I m Really Not Targeting the Mages - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The Campaign Towards the Corpse Demon!

The key expertise.

They might be considered particular methods of the Hermit Ranger career. Not solely have been the training necessities demanding, as well as, 100% impact may solely be exerted when holding the specialty weapons.

Every weapon had its personal secret talent.

Resembling Crimson Moon, which corresponded to a set of sword methods referred to as [The Nineteen Rays of Moon].

Because the identify prompt, there have been a complete of 19 stances on this secret talent.

Roger had solely realized the primary stance.

The training requirement for the second stance was LV10, which he had not fulfilled in the interim.

However Roger was not in a rush.

Anyway, he additionally had not obtained sufficient [Chivalry Points].

The so-called chivalry level was what wanted to be paid to be taught the key expertise of Hermit Ranger.

Chivalry factors have been much like expertise factors, however they may not be obtained just by killing monsters.

In line with Roger’s commentary, it appeared that chivalry factors may solely be obtained by resolving some particular occasions.

For instance, standing up for injustice.

After these sorts of deeds, he may get a chivalry worth of about 1 to three factors.

One other instance could be to kill a monster that had been inflicting disasters to an space, relieving the creatures from struggling.

After such sorts of deeds, he may obtain a chivalry worth of about 6 to 10 factors.

This was Roger’s hypothesis: For the reason that career of [Hermit Ranger (Xia Yin)] had the phrase “Xia**”, his deeds might need to fulfil the definition of “chivalry (Xia)” to be able to get chivalry factors.

As for the precise quantity of chivalry factors obtained, it in all probability trusted the scale of the beneficiary group of the chivalrous feat.

So, if he needed to get extra chivalry factors, he must do some high-risk duties.

This was in distinction to Roger’s low-key fashion, so the chivalry factors he had gathered to this point have been pitifully few.

Luckily, after killing the Crimson Tide Corpse Queen, he had been rewarded with 9 chivalry factors.

Earlier than this, he had already gathered 2 chivalry factors. After deducting the 5 factors wanted to be taught the [Rays of Moon], solely 6 factors have been left.

Now, Roger was confronted with a tough alternative——

Inexperienced Beetle Sword and Violet Wind Bow respectively corresponded to 2 secret expertise: [Cloud Mist Footwork] and [Superior Breathing Technique].

…

[Cloud Mist Footwork]

[Rating: A (Footwork that reaches the acme of perfection)]

[Details: Learning the 1st tier of Cloud Mist Footwork can increase dodge by 2 points (total 13 tiers)]

[Consumption: 5 chivalry point / 1st tier]

…

[Superior Breathing Technique]

[Rating: A+ (Breathing technique to help in concentration)]

[Details: Learning the 1st tier of superior breathing technique can increase concentration by 2 points (total 9 tiers)]

[Consumption: 6 chivalry point / 1st tier]

…

To be honest, he needed to be taught each.

Dodge and focus have been each attributes that have been tough to enhance and have been essential in fight.

Sadly, his chivalry factors weren’t sufficient.

After weighing his choices over and over, he lastly selected [Cloud Mist Footwork].

For Roger, his precedence had at all times been expertise that might save his life.

He tried the Cloud Mist Footwork within the yard, however he couldn’t actually see the impact.

In spite of everything, the advance on dodge was tough to look at with the bare eye, even the Qi Divination Approach was no exception.

“I ponder what number of dodge factors the Cloud Mist Footwork would supply.”

“If the dodge factors could be elevated to the max, coupled with my full magic resistance, wouldn’t nobody else be capable to damage me?”

At this second, Roger’s ideas ran wild.

…

Two days later.

At daybreak, close to a farm outdoors Tongma City.

One adopted by one other, quite a few figures spontaneously approached the hanging pumpkin lantern, and at last, increasingly more folks gathered there.

They have been all absolutely armed and geared up with all of the wanted provides.

They appeared extraordinarily excited, however all of them restrained their need to speak to one another.

