You Might Die If I Cast My Healing Spell

317 “Universe Reversal” With Higher Authority (I)

The walls of the watchtower were strong enough to resist the constant stones and arrows that were thrown from the defensive equipment. There was only one staircase to the top of the watchtower and no other routes.

That was why Lin Ye only needed to block the stairs and he could be like Zhang Fei during his battle on Changban Bridge1, holding off ten thousand people by himself.

With Lin Ye’s current ability and skills, it was very easy for him to deal with these orcs from the Shattered Stone Tribe. He didn’t feel any pressure.

However, there was one annoying problem.

Lin Ye’s high burst damage was achieved systematically by increasing his damage output.

If he took out a few skills individually, he could only deal a few thousand damages each time. He could not kill these level 20 monsters with at least 7,000 to 8,000 HP in one go.

He had to rely on his “skill imitation” and “normal attack” to slowly crush these guys.

Then, he would wait for the next batch of orcs to arrive.

Then, he used a skill that had yet to cool down.

Complete a cycle of monster farming.

If he used all the skills together, all the skills’ cooldowns would be over a minute. Even with the 20% cooldown reduction, it would still take more than 70 seconds.

After such a long time, the orcs that had been gathering at the watchtower and weren’t within the attack range of his skills would definitely take the opportunity to climb up the stairs and get to Lin Ye.

In the end, he still had to rely on his “skill imitation” and “normal attacks” to deal with the group of orcs.

Until his skills’ cooldown was over.

It was just… Very troublesome.

So, Lin Ye didn’t want to waste time studying fighting techniques with these low-level monsters. He summoned the White King, who had strong AoE attacks, and ordered him to guard the stairs. He was going to defend against 10,000 enemies.

He stood at the back and used whatever skills he had to help the White King clear the field.

When his mana ran out, Lin Ye would just use Clarity and Bright Mirror Water to add mana to himself.

He didn’t need to take any medicine or eat anything.

All relaxed and happy.

[Prompt: You have obtained 3,450 experience points by killing the orcs of the Shattered Stone Tribe. Under the influence of the Holy Kara’s “Sharpening Doctrine”, your regular teammates have obtained the same experience points!]

[Prompt: Your teammate killed a Night Elf and was affected by Holy Kara’s “Sharpening Doctrine”. You have gained 2,348 experience points!]

[Prompt: You have leveled up to level 16!]

“Eh?”

“I’ve leveled up?”

“Backpack open, take out the three crowns of wisdom!” He ordered.

Skill Panel, open. Use 3 crowns of wisdom to break through the Blessing of the Stars level 15 lock. Use mana to upgrade Blessing of the Stars to level 16.

[Prompt: You have broken through Blessing of the Stars’ level 15 lock. It can now be upgraded to level 20.]

[Prompt: “Blessing of the Stars” has failed to level up. You do not have enough mana. Please obtain more mana or enter a secret dungeon to obtain skill proficiency to level up the skill!]

Lin Ye was speechless.

Mana was a resource that could be consumed to quickly level up a skill. There were many sources for mana, and basically, every treasure chest opened at the end of a secret dungeon would have them. It was similar to basic items like the small red potion. Unless one was extremely unlucky, it was impossible to not get mana at all.

However, the higher the skill level, the more mana it needed to consume.

If it wasn’t for the Professional Alliance in Jiang City giving Lin Ye a lot of basic resources, including fates of meeting, fate of entanglement, mana, and so on…

Even if all of his skills broke through the level cap of level 10, they could only be raised to around level 10. He had to rely on clearing secret dungeons to obtain skill proficiency and getting new mana to continue raising his skills to level 15.

Or, he could go look for mana’s skill exp books.

Of course.

He could also buy mana from the market.

Many low-level Professionals would never break through the level lock and would only stay at a fixed highest level. Then, they would go to work in secret dungeons that they were familiar with and had a simple enough strategy. They would farm for resources such as equipment, skill books, equipment, and dog food forging stones, mana, and so on for those Professionals who needed to become stronger.

“Forget it,” he muttered to himself.

“Don’t be in a hurry to level up.”

“When I’m done with this dungeon, I’ll go look for skill experience books. I don’t really need equipment and skill books now anyway.”

“I’m just leveling up…”

After thinking about it, Lin Ye closed his bag and skill panel and focused on the Gravel Tribe orcs that were charging at him to die.

They fearlessly charged toward the top of the watchtower.

They were either hacked into pieces by the White King’s Ice and Fire Dual Swords, or their souls and bodies were corroded by reverse healing spells, each dying more miserably than the last.

Even to the extent that some unlucky orcs were smashed into meat patties by the missed catapults.

But he had never felt afraid.

Lin Ye liked these kinds of silly monsters who would line up to kill him.

He took a look at the system notification.

As expected.

The speed at which he gained exp was the fastest. Not only did he gain a lot of exp from killing orcs, but the frequency at which exp jumped was also the highest. There were dozens of exp appearing every second, just like malicious spam.

Su Mumu was in second place.

She had little Mumu, the all-rounded dog-headed military counselor, to command her, and also had an army of spirit souls to push through. In that kind of secret dungeon with accessible terrain, she was more efficient than anyone else in clearing it.

Naturally, their efficiency in grinding monsters and leveling up was much higher than other students.
