As soon as she sent the invite, Malina received a system notification.
"Damn it!" she cursed inwardly, glaring at John.
This was the first ti in her life that soone had so blatantly refused her.
Her impression of John soured even further.
John, however, was unfazed. He had agreed to help defend against the monster tide to level up quickly.
Partying would split the experience points, severely impacting his leveling speed. Even Sini wasn't in the party with him.
...
The monster tide ca in wave after wave.
From the initial fourth-tier elental Dragon Monsters, the assault had now escalated to powerful fifth-tier beasts-giant elental dragons. But with their re hundred thousand hit points, they still couldn't withstand John's magical attacks.
"Just how strong is this guy?" Malina wondered, conflicted. She admired strength, but John's first impression had been so poor that she felt he didn't deserve such overwhelming power.
Ti passed, and more than eleven hours had gone by. The monster tide was nearly over, and this was likely the final wave.
Just then, an even more formidable tide appeared-sixth-tier elental wyverns, numbering a hundred thousand!
"Flying beasts!" Malina gasped, her heart sinking. She turned to Ritchie and asked, "Can this Godslayer really handle it?"
"Don't worry, he's got this," Ritchie replied, unconcerned.
He knew that John hadn't yet shown his full strength. While the sixth-tier monster tide was powerful, it was still no match for John.
Roar...
The sky darkened as the air filled with the overwhelming numbers of wyverns-ten thousand strong.
Malina's face turned grim. No matter how powerful John was, she couldn't see how he could fend off ten thousand agile flying beasts.
"We're finished!" she thought in despair. All her efforts over the past hours were about to be wasted because of what she saw as John's arrogance.
Sini glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll defend Phoenix City."
"Lovestruck fool," Malina muttered coldly. To her, Sini seed like a naive girl completely bewitched by Godslayer.
Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that facing so many elental wyverns alone is simply impossible.
"You... hmph!" Sini seethed, gritting her teeth in frustration. With a cold snort, she decided to ignore Malina.
By this ti, countless elental wyverns had already closed in.
John remained unfazed, calmly raising the Sword of Divinity and Demons high above his head.
Whoosh...
A fierce wind howled, and an overwhelming aura of terror filled the air, creating an invisible pressure that seed to weigh down on everything.
In the sky, the elental wyverns beca frantic, staring at John below in sheer terror.
So even collided with each other in panic, plumting to the ground in a cloud of dust, utterly defeated.
Rumble...
Dark clouds churned in the sky, thunder rumbled ominously, and a sense of impending doom enveloped the entire area.
"Divine Punishnt!" John's cold voice echoed as he brought the longsword down with imnse force.
The wind roared, and countless bolts of lightning danced wildly like a horde of demons, engulfing the hundred thousand elental wyverns.
Roar!
A chorus of anguished wails filled the air as countless elental wyverns plumted to the ground like raindrops. So were even torn to shreds by the relentless lightning.
In an instant, the hundred thousand elental wyverns were reduced to ashes, and notification ssages flashed continuously.
[You have slain a level 5000 sixth-tier elental wyvern, gaining 17,730 experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated, Luck 1.]
[Plunder talent activated, Skill Points 10.]
[You have reached level 200, unlocking the job advancent quest. After advancing, you can continue leveling up.]
[Wrath of the Gods Mage Fifth Job Advancent Quest: Slay 10 Epic Bosses Level 200 or above.]
[Nightmare Assassin Fifth Job Advancent Quest: Slay 10 Epic Bosses Level 200 or above.] [Sword Immortal Fifth Job Advancent Quest: Slay 10 Epic Bosses Level 200 or above.]
...
[You have completed the job advancent quest and successfully advanced to Fifth-tier Wrath of the Gods Mage, Fifth-tier Nightmare Assassin, and Fifth-tier Sword Immortal.] [You have reached level 201, Constitution 1, Strength 5, Spirit 5, Agility 3, Free Attribute Points 24, Skill Points 2.]
[You have successfully slain 60 sixth-tier Epic Bosses. Wrath of the Gods talent upgraded, skill mana consumption reduced by 60%.]
[Next level-up condition: Slay 70 seventh-tier Legendary Bosses.]
...
The notification ssages kept flashing. Among the fallen were several boss-level elental wyverns, causing John's base attributes to skyrocket.
Not only that, but he had directly leveled up to 200, unlocking his fifth job advancent quest, which he completed imdiately.
His Wrath of the Gods talent was further upgraded, reducing skill mana consumption by 60%.
However, advancing to the next level would be more challenging, requiring the slaying of 70 seventh-tier Legendary Bosses.
Currently, John was barely capable of handling early seventh-tier Legendary Bosses.
The most difficult part was finding enough of these rare bosses, as they were scarce and hard
to locate.
John didn't dwell on this issue, instead turning his attention to the pile of loot scattered
across the ground.
The loot consisted of high-quality sixth-tier weapons and equipnt, along with a large number of skill stones, enhancent stones, and socketing gems.
There were also rare elental socketing gems representing the four common elents:
wind, fire, water, and earth.
