After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 145 Taking office, [Apostle of Joy] and [Storm Fighter]!

The promotion of professionals is a difficult thing, but it cannot be called difficult.

It is said to be difficult because it is very difficult to achieve 100% compatibility. As the most elite knights in the Kingdom of Augustus, the Black Knights have a professional training system. Each member is an elite selected by the whole country. But even so, there are very few people who can be promoted to the second level with 100% compatibility at the first level. Anyone who can do this is enough to become a candidate for the black knight seat, which can be seen from this.

If it is not difficult, that is because professional promotion does not require 100% compatibility or 60% passing line. The second level promoted on this basis is naturally far less powerful than the second level promoted with 100% compatibility, but many times, professionals have no other choice.

If they do not choose to be promoted, they will waste countless years on this hurdle, and may not even be able to cross it until they die.

After the fit reaches 60%, it is very difficult to continue to improve, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.

And now, with the victory over Pope Libra and the wreckage of Li Shen in the [Holy Duel Field], Ryan is in perfect shape to usher in his own career promotion.

Other professionals were promoted with 100% compatibility because they could only achieve this at best, while Ryan was promoted with 100% compatibility because the highest career compatibility was only 100%.

Spirituality is rising. If we say that the "seed" was planted when taking office at the first level, but now, after sufficient "watering" (meeting the conditions and taking the "Pirate Path" second-level promotion potion), this "seed" It has begun to break through the shackles of the seed coat and really sprout.

[[Pirate (Level 100)] compatibility reaches 1.5%, [Spirituality] upper limit +! 】

[Spiritual sublimation...'Promotion Baptism' is in progress...]

[The current [Spirituality] is 10.3 (original 7.8, Holy Seed +1.0)...'Promotion Baptism' completed! 】

[[Spiritual] upper limit +10.3! Current [Spirituality]: 20.6]

An indescribable feeling surged through his body. It was only at this moment that Ryan finally realized why the upper limit of spirituality at the first level was so important, and why the Black Knights wanted to promote the Black Knight to the second level with 100% compatibility. , listed as an alternative for the Black Knight seat.

Whether there is a career promotion that reaches 100% compatibility, the gap is really too big.

Suddenly, Ryan finally understood how much he cherished the things he had used that could increase his spiritual limit.

... [First-level spiritual improvement crystal], [Holy Blood Baptism], [Holy Seed].

The prompts on the panel have not ended, or rather, they have just begun.

[[Pirate (Level 1)] is promoted to [Storm Fighter (Level 2)]! 】

[Professional bonus: spirituality +2.0, physical strength +1.0 (body spirituality +0.4, physical strength +0.2)]

[Acquire professional skills: Brave Strike, Storm Body, Throwing Specialization Enhancement]

1. [Brave Strike]:

One of the exclusive skills of the Storm Fighter profession.

Years of fighting against storms have allowed Storm Warriors to understand the true meaning of "valor", and they can unleash a powerful and unstoppable blow by exploding their whole body's spirituality and strength. It can be thrown or slashed with melee weapons. Damage bonus is: X%.

（X的数值取决于使用者的位阶和灵性，具体换算公式为位阶*10+灵性*1，例如，而二阶、灵性为20的风暴斗士，X的值为2*10+20*1=40）。

2. [Storm Battle Body]:

One of the exclusive skills of the Storm Fighter profession.

Years of fighting against storms have given Storm Fighters a deep understanding of "storms", and this understanding has been imprinted into their bodies, forming a unique physique. Passive effect: Physique +1.0. Active effect: Activate [Storm Combat Body] to increase your own spiritual limit by X%.

(The value of

3. [Throwing Specialization Enhancement]:

One of the common skills of melee professions.

When throwing a weapon, gain a flat 20% bonus to Strength and Accuracy.

-

Looking at the three professional skill effects of the "Pirate Path" second-level profession [Storm Fighter], Ryan pondered for a moment.

"Well...it's much stronger than expected..."

One active, one passive, and one passive/active.

Among them, [Brave Strike] is a conventional offensive method, which can be combined with [Throwing Specialization Enhancement] to burst out powerful throwing damage. Ryan has seen this from the former one-eyed pirate group - "One-Eyed" Santas.

Unfortunately, because "One-Eyed" Santas was too weak, the explosive throwing attack was easily blocked by Ryan at that time.

But it doesn't mean that this attack mode is weak.

