The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 222 Rank 1 Battle Mage

He had enough skill points to upgrade his class to a higher tier. He smiled knowingly that his power would increase greatly after he promoted his class. He didn’t need to delay it anymore just to fight someone in the dungeon stronger than him and he will let other delay time just to promote his class.

He still had 2 skill-level up cards in his system. He will use it to promote his next class to rank 2.

Souta looked at his spells with a serious expression. He will use the [Gravitational Ball] spell to promote his class.

Without further ado, Souta used his skill points to level up the spell.

[Gravitational Ball] level 4 > 10

He then heard a familiar sound in his mind. He looked over and saw several messages in the interface.

*Ding!*

[You’ve fulfilled the requirement to promote to a higher tier class!]

[You’ve opened up four classes!]

[Battle Mage]

[Elite Mage]

[Sorcerer]

[Wizard Knight]

Souta saw four different class above the mage in the interface. He didn’t need to think twice as he chooses the Battle Mage class without hesitation. He was familiar with this class the most so he chose this without a second thought. He didn’t need to risk himself in choosing another class that was unknown to him. It was not entirely unknown to him but their fighting style was incompatible with him.

He didn’t think that he would do well if he chose a class other than the Battle Mage. He doesn’t want to train himself just to grasp the fighting style of the other class. It would waste his time.

[Do you want to promote your class to a higher class Battle Mage? Yes/No?]

’Yes.’ Souta quickly answered in his mind. After he answered the question, he heard several system prompts in his head. At the same time, warm energy from an unknown source rejuvenates his entire body. The energy seeped into every fiber of his muscles.

*Ding!*

[You’ve successfully promoted your class to Battle Mage!]

[Intelligence attribute has increased by 100!]

[Strength, Agility, Dexterity, and Vitality attributes have increased by 50!]

[Mana pool has increased by 300!]

[Health has increased by 100!]

[Stamina has increased by 50!]

[Energy resistance has increased by 100%!]

[Physical resistance has increased by 100%]

[Mana recovery has increased by 40!]

[Health recovery has increased by 10!]

[Stamina recovery has increased by 10!]

[Spell power has increased by 100%]

*Ding!*

[All level 10 tier 1 spells have the power of a level 1 tier 2 spell!]

[All level 10 tier 2 spells have the power of a level 1 tier 3 spell!]

[All Weapon Mastery levels have increased by 1!]

*Ding!*

[Your health has reached the first threshold!]

[Your health recovery has increased by 20!]

[You can now regenerate a missing finger!]

[You can regenerate a missing limb in the future if you reach a certain threshold!]

*Ding!*

[You’ve gained the skill Weapon Caster!]

[Your spell power will increase by 10% if you’re holding a weapon while casting a spell!]

Souta read the messages in the interface one by one. This was the reason why Souta wanted to promote his class to Battle Mage. The increase in level to his [Weapon Mastery] skill was great. This alone boosted battle power to a higher level. This class wouldn’t be called a Battle Mage if one didn’t know how to handle a certain weapon.

The other classes that focused on the spell power didn’t have this kind of benefit. But the increase in their mana, intelligence attribute, and spell power was larger than Battle Mage.

Wizard Knight class was the same as Battle Mage but it was focused on close combat. The stats increased in other stats other than intelligence were than Battle Mage but the increase in mana was lower than Battle Mage. One could say that the Battle Mage was a balanced class.

Moving to energy resistance, this is much better than magic resistance that he received when he raised his rank as a mage. The magic resistance could only resist spells made of mana so it couldn’t resist other types of energy but energy resistance was different, it could resist mana and other types of energy just like the best feram of the monsters.

In other words, Souta could probably endure the pressure of the best feram of a third evolution monster.

Promoting his class to Battle Mage also increased his physical resistance. This is one of the things that he didn’t receive when he was promoting his rank as a Mage. A Battle Mage was required to fight close-quarter combats in some cases so they have at least physical resistance in their bodies.

Moving to the large increase in his spell power. Looking at this point, Souta could call himself a tier 3 magician as his level 10 [Gravitational Ball] could rival those tier 3 spells. This was a good start for him. The power of this spell was undoubtedly powerful. He could control the gravity around him to a certain degree using this spell. It can be used as a support or offense. It could do a lot of things. That’s why Souta used it to promote his class to Battle Mage.

Then, the [Weapon Caster] skill that he received. Every mid-level class has unique skills like this one. In the case of Battle Mage, [Weapon Caster] was its unique skill. Souta wouldn’t be able to level up this skill using skill points. This skill was entirely different from other skills that he had.

[Weapon Caster] would grow powerful as long as he promoted his class to a higher rank. That’s the only way to level up this skill.

Souta checked his stats and used his free attribute points to make the end of his attributes into 5 and 0.

The next is...

*Ding!*

[Please choose your specialty!]

[Darkness]

[Water]

[Wind]

[Fire]

[Earth]

[Light]

[Lightning]

[Ice]

"Huff..." Souta chose [Darkness] without hesitation. He didn’t need to think twice to pick [Darkness] once again. He was sure that if he picked another specialty then his affinity would increase. He would become a double affinity like some of his classmates.

The problem was Souta didn’t have any idea what will happen if he chose another element so just like in the game he chose the [Darkness]. Plus, there’s an advantage if he chose [Darkness]. He would receive benefits as he chose two [Darkness] as his specialty.

*Ding!*

[You’ve gained innate physique - Shadow Body!]

[You can now easily learn shadow type combat arts!]

Just like in the game, he received [Shadow Body] after he chose [Darkness] as his second affinity. This innate physique was highly compatible with his current class.

Szzz!

Souta knitted his brows as he felt something changing in his body. He couldn’t explain the feeling but it was unpleasant. It took a few minutes before the unpleasant feeling disappeared.

After that, a system prompt once again rang in his head.

*Ding!*

[The Skill Tree of the Battle Mage and Mage have fused into one skill tree!]

"Oh!" This is what Souta was waiting for.

The new skill tree of the Battle Mage class. New spells and skills will be available for him to learn. His battle prowess would soar into new heights once he learned the right spell or skill for him.

He opened the interface of the skill tree with an excited expression. Every gamer would be excited to see new skills that they could learn and he wasn’t an exception.

Above the [Gravitational Ball] spell were three other spells.

[Doppelganger]

[Dark Cloud Hunting]

[Shadow Dispersion]

All these spells were tier 2 spells. His class was Battle Mage, a mid-level class, so it’s natural that the spells that available in the skill tree were tier 2 spells. He smiled looking at these three tier 2 spells. Above these spells were another bunch of spells but he needed to learn the spells below before he could unlock the spells above.

At the side of the spells were combat arts for Battle Mage class.

[Shadow Cloak]

[Shadow Step]

These combat arts were the same. To unlock the combat arts above, Souta needed to learn these first. Well, he used most of his skill points in leveling up [Gravitational Ball] spell so he didn’t need to think about these for a moment. It was enough for him to see the familiar skill tree.

Souta took a deep breath and looked at his stats.

Souta nodded in satisfaction while looking at his stats. He couldn’t help but recall what he experienced ever since he came into this world.

"Hays..."

He stood up and stretched his body. At first, he doesn’t have any feelings in this world. He just wanted to survive even if it means destroying everything but now... he felt that his feelings were changing.

"Well, it’s not that bad."

Souta smiled and he opened the door. He contacted Yuko through his connection and said that he’ll be back tomorrow morning.

"Let’s see the elves in the red light district. I want to test the stamina recovery if it really increased."
