Chapter 41: Chapter41-The All-Class Magus Class
John watched as his opponents drew closer and closer. Immediately, a large amount of fire element began gathering before his chest.
After much difficulty, the spell was finally prepared and ready to be released.
But at that moment, the space-type skills within his body suddenly stirred. The direction he had originally aimed at shifted on the spot, and the attack blasted into empty air.
John took a deep breath and chose to avoid the enemy’s momentum for the moment. He would first find a safe position before making plans.
However, the moment his body had moved only a few steps, the knight skills within him forcibly rooted him in place.
Under the conflict between the two skills, both activations failed.
Even worse, the Summoner’s domination chains and the necromancer’s soul contract inside his body began fighting for control over his summons at the same time.
Curse and purification, two naturally opposing forces, also began colliding back and forth deep within John’s Spirit.
Meanwhile, the twenty-seven failed challengers had already arrived before him.
John could only rely on his own attributes to forcefully fight them head-on.
In less than a few minutes, John’s HP abruptly hit rock bottom.
His body was torn into pieces by the projections of the twenty-seven failed challengers.
However, he had not died from being surrounded and killed by the enemies.
Instead, he had been forcibly ripped apart by the various skills clashing violently within his own body.
With a flash of white light, John’s figure revived at the center of the theater.
A system notification rang beside his ear. freeweɓnøvel.com
[You have experienced your first death!]
[Death will not end this trial. Failure itself is part of the trial.]
John looked at the twenty-seven failed challengers charging toward him once more, as well as the raging skill conflicts within his body.
He gritted his teeth and continued to endure.
A death cycle so long that it nearly numbed him began.
At first, he relied on his high attributes and various powerful skills with relatively minor conflicts to deal with the enemies.
However, under the cooperation of the twenty-seven failed challengers, he could not find a single weakness.
The moment a warrior suppressed him from the front, a ghost-like assassin would appear behind him in the next instant, stabbing toward his opening.
After he finally managed to dodge that, a long-range mage killing spell would arrive right before his face.
John forcibly maintained balance and summoned a portion of undead.
Yet before they could even survive for one second, they were purified by the priest in the distance.
Some were even directly seized by the enemy necromancer and defected on the spot.
Even the theater environment was transformed into a maze that trapped him by the alchemist.
No matter where John went, the astrologer could predict his weaknesses in advance and organize everyone to surround and attack him.
John was exhausted from defending himself and died again and again under the siege of the twenty-seven failed challengers.
Each time he died, he would readjust.
He did his best to ensure that the mistakes from his previous death would not appear again this time.
Gradually, John began to understand part of the essence.
The so-called All-Class Magus was not about activating all skills at the same time. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
It was about allowing every skill to appear precisely where it belonged.
For example, warrior and knight skills could help him stabilize his body and ensure that he would not be knocked down.
Mage and explosive skills, meanwhile, could perfectly take on the role of damage output and maximize his destructive power.
The Summoner’s domination chains and the undead contract could cooperate with each other.
The former served as the shell, while the latter served as the core.
Driven together, they could unleash 200% of the summoning effect.
The purification of priests and the power of the undead could not collide head-on at the same time.
Purification should be used to suppress the contamination caused by curses.
And when John activated the Wrath of Flames Stone, he could not use spatial abilities.
Otherwise, the explosion would backlash against him because of spatial turbulence.
John continued to die and revive again and again.
Time had already lost all meaning within this theater.
He had long forgotten how many times he had died.
The only thought left in his mind was to continuously balance the skills within his body and defeat his opponents.
Ten years, twenty years, fifty years...
Until nearly a hundred years passed.
John improved at an astonishing speed.
At the very beginning, he could only last a few breaths before being surrounded and killed.
Later, he was already able to fight the twenty-seven failed challengers for several days without dying.
John no longer pursued any single class as his core.
Instead, he rebuilt a central system that could adjust his priorities at any time.
Whenever he needed to withstand pressure from the front, he could instantly switch knight and warrior skills into the core.
When he needed to clear a wide area, he could instantly switch to mage and explosive skills for output.
When facing a siege from enemy Summoners and needing an army to resist them, John could freely arrange the Summoner’s domination chains on the outside and place the undead contract inside.
With both driving them together, he could summon an elite undead army that was powerful enough and completely obedient to him.
When his weakness was predicted, he would constantly switch between the dominant skills of different classes.
This made it impossible for the astrologer to capture a fixed line of fate, causing the enemy’s predictions to fail.
...
With a flash of white light, John revived once again.
At this moment, his eyes were as calm as still water.
The aura around him was incomparably stable.
There was no longer any trace of the chaotic conflicts from back then.
In the previous round of death, he had lasted for several months before the enemy finally found an opportunity to surround and kill him.
This time, he had completely mastered the balance of all class skills within his body.
"It’s time to crush all of you."
John looked at the twenty-seven incomparably familiar failed challenger projections charging toward him, and the corners of his lips curled upward.
Whoosh!
A figure of an assassin appeared from the shadow behind John.
Almost instantly, he switched into knight stance, and golden light erupted from his body.
Clang!
[-1,088!]
The assassin, whose attack had originally been enough to kill him instantly, was forcibly blocked under the enhancement of his knight skill.
Without the slightest hesitation, John activated Spatial Dislocation in the next instant, directly destroying the alchemy array that had just appeared beneath his feet.
Taking advantage of the gap after the enemy assassin was forced back, a burst of holy light erupted from John’s body.
The curse that had just appeared within him was instantly suppressed.
With a casual wave of his hand, a large number of elite undead surged forth, intercepting the enemy’s summoned army outside.
Under the operation of the undead contract, there was no possibility of the army betraying him.
After that, his figure became ghost-like as he rapidly approached the enemy mage and archer.
"Break!"
A burst of scorching heat erupted before John’s chest.
The enemy mage’s barrier could not stop him at all.
The barrier shattered.
John smashed down with a punch, accompanied by terrifying magical fluctuations that crashed into the center of the enemy formation.
[Lv. 200 Holy Mage Bochel Projection has been defeated!]
[Lv. 203 Divine Archer Laide Projection has been defeated!]
[Lv. 210 Saint Priest Leah Projection has been defeated!]
...
[Lv. 260 Spirit Summoner Morn Projection has been defeated!]
When the final failed challenger projection died beneath the force of John’s punch, the light pillars above the twenty-seven seats below finally went out.
From behind the theater stage, the background voice sounded once more.
"An All-Class Magus is not one who possesses all classes, but one who makes all classes obey their order.
You have been reborn."
In the next instant, the scene shattered like glass.
John’s consciousness rapidly returned.
...
When John opened his eyes again, he found that he was still standing above the black lake.
However, his consciousness still lingered within the assessment scene of the Trial of the First Seat.
John felt as if he had spent over a hundred years inside that scene.
But when he checked the game time, he discovered that only a few hours had passed.
Before he could sort out the dazed feeling caused by the time distortion, a series of notifications suddenly rang beside his ear.
