Rogue Encampment dungeon world, Tamoe Highland Map.
Bucky and Banner, who Transformation into the Hulk, had just finished clearing out a group of monsters and were now resting on the steps in front of the monastery.
That's right, the two of them had already made their way from Rogue Encampment to the Tamoe Highland Map, with the monastery right behind them. And in the monastery's dungeon was Andariel, the final boss of Act I.
The reason they advanced so quickly was because their own strength was formidable enough.
Banner, in particular, who can Transformation into Hulk, is more than capable of crushing any monster in the first act of the dungeon.
The two practically Instant Kill their way through, leaving no monster, big or small, unscathed.
Unlike Tony and his group, they followed the main road on the Map and easily found the entrance to the Dark Cave in the Stony Field. After spending three days exploring the Dark Cave, they entered the Dark Wood Map.
Both of them are now level 15.
Currently, they are the two players with the highest levels among all players, easily surpassing the first batch of players and overtaking the Later.
Bringing your own strength into the game is a bug in itself.
Ling Yi Ling Yi was aware of this, but he did not impose any restrictions on it.
The world is inherently unfair.
The key point is that players who enter the dungeon with their strength can provide Ling Yi with a large amount of experience and in-game equipment much faster.
So why did Ling Yi impose restrictions?
Although both of them were level 15 at this moment, neither of them had chosen a class. They were both hesitating about which class would be suitable.
"What career are you planning to switch to?" Bucky asked, looking at Banner in his Transformation Banner.
" Mage or an assassin," Banner said, rubbing his large, fan-like hands together.
"What? Why not choose a Barbarian or a Knight? I think those two would suit you better."
"No, believe me, that's definitely not the best option. I'm in a lot of trouble in the real world, and I'm being Capture by the military. First and foremost, I need the ability to hide myself or escape."
"The assassin's skill tree includes skills like Invisibility, Clone, and speed boosts, which is very important to me. I never crave Combat."
"Druid skills can alter their physical appearance," Bucky suggested.
"No, I don't want to become Beast." Banner shook his head.
"Okay, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll look like after you Transformation the big guy and then Transformation a werewolf," Bucky laughed.
Banner glanced at Bucky speechlessly. For some reason, an image of a giant green-haired werewolf Leap across the city popped into his mind, and he felt a strange sense of anticipation.
I shook my head, trying to banish the strange image from my mind.
Invisibility allows one to easily evade military pursuit, Clone can serve as deception. Crucially, the Clone are no weaker than the original, which is quite nice.
However, he was also very much looking forward Teleport the Mage's Teleportation skill.
Without the limitation of distance, who could catch him?
"Choose Mage. Teleport is relatively safer. In the real world, there are many technological means to Invisibility Break, but Teleport is different. The military can't catch someone who can Teleportation," Bucky said.
Banner thought about it and agreed with Bucky's reasoning, ultimately choosing the Mage class.
With the successful job change and skill point allocation, a large amount of skill information flooded into Banner's mind.
A level 15 Banner has 15 skill points.
The Teleport skill can only be activated at level 18, so Banner leveled up all five skills: Charged Bolt at level 1, Static Field and Telekinesis at level 6, and Nova and Lightning at level 12.
The remaining 10 skill points were left unused; skill points can be added anytime, and they can be added when needed.
Only by truly understanding Mage's skills can one clearly recognize Mage power.
The Charged Bolt is essentially a ball of lightning that can cause temporary paralysis and some damage to enemies.
Static Field creates a Lightning field within an area, which can paralyze enemies and reduce their defense and Perception. It is a controlled force field, and its effects are far more powerful than in the game.
Telekinesis, a skill that is almost useless in games, is an incredibly powerful ability in reality.
In other words, Telekinesis is like a dark Mage's version of Telekinesis.
It can not only greatly enhance Mage's Perception, but also allow them to Object Control Across Space, and even control themselves to fly.
Strictly speaking, this skill is not much weaker than Mage's Teleport skill.
After all, this is a flying skill.
Nova creates a ring of Lightning energy that instantly Knockback all surrounding enemies and deals Lightning damage.
This skill is very similar to the one in the game, so there's no need to elaborate.
Lightning skill: Creates a bolt of Lightning to attack the target.
In general, Lightning in other games falls from the sky, but in Diablo, this Lightning skill is released horizontally.
A bolt of Lightning can be unleashed with one hand or a staff, striking a target across a line.
While it's described as Lightning, its skill effects are more like a dark, Lightning version of the Kamehameha.
Needless to say, its attack power is unparalleled; even a basic Mage can instantly kill most of the ordinary monsters in the first act.
As for the Teleport skill, it can only be learned at level 18.
Banner was very satisfied with the Mage's skills and turned to look at Bucky.
Bucky shrugged; he and Banner had made the same choice.
Even the way they allocate skill points and attribute points is exactly the same.
"Similarly, I also have many problems to solve outside. I need to atone for the seventy years I've lost and... seek revenge."
