Outside Axel City, Giant Frog Plains.
This should have been a nightmare place for novice adventurers, but now a group of real nightmares ushered in.
"Quack!" A giant toad as big as a cow jumped out of the grass, opened its mouth, and shot out its long tongue with mucus like a whip.
"Well done." Professor Flitwick not only did not dodge, but excitedly jumped onto a nearby tree. Although his body changed into that of a young man, his skills as a duel master were still strong.
He opened the low-quality wooden bow he bought from the guild, and his eyes did not focus on the toad, but pointed at the sky casually.
"Skill: Snipe."
"Whoosh--" The arrow came out of the string and drew a strange parabola. As if being pulled by the hand of fate, the arrow turned inexplicably in the air and accurately pierced the eye socket of the toad that was still in mid-air, straight into the brain.
"Boom!" The huge corpse fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"As expected." Flitwick touched his chin, Blink's eyes glowed with inquiry, "The core of this skill judgment is not 'aiming', but 'luck'."
To test his conjecture, he turned his back to the other toad, closed his eyes and shot an arrow at random.
The arrow was originally shot into the open space. But at this moment, a gust of evil wind blew by, blowing the arrow 180 degrees. And the unlucky toad just jumped up and opened its mouth to prey, and the result - "Pfft!" The arrow was sent directly into the throat, and the throat was sealed with one arrow.
"Law of Causality weapon..." Flitwick sighed, "Is this the power of MAX Luck value? As long as I shoot the arrow, the world will help me hit the target."
The other side of the battlefield.
Lily·Potter wears a set of slightly bulky cross knight armor, but her movements are as light as a butterfly. As the former elite Auror and the current princess Empire, her swordsmanship has already reached its peak.
"Cut!" She dodged the toad's tongue attack sideways, raised her sword, and directly split the giant beast into two halves. Then, she stepped on the toad's body and jumped high, turned around in the air, and sent the sword blade into the head of the other sneak attacker.
There is no skill, it's all technique.
The same is true for Hermione. Although she changed her job to an "adventurer" with no attack skills, with the blessing of two thin swords and Battle Aura, she shuttled through the toads like a silver whirlwind. Each sword accurately cut off the tendons of the toads or penetrated the vital points.
"Buzz--" Suddenly, a golden light enveloped her body. Hermione felt that her strength and speed suddenly increased. She looked back and saw Pheobe standing behind, holding a staff in his hand, yawning with a bored look on his face.
"Is this [Strength Enhancement]?" Hermione smiled, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Pheobe waved her staff boredly. As a high priest, although she has powerful assistance and recovery capabilities, she is extremely lacking in attack methods. Apart from dealing with undead creatures, she is almost a battlefield pendant.
"The experience value increases so slowly." Pheobe glanced at his Adventurer Card, frowning slightly, "There were no kills, not even effective assists, and the experience gained was pitiful."
She didn't want to be a vase. As the chief life scientist of the Empire, her brain began to work rapidly, analyzing her pitiful list of skills.
"Yes." Her eyes were fixed on a basic skill called [Reflection]. Generally speaking, this is a defensive skill used to deflect magic attacks.
"Hermione! Cut me with a sword! Use Battle Aura!" Pheobe shouted.
"Huh?" Although Hermione was confused, out of trust in his companions, he casually waved a sword energy wrapped in green Battle Aura.
"Reflection!" Pheobe pointed the staff. The sword energy that originally struck her was not bounced away, but was "refracted" by her extremely subtle magic control skills at the moment it came into contact with the shield. Not only that, she also used the arc of the Reflection shield to split the sword energy in two!
"Puff! Puff!" The two toads that had just emerged were killed instantly.
"The kill judgment is valid!" Pheobe looked at the skyrocketing experience bar and showed a satisfied smile, "Using loopholes in the physics engine to spawn monsters is called technical flow."
With skill points, she did not hesitate to learn a new skill - manipulation. This was originally a useless skill that could only control small animals, but in the hands of Pheobe, a master of playing with souls and blood, it turned into a terrifying weapon.
She hooked her fingers lightly, and the eyes of a giant toad instantly became dull. Then it turned around suddenly, opened its mouth and swallowed its companion.
"Kill each other, little cuties." Pheobe smiled like a villain queen.
If you don't look at the queen over there, Snape here looks... a little aggrieved.
"Light a fire." Snape typed the Snap expressionlessly. A small flame the size of a lighter dangled at his fingertips.
