Mage Veigar

Chapter 165 Intermediate Combat Technique
This night is destined to be bloody.

Vega led the main force and began cleaning 20 air-raid shelters.

He marched openly and honorably on the street. Even if the enemy had sent out a signal for help, he was completely fearless because the enemy's support forces no longer believed in the support signals and were completely paralyzed.

Starting from Air-raid Shelter No. 79, Vega wiped out 2600 enemy troops that night, including 112 professionals, but did not encounter any magicians because magicians usually exist in support troops.

According to Vega's idea.

Even if the appetite of the extraordinary evil power is huge, 112 professionals may not be enough for him to upgrade to a level 3 magician, but the magic power brought by 2600 lives is probably enough for him, a level 5 apprentice professional, to be promoted to a lower-level professional.

Compared with magicians of other attributes, the shadow mage's dependence on the professional level is particularly obvious.

The lower-level professionals are a watershed in the professional stage.

Needless to say, the increase in the magic power limit is doubled compared to that of an apprentice level 5 professional. The doubled magic power means that Vega will not have to worry about the magic power reserve when using magic.

Of course, there is another reason that truly distinguishes lower-level professionals from level 5 apprentice professionals.

And this reason has long been coveted by Vega.

Intermediate combat skills.

Compared to the negligible buffs that low-level combat skills provide to the main body, mid-level martial arts skills begin to truly reveal their extremely terrifying power. Although their essence is still to buff various indicators of the body, it is 10 times that of low-level combat skills.

What does 10 times mean?
Assuming that a professional's fist strength is four times that of an ordinary person, which is 4 kilograms, then the use of low-level martial arts can only increase the strength by 320%, or about 100 kilograms.

But the intermediate combat skills are different, its blessing level reaches an astonishing 1000%, exceeding 3200 kilograms!

3200 kilograms is equal to 3.2 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of a medium-sized truck. That is to say, if I punch you with this punch, you may be killed without leaving any trace.

If we add intermediate magic weapons.

Then the lower-level professionals are completely invincible in the war, and can even directly break the magician's shield in the case of a surprise attack, posing a certain degree of life threat to the magician.

Of course, if the magician is determined to escape, there is nothing you can do.

So the question is, since the lower-level professionals with intermediate combat skills are so awesome, why don’t they show their due value in the war, and even their sense of existence is not much different from that of apprentice professionals?

There are two reasons.

The first is that mid-level magic weapons are extremely rare. No one can make them at this stage. Now 99.999% of professionals are using standardized low-level magic weapons. Low-level magic weapons can hardly withstand high-intensity magic infusion, which results in lower-level professionals having brute force but being unable to use it.

The second reason is the intermediate combat skills.

Of course, this does not mean that intermediate combat skills are as rare as intermediate magic weapons. On the contrary, intermediate combat skills are already everywhere. You can go to the Professional Guild and spend 10 gold coins to buy a scroll of intermediate combat skills, which are half-sold and half-given away.

You know, the price of a low-level combat skill is more than 15000 gold coins.

But the advanced mid-level combat skills are 1500 times cheaper than the low-level combat skills. Why is that?
The reason is very simple.

Low-level combat skills are not difficult to learn. Ordinary professionals can master them in half a year, as long as you have enough gold coins to buy enough low-level combat skills. High-level combat skills are very cheap, but they are extremely difficult to learn... No, not only difficult to learn, but almost impossible to learn.

Well known.

The learning of combat skills is the same as the learning of magic. You can only learn one before learning the new one. Otherwise, learning two different combat skills and magic at the same time will cause a conflict between magic power and mental power, and even lead to obsession.

However, it takes up to 25 years to learn an intermediate combat skill.

How many 25 years can a life last?
Ordinary people are over 40 years old when they cultivate to the lower profession. Instead of spending most of their lives wholeheartedly practicing a mid-level combat skill that will only show results after 25 years, it is better to save some money and buy more low-level combat skills that will show results quickly.

And what’s the point of increasing the attack power by 1000%?

Professionals need to grow in all aspects. If they only have attacking ability but no defense, agility, or physical fitness... at best they are just a living target. Professionals are ultimately engaged in close combat.

It is precisely because the effects are too slow that the lower-level professionals have a weak sense of presence.

However, this weakness is only relative to the magician profession. No matter how useless he is, it is still easy for a lower-level profession to defeat a level 5 apprentice profession.

But Vega is different from these lower-level professionals.

He did not learn magic through hard practice, but instead relied on the skill points gained from killing magicians to directly practice magic to the highest level within a few hours.

This is how magic is practiced, and I think it is also the same for professionals to learn combat skills.

As long as he is promoted to a lower-level professional, does it mean that he can learn the combat skills that others need a lifetime to learn in just a few hours?

The strength buff of tearing the city gate apart with one hand, the speed buff of hurricane-like wind through the mountains and forests, the defense buff of withstanding the flame explosion... combined with his shadow magic as a shadow mage that appears and disappears at will, just thinking about it makes me despair for my opponent.

correct.

Although combat skills cannot be released like magic, and even their effects only affect the main body, who says that combat skills that focus on the main body are completely useless? Professionals are the foundation of magicians of any level. As basic professions, professionals and magicians are not opposites, and there is no need to compete with each other, because the two complement each other.

Vega wanted to advance to a lower-level professional as soon as possible, and then directly begin learning intermediate combat skills.

As for those low-level combat skills, there is no need to consider them. First, he does not have so many skill points, and second, he does not have so many gold coins. This is also the main reason why he has not touched low-level combat skills until now.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

After fighting until dawn and killing 2600 people, Vega, who wanted to be promoted to a lower-level professional, found out that he could not be promoted!
Just like the literal meaning.

When he had killed 1500 people, he sensed that he had been able to break through to a lower-level professional. However, the reality was that no matter how many people he killed, even if he did it himself and fought bloody battles, his level was stuck at Level 5 Apprentice Professional and could not improve at all.

even……

Even the throbbing in the heart when reaping lives had completely and thoroughly disappeared.
