Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Talent Enhancement, AOE Attack Magic



[Kill Flame Spirit Foxes, gain 10 experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, gain 1 point of Spirit]

[Accumulate 100 Killing Points, Plunder talent special effect 1 enhanced]

[Kill ordinary monsters, 20% chance to Plunder their attribute points]

The notification flashed.

John was overjoyed. With the enhanced Plunder talent, the chance to plunder attribute points had doubled!

He could now gain the 500 Spirit points even faster.

Both the Plunder talent and the Wrath of the Gods talent can up the level

And seemed to have limitless growth potential.

The next Plunder talent enhancement required 1000 Killing Points,

while the Wrath of the Gods talent needed 31 more first-tier monsters to upgrade.

Feeling motivated, John quickened his pace in killing the Flame Spirit Foxes.

Meanwhile, Sini was struggling. She couldn't lure the monsters fast enough to keep up with John's killing speed.

Another five Flame Spirit Foxes fell.

Sini collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. "Boss, can you slow down a bit? I can't keep

up."

The rapid increase in experience points was satisfying, but running back and forth was exhausting.

John glanced at Sini and said calmly, "You have two choices: keep luring the monsters, or I can send you back to the novice village for free."

"You!" Sini gritted her teeth. This Godslayer was a devil who didn't understand pity.

"Damn this jerk!" she cursed inwardly, dragging her tired body to continue luring the monsters.

Fortunately, her level had increased to 4, significantly boosting her Agility. Luring the monsters was no longer dangerous.

Sini moved nimbly, weaving through the dense forest to attract as many Flame Spirit Foxes as possible.

At one point, she managed to lure ten Flame Spirit Foxes, thinking it would trouble

Godslayer, but he handled them effortlessly.

Monster! This guy was definitely a monster!

Realizing Godslayer's immense strength, Sini stopped trying to play tricks.

Boom!

Suddenly, a fireball exploded in front of her, sending her flying and nearly killing her with over 100 points of damage.

Sini Startled, and saw a large Flame Spirit Fox engulfed in flames glaring at her.

A boss!

She turned and fled, shouting, "Boss, save me! It's the leader boss!"

John's eyes lit up with excitement. Finally, another boss.

Last time, he had plundered the Wind Blade skill from the Green Snake boss.

He wondered what he would plunder this time.

The Flame Spirit Fox boss, along with seven Flame Spirit Foxes, was hot on Sini's heels.

John quickly intervened, launching a fireball at the Flame Spirit Fox boss.

Boom!

-231

A significant damage number appeared, and the Flame Spirit Fox boss let out a wail of agony, its eyes filled with terror.

A single spell from this human had knocked out a quarter of its health.

The Flame Spirit Foxes abandoned Sini, turning their attention to John.

Whoosh!

A massive fireball appeared and instantly shot towards John.

Boom!

-54

An explosion followed, with the heat wave sweeping over John, reducing his health by 54 points, nearly half of his total.

The Flame Spirit Fox boss was at the first tier of level 10, capable of casting advanced beginner-level spells like the large Fireball.

John couldn't afford to be careless. The gap between their levels and tiers was substantial. Sini, seeing Godslayer dodging awkwardly, felt a pang of concern, "Could he be in danger?" She quickly caught herself, thinking, "Wait, why am I worried about him? I should hope both he and the Flame Spirit Fox boss take each other out."

Whoosh!

Flames surged as the Flame Spirit Fox boss cast another spell.

Sini, gripping her dagger tightly, hesitated about whether to help Godslayer.

At that moment, a wind blade whistled through the air, hitting the Flame Spirit Fox boss with

precision.

Boom!

-230

The flames surged, and the Flame Spirit Fox boss was stunned. Its spell had been forcibly interrupted.

"How...how did he do that?" Sini was shocked, recognizing John's deliberate skill from her

training in Ancient Martial Arts.

Skill intercepting a magic attack.

Skill interrupting the enemy's spellcasting.

This Godslayer was more terrifying than she had imagined.

Aron had provoked this guy and would likely pay a heavy price.

