Assimilate All Talents

Chapter 85: Skeleton Mage

Wind blades appeared and flew towards the two tower shield wielding undead. It was an obvious attack, and the two Awakened Shieldbearers reacted by both using their skill [Barricade]. Sol also had the skill and knew its details well.

[Barricade] Lv 3: Take a defensive stance that greatly enhances defense by 300%. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Sol had fought these undead before and learned the skill for himself. It was a great skill that allowed one to block powerful attacks, but it had one glaring weakness. Once it was activated, they couldn’t move for the duration.

"Amber, now!"

A blur jumped out from the side and dashed towards the Skeleton Mage. Its skull was chattering as it appeared to be casting a spell, but before it could finish, Amber arrived behind it. Unleashing a flurry of stabs, the cast was interrupted, stopping whatever spell it was about to cast upon Sol.

Being caught unprotected, the Skeleton Mage was unable to endure the swift onslaught, and its health was reduced to zero before the [Barricade] duration was complete.

You have slain a Lv 60 Skeleton Mage! Gained 84,000 Exp (420%)

[Intermediate Fire Magic] leveled up! (4 -> 5)

[Quick Cast] leveled up! (7 -> 8)

With the death of the mage, the two shieldbearers were easy pickings for the duo and were quickly dealt with.

You have slain a Lv 60 Awakened Shieldbearer! Gained 84,000 Exp (420%)

Seeing the last system message, Sol’s eyes widened, and he immediately checked the updated description.

[Sharpness] Lv 4, [Penetration] Lv 4

’It’s still good.’

Sol had been careful with his sword not taking any strong hits with it and only using it to deal damage. He now took the brunt of hits with his sword instead and mixed in even more magic to his fights to not wear down his weapons as much.

"Hey Amber, how are your daggers looking?"

Wordlessly, she presented her daggers filled with scraps and scratches to Sol.

The Lost Twins

Rare

Attack: 45-55

"Okay they look fine as well, you down to keep going?"

Amber nodded.

The two decided to delve to the next floor, wanting to make the most of this trip.
