Chapter 536: Explosion Is Art!
Although Jiu Er was weirded out by what Nefertari had said, this profession did meet her requirements.
There were no complex mechanisms. On a simple and plain basis, the taboos of the curses were also simple to understand.
It was unlike the Holy Grail knight, who might trigger the “Bewitched” debuff from time to time. At the same time, it was unlike Sword Saint, who required a combo to be combat effective.
Seeing the progress of Delicious Wind Goose’s advancement, Jiu Er only had four words in her evaluation.
—The hero tends to die young.
Delicious Wind Goose was short of breath and possibly on the last one. His sword qi reserve was ridiculously little.
After activating two skills, he would be out of sword qi.
Even the Ultraman would outlast him!
[TN: Ultraman is said to last three minutes in battle.]
Is this really a swordsman profession but not an assassin profession?
Or is it a trend now that the Assassin next door has switched to becoming a Berserker, and the Swordsman will take over a Rogue’s assassination job in a one-shot kill attempt?
“As for the advancement of [Ambusher], my recommendation is [Saboteur].” Nefertari said, opening another book.
This was a spell book with a name. The title of the book was “My Body is a Forge”. Under the book cover of golden red scales was a thick parchment. There were only a few pages in the whole book.
Just by opening it, Nefertari caused the temperature in the air to rise rapidly. Within a few seconds, a layer of white steam was condensed on the inside of the transparent water cup in the room.
“Be careful not to touch the pages.” Nefertari warned, “Just read it from a distance, close the book when you’re done, and don’t turn the pages.”
The pages were indeed quite magical.
To put it in relative terms, it was like a searing iron plate. Touching it with bare hands would inevitably result in a burn.
Since the book was opened, the surrounding temperature had been rising continuously. As Suuankou inched closer, he felt a scalding sensation even at the vertical distance of 10 centimeters, resulting in a moist face. At the same time, he even struggled to open his eyes.
Both Ghirlandaio and Nieusel came over curiously.
“Is this a spell tome of the Destruction School?” Nieusel asked curiously, “Are you asking him to change his job to become a Destruction Wizard?”
Ghirlandaio would love to ask this question too.
However, considering his charisma would decline if the side of being a curious baby were shown, he restrained his curiosity. Luckily, Nieusel was exceptionally caring, and he asked all the things Annan wanted to know.
“Yes, this is the spell tome of the Destruction School.” Nefertari nodded and explained, “Saboteur is a newly emerging profession. As far as I know, the total number of Saboteurs in this world may be less than ten.
“It can only be advanced through the [Ambusher] or [Destruction Wizard] job. But in fact, the real purpose is to change the job of a Destruction Wizard.”
The flaming-eyed girl said seriously.
Ghirlandaio realized something, “It’s because the Destruction Wizard is too unstable.”
“Unstable” was just a euphemism.
Annan still remembered that the Destruction Wizard he met in “Nightmare: White Tower” was more than “unstable”.
The taciturn red-haired youth wrapped his eyes with bandages, sewed up his mouth with thread, wore the straitjacket used to control people with a mental health condition, and even wore shoes without soles. White bandages had temporarily replaced his stockings.
The blood he shed would burn violently, more reactive than gasoline touching a lit match. He could ignite or detonate a person just by looking. The words he spoke would destroy buildings and disintegrate the human body. Even after he was killed, the body would cause a massive explosion that shook the earth.
As the name suggested, the “Destruction” School was a school that only studied “Destruction Spells”. It was an official and legitimate school of wizardry. What they believed in was that if the spell could not solve the problem, it meant that the power was inadequate.
As long as the destructive force sufficed, it would achieve all goals through its deterrence. Just like the deities high above, They were just older and stronger transcenders.
They were the wizard faction that was obsessed with a “sense of presence” and were most persistent in “power” and “politics”.
That was because of their blind trust in “Destruction Spells”. As well as the incomparable “power level” of the Destruction Spells, it created an obvious status hierarchy in the wizard tower.
