[Holy Knight]?
He actually managed to get it—
Tang Zheng was first stunned, then a look of unexpected surprise appeared in his eyes.
He originally just had a try-it-out mentality. The jobs of the captains of the Paladin Order were not difficult to guess.
What interested Tang Zheng was nothing more than the mid-tier job [Holy Knight] and the [Exorcist], which he wasn't sure was low-tier or mid-tier.
Apart from the latter job being unique to Remedios, the [Holy Knight] job was not uncommon; Vice-Captain Gustavo in front of him also possessed it.
After a brief exchange.
Tang Zheng left under the pretense of needing to recover Mana after just finishing brewing potions, and leaned against Xiao Hei at the Evil Spirit Dog's location, appearing to rest.
In reality.
His attention was already on the Attribute Panel.
"Job change!"
Tang Zheng muttered inwardly. He had wanted to acquire this job for a long time, but he never had the opportunity before.
If it were a high-tier job, Tang Zheng wouldn't job change under everyone's eyes, but the small amount of attributes increased by an ordinary mid-tier job wouldn't be noticeable due to the suppression of the [Ninja] job.
Buzz—
Job change to [Holy Knight], requires prerequisite basic job [Paladin]
Prerequisite job already owned, job change successful!
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, with a faint holy light flashing from them.
...

Looking at the information displayed for [Holy Knight].
"Two passives? That's one more than I got from [Sword Saint] and [Shaman Instructor]."
Tang Zheng's eyes were calm, but he was still a little surprised. After checking all the information, a slight smile appeared on his face:
"As expected of a Paladin-type job, the passive abilities and the direction of stat increases are completely geared towards being a tank."
Among the job's abilities, the passive "Power of Faith" was the only one that caught his eye; the rest were fairly standard.
"Increasing by 1 level also increases the depth of the Experience Bar, from the original 410,000 to 460,000."
"With 2 million Experience Points, I have to level up the job first and then downgrade to wash away the [Sword Saint] job."
Tang Zheng thought with some heartache.
Back then, after raising [Sword Saint] to level 10, he triggered the High-Tier Job [Magic Swordsman].
Now that he has the basic job [Paladin], coupled with the Intermediate Job [Holy Knight], he should be able to trigger a High-Tier Job.
This is a normal job advancement trigger method.
He didn't dare to use it before, after all, there was no way to downgrade.
"It's still easier to explore with the traditional job advancement method." Tang Zheng thought to himself, and began to level up.
[Holy Knight Lv2]
[Experience Bar: 1702396/510000]
↓
[Holy Knight Lv3]
[Experience Bar: 1192396/560000]
↓
Comprehensive Level 51
[Holy Knight Lv4]
[Experience Bar: 562396/630000]
Skill Points: 72
"Oh?"
Tang Zheng noticed the depth of the Experience Bar. After leveling up to level 50, it changed from an increase of 50,000 per level to an increase of 70,000.
He continuously activated the Ninja's passive skill, "Stealth Aura Specialization," to quickly suppress the aura fluctuations after rapidly leveling up.
He raised his head.
The sky had completely darkened. The group did not light a fire, allowing the moonlight to shine on the Paladins' armor, emitting a cold, "White" light.
Seeing that no one had noticed the movements on his side, Tang Zheng was certain in his heart: "I didn't expect to have such good luck this time."
Acquiring a Job by touching a weapon is one of the methods Tang Zheng has mastered!
However, Tang Zheng rarely uses this method.
First, the Job acquired by touching a weapon is uncertain, and most likely it will be a basic Job.
Second, this method is too troublesome, far less convenient and stealthy than acquiring skills through Skill Points and then indirectly acquiring a Job.
The only advantage is that it can save Skill Points.
Unfortunately.
Genius directly converts all basic Jobs. Before mastering the skill of downgrading, Tang Zheng would not casually take on a mid-tier Job, so he rarely uses this method.
