The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 21: Light Mage

When Adam came into contact with the squirrel, he immediately swung his axe and tore apart the pitiful creature. At that moment, Adam had already entered the berserk mode and his strength had already been increased drastically.

Immediately after he was done with that, he immediately charged towards a tiger that was approaching them with steady steps. From the movements of the tiger, it was clear that it had already become a level one existence. But nevertheless, Adam cared less about that fact.

He swung the axe again with all of his strength. For berserkers, they didn't know what it was to hold back and neither would he have held back had he chosen another profession?

The tiger immediately felt that danger was descending upon it. For that reason, it tried taking a few steps back to evade the attack. But still, its speed was lacking and as a result, the axe managed to inflict a big wound on the rib of the tiger.

Roar!

The tiger was angered by this. It immediately swung its claws to attack Adam. But, the guy didn't even bother to block the attack that was headed to him.

Instead, he swung his axe once again. And at this moment, a red aura suddenly enveloped him and the axe that he was carrying. Even his eyes had slightly turned red in color. The ferociousness of his attacks increased with his emotions.

The tiger's claws that had not been blocked landed on Adam's chest. But, something that happened next surprised not only Henry and Sarah, but even the tiger was surprised when that happened.

The attack that was supposed to cause a lot of damage to Adam by creating a big wound, did...nothing. It was as if the power of the attack had been dissolved into nothingness. As for the sharp claws, they didn't even leave a single scratch on the red armor that was on Adam's body.

Before the tiger could react, Adam's attack arrived and landed on the tiger's side of the neck. The sharpness of the axe and the strength of Adam's blow immediately severed the head of the tiger from its body.

Thud!

Without even understanding what had happened, the tiger died with a grievance in its heart.

The moment that the tiger's life faded, the red aura that was around Adam suddenly increased in intensity. And at the same time, Adam who was already getting lost in his intent to battle was brought back to his senses.

Feeling the strength that was coursing through his muscles, Adam's eyes shone with excitement. This was something that he had been looking forward to all along. He could only stop being a burden to his brother only if he was strong enough.

He turned around and looked at Henry. When he looked at the wolf, he remembered that Henry could wield several professions at the same time, he immediately couldn't feel proud at all. Instead, he was even more determined to get stronger than ever.

At this moment, it was not just Adam that was determined to get stronger. Sarah had also felt the need to be stronger. For that reason, she used the crossbow and the arrows that had been provided to her by Henry to shoot at the targets from a distance.

She was surprised to find out that, after using the gun for a long time to target the apocalyptic creatures, her skills had improved. And for that reason, she was able to deal with the monsters easily.

Additionally, the crossbow that had been given to her by Henry contained much explosive power than that of a gun. And, without the heavy recoil that she always had to guard against, her attacks became swift.

The crossbow that had been given to her was just like a gun that used arrows as bullets. All that she had to do was to put into the crossbow ten small arrows that were about twenty centimeters in length, then, she would be able to shoot ten consecutive times.

With that, just within a short period of about ten minutes, she had managed to kill ten apocalyptic creatures. This was due to the fact that, as long as she hit a vital spot on the target, she would be able to kill it with a single shot.

The reason as to why she had taken a period of time to complete the ten kills was due to the fact that, even though the number of monsters that came over was quite high, they were not enough with the berserk Adam and Henry's wolf present.

The wolf that had been summoned by Henry was strong and not to be messed with. It had so much raw strength that, with just a few bites, the other apocalyptic creatures would be killed.

One had to know that, although the Storm wolf had an affinity with the wind, that was just an affinity but not the element that it possessed. For that reason, it was something that could only awaken during the time that it had grown stronger and gone past the Rank O limits.

During this time, Henry was simply observing the battlefield. His eyes were moving around, searching for anything which could bring any danger to them. At the same time, he was satisfied with the capabilities of the armor.

Even though he had trusted the system, he was indeed surprised that the armor was that strong that even a level 1 creature could not deal any damage to it. What was the best thing about the armor was the ability to absorb the energy of the attack that would have been launched.

That kind of armor was definitely the most suitable for someone like Adam. After all, during the time that he would be deep into the berserk mode, he would always ignore the matter of defending. That was the reason as to why he had been hurt several times previously.

At this moment, Henry shifted his gaze towards Sarah who was standing beside him. When he saw that she was staring blankly in front of her, he immediately knew that she had already reached the level of choosing a profession.

As for what profession she was going to choose, Henry didn't say anything and decided to wait for her to make her choice. Adam had already informed her about what to do when she killed ten monsters.

After slightly over three minutes, Sarah finally came back to her senses. She looked around and began killing the apocalyptic creatures. When he saw that, Henry immediately knocked Adam's head bringing him out of the berserk mode.

"Let Sarah start doing the most of the work. She has a total of one hour to do it, so that her profession can reach the best grading." Henry stated as he observed Sarah shot the arrows one after the other, each one of them hitting the target.

He was surprised by the talent that was showcased by Sarah. She was able to learn after just a few instructions from him during the time she was using the gun. And now that she was using a crossbow, her abilities had been raised to a higher level..

From the way she did things, he had the expectation that she was going to choose the archery profession. After all, her marksmanship was not to be underestimated.

So, the two of them accompanied Sarah as she killed monsters for a whole hour. The more she used the crossbow, the better and more efficient she was at killing the monsters.

Finally, as soon as the one-hour countdown period elapsed, a white light suddenly shone around her body. The light was both relaxing and gave a holy and peaceful aura. As the white light surrounded her, she looked ethereal.

Both Adam and Henry were dumbfounded when they saw that. The reason behind this was simple, they could tell just from the light that was surrounding her what profession she had chosen. But, what about archery? Weren't her archery skills going to be wasted if that was the case.

After Sarah was finally done with receiving the profession, she turned towards Adam and Henry. She saw them looking at her with strange gazes and she couldn't help but wonder what had happened that she had no idea of.

"What profession did you choose?" Henry asked after a moment of silence.

Sarah's heart skipped a beat when she heard the question. She wondered if Henry had some kind of expectation about what profession she had chosen.

Grabbing the helm of the lab coat that was still draped around her, she lowered her head and replied, "I chose the ma... mage profession. A... a light mage to be precise."

Henry was silent after she proved his prediction was wrong. Yes, she had abandoned the archery profession and selected the mage profession. But still, that was completely unexpected according to the skills that she possessed in archery. To say the least, Henry was a little disappointed. But still, there was nothing that he could do about that considering that she had already made her choice and there was no way that could be reversed.

"Come on. Why did you select a mage profession while you are so good when it comes to archery?" Adam asked as he looked at Sarah.

Sarah on the other hand could feel that Henry was disappointed by her choice. But still, if she was given a chance to go back in time, then, she would still make the same choice as the one that she had made, not changing it at all.

To Adam's question, she responded, "I chose the mage profession and the light affinity because I like being a doctor. It has always been my dream to be the best doctor in the world. As for archery and the skills that I know about using the guns, the reason as to why I trained them was simply because my father forced me to do that."
