Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Boss? That's It?



When Alex was about to upgrade his S-level skills, he received a system prompt.

"Do you want to spend 10 skill points to upgrade?"

Hearing the system prompt, Alex touched his chin and contemplated. After a skill is upgraded to S level, it costs 10 points for each level, requiring 100 points to upgrade an S-level skill to the full level.

After some mental calculation, Alex realized it would take a total of 1,730 skill points to upgrade the C-level skill of Resisting the Ring of Fire to the full S-level.

After finishing the calculation, Alex was a bit stunned.

"Damn, it's too luxurious. Only by upgrading to 2 levels can I get a full S-level skill!"

Fortunately, no one heard his shameless remarks, or a senior mage might have come to beat him to death.

What does it mean to upgrade to level 2 to get a full S-level skill? Many high-level mages spend their whole lives never being able to have a full-level S-level skill. Alex had it when he was at level 3, and he wasn't satisfied yet.

After thinking for less than 10 seconds, Alex chose to max out the Blazing Barrier.

After adding some points, the damage of the Blazing Barrier was greatly increased.

**[Skill]:** Blazing Barrier (S level) lvmax

**Casting Time:** 5 seconds

**Cost:** 30,000 mana

**Effect:** Open the barrier and release a large amount of flames to attack units within 30 meters, causing 100,000 + intelligence damage. Enemies covered by the shield will be automatically knocked back, lasting 30 seconds with a cooldown of 5 minutes.

After the skill reached full level, Alex found that the duration of the skill hadn't changed, but the health of the protective shield had been greatly increased, and the cooldown time was reduced to 5 minutes.

It caused 100,000 points of damage per second. Even if it was reduced by 90%, it would still be 10,000 points. Alex did not believe any monster in the Goblin Forest could withstand it for 1 second.

While Alex was working on this, Tom had been diligently searching the bodies. After a while, Tom came over, handed the copper coins to Alex, and cursed, "Goblins are really a bunch of poor creatures. Over 100 monsters dropped only about 200 copper coins, and not a single piece of equipment."

Hearing Tom's complaints, Alex felt the same way. Although the Goblin Forest is the easiest of all the novice abysses, it also has the lowest drop rate. Only the final boss can drop equipment; all other mobs are useless.

After cleaning the battlefield, Alex and Tom rushed to the camp where the boss was located without stopping. The massive wave of monsters just now was the most challenging level before the boss. After clearing the monsters, the next challenge was the Goblin Forest Boss.

While others were still trying to clear monsters, Alex had already arrived in front of the boss.

Arriving at the boss camp, Alex looked at a majestic Goblin nearly two meters tall, holding a mace, and standing in the center of the camp.

**[Goblin Warrior-Kylo]** lv5

**HP:** 12000

**Attack:** 120

**Defense:** 13

**Goblin Summoning:** Summon 5 Goblin Warriors, 10 Goblin Rogues, and 10 Goblin Throwers to join the battle.

**Goblin Slam:** Swing the mace, causing 150% damage with a chance to stun.

The boss's health is 10 times that of ordinary mobs, and it has two skills. With an attack of up to 120 points, if Goblin Slam is launched and a critical hit occurs, the softer members of the team could be instantly killed.

If an ordinary team wanted to defeat the boss, they would rely on terrain and kiting tactics to slowly wear it down. Alex was obviously not among them.

He walked about 50 meters away from the boss, stopped, and began to test the boss's aggro range. After taking a few steps forward, just 40 meters away, the boss suddenly noticed Alex, roared angrily, and charged toward them.

"Another group of humans here to die, watch me tear you apart!"

Seeing this, Alex did not hesitate and began to release the Blazing Barrier. Five seconds later, the Goblin Warrior was close, but fortunately, the skill had been released.

Once the spell was released, a sea of fire appeared within 30 meters, with Alex at the center. In the middle of the sea of fire was a protective shield emitting golden light, with Alex and Tom inside.

The charging Goblin Warrior suddenly felt a heat wave around him and widened his eyes.

"How can a little trick fool the brave Kylo? Show up, my soldiers!"

The boss felt something was wrong and activated Goblin Summoning, summoning a group of minions. After releasing the skill, the boss was about to say something, but the oncoming flames choked his words.

-10350

-10220

Two seconds later, both the boss and the summoned soldiers had turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

[You killed the Goblin Warrior-Kylo and successfully cleared the Goblin Forest. This trial took a total of 13 minutes and ranked 4th on the ranking list.]

[You reached level 4 and gained 1000 skill points.]

After killing the boss, Alex rose to level 4, and was still 2,700 experience points away from level 5.

Once the boss died, it was time for an exciting loot session. Alex rummaged through the boss's body and found two pieces of equipment: a pair of shoes and a gauntlet.

**[Goblin Straw Sandals]** (Whiteboard)

**Wear Level:** 2

**Attributes:** Defense +2, HP +50

**[Goblin Gauntlets]** (Whiteboard)

**Wear Level:** 2

**Attributes:** Defense +2, HP +50

Alex had no use for the basic equipment that only added defense and health, so he gave it to Tom. Equipment is divided into levels, from low to high: whiteboard, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, dark gold, brilliant, and colorful. According to legend, there are higher-level artifacts, but no one currently possesses them.

The two pieces of equipment would not be worth much if sold, so Alex handed them directly to Tom. When Alex offered the equipment, Tom wanted to refuse, but Alex said, "Take it, I still count on you to fight monsters for me in the future."

Tom realized Alex said that on purpose. When Tom was inside the protective shield, he saw its health value—a shield value of 50,000. Even a level 30 shield warrior with gold equipment and full physical strength might not have 50,000 health points.

But Tom was sensible and didn't ask any questions. No matter how strong Alex became, he would always be his best friend.

Before leaving the abyss, Alex searched the surroundings meticulously, ensuring nothing was left behind. The first article of the mage's code reads: When entering the abyss, scrape off a layer of skin, and if a wild goose passes by, pluck its feathers.

Last night, when Alex saw the Mage Code, he thought he must have misread it. Was this the mage code or the bandit code? It was too barbaric. But he liked it!

After searching, Alex didn't find anything useful and stepped into the portal a little disappointed.

When Alex and Tom reappeared on the playground, everyone was shocked.

"Look, it's Alex and Tom. They came out alive," yelled the students who were closer to the portal.

"What does it matter that they came out alive? They must have used escape scrolls to get out. What's the fuss?" A student who hadn't awakened his profession curled his lips.

Those knowledgeable about professionals retorted, "Open your eyes and look. The rankings have changed. Fourth place is Alex and Tom. They cleared the Trial Abyss."

These words were like a bomb, and many people looked up in shock after hearing them.

"A useless mage and a shield warrior with no output cleared the trial?"