In fact, this is not the biggest problem.
The biggest difference between "Job acquisition by touching a weapon" and "Job acquisition by Skill Points" lies in the High-Tier Job!
Taking the Cursed Knight as an example.
"Job acquisition by touching a weapon" requires having a prerequisite Job to take on the role. There is no problem with mid-tier Jobs because Genius exists.
But High-Tier Jobs are not possible, as they lack the prerequisite mid-tier Job.
"Job acquisition by Skill Points" does not have this problem.
Due to the special circumstances of the Different World, it is not necessary to be like a game. You can learn skills first, and then acquire a Job through the skills, without the requirement of a prerequisite Job.
No fire was lit.
The area where the group was stationed was dark. Most Demi-humans can see normally in the dark, but humans do not have such ability.
Everyone present was not an ordinary person. With the help of the moonlight, they could still see things clearly at close range.
"Black" Pabel, as the only archer who could maintain vision at night, was specifically responsible for night watch.
Tang Zheng's team, Go Gin, and "Red" Orland, gathered together and sat on the ground, each holding a water bag and eating some hard bread.
"We haven't encountered a single Undead yet. It's really strange."
"Red" Orland placed his bull-horned helmet on his knees, squeezed the water bag and took a big gulp of water, wondering.
"This instead indicates a bad thing," Tang Zheng said softly.
"What do you mean?"
"Red" Orland's face, like a rock that has been weathered for many years, showed a puzzled expression.
Go Gin's expression was serious.
"This indicates that the massive group of Undead is gathering together." Tang Zheng swallowed the bread in his mouth, speaking unhurriedly.
"Yo~"
Just then, light footsteps came from behind.
Clementine, wrapped in a black robe, strode over with a cheerful smile on her face: "Hi, little brother, Ogre, big beard, Demi-human girl, and... well, never mind."
Clementine smiled, her eyes narrowed as she scanned everyone, casually giving them nicknames as she greeted them. When her gaze finally landed on Anri, she simply skipped over her.
"Hey, hey!"
"Red" Orland looked up in dissatisfaction, his thick beard and eyebrows seeming even more prominent, his face revealing a wild aura:
"I don't like being given nicknames casually."
"Is that so, Big Beard?"
Clementine grinned, ignoring "Red" Orland and sitting down directly next to Tang Zheng. She sniffed the air, then turned her head:
"Little brother, the scent on you seems to have gotten a bit stronger."
"Is that so?"
Tang Zheng continued to take a bite of his bread, responding calmly, "Perhaps it's because I haven't showered."
"Ahahaha!"
"Red" Orland couldn't help but laugh at this response.
Clementine looked at "Red" Orland unhappily: "Want to fight?"
"Sure."
A rough, unyielding voice responded.
Hiss—!
An ear-piercing wail suddenly came from overhead.
Then, the boundary Magic deployed on the periphery was triggered, emitting a red glow that was exceptionally conspicuous in the night.
Almost at the same time!
"Enemy attack!!" "Black" Pabel's roar rang out.
Boom!
The air was pierced.
A volley of arrows emitting "White" light flew into the sky, seeming to collide with some kind of creature, resulting in a muffled thud.
Everyone reacted immediately!
"Holy Light!"
"...!"
"Holy Light!"
Several Magic Caster of the Shrine Priest Order simultaneously cast spells.
A gentle and not dazzling holy "White" light suddenly illuminated the night, instantly lighting up the entire area.
Even the Demon Creatures in the sky could be seen clearly.
They were Skeleton Vultures, low-level Undead whose entire bodies were composed of bones, with sparse, pale white feathers on their necks, and possessing the ability of "Flight".
The number was as high as a hundred!
This group of Skeleton Vultures had been flying at high altitude, so they were not discovered until they reached the top of everyone's heads.
The range and power of "Holy Light" were limited, so it could not affect the Skeleton Vultures hovering in the sky.
