"Wow... This is way too realistic." Following the team into the grand hall, the Pig-headed Knight looked around and was deeply shaken by the solemn and eerie atmosphere.

It's unimaginable.

This towering hall was actually built deep in the mountains and was carved out bit by bit by the Earth Cave Spider using its mouth!

Seeing the Pig-headed Knight looking around, the Minotaur Warrior nervously reminded him.

"Bro, just act normally later, don't get marked by the NPC."

Upon hearing this, the Pig-headed Knight became displeased, casting a dissatisfied glance at the old bull.

"What do you mean act normally? Am I usually abnormal?"

The other players wore subtle expressions on their faces and distanced themselves slightly from him.

Not far away, "One Mouthful of Chemical Pool," who had just completed the consecration, emitted an excited screech, shouting "It's done" as he charged outside the grand hall with the two skeleton minions he had summoned, off to do who knows what.

That guy actually changed jobs to a Graveyard Monk!

Considering his usual gaming style, it makes sense for him to take the summoning route.

Having two scapegoats around is certainly better than giving heads away himself.

Retracting his gaze from the entrance of the grand hall, Yiye Zhiqu composed himself and walked towards the Main Priest who was watching him.

The Netherworld-colored light emitted from the Graveyard Mage Altar covered his head.

In an instant, he felt a special power flowing into his body, permeating his soul.

The sensation was hard to describe with words, as if the magic elements floating around him had become even closer.

As Yiye Zhiqu carefully felt the surging energy, the Main Priest, who stood at the altar's forefront, watched him expressionlessly and slowly spoke in a solemn hoarse voice.

"Player 'Yiye Zhiqu', are you willing to fight for the Lord Demon King with the Magic Wand in your hand, defending the glory of the Great Tomb..."

Yiye Zhiqu's expression was solemn as he respectfully nodded.

"I am willing."

The Main Priest nodded slowly. Taking a golden cup from the acolyte beside him, he scooped up a handful of clear liquid from the pool below the stone tablet.

He chanted an obscure and hard-to-understand spell as he extended his hands, pouring the cup's liquid onto Yiye Zhiqu's head.

The icy touch flowed through his skull, along his spine, and soaked through every bone.

To Yiye Zhiqu's surprise, as the icy sensation flowed through his chest, he suddenly felt a warm current emerging from the depths of his soul, quickly filling his entire body.

Unable to conceal his surprise, he raised the finger bones of his right hand, and with a thought, a wisp of flame sprang from his fingertips.

The blessing of the Mage profession can actually accelerate casting!

Realizing this, Yiye Zhiqu was shocked.

He had assumed the Mage profession only enhanced attribute values, but didn't expect it to improve his elemental affinity!

This wasn't an attribute written on the character panel but rather a hidden rule he discovered through long battles!

In this game, there exists an attribute that's not outwardly displayed; the higher this value, with other attributes unchanged, the faster the casting speed for the same spell!

As he marveled at his own transformation, the Main Priest standing below the altar smiled at him and said.

"The ritual is over, congratulations on completing your job change consecration..."

"From now on, you will fight for the glory of the Great Tomb as a proud Graveyard Mage."

"I hope you uphold the rules on the stone tablet and the vow you made before it; breaking it will trap you in an ever-falling abyss."

"The Lord Demon King will forever watch over you, until the end of time, when all perishes..."

"I will remember your teachings and uphold the creed until the end of time!" Holding back his excitement, Yiye Zhiqu left the altar, making way for the other players still in line.

Seeing Yiye Zhiqu passing by the queue, Hu Wan waiting in another line hurriedly grabbed him, eagerly asking.

"How does it feel? Any changes?"

Facing the expectant looks of the surrounding players, Yiye Zhiqu thought for a moment, nodded and said.

"The changes are quite significant; not only has my casting speed increased, but my intelligence attribute has also improved. If the strength of my character was 10 before, after the job change, it's 12... at least for me."

The surrounding players looked surprised, especially Hu Wan, who spoke enviously.

"A 20% strength increase?"

Yiye Zhiqu nodded.

"It's about right."

Faster casting not only means higher DPS but also shorter attack before and after times, reducing stiff pauses.

For someone with a close combat Mage role like him, that little casting speed enhancement is even more significant than attribute boosts.

Of course, if it's a stationary Mage in the little demon profession, the impact might not be as great.

Especially if focusing on spiritual magic, he thinks a job change to acolyte might even be better.

According to the official setting description, the acolyte's job blessing focuses on spiritual power enhancement, while the Mage focuses on intelligence attribute enhancement.

Though the recommended play style for the acolyte profession is summoning, it doesn't necessarily have to be played as summoning.

For example, inherently adept at spiritual attacks, the little demon is the most typical case; they can totally choose an acolyte to play as a Mage.
