Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 10: Cut Throat
[Cursed Zombie]: LV4, HP 60/60, fat body, Holy Light/Holy Water damage doubled, normal attack halved.
…
If there is no holy water, these thick-skinned zombies will really be a headache for professionals.
But in the eyes of Marvin, who has holy water, these zombies are actually moving experience gift packs.
As long as you handle it carefully, there won't be any big problems.
He immediately ordered: "Block the right side and block all zombies that try to enter!"
Anna nodded. Marvin's miraculous performance made her obey his orders. She immediately followed his instructions and blocked the right side of the gap.
An ugly head stuck in and was kicked back by the half-elf housekeeper!
Her strength is still pretty good.
"Great." Marvin praised and used his machete to pry open the thick wooden board on the left!
Bang!
The gap suddenly widened.
"What are you doing?" Anna was a little surprised.
As the gap grew larger, the fat zombie suddenly squeezed in as if he had taken stimulants. The path that Marvin opened for him was just enough for him to rush in alone!
Marvin was extremely calm and nimble. He suddenly made a quick attack, raised his knife and chopped the zombie on the forehead!
[Normal attack successful! ]
[The effect of holy water is doubled! You caused 24 points of damage to the target! ]
The cursed zombies had no vital parts, so even if their heads were cut off, they could still continue to cause trouble. Marvin simply attacked his head because it was easier!
The fat zombie roared and tried to force his way in.
Marvin dodged the opponent's attack, and Anna kicked the zombie in the chest, making him stagger.
"Well done!" Marvin pounced at the right time.
"Just do it, don't attack, let me do the attack."
Marvin didn't know whether Anna could also gain killing experience by killing zombies. In order not to waste it, it would be safer to get the experience himself.
He came with great force, and with one blow of his right hand, he chopped off 28 points of the fat zombie's health. He then struck again with the dagger, which was also coated with holy water, and the zombie died.
The fat zombie contributed 32 kill experience points to Marvin.
The following process became very simple and boring. With the bonus of holy water, Marvin could kill a zombie with two or three strikes. In addition, there was a level 5 warrior on the side, and Anna's support always came so timely, and she didn't steal experience, which made Marvin sigh that it was difficult to find such a teammate.
Taking advantage of the zombies' stupidity and the gaps in the wooden house, Marvin artificially created a favorable terrain to trap the monsters.
The zombies came one after another, died generously, and gave Marvin one experience package after another.
Twenty minutes later, there were zombie corpses lying all over the ground outside the cabin. A few zombies were blocked outside by the corpses and could not enter. Marvin went out personally and killed them easily and happily.
A total of 29 zombies contributed 856 killing experience points to Marvin!
This experience is enough for him to be promoted to level 4!
Marvin was delighted. The sorcerer Hessen was really nice. Not only did he give him experience and equipment, but he also sent a bunch of minions over knowing that Marvin's level was still low.
However, he hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not raise his ranger level to level four.
It takes 800 experience points to upgrade from a level 3 ranger to a level 4 ranger, but you can only get some skill points and bonuses to health, attack power, etc. These things are not so important to Marvin for the time being.
His experience in killing has other uses.
[ Pay 500 killing experience points...]
【Throat-cutting technique learned successfully! 】
In Marvin's personal skill list, there was a new skill that only a second-level Phantom Assassin could master!
【Throat Cutting 46】
Personal skills cannot be increased through skill points, but can only be improved through continuous practice. Marvin has mastered the throat-cutting technique, so he has 46 points at the beginning!
The reason why he slowed down the pace of upgrading and chose to spend killing experience to transform this ability into a skill was because of the superiority of skills in Fenan's world!
Normal attacks and skill attacks are absolutely different!
First of all, even though Marvin was very familiar with the throat-cutting action, he could still make some deviations if he used normal attacks! These deviations, seemingly inadvertent, could very likely affect the entire battle situation! However, when using skills, there would be no deviations!
Secondly, the skill damage is more than twice that of ordinary attacks! With the increase of skill points, the damage will continue to increase. When killing these small monsters, cutting the throat can also have a fatal effect, but when facing some monsters with strong armor and regeneration ability, ordinary cutting the throat may be helpless!
After mastering the throat-slitting technique, he mastered his first powerful attack skill!
Combined with the 50-point stealth [Unexpected Attack] effect, it can also directly deal four times the damage!
The Ranger is known as a panacea because of his omnipotence, which can develop in any direction. Of course, omnipotence often means mediocrity, but Marvin will not let this happen. As a legendary player, he knows the world too well and can strengthen himself in various ways.
The next step is to learn some powerful ranger skills!
The skills that the Ranger has are all basic abilities. The real powerful skills need to be learned and mastered. You can seek help from a mentor, or you can master them on your own, or you can find more rare skill books. The skill of cutting the throat is also an ability that must be learned through skill books after advancing to the Phantom !
That's why he saved the skill points temporarily. These skill points are still very valuable. If he finds a skill book in the future, he can quickly improve the level of related skills and quickly improve his strength.
…
And in Anna's eyes, Marvin's transformation was amazing.
It is really incredible that he has transformed from the simple and kind-hearted Master Marvin into the cold-blooded ranger who can remain calm in the face of a large number of zombies.
At one point, she even suspected that Marvin in front of her had been replaced.
But she knew Marvin very well, and knew that the boy in front of her who suddenly became quite manly was the boy she had taken care of for many years.
But overnight, he grew up.
“I wonder what he dreamed about…” Anna felt a little dazed as she watched Marvin pack up his spoils.
"Please wear this ring."
Marvin handed the black diamond ring to Anna.
"Give it to me?" Anna was stunned.
Marvin smiled slightly: "Of course, you deserve it. Without your help, I can't kill Heisen and so many zombies."
"Besides, I don't have any magic spells, so the black diamond ring won't be of any use for now. I remember you mastered a few elven spells, right?"
Anna nodded.
"Put it on." Marvin naturally grabbed Anna's right hand and put the black diamond ring on her index finger.
Anna's face flushed. Although she knew that Master Marven's action did not have any deep meaning, her heart could not help but pounding.
"This ring can designate a spell for instant casting, which is very useful sometimes."
Marvin did not notice these details, but looked around and whispered:
"Let's get out of here."
…
East of the city, Black Eagle Inn.
After paying a hefty sum for accommodation, the middle-aged fat boss warmly welcomed the two guests who dared to wander around the city after curfew.
The best guest room.
Marvin began to take stock of his harvest.
The wealth of the body snatchers was astonishing. After deducting the hotel expenses, they still had 378 silver coins on hand!
Since they entered the city, they have never had enough money.
Not to mention the three pieces of glimmer equipment, each of which is worth more than 1,000 silver coins. But Marvin will not sell these.
"Master Marvin, what are we going to do next?"
Perhaps because she saw unprecedented hope in Marvin, the half-elf girl seemed particularly energetic.
Marvin calmly set up a crude alarm system near the doors and windows, then suddenly fell on the bed.
"Have a good sleep first."
"Let's do some preparations during the day tomorrow."
"I'll make the Akron gang pay."