Puff—puff—
Perhaps due to the influence of "Holy Light", a large area of wriggling appeared on the originally calm ground, and white bone claws or rotten bodies crawled out from the ground.
Looking around, Undead constantly emerged from all directions.
"Paladin Order, be on guard!" Remedios shouted, holding her Holy Sword.
"Shrine Priest Order! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Quartet followed closely and issued instructions.
"Attack, eliminate these filthy fellows!" Captain Nigun was even more impolite.
In an instant!
Streams of white holy light surged continuously, and a full 280 Second Tier Guardian Angels were summoned.
The white, holy light re-illuminated the night that had just dimmed after the "Holy Light" dissipated, and each Guardian Angel was like a pillar of light.
Looking at it, there was a sense of inexplicable shock!
Like the Shrine Priest Order, the [Sunlight Scripture] did not summon Third Tier angels, but instead summoned Guardian Angels, which consumed less Mana.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The 280 Guardian Angels densely scattered and flew out, attacking the Undead that crawled out of the ground, and some of them flew straight into the sky to fight with the Skeleton Vultures.
Tang Zheng stood up, watching the Undead fighting with the angels around him: "They are all ordinary Undead, not very strong."
"Everyone, watch your feet, there may be Undead emerging from the ground."
Tang Zheng reminded.
The others also stood up and looked around warily.
Clementine was even more excited, constantly looking around, seemingly searching for an enemy that interested her.
However!
The imagined difficult battle did not appear. The number of Undead was not too large, and there were only five or six hundred or so, including the Skeleton Vultures flying in the sky.
Under the attacks of Guardian Angels with higher strength and restraining effects, these low-level Undead were completely wiped out in less than 10 minutes.
Some of this time was wasted on the Undead being too scattered!
"How boring."
Clementine rested her arms behind her head and said boredly.
"These Undead are so weak."
"I feel like I could kill them with one sword!"
"That's right, it doesn't seem difficult at all."
"Ha, if it's just a large number, even if there are tens of thousands of Undead of this level, it's enough to deal with."
"..."
Soft discussions arose from various places from time to time.
The unexpectedly easy situation gave everyone with tense nerves a strange sense of disbelief, as if they hadn't expected this mission, which might have been a certain death, to be so easy.
However, some people had very serious expressions!
Quartet's eyes flickered, and her nostrils were slightly wrinkled. Her light cyan pupils reflected a dangerous light: "Those Skeleton Vultures—are being controlled!"
On the other side,
Tang Zheng noticed the Undead being quickly cleared away, glanced at the Guardian Angels floating in the air and patrolling, and a trace of realization flashed across his face.
"So that's it, is that what they plan to do!"
"Dangerous!"
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, realizing something, and he looked up to meet Quartet's gaze.
The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long!
About an hour later, the originally calm ground vibrated again, and the hissing sound of Skeleton Vultures flying echoed in the sky above.
This time, there were more Undead, and as soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the crowd like black shadows.
And in this hour, the Guardian Angels summoned by the Shrine Priest Magic Casters had already dissipated.
The duration of normal summons cannot exceed one hour.
"Humph!"
Captain Nigun snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disgust and killing intent towards the Undead: "Offer your faith to God!"
The members of the Sunlight Scripture all made simple prayer movements, and sacred Mana fluctuations reappeared on everyone's bodies.
"Stop!"
"Wait!"
Quartet and Tang Zheng's voices sounded at the same time.
Everyone stopped, looking at the two in confusion.
"Lord Nigun, we absolutely cannot waste Mana now. The enemy is using Undead to attack in waves, trying to deplete our Mana."
Quartet spoke seriously, her eyes turning to Tang Zheng: "Team Leader Tang, you must think so too, right?"
"That's right."
"Now it's not just about saving Mana, we also need to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise we'll just be constantly harassed by waves of Undead."
Tang Zheng's expression was equally serious: "We need to join up with the Demi-humans as soon as possible!"
