Chapter 8: First Kill of a Level 4 Boss!
Chapter 8: First Kill of a Level 4 Boss!
Su Yu's mind raced as his hands moved swiftly.
Bolts of Lightning Arrows shot from the tip of his wand, and Fireballs activated from magic scrolls, turning the surrounding Hill Goats into experience points.
Everywhere he went, rows of Hill Goat corpses fell like cut grass.
And this time, there were no other players around, so Su Yu didn't have to worry about being seen, allowing him to act more recklessly.
But after about ten minutes of grinding, during which he killed over four hundred Hill Goats, Su Yu suddenly noticed an eerie wind coming from the sky.
Looking up, he saw a golden goat, half again as large as the other Hill Goats, plummeting straight toward him from mid-air.
Hill Goat Leader (Excellent)
Health: 800
It was a green Excellent-level boss!
...
It turned out that the Hill Goat boss had respawned not far from Su Yu's location just a moment ago.
By sheer coincidence, one of Su Yu's Lightning Arrows hit it.
Feeling the attack, the Hill Goat boss's eyes turned blood red, and it used its skill, Leaping Stomp, to leap into the air and come crashing down on Su Yu from above.
Su Yu had been somewhat distracted during his leveling, and it wasn't until the Hill Goat boss was almost on top of him that he reacted.
By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.
He had only managed to take two steps to the side when the Hill Goat boss's hooves slammed into the ground where he had been standing.
Bang!
The impact sent a cloud of dust into the air and created a small earthquake.
-78!
The earthquake wave hit Su Yu, causing his health to drop sharply.
His health, originally at 90, was now down to just 12, leaving him on the brink of death.
Fortunately, the Apprentice Mage Robe and Cloth Boots he wore were both enhanced and of rare quality, providing him with an additional 20 points of defense.
Otherwise, that single attack would have instantly killed him!
"Phew, lucky I didn't get one-shot. That would have been embarrassing to be taken down by a low-level monster!" Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
In Evolution, being killed by another player or a monster in the wild wouldn't cause you to lose a level or your equipment.
However, each time you were killed, you would be forcibly logged out for half an hour and lose half an hour of game time. (You could only log in for a maximum of 12 hours per day in Evolution.)
If Su Yu had been logged out for half an hour due to carelessness, it would have been a significant loss!
The Hill Goat boss, unaware of Su Yu's thoughts, had more than just the Leaping Stomp skill. As an Excellent-quality boss, it had two additional skills.
"Baah!"
The Hill Goat boss let out a cry and used its Flock Summon skill.
Five white lights flashed, and five Hill Goats appeared, all targeting Su Yu!
Then, the Hill Goat boss used its third skill, Flock Charge, leading its "little brothers" in a charge toward Su Yu, intent on eliminating the intruder.
Su Yu, however, remained calm.
Despite being down to a sliver of health and not carrying any healing potions, Su Yu was no stranger to facing high-level monsters.
In his previous life, he had faced high-level monsters with attacks as dense as a hail of bullets in Thunder. His skills had been honed to perfection.
While the Hill Goat boss was an Excellent-level boss, it was nothing to Su Yu.
Anticipating the boss's movements, Su Yu deftly dodged its charge.
Then, he drank a Basic Wisdom Potion, increasing his intelligence by 10 points.
He then used a Frost Arrow scroll with his left hand and cast Lightning Arrow with his wand in his right.
-60
-88
The two attacks hit the Hill Goat boss, reducing its health by 18% and slowing its movement speed with the Frost Arrow.
The scroll reduced the damage by 20%.
The Lightning Arrow also triggered a 40% chance of the Paralysis effect, leaving the Goat Boss frozen in place, unable to move.
However, Su Yu didn't immediately focus on the Goat Boss. Instead, he prioritized the group of "little goats" it had led.
Compared to their "leader," the "little goats" were much weaker and more fragile.
Su Yu stood his ground and continued casting spells.
Lightning Arrow!
Fireball!
-70
-102
-71
...
The five "little goats" never had a chance to get close to Su Yu. They were quickly dispatched, turning into white light under his relentless attacks.
After dealing with the "little goats," Su Yu turned his attention back to the Goat Boss.
He dodged the Goat Boss's attacks while casting spells one after another.
The Goat Boss's health quickly dropped below 50%.
The Goat Boss, with its simple AI, began to feel fear as it faced Su Yu's relentless barrage of spells.
It stopped attacking Su Yu and turned to run 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 use the Ice Arrow scroll and Lightning Arrow.
The Lightning Arrow had a cast time of only 0.5 seconds and dealt immense damage.
The Goat Boss didn't get far before its health dropped below 20%.
Realizing that its remaining health wasn't enough to escape Su Yu's attacks, the Goat Boss suddenly turned and used its recently cooled-down Jump Stomp skill, leaping toward Su Yu in an attempt to crush him into a pulp.
But Su Yu had only been caught off guard earlier, which allowed the Goat Boss to hit him with its skill.
Now, with his full attention, it was impossible for the Goat Boss to harm him.
Su Yu calculated the Goat Boss's landing point and positioned himself outside its skill's range.
Bang!
The Goat Boss's hooves slammed into the ground where Su Yu had just been, causing a small earthquake in the surrounding area.
But Su Yu stood just outside the earthquake's reach, completely unharmed.
He then cast another Lightning Arrow and threw a Fireball magic scroll.
-85
-63
"Baa—"
The Goat Boss's health was depleted, and it fell to the ground, powerless.
Ding! You have defeated [Hill Goat Leader (Excellent) Level 4], gaining 80 experience points.
Su Yu's experience bar was already nearly full after killing over four hundred goats. The additional 80 experience points filled the final gap.
A brilliant golden light enveloped him, and he successfully reached Level 3!
Upon reaching Level 3, Su Yu's spell power naturally increased to 28.
Moreover, the Crescent Moon Staff Level 3 dropped by the Black Wild Boar Leader could finally be used!
Su Yu upgraded the Crescent Moon Staff to the rare blue quality.
Crescent Moon Staff Level 3 (Rare)
Spell Power: 16
Intelligence +5
Mana Regeneration +5
The Crescent Moon Staff replaced the Beginner Staff.
Compared to the Beginner Staff, the Crescent Moon Staff added an additional 8 points of spell power, bringing Su Yu's total spell power to an astonishing 34 points!
"I doubt even a Level 10 mage would have a higher stat than mine!" Su Yu felt a surge of excitement.
With the high output of his rare Lightning Arrow and his infinite resources, other mage players might not reach such terrifying damage even at Level 20!
This was the terrifying effect of legendary talents and unlimited resources working together!
