Chapter 39: Major Jobs and Skill Path

"Well, that's the history of Eastern Continent. That's enough for that. I'll read the history of the other continents by the time I go there myself."

Yan closed the book and returned it to it's original place in the bookshelf.

By the arrangement of the books, he can see that Rosella loved these collection of books. That's why he placed it carefully with the exact look of the shelf the moment before.

He returned to his seat in between Rosella and Rae. By looking at the beauties in his side, he felt satisfaction reached to the bones.

"Um. Rosella, can I ask you something?"

Rosella looked Yan's eyes while replying with a seductive voice. Yan's heart raced with excitement but he knew it was not the proper time.

"Sure."

"Can you tell me the specifics of Major Jobs? Though both of Rae and I have relatively high levels, we don't know about our Jobs, really."

"Well, that's the disadvantages if one were born in a place far from any kingdoms or major settlements. Yes, one can gain levels by fighting monsters but if they do not have the power and money to travel all the way to the capital, they can't really evolve and gain skills for their specific jobs."

"Yeah. Uncle Cain said that we need to go to a job master in the capital or a major settlement to know skills in our jobs."

"That's true. According to the books I have read in the Royal Library and also from my Godfather, over the past thousands of years, major races invented and discovered skills for every specific jobs. But to learn these skills have restrictions. One needs to reach a specific level and you also need to choose a certain skill path to follow."

Yan sat straight while Rae put down her teacup in the table. They were really interested at this topic.

"Skill paths? What are those?"

Rosella took a sip in her tea and continued on explaining.

"Skill paths are the same as it sound. A person needs to choose a certain skill path to gained an specialty in their job."

"Oh. Can you tell me all of those?"

"Sure. Every Major Jobs has three skill paths to choose..."

Rosella took a scroll from her storage ring to let both of them see while she explained its content.

"By choosing a certain path, an individual can learn certain type of skills by learning it from Job Master who are often seen in the capital or major settlements. You can only learn those by of course paying them with large amount of gold coins, reach certain levels, and you also need to learn the prerequisite skills."

When Yan heard all of this, he began to plan for the future. He never expected this situation. Though the way he learn is different from other, all in all, he still needed a lot of money for his skills to catch up to his levels.

"Oh. That's why we need to earn lots and lots of money from now on."

"Yes. I can lend you some if you want."

Rosella offered money casually to Yan. He was of course her future husband, she will help him with anything.

When Yan heard her offer, he flat out refuse it immediately.

"No. I'm not that kind of man. I need to earn it myself. Thank you but you should keep it. Maybe in the future, when the time is dire, you can help me with other things. But not for this one."

Rosella just nodded lightly while taking a sip in her cup. She was happy with his reply. She knows that every man needs to stand up for himself and not use his wife as a shield.

Rae's eyes also flashed with determination. She would not become Yan's burden. She needs to work hard too.

While thinking of something, Yan had a thought.

'Catriona, what kind of skill path should I pick for my job?'

[Don't worry about it master. As I am a God-Killer System, you do not need to choose paths for you can learn all the skills for your job. Provided of course, you have the amount of gold to pay me. Hehe.]

Yan heard Catriona's mischievous laugh. He thanked and cursed the system. Yes, he can become very powerful in the future but the only flaw is that he need large amount of money to fully utilised the system.

'Well, it is what it is.'

Yan only sighed it his heart.

Three of them continued to chat and flirt the whole morning and afternoon in the Guild Master's office.

Midnight, the moons are at their highest point in the night.

"Sir, it's time."

As a man with dark cloak kneeled in front of a very large man.

Benedict Tudor stood up from his seat and grabbed his beloved weapon. He was waiting for this moment for the last ten years. He needed to prove his worth in the capital and in front of the Royal Family.

He took a deep breath and his eyes flashed a viscous glint. No one can stop his determination. If anyone stops him from finishing this job, he was ready to kill.

"Let's go!"

The last of the information dump. I really needed all of these to let out. It kept creeping on my mind and it really needs to be let out. lol. Enjoy! ♥️

Chapter 40: Ambush

Benedict Tudor and his five henchmen travelled through the night in their horses.

With his white hair and fire-red eyes, a common trait of a Tudor, he led them to the woods towards Rosario Village.

"We don't want any mistakes or slip ups. I will kill anyone who will fuck up. Understand?!"

Benedict Tudor's voice was like of a growling tiger. With the Tudor's reputation for cruelty, everyone was afraid to mess up.

"Yes, sir!"

- - -

After half an hour of travelling, they've passed through a road surrounded by tall trees. With the night's shade and thick fog, Benedict Tudor suddenly felt alert in his heart.

He intently looked around his surroundings. He knew monsters here are relatively weak but with his experience, he still decided to prepare for the unexpected.

Out of nowhere, he heard multiple whistling sounds approaching towards them at an alarming rate.

'An ambush!'

He jolted and warned everyone.

"Incoming!"

SWISH. SWISH. SWISH. SWISH. SWISH.

As he saw an icicle heading towards him, Benedict jumped out his horse to block the incoming attack with his sword.

Pak!

He successfully defended himself. He looked at his sword as ice starting to wrapped around it.

"Argh!"