In comparison, the Mage class is more suited to revenge.
"We have three more days. Let's try to reach level 18!" Banner nodded and said.
For the next three days, the two went even crazier, grinding monsters almost 24 hours a day.
We fought our way from the monastery to the second level of the dungeon, then from the second level to the inner dungeon corridor. The next level down is the lair of Andariel, the final boss of Act I...
At the very last moment before returning, the two finally reached level 18.
The Mage's level 18 lightning skills, Chain Lightning and... the long-awaited Teleport skill, have been activated.
The Mage's level 18 lightning skill, Teleport, uses powerful Lightning Element energy to Air Breaking and connect to the other side of space.
Teleport skills allow players to completely break free from spatial constraints, Ignore distance, and reach wherever they desire.
Of course, the distance is still limited by the amount of Magic Power.
Both players are level 18, have 90 Free Attribute Points, and have chosen to allocate all points to Intelligence.
In addition to their original initial attributes, the two can use the Teleport skill to travel freely within a 15-kilometer radius.
At this moment, the two had returned to the Rogue Encampment and were trading potions with Akara.
Both of them needed to prepare for the Combat after returning to reality; besides six health potions, their backpacks were full of Magic Power potions.
Around the same time, Mindy and Norman Osborn's group also returned to Rogue Encampment.
Although they were not as powerful as Banner and Bucky's group, they were still at level 12.
Mindy switched to Assassin, and Norman switched to Druid.
Mindy and assassins are a match made in heaven, there's no question about it, the assassin profession is just too perfect for her.
Norman chose the druids because they control the forces of nature, the Life Origin, and have a clearer understanding of all living things.
For Norman, who has a family history of genetic disease, he can use the Druid's innate skills to completely reverse the genetic defects in his family.
For example, Summon the Spirit of Life among the spirits can restore health, directly remove all negative statuses from the target's body, and eliminate lesions; it's practically an all-powerful Doctor.
Among the many game classes, the Druid has probably undergone the most Changes.
Playing a Druid in the game is troublesome, and the Combat isn't as smooth as other classes.
In reality, however, Druids are an all-around class that combines Combat, support, and Summon abilities.
Although the group met, they didn't exchange many words.
After three hours in the real world, the second group of players all logged out of the game instance and returned to the real world.
In Asgard, the Divine Domain, Loki, who had disappeared for three hours, reappeared at the edge of the training ground.
In the training ground, Thor was Combat the female warrior Sif. Seeing Thor's utterly merciless attitude, Loki couldn't help but scoff.
As for Loki's disappearance for three hours, the people around him didn't seem to care much.
Loki was a Magic Mage, and although he was known as the God of Huoyan and even granted the divine status of fire by Odin, everyone knew that Loki's Huoyan Divine Power was practically useless in Combat; it was all just a title.
For a Magic Mage, occasionally becoming invisible or teleporting is routine, and no one would realize that the vanished Loki had actually left Asgard.
As for Loki's chosen profession, it's assassin... yes, assassin again.
Despite being a Mage, Loki insisted on choosing the assassin role, clearly demonstrating his deep Obsession with melee Mage.
Of course, Loki's choice to become an assassin was not without reason.
What Loki valued was the assassin's ability to Clone.
Although Loki's magic includes the ability to Clone, Loki's Clone are merely Illusion Technique; or rather, most of Loki's magic is primarily based on Illusion Technique.
Therefore, his Clone is fake and has absolutely no Combat.
However, an assassin's Clone is different. It is a God Grade skill that has the same strength as the original body, and may even become more powerful as the skill level increases.
Imagine this: just when everyone thinks Loki's Clone are fake, a Combat Clone suddenly appears and backstabs the target... That would be incredibly satisfying.
In addition, there are the assassin's trap skills and Fighting skills.
Loki said he wanted them all.
Loki even considered that if he could master the art of creating Clone, he could Infinite Copy number of Clone, just like his Illusion Technique Clone...
In the training ground, the Combat between Thor and Sif had ended, and the result was obvious: Thor emerged victorious, while Sif was hammered to the ground by Thor.
"Roar!" Combat victory filled Thor with immense excitement, which also spurred the Asgard warriors around him to Roar wildly in unison.
" Thor, Thor, Thor..." the people cheered, expressing their respect and affection for Thor.
Seeing this, Loki was naturally not in a good mood.
From childhood to adulthood, Thor has almost always lived in the aura of everyone's faith, while he has always been the one hiding in Thor's shadow, unnoticed by people.
As princes themselves, the vast difference in their social standing made Loki incredibly envious.
However, Loki was not jealous of Thor. In his opinion, Thor's personality was too stupid, and he could easily Tuantuan Thor with a simple trick.
In Loki's view, Thor was only suited to be a warrior and was completely unsuitable to inherit the throne of Asgard. A king needs Wisdom, and only the intelligent Thor was the ideal heir to the throne.
He always thought so, and even Odin thought so.
But what can you do when Loki isn't the emperor's son?
