Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 660 - Sword Saint

Magisters possessed astonishing destructive might. Every guild treated them as an important strategic resource worth nurturing.

A lone Magister taking on tens of thousands of enemies wasn't something out of a fantasy. If a Magister were allowed to cast Forbidden Magic, they could easily wipe out entire armies.

Most AoE Forbidden Magic had target circle radiuses of at least 250 meters. Some especially powerful ones even went up as high as 500 meters. Nie Yan had once witnessed a Magister casting Forbidden Magic before in the previous timeline. At that time, he felt as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were being rent apart.

However, Forbidden Magic generally required high rank catalysts such as Grimoires and Mana Crystal Essence to cast. Not to mention the cast time was ridiculously long, taking at least 30 seconds to three minutes. Some even consisted of 10-minute long chants. There was a direct correlation between the cast time and the power of the Forbidden Magic.

Forbidden Magic was easily interrupted, especially by lightning fast Thieves who were specialized in ambushes. So, taking thorough precautions was crucial before attempting to cast Forbidden Magic.

Not long after Tang Yao became a Magister, Xie Yao reported that she had successfully advanced to a Holy Magister as well and was preparing to learn her first Forbidden Magic from the Mage Tower.

In terms of dealing with undead, Holy Magisters were much more powerful than ordinary Magisters.

Xie Yao had also finished earlier than expected. The several of them were incredibly powerful. So, it took them no time at all to wrap up their class advancement quests. Furthermore, they had brought back bountiful harvests with them.

Like this, there were three Master Class players in the game, and all of them were from Asskickers United.

Asskickers United had taken another step forward toward hegemony. With Magisters, they could sweep through the entire Viridian Empire.

News of Xie Yao and Tang Yao's successful advancement into Magisters was first announced in the Mage Association before rapidly disseminating through the rest of the playerbase.

Asskickers United's guild chat boiled over with excitement as everyone fervently discussed the Magister class. No one knew how powerful it was exactly, so they could only leave it up to wild speculation, and Nie Yan naturally didn't spoil.

The forums in every region of Conviction were also blowing up. Magisters and Shadow Dancers had become the hottest topic. Many players couldn't help but wonder which was stronger between the two.

Truthfully speaking, each class had their own strengths and weaknesses. If it were a one versus one, the Shadow Dancer would definitely have the advantage. Their unrivalled speed and ambush ability allowed them to easily cut down a Magister. However, most Magisters wouldn't simply wait for death to come. Their combat prowess was also quite formidable. Every Magister had a large number of blinks and teleports. If they were allowed even a little time to cast Forbidden Magic, let alone a single Shadow Dancer, even 100 would all lose their lives.

Nie Yan browsed the forums. Many players were debating over which was stronger, a Magister or Shadow Dancer? However, all their arguments were based on subjective opinions. After all, no one had truly witnessed the strength of the two classes yet, or else they would definitely be in the shock of their lives.

After Tang Yao and Xie Yao finished their class advancements, Asskickers United was bound to produce only more Master Class players. In the end, just how many would succeed in their class advancements?
