-turn professional will come at least, even a third-turn professional is not impossible!”
Anthony’s words startled Dean, turning his face pale.
Seeing Dean get scared, Anthony satisfiedly nodded: “Let’s go, time to make your career transition!”
Should we do the two-chapter update at 18:00 later, right?
