Goblin Dependency-Chapter 268 - 143: Dissipation of Dark Clouds_2

Remarks:

"Space... is twisting, time... will also freeze, I... witness eternity."

——Star Track Weaver·Era·Ancient Time Dragon·Zachariah

...

Having obtained the ability for just a few dozen minutes, Xia Nan had not yet fully grasped the function of the specialty [Heart-drawing Vision], but he attempted to use it in combat.

As for the specific effects...

He found it hard to describe.

He only felt that under the peculiar black-and-white perspective before him, the gravitational ripples in space became much clearer, making the use of [Gravity Control] more effortless and efficient.

With a gentle downward press of the sword tip, the surrounding Green-skinned Goblins howled and knelt down.

[Vortex Slash]!

The iron-gray arc light flashed fleetingly.

Fragments of limbs and severed heads flew up accordingly.

As he pondered, a layer of ochre red light suddenly covered the surface of the Beheading Longsword in Xia Nan’s hand.

The hue was similar to the "Deflection Field" of the [Dead Line] ring, but the energy itself was more condensed, looking like some kind of constantly changing flowing rune.

This was the only Professional Combat Skill granted to him after getting the job as "Fallen Blade Hunting":

[Gravity Etching].

Unlike the previous two specialties, its capability effect seemed straightforward and easy to understand.

——Dealing field damage in attacks.

3/3 (can be used continuously in a daily state 3 times), recharges once every six hours.

"Boom!"

The sword blade tore through the goblin’s fragile flesh, and the red light condensed like runes on the sword surface suddenly exploded.

To test the combat skill, Xia Nan intentionally lowered the position where the blade struck, from the original neck to the waist and abdomen.

With the effect of [Gravity Etching], the ochre red field energy burst open like a miniature firework, almost instantly devouring the goblin’s pelvis, chest, abdomen, and half a shoulder.

Only the head and limbs were left to shatter open with the energy wave, like broken toy building blocks thrown away carelessly.

"Hmm... Single-target damage, quite effective"

Xia Nan muttered to himself.

The specific killing capability of [Gravity Etching] could not be fully ascertained just by these weak goblins in front of him, naturally.

But even that one strike made him initially assess the power of this combat skill, which was not much weaker than [Vortex Slash] trained to Level 5.

Of course, in comparison, the latter can be used indefinitely as long as stamina permits and can launch large-scale attacks.

While the former has a restriction of three uses.

After using it up at once, he has to wait eighteen hours to fully recharge it.

"Consider it a small trump card that can be frequently used in combat."

Thinking this in his mind, a flash of insight suddenly crossed his thoughts.

Recalling the small technique of combining and alternating [Teeth Hunting] with [Vortex Slash]...

The effect of [Gravity Etching] itself is merely to add damage during attacks, with no conflict with [Vortex Slash], or even [Teeth Hunting].

Doesn’t this mean it can also be combined with the other two combat skills, "1+1+1", to instantly unleash the power of all three combat skills?

Xia Nan had already committed this idea to memory.

His body moved slightly, the howl of wolves echoed in the air, and then quickly dissipated.

He glanced at the villagers not far away and then scanned the nearby numerous goblins.

He dismissed the thought of trying it on the spot.

After all, he had just obtained his Professional Level, and he was still unfamiliar with the core ability [Gravity Control] of the profession.

If combining the three combat skills resulted in some unexpected changes, accidentally injuring villagers or affecting the current plan to clear the remaining goblins, causing unexpected situations in the field, it would not be good.

Being cautious, there is no rush to test and train when returning to River Valley Town.

With his lively thoughts slightly reined in, the heart that had been ecstatic due to becoming a professional gradually returned to calmness.

"Ssshhk."

The longsword in his hand had sliced through once again.

Blood spurted.

In front of him were three goblin heads spinning off the shoulders, bald and bare.

...

...

The dark clouds swirled and churned, while the edges appeared slightly fluffy, letting a few streaks of bright golden sunlight seep through.

The silver-white curtain of rain that enveloped the heavens and earth was sparse and scattered, the rain drizzling down no longer with the previous pouring madness and clearly about to cease completely.

The battle did not last very long.

Having attained the Professional Level, being promoted to [Fallen Blade Hunting], even if just the most basic "Level 1".

Chopping off a goblin head was no more difficult than kicking a stray dog on the roadside to death.

[Vortex Slash], [Teeth Hunting], [Gravity Control]...

No longer thinking about conserving strength to test new abilities, the focused-on-slaughter Xia Nan was like a green-skinned harvesting machine.

No single goblin could survive under his sword light for over two seconds.

Wherever he went, only fragments of goblin flesh and blood remained scattered.

Sweeping and clearing,

each house, each grass shelter was thoroughly checked to ensure nothing was overlooked.

In just dozens of minutes, the entire Cui Xi Village no longer saw a single green skin.

"Tsk tsk... Is this what a professional is?"

Abi, holding a blood-soaked bag filled with goblin ears, looked toward the fifty-foot radius cleared area ahead completely flattened.

He was so shocked that his mouth could hardly close.

Even Adeline, wrapped head to toe in bandages next to him, couldn’t help but click her tongue in surprise at the scene in front of her.

She had been in River Valley Town for so many years; to say she had never seen a professional was, of course, not possible.

In fact, the White Sparrow Tavern next to the Adventurer Association, nearly every evening, would see senior adventurers suspected of having Professional Level inside boasting and chatting.

However, for the low level adventurers in the town, it was another circle they could see but could never touch.

Adeline, who had always only taken tasks related to goblins, had never formed a team with a professional.

Therefore, although she had heard others talk about the powerful performances of these people, she had never truly witnessed them.

Unexpectedly, today, in this seemingly ordinary mission, "professional" appeared before her eyes in this manner.

A complex expression emerged on the face stained with goblin blood, turning her head involuntarily to look at Xia Nan, who was still wiping his longsword on the other side.

With such a commotion and the changes on his body being so clear,

Xia Nan had not hidden from the two the fact that he became a professional during the battle.

Otherwise, it could not explain why he, who was quite pathetic under the red haired Bear Goblin attack earlier and just barely holding on, reversed the situation and crushed the opponent’s head in a matter of seconds.

Actually, there was nothing to hide; he was not the novel protagonist from his previous life, feared by various forces, needing to conceal strength to handle any sudden dangers.

When they return to River Valley Town, he might even have to ask Adeline about some information on professionals and the Association Second Floor.

Of course, he did not mention some specific details of the fight to the two.

For example... the strange device, a [Destiny Coin] suddenly appearing in the center of the battlefield, helping him upgrade [Gravity Compression], previously progressing slowly, to [Gravity Control]——

"Titan Umbilical Cord" II type - Gravity Core.

Thinking of this, Xia Nan recalled the hurried glance he had due to high concentration during battle, which inadvertently triggered the item info panel.

"Superconducting Ring, Curvature Parameters, Space-Time Continuity, Captain..."

These strange words were clearly not supposed to appear in his impression of this fantasy world.

Recalling the Gravity Core’s silver-white body, smooth surface with faint blue glow in its textures, that entirely different art style, exuding a strong tech feel.

Unknowingly, what flashed in Xia Nan’s mind was that dark cave occupied by a snake corpse, the dazzlingly golden gourd Drip Dew,

and the Wooden Sword [Green Pine] slung on his back, clearly from another world.
