Killing a Level 5 Boss in 5 Seconds!

Su Yu steadied his mind and continued reading.

The requirement for the Hidden Quest was to survive one attack from the Star Forger Dragon King.

If Su Yu had received this quest at level 60, it would have been almost impossible to complete, because the Star Forger Dragon King was simply too powerful; a single breath could destroy an entire city!

But since this quest was available in Novice Village, and the penalty for failure was so severe, there must be a way to complete it.

"How do I complete it?" Su Yu stood in the monster crowd, lost in thought.

After thinking for about two minutes, he couldn't come up with any ideas to break the situation.

Su Yu sighed, "No matter what, let's finish what's at hand first."

Su Yu started to act, continuing to clear out the Silver Snakes.

This time, he came to Silver Snake Valley to level up, not only to stack Goddess's Tear, but also to solve a Silver Snake boss, get the Silver Snake Gall, and complete the first quest he received from the old mage: Join the Scholar's Sanctuary.

"I've already killed 180 Silver Snakes, so the Silver Snake boss should be respawning soon."

Su Yu thought, quickly releasing spells, and the surrounding Silver Snakes fell in swathes.

Now his Goddess's Tear was fully stacked, and his mana had greatly increased, reaching 760 points!

High mana is best paired with better mana recovery potions.

So Su Yu used Star Point Hand to upgrade the Minor Mana Potion.

"Ding! Do you want to spend 10 Psionic Coins to enhance the Minor Mana Potion?"

"Confirm!"

"Ding, Minor Mana Potion has been upgraded to Intermediate Mana Potion."

[Intermediate Mana Potion]: Restores 300 mana points over 3 seconds.

The high mana provided by Goddess's Tear, combined with the mana recovery effect of the Intermediate Mana Potion, saved Su Yu a lot of time drinking potions.

Su Yu no longer had to drink a mana potion every few spells.

More than ten minutes later, after killing more than two hundred more Silver Snakes, Su Yu reached level 4.

After reaching level 4, his spell power naturally increased, reaching 36 points.

And the Linen Gloves (Excellent) lv4 gloves produced by the goat boss could also be used.

Su Yu upgraded the Linen Gloves to rare quality and equipped them.

[Linen Gloves (Rare) lv4]
Defense +11
Intelligence +5
Casting Speed +5%

After equipping the Linen Gloves, Su Yu's spell power rose to 41 points, and his defense reached an astonishing 40 points!

40 points of defense is simply a bug-like existence for a level 4 character. If the shield warriors with the highest defense in the game saw Su Yu's defense attributes, they would probably burst into tears.

But the only pity was that even when Su Yu reached level 4, the Silver Snake boss still hadn't respawned.

However, Su Yu was also patient enough to continue clearing Silver Snakes in the monster area.

Finally, after killing more than a hundred more Silver Snakes, when Su Yu was getting a little impatient, the Silver Snake boss respawned!

[Silver Snake Leader (Normal)]
HP: 700

The Silver Snake boss was a giant cobra, pure white all over, 4 meters long, but with a bright red mark on its forehead.

Its respawn location was right next to Su Yu.

So as soon as it respawned, its vertical pupils stared straight at Su Yu.

Then it curled its body slightly and jumped up.

Like an arrow released from a bow, the Silver Snake boss flew straight towards Su Yu, its open mouth biting at Su Yu's neck.

Faced with the Silver Snake boss's attack, Su Yu just smiled slightly.

He looked at the Silver Snake boss with "loving" eyes, like an old farmer looking at ripe corn in the field.

So Su Yu stood still, first rewarding the Silver Snake boss with a Lightning Arrow and an Ice Arrow scroll, and then very slightly tilted his body to the left.

The Silver Snake boss's mouth passed by his neck, biting at nothing.

However, the Silver Snake boss was not to be trifled with.

Although it missed its bite, it arched its body in mid-air, driving its tail to whip at Su Yu like a whip.

This tail whip mixed with the "whooshing" sound of the wind, was quite powerful and fast.

With Su Yu's skills, he could roll away to dodge.

But as a Mage, he had a better way to deal with it:

Su Yu chanted a spell, and an Ice Shield quickly formed outside his body, solid ice formed by magic wrapped him inside.

"Bang!"

The Silver Snake boss's tail slammed hard against the [Ice Shield].

-112!

A huge number popped up above Su Yu's head, and the [Ice Shield] trembled violently a few times.

But it was no use; the Silver Snake boss couldn't break through Su Yu's [Ice Shield].

After its attack, the Silver Snake boss had nothing to brace against in mid-air and awkwardly fell towards the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yu unleashed his spells, aiming for the seven-inch spot on the Silver Snake boss.

-132!

-59!

-130!

-61!

Su Yu's current spellpower was as high as 41 points. In just three rounds of spells, the Silver Snake boss was reduced to low health!

The Silver Snake boss never expected that this tiny human before it would possess such high damage!

Severely wounded, it desperately tried to escape, but it was already too late.

[Lightning Arrow]!

[Fireball]!

Su Yu's last two spells were unleashed.

The poor Silver Snake boss, after being alive for less than 5 seconds, had its health bar emptied and turned into a charred corpse.

Ding! You have killed [Silver Snake Leader (Normal) lv5], gaining 70 experience points.

The system sent its congratulations.

"It's easy enough to kill, but it's a pity about this excellent piece of hide." Su Yu stared at the Silver Snake boss's corpse, a look of regret on his face.

The Silver Snake boss was a beast, and players who had learned skinning could peel off a complete, excellent-quality [Silver Snake Skin] from it to make leather armor.

In his previous life, Su Yu had a skinning sub-profession, and seeing the Silver Snake boss's corpse, he had the urge to go up and skin it.

But Su Yu wouldn't have time to learn a sub-profession in this life, so the Silver Snake boss's corpse would just have to go to waste.

Su Yu stepped forward and rummaged through the Silver Snake boss's corpse.

The Silver Snake boss was the first kill on the entire server, and the drops were very generous:

[Light Cloud Round Shield (Excellent) lv5], [Slick Scale Breastplate (Excellent) lv5], skill scroll [Word of Shield (Normal)], [Silver Snake Gall (Excellent)].

[Word of Shield (Normal)]: Uses holy light to form a shield, absorbing 150% of spellpower damage for you or your selected teammate. Cooldown time is 15 seconds, duration is 60 seconds, holy energy consumption is 20 points.

[Word of Shield] was a signature skill of the Priest class.

The Priest class had very poor damage output, but its healing and teammate protection abilities were very strong.

And Priests really needed such a skill.

He could put it up for sale at the trading house later.

None of the Silver Snake boss's drops were useful to Su Yu, so he glanced at them and didn't pay much attention.

After putting all the drops into his backpack, he left Silver Snake Valley and returned to Nolan Village.
