Chapter 8: 8, First Kill at Level 4 Boss!_1
Translator: 549690339
Su Yu was thinking in his mind, but his hands were not slow at all.
He cast [Lightning Bolt] from the tip of his wand and set off Fireballs from his magic scroll, transforming the surrounding [Slope Sheep] into his Experience Points.
Wherever he went, rows of [Slope Sheep] corpses fell like cut leeks.
And since there were no other players around, Su Yu was more unscrupulous without the worry of being seen.
But just after Su Yu had been training for about ten minutes, killing over four hundred [Slope Sheep], he suddenly heard a strange wind sound from the sky.
Looking up, Su Yu saw a gold-colored goat, half the size larger than other [Slope Sheep], plummeting down towards him from mid-air.
[Slope Sheep Boss (Exceptional)]
Health: 800
It turned out to be a green exceptional level boss!
…
Just now, the goat boss had respawned at a position not far from Su Yu.
What a coincidence, Su Yu’s [Lightning Bolt] hit it.
Upon being attacked, the goat boss’s eyes turned red. It used the skill [Jump Stomp], leaped into the mid-air and stomped downwards at Su Yu’s position.
Su Yu had been daydreaming during his training session, and he only reacted when the goat boss was about to stomp on him.
After reacting, Su Yu quickly dodged to the side, but it was already too late.
He had just run two steps when the goat boss’s hoof mercilessly stomped on the spot he was just standing on.
Bang!
Dust rolled around where the goat boss landed, triggering a small seismic wave.
-78!
Su Yu was affected by the seismic wave and lost a big chunk of health.
His initial 90 health points were now down to just 12, and his life was in serious danger.
Fortunately, the [Novice Mage Robe] and [Cloth Boots] Su Yu was wearing were both enhanced rare quality items, providing him with an additional 20 points of defense.
Otherwise, this single strike would have instantly killed Su Yu by the goat boss!
“Phew, good thing I didn’t get killed. Otherwise, being kicked off the server by a low-level monster would be quite embarrassing,” Su Yu sighed in relief.
In “Evolution”, being killed by players or monsters in the wild does not result in a decrease in level or loss of equipment.
However, each death will result in being forcefully logged off for half an hour and a concurrent loss of half an hour game time. (You can only log in to “Evolution” for a maximum of 12 hours each day.)
If Su Yu were to be kicked off the server due to carelessness, that would be a big loss!
…
The goat boss did not know Su Yu’s thoughts.
But as an “Exceptional” quality boss, in addition to the [Jump Stomp] skill, it had two other skills.
“Baaa!”
The goat boss let out a sound and activated the [Sheep Herd Summon] skill.
After five flashes of white light, five [Slope Sheep] were summoned, pointing directly at Su Yu!
Then the goat boss released its third skill, [Sheep Herd Charge], and led its “sheep brothers” in a rush towards Su Yu, intending to deal with this intruder.
Su Yu, however, remained calm.
Despite only having one sliver of health left, meaning if the sheep touched him he would die, he didn’t have any health potions on hand.
But after all, Su Yu was a player who had undergone the baptism (destruction) of high-level monsters.
In his past life, Su Yu’s skills were honed to be outstanding in the face of high-level monsters launching attacks as saturated as a “bullet hell” game.
To Su Yu, the goat boss, although an “Exceptional” level boss, was not worth mentioning.
Facing the sheep herd’s attack, Su Yu accurately predicted the movement trajectory of the goat boss and skillfully dodged its charge with a swift move.
The he drank a bottle of [Junior Wisdom Potion], which increased his intelligence by 10 points.
Next, he used the [Ice Arrow] scroll in his left hand and the [Lightning Bolt] spell in his right hand with his wand.
-60
-88
The two attacks hit the goat boss, reducing its health by 18% immediately. Under the effect of the [Ice Arrow] scroll, its movement speed also decreased by 20%.
Furthermore, this [Lightning Bolt] triggered a 40% chance of the [Paralysis] effect, rendering the goat boss immobile.
However, Su Yu did not continue to deal with the goat boss, but instead prioritized handling its underlings, the “little sheep”.
Compared to their “leader”, the “sheep followers” seemed “as weak as paper”.
Su Yu stood still, repeatedly casting his spells.
[Lightning Bolt]!
[Fireball Skill]!
-70
-102
-71
…
The 5 “sheep followers” had no chance to get close to Su Yu as they were turned into beams of light under his attack.
After dealing with the “sheep followers”, Su Yu turned his attention to the goat boss.
While dodging the goat boss’s attacks, he continued to hurl spells one after another.
The goat boss’s health quickly decreased to less than 50%.
The goat boss possessed a simple AI system. Faced with Su Yu’s mad rush of spell attacks, it started to feel fear.
So, it stopped attacking Su Yu and turned to run in the opposite direction.
The boss actually tried to escape!
But how could Su Yu let the “duck in the pot” fly away?
He chased after the goat boss, continuing his attack with [Ice Arrow] scroll and [Lightning Bolt].
[Lightning Bolt] only had a 0.5 second casting time and its power was great.
The goat boss had barely run a few steps before its health dropped below 20%.
Knowing that its remaining health was not enough to escape Su Yu’s attack, it suddenly turned around and used its newly cooled down [Jumping Stomp], leaping toward Su Yu trying to squash him.
But Su Yu only got hit by the goat boss’s skill because he was distracted earlier.
Now, with his full attention, it was impossible for the goat boss to hit him.
Su Yu quickly calculated the goat boss’s trajectory and positioned himself outside its skill range.
Boom!
The goat boss’s four hooves smashed down where Su Yu had been standing, causing a small seismic wave within a few meters.
But Su Yu was just at the spot where the seismic wave didn’t reach, and he wasn’t hurt at all.
Then he released [Lightning Bolt] again and threw a [Fireball Skill] magic scroll as well.
-85
-63
“Mehー”
The goat boss’s health was drained and it fell helplessly to the ground.
“Ding! You’ve killed [Slope Sheep Leader (Excellent) lv4], earning 80 Experience Points.”
After killing over 400 sheep, Su Yu’s experience bar was almost full now. With the additional 80 points he just gained, the last gap was finally filled.
A dazzling golden light flashed around him. He leveled up to Level 3!
After reaching Level 3, Su Yu’s spell power naturally increased to 28 points.
Moreover, after leveling up, the [New Moon Wand Lv3] dropped by the [Black Boar Leader] could finally be used!
Su Yu enhanced the [New Moon Wand] to a rare quality.
[New Moon Wand Lv3 (Rare)]
Spell Power: 16
Intelligence +5
Magic Recovery Speed +5
The [New Moon Wand] replaced the [Novice Wand].
Compared to the [Novice Wand], the [New Moon Wand] increased Su Yu’s spell power by 8 points, bringing it to an astonishing 34 points on his stat panel!
“Probably even a Level 10 wizard doesn’t have a stat panel as high as mine!” Su Yu was quite thrilled.
Considering his high damage output with the rare [Lightning Bolt], other mage players might not have such scary output even at Level 20!
This was the terrifying effect of a legendary talent and unlimited resources combined!
