Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat - Chapter 733

Chapter 733: It’s Your Avatar’s Fault
The three hundred-plus members of Leo’s team had gathered around him, their solemn mood feeling more like a funeral procession for their fallen leader, Skyblade, than a simple farewell.

Yet, there was also a palpable sense of relief in the air.

“Screw all of you bastards…”

At first, Leo had listened with a smug, self-satisfied grin, basking in the attention.

But the longer it went on, the more he started to taste something off in their words.

This was just… wrong.

“You little shits,” he finally grumbled, cutting through the faux-eulogies. “From now on, don’t you dare go all-out on the DPS if I’m not there to tank for your reckless asses.”

With that, he stomped over to where Ethan was standing.

Ethan watched him approach, a knowing smirk on his face. The guy even looked a little misty-eyed. Ethan reached out and clapped him on the shoulder, then turned his gaze upwards toward the mountain peak.

“Slashblade! Meatball! Fraud! Dog! Whisper! Heaven’s Dawn! Let’s move out!” Ethan called.

The named players quickly assembled around him.

Leeroy’s in-game ID was ‘MyBrotherIsAFraud’, and his class was the hidden specialization ‘War-Stomper’ (a variant of the Weapon Master).

Ryan’s ID was ‘MyElderBrotherIsADog’, with the hidden class ‘Flame Soulbinder’ (a fire Mage variant).

Evelyn’s ID was ‘WhisperingFlora’, and she was a ‘Discipline Priest’.

When Leeroy and Ryan first created their characters, they’d gotten ridiculously lucky, landing these hidden classes right out of the gate. Back when Ethan first met them in-game, their fortune had nearly made his jaw hit the floor.

At least Evelyn’s class was standard-issue—just a regular Priest. Though, in her own quirky way, she’d chosen the notoriously difficult Discipline specialization.

With the named players gathered, plus SeraphWarrior, Moonbeam, and Skyblade, their ten-person raid team was set.

The party composition was as follows:

Healers (3): Restoration Druid – Kiara [Heaven’s Dawn], Discipline Priest – Evelyn [WhisperingFlora], Holy Priest – Victor [Slashblade].

Tank (1): Shield Tank – Leo [Skyblade].

Ranged Physical DPS (1): Marksman – Lyla [Moonbeam].

Ranged Magic DPS (2): Necromantic Summoner – Meatball [Meatball], Flame Soulbinder – Ryan [MyElderBrotherIsADog].

Melee DPS (2): Judicator – Williams [SeraphWarrior], War-Stomper – Leeroy [MyBrotherIsAFraud].

The Wildcard: Omni-Druid – Ethan [NotADruid].

Ethan scanned his roster. This wasn’t just a strong team; it was a brutally overpowered one. Four of the ten players had hidden specializations.

He himself, the Omni-Druid, was a case apart—he could tank, heal, sling spells from a distance, or sneak in for melee strikes.

Williams’s ‘Judicator’ hidden class hadn’t been anything special early on. In his past life, it was a top-tier Paladin player who only unlocked it after level 40. In this timeline, SeraphWarrior had snagged it first, destined to propel him into the ranks of the elite.

The class’s innate skill tree let him use abilities from both the Retribution and Holy specializations. Sounded great on paper, but it came with a nasty 35% reduction to all his attack power, and his healing was only 50% as effective as a pure Holy Paladin’s. He was, at best, a half-strength healer.

The one upside was that he didn’t use mana. He built Holy Power by attacking, which he could then spend to heal himself or others, or to unleash powerful damage skills. But with that 35% damage penalty slapped on everything, even his biggest hits felt weak.

However, Ethan knew the secret of Williams’s class. Once he hit level 60 and completed his Ascension quest, the ‘Judicator’ would evolve into a ‘Divine Judicator’. That would shatter the seals on his power, restoring his damage and healing to full potency. He’d even gain the ability to switch stances on the fly, converting healing power into bonus holy damage on his attacks, or sacrificing offensive power for massive healing buffs—a single heal from him then could rival a standard Paladin’s Lay on Hands.

Then there was Meatball, ‘Necromantic Summoner’ class. Its power was blatantly obvious. As long as he stayed alive, an endless tide of skeletons would do his bidding. At his current level of 49, his summon cap was his level multiplied by five, meaning he could field a small army of two hundred and forty-five undead minions. Post-level 60, with his ‘Necromantic Will’ mastery leveled up? He’d be a one-man Scourge event.

The Chase brothers’ ‘War-Stomper’ and ‘Flame Soulbinder’ classes were just as terrifying. They were pure, unadulterated power, scaling exponentially with their levels. Ethan had advised them to go all-in, dumping every single attribute point into Strength and Intelligence, respectively. No points wasted on anything else. If their classes were built for extremes, they might as well embrace it.

As for Lyla, even as a standard Marksman, the legendary bow she wielded elevated her into the top tier of burst damage dealers. In a straight single-target fight, no one in the group could out-damage her.

“Leo,” Ethan said, turning to the tank. “I gave you the info for the Shield Tank hidden class, ‘Iron Guardian,’ right? How come you haven’t picked it up yet?”

He remembered giving both Leo and Victor the relevant guides after he’d learned about Williams’s class change, hoping to get all his core teammates powered up.

“Ugh, don’t even remind me. It’s your Avatar’s fault,” Leo sighed, his expression souring.

“My Avatar? What did he do?” Ethan was genuinely surprised.

“I’d already triggered the quest! But he dragged me out for drinks, got me completely wasted… and by the time I woke up, the quest had changed!” Leo grumbled, pulling up his quest log and slapping a link into the party chat.

Skyblade: “See for yourself, boss. It turned into this. I’ve been too scared to even start it. What if it’s a garbage class? Or I finish it and end up with some hybrid abomination like Williams over here? My team can’t afford that—you know I’m the only main tank we have; we don’t even have a proper off-tank!

[Hidden Ascension Quest: Grandmaster – Brewmaster]

Ethan read the quest name, and his mind went blank.

Grandmaster… Brewmaster?

‘What in the world was that?’

This class was completely outside the knowledge he’d carried from his past life. In nearly five years spent within Ethereal before his rebirth, he had never, ever heard of a ‘Grandmaster’ class, and ‘Brewmaster’ gave him no clues at all.
