The little pastor is taking care of the weirdness of divinity

Chapter 18 Real turn-based combat
【Time Sequencing】

This abnormal effect will automatically take effect during the battle in which Shabron participates - the actions of all creatures that were originally performed at the same time will instead occur in sequence.Time will be divided into a turn-based mode with one combat round every 6 seconds (1 rounds per minute).

In addition, in a non-combat state, he can also actively activate [Time Sequencing] and enter the turn-based mode, gaining endless thinking time, opportunities to make complex action decisions, and unlimited rights to speak!

"If I explain this ability in detail to others, they may be considered to be the gift of the 'Teacher of the Long River of Time' and the 'Connector of the Coexistence of the Past and the Future'. Well, the eternal light is the god of time." Xia Bron endured Can't stop thinking.

He waved his hands at the two constructs imprisoned in a slice of eternal time, grinning (they responded with two screeches—the worst they could do).

Then, the little priest slowly scanned the data bar, admiring the gains brought to him by the upgrade.

[Guide divine power (1/hour): One of the characteristics of priests is their ability to guide positive and negative energy.Once per hour, for no mana, you can channel positive energy as a standard action.Its most common use is to "turn undead". In addition, you can also choose the holy class feat to use the channeled divine energy slot of turning undead in other ways. 】

[Guide divine power and dispel undead creatures:...]

[Expertise +1]

In the still time, Chabron ignored the scarecrow's ferocious expression and slowly searched for expertise suitable for the current scene.

[The list of general expertise is loading...]

[Proficient in first attack: You are good at preemptive strikes in fierce battles.You are proficient in initiative (+4 on proficient checks). 】

"It's a more general expertise that you can choose if you're in doubt. But learning how to pre-emptively strike when the battle is already in the middle doesn't sound like a good idea."

The spirit-driven scarecrows could no longer bear the mutterings of their prey. They stretched out their long, rusty claws and tried to attack Chabron.

When their sharp claws were about to touch Chabron's face, the confinement of time took effect, and the last inch between the sharp blade and the cheek was like a chasm.

The flow of time does not allow trespassers.

In the sequence of time, a millimeter and a moment are the eternal difference.

[The list of priest profession specialties is loading...]

[The priest girl is praying...]

[Channel Divine Power·Dawn Dawn (Prerequisite: Sun Domain): By holding the Holy Emblem high, you consume 1 channel of divine power to create a sparkling burst of morning sun with yourself as the center...]

"Large-scale destructive magic should be the most practical means of attacking a group until you reach level 5 and master the third-level [Fireball Technique]. This is it."

After roughly appreciating the improvement brought to him by the upgrade, Xia Bron thought slowly:

"First of all, it's my turn now. Instantly cast [Healing Mantra] first."

Chabron whispered a syllable full of positive energy.

[Restore 6 points of HP]

【HP 14/19】

[Remaining Mana 0/6]

The flow of time seemed to be reversed. The blood on the young man's lower abdomen poured into his body. Although the wounds left by the sharp claws had not recovered as before, they changed from hideous and eye-catching to unbearable.

The two scarecrows just watched Chabran heal themselves, screamed twice, and continued to make scary expressions at him.

He waved his hands at the two ugly faces carved out of linen, showing a look of helplessness:
"I'm so sorry, it's still my turn."

"Light!" Chabron spat out one word.

Then, the scarecrows, saw the light, the light of dawn.

【Guide Divine Power·Dawn】

Vigorous and dazzling light waves surged out with Chabron as the center, forming a golden ball of light about 20 meters in diameter, completely engulfing the two ugly and ferocious scarecrows.

When the blazing sun dissipated, the scarecrow in front of Xia Bron had disappeared.Only cut pieces of wood, broken and blackened strips of cloth and scattered straw were left on the ground.

As for the other one... well, Chabron didn't bother to observe the injury status - anyway, the data showed that it lost a lot of blood.

"Uh, I'm done moving, should I just end the round like this?" Chabran thought about it, but he still refused to end the round.The galloping flow of time is frozen by human will.

Now, he has become more and more proficient in mastering the abnormality in himself.

At this time, Chabron saw a test animation appear in front of him, and the data panel also displayed:

[Perception skill test in progress...]

[Successful investigation]

He saw, yes, he saw, the words floating on the distant hillside, approaching Fengxi Town.

Chabron froze on the spot.His pupils tightened, he held his breath, and his heart jumped suddenly.

What he saw made him wonder if there was something wrong with his green eyes, which made him almost click [End Round] in his mind.

"It's really troublesome. I thought sending two scarecrows to deal with me was the limit."

There is a person approaching in the blind spot behind the hillside.

He just poked his head out, and only his hair could be seen from Chabran's perspective.Because of the "time pause" caused by the turn-based system, he needs to wait until the next round to get out.

However, the words "professional level" above his head have already been revealed——

【Level 16 Warrior】

A high-ranking warrior who may be ranked high in the entire Western Continent is approaching Chabron.

　As a turn-based chess game similar to games such as "Divinity Original Sin", "Baldur's Gate 3", and "Dungeons and Dragons", if there are too many units acting on the field at the same time, "Nightfall" allows players to open Accelerator key, so that similar units and low-level units can be settled quickly.

　　(Instead of asking the player to watch the actions of every miscellaneous soldier on the battlefield and wait half an hour before making a round.)
