...
Scarlett prepares her self for another wave.
This time there are 5 enemies and they are Lvl. 6. There are 2 thieves, one warrior, One beserker and one Ranger.
[Undead Thief] Lvl. 6
HP: 340
[Undead Warrior] Lvl. 6
HP: 425
[Undead Berserker] Lvl. 6
HP: 400
[Undead Ranger] Lvl. 6
HP: 375
After careful consideration, I decide to get rid of the ranger first. I first went into stealth and and the 2 other thieves followed. Seeing this, I change my mind about taking care of the ranger. If I did that, I would probably die very quickly. I close my eyes and stretch my senses as far as I can. I hear one behind me and one to my side. I listen closely to their footsteps and realize that they are off. One of the is closer than the other. The one to my side is further away.
At this time I heard the sound of a blade whistling through the air. Know this was coming, I sidestep and avoid the first thief and turn to my left to meet the other thiefs dagger. The 2nd thief realized that they were seen through and tries to go into stealth but I don't let him.
Temple Strike. 98% Skill Completion. 7 second stun.
After stunning that thief, I turned to the 1st thief and met his dagger as well. Then I used Reverse Grip Backstab.
96% Skill Completion.
Critical Hit!
1 Hit Kill
The thief fell to the ground and dropped a leather chest piece. Even though i really needed it. I could only skip over it and turn to the stunned thief. At this point, it has only 3.5 seconds left till stun runs out but I am very merciful and kill it fast. This thief also dropped equipment.
Like last time, I run over the equipment. I go into stealth and get away fron the Berserker that rushed at me. After this decide to hit the ranger with a Temple Strike that stunned it for 5 seconds, then I followed up with a Ultimate Skill.
Cutthroat, 96% skill completion.
Critical Hit.
The ranger dropped on to the ground and with him came a skill book and throwing knives.
[Blade Barrage] Lvl. 1
Deals 100% damage to everyone within 15 meters if the target area. 25% Chance to pierce armor and deal True Damage. Uses Throwing knives in inventory(3 every use). 1 minute cooldown.
The ranger also dropped 15 throwing knives.
I immediately learned it, picked up the throwing knives and entered stealth.
After taking out the ranger, the A.I. started playing smarter and the warrior and berserker were getting closer together. Fortunately, i arrived in time and stunned the berserker for 6 seconds and turned my attention warrior just in time to parry his sword.
I didn't move but I took 57 damage from it. Decided to use a kick on the warrior's jaw to stun it for 4 seconds and managed to kill the warrior with a full skill rotation. After that, I entered stealth once again because facing a berserker head on is no different from jumping into a sharks mouth.
After entering stealth, I waited for my cooldown on Temple Strike to refresh. After waiting 1 minute my cooldown refreshed and but i had 7 seconds of stealth left so I decided to rush at the berserker.
After getting close enough, I strike the berserker's temple and stunned it for 5 seconds and tried to quickly kill it before the stun ran out but the berserker did something I didn't expect.
[Rage]
Increases all attributes by 40% Removes all crowd control. Aura suppresses anyone within 5yds and increases stamina consumption. Increases life rating.
The berserker became half a size bigger and its aura radiated a heavy presure on me.
Feeling the change in the berserker, I quickly step back and feel its blade fly past my nose. I enter stealth and run away.
I look back at the undead berserker and I am slightly shocked.
[Undead Berserker] [Chieftan] Lvl.6
HP: 750
The Stream Chat:
Phoenix Wing: Did that undead berserker just evolve?
CrazyMage: Who pressed the "Evolve" button in the system manager?
DomTheGuru: Mobs can evolve?
CrazyMage: If she can solo a chieftain, I will eat dirt once a day for a week.
Phoenix Wing: Screeshotted.
President Blackburn: Printing out CrazyMage's chat log right now.
CrazyMage: F***...
...
After analyzing the situation, I decide to bait it into using a skill. I get run infront of the the berserk and the berserker prepares one of its skills.

Phoenix Wing: ^^^^^
DomTheGuru: ^^^^^
CrazyMage: Even the President wants her to beat the trial. He's even helping her.
JayThePvPGod: Would you make it this far? Its not like he is giving her access to the system.
