Clearing Out the Baron's Manor

Su Yu was unaware of the discussions on the forum, and even if he were, he wouldn't care.

At this moment, Su Yu was escorting the butler, Charlemagne, towards the depths of Baron Wilson's manor.

Walking along the finely paved pebble path, Tina's expression grew a bit nervous as she looked at the approaching baron's castle.

She squeezed Su Yu's hand and whispered, "Nemesis, aren't we being a bit reckless this time? Baron Wilson is not someone to be trifled with, especially his chief guard, Adams, who is a very powerful Warrior! Why don't we go to the Warrior's Guild? I can find my sister Quinn there."

"No need."

Su Yu released her hand and patted her shoulder to reassure her. "Just a small baron, I can handle it!"

"But..."

Before Tina could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted from the castle ahead.

A guard clad in armor and wielding a long sword emerged from within, followed by six other guards.

"Who are you people?" the leading guard shouted at Su Yu.

Before Su Yu could answer, the butler, Charlemagne, scrambled towards the guard. "Adams, they're bandits! Deal with them quickly!"

Su Yu frowned and unleashed a [Lightning Arrow]. The butler, Charlemagne, was silenced permanently.

Seeing Su Yu dare to commit murder in front of him, Chief Guard Adams's expression turned grim.

He raised his long sword and roared behind him, "Let's go together and take down this bandit!"

"Yes, sir!" The guards tightened their grip on their weapons and charged at Su Yu with Adams.

Seeing the guards charge, Tina became anxious and tugged at Su Yu's sleeve.

Su Yu, however, showed no panic and unleashed another [Chain Lightning]!

Thick bolts of lightning struck Adams, the leader, and then arced to the other guards.

-

104-

122-

121-

126

Four high numbers popped out. The three guards behind were electrocuted, their bodies charred, and they collapsed to the ground.

Although Chief Guard Adams was hit by the [Chain Lightning], he possessed an "Elite" template, giving him 3.3 times the health of a normal guard. He barely withstood Su Yu's damage and didn't die instantly.

However, he was scorched inside and out, kneeling on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with black dregs.

The remaining guards, who had luckily avoided the lightning's reach, immediately stopped in their tracks upon witnessing this scene.

They stared nervously at Su Yu, their sword-wielding arms trembling slightly, none daring to take a step forward.

Adams knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his sword, and asked with difficulty, "Who exactly are you?"

"A debt collector," Su Yu replied concisely. "Where is your baron?"

"The baron is... No, I'd rather die than tell you!"

"Then you die!"

Su Yu raised his staff, assuming a casting stance.

Watching the electric arcs gather at the tip of Su Yu's staff, Chief Guard Adams broke out in a cold sweat. "Wait, wait! Adventurer! The Baron is on the second floor, in his study!"

Faced with death, he did not hesitate to betray his master.

Su Yu interrupted his casting and turned to look at Tina. "Let's go! We're going to the second floor."

Su Yu strode into the castle and ascended the stairs to the second floor.

"Okay!" Tina quickly followed Su Yu's footsteps.

After entering the castle, she glanced back at the pathetic and panicked group of guards, her eyes wide with surprise:

"Nemesis, you're actually this powerful! The mighty Adams was no match for you! I doubt even Sister Quinn is as strong as you!"

"Of course. Without real skills, why would I dare to storm a baron's manor?" Su Yu smiled. "But later, when I go in to deal with Baron Wilson, you just wait outside."

"Understood!" Tina nodded obediently, her gaze towards Su Yu faintly filled with admiration.

Two minutes later, Su Yu entered the baron's study alone.

Baron Wilson was seated in his leather armchair in the study, flipping through a parchment book.

Seeing Su Yu enter, he raised his coffee cup on the desk in greeting, his expression calm and composed.

[Baron Wilson Lv8]

Health: 1000

Judging by his health, Baron Wilson possessed the template of an Lv8 boss.

Seeing Baron Wilson's composure, Su Yu, holding his staff, revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at the baron. "I guess you didn't want to capture Tina just to make her your lover. You have a deeper purpose, don't you?"

Baron Wilson's expression stiffened slightly. "How did you know?"

"It's simple," Su Yu replied. "You had plenty of opportunities to capture Tina, so why choose the moment she had a talent test scheduled with Quinn? Your goal was to lure Quinn here, wasn't it?"

"Adventurer, you're quite sharp!" Baron Wilson stood up and clapped his hands at Su Yu. "I've long grown tired of country girls like Tina. A beauty from Oran City like Quinn is much more appealing!"

"However, do you know why smart people often don't live long?"

Baron Wilson picked up the staff placed beside him.

He was also a Mage!

"I don't know, can you tell me?" Su Yu smiled.

"Because of this!" Baron Wilson initiated the attack, beginning to cast a spell.

1.5 seconds later, an egg-sized fireball flew from the tip of his staff, hurtling towards Su Yu's head!

Su Yu stood his ground, only tilting his head to the left.

The fireball grazed his ear and slammed into the wall behind him, causing no damage to Su Yu.

In his past life, Su Yu was already a high-level Mage.

For spells cast by a low-level Mage like Baron Wilson, he didn't even need to look; simply by listening to the sound, he could accurately determine the spell's direction, power, and range.

That's why Su Yu merely tilted his head and easily dodged it, not even needing to cast [Ice Shield].

Baron Wilson, on the other hand, was completely stunned by Su Yu's masterful evasion.

He stood frozen, looking at Su Yu in disbelief. "Who are you? Are you really a Mage? You're not an Assassin disguised as one, are you?"

Baron Wilson gripped his staff tightly.

But even an Assassin would find it difficult to casually dodge a [Fireball], wouldn't they? Otherwise, how would Mages even make a living?

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that you're about to die, and that's enough."

Su Yu retaliated, directly using [Lightning Spell] and [Fireball] scrolls.

-

114!

-

53!

The two spells hit the Baron's chest, directly depleting 16% of his health!

Struck by the spells, the Baron's chest clothing was burned with a large hole, his body crackled with electricity, and he grimaced in pain.

However, he gritted his teeth and cast a counter-spell, unleashing another [Fireball].

But unfortunately, the fireball still failed to hit Su Yu.

The fireball whizzed past Su Yu's body and once again blasted into the wall.

Missing twice, the Baron's composure crumbled.

He mimicked Su Yu, attempting to dodge the [Lightning Arrow] and [Fireball].

But Su Yu's spells were not so easily dodged!

Su Yu predicted the Baron's predicted dodging positions, and neither the [Lightning Arrow] nor the [Fireball] missed, all striking the Baron.

The battle lasted a full 10 seconds.

After 10 seconds.

Su Yu's magic robe was spotless, and his health remained at full.

Baron Wilson, scorched and blackened, his health bar depleted to zero, collapsed powerlessly onto the ground.

An Level 8 boss had thus met a pathetic end at the hands of a Level 4 player.
