Chapter 35: Death Curse Priest, Evil Tongue · Imp
Chapter 35: Death Curse Priest, Evil Tongue · Imp
【Your champion-level imp has successfully used the Necromancer Conversion Certificate to advance to a hero unit, obtaining the rare profession: Death Curse Priest, and is officially renamed: Evil Tongue · Imp】
Qin Muye, after observing that the skill "Death Aura Emission" was derived from potential limitations, naturally used the Necromancer Conversion Certificate on him immediately. The champion level was indeed different, directly converting him into the rare profession of Death Curse Priest. However, his attributes seemed a bit lopsided.
This is a war mage-type hero who specializes in negative status effects, particularly of the death type.

"Whoa~" Qin Muye sucked in a breath. Although Evil Tongue had no attack or defense, his Strength was already 20 at level 1. Initially, Mo Xue had distributed his points evenly among attack, defense, and strength, making Evil Tongue an extremely specialized hero.
Whether it was his talents or skills, the goal was clear: to whittle down the enemy to death.
Regardless, just the Curse Aura and Death Curse Aura alone would be enough to make any first-tier unit struggle.
Combined with the morale-decreasing, attack-reducing, and defense-reducing spells, no matter how many units came tomorrow, they would be reduced to nothing.
"Good, good, good! I'll teach you the magic first."
Through Intermediate Academics, Qin Muye imparted all the magic to Evil Tongue. Evil Tongue had the skill Basic Death Understanding, which allowed him to use death magic arrows as a temporary main attacker. Additionally, his high Strength would allow him to heal more effectively.
Qin Muye also took the opportunity to learn the death magic spell Death Despair, which reduces enemy morale.
After handling the magic, Qin Muye equipped Evil Tongue with the Necromancer Robe, Bone Wand, and Basic Death Magic Book.
He planned to have Evil Tongue learn the Summoning Spell to help him recruit units.
As a support-oriented hero, Evil Tongue would not lead troops alone but would be accompanied by Mo Xue.
After all, Evil Tongue's small frame was really too weak, even weaker than Qin Muye's.
Because he was essentially a large mass of death and curse energy, and not a member of the Undead race but a normal life form, his physical constitution was inevitably weakened. This was likely the aftereffect of the Death Aura Emission.
Evil Tongue was even more afraid of decapitation tactics than Qin Muye. A Skeleton Warrior with 6 attack points could probably kill him with a single strike.
Therefore, he needed to equip Evil Tongue with basic defensive items to increase his defense. Otherwise, he could only serve as a mascot, standing behind Qin Muye, who would need to protect him when necessary.
His originally young and strong appearance had now become skin lax and hunched, looking like he was in his seventies or eighties.
"Thank you, Lord. With these spells, I won't need you to handle the wild monster siege tomorrow." Evil Tongue's voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been burned.
"This can wait. You should have had enough sleep by now. I'll teach you the 'Corpse Curse' spell, and you can try to train your own imp units like Mo Xue."
Qin Muye knew this was just the beginning. With Evil Tongue, he now had a mage unit.
Currently, Evil Tongue's basic attack was to release a ball of death and curse energy at the enemy. The effect was decent, reducing the enemy's attack and defense by 1 point each and causing death attribute magic damage, with a maximum of 10 layers. This could grow in the future.
However, the speed of the ball was a different story, being extremely slow. Qin Muye would need to find a way to help him with this, otherwise, the units he trained would likely be smaller versions of Evil Tongue.
For example, increasing the speed of the ball, converting it into a ray, or launching multiple balls at once to turn it into an area-of-effect attack.
All of this would depend on the "Corpse Curse" spell. Additionally, he still had 67 points in Knowledge to allocate, so he needed to get these matters settled quickly. After all, this was the fifth wave, and the wild monsters attacking would be even stronger, with hero units and fully equipped troops.
【You are explaining the techniques to Evil Tongue · Imp.】
During the explanation, Qin Muye also handed over the Basic Magic book to Evil Tongue. He needed this skill, and learning it would save him a choice.
In Qin Muye's eyes, this was a must-have skill, increasing magic damage, especially since Evil Tongue mainly focused on Strength. Currently, it only added 5%, but for Evil Tongue, this was not a small number.
With the Basic Death Understanding skill, the death magic arrow's power increased, dealing (20 × 11) + 20, or 240 points of death magic damage, and it only cost 4 mana points.
Even Mo Xue, whose magic arrow dealt (35 × 10) + 10, or 360 points of magic damage, was at level 7, while Evil Tongue was only at level 1. Additionally, Evil Tongue gained 10 points of Strength per level, with the most extreme stat allocation, not adding any points to attack, defense, or knowledge. After reaching level 2, Evil Tongue's death magic arrow damage would surpass Mo Xue's.
However, this was normal. Magic and warrior professions were different. Mo Xue was a balanced combat hero, capable of melee combat, self-buffs, and debuffs on enemies.
Qin Muye was confident sending Mo Xue out alone to clear the area, but he couldn't do the same with Evil Tongue. Evil Tongue needed sufficient protection, lacked attack and defense, and his units would receive less of a boost. Therefore, he could only serve as a support.
Attack and defense were crucial for leading troops, after all, this was the "Age of Lords" and not the "Age of Magic." Magic was just an auxiliary.
