Chapter 592: Traditional Healer
Chapter 592: Traditional Healer
Yet it was just such a tiny silver needle.
It caused everyone’s expressions in the entire arena to freeze!
“This...”
“A silver needle!?”
“It was a silver needle!?”
The audience was astonished.
Even the national corps’ commanders and the level 100 powerhouses of the underground organizations couldn’t help but change their expressions!
The reason was that after seeing the silver needle, they subconsciously associated it with an extremely ancient profession unique to the Dragon Kingdom!
A traditional healer!!
The weapon of this profession was the silver needle!
It was said to be extremely ancient because even in the Dragon Kingdom today, it was nearly impossible to find a powerful traditional healer.
Most traditional healers, after changing professions, generally entered civilian hospitals for employment.
The reason for this was that the healing skills of this profession before the third tier were simply too slow.
Unlike a priest, who could heal fully with a single spell.
The traditional healer’s skills were mostly oriented towards gradual healing.
Only after the third tier did their healing output increase dramatically.
But for most job changers, choosing this profession was simply out of the question.
The entry barrier was just too high.
During the first and second tiers, no one would want to team up with you for dungeon raids!
Moreover...
To be honest.
Even after reaching the third tier, the healing output of a traditional healer wasn’t much better compared to other support classes.
In terms of healing output and various methods...
The real gap started from the fourth tier!
The traditional healer’s fourth tier: Miracle Healer.
It was the strongest support class globally!
Only after reaching the fourth tier could one fully bring out the strengths and advantages of this profession!
Especially the fourth-tier awakened passive ‘Revive the Dead, Reconnect the Bones,’ which allowed a traditional healer to bring someone back from the brink of death with just a silver needle without consuming any mana or using any skills.
Even if their original spirit had suffered damage, as long as it wasn’t completely shattered, it could be repaired!!
On a battlefield, where hundreds of injured needed recovery, a traditional healer could provide continuous group healing without pause.
One invisible silver needle after another would stabilize on each soldier, providing them with immense buffs.
The moment a soldier died, they could be immediately revived.
But here’s the problem.
How many ordinary job changers could reach the threshold of the fourth tier?
Almost none.
Even the children of noble families did not dare choose this profession, as even they could not guarantee they’d reach the fourth tier.
As a result, this unique profession became not only rare but also lacked top-tier talent in the Dragon Kingdom!
Of course...
While the early-stage healing output of this class was low, its combat capabilities were indeed stronger than other support classes.
A single silver needle had the effect of ignoring any defense or magic resistance.
At this point, some might think that the silver needle was too overpowered?
If you think that, you’d be wrong.
Though it ignored all defenses and magic resistance.
If the needle didn’t accurately hit the opponent’s acupoint, it wouldn’t inflict any damage.
Because of this mechanism, the combat pathway of this class was also extremely challenging.
At present.
No one expected to see the silver needle reappear from Ling Zhan.
And it accurately pierced through Macmillan’s fatal acupoint on his head.
From the markings on the Oni warrior, it was clear that...
The non-specialist lone figure had perfectly evaded Macmillan’s hammer strike right from the start.
Even though Macmillan’s class had extremely high reductions to true damage.
His combat style was all about powerful, wide swings, entirely disregarding his own flaws.
Because none of his previous opponents could ever defeat him instantly.
Even the Demon Arrival Saint Li Sheng...
Could not!
Macmillan used his injuries to stimulate his Oni bloodlust, unleashing even stronger attribute buffs.
However...
The one thing he should never have done...
Was to use this combat style against Ling Zhan.
Past opponents found it hard to kill him instantly, but Ling Zhan was not a ‘past opponent’!!
This was someone who, given the slightest opportunity, could kill instantly!
Hmm...
The hammer’s recoil was too large, and Ling Zhan easily dodged it with a step back, then used ‘Flash Step’ to close in.
The entire process took less than a single breath.
Then came a basic skill from the Fighter class: ‘Neck Snap.’
【Neck Snap (A+): Snap the target’s neck, causing damage while inducing severe stagger. 】
The A+ Neck Snap did not kill Macmillan instantly, but it caused him to enter a half-second of severe stagger.
During that half-second, a silver needle flew out from Ling Zhan’s sleeve, perfectly piercing the Oni’s fatal acupoint.
It pierced not only his life but also his original spirit.
Lastly, perhaps just in case, Ling Zhan used Neck Snap again, completely twisting Macmillan’s neck.
The death was not gruesome.
But it looked rather amusing.
Of course...
There was no need for sympathy for these heinous villains.
The innocent people who had died at their hands were countless.
The spectators only cheered at Macmillan’s death; how could they feel any pity?
“Macmillan! A good death!”
“Awesome! As expected of our Ling God, eliminating a major threat in one move!”
“Ling God seems to know some of the traditional healer’s needle arts, doesn’t he? Otherwise, how could he so precisely hit the fatal acupoint?”
“Indeed, because if the silver needle doesn’t hit an acupoint, it won’t cause any damage.”
“Damn! Ling God truly seems to be omnipotent! He knows all weapons, and now he’s showing off incredible needle skills that clearly took endless practice!”
“Who knows how much blood and sweat he’s shed behind the scenes? I heard that even on the day he won the double crown at the Global Warcraft Championship, he was still in the training room...”
“Damn it! No wonder Ling God is so strong. Some jealous losers claim he’s just relying on talent, but who else could stay so true to their initial resolve like him?”
“...”
The praise for Ling Zhan once again echoed in the arena.
The reserve members of the national corps looked at each other, their faces flushing with shame.
Hmm...
Quite a few of them had thought Ling Zhan had only come this far thanks to his talent.
Now, they felt ashamed to even lift their heads.
The clamor outside contrasted sharply with the deadly atmosphere inside the secret battlefield.