Ryan thought about it for a moment.

"Blood Spear" + [Brave Strike] + [Throwing Specialization Enhancement], the three of them are superimposed, which will make the power of this throw reach an extremely terrifying level. If "Knowing" and "Throwing Specialization" are triggered again "Fatal blow", Ryan couldn't even imagine that scene.

This is not the strongest mode. If it is combined with the explosion of [Storm Combat Body], tsk tsk...

After briefly glancing at the professional skills of [Storm Fighter (Level 2)], Ryan withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the prompts on the panel with eyes full of expectation.

The promotion of [Storm Fighter] is just an unexpected blessing. Its professional bonus belongs to the traveling clone, which only affects one-fifth of the main body. The "main course" - [Apostle of Joy] is the highlight.

-

[[Gluttony Hunter (Level 1)] is promoted to [Apostle of Joy (Level 2)]! 】

[Professional bonus: Spirituality +3.0, Physical +3.0]

[Acquire professional skills: Aura of Joy, Tide of Pain, Gospel]

1. [Happy Aura]:

The exclusive skill of the Apostle of Joy.

Pain is also the source of joy. You can choose one of the following three types as the effect of the joyful aura. After each switch, a 10-second cooling time is required.

1: Thorns of Joy Aura: Use your spirituality to condense thorns of joy invisible to the naked eye. Any damage caused to you will suffer S% real rebound damage.

2: Joyful Freezing Aura: The cold air born from joy will cause the enemy who attacks you or you to fall into a "real freezing" state. Concepts related to "speed" such as movement speed, attack speed, and nerve reflex speed will all be affected. Reduce (S/10)% for (S/) seconds. This state has extremely high priority and cannot be removed unless the user's "purification" ability exceeds the third level or above.

Three: The aura of joyful flames: flames and whipping create joy. Any enemy that attacks you or you attack will fall into a "real burning" state, which lasts for (S/10) seconds. During this period, "healing" abilities can only be effective for one-third, and the vitality, physical strength, and spirituality will be affected every second. Lose 1%. This state has extremely high priority and cannot be removed unless the user's "purification" ability exceeds the third level or above.

（S的数值取决于使用者的位阶和灵性，具体换算公式为位阶*10+灵性*1，例如，而二阶、灵性为20的海盗，S的值为2*10+20*1=40）。

2. [Tide of Pain]:

The exclusive skill of the Apostle of Joy.

Joy and pain are by no means natural opposites. The pain after experiencing pleasure is more profound, while the joy after pain becomes more turbulent, like a continuous tide.

Each time you fall into a "serious injury", the career compatibility will increase by 1%, up to a maximum of 25%. After that, you must perform a "joy after pain" to continue to increase the compatibility, repeating every 25% of the compatibility.

Every 1% of professional compatibility can be converted into 1 point of "pain value", currently: 0/100. When entering the combat state, every 1 point of pain value can bring 1% [Physique] and [Spiritual] bonus.

Each time you complete "Pleasure after Pain", you will receive permanent gains based on the type of completion.

After completing four "Pleasure after Pain" in total, you can try to advance in rank.

3. [Gospel]:

The exclusive skill of the Apostle of Joy.

The apostle's responsibility is to sow the seeds of "joy." The enemies you attack and the enemies who attack you will be forcibly marked with the "Gospel" mark, which will be stacked five times in total. After the "Gospel" mark will be detonated (the detonation time can be controlled independently), a "joyful explosion" will be produced, which will make the enemy The vitality and spirituality of the enemy are forcibly reduced by 20% of the upper limit. If the spirituality is insufficient, the vitality will be used to offset it. If the enemy's vitality is less than 20% during the "Happiness Explosion", the "killing" effect will be triggered. This effect has a very high priority. , "immunity" abilities that are not higher than level cannot be immune.

-

Ryan was dazzled by the long list of introductions.

Compared to [Storm Fighter], [Joy Apostle] has much more skill introductions and is much stronger.

[Aura of Joy], [Tide of Pain], and [Gospel], the three professional skills are as strong as each other. They are indeed second-level professions with hidden paths.

Let’s talk about [Happy Aura] first. As the only active skill among the three professional skills, it has three different forms, which are summarized as follows:

Thorns of Joy Aura: True Retaliation.

Joyous Freezing Aura: Slow

Aura of Joyful Flame: True Burn, Suppressed Recovery.

