Chapter 182: A battle with the Lich Spearman (1)

(A/N: Of course besides Comedy we also need action!)

"Miss, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" Elga cast the young female a look before cautiously looking at the surroundings. There were still halfway to the mountaintop.

The young female squeezed a corner of her shirt before saying her question. "The thing is. I saw the choices in the class pool but none of them uses spear."

Elga raised her brows, "You wanted to be a spearman?"

The other side nodded. One could see the excitement within the young female’s eyes.

Elga was bit surprised. Not to offend anyone, but majority of females and males in their clan took support and mage related classes. Only a few like her went to train under those Bone Palace’s stooges to be warriors and knights. The berserker was a variant of a warrior class after the second job change.

It was a bit unreal for pixies to have physical classes because their main expertise were focused on the stat- Intelligence but after the clan had agreed in intermarriage with other races hundreds years ago due to survival and expansion of population, anomalies like her who doesn’t conform to the usual pixie’s stereotypes emerged.

It was the main reason why she only had a pitiful amount of mana.

Elga parted her lips and explained. "The Spearman is under the Warrior and Knight Class. Under warrior class, Spearman can use aggressive attack skills like combo, furious jab-and throw attacks. In simple words, spearman can be good in mid and long range attack if you master it well. Under knight class which focused on defending your allies you gained decent CC and defense skills like knockbacks, blocks or deflect."

Her tone a bit bitter because she had tried to learn the spear before but due to the height difference, her progress was a bit slow and her compatibility with axe was high so those stooges dragged her to master it.

She wanted to learn the spear badly after she heard the story of a Divine Lancer who started as a low-level spearman and emerging victorious in the Centennial games. That guy was said to have destroyed a planet by summoning a sky full of flaming spears.

Rumors has it that he also summoned a giant lance as big as a planet when he battled one of the rulers of nemesis empire and successfully eliminated the other side’s entire species.

The young female’s eyes shone when Elga said she could be a spearman. She listened carefully, nodded at Elga’s words.

"Do you want to be attack or defense oriented?"

"Attack." The young female answered.

Elga pursed her lips.

"But if you want to be a spearman, you need to improve your arm and leg strength first..." Elga continued the lecture.

"And if you’re lucky enough, you might be able to discover hidden jobs and be able to wield elemental attacks." Or be that guy. Up until now, she was still bitter about it.

"But since this was one in a lifetime choice, I suggest you spend a bit more time to reconsider. The other classes are not bad too."

The young female shook her head since she already made up her mind long ago. "No, I want to be a spearman!"

Elga lifted the corner of her mouth, "Then, good luck. May the Monarch of Luck smile upon you."

[You have chosen the warrior class.]

[Please pick your weapon specialization.]

[Sword] [Spear] [Axe] [Maces] [Daggers] [Hammer] [Greatsword] [...]

[You have chosen Spear!]

[You have acquired four basic skills: Basic Weapon Mastery (P), Harpoon Strike (A), Dash Strike (A), and Cyclone Slash (A)]

(A/N: Only candidates are given special privilege for weapon mastery as basic skill unlike others where they need to learn it through intensive training. This is for the purpose to let the candidates catch up and adjust fast.)

"I have class now! Thanks Miss Elga." The young female bowed in gratitude.

Elga enviously pouted. Well in any case, none of the classes is perfect.

Spearman may be versatile and can adapt to different playing styles but they have also have disadvantage.

"This pest, just die already!" The lich knight despite being more than 10 levels higher than Haoran was having a hard time piercing the man’s defenses.

All because of that weird thing! How can an equipment from a Newbie Mountain to be this durable when in fact it should have melted long ago after taking so many hits from his abysmal fire.

The abysmal fire is an inherent trait of their species and it was notorious for reducing the regenerative effects of the targets and can melt most of the metals gold grade and below. It was known that only five days have passed and there’s no way someone would be able to acquire an item above gold grade.

The lich knight activated his appraisal skill and looked at Long Haoran’s [Level 19], and scoffed. Not bad but it seems not the most powerful player. How was he able to kill that the mosquito? He was skeptical now. But once he collect this person’s soul, he will found out the truth.

Long Haoran blocked the three black flame harpoons coming in his way with his frying pan for the twentieth time and was pushed back several meters away.

The frying pan was worried for its Master and was cursing the lich for being a bully who only knew a pick a fight with weaklings.

’Master, hang on! I bet that iron-faced lady who can’t live without your food is already on her way together with those gluttons!’

’Pei, this lich is a trash! As long as you use me and my body that guy would only waste mana! I was forged from the strongest metal in the Whole Federation and unless we encounter those at ascension level no one would be able to destroy me!’

Well, except for that abnormal woman...

Anyways...

’Pei! Trash flames! Even that little lotus had better flames than you!’

’This can barely tickle me!’

Long Haoran’s brows furrowed from the burns in his hands. The lich might not be able to observe his situation clearly because he was good at masking his true thoughts but even though he was able to block all those attacks, the temperature alone caused him burns not to mention those splash damages. His clothes already had holes and the skin underneath them was red and stinging.

His hand also had second-degree burns.

This won’t do. He won’t last long.

Long Haoran retreated far away while taking out the dishes he made this morning. He doesn’t know the other’s fire level skills or if the dishes he made was enough to negate the pain but without a viable option, he ate one serving of the two dishes and eating ten lotus chips.

70% damage reduction. I wonder if this will be enough.
