?
[Kill me Spirit Foxes, gain 10 experience points]
[Plunder talent activated, gain 1 point of Spirit]
[umte 100 Killing Points, Plunder talent special effect 1 enhanced]
[Kill ordinary monsters, 20% chance to Plunder their attribute points]
The notification shed.
John was overjoyed. With the enhanced Plunder talent, the chance to plunder attribute points had doubled!
He could now gain the 500 Spirit points even faster.
Both the Plunder talent and the Wrath of the Gods talent can up the level
And seemed to have limitless growth potential.
The next Plunder talent enhancement required 1000 Killing Points,
while the Wrath of the Gods talent needed 31 more first-tier monsters to upgrade.
Feeling motivated, John quickened his pace in killing the me Spirit Foxes.
Meanwhile, Sini was struggling. She couldn''t lure the monsters fast enough to keep up with John''s killing speed.
Another five me Spirit Foxes fell.
Sini copsed to the ground, panting heavily. "Boss, can you slow down a bit? I can''t keep
up."
The rapid increase in experience points was satisfying, but running back and forth was exhausting.
John nced at Sini and said calmly, "You have two choices: keep luring the monsters, or I can send you back to the novice vige for free."
"You!" Sini gritted her teeth. This Godyer was a devil who didn''t understand pity.
"Damn this jerk!" she cursed inwardly, dragging her tired body to continue luring the monsters.
Fortunately, her level had increased to 4, significantly boosting her Agility. Luring the monsters was no longer dangerous.
Sini moved nimbly, weaving through the dense forest to attract as many me Spirit Foxes as possible.
At one point, she managed to lure ten me Spirit Foxes, thinking it would trouble
Godyer, but he handled them effortlessly.
Monster! This guy was definitely a monster!
Realizing Godyer''s immense strength, Sini stopped trying to y tricks.
Boom!
Suddenly, a fireball exploded in front of her, sending her flying and nearly killing her with over 100 points of damage.
Sini Startled, and saw arge me Spirit Fox engulfed in mes ring at her.
A boss!
She turned and fled, shouting, "Boss, save me! It''s the leader boss!"
John''s eyes lit up with excitement. Finally, another boss.
Last time, he had plundered the Wind de skill from the Green Snake boss.
He wondered what he would plunder this time.
The me Spirit Fox boss, along with seven me Spirit Foxes, was hot on Sini''s heels.
John quickly intervened,unching a fireball at the me Spirit Fox boss.
Boom!
-231
A significant damage number appeared, and the me Spirit Fox boss let out a wail of agony, its eyes filled with terror.
A single spell from this human had knocked out a quarter of its health.
The me Spirit Foxes abandoned Sini, turning their attention to John.
Whoosh!
A massive fireball appeared and instantly shot towards John.
Boom!
-54
An explosion followed, with the heat wave sweeping over John, reducing his health by 54 points, nearly half of his total.
The me Spirit Fox boss was at the first tier of level 10, capable of casting advanced beginner-level spells like therge Fireball.
John couldn''t afford to be careless. The gap between their levels and tiers was substantial. Sini, seeing Godyer dodging awkwardly, felt a pang of concern, "Could he be in danger?" She quickly caught herself, thinking, "Wait, why am I worried about him? I should hope both he and the me Spirit Fox boss take each other out."
Whoosh!
mes surged as the me Spirit Fox boss cast another spell.
Sini, gripping her dagger tightly, hesitated about whether to help Godyer.
At that moment, a wind de whistled through the air, hitting the me Spirit Fox boss with
precision.
Boom!
-230
The mes surged, and the me Spirit Fox boss was stunned. Its spell had been forcibly interrupted.
"How...how did he do that?" Sini was shocked, recognizing John''s deliberate skill from her
training in Ancient Martial Arts.
Skill intercepting a magic attack.
Skill interrupting the enemy''s spellcasting.
This Godyer was more terrifying than she had imagined.
Aron had provoked this guy and would likely pay a heavy price.