They have been the primary batch of members of the monster campaign workforce after the reorganization!

On the similar time, additionally they represented the strongest fight energy that Tongma City may assemble!

…

Dorothy, sporting a fragile leather-based armor, stood amidst the group, fastidiously counting the variety of folks.

Behind her stood an unsmiling middle-aged man.

Though he appeared a bit previous, the large two-handed broadsword behind him clearly confirmed that this warrior from the Gem Metropolis was not straightforward to mess with.

He was Uncle Terry that Dorothy had talked about.

Not distant, on the fringe of the group.

Roger wore a cloak generally used when strolling within the wild, and hid most of his physique below the cloak, revealing solely a portion of his face.

In the beginning, many individuals checked out him curiously.

However quickly, the eye of those younger adventurers had been attracted by the younger and delightful captain.

Roger favored this sense of being ignored.

On the similar time, he was additionally happy with Dorothy’s alternative to present a low-key begin to this expedition——

Kane’s failure final time resulted in suspicions concerning the monster Corpse Demon.

Somebody even prompt a terrifying principle that the Corpse Demon might need an ally within the city.

Though Roger didn’t imagine on this, it was nonetheless higher to remain low-key somewhat than attracting an excessive amount of consideration.

There have been certainly many pairs of eyes scrutinising the newly shaped workforce within the city.

“Everyone seems to be right here!”

Dorothy put away the namelist and glanced over the adventurers one after the other.

Her voice was clear and agency. “On this campaign, the workforce consists of 35 folks. Amongst them, three are vanguards, 19 are assist personnel, and 13 are the primary drive of the campaign.”

“I can’t assure that everybody will come again alive, I solely promise that once we come again, we’ll carry again the corpse of the Corpse Demon!”

“For Tongma City!”

“For the harmless residents who died within the arms of the Corpse Demon!”

“For Kane!”

“Goal: Southern Mine.”

“Set off!”

There was no pointless inspiring speech, no tedious mobilization course of, however just some sentences laying out the details earlier than everybody.

The residents of Tongma City had been deeply troubled by the Corpse Demon, so there was no want for a lot nonsense.

All of the adventurers who participated within the campaign workforce got here with the conclusion that they could die!

Everybody clenched their fists tightly, gathering the 2 fists collectively and touched them evenly, after which set off in a troop.

On the forefront was the vanguard workforce that consisted of three scouts.

They’d be speeding to the southern mine as shortly as potential, and go deep into the territory of the Corpse Demon to offer intelligence assist for the primary drive of the campaign.

Then there was the assist workforce.

The assist workforce composed of 19 skilled adventurers would observe within the footsteps of the scouts, and later, enter the primary large-scale monster gathering space within the southern mine: Dwarf Mountain.

They’d wipe out the neighborhood of inferior dwarves that had been entrenched right here for a very long time and set up the primary assist base for the primary drive.

When the primary drive arrived on the base, they might get a superb provide and a superb relaxation on the raised hill.

After that, it might then be the time for the 13 members of the primary drive to point out their expertise.

Of their plan, they might minimize off on the quickest pace the [Bone Outpost] that the Corpse Demon had organized south of the Dwarf Mountain, after which await the scouts’ info.

Ultimately, they might select a good terrain to battle in opposition to the Corpse Demon and its skeleton troopers in a last battle!

Solely Roger, Dorothy and Terry have been eligible to see this battle plan by the Lord’s Mansion prematurely.

To be trustworthy, the Lord’s Mansion had certainly been planning fastidiously for a very long time for the battle at this time.

“Hope all the things will go easily.”

Combined among the many crowd, Roger didn’t stroll quick.

As the primary drive, they have to protect their energy.

About two hours later, they utterly left the territory of Tongma City and set foot on the sting of the southern mine.

Right now, an enormous wave of darkish clouds drifted from the south.

The Qi Divination approach confirmed nothing irregular.

Nonetheless, Roger felt an inexplicable anxiousness in his coronary heart.