No matter how much magic power he inputs, the flame seems to be locked by rules and refuses to grow bigger.
"Is this the upper limit of a novice's skills? It's really a hopeless rule restriction." Snape complained crazily in his heart. As an expert in rubbing forbidden spells, Grand Wizard is now reduced to playing with lighters?
But this is not a problem for Potions Master. Since the "power" cannot be improved, then the "physical properties" can be improved.
Facing an incoming toad, Snape did not retreat. He controlled the three small flames, used his essence Divine Power to extremely compress them, and then - "Go."
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The originally light flames instantly turned into three orange-red bullets, shooting out with a harsh sound through the air! Two of them accurately penetrated the toad's eyeballs, and one flew into its mouth.
"Explode." The next second, the flames exploded in the most vulnerable part of the toad's body. Although it was not powerful, it was fatal.
"Since you can't become a fort, then be a sharpshooter." Snape found the trick. He tried the combined skills of [Create Water] and [Freeze] again, instantly freezing a toad into an ice sculpture.
If this world's indigenous mages saw this method of casting spells without chanting, they would definitely kneel down and call the gods.
As several toads fell, the skill points were finally enough. Snape decisively learned the intermediate magic--Fireball.
"Fireball." This time, a fireball the size of a basketball roared out, directly blasting the target into coke.
"This is much easier." Snape gradually regained the feeling of controlling power. As his proficiency increased, he could even cast magic instantly.
At this moment, a brilliant idea suddenly came to mind.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his wife - Lily. At this time, Lily was wearing that handsome knight's armor, waving a long sword, and dashing through the monsters with heroic posture, completely immersed in the joy of battle.
Snape raised an imperceptible evil smile. He moved his fingers slightly and used the newly developed [Dual Casting] technique.
On the only way Lily charged, a pool of water appeared out of thin air, and then instantly froze into ice.
"Ouch!" Lily, who was about to make a handsome killing move, slipped and lost his balance, sliding out like a bowling ball.
To make matters worse, the end of her slide was a giant toad with its mouth wide open.
"Gudu." The toad swallowed the female knight in a gulp.
"..." The whole place was quiet for a second.
"Hiss--!!" The next second, the toad's belly was cut open from the inside out. Lily came out covered in mucus, and the originally bright armor was now covered with disgusting green mucus.
She wiped a handful of mucus from her face and glared at the instigator angrily. "Severus! Do you want to die?!"
However, what greeted her was Snape's usually gloomy face, but now he was smiling like a child. Not only that, he also took out an old-fashioned camera and took crazy continuous photos of the embarrassed Lily.
"This is the picture I have dreamed of..." Snape looked at the embarrassed but still beautiful wife in the viewfinder, feeling that his two-dimensional otaku heart was greatly satisfied, "Female knights, slime, defeat... this is art."
Looking at her husband's pure smile, most of Lily's original anger dissipated. She sighed helplessly, and was immediately amused by this absurd scene. "Okay, since you like..." She actually made a few poses, letting the mucus drip from the armor, matching Snape's bad taste.
"Ahem!" An inappropriate cough from Pheobe came from the side, "I say, can you old couple stop playing this... strange sex game in public? It's very eye-catching, okay?"
Snape instantly put away the camera and restored his dead face, as if the person who smiled like a pervert just now was not him.
"Your Highness, this is Envy." Lily shook off the mucus on his body without hesitation and counterattacked, "When Ian comes, you can also try the feeling of being swallowed by a toad. I believe he will also like it very much."
"Huh? Do you want to fight?" Pheobe raised his eyebrows.
"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"
Seeing these two women who were over a hundred years old together bickering like little girls, Hermione next to her killed the last toad with a look of despair. "Why on earth did I bring this group of people out..." She shook her head, "The professor's personality is so bad that I can't even see it."
At sunset. The nearby giant toads have been wiped out by this "devil team" Carnage.
"Killed all the toads." Hermione wiped the blood on his sword, "We still have three days. The goal is to max out all professional skills."
"Then change the place." Snape still said, "I haven't tried enough of my new combos yet."
"I also think that [Snipe] skill still has room for development." Professor Flitwick echoed.
As a result, this novice team composed of max-level bosses swept through all the wild monster areas around Axel like a swarm of locusts. No matter whether it was Running Lizard, Giant Earthworm or Unicorn Rabbit, no grass grew wherever they went.
With Infinity's physical strength and Battle Aura's blessing, they don't even need to rest until...
An unexpected situation forced them to stop.
