Abyss Domination Chapter 111: Determination and Deduction!

It was late at night.

Soran took the element crystal by his side before he looked up his data.

His accumulated slaughter EXP had already reached 34,000 points, which was enough for him to constantly improve several professional grades. But he was confused about whether he should choose to constantly improve wizard's grades or to prepare for advancing professions to improve thief's grade. Improving wizard's grades required time to memorize spells of great growing potential, but Soran didn't have enough time. However, improved thief's grade could directly advance to shadow dancer and assassin who were both powerful.

"Indeed, the accomplishment of spell master requires a lot of time and wealth."

Looking at the window, Soran frowned. He seemed to have heard something moving. It might be elf patrolling in the village. But you'd better not go outside after midnight because no one would believe that you were just wandering outside. They might doubt you as malicious thieves and robbers.

There seemed to be screams coming out.

But it wasn't a big noise and disappeared after a while.

Soran looked out and saw burning fires in a distance. There seemed to be ten more elf guards gathering near the fane. Every village situated a small fane where priests serving the god of elf lived there. Moat sanctuaries were located in downtown areas. Priests in the village were all interns of professional grade 5 whose spells were very limited.

After thinking for a while, Soran felt it was better to first improve thief's grade.

Compared with wizards, he was more familiar with rogues, no matter in their fighting modes or other situations. But when it came to wizards, he could only tap about 50% of his potential. However, he could tap full potential if improving thief's grade and rogues could re-advance in certain conditions and even have a third advancement if possible.

Here, thief's advancement should be mentioned.

There were many branched of rogue's advancement, such as thief's branch【Dodger】, fighting branch【Wandering Swordsman】, tracking branch【Bounty Hunter】，assassination branch【Assassin】 , evading branch【Evader】and avoiding branch【Shadow Dancer】.

In addition, there were half-advancing professionals in charge of serving spirits, such as 【Ronin】，【Dark Guard】，【Dead Spirit Hunter】,etc., and re-advancing legendary professions like 【Shadow Walker】,【Dark Disguiser】,【Treasure Hunter】,【Demon Assassin】and so on. Third advancement of professions was extremely special, which belonged to the field of god and spirits and had very limited varieties. One of the representative one was【Shadow Master】.

Re-advancement required certain conditions. If one succeeded to accomplish advancement, his original profession would be replaced.

Soran once wanted to advance from Evader to Shadow Master, but he failed because he didn't manage to get the spiritual fragment of Shadow's King.

The storm lord of the battle of the wild cannibals in white horse city was priest and barbarian, who managed to advance to legendary profession【Storm Lord】.

According to Soran's estimates, her professional grade of storm lord was at most three.

If he managed to get the spiritual fragment of Shadow's King, his level-5 Evader would be replaced as leve-5 Shadow Walker and finally advance to level-1 Shadow Master.

Although the overall professional grade didn't change much, advancement came with a dramatic increase in powers.

If Soran's memory served him correctly, he was most familiar with spirits, Shadow's King whose professional grade was a combination of level-10 rogue, level-10 dark disguiser, level-5 shadow master and level-5shadow knitter and level-10 shadow god empowered with spirits. The total professional grade was 40.

If you wanted to stand by gods, you had to learn how to restrict yourself and focus on one thing.

Distraction would always fall short of concentration.

Strictly speaking, the improvement path of Soran's power was Shadow Master because to be a shadow master needed high rogue's grade and spell casting power. There were many constitution, skill and specialty requirements of advancement. Normally, the higher the constitution of specialty was, the more advancing profession one could choose. Although he didn't not transfer to Shadow Wizard, he could also reach the spell grade of shadow master.

Without spell grade, the only way of advancement was to acquire godhood.

Sitting in front of the table, Soran thought how he should improve himself in the future. It was very important because if he made a mistake, he had to waste a lot od time and failed to get his goal to integrate his power. He might be the Jack of all trades, but the master of none. If he could not get godhood, he might be a semiskilled legendary professional, who would be easily killed by spirits. The reason why he dared to fight with legendary wizard previously was that he was a pure legendary rogue.

The limits of a certain power were always the power of spells.

"Over 200 points of alchemy and full points of toxic pharmacy are required to be an assassin. Re-advancement to demon assassin requires improving three-ring spell to advanced spell. If I can go to orc's place and learn Mirror spell, my fighting power will definitely be improved."

