Based on the attributes of the four Knowledge Orbs that were displayed, David could tell that they were basically the abilities that those four mercenaries were best at.

However, to his surprise, there were Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency) and Longsword Mastery (99% Proficiency) Knowledge Orbs.

The Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb came from Captain Feroman, while the Longsword Mastery (99% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb came from Clark.

Even if David did not understand armorers, he safely guessed that Clark definitely had plenty of secrets. Now that Clark had died, those secrets were gone too.

However, through the two abilities, David could see how terrifying Galen was.

In front of Galen, the two strong armorers, who had Proficient-level combat abilities, were just babies who did not have the strength to fight back.

David couldn’t help but think of the word ‘extraordinary,’ which Captain Feroman had uttered before he died. Unfortunately, he could not finish his sentence, but that was another reason David had made more guesses about armorers.

“These are still a little far from my current abilities!” he muttered under his breath.

It had been a day since the last fusion of a Knowledge Orb, and he could now absorb and fuse new ones once again.

This time, he had many more options. The Knowledge Orbs encompassed the mastery of most of the common weapons used by the armorers. He was especially excited about the Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb now that he had two Level 2 longswords.

However, in the end, he decided to absorb and fuse the Sniper (20% Intermediate) Knowledge Orb for today. In terms of melee combat, he already had 83%-Intermediate Warhammer Mastery. Since he already had the ability to carry out close-range combat, he was extremely envious of those who had long-range attacking methods, like sniping.

A Sniper Armorer was safe, efficient, and powerful.

Sniper Armorers were usually far away from the battlefield and the bane of the existence of the enemy. However, they were also the guardian angels of their companions.

In David’s memory, his predecessor had a special affection for the Sniper Armorer. In David’s current opinion, the affection stemmed from his father Hans, who was a Sniper Armorer.

His predecessor’s inexplicable attitude towards Hans caused him to transfer the love he was supposed to have for his father towards the Sniper Armorer profession.

His predecessor originally wanted to test if he had a talent in sniping or not after he had been admitted to college. However, he was attacked before he got into college.

Besides, he did not have enough time to practice and train recently because he had been casually absorbing and fusing the Knowledge Orbs. Most of his time had been taken up by his practice of the Stormy Warhammer Technique.

David took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and started ordering the Shadow Servant to fuse the Sniper (20% Intermediate) Knowledge Orb into his body.

He immediately found himself at the edge of a battlefield, sprawled on top of a boulder. Right in front of him, there was an extremely long sniper rifle with a length of over four meters, most of which was the length of the barrel.

David, who had experienced several battles and fused a few Knowledge Orbs, had already become accustomed to the inability to control his body while still being able to feel every sensation of this body, including the judgment of the enemy and the analytical process.

On the battlefield, five armorers were forming into a battle formation, with two Defensive Armorers defending in the front with two large shields. They were constantly hitting the closest Spiked Chelae with their shields in order to close the distance.

There was a description of Spiked Chelae in David’s journal, stating that it had two claws and six tentacles with poisonous spikes on its back, which would allow it to attack at high speeds and at close range.

There were about five Spiked Chelae, and without the assistance of defensive members, the five armorers would definitely fail and be defeated by the Spiked Chelae in such a battle.

The only uncertain variable was the Sniper Armorer, who was lying on the boulder at a distance.

Behind the two Defensive Armorers, the two armorers who were holding onto warhammers jumped out of the defensive encirclement and launched explosive attacks on the Spiked Chelae. With David’s Warhammer Mastery, he judged and reckoned that their level was at 50% Intermediate Level or higher.

Unfortunately, the two armorers with warhammers could only manage to push back the two Spiked Chelae, not able to achieve any complete victory.