Sini, enslaved for years and filled with hatred for Aron, eagerly anticipated a direct confrontation between Godslayer and Aron.

Boom! Boom!

The Flame Spirit Fox boss was repeatedly struck by two spells, its health plummeting to

nearly nothing.

"Screech!"

With a final cry, the Flame Spirit Fox boss's flames extinguished, and it fell to the ground,

dropping two items-a staff and a pair of boots.

[Killed Level 10 Flame Spirit Fox boss, gained 20 experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, acquired skill Fire Rain]

[Fire Rain: Level 1, deals fire magic damage equal to 30% of spirit to targets within range;

consumes 15 mana, 10-second cooldown]

Area damage magic!

John was thrilled to have plundered an area damage spell.

Compared to single-target skills, area damage spells were far rarer.

In his previous life, even a basic area damage skill book was worth 10,000 gold coins, and it

was hard to find.

John never expected to get an area damage spell before leaving the beginner's village.

In addition, the Flame Spirit Fox boss dropped two pieces of equipment. [Flame Staff: Common, usable by a Tier 1 mage; +10 magic damage, +5 fire magic damage]

[Wind Boots: Common, usable by a Tier 1 profession; +7 speed]

Both items were of common quality for Tier 1,

but the Flame Staff added two attributes. Unfortunately, John couldn't use it right now.

Sini approached, her eyes longing as she saw the Wind Boots' attributes.

For an assassin, speed and physical damage were the most crucial attributes. John ignored her desire and stored both the Flame Staff and Wind Boots, saying, "Stop

slacking, keep pulling monsters."

"You!" Sini stomped her foot, gritting her teeth. "I curse you to be single forever!"

She had never met someone like this before. Usually, any man who saw her had ulterior

motives,

but Godslayer was different.

It wasn't that he was playing hard to get; it seemed like he was just intentionally giving her a

hard time.

"Does he know who I am?" Sini wondered, glancing warily at Godslayer before continuing to

lure monsters.

John didn't notice her change in expression.

He had six unassigned skill points from his last level-up, perfect for upgrading Fire Rain.

[Fire Rain: Level 7, deals fire magic damage equal to 60% of spirit to targets within range; consumes 15 mana, 10-second cooldown]

With his high spirit attribute, the damage of the Level 7 Fire Rain reached 256 points.

Two casts of Fire Rain could wipe out a group of Flame Spirit Foxes.

John's efficiency in killing the Flame Spirit Foxes increased dramatically, leaving Sini

exhausted as she continuously attracted more.

...

[Successfully killed 100 Tier 1 monsters, Wrath of the Gods talent upgraded to Level D, now

30% cooldown reduction]

[Next upgrade requirement: Kill 1000 Tier 1 monsters, Wrath of the Gods can be upgraded to

Level C]

Notifications flashed.

The Wrath of the Gods talent had been upgraded to Level D, providing a 30% cooldown

reduction.

Fireball and Wind Blade now had a cooldown of 2.1 seconds, and Fire Rain had a cooldown of 7

seconds.

Each level-up in Wrath of the Gods provided a 10% cooldown reduction. John couldn't

imagine how powerful this talent would be at SSS level.

The next upgrade required killing 1000 Tier 1 monsters, which wasn't a problem for him.

After dealing with two more Flame Spirit Foxes, he looked at the stunned Sini and said, "Keep

going."

Sini, with a resigned expression, spread her hands and said, "There are no more." John realized that the surrounding Flame Spirit Foxes had been cleared out. His spirit

attribute had increased by another 7 points, and his agility by 2 points, bringing his spirit attribute to 164.

He was closer to the 500 spirit points needed to break Dino's curse. Unfortunately, there weren't enough Flame Spirit Foxes, and their respawn rate couldn't keep

up with John's killing speed.

The area did have packs of Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves, but they were known for their

strength and agility, which wouldn't help in plundering spirit attributes. "Godslayer," Sini said with a mischievous smile, "I just got word that the Wind and Cloud

Guild is hunting a boss. Should we go 'help'?"

She emphasized the word "help" with a hint of sarcasm.
