Chapter 1530: Chapter 229: Red Calamity: Grand Opening Extravaganza!
War itself signifies the change of power, and chaos is the ladder of power.
From another perspective, this also heralds the process of “barbaric conquest of civilization” in the Material Realm.
The warlike barbaric invasion, after conquering civilization, is eroded by the other’s cultural traditions, and eventually turns around to become a cultural carrier of the other side.
Just like the powerful Calamity Demon Dragon defeated the weak and helpless Silver-Crowned Dragon, then accepted the allegiance of the Knights of the Round Table, and did not intend to punish the former profession left by the Silver-Crowned Dragon, but wanted to incorporate them all under its own command.
Except for those absolute fanatical followers of the “Authority” Path, for others… life hasn’t changed too much in essence.
Just as authority includes strength, war also includes authority—without sufficient power and prestige, it’s impossible to start or command a war. Therefore, the power to make people obey is also necessary, just that all those too weak, delayed abilities need to be modified—
Arthur doesn’t like the term “Mage”, or more precisely—he doesn’t like Merlin.
Thus, the profession of Legal Mage was changed to “Commander” by him.
The abilities to control others through law were returned by him, but now they no longer need to follow the law, and can control others at will.
The Red Calamity also additionally grants the commanders the power to provide group buffs and communicate through mind to command others. The promotion of this profession is completed at the Third Level, through cultivating the ability to multitask, one can advance to become a “Chief Commander”, gaining the ability to directly control others’ bodies.
Allies with lower energy levels than the commander can choose to voluntarily transfer their command rights to the commander, thus allowing a single commander to perfectly control multiple individuals, turning a group into a perfectly functioning “living monster.”
Once command rights are transferred, the owner of the body cannot return. This means the commander can manipulate them to execute dangerous tactical moves without fearing their resistance—undoubtedly a residue of “Authority” power.
The professions of “Light Cavalry” and “Sky Cavalry” have basically not changed. Just the designated mount “Gryphon” was liberated, allowing free choice of any Phantom Demon or Magical Beast as a mount.
The current profession was renamed “Knight” and “Grand Knight”—this advanced profession can be translated into other languages outside Avalon as “Great Knight” or “Crowned Knight.”
The Inspectors, on the other hand, were the last batch of Transcendents to complete transformation. But speaking of the last day, it’s actually just the third day… one day later than the other Transcendents.
—In terms of the work efficiency of the Pillar God, this is already quite astonishing.
It seems only a God like the Red Calamity, who was so fed up to directly seize the throne, would prepare their profession so earnestly, handling the mess left by the “predecessor.”
The Inspectors were transformed into “military police” by the Red Calamity, and the corresponding advanced profession Arbitrator became “Forbidden Guard.”
The “military police” possess abilities similar to the Inspectors—a strong body, tenacious spirit, resistance to control system abilities, and the ability to cast spells while wielding a sword.
However, what they use is not the commander’s system inclined towards boosting but a “Command Skill” very close to the Law Order System’s Law Magic. Through verbal fierce mental interference, they force the opponent to execute their commands, thus gaining an advantage in battle.
The Forbidden Guard, on this basis, gained a more powerful physique, swordsmanship, resistance to spells, and practical direct damage spells.
He also additionally came up with a universal “Soldier” profession. Defining its Third Level, Fourth Level, and Fifth Level advanced professions as “Lieutenant,” “School Officer,” and “General” respectively.
This is actually the warrior of the Path of Adaptation, or in other words, the “warrior” profession he originally wanted to create.
However, the Lord of Scalefeather has already seized the origins of the warrior from Supreme Heaven, and this transfer of the Source River power was agreed by the then Pillar God Silver-Crowned Dragon, so the Red Calamity could no longer construct the concept of “warrior.”
Therefore, he just skirted around it—using the Lord of Scalefeather’s warrior as a template, he cloned an inferior version called “Soldier”. This profession doesn’t have any unique spells or Source River traits, its only advantage is the talent to learn all “Weapons”. Besides, the threshold is low…as long as one is in “War”, they can take up this profession.
—To put it simply, as long as one gains “Military Merit” by killing in war, they can switch professions…and by accumulating “Military Merit”, they can be promoted to the simplest extraordinary profession. Just like “warrior,” it doesn’t require any talent to switch professions.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as a system where one can steadily level up by “gaining experience”!
It must be said, the brain of the Red Calamity indeed doesn’t work well.
The “Profession System” is a rather valuable system created by the Great Sage. The professional is different from the Heir—if the mental aptitude of an Heir changes, it not only hinders further progress but might also risk losing the powers they have acquired.
In contrast, professionals are the opposite—their own minds and characters are, in turn, influenced and shaped by the profession, affected by the path’s power.
