Chapter 3: The Effect Of This Reversed Damage Is Simply…

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the reversed healing spell was cast on one of the wolves, killing it instantly with only 20 hp.

[Prompt: Inflicted 50 points of reverse damage. You have killed Wild Wolf! Gained 10 exp!]

At the same time, the other two wolves were already in front of Lin Ye.

They viciously bit Lin Ye's arm and used two of their most basic skills, bite and bleed.

[Bite: Active skill. Uses fangs to bite the target. Bleeding will be triggered after the hit. 10-second cooldown]

[Bleeding: Passive skill. After activation, it will consistently hurt the enemy within 3 seconds. No cooldown]

[Bite] attack encountered!

[Reversal!]

[Health points +20!]

[Bleeding] Effect encountered!

[Reversal!]

[Health points +2,+2,+2!]

Lin Ye was speechless, but a smile slowly crept onto his face.

'Let's go!'

This damage reversal effect was simply amazing!

'If I encounter an enemy that completely relies on skill output, wouldn't I be able to be bathed in holy light and stand against them without losing any Hp?'

Lin Ye thought while he threw a punch at the second wolf's snout.

The Wild Wolf's Hp increased to 6!

The monster jumped back in pain and put some distance between them. He looked at Lin Ye with a grimace.

'Hey, you do know how to dodge, huh, little guy?'

At this moment, the third Wolf bit at him again.

It didn't have any other damage skills, so this attack was just a normal attack. It couldn't be reversed to heal by the effect of reversal.

And so, Lin Ye's arm was hit by the Wild Wolf's attack.

[Hp - 7]

He returned the gesture politely and kicked the wolf in the stomach, dealing 9 points of damage.

'Hmm… When these wolves used [Bite], it caused 20 damage, normal attacks caused 7 damage, and [Bleeding] caused 6 damage.'

As expected, it was a strategic method for them to kill their prey in groups.

If they attack together, a group of three or four wolves can inflict much damage or even kill an average level 1 newbie on their first round of attack. 

Even if a player who chose a class with tremendous Hp were up against a pack, he would probably last two rounds, at most. 

After all… Even the average human's "Crowd Tactic" in the past was still terrifying to fight against…

Lin Ye didn't hold back after getting a general idea of the wild wolves' habits.

He used the martial arts skills he had practiced for many years and easily avoided the third wolf's follow-up attack. Like an unrivaled hero, he killed it with three punches and two kicks without any injuries.

Lin Ye then looked coldly at the second wolf.

The cooldown was over!

"Healing. Reversed!"

'Go!'

[Prompt: Inflicted 50 points of damage... Wild Wolf killed! Gain 10 exp!]

[Prompt: You have left combat mode!]

And just like that, Lin Ye easily demolished the three wolves.

He immediately deactivated his talent effect and waited for the 5 seconds cooldown before he cast a healing spell on himself to recover the lost HP.

At the same time, he cast a clarity spell to replenish his mana.

He was completely self-sufficient.

The mana-consuming mage next door will drool on his ability.

An average Priest's combat ability was extremely weak. Even though they had skills that could recover mana and health, they wouldn't be the ones "holding the banner" clearing the dungeon.

Basically, these skills are meant to be used to aid your teammates.

However, there are times when the Priest in a group will have to focus on keeping Hp and Mana while still dealing with the damage. 

If he was not careful, he might be drained from over mana consumption.

At the end of the day, although Priests were the "protector" in name and were fawned over by everyone, they were just tools for the other class to babysit.

If he had no teammates.

Then he would be useless.

Only Lin Ye's exceptional God-tier talent could make it shine and become a true protector.

After he recovered, Lin Ye continued to venture deeper into the forest. Along the way, he encountered several packs of level 1 Wild Wolves.

And as expected, they all became Lin Ye's exp.

[Prompt: You have reached Level 2! All attributes increased! Combat ability increased! (You have received 2 free attribute points!) (All learned skills proficiency increased!)]

[Upgrade: [Healing Spell] has been upgraded to Level 2!]

For priests, the amount of healing skills they could use was related to their Intelligence and Constitution attributes. The higher the value these two categories have, the more Hp he will receive.

So, the free attribute points were given to Intelligence Constitution first.

As for the other attributes, he would wait until he had additional free attribute points before considering investing in them. He would then become an all-rounded six-sided Priest.

As for skill proficiency… There was no other way to upgrade skill proficiency other than leveling up.

People would gain a small amount of proficiency by training their skills every day or releasing them often during battle.

If one could obtain the same skill book or a particular item to increase the skill level, one could obtain a large amount of proficiency points and quickly increase the corresponding skill level.

There was no need to elaborate on the effects of an upgraded skill. It would increase damage value, decrease cooldown time, decrease mana consumption, increase in effect, and yada yada.

For example, the healing skill that had just reached Level 2.

Its healing volume had increased.

[Healing Spell (Level 2): Cast on a single unit to summon life energy and recover 81 health points. Cooldown time: 5 seconds. Consumes 10 MP]

For every healing spell he casts, he would gain a total of 81 Hp, of which 75 points came from the level 2 skill's original value, and the other 6 points came from the additional Intelligence and Constitution bonus.

If Lin Ye continued to level up his healing skill and increase his Constitution and Intelligence, the amount of healing would continue to increase.

For the same reason, the 'real damage' that the reversal could cause would also increase.

There were also Mana points and Mana regeneration efficiency related to Intelligence, while Defense and Hp are related to Vitality. 

After leveling up, his confidence and courage also grew. He aggressively killed his way to the edge of the forest with ambition and zeal.

Tall cliffs surrounded this place, and a strange wall of air was blocking the way. There was no way for him to continue forward, and he would have to return to the starting point if….

He wasn't fortunate.

The final Boss of the Beginner's Dungeon was crouching in the area.

It was a white snowy Wolf King with a domineering aura. Its body was twice the size of an ordinary Wild Wolf. It was lying quietly on a huge black stone, surrounded by a dozen ordinary black wild wolves on the grass.

[Name: White Wolf King]

[Level: 5]

[Qualification: Silver ★★]

[Skills: bite, bleed, Call of the Wild, Claw Strike…]

[Description: The White Wolf King wanders the forest. It has a brutal nature and will hunt down any creature it sees. All the wolves in the forest are its subordinates and will follow its orders, tearing any enemy into pieces.]

It was a level 5 Boss creature with high stats, many skills, and a bunch of underlings to protect it.

'This... Will I be able to defeat it?'

If Lin Ye were just an ordinary Priest or any other combat class with average awakened talents, he definitely wouldn't dare to cause trouble with this Boss.

However, he had the Universe Reversal talent, which allowed him to ignore all damage skills and allow his enemies to heal him continuously.

There was no need to be afraid.

'Come, little wolf pups. Bite me as hard as you can. If you can make my health drop to half, I'll lose!'

'No?'

'Then I'm sorry!'

'Reversed Healing! Activate!'
