All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 37: Tier Three Lord
Lu Cang spoke, and behind him, Ji Di tightened her grip on her Wooden Staff.
Although they hadn’t faced any real danger yet, they still maintained a serious attitude.
They had already been paid, after all.
The least they could do was take it seriously, right?
Inside the carriage, Ji Di had already begun Chanting the Slow Poison Skill.
And as the Defender, Gaidun was already standing at the carriage exit, ready to jump out and absorb damage at a moment’s notice.
On high alert, ready for action.
But in the end...
...nothing happened.
Lu Cang cast a Punching Pillar and an Ice Shuttle.
He tossed out two Magic spells.
And just like that, the scorpion was impaled, frozen into an ice sculpture, and deader than dead...
Uh.
’This kid...’
’His attack range is insane.’
Finally, just to be sure it wouldn’t play dead, Lu Cang added a Silent Wind Swarm for good measure.
’He really is cautious to a fault.’
In the end, it was once again Zhou Er who went over alone.
He happily trotted over to collect the loot.
As expected of the Harvest Moon, the haul was 2 gold and 12 silver coins.
The drop rate was indeed high.
So far, every Lord they had killed yielded extra rewards.
This time, the extra reward was also an Earth Crystal.
Lu Cang held the Earth Crystal in his hand, studying it.
’This Elemental Magic Crystal... Is it a guaranteed drop during the Harvest Moon?’
’Why does the drop rate feel so high?’
Scorpions are Earth and Poison Element Demons that can be found in Burrows and Poison Element Dungeons.
Naturally, they also have a high chance of appearing in scorpion-themed Dungeons.
Besides the Earth Crystal, there was also Poison Element loot, the kind all Poison Element Lords produce.
Poison Sacs, Poison Tails... anything with poison in it could be sold for a decent price.
After all, applying poison to a Weapon was the simplest way to boost damage, so such items were always in demand.
This was especially true for Archers. The lethality of a poisoned Arrow was significant, and firing Poison Arrows from the shadows was a dirty trick of the highest order.
...
After taking care of the scorpion, the last remaining Tier Two Lord was nearby.
Once again, they approached on the Dragon Rhinoceros.
Everyone remained on high alert as Lu Cang had instructed.
They meticulously went through the motions.
After getting within Casting Distance...
...it was still Lu Cang who ended it completely by tossing two Magic spells.
Forget a tough fight.
The three Lords had practically died the instant they laid eyes on Lu Cang.
Achieving such results, Lu Cang couldn’t help but reflect.
’It seems the only one who’s truly difficult to fight is Izparut.’
’I actually do have the strength to steamroll any enemy of the Same Tier.’
’Besides, if Izparut was really only Level 2... ’
’...he might not have been able to beat me.’
This thought restored the confidence that had been shattered by the brutal beating he’d taken from Izparut a while back.
...
After killing all the Tier Two Lords from the commission, only the one Tier Three Lord remained.
All four bosses were in different locations on the same plain, so traveling between them was quick.
Lu Cang gazed from afar at the creature’s tail, which was like a meteor hammer.
It was huge.
Its body was about the size of two trucks parked side by side...
BAM—
BAM!
And its thick, long, massive tail, covered in huge spherical spikes, was constantly whipping back and forth.
Every swing produced a massive sonic boom.
It was heavy, yet its tail was incredibly agile and possessed immense power.
The sight made Lu Cang gulp.
’With my feeble Constitution, if that tail so much as grazed me, I’d probably die instantly...’
So this was a Tier Three Demon.
Its thick, rough hide and massive body exuded a palpable sense of power.
Just by looking at it, you could tell it was on a completely different level from the Giant Snake before.
Hunting Lords so many times...
...made Lu Cang feel like he was playing Monster Hunter, just a version where he could use Magic.
"Go."
Lu Cang patted the Dragon Rhinoceros.
The Dragon Rhinoceros began to run, once again Sprinting toward the target.
But this time, before they even got within Casting Distance, the [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull] turned its head toward Lu Cang!
Upon seeing him, it charged straight at them!
Lu Cang’s mouth twitched slightly.
’Hey...’
’Does it have to be so sharp?’
The pressure from a Tier Three Lord was just different from a Tier Two.
Lu Cang thought to himself.
But his hands didn’t stop moving.
The moment he realized it intended to charge him, Lu Cang immediately began Casting!
RUMBLE—
Three layers of dense, massive walls rose up!
Blocking the creature’s path!
’I have to block it. Otherwise, if a body the size of two freight trucks slams into me, I’ll be black and blue all over.’
The distance between them was no longer great.
Almost in the next second.
The [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull] slammed headfirst into the Heavy Wall Lu Cang had created!
BOOM!
Countless cracks appeared on the sturdy Stone Wall.
However...
...it didn’t break through!
[Heavy Wall (Level: 195) — Unparalleled Hardness, Self-Repair, Rapid Generation, Extra Hardness Enhancement, Impact Absorption, Immense Width, Immense Height, Ultimate Hardness Enhancement]
The evolution of Lu Cang’s Stone Wall Technique was all about hardness.
And during his practice, he had always focused on strengthening the Heavy Wall’s hardness.
The reason for practicing in this direction was simple: it was one of his few defensive Magic spells.
Lu Cang had no lack of offensive power.
What he lacked were means of survival.
As such, he had actually practiced Heavy Wall, which could block enemy attacks, the most.
But when it came down to it, this was the first time Lu Cang had ever used Heavy Wall to block an enemy’s attack.
When he sparred with Izparut, the Heavy Wall was either brutally pierced by Iz or easily bypassed; it never worked, not even once.
And the Lord Demons he killed today were all instantly killed by Lu Cang before they even had a chance to attack the Heavy Wall.
So...
...the [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull] had truly become the first subject for testing the defensive hardness of Lu Cang’s Heavy Wall.
And this scene...
...left [Gaidun] on the carriage utterly speechless.
’You’ve gotta be kidding me, man?’
’He blocked it?’
’And with just the first wall?’
Lu Cang had erected three layers of Heavy Walls, stacked together like three slices of bread.
It hadn’t even shattered the first wall. It was nowhere near breaking through Lu Cang’s defense.
’He doesn’t need a Defender at all!’
BOOM!
A "Punching Pillar" rose!
A sharp pillar of earth instantly thrust toward the [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull]’s abdomen!
PSH PSH PSH!
Blood splattered everywhere—
The Earth Spike Skill was very useful in many situations.
This was because the abdomens of most Demons were soft, and for four-legged Demons, their bellies were often close to the ground.
Ordinary Warriors and Archers needed to create an opportunity or find the right moment to attack the abdomen.
Only a Mage... a Profession with such versatile combat methods, could use Magic like Earth Spike to attack directly from underground.
This was also why, although everyone complained about a Mage’s slow Casting, no one truly disliked having a Mage around.
The Effect of the Punching Pillar was exceptionally clear.
Lu Cang had also closed the distance to within 400 meters.
Impaled by the Punching Pillar, the [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull] was now struggling to move.
This was no ordinary Earth Spike.
Once it pierced an enemy’s body, the only way to remove it was to break the Punching Pillar.
But the hardness of a Punching Pillar was far greater than that of a normal Earth Spike... Breaking it would come at a heavy price.
And Lu Cang’s assault wouldn’t stop there.
’Curse Arrow.’
The massive wall cast a shadow, and within it, fifteen pitch-black Curse Arrows quietly formed.
PFFT!
PFFT-PFFT-PFFT-PFFT-PFFT—
The fifteen Curse Arrows pierced through the tough, thick hide as if it were water, embedding themselves inside the [Hammer-tailed Horned Bull]’s body.
