427: Death Knight

“Do you want to fuse the current Professional characteristics?”

The moment this prompt appeared, Gu Qinghan chose yes.

Immediately after, Gu Qinghan felt the words on his talent quickly blur.

“Current fused Professional count: 6. Fused into a brand new Professional.”

Gu Qinghan almost immediately checked the new Professional's skills, and then his heart rate quickened considerably.

“vitality: 51000”

“mana: 2550”

“Combat Power: 15300”

“Skill 1: Establish a soul contract with a combat partner, can summon or recall at any time, and assist in combat.”

“Skill 2: Consume 100 mana to integrate the mount's power into oneself, greatly increasing one's attributes and increasing vitality and mana recovery speed.”

“Skill 3: Throw a sharp Bone Short Spear. After hitting an enemy, it reduces the enemy's speed. Pulling it out will cause secondary damage.

One short spear is stored every 1 minute, with a maximum of 3.”

“Skill 4: Consume 200 mana to use a shield to absorb surrounding skills, dealing damage to enemies in a frontal cone area when released and applying a random poison effect.”

“Skill 5: Consume 50 mana to perform a rapid sprint. The longer the sprint distance, the higher the damage added to the next attack.”

“Skill 6: Consume 200 mana to crush the enemy's defense with the power of death, while knocking back the target and increasing the damage they take next.”

With a quick calculation, Gu Qinghan was thoroughly shocked.

These attributes did not include the Bone Armor, which meant that each Skeleton of this Professional would have 23300 Combat Power!

Such Combat Power seemed low, somewhat weak compared to existences like the Dragon Bear with hundreds of thousands of Combat Power.

However, these Skeletons could continually grow.

Not only through growth with each level up, but also with the bonuses brought by the Bone Armor.

Most importantly, this created Professional was almost perfect, except for a lack of magic damage!

It had crowd control, melee and ranged damage methods, and even defensive methods.

Even if there were any shortcomings in the future, Gu Qinghan could fuse more Professional skills by leveling up.

And at this very moment, the Professional Skeletons, which had only been used for distraction in the past short period, finally became a great weapon for Gu Qinghan once again.

Of course, finding mounts for these Skeletons was still somewhat difficult.

Their numbers were too great, over a hundred, and would even increase again upon entering the Burial Ground later.

Not to mention, Gu Qinghan still had Undead that he could grant Professions to.

“Mounts... preferably flying creatures...”

Gu Qinghan thought this, but then received a prompt:

“A new Professional has been successfully created. Please name the current Professional.”

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment. This new Professional not only fused the skills of these six Professions but also seemed to have power bonuses similar to his own.

He thought about it and finally decided on the name for this new Professional:

“Let's call them Death Knight. When they appear, they will surely bring death that will strike fear into enemies.”

With Gu Qinghan's naming, a brand new Professional, exclusive to Gu Qinghan, was officially created.

He summoned a Skeleton and granted it the Death Knight Professional.

Pieces of bone appeared on the Skeleton, quickly arming it.

The equipment on its body was very heavy, clearly indicating a Professional with excellent defensive capabilities.

The Death Knight held a shield in one hand and had three short spears on its back, but Gu Qinghan's attention was always on its main weapon.

It was a long spear, but the side of this long spear also had a structure similar to an axe.

Or rather, it was a weapon that combined the advantages of a long spear and an axe.

As the Bone Armor took effect, the people around also looked over with curious eyes.

Piao Jun observed for a few moments and was the first to speak:

“If I'm not mistaken, you've fused the Professional skills of those few people, haven't you?”

Gu Qinghan nodded. There was nothing to hide about that.

But Piao Jun immediately became spirited. He stepped forward and touched the very imposing Death Knight, then pointed at the few Professionals who had stayed behind and asked:

“Want to have another match? Let him send out the same number of Skeletons?”

Gu Qinghan had the same intention, and the Professionals all nodded.

Han Lie also wanted to participate, but Gu Qinghan stopped him:

“Don't go. Rest and recover from your injuries.

My Skeletons don't have mounts right now anyway, so let's have a non-cavalry duel.”

Han Lie thought about it and didn't insist.

He was very tired. Although most of his physical injuries had recovered, his mental fatigue persisted.

Gu Qinghan released four more Death Knights. Together with the first one, they entered the arena and quickly took their positions.

Immediately after, five Professionals also quickly entered the arena and launched their attacks first.

But very quickly, they realized something was wrong.

Because no matter which angle they charged from, the Death Knight on that side would immediately defend.

And when they wanted to pull back, those Death Knights would put away their main weapons and throw the short spears from their backs.

Except for Qin Yongshan, who was holding a shield, the remaining four Professionals dared not take the damage from these short spears head-on.

Yet, Qin Yongshan was not having an easy time either.

After they discovered that these Death Knights had incredibly strong defensive capabilities, they immediately changed their strategy.

After all, they were powerhouses of Whale Fall City, with very rich combat experience.

They hid behind Qin Yongshan, trying to let Qin Yongshan block the skills for them.

But at this moment, the Death Knights, who had been throwing short spears, suddenly raised their main weapons.

The uniquely shaped weapons were held level, shields upright in front of them, as they charged towards Qin Yongshan!

The first Death Knight crashed into Qin Yongshan's shield and was immediately bounced away.

But immediately after, the second, third, and even fourth ones slammed into him.

“These Skeletons are really evil!”

Qin Yongshan shouted, calling out to his teammates behind him.

Because he felt that with each impact, a huge force was trying to knock his shield away.

And from Gu Qinghan's perspective, he clearly saw that with each impact, the Death Knight would switch to using the axe blade to hack at the shield.

On the axe blade, there was a dense black aura, and it was this that was crushing the opponent's defense.

By the fourth time, Qin Yongshan finally couldn't hold on any longer. He reluctantly chose to release the accumulated damage in his shield.

But at this moment, the Death Knights that had been knocked away earlier surrounded him.

They held their shields in front of them, forming a semicircle facing Qin Yongshan.

It was at this time that Qin Yongshan's teammates behind him shouted:

“Our skills are ready! Get out of the way quickly!”

Qin Yongshan looked at the Death Knights' familiar movements and suddenly had a bad feeling.

He shouted loudly: “Don't do it! Don't do it!”

However, his shout came a little too late.
