"Sparta!!!"
Seeing the Demonized Giant Lizard enter the prepared ambush area.
Dilios turned around and roared furiously.
His voice boomed like thunder, spreading far into the surroundings.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Before long, ten Spartan Warriors suddenly emerged from the surroundings and surrounded the Demonized Giant Lizard.
The Demonized Giant Lizard lowered its head and warily watched the approaching Spartan Warriors.
Its mouth was already filled with energy.
Its huge mouth suddenly opened, spraying more than ten dangerous energy balls at the surrounding Spartan Warriors in rapid succession.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The dense explosions directly blasted away a small section of the forest ahead.
The boulders were reduced to dust.
The trees were scorched into black charcoal.
The ground was pitted and battered beyond recognition.
However, such a powerful charged attack did not cause the Spartan Warriors any casualties.
That was because the ones surrounding the Demonized Giant Lizard were the original ten Spartan Warriors, all clad in Crimson Crocodile Armor and at LV5.
Most of them relied on agile movements to dodge the Demonized Giant Lizard's bombardment.
Even if one or two unlucky ones were caught in the explosions' aftershocks.
Under the Crimson Crocodile Armor's powerful defensive capabilities.
They were merely sent flying and suffered slight burns to their skin.
Seeing that his enemies had survived his ultimate attack and were still jumping around energetically.
The Demonized Giant Lizard sensed death drawing near.
It instinctively fled backward, wanting to reunite with its kin.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A dense rain of short spears shot over from behind.
The retreating route was blocked by the other Spartan Warriors.
The Demonized Giant Lizard dodged frantically, but several short spears still struck its body.
The scales covering its entire body blocked most of the damage.
But there were still weak blind spots in its defenses, and the short spears pierced them.
Feeling the pain in its body, as well as the small amount of energy remaining within it.
The Demonized Giant Lizard began to panic.
"Roar!"
The Demonized Giant Lizard lowered its body and growled, frantically lashing its slender tail in an attempt to summon its companions.
However, it had already been separated from the group by quite a distance.
The Giant Lizard herd had also fallen into chaos.
No Giant Lizard would come to its aid anytime soon.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Spartan Singer Musa shouted out a rapid battle chant.
Dilios led ten high-level Spartan Warriors and quickly closed in on the Demonized Giant Lizard.
Boom~
Pale-red blood energy burst from Dilios's body.
It rapidly spread to the other ten Spartan Warriors.
A fervent, iron-blooded aura echoed across the battlefield.
Spartan Rage ignited once more!
"Roar!"
Realizing that the moment deciding its life or death had arrived.
The Demonized Giant Lizard opened its huge mouth and squeezed out every last bit of energy within its body.
Seeing that the Demonized Giant Lizard still had enough strength to cast magic.
Dilios strode forward and leaped into the air.
He then hurled the spear in his hand at the Demonized Giant Lizard.
The distance was more than thirty meters.
In an instant, the spear pierced into the Demonized Giant Lizard's mouth.
Not only did it interrupt the magic that had yet to take shape in its mouth.
It also caused the Demonized Giant Lizard to suffer a backlash.
Bang!
Having blazing energy explode inside its mouth was anything but pleasant.
Although the Demonized Giant Lizard possessed considerable resistance to magic.
Its mouth was still one of its more vulnerable areas.
"Roar~"
Amid its wails.
The Demonized Giant Lizard raised its head.
Its long, forked tongue had already been blown into minced flesh.
A section of its lower jaw had been blown off completely, hanging from its neck and connected only by a layer of flesh.
It looked utterly miserable.
"Sparta!"
Dilios appeared beneath the Demonized Giant Lizard.
He raised the Fine Grade longsword forged by Baili.
He spun over.
A flash of cold light briefly blossomed at the Demonized Giant Lizard's neck.
Blood then sprayed from its neck like a waterfall.
The Giant Tooth Lizard rolled around on the ground in pain.
Its wails shook the surrounding dense forest.
They startled countless birds and beasts into flight.
In the end.
Its movements grew weaker and weaker until it fell still.
Golden Light also surged from Dilios's body.
Spartan Hero, Dilios, advanced to LV7!
Huanyu Territory.
The golden light of advancement once again enveloped Huang Yu.
Surging energy poured into his body.
Amid a series of crisp popping sounds.
Huang Yu's height increased to 185 centimeters.
The muscles throughout his body reshaped, forming graceful, clearly defined lines.
They contained explosive strength.
Huang Yu's level rose to LV9!
He had reached the limit of ordinary creatures.
Huang Yu's face filled with delight as he looked toward the information prompt that appeared.
The lord gained 1,027 experience points and 133 Soul Crystals!
Such a high experience and Soul Crystal reward.
It seemed that Dilios and the others had killed a high-level wild monster!
However, what Huang Yu had not expected was this.
After a brief delay.
Another information prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
Congratulations, Lord. You obtained one Skill Book. Please check your rewards!
A Skill Book had actually dropped!
Huang Yu's smile grew even brighter.
Skill Books in the Chaos Mall were absurdly expensive.
Ordinary and Fine Grade Skill Books usually cost hundreds or even thousands of Soul Crystals.
Skill Books involving transcendent abilities.
For example, Dilios's Spartan Rage was at least Rare Grade, and its price was extremely high as well.
Because Huang Yu was not good at fighting.
And he was not very interested in low-level skills.
He had rarely browsed the Skill Books in the mall before.
He had not expected that this time he would not only gain a considerable amount of experience and Soul Crystals, but also obtain a Skill Book.
Even if the skill inside could not be used by Huang Yu or his subjects.
He could still put it up for trade in Huanyu Mall.
That would bring in another considerable sum of Soul Crystals!
Huang Yu directly claimed the Skill Book.
A small booklet radiating a hazy light appeared before Huang Yu.
The booklet was palm-sized and entirely white, with four lines of text written on its cover.
Blazing Magic Bullet Grade: Rare Description: Condenses energy into a high-temperature explosive magic bullet. The bullet's power and size depend on the amount of energy infused. After charging for a period of time, multiple Blazing Magic Bullets can be produced simultaneously. Note: Non-magic-class professionals cannot learn this skill from the Skill Book. (The lord is not subject to this restriction.)
Huang Yu had originally thought that obtaining a Fine Grade Skill Book would already be quite good.
He had not expected his luck to be this good.
"Blazing Magic Bullet!"
"Only magic-class professionals and the lord can learn it."
"A charged attack with an area-of-effect function, too!"
"That really is pretty good!"
"But... it looks like I'm the only one who can learn it for now."
Although Huang Yu was not good at fighting.
He would not fear or avoid battle.
Besides, as a lord, he certainly needed to possess considerable martial strength.
Otherwise, how could he command the respect of his people?
Without experience in close-quarters combat, hiding in the back and casting skills would be much less difficult and dangerous.
Besides, based on his gaming experience on Blue Star, mages were the real deal.
Compared with the musclebound path, he preferred to take the mage route.
