Chapter 164: Chapter 130: New Skill: Giant Shield Charge, Level 2 Knight
Judging by that performance, he wasn’t just a simple Level 1 Warrior. He had to be at least Level 2, maybe even close to Level 3!
To have such strength at his age... he was truly a promising young man.
"Everyone, look ahead! Some big ones are coming!"
Just then, someone cried out in alarm. He looked forward and, sure enough, saw several figures that looked exceptionally tall next to the Ordinary Goblins heading their way.
’So they’re finally here. Mutated Goblins.’
Landon’s gaze sharpened. He was about to act, just raising his Magic Staff, when he suddenly saw a sharp sword slash streak through the air.
The next moment, the flash of the sword vanished. The lead Adult Mutant Goblin had its chest pierced through and collapsed to the ground with a wail.
’Such a fast sword!’
Given Landon’s status and power, he had naturally seen many formidable Warriors. He even had two Level 2 Warriors in his own party, but it was clear that none of them possessed the speed of the young man before him, Lin Mo.
Moreover, Landon hadn’t even noticed when he had moved past. It was almost as if he were an Assassin!
As he thought of this, he suddenly recalled the scene of Lin Mo casting Magic earlier...
’It can’t possibly be true, can it?’
Seeing Lin Mo easily deal with the few Mutated Goblins, Landon retracted his Magic Power and temporarily set aside the thought of intervening.
Lin Mo’s actions were fast and decisive, striking before anyone else. As a result, he happily farmed a wave of Skill Level.
[Invisibility] Skill Level +8
[Continuous Thrust] Skill Level +8
[Continuous Thrust] Skill Level +5
[Shield Strike] Skill Level +5
...
With Lin Mo’s current Attributes, he could even use a less offensive Ordinary Level Skill like [Shield Strike] to easily one-shot a Mutated Goblin. Killing them was now no more difficult than killing an Ordinary Goblin.
However, this was only the beginning. Lin Mo looked ahead as more and more Mutated Goblins began to appear.
It was obvious, just as he had analyzed, that these Goblins intended to launch a flanking surprise attack on Silver Moon Town’s front line from here. Thus, they had deployed a heavy force, sparing no expense.
More and more Mutated Goblins charged over under the cover of a large number of Ordinary Goblins, instantly putting the Adventurers under immense pressure.
Even Professional Level Adventurers had a hard time defeating a Sub-adult Mutant Goblin quickly. An Adult Mutant Goblin could drag them into a bitter fight. At the same time, they had to be wary of sneak attacks from other Goblins, which made them fight with their hands tied and inevitably put them at a disadvantage.
The Goblins’ advantage in numbers became even more apparent with the addition of these Mutated Goblins.
Feney became busy, holding her Magic Staff and providing Healing to the injured Adventurers who had fallen back.
Ali also began using the power of her bloodline, continuing to weave through the horde of monsters.
Landon raised his Magic Staff, strode forward, and pointed into the distance. He once again cast the Excellent Level Magic, [Wind Roll Skill], that he had used at the beginning of the fight. He aimed it directly at the Goblins’ rear, sweeping up numerous surrounding Goblins—including the Mutated Goblins—and tearing them to shreds.
The powerful Magic created a temporary gap in the Goblin Army, buying the Adventurers a moment to breathe.
But this moment was all too brief. Soon, the continuously surging Goblins filled the gap.
Landon could only cast the Magic again, and once it ended, cast it once more to fill the breach.
Casting one Excellent Level Magic after another, his expression was no longer as calm as before. His face gradually grew solemn.
An Excellent Level Magic consumed a full 16 times the Magic Power of an Ordinary Level Magic! The strain on his Spirit was also not to be underestimated.
’I can only cast this Magic three or four more times at most before I have to stop.’
’I’m the strongest Combat Power here. I have to conserve at least half of my strength. Otherwise, if stronger Goblins appear later and my Magic Power is depleted, I won’t be able to handle them.’
’From now on, I can only use the less effective Wind Blade.’
As Landon’s magical bombardment ceased, the pressure on the Adventurers immediately ramped up again.
The stronger Level 2 Professionals spontaneously began to deal with the more difficult Mutated Goblins to relieve the pressure on the less powerful Adventurers.
In the midst of this chaotic situation, Lin Mo had already killed an unknown number of Goblins.
[Shield Strike] Skill Level +1
[Continuous Thrust] Skill Level +5
[Shield Strike] Skill Level +1
[Shield Strike] Skill Level +1
...
A continuous stream of notifications appeared before his eyes. Because [Continuous Thrust] was an Excellent Level Skill and not well-suited for this situation, Lin Mo simply started using [Shield Strike] more often as his offensive method.
He reserved [Continuous Thrust] mostly for dealing with Mutated Goblins to ensure a one-hit kill and avoid wasting time.
As a result, the Skill Level for [Shield Strike] skyrocketed.
"Skill [Shield Strike] Level 3 (40/40) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: [Shield Strike] Level 4 (3/100)"
...
"Skill [Shield Strike] Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill: [Shield Strike] Level 5 (Max)!"
"Obtained attribute points: Constitution +2!"
"Automatically evolved into a New Skill—Giant Shield Charge!"
"Comprehended Skill [Giant Shield Charge]! Constitution +2!"
The consecutive increase of 4 points in Constitution slightly replenished Lin Mo’s depleted Physical Strength. With this 4-point boost, his Basic Physique Attribute also reached 21 points, meeting the benchmark for a Level 2 Knight.
And so...
"Promotion conditions met. Professional Knight (Level 1) promoted—Current Profession: Professional Knight (Level 2)."
"Received Professional Attribute Amplification: Strength +1, Constitution +2!"