Three different auras correspond to defense, control and attack respectively. You can choose different aura effects according to different occasions, and the priorities of these three auras are quite high. Ryan is currently at the second level, basically only at the fifth level. Only by being legendary can one suppress or be immune to the effects of the three auras.

But facing the fifth-level legend, it doesn't matter whether Ryan activates the aura or not. Therefore, these three auras are incomprehensible to the enemies he faces.

The main theme of [Happy Aura] is: pain is also the source of joy. And thorns, ice and flames can easily make Ryan think of three different ways to obtain "joy"...

Shaking his head, Ryan did not think deeply about this issue, but analyzed the [Gospel] skill.

[Gospel] is a passive skill with a very simple effect. If it hits the enemy or the enemy hits him, the "Gospel" mark will be superimposed on the enemy. After five times, the mark will detonate, causing a fixed damage based on 20% of the enemy's upper limit of health. If If the enemy's health is less than 20%, the "kill" effect will be triggered.

The so-called "killing" is an extremely overbearing ability. It doesn't matter whether you have immortality or whether you can resurrect from the dead. Once triggered, you will definitely die.

Although the five "gospel" marks seem to be a lot, whether the enemy hits him or he hits the enemy, they can be stacked. It seems that the five marks can be stacked up easily.

What's more powerful about this skill is that whether or not to detonate the "Gospel" mark is controlled by Ryan himself. He can detonate it when he estimates that the enemy's vitality is less than 20%. At that time, he can directly trigger the "killing" effect. Significance.

When encountering monsters that are thick-skinned and unable to break through their defenses, you can also use this skill to forcefully grind down the blood.

As for the last professional skill [Tide of Pain], it is Ryan's most valued ability.

Similar to [Gluttony Hunter], [Happiness Apostle] also has its own promotion method, which improves professional compatibility through the balance and release between "pain" and "pleasure".

It's just that unlike "Gluttony", the effect of "Pain Value" is to directly gain bonuses to [Physique] and [Spirituality].

Whether this skill is strong or not mainly depends on whether the "pain value" is stacked high, and the "pain value" needs Ryan to obtain it by entering the "seriously injured" state.

For ordinary people, and even ordinary professionals, it takes a lot of time to recover after being "seriously injured". The higher the rank, the stronger the strength, the more so, and because of [Gluttony Heart] and [Holy Relic·Blood] The existence of "Severe Injury", for Ryan, as long as he endures the pain and provides sufficient food, it is as simple as breathing and drinking water. For him, it is not difficult to stack up to 25% of the upper limit through repeated "serious injuries" and "recovery" in one day. The difficulty is that the "joy after pain" after stacking up to 25% is rather stupid. But on this point, you can think of ways to do it in the places you travel.

Unlike the joyful ritual of career promotion, "joy after pain" does not require others to witness it, but is one's own "joy".

On the sacred duel field, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

The accumulation over such a long period of time has finally turned into the "material" for his growth today, making his strength rise by leaps and bounds.

He looked at his panel.

-

Compared with before, panel data is much more luxurious.

Ryan's eyes fell on the titles [God Killer] and [Storm Swordsmanship (Master)].

The former is a special title he obtained by killing the remains of Li Shen. The effect is simple and crude. When facing gods-like enemies, it increases the resistance to abnormal conditions.

As for the latter, the level breakthrough of [Storm Swordsmanship] made Ryan stunned for a moment, but he finally came to his senses.

As he truly mastered [Storm Swordsmanship - Sea Dividing], the level of this swordsmanship also unknowingly made a breakthrough.

This kind of improvement in the form of "moisturizing things silently" is easy for people to ignore.

[Spirituality], [Physical], six new professional skills, such a huge improvement in strength that Ryan can no longer define his specific strength.

But what he can be sure of is that if the Lishen Relic and the Libra Pope are revived and fight again, under the conditions of limiting the "third-level limit" spirituality, there will inevitably be a one-sided crushing battle.

A faint smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

After summarizing the great gains after this career promotion, Ryan raised his head and discovered that the golden shield covering the edge of the sacred duel field had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by golden light spots falling from the sky.

It is like the light that tears through the darkness after the eternal night, falling on every corner of the outlying island.

As the golden light points fell, the demons whose bodies were immobilized turned into streams of light and flew into the underground maze.

