Chapter 91: I've Tackled Sir Carenno's Talent (Please Subscribe!)

"He clearly said he was going to become a Level 4 professional, and now he's dead?!"

Looking at the head that remained open in death, Louis's lips twitched involuntarily.

The battle just now, from beginning to end, happened in the blink of an eye. The other powerful figures in Blackrock City are probably still on their way, let alone supporting Karenno.

[High-value corpse fragment detected. Proceed to collect its attributes?]

Suddenly, Louis heard a pleasant notification sound from his cheat system.

Huh? There are still attributes to collect even if only the head is left?

As expected of a powerful professional at level three, four, or even five? Their corpses are indeed valuable.

Louis's eyes suddenly lit up.

The sadness over Sir Karenno's sudden passing vanished instantly.

However, he was not blinded by the temptation that was so close at hand, but instead became even more cautious in examining his surroundings.

He wanted to find the whereabouts of the black-armored female swordswoman who killed Karenno.

Don't let them infiltrate the city and unleash that terrifying red chest cannon once more.

However, after searching around, he still couldn't find any trace of the woman in black armor; she seemed to have vanished without a trace.

The demonic tide outside the city was still some distance from the city walls, and it wouldn't be able to rush over for at least a minute or two.

Does that mean that woman in black armor can only unleash one powerful attack, and then she runs away, killing without any regard for the consequences?

After hesitating for less than a second, Louis gritted his teeth, resolutely held Sir Callenno's head in his arms, and immediately called his companions to head towards the Blackrock Legion.

Even the middle-aged officer with a broken leg was carried away by Louis, who hoisted him onto his shoulder.

In short, stay as far away from the main battlefield as possible.

Anyway, their mission wasn't to guard the city walls, so running away now wouldn't be considered a violation of military discipline.

Louis couldn't help but thank himself for taking on the task of guarding the sewers that morning.

During the time it took to strategically advance with Sir Calenno, the 15-second progress bar for looting attributes quickly finished, and a new notification sound appeared.

[You have picked up a fragment of the corpse of the Level 3 professional Demon Slayer Sword Saint. Attributes: Extraordinary +3, Intelligence +3. You have also gained the class talent "Breaking Army Sword Soul".]

Intelligence +3 — Is it because only Kalenno's head remains, and only the Intelligence attribute can be picked up?

Louis thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Immediately afterwards, his attention was completely drawn to this class talent called the Breaking Army Sword Soul.

[Broken Army Sword Soul: Greatly increases own damage in group battles.]

The talent description is very brief, but the effect is amazing.

The more enemies there are, the easier it is to fight, and the easier it is to unleash the "mowing down" mode. This is undoubtedly a powerful talent that is no less than "Undead Command" and "Magic Overload", but its application scenarios are somewhat limited.

Louis guessed that this must be the talent that Caleno gained when he changed his class to a Level 1 professional.

Level 2 and 3 class talents are too powerful for a level 1 professional to wield, but he can now use the passive class talent, Breaking Army Sword Soul, with ease.

"Could it be that the reason why Karenno was defeated so quickly is related to his class talent being good at group attacks?"

'

Louis secretly guessed.

By this time, they had run far enough away from the city wall that they slowed down.

"Louis, is this a gift you prepared for me?"

Suddenly, Nora's head, clad in a bird-beak mask, popped up in front of Louis, her pale yellow eyes staring intently at Carenno's head through the glass lenses.

The head of a level three professional—this is a high-grade undead material comparable to her teacher's remains, something that is extremely rare and hard to come by.

She brazenly reached out to take Carenno's head from Louis's hands.

While extending his hand, he said, "Louis, you are so kind. You are truly my only confidant."

Louis paused, realizing that when he took the head away, he had no intention of giving it to Nora as a gift.

However, since he had already collected all the attributes, there was no point in keeping the head, so he didn't correct it and handed it over without further ado.

However, just a second before Nora was about to touch Karenno's head, an old figure suddenly appeared in front of the group.

He was a bald, white-bearded sorcerer wrapped in a black robe.

Louis had seen him before during the ceremony to welcome the hero; he was Ignis, the third-level archmage from the capital.

The oppressive aura of a level-three peak professional instantly enveloped the entire sewer squad.

Nora's hand froze in mid-air, too afraid to move.

She seemed to know that her behavior was immoral.

Ignis slowly spoke: "I followed the lingering scent of Kalenno here, but I never imagined he would have become like this."

'

"Who could have killed him in such a short time?"

Seeing that Ignis didn't seem to care about her actions, Nora quickly withdrew her hand and pretended nothing had happened.

Louis dared not delay, and respectfully held Caleno's head, recounting what he had seen and heard on the city wall, emphasizing that his squad was not deserters, but busy carrying out the mission they were supposed to do.

Archmage Ignis frowned even more deeply and said, "He was killed by a single enemy?"

"Karenno possesses the Demon Slayer Sword Saint rank, and his awakened talent is also related to defense against demonic energy."

"His first class talent greatly enhanced his ability in group combat, and his second class talent greatly enhanced his ability in one-on-one combat—just what kind of demon could kill him in a single blow?"

Upon hearing Ignis's description of Caleno's abilities, Louis's previous speculations about the reasons for his defeat were clearly overturned.

So that man has special attacks against groups, single targets, and even demons?

No wonder the Blackrock City leadership unanimously decided to have him stationed at the front lines to defend against the first wave of the demonic tide.

This is a powerful being who, theoretically, could survive being caught in a tidal wave of demons and besieged by various powerful demons and monsters until rescue.

As a result, he perished very easily.

If it wasn't Karenno's cooking, then it can only mean that the woman in black armor was ridiculously strong.

"Lord Ignis, after I narrowly escaped the black-armored woman's area-of-effect attack, I immediately tried to find her, but to no avail."

Louis offered a cautious reminder.

Ignis nodded and said calmly, "I will repair the city walls as soon as possible and have all level 3, 1-star and above professionals from Blackrock City come to our aid to guard against that black-armored woman."

As he spoke, he began to walk towards the city wall.

From beginning to end, they never tried to take Caleno's head.

This made Nora's fingers twitch restlessly.

But just then, Ignis suddenly turned around and looked coldly at Nora: "What's with this outfit?"

Nora froze again.

But after realizing that the other party didn't want to take Kalenno's head, she became a little tougher: "That's how we necromancers are."

Ignis slammed his staff on the ground, exasperated, and said, "If you have talent, why choose a profession like necromancer? That's a profession where you deal with corpses and sewers all day long."

"How heartbroken your teacher would be to see you like that."

Nora was somewhat surprised and dissatisfied: "Your Excellency Archmage, what profession I choose should have nothing to do with you, right?"

"You can't just take charge of all the mages in Blackrock City just because you're the head of the Blackrock City Mage Association."

Ignis was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Strictly speaking, you should call me Martial Uncle."