A level 1 elental gem socketed into a weapon could increase corresponding elental
magic damage by 1%.
These gems were more rare and valuable than ordinary base attribute gems.
At this mont, everyone was utterly stunned as they took in the devastation on the
battlefield.
Malina, in particular, stood with her mouth slightly agape, overwheld by what she had just
witnessed.
One person single-handedly equivalent to an entire army-how terrifying must that level of
power be?
No, Godslayer's abilities far surpassed any army. A regular army of players would never have been able to withstand a hundred thousand sixth-tier elental wyverns.
"Hey, your jaw's about to drop!" Sini teased, looking at Malina's dumbfounded expression
with a smug smile.
Gulp!
Malina swallowed hard and snapped out of it, shooting Sini a fierce glare.
She felt like this young girl was mocking her.
[Announcent: Phoenix City has successfully defended against the monster tide and has
been established.]
[All mbers receive 100,000 experience points, 100 free attribute points, and 10 skill points.]
...
As the announcent rang out, the players finally snapped out of their daze, and cheers
erupted from the city walls.
"We did it!"
"Godslayer is just too overpowered. We didn't do anything, and we still got so many
rewards."
"Our boss really had foresight, getting Godslayer to help us."
"Alright, everyone, stop standing around-let's get to work."
With that reminder, the players rushed onto the battlefield to collect the loot.
Initially, so had grumbled about John getting all the loot.
But now, they were more than willing to accept it.
Without Godslayer's help, they knew they would never have been able to establish the city.
...
John was busy checking his stats. Not only had he advanced to the fifth tier, but during this defense, his spirit attribute had increased by over 30,000 points, and his other three base attributes had each risen by nearly 10,000 points. His power had grown trendously.
He even considered using the City Building Orders he had to attract more monster tides and
further boost his strength.
Just then, Ritchie and the others approached.
Malina looked at John, her previous coldness replaced with gratitude. "Godslayer, thank you
for your help."
John waved her off, saying, "No need, but just saying thanks is too light. What about the promised reward?"
He was still thinking about the fifth-tier hero Secret Area scroll she had.
Malina's mouth twitched slightly. She couldn't understand how soone like John could even
find a girlfriend.
She glanced at Sini, guessing that she must be totally lovestruck, completely taken in by John.
"Hmph, I keep my word," Malina said, not wanting to argue with John. She handed over the
Secret Area scroll.
Then she added, "As we agreed before, I'll be joining you in exploring the Secret Area."
"John, I want to go too," Sini quickly chid in.
Malina glanced at Sini and said, "No can do. This is a two-person Secret Area, so there's no
spot for you. It looks like your boyfriend will have to share with ."
She smiled sweetly, her gaze filled with challenge.
Sini ignored her, turning to John and asking, "Will it be dangerous?"
She wasn't worried about the beasts but rather about the Fox Demon Curse within John. John replied, "No, if anything goes wrong, I'll retreat to Death Land."
Anna and the other girls were always in Death Land and could help him detoxify at any ti.
Besides, the Secret Area wasn't located in the Abyss, so he could enter Death Land whenever
needed.
Sini glared at John and whispered, "I ant...".
She subtly indicated Malina and winked at John, hinting that he should try to win her over.
John pretended not to understand, playing dumb.
Noticing Sini's gestures, Malina reassured her, "Don't worry, little girl. I'm not interested in
your boyfriend; he's not my type."
Sini shot her a glare, clearly displeased with the way she was being addressed. She replied,
"Sis, I'm just looking out for you. Don't co crying later."
Then, she turned to John, giving him a fierce look.
John wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't even made any moves, so why did Sini
always seem to want him to win over every beautiful woman they t?
Ignoring the two won, he focused on the Secret Area scroll in his hand. Dragonblood Treasure, a fifth-tier, two-person hero Secret Area, located in the Dragonblood
Mountains.
This made things much more convenient.
He could complete this Secret Area while also helping the Undead Lord with his resurrection.
Without wasting any ti, John sent a party invitation to Malina and said, "Let's make this quick; I'm on a tight schedule."
"In such a hurry? I prefer to take my ti," Malina teased, giving Sini a provocative look as
she spoke.
Sini was speechless. Take her ti? She hadn't even discovered John's limits yet-there
would co a ti when this woman would be the one crying.
She leaned close to John's ear and whispered, "Master, if you win her over, Sini will give you a
special reward."
"Stop ssing around; let's focus on the task. You two head back. ssage if anything
cos up," John instructed them, then mounted Avis with Malina and flew into Dragonblood
Highlands.
The entrance to the Dragonblood Treasure Secret Area was deep within the Dragonblood Highlands, surrounded by nurous elental dragons.
However, under the intimidating aura of Avis, the divine dragon, not a single elental
dragon dared to approach.
"Master, I feel sothing here is calling to ," Avis said, flying low and scanning the area
with a curious expression.
"Is that so?" John's interest was piqued as well. Perhaps this Dragonblood Treasure had sothing to do with the divine dragons.
