Chapter 308

【Holy Knight】?

It was actually touched out—

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then an unexpected surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He had originally held the idea of just trying; the classes of the several commanders of the "Paladin Order" were not difficult to guess.

What interested Tang Zheng was nothing more than the Mid Rank class 【Holy Knight】 and the 【Evil Exterminator】, for which he was unsure if it was Low Rank or Mid Rank.

Except for the latter class, which only Remedios possessed, the class 【Holy Knight】 was not rare; the Vice Commander Gustabo before him possessed it as well.

After a brief exchange.

Tang Zheng left with the excuse that he had just finished refining potions and needed to recover magic power, arrived at the location of the evil spirit dog, and leaned against Xiao Hei, appearing to be resting.

In reality.

His attention was already on the attribute panel.

"Take class!"

Tang Zheng muttered inwardly; he had long wanted to acquire this class, but he had never had the opportunity before.

If it were a Gao Jie class, Tang Zheng would not take it under the eyes of the crowd, but for an ordinary Mid Rank class, the slight increase in attributes would not be revealed due to the suppression of the 【Ninja】 class.

"Hum—"

"Take class 【Holy Knight】, requires prerequisite basic class 【Paladin】."

"Prerequisite class already possessed, class acquisition successful!"

Tang Zheng's gaze brightened slightly, with a faint holy light flashing in his eyes.

Looking at the information displayed for 【Holy Knight】.

"Two passives, one more than the 【Sword Saint】 and 【Shaman Mentor】 I acquired before."

Tang Zheng's expression was calm, yet he was still somewhat surprised. After viewing all the information, he revealed a barely perceptible smile:

"As expected of a Paladin-type class, the passive abilities and the direction of attribute increases are completely developing toward a tank role."

Besides the passive "Faith Power," which was eye-catching, the other abilities in the class were of a standard type.

"Leveling up by 1, the depth of the experience slot also increased, changing from the original 410,000 to 460,000."

"With 2 million experience points, I must first raise the class and then downgrade it to wash away the 【Sword Saint】 class."

Tang Zheng thought to himself, feeling a bit of heartache.

Back then, after raising 【Sword Saint】 to level 10, it triggered the Gao Jie class 【Magic Swordsman】.

Now that he possessed the basic class 【Paladin】, combined with the Mid Rank class 【Holy Knight】, he should be able to trigger a Gao Jie class.

This normal way of triggering class advancement.

He had not dared to use it before, as there was no way to downgrade.

"The traditional class advancement method is still easier to explore." A thought moved in Tang Zheng's mind, and he began to raise his level.

【Holy Knight lv2】

【Experience slot: 1702396/510000】

↓

【Holy Knight lv3】

【Experience slot: 1192396/560000】

↓

Comprehensive level 51

【Holy Knight lv4】

【Experience slot: 562396/630000】

Skill points: 72

"Oh?"

Tang Zheng noticed that the depth of the experience slot changed after reaching level 50, increasing by 70,000 per level instead of the original 50,000.

He continuously activated the 【Ninja】 passive "Conceal Breath Mastery" to quickly suppress the aura fluctuations after the rapid level increase.

He raised his head.

The sky had completely darkened. The group did not light any fires, letting the moonlight shine on the Paladin armor, casting a cold white glow.

Seeing that no one noticed the movement on his side, Tang Zheng felt determined: "I didn't expect to be so lucky this time."

Acquiring classes by touching weapons is one of the methods Tang Zheng has mastered for obtaining classes!

It's just that Tang Zheng rarely uses this method.

First, the classes obtained by touching weapons are uncertain; they are mostly basic classes with high probability.

Second, this method is too troublesome, far less convenient and hidden than the method of obtaining skills through skill points and then indirectly obtaining classes.

The only benefit is that it can save skill points.

Unfortunately.

【Genius】 directly converts all basic classes. Before mastering the technique of downgrading, Tang Zheng would not take Mid Rank classes casually, so he rarely used this method.

