Chapter 11

【Asura】, 【Valkyrie】, 【Calamity Apostle】.

Among these three special classes.

Tang Zheng's initial goal was placed on 【Calamity Apostle】.

Mare was of the dark elf race, belonging to a subspecies of humans, so he had no racial class and was entirely constructed from 100 levels of classes.

This also meant that this special class didn't have prerequisite conditions for race!

Tang Zheng knew quite a bit of information about Mare's classes, and coupled with the fault tolerance provided by the "Genius" class, perhaps wasting one or two intermediate classes could forcibly deduce the special class 【Calamity Apostle】.

The other two.

【Asura】 was the special class mastered by Cocytus.

Tang Zheng specifically studied these few special classes; according to the only information on Cocytus's attribute table, 【Asura】 didn't seem to have an obvious connection with the other party's class construction.

He suspected that this special class should be obtained through some special item or object.

And 【Valkyrie】.

In the anime and light novel, there were currently two people who possessed this class: one was Shalltear, and the other was Zesshi Zetsumei.

Both of these people were women.

Tang Zheng had to suspect that this was a special class that could only be obtained by women.

Knowing this information.

Tang Zheng could only place his goal on 【Calamity Apostle】, but now, the appearance of "Priestess" made it very likely that he had obtained a "female character buff."

Therefore!

He might be able to take the special class 【Valkyrie】.

"Shalltear's 【Valkyrie】 has a much clearer class construction than Mare's 【Calamity Apostle】."

Tang Zheng took a deep breath, recalled the information about Shalltear in his mind, and reached out his finger to outline it on the ground.

As the character who appeared the most besides Ainz in the anime and light novel, the information exposed naturally was also the most.

Shalltear's level construction was:

Racial Level 20lv + Class Level 80lv = Overall Level 100lv.

The classes revealed on her attribute table were:

Valkyrie/Lance 5lv, Cursed Knight 5lv, Priest 10lv—these three.

And in the light novel, besides these three classes, there were two more revealed: Blood Drinker and Cursed Caster.

Tang Zheng was very certain that these two were high-tier classes.

The reason he was so certain.

Was because "Blood Drinker" possessed a dedicated skill named "Blood Pool," which was embodied in the battle between Shalltear and Ainz.

And Cursed Caster, the novel mentioned that this class had negative effects, making Shalltear fall into a state of frenzy when touching blood.

In the anime, when Shalltear first met the Nail Clipper and attacked those humans, she suddenly went into a frenzy because of this class.

It was just that the anime didn't specifically prompt it.

In the game "Overlord," classes with negative effects were all relatively powerful high-tier classes, using negative effects to perform certain restrictions.

Therefore!

Valkyrie/Lance 5lv

Cursed Knight 5lv

Priest 10lv

Blood Drinker 5lv

Cursed Caster 5lv

This was all the classes Tang Zheng knew Shalltear possessed, with a total level of 25, and there was still a vacancy of 55 levels.

It looked like there was still relatively little information, and it seemed he still couldn't clearly deduce it!

But!

"I'm a science student, after all." Tang Zheng curled his lips, his whole person falling into an excited state, as if he had returned to the state of mind when playing puzzle games in his previous life.

He quickly reached out and drew a circle around the two classes he wrote on the ground!

First, put the special class 【Valkyrie】 aside; "Priest" was a basic class and didn't need too much attention.

Next.

Tang Zheng didn't know much about "Blood Drinker," so he could throw it aside first. Then the remaining two high-tier classes should both have independent prerequisite class constructions!

Following the logic of solving math problems, by counting the "unknowns," one could forcibly derive the "knowns"!

Basic Warrior Class (Unknown) 15lv → Intermediate Warrior Class (Unknown) 10lv → Cursed Knight 5lv = 30lv

Basic Caster Class (Unknown) 15lv → Intermediate Caster Class (Unknown) 10lv → Cursed Caster 5lv = 30lv

Then 60lv + Valkyrie/Lance 5lv + Blood Drinker 5lv + Priest 10lv = 80lv.

Exactly 80 class levels!

Shalltear's information suddenly became completely clear!

The high-tier class "Blood Drinker" belonged to the high-tier racial class unique to the vampire race!

