Chapter 389: Chapter 208: People of Two Worlds (2)
’This Skill really is useful.’
Especially in a situation like this. Although the Taunt Skill belongs to the Knight Profession, its success rate and duration are related not only to the Level difference between the two parties but also to the target’s Spiritual Attribute.
Needless to say, the Level gap between these Ordinary Goblins and Lin Mo was immense. Their Spiritual Attributes were also rock bottom—one or two points at most.
So when Lin Mo activated Taunt, he locked their aggro so completely that it was almost impossible for it to be redirected.
In an instant, the youths felt the pressure on them vanish. The Goblins in front of them had stopped attacking completely. Every last one of them was swarming the newly arrived Adventurer. Some even turned their backs, refusing to fight back even as they were struck by swords and axes.
Ignoring their numbers, a single Goblin wasn’t very strong; a normal adult would have no problem killing one. Their bodies were also extremely Fragile. If a Goblin didn’t fight back, even a woman or a half-grown child could kill it.
So, upon discovering that the Goblins wouldn’t fight back at all, the youths grew excited, swinging their weapons and relentlessly reaping Goblin heads.
The other Agility System Professionals who had arrived with him also joined the battle.
With their strength, dealing with these Ordinary Goblins was just as effortless.
With the villagers out of danger, Lin Mo could finally relax and focus on testing the New Skills he had just acquired.
He naturally started with the Magic-type Skills. Basic Magic like the Earth Spike Technique and the Water Ball Skill were relatively easy to practice.
With Lin Mo’s current Magic Power, the range and damage of his basic Skills were considerable. Each cast of Magic could kill at least three or four Goblins. If aimed at a denser crowd, a single spell could even take out seven or eight.
The Skill Level of these two Skills grew at a tremendous rate.
Earth Spike Technique Skill Level +1
Earth Spike Technique Skill Level +1
...
Water Ball Skill Skill Level +1
...
Countless notifications of rising Skill Level flooded his vision, so Lin Mo simply disabled them for the time being.
Casting Magic was so satisfying that Lin Mo didn’t even want to try his other Skills.
’So this is what it feels like to be a Mage, overwhelming everything with a magical bombardment?’
Despite being a Mage for so long, he rarely had the chance to spam Skills like this.
Before, he was either in high-stakes battles or on a true battlefield, where he had to conserve his Magic Power and use more cost-effective, large-scale AOE Skills.
’Large-scale Skills are satisfying, of course, but it seems this feeling of constantly bombarding enemies with small Magic Skills is pretty great, too!’
The Taunt Skill had already been active for over two minutes.
All the Goblins were still swarming toward Lin Mo like mad, only to be blasted into the air by his Magic.
...
By the time Landon and Alton arrived, the scene was a complete mess. All the Goblins had been slaughtered.
Only then did Lin Mo notice that a Quasi-Bronze Level Goblin had been hiding among the horde—it must have been their leader.
He had no idea when one of his Magic spells had casually killed it.
With Lin Mo’s current Magic Power, even the most Ordinary spell was more than a Quasi-Bronze Level Goblin could withstand. Killing it was basically no different from killing an Ordinary Goblin.
’Well, if I had to point out a difference, it would be that it gave more Skill Level.’
The battle was over. Lin Mo glanced at his gains from the fight.
First were the two Basic Magic spells he had used as his main form of attack.
Because the form of the Earth Spike Technique was better suited for such a chaotic situation, Lin Mo had used it more often. Its Skill Level had therefore increased faster, and it had already reached Level 4.
"Skill [Earth Spike Technique] Lv1 (10/10) has been upgraded!"
...
"Skill [Earth Spike Technique] Lv3 (40/40) has been upgraded!"
"Current Skill: [Earth Spike Technique] Lv4 (13/100)"
"Gained Attribute Point: Magic Power +1!"
Although he had used the Water Ball Skill relatively less, it still reached Level 3.
"Skill [Water Ball Skill] Lv1 (10/10) has been upgraded!"
...
"Skill [Water Ball Skill] Lv2 (20/20) has been upgraded!"
"Current Skill: [Water Ball Skill] Lv3 (27/40)"
"Gained Attribute Point: Magic Power +1!"
In total, that was another two points of Magic Power, bringing Lin Mo’s Basic Magic Attribute to 85. He was now halfway to Level 9.
In addition, there was the Taunt Skill.
This Skill’s leveling method seemed to be related to the level and number of taunted targets, as well as the duration.
Although the Goblins were all low-level, there were a lot of them, and the duration was quite long. As a result, Lin Mo still gained a considerable amount of Skill Level.
This caused the Taunt Skill to also jump to Level 3.
...
"Skill [Taunt] Lv2 (20/20) has been upgraded!"
"Current Skill: [Taunt] Lv3 (34/40)"
"Gained Attribute Point: Constitution +1!"
This finally brought Lin Mo’s Basic Constitution Attribute to 40 Points.
"Promotion conditions met. Professional Knight (Lv3) has been promoted—Current: Professional Knight (Lv4)."
"Gained Professional Attribute Amplification: Strength +1, Constitution +3, Agility +1!"
’Finally...’
Compared to his Warrior and Assassin Professions, which had reached Level 6, and even his Mage Profession at Level 8, the progress of his Knight Profession was truly lagging far behind.
