Vampiric Touch.

This Spell works on any Hit Points enemy, and the damage it inflicts is quite consistent.

Divine Power endows it with powerful Spell Penetration capabilities.

So far, Soren has never failed to use Spell. For Soren, it's like a fixed-damage ability, reducing the opponent's Hit Points while simultaneously healing his own injuries. Unfortunately, it can only be used once a day, so Soren can only use it when he's fighting desperately. As for the Spell ' Vampiric Touch ' that he memorized, since it's not an innate Spell-like Ability and lacks Divine Power, even if Soren memorized it, he must first cast the incantation and then touch the target for it to take effect. (Note: Casting time is approximately 1.5 seconds.)

In this situation, what affects the Spell is not Divinity, but the Spell strength brought about by his Wizard Level.

The injury healed at an astonishing speed.

Soren dealt over a hundred points of damage in an instant, but unfortunately it wasn't fatal to the thick-skinned Earth Elemental Elder.

However, this outcome was entirely within Soren's expectations. In the instant he created distance, Soren also unleashed a barrage of Magic Missile fingertips. While this attack might have limited effect on Dragon, it was quite effective against other Legendary Creature. After all, creatures like Dragon, who are born with various resistances and can increase their strength while sleeping, are few and far between.

--"Magic Missile x6!"

The Magic Missile, whistling through the air, struck the Earth Elemental Elder. Although the damage was greatly reduced, it still accumulated to seventy or eighty points. Thirty Magic Missile were fired at once; each only dealt two points of damage, but the sheer number made up for it. The Wizard's Arcane Magic Burst build relied on sheer numbers; unless the enemy was completely immune to Magic Missile damage, fifty missiles wouldn't be enough, so a hundred would be fired. Various Empower Spell and Maximize Spell to increase the Spell's level, ultimately overwhelming the enemy with a torrent of power.

Unfortunately, this tactic can be broken by adding a single 'shield spell' beforehand.

Otherwise, it would be a truly terrifying burst of damage.

--"Melf's Minute Meteors!"

After Soren's burst of power ended, he created distance and simultaneously retreated rapidly to unleash his ultimate ability.

but.

To his surprise, an Information Prompt suddenly appeared at this moment:

"Breakthrough in Abilities!"

"Through countless battles, you've achieved new breakthroughs!... You've gained information on the [Combat Casting] Feat!..."

"You have mastered a new Feat [Combat Casting]!..."

Accident!

This was an unexpected turn of events that Soren hadn't anticipated.

His Combat Casting Feat had surprisingly broken through under these circumstances, but what surprised him even more was that when he completed ' Melf's Minute Meteors,' the second set of data reappeared:

"Breakthrough in Abilities!"

"Through countless battles, you've gained more experience and skills!... Your understanding of spellcasting has reached new heights!..."

"You have received information about the [Mobile Spellcasting] Feat!"

Mobile Spellcasting!

The advanced Feat of Combat Casting and the prerequisite Feat of Flyby Attack — Soren has used Spell more than once or twice.

However, new data has only emerged now.

The appearance of two information prompts at once gave Soren a jolt. At his level, every improvement was quite significant. Being able to master two very important basic Feat through combat meant that he would have enough Feat Point to master even more powerful Legendary Feat in the future.

Accumulation, sedimentation, and brewing.

Each battle is not without its rewards; it's just that it takes a relatively long time for quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes.

Rumble!

Having mastered the [Combat Casting] Feat in the heat of battle, Soren's combat skills suddenly became much more flexible and varied.

The flames of the Minute Meteors roared out, engulfing the Earth Elemental Elder. With Soren's speed, his full-force attack was a close-range bombardment, directly obscuring the Earth Elemental Elder's figure in the dust.

"Why does this guy seem to be getting stronger and stronger?!"

The Loli Dragon couldn't help but glance at Soren, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She muttered, "This guy is a real freak!"

--"Dragon Wing Form!"

The little girl took a deep breath. Instantly, a pair of huge brass-colored Dragon Wing spread from her back, and she soared into the air, chasing and fighting the Air Elemental Elder in front of her. Since Soren could suppress the Earth Elemental Elder, she had to restrain the most difficult Air Elemental Elder.

--"Blasphemous Utterance! [Pain]!"

The bombardment of Melf's Minute Meteors had just ended when Soren activated his newly acquired ability, [Blasphemous Utterance].

This is Spell-like Ability is effective against any enemy, a power that directly affects the soul and spirit.

A power from the realm of the Deity!

The immense pain directly affected the Earth Elemental Elder's spirit, causing even its Elemental Life form to tremble uncontrollably.