Unlike other schools of spells, the sole purpose of the Destruction Spells was destruction. It was not a wizard school like Energy Falteration or Soul Snatch but a fusion of multiple professions.
Instead, in the wizard civil war, all the spell-casting professions in the world gathered all the high-performance, cost-effective spells for attacking and destroying.
It was unlike the Alteration Wizard, which could carry out large-scale chain alteration magics wantonly on the battlefield and finally release a large-scale bombardment far beyond its strength.
Destruction Wizards like to fix some dangerous spells on themselves. In other words, turning spells into permanent abilities. For orthodox Destruction Wizards, “You look dangerous” could even be regarded as a compliment.
Probably like saying, “you look fanatic” or “you look like a madman” to a Berserker.
“However, in the peaceful time, this kind of wizard apprentice with a violent personality and strong desire to control is not common.”
Nefertari paused, then continued, “I heard these from a Senior Wise at the Wise’s meeting last year.
“[Saboteurs] are said to be a new profession invented by the famous Destruction Wizard Family ‘Burning Teeth’. Rather than giving Ambusher a powerful advancement, their main purpose is to create a new way out for Destruction Wizards.”
The higher the Destruction Wizard’s level, the higher the damage inflicted on oneself.
They were the only wizard tower that would study Chaos Spells directly.
When it came to pure power, ordinary spells were inferior to chaos spells. Coupled with the strange enchantments that Destruction Wizards always hang on themselves, it led to the high mortality rate of Destruction Wizards.
“The [Saboteur] profession’s strength lies in the ability to set up or even throw traps in the wild at any time. For example, throwing or sticking an inconspicuous sphere that can be detonated manually or using one’s blood to make a liquid bomb that can be detonated at any time.
“In addition, you can also enchant your projectiles, arrows, throwing knives, or other traps with the scorching effect. Of course, they can also explode. Even if the enemy does not step on the traps, he will not anticipate that the trap can be manually detonated.”
What a great profession!
Explosion is art!
Suuankou’s eyes emitted lights, and he listened carefully.
Nefertari was serious about teaching, “This profession requires the highest level of [Skillful Hands] ability. At the same time, you must also learn the Instant Spells [Metal Detonation] and [Clay Detonation], as well as the Guided Spell [Heat Plasma] and [Flame Weapon]. As long as you master these spells, you can advance to become a Saboteur in the nightmare.
“For ordinary Destruction Wizards, they have to free up four of their limited spell slots to configure these spells. Generally speaking, they have to wait until the Bronze Rank reaches the limit to have enough spell slots. That’s mainly because there are not enough slots for Instant Spells.
“However, you are different.
“You are not a Destruction Wizard in the first place, and the spell slot of Instant Spells cannot be occupied. So you can master these four spells without becoming an official wizard, relying only on the [Wizard Apprentice] profession. In this case, there is no need to upgrade your wizard level to the same level as your current profession.”
In other words, what Nefertari meant was to let Suuankou acquire Level 10 on [Wizard Apprentice (Destruction School)] as his secondary profession and stop after getting the advanced spells.
That was the approach.
“Thank you so much!” Suuankou expressed gratitude to Nefertari respectfully and excitedly.
Nefertari did not get used to it. Instead, she just shook her hand in embarrassment, “No problem.
“This book has everything except [Metal Detonation] and [Clay Detonation]. You may study on your own first. If you can master it, I will find the spell books for those two spells for you. There’s no need to visit the wizard tower to learn those spells.
“Of course, if you don’t understand it, I can’t help you either.” Nefertari spread her hands, “After all, I’m not a wizard.”
Annan, who was on the side, was piqued as he gazed at her.
Nefertari’s knowledge of the profession’s advancement was well-organized and reliable.
There will be more players in the future too.
Should I kidnap Nefertari… no, I mean hire her as a tutor consultant for the profession’s advancement?
