Although Alchemist is a production class, it provides a massive bonus to magic classes.
First of all, the base attributes it increases belong to magic classes, and the passive skill Precision is also extremely useful.
Not to mention the class skill Mana Surge, which greatly enhances the damage output of magic classes.
For magic classes, the more mana one has, the higher the output, because there is no concept of cooldown time for magic.
The more mana, the more magic one can use, and the destructive power naturally becomes stronger.
In Rowan’s memory, a member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the guild where Ainz Ooal Gown resides, possessed this class as their main class during the early days of the guild.
They held the title of “Grand Alchemist”.
Although the character Tabula Smaragdina did not appear in the plot, his traces were everywhere.
He participated in the early construction of the guild, and 20% of the guild’s traps were designed by him.
Albedo, who is practically the heroine, and her two sisters were also created by Tabula Smaragdina.
His damage output capability was definitely not low.
Although Grand Alchemist is a production class, it has powerful magical enhancement abilities.
After mastering the new class, Rowan’s level increased by one again, and his attributes changed to: [ Attribute Table ] [ Level: 9 ] [ Class: Healer (Rare lv5), Master Blacksmith (Advanced lv3), Grand Alchemist (Advanced lv1) ] [ Innate Ability: Class Evolver ] [ Karma: 0 (Neutral) ] [ HP: 115 (11.5%) ] [ MP: 95 (9.5%) ] [ Physical Attack: 95 (9.5%) ] [ Physical Defense: 115 (11.5%) ] [ Agility: 95 (9.5%) ] [ Magic Attack: 95 (9.5%) ] [ Magic Defense: 115 (11.5%) ] [ Comprehensive Resistance: 0 (0%) ] [ Specialization: 100 (10.0%) ] [ Skill Points: 16 ] [ EXP Bar: 112 / 10000 ] [ Passive Skills: Healing Storage (30 / 145), Limit Break, Craftsmans Heart, Energy Expansion, Precision ] [ Active Skills: Optimization (3 times/day), Degradation (3 times/day), Heart Forging Method (Tier 1), Overlimit Degradation (1 time/3 days), Extraction (Tier 1), Mana Infusion ] The attribute panel was much richer than before, but upon closer inspection, among the three classes, one was a support class and two were production classes; there wasn’t even a single proper damage-dealing class.
Although there were many skills, they were basically all support or production-type skills.
His combat power was truly not high; one could only say that the future was promising.
Three days passed in a flash.
Enfirea set off to return to the Royal Capital, and Rowan also prepared to depart.
His destination was E-Rantel.
E-Rantel was the territory of the kingdom’s Vaiself royal family, located in the southeast, with the Slane Theocracy to the south.
This city was not too far from Carne Village.
It was a fortress city in the south of the kingdom, with Tob Forest to the north and the Undead-infested Katze Plains to the southeast.
Here, one would never have to worry about not having monsters to hunt.
At the time of parting, Enri secretly stuffed five silver coins into Rowan’s hand.
“I heard that registering as an adventurer costs money.
Take this; although it’s not much, it’s the most money I can take out.” This…
Rowan felt that this money was a bit hot to handle.
“I also saved some money myself, this…” “Just take it.” Enri forcefully stuffed the money into Rowan’s hand.
Rowan’s expression was complex.
“Rowan, you must work hard to become an adventurer,” Enri said.
“Don’t worry, I will not only become an adventurer, but I will also become a legendary-level adventurer.” Rowan waved his hand and left this place, his second hometown.
…
The area around Carne Village was a high-risk zone, and the number of monsters here was the highest in the entire kingdom.
With Rowan’s current physical speed, he could reach E-Rantel in less than half a day.
However, before he had even walked halfway, Rowan was ambushed by a group of monsters.
Two huge Ogres and over a dozen Goblins rushed out.
[ Goblin (Monster) ] [ Level: 3 ] [ Karma: -50 ] [ Class: Goblin (lv3) ] [ Ogre (Monster) ] [ Level: 7 ] [ Karma: -100 ] [ Class: Ogre (lv7) ] Rowan drew his longsword, his expression grave.
Was the first battle since coming to this other world finally about to begin!
Goblins were easy enough to deal with; they were just small fry used for practice by new adventurers just starting out.
But Ogres were different; they belonged to a higher-ranking species of Goblin, and their strength was not weak.
Rowan’s current strength could barely be considered among the upper-middle tier of adventurers.
Facing many enemies, he was startled but not panicked.
Although he didn’t have any proper combat skills, his stats were high.
With one slash, it was like cutting through a block of tofu; the Goblin that rushed in front of him was split directly in two without any effort.
[ EXP + 40 ] Rowan’s eyes lit up.
Not bad; this EXP was worth twenty fish.
With his current attributes, killing a Goblin was even simpler than killing a fish; these monsters’ movements were like slow motion in his eyes.
The Ogre had already rushed to in front of him, raising its huge wooden club to smash down at him.
Ogres had very high strength and HP, but their agility was very low.
Rowan easily dodged, pressing his left hand onto its body.
Degradation!
The Ogre’s life energy was rapidly extracted, and a strange power invaded its body.
The Ogre’s body rapidly withered; in the blink of an eye, it became like an old man about to be buried—no, even worse, it was like an old man about to be buried who had also been starving for half a month.
Rowan let go, and this “dried monster” fell to the ground, motionless.
Its corpse was withered and fragile, covered in cracks.
When it fell to the ground, its body had already shattered, like a broken piece of porcelain.
What flowed out was not blood, but dark, foul-smelling impurities.
[ EXP + 500 ] Whoa, this guy’s EXP was not something a Goblin could compare to; it gave quite a lot.
However, seeing his EXP bar of over ten thousand, Rowan felt that this five hundred EXP wasn’t all that much.
Rowan glanced at the attribute panel; one Ogre actually provided ten points of energy, which was not bad.
The miserable state of their companion shocked the other monsters, but they still continued to rush toward Rowan.
Slash, slash, absorb!
Slash, slash, slash, chase them down and slash!
After absorbing the other Ogre to death, the Goblins realized something was wrong and wanted to run, but they couldn’t escape at all.
These guys soon died under Rowan’s sword.
Rowan cut off the tips of the Goblins’ left ears.
These could be exchanged for some money at the Adventurers Guild; although not much, they could barely be exchanged for a meal.
As for the two bizarre Ogre corpses, Rowan had no way to dispose of them for the time being, so he simply put them into his player inventory.
Anyway, the space was large enough, and he didn’t have anything to store right now, so using it to store corpses was most appropriate.
He would take them out and burn them when he had time later.
Unlike the Goblin corpses, these Ogres died in a bizarre way, which could easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
