Chapter 34: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, The Horrifying Spell Skills!

In the commercial building, on the thirty-eighth floor.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion suddenly erupted in the luxurious office space as Jeremy kicked the door at the stairwell entrance off its hinges.

Covered in blood, Jeremy appeared at the stairwell, longsword in hand.

Behind him, the corridor was almost filled with corpses, with layers upon layers of monster bodies piling up. The mix of blood and foul stench was overwhelming, making one want to vomit.

"I've finally made it." Tossing a zombie head into a trash can nonchalantly, Jeremy's expression was calm, though his pupils had turned blood red. The surge of murderous intent and violence within him was indomitable.

What should have been a short distance of just a few floors took him half an hour to ascend. The monsters in the building, although not high-level, were numerous enough to have forcibly raised his level to 17.

Jeremy took a moment to calm his emotions, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

What appeared before him was a splendid hotel lobby.

The interior was lavishly decorated, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and expensive carpets on the floor, unmistakably a high-end hotel in Moonlight City.

A few monsters, previously the hotel's staff judging by their attire, were wandering in the lobby.

Jeremy easily dispatched them and followed the guidance of The Eye of Omniscience directly toward the reception room.

Before long, he found his target.

Pushing open the door, a luxurious room came into view.

Jeremy scanned the room, his gaze finally resting on a mahogany tea table in the reception area.

A shining silver treasure chest was prominently displayed on it.

"I've finally found it!" Jeremy sighed in relief, a smile appearing on his face.

After all the effort, it was all for this silver treasure chest.

He wondered what he would find inside this time.

Jeremy was somewhat expectant.

If he could get a few pieces of equipment, his strength would be enhanced once more.

After saying a silent prayer, Jeremy looked at the introduction of the silver treasure chest.

[Item]: Silver Treasure Chest

[Introduction]: Opening the chest requires spending 10 level 2 crystals or 1 level 3 crystal.

[Tip]: Sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" out loud before opening to guarantee a 100% chance of obtaining an intermediate skill book.

When Jeremy saw the tip following the introduction, his expression became somewhat stiff.

The reward from the chest didn't disappoint him, as it contained an intermediate skill book, far exceeding his expectations.

But the hidden mechanism was indeed peculiar.

Singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"? What the heck?

The thought of a grown man having to sing a nursery rhyme out loud made Jeremy want to find a hole to crawl into.

Was the game designer sick in the head? Why always come up with these mortifying mechanisms!

Jeremy clenched his fists.

If he ever found out who came up with this hidden mechanism, he would definitely make that person stand on their head and sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" a hundred times!

After leaving the reception room, Jeremy carefully inspected it twice.

Once he was sure there were no living people left, he killed all the monsters and then returned to the reception room.

Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, Jeremy took a deep breath to calm his emotions. Then, the room was filled with his emotionless voice as he reluctantly started to sing,

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."

At first, his singing was stiff and off-key, but as he continued, Jeremy surprisingly got into it.

Jeremy didn't rush to test his new skill. Instead. He took out the thirteen Level 3 Energy Crystals he had found in the building to upgrade the skill level of Ice Arrow Rain.

[Ding! You have used a Level 3 Energy Crystal!]

[Your skill "Ice Arrow Rain" has been upgraded to Level 7!]

Upon checking the attributes of Ice Arrow Rain again, Jeremy found that its magic damage had increased to 210%, the duration had been extended by 1 minute, and even the cooldown had been reduced to 12 minutes. The skill had received a significant boost overall.

"Not bad." Jeremy said with a smile on his face as he quickly headed to the stairwell to test the effects of his new skill.

"Roar!" This time, the monsters in the stairwell didn't immediately pounce upon seeing Jeremy but issued threatening growls instead.

Some monsters even squeezed backward, their eyes filled with fear at the sight of Jeremy.

After all, Jeremy had killed too many monsters in a short time, instilling fear even in them.

Jeremy didn't care what the monsters thought.

Upon seeing them, he immediately activated his skill.

A blue glow emanated from Jeremy's eyes.

"Ice Arrow Rain!"

The temperature in the air dropped suddenly! A chilly aura swirled around Jeremy, and clusters of ice crystals began to form in the air behind him. Soon, icy blue arrows rapidly took shape.

In the blink of an eye, a dense array of ice arrows appeared behind Jeremy, their cold aura making all the monsters shiver uncontrollably.

"Roar, roar, roar!!" Sensing danger, the monsters tried to flee but found themselves too cramped to move.

Left with no choice, they braced themselves and charged at Jeremy.

Jeremy pointed the tip of his sword towards the charging monster, his mind racing.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

The Ice Arrow Rain behind him flew out swiftly, cutting through the air and heading straight for the attacking monsters!

The group of monsters hadn't even reached Jeremy before their heads were pierced by the sharp ice arrows.

Bursts of blood exploded in an instant!

[You have killed a Level 11 Mutant Black Bear (Common), gaining 1139 XP!]

[You have killed a Level 12 Werewolf Warrior (Common), gaining 1470 XP!]

[You have killed a Level 15 Ghoul (Common), gaining 2115 XP!]

...

A series of kill notifications appeared.

In just the blink of an eye, the dozen or so monsters charging at Jeremy were wiped out completely!

The monsters that had narrowly escaped were terrified, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Jeremy.

This human was incredibly powerful!

He was nothing like the humans they had encountered before, not even the same species!

Despite being mentally prepared, Jeremy was also taken aback by the impressive performance of Ice Arrow Rain.

No wonder in many games, mages are referred to as artillery on the battlefield. This skill was just too powerful!

If he had been using dual swords, even if the monsters stood still and let him slash at them, Jeremy couldn't have finished the battle so quickly.

Moreover, after these Ice Arrow Rain were shot, new ice arrows quickly formed behind Jeremy. The level 7 Ice Arrow Rain would last for 90 seconds, during which he could launch several ice arrow attacks.

"Such a powerful skill!" Jeremy marveled inwardly.

It seems that going forward, it would be necessary to learn more mage skills and skills from other classes.

With the powerful passive ability of being 'Limitless,' Jeremy could learn skills from other classes, something many players couldn't replicate and a significant advantage for him.

Given this, he intended to maximize this advantage as much as possible.