One of the Rogue servant was hit by the attack. He was thrown off from his horse. His other hand had now been frozen solid. He hurriedly drank a violet potion. Knowing that May Mercury was a high level Ice Mage, they already prepared this potion. The ice forming around his arm started to melt but at a slower rate than normal.

'It's colder than the normal ice magic but does not posses a high damaging power. Must be at least a Level 40 Ice Mage but using a low level Ice Missile skill.'

He suddenly felt surging anger in his heart. He roared.

"You ant. How dare you sneak attack me!"

As an innate element to their bloodline, his sword started to emit intense heat. Slowly, the ice wrapping his sword started to melt.

"Come out here and fight!"

RAWR!

• Skill: Intimidating Roar Level 10 - Buffs self and allies Strength while weaken the enemies' in 10 meter radius for 10 minutes.

• Skill: Battle Hunger Level 5 - Buffs self and allies' Attack Speed for 10 minutes.

• Skill: Impeding Victory - Buffs self with +80% Parry Chance. If successfully parried an attack, gain +350% Critical Hit on the next strike.

Benedict casted three skills at the same time to prepare for the incoming enemy.

At his back, all five of his henchmen also prepared to fight.

Three Rogues brought out their fist-weapons and daggers. They walked backwards and slowly meld with darkness, becoming completely invisible.

The two remaining mages casted their buff skills. Three ball of lights appeared and slowly rotated in their body. An illusory eye is also hovering in the heads.

• Skill: Arcane Armour Level 8 - Increases defence against magic attacks. Each ball of light can absorb 5,000 magic damage, a total of 15,000 magic damage absorption for 10 minutes.

• Skill: Eye of Intelligence Level 5 - Buffs self with Intelligence for 10 minutes.

Even facing an ambush, all of them did not panic.

Four shadows emerged out from the fog, 200 meters away from them. Two of the individuals are a young man and young woman, not older than 18. Both of them are dashing youngsters, and also a large white wolf. While the last one was well-known to all of them. Most of the people in the noble circle in the capital knew who she was. She was Rosella von Teese or for her other, not so popular name, Rosella Wenchester.

Benedict was clearly shocked by her sudden appearance. He knew that Rosella was banished to somewhere years ago by the Wenchesters for not acknowledging them as her family.

Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of him with clear hostility.

He had a bitter memory with Rosella. Eight years ago, he had asked for her hand in marriage. Those where the time when he known as a Human Race genius.

With his haughty attitude and huge pride, he thought that only as beautiful as Rosella can be his rightful bride. In public, he proposed to her in an extravagant way. He was expecting she would say 'yes' to him.

But contrary to his expectations, she rejected him immediately and called him disgusting and shameless.

It was day of the start of his downhill reputation. He became the laughingstock of the whole capital. Everywhere he go, he would always be the the topic of discussion.

Months later, Rosella, who was younger than him by many years, already passed his level by three. He started to panic. He tried everything to rise up his levels to catch up to her.

But his efforts proved too futile. By the years later, their level's difference became wider and wider. Right now, he was eight levels behind her.

Rosella's name spread allover the capital while his name was slowly buried in time. From a prideful genius who was admired by everyone into a forgotten name.

Remembering the cause of his humiliation in the past standing in front of him, Benedict's fuse broke.

"Rosella, you bitch, why are you here?!"

When Rosella heard his insult, she only looked at him with distain.

"Who are you? I don't know you."

By saying one sentence, Rosella hit his reverse-scale. She was clearly saying his name worth nothing now.

"Argh! I'm going to kill you!"

Benedict charged towards Rosella by using a movement skill.

• Skill: Blitz - Charging towards an opponent at a very high speed.

Her level was higher than him but he knew the major weakness of a spell-caster like her, a close-range battle.

He disregarded the other three beside her. He noticed their low-class equipments and age, they were comparable to an ant to him.

"With just you?"

Rosella already prepared for his move, dark energy swirl both of her hands.

"You three, take care of the other five at the back. I'll personally handle him. How dare he insult my wife in front of me."

Without waiting for their reply, Yan also leaped towards Benedict. With Mjolnir in his hands, he was fearless.

"Wife? Kid, you're just a boy toy! How dare you underestimate me? After I kill you, I'm going to fuck and torture these bitches. I'll make them my personal slave!"

He activated his strongest attack. His huge sword started to emit a baleful bloody energy.

• Skill: Coup de Grace Level 7 - Multiplies a single attack's damage seven folds.

When Yan charged, he trying to stay calm in his first 'person to person' battle. But after hearing his words, he became furious!

Hong!

Large amount of purple lighting appeared and swirled around Mjolnir. It formed into a large lightning dragon!

• Skill: Lightning-Dragon God Strike Level 1 - An illusory version of Lightning-Dragon God will be summoned.

A large sword and a large hammer crossed.

BOOM!

A huge explosion was created. As the dust settled, everyone was shocked by the result.

Two figures were blasted away. Yan was blasted for only ten steps while Benedict was thrown, tumbling down on the ground, 15 meters away.

After a split second, Benedict gained clarity.

He then coughed up large amount of blood.

After recalling what had happen, fear crept into his heart. He looked at the young man who faced his strongest strike with disbelief, it was if he was looking at a monster.

"You...who are you?!"