Sini, enved for years and filled with hatred for Aron, eagerly anticipated a direct confrontation between Godyer and Aron.
Boom! Boom!
The me Spirit Fox boss was repeatedly struck by two spells, its health plummeting to
nearly nothing.
"Screech!"
With a final cry, the me Spirit Fox boss''s mes extinguished, and it fell to the ground,
dropping two items-a staff and a pair of boots.
[Killed Level 10 me Spirit Fox boss, gained 20 experience points]
[Plunder talent activated, acquired skill Fire Rain]
[Fire Rain: Level 1, deals fire magic damage equal to 30% of spirit to targets within range;
consumes 15 mana, 10-second cooldown]
Area damage magic!
John was thrilled to have plundered an area damage spell.
Compared to single-target skills, area damage spells were far rarer.
In his previous life, even a basic area damage skill book was worth 10,000 gold coins, and it
was hard to find.
John never expected to get an area damage spell before leaving the beginner''s vige.
In addition, the me Spirit Fox boss dropped two pieces of equipment. [me Staff: Common, usable by a Tier 1 mage; +10 magic damage, +5 fire magic damage]
[Wind Boots: Common, usable by a Tier 1 profession; +7 speed]
Both items were ofmon quality for Tier 1,
but the me Staff added two attributes. Unfortunately, John couldn''t use it right now.
Sini approached, her eyes longing as she saw the Wind Boots'' attributes.
For an assassin, speed and physical damage were the most crucial attributes. John ignored her desire and stored both the me Staff and Wind Boots, saying, "Stop
cking, keep pulling monsters."
"You!" Sini stomped her foot, gritting her teeth. "I curse you to be single forever!"
She had never met someone like this before. Usually, any man who saw her had ulterior
motives,
but Godyer was different.
It wasn''t that he was ying hard to get; it seemed like he was just intentionally giving her a
hard time.
"Does he know who I am?" Sini wondered, ncing warily at Godyer before continuing to
lure monsters.
John didn''t notice her change in expression.
He had six unassigned skill points from hisst level-up, perfect for upgrading Fire Rain.
[Fire Rain: Level 7, deals fire magic damage equal to 60% of spirit to targets within range; consumes 15 mana, 10-second cooldown]
With his high spirit attribute, the damage of the Level 7 Fire Rain reached 256 points.
Two casts of Fire Rain could wipe out a group of me Spirit Foxes.
John''s efficiency in killing the me Spirit Foxes increased dramatically, leaving Sini
exhausted as she continuously attracted more.
...
[Sessfully killed 100 Tier 1 monsters, Wrath of the Gods talent upgraded to Level D, now
30% cooldown reduction]
[Next upgrade requirement: Kill 1000 Tier 1 monsters, Wrath of the Gods can be upgraded to
Level C]
Notifications shed.
The Wrath of the Gods talent had been upgraded to Level D, providing a 30% cooldown
reduction.
Fireball and Wind de now had a cooldown of 2.1 seconds, and Fire Rain had a cooldown of 7
seconds.
Each level-up in Wrath of the Gods provided a 10% cooldown reduction. John couldn''t
imagine how powerful this talent would be at SSS level.
The next upgrade required killing 1000 Tier 1 monsters, which wasn''t a problem for him.
After dealing with two more me Spirit Foxes, he looked at the stunned Sini and said, "Keep
going."
Sini, with a resigned expression, spread her hands and said, "There are no more." John realized that the surrounding me Spirit Foxes had been cleared out. His spirit
attribute had increased by another 7 points, and his agility by 2 points, bringing his spirit attribute to 164.
He was closer to the 500 spirit points needed to break Dino''s curse. Unfortunately, there weren''t enough me Spirit Foxes, and their respawn rate couldn''t keep
up with John''s killing speed.
The area did have packs of Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves, but they were known for their
strength and agility, which wouldn''t help in plundering spirit attributes. "Godyer," Sini said with a mischievous smile, "I just got word that the Wind and Cloud
Guild is hunting a boss. Should we go ''help''?"
She emphasized the word "help" with a hint of sarcasm.