And among these classes, the only one that was somewhat conspicuous was the basic class "Priest."

The other person who possessed 【Valkyrie】 was Zesshi Zetsumei of the Slane Theocracy!

Among the characters with relatively strong strength currently known, Zesshi Zetsumei was the only one whose class construction was completely clear:

Warrior: 10lv

Berserker: 10lv

Master Warrior: 10lv

Low-tier Valkyrie/All-Rounder: 5lv

Weapon Master: 7lv

Thief: 1lv

Assassin: 5lv

Executioner: 10lv

Priest: 10lv

High Priest: 10lv

Heretic Inquisitor: 10lv

The number of classes was eleven, and the overall level reached 88.

Just looking at the level, Zesshi Zetsumei reached the level of the first tier in the other world, but looking at the class construction, it was simply abnormally chaotic.

The class construction formed by the three major series of warrior classes, thief classes, and faith-based magic casters made Zesshi Zetsumei's overall strength actually far lower than a player of this level.

And the special class 【Low-tier Valkyrie】 possessed by Zesshi Zetsumei could be understood as a degraded version of the true Valkyrie.

The reason for this situation was that Zesshi Zetsumei didn't satisfy the true prerequisite conditions for 【Valkyrie】 at all, thereby producing an incomplete phenomenon unique to the other world.

For example.

Like the 【Ninja】 class, which required reaching level 60 or above to learn, people in the other world only needed to learn the skills first to obtain this class.

=9+Book_Bar

But special classes were different; this type of class possessed quite harsh prerequisite conditions!

Tang Zheng guessed that Zesshi Zetsumei should have indirectly obtained this class with the help of her Talent, just because she didn't satisfy the harsh prerequisite conditions possessed by special classes, Zesshi Zetsumei could only obtain a degraded version.

And the class that both Shalltear and Zesshi Zetsumei possessed was 【Priest】.

It was normal for Zesshi Zetsumei, as the trump card of the Theocracy, to possess the Priest class, but Shalltear was an undead!

Clearly an undead vampire, yet she had a sacred-type "Priest" class that was completely incompatible, and she hadn't maxed it out.

The only possibility for doing so—

Was to achieve a certain condition!

Tang Zheng's gaze flashed with brilliance, a touch of excitement appeared on his cheeks, and he pressed his palm heavily on the ground, "Caught you, 【Valkyrie】!"

The game "Yggdrasil" was actually based on Norse mythology as its background.

The so-called "Valkyrie," in the early mythology, didn't have this concept, but was called "Valkyrja," meaning eater of corpses, and was a synonym for evil.

And later it gradually evolved into "women who choose the war-dead," becoming sacred, and the legendary Valhalla had a certain relationship with Valkyries.

Let's not talk about these backgrounds for now!

The condition for taking 【Valkyrie】 was very likely: female, basic class "Priest," high-tier class "Cursed Knight"!

The reason it was Cursed Knight, rather than Cursed Caster, was because 【Valkyrie】 was a warrior-type specialized class, not a caster-specialized class.

"Hoo~"

Tang Zheng patted the dust off his hands, let out a heavy breath, raised his foot, and wiped away all the Chinese characters he had outlined on the ground.

No one in this world would recognize Chinese characters, but being careful was never wrong!

"High-tier class 'Cursed Knight,' according to the settings in the game, wanting to obtain this class not only requires reaching level 60 or above but also satisfying the prerequisite class construction,"

"However, according to the class-taking situation in the other world, one can directly obtain high-tier classes by learning skills first."

Tang Zheng supported his knees with both hands, then stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and muttered to himself with a smile:

"If my memory is correct, there is a person in the 'Baharuth Empire' who possesses the high-tier class Cursed Knight."

Understanding the condition for taking a "special class," although there was still no ten-percent certainty, at least there was a chance to try.

Tang Zheng's heart settled slightly.

"That person in the 'Baharuth Empire' won't disappear."

"So the next thing to do is to increase my level, and then head to the 'Baharuth Empire' to obtain the high-tier class Cursed Knight."

After Tang Zheng had a clear goal, he didn't hesitate anymore and headed toward the Adventurer's Guild.