In fact, this is not the biggest problem.

The biggest difference between "taking a class by touching a weapon" and "taking a class with skill points" lies in the Gao Jie classes!

Taking 【Cursed Knight】 as an example.

"Taking a class by touching a weapon" requires possessing the prerequisite class to take it. There is no problem with Mid Rank classes because 【Genius】 exists.

But Gao Jie classes won't work, as they lack the prerequisite Mid Rank class.

"Taking a class with skill points" does not have this problem.

Due to the special situation of the Other World, it does not need to be like a game. One can learn skills first and then obtain the class through the skills, without the requirement of a prerequisite class.

Therefore, they had to act as quickly as possible to contain and eliminate them.

The area where everyone was stationed was pitch black. Most demi-humans can see normally in the dark night, but humans are far from having such ability.

Everyone present was not an ordinary person; borrowing the moonlight, they could still see things nearby clearly.

"Black" Pabel, as the only archer who could maintain vision at night, was specifically responsible for night watch.

Tang Zheng's team, Go Jin, and "Red" Orland gathered together sitting on the ground, each holding a water bag in their hands, eating somewhat hard bread.

"It's really strange that we haven't encountered a single undead so far."

"Red" Orland placed his horn helmet on his knees, squeezed the water bag, took a big gulp of water, and asked in confusion.

"This actually indicates a bad thing." Tang Zheng said softly.

"What do you mean?"

"Red" Orland, with a face like a rock weathered by wind and rain for years, showed a confused look.

Go Jin's expression was serious.

"This means that the massive batch of undead is gathering together." Tang Zheng swallowed the bread in his mouth and said unhurriedly.

"Yo~"

Just at this moment, light footsteps came from behind.

Clementine, wrapped in a black robe, walked over with a joyful smile on her face: "Hi, little brother, Ogre, Beardy, female demi-human, and... eh, forget it."

Clementine smiled and squinted, her gaze sweeping over everyone, greeting them as if giving nicknames. When her gaze finally stopped on Enri, she skipped over it directly.

"Hey, hey!"

"Red" Orland looked up in dissatisfaction, his thick beard and thick eyebrows seeming to become more prominent, his face revealing a wild aura:

"I don't like being given nicknames casually."

"Is that so, Beardy."

Clementine grinned, sat down in the spot next to Tang Zheng as if no one else was there, sniffed her nose, ignored "Red" Orland, and turned her head:

"Little brother, the scent on you seems to have become heavier."

"Is that so."

Tang Zheng continued to take a bite of the bread and responded calmly: "Perhaps it's because I haven't taken a bath."

"Ahahaha!"

"Red" Orland couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this reply.

Clementine looked at "Red" Orland unhappily: "Want to have a fight?"

"Sure."

A rough voice responded without showing any weakness.

Hiss—!

High above, a harsh wailing sound suddenly came.

Then, the barrier magic set up on the perimeter was triggered, emitting a red light that was unusually eye-catching in the night.

Almost at the same time!

"Enemy attack!!" The loud roar of "Black" Pabel came.

Boom!

The air was pierced.

A burst of arrows emitting white light flew into the high sky, seemingly colliding with some creature, and a muffled sound came.

Everyone reacted immediately!

"Holy Light!"

"……!"

"Holy Light!"

Several magic casters of the priest group released magic together.

A soft, non-blinding holy white light suddenly lit up in the night, illuminating the entire area instantly.

Even the monsters in the sky could be seen clearly.

They were low-rank undead skeleton vultures, composed entirely of bones, with fine, pale hair at the neck and the ability to fly.

The number alone was over a hundred!

This group of skeleton vultures had been flying at high altitude, so they were only discovered when they reached the heads of the crowd.

The distance and power of "Holy Light" were limited, so it could not affect the skeleton vultures hovering in the sky.

