Chapter 258: Kill with one sword
We must fight quickly!
The question is, how can we cause the maximum damage to the carrion beetles in a short time?
It is definitely not possible to rely on the "Warlock Mask", Gao Fei subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.
At the low level stage, the explosive power of the spellcasting profession is far less than that of the melee profession.
Gao Fei can switch masks once today. Which of the twelve professions corresponding to the twelve magic masks has the highest damage output?
Berserker?
No!
Gao Fei's current strength attribute configuration is very low, only a pitiful 10, and the 4 points of strength attribute increased by "Rage" will not help.
What about the thief?
If Simba is not paralyzed by poison, he can provide Gao Fei with a pincer attack and cooperate with the "Thief Mask" to launch a sneak attack, causing an additional 1d6 damage.
Unfortunately, Simba is now unable to move, and even if Gao Fei changes to the "Thief Mask", he may not be able to deal sneak attack damage.
Is there any better choice?
Gao Fei's mind is running at a high speed, deducing various feasible tactics.
For example, if you switch to the "Ranger Mask", and choose the "Stranger" belonging to the Carrion Beetle as the first enemy, you will have an advantage in attacking, and the damage will be calculated into the +2 perception modifier. The advantage is that the hit rate is higher than that of the thief, and the expected damage is slightly reduced.
No, there is a better choice than the Ranger!
Gao Fei suddenly remembered something, and decisively switched the "Warlock Mask" to the "Warlock Mask", and chose "Weapon Contract (Rapier)" for "Magic Contract"!
…
Weapon Contract: The Warlock chooses a weapon, injects magic power, and concludes a contract. When using this weapon to attack, it has an advantage, and the damage is additionally calculated into the Charm modifier. When fighting against the damage-reducing armor, the contract weapon is considered a magic weapon.
…
The "Contract Weapon" of the Warlock is similar to the "Enemy" ability of the Ranger, the difference is that the "Enemy" damage is calculated into the Perception modifier, while the "Contract Weapon" is calculated into the Charm modifier.
Gao Fei's current Charm attribute is 18, and the Perception attribute is only 14. Of course, the "Contract Weapon" is more powerful!
After switching the mask, Gao Fei drew out his rapier, and selected "Hide" from the list of professional skills of the sorcerer. He quietly sneaked behind the carrion worm and drew his sword to stab it!
Swish!
A flash of cold light, triggering a critical hit!
Stay calm, don't be too lazy in basic operations.
After all, the rapier is a weapon known for its high critical hit rate. With a 15% critical hit rate, it is normal to trigger it occasionally.
The basic damage of the rapier is 1d6, Gao Fei's agility modifier +4, "Contract Weapon" adds 4 charm modifiers, and finally counts the double damage of the critical hit. This sword stabs the carrion worm, causing 26 points of damage, instantly killing the big worm with low health!
The carrion worm lay on the ground dejectedly, and the tentacles that were originally wrapped around Simba also fell off.
After getting rid of the restraints, Simba quickly recovered from paralysis, and rubbed his furry big head against Gao Fei affectionately to express gratitude.
Claire and Mario teamed up to kill another scavenger. Just as they ran over to help Gao Fei, they saw him kill the scavenger with one sword. They were stunned!
The same question was circling in Claire and Mario's minds:
This guy was just a warlock, and now he's playing with a sword. What kind of job is he? !
"What's my job?"
Facing Claire and Mario's doubts, Gao Fei selectively told the truth.
"My extraordinary job is 'Imitator', which can imitate some abilities of other jobs, such as spells."
"I understand! No wonder you also know 'Whip of Thorns' and 'Flash', it turns out that you imitated them from Claire!" Mario suddenly realized.
"Musk, can you really imitate my spells?" Claire still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Sister Claire, but my professional level is too low, I can only imitate level 0... No, wait a minute!"
Before Gao Fei finished speaking, he received a system prompt, informing him that he had reached the milestone of this chapter, the star disk energy +1, the imitator profession was upgraded to level 3, and he also obtained a level 1 "imitation"!
"Sister Claire, let me correct you. In fact, in addition to 0-ring magic, I can also imitate a 1-ring magic. If you don't believe me, you can verify it on the spot."
"Wow! It's getting more and more interesting!" Claire was interested, "Tell me, Musk, how can I verify your magical imitation ability?"
"It's very simple. First tell me which 1-ring spells you can cast."
"I can cast 'Disguise' and 'Magic Fang'."
"Let's use 'Magic Fang' to experiment. Sister Claire, you cast this magic now. I need to spend some time to observe carefully."
"No problem, you watch carefully!"
Claire immediately drew 3 points of magic power and cast the 1-ring "Magic Fang" under Gao Fei's gaze. Her hands were surging with golden light, and her nails seemed to become particularly sharp. In the reflection of the fire, her fingertips flashed with the luster of an enchanted weapon.
"Musk, I have cast the 'Magic Fang' on my hands. In the next five minutes, my hands will be equivalent to a +1 enchanted blade." Claire spread her hands and showed them to him, "Have you learned it?"
System prompt: After a round of focused observation, you have successfully imitated the 1st level "Magic Fang". Do you want to add it to the spell list corresponding to the "Warlock Mask"?
Gao Fei made a positive choice, and then imitated Claire's casting gestures and spells, raised his right hand, and gently stroked the lion Simba beside him.
Golden magic flowed from his fingers like a trickle, and was injected into the lion's body, temporarily upgrading Simba's claws to natural weapons with +1 enchantment level!
"Wow! You are really good! Awesome!" Claire couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this scene.
"Brother Musk, where did you learn your profession as an imitator?" Mario asked curiously.
"An ancient book about the craft of making magic masks..."
Gao Fei briefly recounted the ins and outs of how he inherited the profession of imitator.
After listening to it, Claire and Mario envied his good luck and admired his honesty and integrity.
"Brother, if you have a little greed and keep Judge Colt's briefcase for yourself, you won't get the second volume of the inheritance book, and you won't be able to get this magical profession." Mario sighed, "So, people do things, God sees, and in life, we still have to believe that good will be rewarded!"
Claire nodded in agreement, and then called her companions to continue on their way.
Gao Fei and his party did not encounter any more monsters on the following journey and returned to the "Paradise Tavern" smoothly.
On the way, Gao Fei chatted with his companions and took the time to look at the new abilities he gained after upgrading.
The Mimic was upgraded to level 3, HP +7, the number of times the magic mask can be switched per day increased to 3 times, and a professional ability called "Disguise Expert" was awakened.
