Chapter 165: Chapter 130: New Skill: Giant Shield Charge and Level 2 Knight
His Constitution received another 2-point boost, granting Lin Mo a significant increase in Physical Strength.
However, the newly acquired Skill didn’t seem very user-friendly.
In the midst of the chaos, Lin Mo took a moment to check it.
[Giant Shield Charge]: Use a Shield to violently charge at an enemy (Requires a Shield of a certain size).
In other words, a small Arm Shield like the one on his arm definitely couldn’t be used for this Skill.
’But maybe the Shield created by the [Earth Shield Skill] would work?’
Lin Mo remembered that the Shield from the [Earth Shield Skill] wasn’t small.
So he gave it a try, but it didn’t work.
’So does this mean I’ll have to get a bigger Shield later?’
Lin Mo frowned. Before he got a Magic Storage Bag, carrying a Large Shield on his back would be a real hassle.
That’s right!
He looked at the Secret Silver Gloves on his hands.
The gloves had an effect called "Magic Amplification" that he had yet to use.
Magic Amplification III: Increases the maximum Magic Power output by 20% when using Magic.
This effect would let him use more Magic Power to strengthen his Magic. If he used this amplification effect to strengthen his [Earth Shield Skill]...
Lin Mo immediately put it into practice. Sure enough, the Earth Shield that now appeared before him was slightly thicker, and its size had also clearly increased.
[Giant Shield Charge]!
He once again tried to channel his Qi and Blood, then activated it with his Magic Power and Qi and Blood at the same time—
"BANG—!"
The enlarged Earth Shield slammed forward, directly caving in the face of an adult Mutated Goblin that was charging ahead. Any Ordinary Goblins caught in its path were sent flying.
[Giant Shield Charge] Skill Level +12
[Earth Shield Skill] Skill Level +12
’Not bad at all.’
Lin Mo smiled faintly and nodded in satisfaction.
And with the addition of those 12 points, the [Earth Shield Skill]’s Skill Level also reached the upgrade threshold, hitting Level 3.
"Skill [Earth Shield Skill] Level 2 (20/20) has leveled up!"
"Current Skill [Earth Shield Skill] Level 3 (0/40)"
Gained Attribute: Magic Power +1!
Another point of Magic Power. Including the amplification, Lin Mo’s Magic Attribute had now reached 15 points!
Unfortunately, he had already cast too many spells, and his remaining Magic Power was a bit low. More importantly, his mental state wasn’t great. With the experiment a success, Lin Mo was satisfied and stopped.
The Adventurers’ line had been pushed back more than once, the ground before them piled high with Goblin corpses. Feney’s Magic Power was almost completely depleted, and she had nearly fainted from the mental strain. Ali, who had also exhausted her Bloodline Strength and had no energy left, supported her and took her to the rear to rest.
Some injured Adventurers whose strength was failing were also forced to retreat from the battlefield.
The good news was that the Adventurers who had left earlier had rushed back after the battle at the pass ended, replenishing some of their Combat Power.
And...
"The number of Goblins is starting to decrease!"
At least three thousand Goblins had died in this area. This number of casualties was finally causing the density of Goblins before them to decrease.
But this also meant the Goblins were about to launch their final, most ferocious assault.
The Goblins began to shriek with increasing madness, and casualties inevitably started to appear among the Adventurers.
Lin Mo casually sliced off a Goblin’s head, panting as he looked ahead.
Something dangerous seemed to be lurking in the darkness.
Landon had already used up most of his Magic Power. The heavy mental strain made his head groggy, and his condition was becoming precarious.
But he couldn’t stop now. Without his Magic support, they would never be able to block the Goblins’ final wave.
Landon gripped the Magic Wand in his hand so tightly his knuckles turned white.
However, just as he forced himself to focus and prepare to cast [Wind Roll Skill] again, a short figure hiding among the Goblins suddenly attacked him at an extremely high speed.
Landon seemed to realize something. He aborted his cast, preparing to use [Wind Shield Skill] for protection.
But it was too late!
The figure was simply too fast. Landon had just raised his hand when the enemy was already upon him.
He saw its ugly face. It resembled an Ordinary Goblin’s, but it had ashen-gray stripes.
’It’s over!’
The instant that thought surfaced in Landon’s mind, several streams of Sword Qi suddenly flew out of thin air, precisely slicing off the Goblin’s arm.
Lin Mo’s figure appeared right after, shielding him.
Landon came back to his senses. Looking at Lin Mo’s back, he was Still Frightened.
That sharp blade had been just an inch from taking his head!
Mage was the most Fragile Profession. Even a Level 4 Mage still had a frail Constitution, not much stronger than a Mage Apprentice.
This problem would only see slight improvement after Level 6, upon becoming a Senior Level Mage Professional.
If Lin Mo hadn’t suddenly appeared just now, he would definitely be a corpse!
"Thank you..."
After a hasty thanks, he quickly looked toward the figure with the severed arm.
A Bronze Level Goblin!
Goblins at the Quasi-Bronze Level and above gain different talents at birth.
Some get Strength, some get Magic Power, and naturally, there are also Assassins who excel in Agility.
And the Assassin was the Profession that Mages and Rangers feared the most.
Lin Mo was also looking at the Assassin Goblin before him, which was shrieking in fury.
’Ever since this started, I’ve been thinking... a Goblin army this large, even if it received orders, couldn’t possibly maintain such a high level of organization without continuous commands.’