Poof—poof—

Perhaps due to the influence of "Holy Light," the previously calm ground showed large-scale wriggling, and white bone claws or rotting bodies crawled out from underground.

Looking around, undead were constantly appearing from all directions.

"Paladin Order, be on guard!" Remedios held her holy sword and roared.

"Priest group! Prepare to intercept!"

Kelart followed closely and gave the order.

"Do it, eliminate these dirty guys!" Captain Captain Nigen was even more blunt.

In an instant!

Rays of white holy light surged like a tide, and 280 Second Rank guardian angels were summoned.

The white, holy light lit up the night, which had become dim again after the "Holy Light" dissipated, and each guardian angel was like a pillar of light.

Looking at it, there was an inexplicable sense of shock!

The 【Sunlight Scripture】, like the priest group, did not summon Third Rank angels, but first summoned guardian angels with lower magic consumption.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

280 guardian angels scattered and flew out densely, attacking the undead crawling out from the ground, while some flew straight toward the sky to fight the skeleton vultures.

Tang Zheng stood up and watched the undead fighting the angels all around: "They are all ordinary undead; the intensity is not high."

"Everyone, watch your feet; there might be undead appearing from underground."

Tang Zheng reminded.

The others also stood up and looked around guardedly.

Clementine was even looking around excitedly, seemingly searching for enemies that interested her.

However!

The difficult battle imagined did not appear. The number of undead was not too many, and including the skeleton vultures flying in the sky, there were only a mere five or six hundred.

Under the attack of the guardian angels with higher intensity and restraining effects, these low-rank undead were all wiped out in less than 10 minutes.

A part of this time was wasted on the undead being too scattered!

"What a buzzkill."

Clementine said boredly, with her arms behind her head.

"These undead are so weak."

"Feels like one sword can kill them!"

"That's right, it doesn't look like there's any difficulty."

"Ha, if it's just a large number, even if there were tens of thousands of undead of this level, it would be enough to deal with."

"…………"

Whispers of discussion sounded from time to time from various places.

The unexpectedly easy situation made everyone, whose nerves were tense, feel an inexplicable sense of disbelief, as if they had not expected this potentially fatal mission to be so easy.

However, some people had very solemn expressions!

Kelart's eyes flickered, her nostrils slightly wrinkled, and dangerous light reflected in her light blue pupils: "That group of skeleton vultures—is being controlled by someone!"

On the other side,

Tang Zheng noticed the undead being quickly cleared away, his gaze swept over the guardian angels hovering in mid-air patrolling, and a flash of realization crossed his face.

"So that's it, is that what they plan to do!"

"It's dangerous!"

Tang Zheng's gaze froze, realizing something, and he looked up just in time to meet Kelart's eyes.

The relaxed atmosphere did not last long!

About an hour later, the previously calm ground vibrated again, and the hissing sound of skeleton vultures flying also sounded in the sky above.

This time the number of undead was greater, and as soon as they appeared, they were like black shadows, attacking in the direction of the crowd.

And in this hour, the guardian angels summoned by the priest magic casters had already dissipated.

The normal existence time of summoned creatures cannot exceed one hour.

"Hmph!"

Captain Captain Nigen snorted coldly, his eyes full of disgust and killing intent toward the undead: "Offer your faith to the gods!"

The members of the 【Sunlight Scripture】 all made simple prayer gestures, and holy magic fluctuations appeared on them again.

"Stop!"

"Wait!"

The voices of Kelart and Tang Zheng sounded at the same time.

Everyone's movements paused, and they looked at the two in confusion.

"Lord Captain Nigen, we must not waste magic power now. The opponent is using the method of attacking in batches with undead to consume our magic power."

Kelart said seriously, looking at Tang Zheng: "Team Leader Tang should have the same idea."

"That's right."

"Now it's not just about saving magic power; we must also leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise we will only be harassed by waves of undead."

Tang Zheng's expression was equally serious: "We need to rendezvous with the demi-humans as soon as possible!"
