Shaya's Help

Having left Isabella's territory, Gu Xi made up his mind that he would strike his next target directly, without giving the other party a chance to speak.

Everyone has their own reasons.

But Gu Xi now needs to complete his mission.

I'm not acting as a judge for a "misery contest".

He doesn't have that much time or energy to squander.

After leaving this direction, Gu Xi immediately bypassed the mountain and arrived near another mountain.

There is also a deceased faculty member on this hill.

This faculty member is a veterinarian who helps the students treat their sick pets.

Of course, he couldn't handle some of the stronger pets.

All he did was raise things like mice, frogs, and owls.

However, after the incident at the Mysterious Academy, this place has become a graveyard for small pets.

When Gu Xi arrived here, all he saw were bones scattered all over the ground.

"The faculty and staff here should be fine, so let's bring them out and beat them up."

Gu Xi raised the Cold Wind Staff, preparing to throw a Summoning onto the ground.

Just then, Gu Xi suddenly heard Shaya's voice.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

Gu Xi glanced at Shaya. "Are you gathering intelligence here?"

"Yes, Jason here is a nice guy, and his little animals are very capable; they can find out a lot of information."

But sir, didn't you go back to Aryadovi City?

"Why are you back so soon?"

Gu Xi quickly explained his mission and said, "I'm currently selecting a suitable target to attack."

"Ah, it's good that you ran into me, sir. If you had dealt with Jason, you might have made enemies with many people."

Jason's pets are a great source of entertainment for many faculty members.

Without these small animals, many faculty members, in the time it takes to become ghosts, have long since lost themselves.

"Alright, it's good that you arrived early. You've taken a look around here; have you found a suitable target for me?"

When Gu Xi asked her this question, Shaya did think of a few people.

"Yes, about twenty miles from here, there is a level 10 Stitched Monster. He was the blacksmith in the academy, but after he died, he has been in a state of being difficult to communicate with. Anyone who gets close to him will be attacked by him."

"There are blacksmiths in the academy?"

Gu Xi was quite curious; the sheer size of the academy was already quite surprising to Gu Xi.

He never expected that there would be a full-time blacksmith in this academy.

"Of course there are. I heard that back in the Crocodile Department, anyone who touched the Sword of Leadership, regardless of whether they used the sword themselves, would go to a blacksmith to forge their own Longsword, just to prove what they had learned."

Hearing this, Gu Xi thought for a moment and said, "Then in that case, I also need to find a blacksmith to forge a Longsword, because I have also learned leadership skills."

"But sir, you haven't touched that Sword of Leadership."

"Same here, I'll see if he admits that I've learned leadership skills."

Gu Xi waved to Shaya and rode the Evil Coffin toward the location Shaya had indicated.

After rounding a mountain and moving about twenty miles southwest, Gu Xi encountered the Stitched Monster transformed from the blacksmith.

The Stitched Monster in front of us is not much different from other Stitched Monster, except that it has two extra arms specifically for blacksmithing.

One of his arms was transformed into pincers, and the other was simply turned into a hammer. It was clear that even as an undead, he had not forgotten his duty.

However, his current situation was quite unusual. There was a large laceration on his abdomen, and a large number of limbs could be seen piled up inside the laceration.

Upon seeing Gu Xi arrive, the Stitched Monster roared.

"Meat, the best meat!"

After saying that, he charged forward with the hammer in hand.

"The Undead Tendrils!"

Gu Xi immediately tried to stall this guy.

Gu Xi could tell at a glance that this Stitched Monster was a physical attack type of creature.

His defenses are likely very high, and his lifespan is also very long.

But as long as the other party can't get close to him, even with Gu Xi's current magical power, he can easily kill this guy.

"Move around him!"

Gu Xi tapped the Evil Coffin, then cast a spell on the blacksmith's Stitched Monster.

"Magic Arrow!"

Bone Spike!

"White Bone Storm!"

"Flame Trap!"

Gu Xi unleashed spell after spell, each one hitting the blacksmith's Stitched Monster with pinpoint accuracy.

However, when Gu Xi's spells landed on the blacksmith's Stitched Monster, the damage effect was not very high.

The Magic Arrow, enhanced with ice and fire effects, only deals 3 to 5 points of damage to the blacksmith's Stitched Monster.

Even Gu Xi's powerful weapon, the White Bone Storm, could only leave white scratches on the blacksmith's Stitched Monster, but could not inflict more than 1 point of damage.

Whenever the blacksmith's Stitched Monster faces White Bone Storm, it simply closes its eyes and charges straight in.

As for Flame Trap, they're nothing to Blacksmith Stitched Monster.

He could even step on the flames and extinguish them once he saw them.

But Gu Xi's mind wasn't on attacking the enemy at all; Gu Xi only had one thought in mind.

I'm using you to practice my spells.

You just wait, wait until I deplete my mana to below 100 points.

The blacksmith's Stitched Monster had no idea what Gu Xi was thinking.

After being thrashed around by Gu Xi for a few rounds, he also became somewhat annoyed.

So he raised the hammer in his hand and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

The ground shook as he slammed down.

The Evil Coffin moved at a slower speed.

Gu Xi also felt as if he had been encased in a thick layer of iron armor, and his whole body was about to be crushed.

Gu Xi checked his own condition.

He discovered that he had been imbued with the Iron Armor Spell without his knowledge.

This is a buff spell. After being enchanted by this spell, Gu Xi can withstand most attack damage below 20 points.

When damage below this level hits him, it can only inflict a maximum of 1 point of forced damage; the rest will be blocked.

This situation made Gu Xi realize that something was wrong.

He then noticed that a new spell was about to be cast on him.

Jump away!

Gu Xi shouted immediately.

The Evil Coffin reacted quickly, dodging the spell with a forward dodge.

Then Gu Xi looked at the blacksmith's Stitched Monster.

The spell he just used was clearly not working properly, and he was no longer willing to drag it out.

He flipped his hand and raised the Cold Wind Staff just as the blacksmith's Stitched Monster was about to unleash another new spell.

"The Death Avatar!"
