Level 4 Boss First Kill!

Su Yu's mind was racing, but his hands moved just as quickly.

One [Lightning Arrow] after another flew from the tip of his wand, and fireballs activated from magic scrolls, turning the surrounding [Hillside Sheep] into his Experience Points.

Wherever he passed, rows of [Hillside Sheep] corpses fell like harvested wheat.

And this time, there were no other players around, no need to worry about being seen—Su Yu grew even more unrestrained.

But just after Su Yu had been grinding for over ten minutes and killed more than four hundred [Hillside Sheep], he suddenly noticed an eerie whistling sound coming from the sky.

Looking up, Su Yu saw a goat, entirely golden and half again as large as the other [Hillside Sheep], plummeting straight down from midair toward him.

[Hillside Sheep Boss (Elite)]

HP: 800

It was actually a green Elite-grade boss!

It turned out that just moments ago, the Goat Boss had spawned not far from Su Yu's position.

As luck would have it, Su Yu's [Lightning Arrow] struck it.

Hit by the attack, the Goat Boss's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. It used the skill [Leaping Stomp], leaping high into the air and stomping down from above toward Su Yu's location.

And Su Yu had been zoning out during the leveling process, only snapping back to reality when the Goat Boss was nearly on top of him.

After coming to his senses, Su Yu hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was already too late.

He had only taken two steps when the Goat Boss's hooves slammed heavily into the spot where he had just been standing.

Boom!

Dust and dirt churned at the landing point of the Goat Boss, and a small Earthquake Wave rippled outward.

-

78!

Caught in the Earthquake Wave, Su Yu's HP plummeted by a huge chunk.

His original 90 HP was reduced to just 12—he was on the verge of death.

Fortunately, Su Yu's [Novice Mage Robe] and [Cloth Boots] were both reinforced Rare-quality items, granting him an extra 20 points of Defense.

Otherwise, that single blow would have one-shot Su Yu!

"Phew, good thing I wasn't one-shot. Getting kicked offline by a low-level monster would be a huge embarrassment!" Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

In "Evolution," being killed in the wild by a player or monster didn't cause level loss or equipment drop.

But every time you were killed, you were forcibly kicked offline for Half an hour and couldn't log in, while also losing half an hour of game time. ("Evolution" allowed a maximum of 12 hours of playtime per day.)

If Su Yu got kicked offline for Half an hour due to carelessness, that would be a massive loss!

The Goat Boss had no idea what Su Yu was thinking.

But as an "Elite"-grade boss, besides the [Leaping Stomp] skill, it also possessed two other skills.

"Baa!"

The Goat Boss let out a cry and activated the [Sheep Swarm Summon] skill.

Five flashes of white light, and five [Hillside Sheep] were summoned, their target locked onto Su Yu!

Then, the Goat Boss unleashed its third skill, [Sheep Swarm Charge], accelerating with its "sheep minions" in a sprint toward Su Yu, intent on eliminating this intruder.

But Su Yu remained unfazed.

Even though he was down to a sliver of HP—one touch from the sheep would kill him—and he hadn't brought any Health Potions.

Still, Su Yu had been tempered (read: traumatized) by high-level monsters before.

In his Previous life, facing the saturated barrage attacks of high-level monsters, like a "lightning storm," Su Yu's skills had been honed to an exceptional degree.

The Goat Boss might be an "Elite"-grade boss, but to Su Yu, it was nothing.

Facing the sheep's assault, Su Yu locked onto the Goat Boss's movement trajectory, sidestepping its charge with a light and nimble dodge.

Then Su Yu downed a bottle of [Minor Wisdom Potion], boosting his Intelligence by 10 points.

Next, with his left hand, he used an [Ice Arrow] scroll, while his right hand waved his wand to Cast a spell of [Lightning Arrow].

-

60-

88

The two attacks struck the Goat Boss, shaving off 18% of its HP, and its Movement Speed was reduced by 20% thanks to the [Ice Arrow] scroll.

Moreover, this [Lightning Arrow] triggered the 40% chance [Paralysis] effect, freezing the Goat Boss in place, unable to move.

But Su Yu didn't continue dealing with the Goat Boss. Instead, he prioritized handling the group of "sheep minions" it had led.

Compared to their "leader," the "sheep minions" were practically "frail and weak."

Standing still, Su Yu unleashed spells one after another.

[Lightning Arrow]!

[Fireball]!

-70-

-102-

-71

The five "Little Sheep Minions" never had a chance to get close to Su Yu, dissolving into streaks of white light under his attacks.

After finishing off the minions, Su Yu turned his full attention to the Goat Boss.

Weaving between the Goat Boss's attacks, he hurled spell after spell at it.

The Goat Boss's health quickly dropped below 50%.

Possessing some basic AI, the Goat Boss began to feel fear in the face of Su Yu's relentless magical assault.

It stopped attacking Su Yu, turned around, and fled in the opposite direction.

The boss was actually trying to escape!

But how could Su Yu let a "cooked duck" fly away?

He chased after the Goat Boss, continuing to attack with [Ice Arrow] scrolls and [Lightning Arrow].

[Lightning Arrow] had a cast time of only 0.5 seconds and dealt devastating damage.

The Goat Boss hadn't run far before its health fell below 20%.

Knowing its remaining health wasn't enough to escape Su Yu's attacks, it suddenly spun around and used its freshly cooled [Leaping Stomp], jumping toward Su Yu in an attempt to crush him into pulp.

But earlier, Su Yu had only been caught off guard by the Goat Boss's skill.

Now that he was paying attention, there was no way the Goat Boss could harm him.

Su Yu calculated the Goat Boss's landing point and stood outside the skill's range.

Bang!

The Goat Boss's four hooves slammed heavily into the spot Su Yu had just occupied, sending a small earthquake wave rippling across several square meters.

But Su Yu stood precisely where the shockwave couldn't reach, taking no damage at all.

Then he unleashed [Lightning Arrow] again, tossing a [Fireball] scroll along with it.

-85-

-63

"Baa—"

The Goat Boss's health was drained completely, and it collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Ding! You have slain [Hillside Sheep Leader (Elite) Lv4]. Gained 80 Experience Points."

Su Yu's experience bar had been nearly full after killing over four hundred goats, and the 80 points now filled the final gap.

A dazzling golden light flashed around him—he had successfully reached Level 3!

Upon reaching Level 3, Su Yu's Spell Power naturally increased to 28 points.

And with the level-up, the [Crescent Wand Lv3] dropped by the [Black Boar Leader] was finally usable!

Su Yu upgraded the [Crescent Wand] to Blue Rare Quality.

[Crescent Wand Lv3 (Rare)]

Spell Power: 16

Intelligence +5

Mana Regeneration +5

The [Crescent Wand] replaced the [Novice Staff].

Compared to the [Novice Staff], the [Crescent Wand] gave Su Yu an additional 8 Spell Power, bringing his panel's Spell Power to a staggering 34 points!

"Even a Level 10 mage probably doesn't have stats as high as mine!" Su Yu felt a surge of excitement.

Combined with the high damage output of his Rare-quality [Lightning Arrow], other mage players might not reach Su Yu's terrifying offensive capability even by Level 20!

Such was the fearsome effect forged by a legendary talent and unlimited resources!
