chapter 387
387 – Hot Gaze
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that ‘Pyeonlin’ was very considerate of me.
‘Whoa…’
I focused again on the message that came to mind.
Because now the time to make choices will come in earnest.
– You will be given the option to change jobs.
‘You’re here.’
Without fail, four options came to mind.
‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman, Void Mystic, Blade Dervish, Blazing Bombardier…’
I carefully read the description of each class.
Among them, the explanation of the Void Mystic was a bit ambiguous.
‘Empty places’ and disorder. And it was a being that dealt with the concept of chaos and delved into mysteries that literally could not be confirmed.
As someone who uses channels from other dimensions, this is an interesting class.
In addition, it was written that you can obtain the possibility of emptiness and shadow.
I chose the possibility of emptiness, and the job advancement quest led me there. In any case, since I had the means to extend my life, gaining the possibility was always welcome.
However, apart from that, it was not easy to guess what benefits would be gained by choosing this class.
‘Is this an ability that can be used offensively… It seems like a newly connected class that utilizes the potential of the void and other dimensions. Hmm…’
Speaking of dealing with chaos, the movement and regeneration abilities used by the dregs of chaos came to mind.
Would I be able to gain those same abilities if I followed this class path? It is still unknown.
‘Maybe it’s not that bad. It’s clear that it specializes in dimensional movement and space movement, but what is its ability to bring about chaos and disorder? Is it like a status abnormality?’
Among the few abilities, the most interesting one was, of course, the skill ‘Summon the Void’.
This skill, which can be used when the possibility of summoning reaches level 3, is said to be able to summon creatures from the void.
‘Is this something that can summon the dregs of chaos?’
So, is it possible that the evil spirit ‘Blue Eyes’ is of that type?
‘There are no solutions, only questions piling up. In this case, it is right to skip it.’
Moreover, I have already gained the possibility to deal with chaotic dregs through [Essential Gluttony], So going this way would not be efficient.
The next class was named ‘Blade Dervish’.
It appears to have been derived from among the many paths leading to the Shadow Lord.
This is a class that gains additional attack power when using a dagger, has high agility, and has an amazing passive skill called ‘Overwhelming Reflexes’.
In addition, the duration of addiction-related skills is doubled, and you also gain an emotional skill called ‘Persistence’.
When I read the class description, it seemed closer to a thief than an assassin.
If you are aiming to become a treasure hunter, it would be right to go this route.
It was also attractive to get the possibility of shadows, wind, and sound.
‘This looks a little better than the mystic. Poisoning and spending time subduing the opponent… But this would be rat poison for the undead.’
When I actually thought about it, this also had its weaknesses.
The last class presented was a class named Blazing Bombardier.
I could tell what kind of job this was just by looking at the class name.
It seems to have been derived from the path to becoming a bombmaster of destruction, and I think it appeared because I have a lot of explosion-related abilities.
What was most impressive was being able to handle something called a ‘bomber’ more than anything else.
It felt a bit modern, and it actually had the ability to handle something like an airplane.
‘I can only ride alone.’
It is an aircraft with a durability of over 20,000, and has automatic combat capabilities and a passive self-defense system.
It is explained that not only can it handle various types of bombs, but when riding it, it can demonstrate a skill called ‘tactical insight’, allowing it to command the battle efficiently no matter how many people are on the battlefield.
He commands the battlefield while looking at the big picture from the sky, and also has powerful attack power. It’s an interesting job.
‘They say it won’t work unless you ride it yourself… This might be a bit difficult, too.’
You also gain the potential for fire, wind, and steel.
‘It’s unusual in many ways.’
However, even though I could play both a striker and a commander at the same time, I didn’t think it would be a good fit for me.
My ultimate goal is to protect Yeonhee from the destruction of the world.
An aircraft that only I could board had less merit.
It’s also funny that a skeleton can comfortably float alone in an airplane.
‘Hmm… They all have their own merits, but still…’
I read through the long explanation for a while, but nothing really caught my eye.
Because…
– When you change jobs to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, you will be granted powerful perks linked to your abilities!
– When you advance to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the possibility of fire increases to level 3.
– When you advance to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the possibility of voiding increases to level 2.
– When changing jobs to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the possibility of lightning increases to level 2.
– The possibility of death opens when you change jobs to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’.
– When you advance to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the possibility of water opens up.
– When you advance to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the possibility of becoming a rock opens up.
– The possibility of shadows opens up when you advance to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’.
– When changing jobs to ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, the bond with the summoner increases slightly.
‘…Why are you giving so much for just this one thing?’
It was a choice that greatly opened up possibilities, having only been able to choose three options during my last job change.
‘…The intention is clear.’
Among the other options, there were only a few possibilities, but only ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’ had them lined up.