--"Shadow Shift!"

Soren's figure vanished into the darkness, and the surrounding space began to distort. A gray hue enveloped everything as his figure Shadow Plane Travel, his icy light piercing directly through the Earth Elemental Elder's body.

Bang!

His heavy body collapsed to the ground.

A row of documents appeared before Soren's eyes:

"Slay the Earth Elemental Elder!..."

"Extracted target's Soul Energy!... You gained 48,000 Slaughter Experience points!..."

The Earth Elemental Elder died.

The difficulty of the battle was reduced considerably, and Soren took a short breather before setting his sights on the most difficult opponent Air Elemental Elder.

However, it seems he doesn't even need to lift a finger; the Loli Dragon could easily take on an Elemental Elder single-handedly.

Since that's the case!

Soren, however, remained calm. He retreated back into the shadows, searching for a final opportunity to finish off his opponent.

Slaughter Experience is never too much, and roaming outside of battle makes it easier to find opportunities to strike. An Elemental Elder's nearly 50,000 Slaughter Experience points are a significant source of income for Soren. If he were to take down all four Elemental Elder by himself, it would probably be enough to raise his Wizard Level. Unfortunately, a one-on-one fight is unwise. Without Change Shape [Slayer Form], he has no chance at all, and even with Change Shape, his chances are only about 50-60%.

The battle continues.

When Loli Dragon saw that Soren had disappeared again, she was furious and gritted her teeth. In this situation, why wasn't he rushing over to help? He had run off somewhere again.

I just want to bite him to death!

--"Dragon Breath!"

Facing the rapidly moving Air Elemental Elder, the Loli Dragon couldn't help but take a deep breath. Her small chest swelled up, followed by a burst of scorching flames. The Dragon's breath attack was incredibly powerful.

at the same time!

The instant the Dragon Breath ended, Soren reappeared, accompanied by a cold, icy light, and the Air Elemental Elder was finished in his hand.

The three Elemental Elder are dead.

The last water Elemental Elder poses no challenge; the Maze seems to still be active. The water Elemental Elder has yet to appear.

The Loli Dragon waved her hand gently.

It seemed to be some kind of special Spell, and then the figure of the water Elemental Elder appeared.

"Snort!"

The little girl glared angrily at Soren, then stood aside with her pale little arms crossed, seemingly having no intention of helping at all.

That guy is such a scoundrel!

The last water Elemental Elder was left to deal with on his own.

This is infuriating!

Taking on an Elemental Elder one-on-one was almost effortless, and Soren's subsequent battles were remarkably easy. However, as the battle ended, the Loli Dragon beside him finally made a move.

She bit Soren!

The little girl, who had been holding her breath for a long time, finally bit Soren's arm hard after defeating all the enemies, leaving a row of clear and neat teeth marks. Then, as if still not satisfied, she kicked him twice. Finally, she glared at him hatefully, as if grinding her teeth and waiting to bite him again.

That bastard!

She's so cute and pretty! And she used me as a human shield!

On a wide, flat area.

The Monk sat cross-legged atop a towering stone pillar, seemingly meditating, yet his mind was constantly alert to his surroundings. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. A piercing glint flashed in them, and the Rogue's voice echoed in his mind, "Target spotted!"

"The target has been spotted!!!"

"The decoy has entered the designated range! The prey has appeared! Everyone prepare for battle!"

A fierce aura instantly enveloped the surroundings.

The Monk stood up abruptly, his expression slightly tense. He took a deep breath and said, "The Monk are ready! We can engage in battle at any time!"

A cold, metallic voice rang out, slowly saying, "The clock is ready!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"The prey has appeared!... Monk stand by!... Once the battle begins, immediately eliminate targets near the prey!..."

A series of sounds echoed in my mind.

"Swordmaster, stand by!"

"Rogue, stand by!"

"Barbarian, stand by!"

"Tower Spirit 3 is ready!..."

"Tower Spirit 2 takes command of the Arcane Tower!..."

"Tower Spirit 1 has completed its Demiplane confinement calculations!... Demiplane confinement will activate upon the appearance of the prey!..."

A series of sounds rang out.

Finally, a magnetic female voice rang out, slowly saying, "Synchronized Telepathic Bond established!... Activate Psionic Field sensing and sharing!... Tactical Simulation officially initiated!..."

"All units are ready for combat at any time!... Mind transmission has been synchronized!..."

(P. S.: One update today, still writing, but I probably won't finish. I'll post the battle chapters all at once tomorrow.) (To be continued~^~)
