Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

And the Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight, who had suffered a heavy blow, let out a furious roar. Following that, he raised the giant axe in his hand high with one hand, seemingly about to unleash some sort of devastating move.

But Rein leaped up from his warhorse and struck the Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight with a secret skill, the "Earth-splitting Hammer"!

Because the force of Rein kicking off was too great, and through the transmission of force through the stirrups, his warhorse instantly collapsed on the ground.

It couldn't be helped; as Rein's strength increased, ordinary warhorses were becoming increasingly unable to keep up with his power.

The Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight saw Rein's formidable approach and immediately swung the one-and-a-half-meter long metal axe handle horizontally, trying to block Rein's strike.

"Clang!!!"

Rein's secret skill, "Earth-splitting Hammer," used the flat head of the warhammer; when it struck the giant axe, it nearly bent the metal handle into a bow shape.

Although the material of the axe handle was extraordinary and could withstand Rein's mighty "Earth-splitting Hammer," the entire body of the Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight was sent flying into the soft forest ground due to Rein's overwhelming strength.

The Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight now had everything below his waist helplessly trapped in the earth.

Seeing this scene, Rudolph had been reaching into his chest to retrieve something, but he stopped.

After carefully observing the battle between Rein and the Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight, Rudolph withdrew his hand from his chest.

It seemed that there was no need to use his trump card yet.

This Rein...

had given me another surprise.

Is his combat power really this strong?

He truly is an excellent candidate for a future Punishment Knight!

No, I must try again later; such talent can't be missed by the church, Rudolph thought to himself.

As Rudolph pondered, the battle between Rein and the Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight was reaching its conclusion.

Rein used "Earth-splitting Hammer" to plant the Giant Axe Evil Spirit like a tree in the ground and, taking advantage of his opponent's inability to recover, twisted his waist and hips in a motion akin to throwing a hammer throw, swinging the warhammer high.

This time, he aimed the pointed end at the enemy, sweeping up from the ground. It was the Tokkal Hammer Technique's secret skill, "Rising Dragon Hammer"!

"Boom!!"

A sound akin to a watermelon being smashed by a stick abruptly resounded!

The Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight went from half-buried in the earth to rocketing into the air, suddenly taking flight, bringing with him a trail of dirt.

Rein's "Rising Dragon Hammer" had struck his opponent's chin, sinking the pointed end deep beneath the edge of the faceplate, hence the sound of shattering.

"Boom!!!"

The Giant Axe Evil Spirit Knight, after fluttering in the air for a few seconds, crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a piercing scream!

The next second, the swirling black mist that had been protecting him suddenly burst forth.

Then his towering body, as if hollowed out, collapsed, and his full set of black armor scattered all over the ground.

System prompt appeared:

[Your Tokkal Hammer Technique skill has improved, experience +243]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Transcendent) experience +81]

[Congratulations, your Knight (Transcendent) profession level has ascended!]

Originally, Rein's Knight (Transcendent) profession level was already at lv3 (476/500), so this successful level-up brought him up to lv4 (57/1000).

At the same time, Rein also received one Skill Point and one Attribute Point as level-up rewards.

At that moment, Rein, with sharp eyes, noticed a black crystal the size of a thumb in the remains of the Giant Axe Evil Spirit.

It immediately reminded him of the blood-red crystal that had once offered him a large number of experience points, so he picked it up as if by accident.

Sure enough, the system prompt sounded:

[Ding! Host detected to have obtained a demonic energy crystal, triggering profession change—Evil Spirit Knight!]

[Prerequisites for changing profession to Evil Spirit Knight are: 1. Official Knight; 2. Spirit 15 points or above; Current conditions met, yes/no to change profession to Evil Spirit Knight?]

-_-||

This was entirely unexpected!

Rein's expression immediately turned into that of an elderly man staring at his phone.jpg.

"The system is getting more and more absurd," Rein muttered to himself.

"Evil Spirit Knight, such a thing doesn't look like it's meant for normal people at all, maybe skip the prompt for this kind of profession change next time!"

Without hesitation, he chose no!

Then, a second system prompt sounded:

[Ding! Unknown absorbable energy detected, yes/no to absorb? (Note: After absorption, it can be converted to designated professional experience points.)]

Huh?

This is more like it!

This is the right way to use a demonic energy crystal, just absorb it!

Feeling elated, Rein quickly chose 'yes!'

The next second, the weird black energy within the demonic crystal, like a surging tide, rushed through Rein's arm, heading deeper into his body.

Just as before, it seemed like the system selectively absorbed the crystal's energy, and again, Rein felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Moreover, the entire absorption and conversion process was completed almost instantly.

[Ding! A total of 433 Transcendent experience points converted, please select Knight (Transcendent)/Wizard Apprentice (Transcendent)/Beast Tamer (Transcendent) for the increase.]

Seeing this, Rein pondered for a moment and then decided to add points to Beast Tamer (Transcendent).

The reason was quite simple; his current Beast Tamer (Transcendent) profession level was lv1 (12/100), and choosing to add points to Beast Tamer would allow him to directly ascend two levels.