‘Why is it black…? All I can handle is the red flame.’
But then, the system that had been quiet for a while responded.
– Job advancement options are influenced by others’ perceptions.
‘Huh? ‘It’s been a while?’
– …
‘Why does it only appear when I change jobs?’
– …
He is a brat who only says what he wants to answer.
Considering that he only appears when I say something stupid, he might be taking pleasure in sharing his knowledge.
‘Awareness of others… During the job change quest, the term ‘Knight of the Crimson Flame’, which people from another world arbitrarily called, was specified in the system. At the same time, blue eyes started looking for me.’
It’s a system that has always benefited me, but if you think about it the other way around, it also helps other players.
‘It means that blue eyes are no exception to receiving help from the system.’
I shook my head and returned my gaze to the message.
I started looking at jobs other than ‘Black Flame Magic Swordsman’, which was most similar to my original job, but there wasn’t a job that particularly appealed to me. Above all, there were too many advantages to choosing a magic swordsman.
‘It is also interesting that the bond with Yeonhee increases.’
Will anything get better in my relationship with Yeonhee now? In a master-servant relationship, it’s surprising that they sleep together every day… But what’s more…? I don’t know.
I unfolded the explanation of Black Flame’s magic swordsmanship.
[Black Flame Magic Swordsman – Seer of Black Flame, Follower of the Goddess with Tears]
– The fire you bear burns what is evil, and your righteous sword judges the hordes of evil. The hordes of chaos are watching you.
– The ‘goddess with tears’ is watching you.
The pressure is evident from the job description.
‘Hmm… Seer of Flame… He knows the big picture of the future, but it’s a bit of an undeserved nickname…’
Moreover, the job description did not fit my dark nature. Justice… Isn’t this a phrase you would use for a paladin or a paladin?
‘Burning evil and judging the group of evil… I, the undead, am the epitome of evil…’
Although I was puzzled, I couldn’t help but feel nervous when I heard that the chaotic group behind me was watching.
Watching means that monsters like ‘scum of chaos’ are interested in me.
I don’t know how much I will grow through this job change, but if such monsters come in droves, I have no choice but to run away without looking back.
And it was clear that the goddess holding her tears was ‘Irmana’, and it was confirmed that she was also keeping an eye on me. You pray together every day, but why did you not say anything after briefly showing your presence when you were transported to another world?
‘Anyway… I feel like events will happen more frequently. I’ll have to be very tense for a while.’
There was a sense of confusion from the beginning, but the explanation of the class was just the beginning.
– All attacks using bones are infused with flame energy. Even if you do not consume magic power, the flame will respond according to your inner will.
– A bone blade with fire properties can cut through enemies with burning heat and have a high probability of leaving a mark of flame where it passes.
‘Oh… Okay. The probability of marking has increased.’
When I was already fighting the ogre, I was having a hard time because the long-distance attack didn’t have a mark.
Combined with dagger throwing, it can definitely create significant synergy.
– The ‘Great One’ has clearly recognized you. It often brings about the energy of black flame.
‘…Black salt? Can I use that power to create a fiery explosion? That’s why it was named Black Flame. I was worried for no reason.’
Although I don’t know specifically how to bring about the energy of black flame, I was able to know for sure that I had made a mark on the ‘great being’.
However, even a small piece of the ‘Great Being’, a ‘Piece’, is powerful enough to erase the memory of an evil spirit, so how great is the main body?
‘… It could be something much more incredible than I thought. I don’t even know why I was connected to such a being.’
I shook my head and read the explanation again.
– Flame Armor (Level 3) is upgraded to Flame Armor (Level 2).
– When switching to combat mode, inflict powerful fire damage to the first enemy that enters your field of vision.
– When switching to combat mode, enemies within a certain radius are continuously exposed to fire damage.
It was a planned process for the existing fire armor to be strengthened, and what was interesting was that when it changed to ‘combat type’, it could inflict fire damage just by looking at it.
‘This looks like it would be really sweet. Is it causing harm just by looking at it? It’s a crazy ability, isn’t it?’
There’s definitely a cooldown that wasn’t explained, but it was an unheard of ability to inflict fire damage just by looking at it.
– The understanding of fire properties reaches a high level.
– The form of magic using flame becomes more flexible. The border skills between [Fire Ball] And [Wall of Fire] Becomes blurred. Attack power is greatly increased, and the possibility of fusing fire attribute magic opens up.
– When an enemy is killed with flame magic, a small explosion is created and flames spread to nearby enemies.
‘A chain reaction has been added to fire magic… And the freedom of the form of magic means that the form I think of can be realized to some extent.’
The explanation of fusion that follows will be a clue to the ‘ultra’ that all magicians who handle attribute magic are trying to achieve.