And because the maze entrance where Li Shen's remains broke through the ground, it also began to slowly subside, and eventually went deep into the ground.

If the ground wasn't covered with green grass, everything would be like a dream.

After this battle, the people on the outlying islands had cut off their belief in the God of Scales.

The light screen floating in the sky was shattered, and only the glow of the "Artifact - Sacred Scale" was still shining. However, it had lost the source of faith. This time, the ultimate bloom was more like the last afterglow before the sunset of the sun.

The sacred duel ground was still suspended high in the sky. Ryan turned around and looked at the fire witch Mirilla on the pillar.

The girl, whose face was so pale that it was almost white, walked step by step to the duel field and came to Ryan.

"Pong..."

The sacred duel field shattered and turned into countless light particles, while the bodies of Ryan and the Fire Witch Miranla slowly landed on the high platform below under the support of a gentle force.

"Red Kite..."

Ryan's voice interrupted the wordless silence.

"Purple Wind Knight, thank you this time."

"The reward I promised you is located in the treasure house deep in the center of the Santos Palace. When Ariel wakes up, you can give this token to her and she will fulfill the promise on my behalf."

Miranla took out an earring that looked like burning flames and handed it to Ryan.

After doing this, she turned around and walked to the ice coffin with some difficulty. She looked at the girl lying quietly inside, her face gradually turning rosy, and her body becoming more and more vitality. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Her body started from the edge and gradually became somewhat transparent.

"You..." Ryan stood not far away from the ice coffin, frowning.

"I'm about to die." Miranla tilted her head and said with a smile: "Do you think that there is no need to pay a price for using the secret technique of reversing life and death and using the sacred instrument - the sacred scale?"

"I know you have many questions, but I don't have time anymore..."

"You can ask my sister Huang Bing later. She probably knows everything I know..."

While speaking, the Fire Witch Miranla leaned down, reached her right hand into the ice coffin, and gently stroked the girl's smooth face.

As if she felt something, the eyelashes of the girl lying quietly in the ice coffin trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

The blue-gold pupils, which were like the sea, were hazy and confused, but they soon regained their clarity.

Looking at the girl in front of her, the real water drop princess, Ariel, lightly opened her lips: "... Mi... Lanla."

Her voice was hoarse because she hadn't spoken for a long time, but it could not hide her natural clarity.

The fire witch Mirilla burst into a smile: "It's me."

"Long time no see, Ariel."

In the sound, the transparency of the edges of her body became more and more serious.

A look of panic appeared in the eyes of Water Drop Princess Ariel. She wanted to raise her hand, but with her weak body, even the simple action of raising her hand seemed extremely difficult.

When her hand touched Miranla's body, it went through nothing.

"Although this is a bit cruel..."

"But, Ariel."

The smile on Miranla's face remained unchanged: "Do you still remember the promise you made?"

"To create a world without the oppression of divine power, where people live and work in peace and contentment, a world that can accommodate witches to live freely and happily."

"I...should not be able to see it, but I believe you can do it."

"In the past, your eyes were always filled with confidence and optimism."

"Stop crying, you are completely different from what I remember..."

Tears fell from the corners of Water Drop Princess Ariel's eyes. Her dormant memories began to awaken, and her dead self was resurrected. She could not imagine what a huge price she had to pay to achieve this.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, and clenched her outstretched right hand little by little, but it was difficult to retain the particles of light passing between her fingers.

"Then, goodbye, Ariel, if there is still hope to see you again..."

The body of the Fire Witch Miranella completely faded away, turning into countless red light particles flying like butterflies.

"Tap..."

A light footsteps appeared behind him, and Ryan did not look back because he already knew the identity of the person coming.

The girl wearing a yellow overturned mask appeared next to Ryan. Even though she tried hard to suppress it and clenched her fists, her delicate body still trembled slightly and she couldn't control it.

"elder sister……"

The girl's sad voice echoed on the high platform, and the "butterfly" composed of countless red light particles seemed to pause in the air, casting an apologetic look here, and then completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

The princess woke up from her long sleep in the ice coffin. Her eyes were moist and empty. She raised her hand blankly and never put it down for a long time.

Ryan stepped forward and came to the ice coffin.

The clear sound of footsteps made the eyes of the droplet princess Ariel flicker. She turned her head and her eyes were attracted by the flame earrings in Ryan's palm.

It beats and burns like a real flame, like the incarnation of a girl in the world.
