Chapter 8: Chapter8-Wanderer

"Roar!!"

Monsters in the parking lot roared in anger.

Countless walking corpses, some wielding damaged greatswords or brandishing shields, charged towards him.

But standing atop the ruins, John had the high ground, and their sluggish pace meant they were hit by his magic and turned into experience points before they could even get close.

They stood no chance against him.

As monster after monster fell unwillingly,

It wasn't long before a white light of leveling up shone again around John!

[Your level has increased to lv3, granting you 10 free attribute points!]

[Current Level: lv3]

[Exp: 0/10000]

John allocated all his attribute points to spirit, boosting his strength once more.

Using Aquakinesis, he conjured a water arrow and hurled it at the head of an unfortunate walking corpse.

Instantly, a huge red damage number rose from the corpse's head!

"-1038!!"

John's damage had now broken the 1000-point mark.

Even a level 8 walking corpse with just 1600 HP couldn't withstand his second attack!

John's monster-slaying speed increased yet again.

For the first time, he experienced the joy of being a magus, turning into a human artillery, his spells firing off like a machine gun!

[You have slain "Ghost Cat lv7," earning 721 Exp!]

[You have slain "Walking Corpse lv8," earning 856 Exp!]

[You have slain "Ghoul lv9," earning 1070 Exp!]

...

[Your level has increased to lv4, granting you 10 attribute points!]

...

[Your level has increased to lv5, granting you 10 attribute points!]

...

Before long, John was enveloped in the glow of leveling up twice in quick succession.

His level had now reached lv5.

Without a second thought, he immediately put on the Hound Paw Necklace, then opened his attribute panel to check his stats.

[Class]: All-Class Magus (god-tier)

[HP]: 500 Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

[MP]: 2000

[Attributes]: Strength 29, Stamina 30, Spirit 100, Speed 38

[Talent]: Divine Favor Tome (SSS-level)

As the voice faded, two men and a woman slowly emerged from the shadows.

One of the men was tall and burly, with a rough appearance, clad in heavy armor, carrying a giant sword - likely the one who had just spoken.

The other was lean and tall, dressed in a magus robe, with a sharp, monkey-like face, holding a cyan staff.

The last, a woman of average appearance, draped in a black cloak, holding a black bow, was probably the one who had just attacked him.

The burly man spoke arrogantly, "Kid, seeing as you're a newly awakened student, I advise you to hand over your stuff quickly. Don't even think about resisting; your little talent is useless here!"

The lean magus sneered at John, "Let me tell you clearly, all three of us are level 10 iron-tier peak awakeners. In this dungeon, there's no one we can't kill!"

John's gaze swept over the three, forming a basic judgment of them in his mind.

He chuckled coldly, "A few Wanderers who can't even reach silver-tier, acting like experts in front of me?"

"Wanderers" are bandits who roam dungeons and wilderness, preying on others for equipment and riches through brute force.

These people generally have mediocre talent and only dare to bully newcomers in low-level dungeons.

John had seen plenty of such scum.

John's words pierced the trio's hearts like a sharp knife, and their faces instantly contorted with displeasure.

Indeed, if they had sufficient strength and talent, who would willingly linger in such low-level dungeons?

Especially the lean magus, who was already envious of John's talent, couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing John's words.

"You'll pay for your words, kid!" he shouted angrily, raising his staff.

But before he could act, John preempted with his own attack.

Pyrokinesis!

A massive fire serpent, several meters long and as thick as a barrel, instantly materialized in the air, like an enraged fire dragon lunging ferociously at the lean magus!

The trio was stunned by the enormous fire snake hurtling towards them.

"This... This is Pyrokinesis?!" exclaimed the female archer in shock.

The lean magus, now utterly terrified, was speechless.

Being a magus himself, he recognized this as the basic Pyrokinesis.

But why was this kid's Pyrokinesis so massive, and how could it be instant cast? Wasn't he just awakened?

Caught in his moment of hesitation, it was already too late for him to dodge.

As the giant fire serpent pounced towards him, terror filled his eyes.

"Save me!!" the lean magus screamed.

"Watch out!" The burly man bellowed, stepping forward to raise his giant sword in front of the lean magus, executing a warrior's blocking skill.

The next moment, the giant fire serpent collided with the man's sword!

"Boom!!"

With a thunderous explosion, the burly man was instantly engulfed by the fire serpent!

The violent heat wave sent the lean magus and the woman flying backward.

"Aaahhh!!!" The burly man's agonized scream echoed through the night sky but vanished in the blink of an eye as he was instantly turned to ash by the intense flames.

All that remained was a crimson number slowly fading in the air.

"-2135!"
