Mark Lin's heart jolted. The skeleton warriors formed a shield-like formation stacked like a human pyramid, firmly protecting him.
Meteor-like fireballs slammed onto the skeleton warriors, exploding into a dazzling shower of sparks.
Mark Lin was very clear about his own weakness.
His constitution was too poor. If he took a strong attack, a huge amount of damage would transfer to the skeleton warriors.
This would cause tremendous damage to them.
If the skeleton warriors were the ones taking the hits instead, the outcome would be completely different.
With their strong physique and extremely high defense,
the skeleton warriors could almost ignore such small damage.
Mark Lin stood behind the skeleton warriors, his gaze fixed on the orc team appearing ahead.
A group of Philin Orc mages wielded magic wands, unleashing rains of fire.
Numerous Philin Orc warriors charged forward, weapons swinging.
These monsters appeared silently, without any warning.
A smirk appeared at the corner of Mark Lin's mouth.
No matter how they appeared, as long as there was no need to wait for a respawn, that was good.
The mage monsters continued casting spells from behind; the endless fire rain didn't stop.
To ensure his own safety, Mark Lin ordered 10 skeletons to form a shield, blocking the mages' attacks.
At the same time, he sent out another 10 skeletons to confront the orc warriors.
"Skill!"
He issued the command in his mind, and red light instantly glowed in the hands of the skeleton warriors.
Violent Strike!
With the skeleton warriors' strength attribute reaching 5,000, the skill doubled their attack power.
The Philin Orc warriors were instantly slaughtered.
Mark Lin's palm glowed.
A thunderous roar filled the air.
Corpses exploded and spread wildly.
The Philin Orc warriors fell like ripened wheat.
In just a few seconds, over a hundred charging Philin Orc warriors were already dead.
Ten skeleton warriors darted like lightning toward the Philin Orc mages.
5,000 points of agility brought amazing speed.
With the huge attribute gap, the skeleton warriors already appeared as afterimages in Mark Lin's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, they crossed dozens of meters and appeared in front of the Philin Orc mages.
With a single slash, one mage after another was instantly killed.
The Philin Orc mages had much lower constitution than the warriors, making them easy targets for the skeleton warriors' swift kills.
The fire rain ceased, and calm returned once more.
Mark Lin was safe here, but in the Trial Tower control room, several examiners still stared wide-eyed.
Mark Lin's score paused only for about ten seconds before rocketing up again.
14,605 points — in less than ten seconds, his score jumped by 6,000 points.
This meant another 120 monsters had been slain by Mark Lin.
The results of these two waves spoke for themselves.
"This guy has AoE skills."
"This class is broken. The single-target skill is already overpowered; the AoE skill is just as crazy."
"Not only are the skills powerful, the summons are strong too."
"I think this class has surpassed legendary level. It can rival those few top classes."
"Not so fast. The level is still low; let's see what happens later."
Strong at low level doesn't guarantee strength at high level.
Weak at low level doesn't mean it won't be powerful later.
Some classes are useless until they unlock a certain god skill, then become irreplaceable.
There's a class that seems useless normally.
But once war breaks out, it's like a god among men.
All its skills are legion-wide AoE skills.
Having such a class in a legion doubles the legion's combat power.
Mark Lin didn't know what the examiners were thinking.
At that moment, he heard a rumble.
The entire ground trembled several times, like an earthquake.
The corpses shuddered and vanished, as if swallowed by the earth.
An invisible gas rose from the ground; the air thickened with the stench of blood and decay.
It made people want to vomit.
The sky darkened further, gloomier than before.
The oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.
"The second phase,"
Mark Lin looked up at the sky.
He seemed quite adapted to this atmosphere, showing no discomfort.
Perhaps it was related to his class.
The aura of death didn't bother him.
Only the increasing stench was unpleasant.
The ground tremors gradually ceased. Mark Lin had the skeleton warriors surround him and stay alert to the surroundings.
After a few seconds, footsteps sounded.
"They're here!"
Mark Lin thought silently.
A large number of monsters suddenly appeared all around.
The monsters came from all directions, grouped in squads of five.
[Philin Orc Fighter]
[Level: 16]
[Philin Orc Archer]
[Level: 16]
Each squad had a 3:2 ratio — three fighters and two archers.
Both fighters and archers were level 16.
At least 40 squads were spread nearby.
From a distance, Mark Lin looked as if he was surrounded.
After entering the second phase, not only did monster levels increase by one, their numbers also doubled.
Mark Lin was not worried.
For him, level 16 monsters were nothing.
Even without corpse explosions, just 20 skeleton warriors could take time to cut down all these guys.
He was thinking about another issue.
"At this difficulty, other classes will have a hard time passing the second phase."
"Even if they pass, it will take a lot of time."
The first phase's difficulty was not high in Mark Lin's eyes.
Most classes could pass with some effort.
The second phase was much harder — just adding one level and doubling the number of monsters was enough to multiply the difficulty.
On top of that, archers had appeared.
Archers were known as natural counters to mages.
This change would make most mage classes give up.