Soran took out a piece of paper and began to write symbols and words, all of which were the professional grades he memorized in the past, as well as the expertise that could be trained to master. Advanced professions are all highlighted in one aspect. If thieves could master a variety of skills, be it stealing, fighting or evading, then all other advanced professions were focused on one aspect.

Soran wrote many words on the paper, perhaps thousands of symbols and characters. By the time he finished cataloging his memorization, it was almost midnight.

"There are three specialties all together to advance from assassin to demon assassin, which are hard to train."

Soran looked at the capacity data on the table and drew a few lines to connect the power of the Demon Assassin to the wizard's grade, and finally put it into the advanced conditions of the shadow master. He frowned and said "I need 12 more specialties, five free constitutions, over 500 points of skills and a piece of fragment of godhood."

Soran sighed and said "Sure enough, I do not have enough innate constitutions and talents like heroes. It is impossible to advance with the current talent in a short time."

After listing data on a piece of paper, he took out another piece and began to calculate the accelerating capacity of shadow dancer.

Advanced profession required some talents which were aimed to add them to meet the conditions of some advanced legendary professional.

Dragon mage was a good example. Without the ability of mage, you could by no means advance to dragon mage.

Until dawn, Soran finished the advancement deduction of shadow dancer. Glancing at the numerous words and symbols, he murmured "Shadow dancer can be advanced to shadow walker with the current ability of evading, avoiding and shadowing. No extra time and training are required, but I still need two or three specialties."

"And there is still a huge gap to advance to shadow master."

Knocking at his forehead, Soran tried to forget all the complicated calculations and tool a deep breath by the window.

No matter how he advanced himself, he couldn't meet the basic requirements of shadow master, which were 450 points of evading, 300 points of avoiding, 300 points of knowledge (layer), 150 points of detecting, 150 points of searching, 150 points of spell identifying, talents of shadow master, legendary shadow shuttling, shadow cross-layer portal, legendary shadow expertise, 30 points of DEX and 25 points of cognition.

"Helpless."

Soran took the paper on the table and said "No matter how I advance and add, there is still a huge gap."

Accomplishing re-advancement meant reaching legendary professions.

Shadow master required a third advancement, the same level as gods and spirits. No matter how he recalled his memory, he couldn't think of a quick way to advance himself.

Most specialties consumed a lot of time to train and master. It might be a decade or several decades.

"Without godhood, only the son of god can reach the required constitution."

Soran sighed and tore the paper to pieces. Then a light came out from his fingertips, and soon all the statistics were burnt to ashes. He sat down again, picked up the pen and wrote something to connect many complex symbolic texts, saying "If I cannot advance to shadow master, I have to focus on what I have now."

"Assassin, Shadow dancer and Bounty Hunter."

He wrote three symbols on the paper and listed soldiers, rangers, wizards, mages, priests and so on. He closed his eyes, trying to deduct something from the fighting abilities of various professions. What he was doing was just like scientists deducting equations in their heads or simulating deductions of fighting tactics. After a while, he opened his eyes and said "It seems that shadow dancer has the most powerful combating ability who does not have obvious shortcomings when fighting with any professionals."

"So?"

"I should advance shadow dancer and then try to transfer to shadow walker?"

"It is in turmoil!"

"Damn it! Ordinary people cannot fight with gods and saints descending upon the earth without absolute talent. Now no one can say that he can defeat them. If I have the talent of mage and then advance to dragon mage, I am able to find my fate card and transfer to heaven mage. If that is possible, then I can have some winning chance when facing with spirits."

There was a ditch that could not be crossed between man and spirits.

Soran spent a night calculating. The only advanced profession that could fight spirits was Shadow Master. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a way to meet the basic requirements.

Giant dragons were emerging.

Legendary professionals were also appearing. It wouldn't be long for the son of god and half-god to appear. He had immense pressure.

Avoiding what was happening could not solve anything.

Even if he carried Vivian to Snow Nation, they also had to face the holy spirits.

Let alone Vivian might be the girl of the god.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

In the morning sun a gentle knock came on the door. The knocking position was very low. Soran opened the door and saw little Vivian holding a large tray on which there were porridge and snacks. She was too small, so it was a little tired for her to hold it well. But when Soran opened the door, she immediately raised her small head and smiled "Brother. I bring you breakfast."

Soran reached for the tray, held up little Vivian and kissed her soft cheek.

At this moment, he made the worst decision in his mind that if there was really no way, he would give up his life to become Shadow Demon.
