Equip Spell Card, Sword of Lightning

Xiao Wen's expression turned grim as he fully understood the Cyclops's attributes.

He was only level seven.

And he was supposed to fight a level 15 Elite Monster?

Wasn't this forcing him into an impossible situation?

However, what Xiao Wen didn't know was that in the game "Phantom Gods," any player brave enough to enter the Novice Village's forbidden grounds and venture deeper was at least level 15.

Players like Xiao Wen, who dared to enter the forbidden grounds at only level 6, possessed not only the courage of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger but also absolute confidence in their own strength.

"This is a bit tricky. I'll have to see where this monster's weakness lies first."

Xiao Wen muttered, but he had no intention of retreating.

So what if it was a level 15 Elite Monster? So what if he was eight levels lower?

He was the only one in Kyushu who could stand shoulder to shoulder with that god-like existence.

Would he be afraid of these eight levels?

No!

As long as he could find the opponent's weakness and guarantee a 100% chance of breaking through its defenses, let alone an Elite Monster, even a Lord BOSS would only become a part of his experience bar.

He bent his body slightly, his playful expression gradually fading, and dispersed his attention to his surroundings.

"Roar!"

The Cyclops charged forward, its eyes suddenly turning blood-red. The tree trunk in its hand, like a club, swung down towards Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes and, with a raise of his hand, the previously sealed Bewitching Fox card appeared in his grasp.

A flash of light, and the vacant-eyed Bewitching Fox materialized before Xiao Wen.

Simultaneously, Xiao Wen retreated, quickly creating distance between himself and the Cyclops.

The tree trunk swung down, hitting the Bewitching Fox on the head.

HP -1600.

A whimper escaped the Bewitching Fox as it was sent flying, its health bar dropping by more than half.

Perhaps due to the intense pain, the Bewitching Fox's vacant eyes regained some semblance of consciousness after this blow.

"Goo goo..."

The Bewitching Fox cried out softly. Beneath its black pupils, the pale, double pupils reappeared, the two layers of eyes flickering, emitting a faint mental tremor.

Immediately after, the Bewitching Fox's body trembled, and it fully awoke from its dazed state, looking at the Cyclops before it with a hint of apprehension.

"Attack power starting at 2000, attack speed 0.6, hitstun 0.7 seconds, movement speed 30."

Xiao Wen observed the Cyclops's attack on the Bewitching Fox, and a string of data flashed through his mind.

Compared to the data detected by the system, the data he obtained through practical observation was undoubtedly more precise.

"If it's just these stats, then I can give it a try. But..."

Xiao Wen's gaze fell upon the single eye on top of the Cyclops's head.

That was the part that concerned him the most.

From the information the system had scanned, he noticed that the opponent possessed a skill called "Abyssal Gaze."

He didn't know the power of this skill, but one thing was certain.

That was that using the skill would definitely require the use of its eye.

The eye could be the Cyclops's fatal weak point, but it could also be its greatest strength.

"I'll have to test the weaknesses of other parts first."

Xiao Wen muttered. Seeing the Cyclops charging towards the Bewitching Fox, he quickly had the Bewitching Fox retreat to avoid a direct confrontation.

After all, the newly sealed Bewitching Fox was the only one he had by his side that could be of some use.

He didn't expect the Bewitching Fox to deal much damage; it just needed to slightly distract the Cyclops.

The Bewitching Fox retreated quickly, its speed surpassing the Cyclops. The Cyclops could only clench its fist and pound its chest, roaring towards the sky to vent its rage.

Then, its gaze fell upon Xiao Wen, a fierce glint in its eyes, and it charged towards Xiao Wen again.

Xiao Wen's expression turned serious. He shifted his feet, not retreating but advancing, charging straight towards the Cyclops.

As the Cyclops approached, the ground trembled, and its massive foot was lifted, stomping down directly towards Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen's figure flickered, dodging the falling foot.

"Now's the time!"

The instant the Cyclops's foot landed on the ground, a sharp glint flashed in Xiao Wen's eyes. He leaped forward, landing on the Cyclops's foot.

He swung his fists, striking the toe joint of its foot.

HP -1.

The damage value appeared. Xiao Wen squinted his eyes and, without hesitation, retreated from his spot, moving to its ankle. He then punched, and climbed up its lower leg, punching as he climbed.

No matter how many punches Xiao Wen threw, the damage dealt was only 1.

Xiao Wen's brow furrowed, his expression unusually grim.

At his current speed, reaching the Cyclops' thigh before it could react was already his limit. If he tried to climb higher for a probing attack, he would inevitably expose himself within the Cyclops' line of sight.

At that point, with a pair of massive hands descending to cover a wide area, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.

And judging from the probing attacks so far, the creature's lower body had absolutely no weak points that could be targeted for a breakthrough.

As Xiao Wen was contemplating, his vision darkened, his head was obscured, and a pair of giant hands fell from the sky, reaching for him.

Seeing this, Xiao Wen no longer dared to stay on the Cyclops' leg. He immediately leaped off, tucking his head into a ball. The moment he hit the ground, he rolled forward several meters, perfectly dodging the Cyclops' subsequent kick.

"Kuribo!"

Just as Xiao Wen was struggling with the Cyclops before him, he faintly heard the call of the Winged Kuriboh.

Then, Xiao Wen saw a phantom image of a mini Winged Kuriboh push its way out of his deck and stomp its body forcefully on the deck.

"Are you telling me to use a card? But this is the Dream Eater's Forbidden Ground, and any monsters summoned here will be affected by the illusion..."

Xiao Wen paused, and in an instant, he seemed to guess what the phantom essence of the Winged Kuriboh wanted to convey.

Yes, even though monster cards couldn't be used, the cooldown for his spell and trap cards had passed.

Normal spell and trap cards might not be able to deal with the Cyclops in front of him.

But if it were one of those few cards, it might work!

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He raised his left hand, unfolding his Duel Disk. Xiao Wen drew a card, and a look of joy appeared on his face as he saw it. He placed the card onto the Duel Disk.

As the card landed on the Duel Disk, a beam of light shot up into the sky. The previously clear sky suddenly dimmed, becoming overcast with dark clouds. An extremely oppressive aura emanated, causing the nearby Cyclops to hesitate.

Chii!

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed within the dark clouds. It streaked across the sky from the heavens, descending onto Xiao Wen.

As the lightning's glow dissipated, a delicate longsword appeared in Xiao Wen's hand. The sword was broad and thick, its blade sharp, and lightning crackled at its tip.

This was the card Xiao Wen had just drawn.
