Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Successful Advancement, Mastery of Death Land



Buzz!

Several cold flashes gleamed, and the black-robed elder let out a series of miserable screams.

-4592

-4604

-4587

...

The black-robed elder was an undead mage, and his physical defense was inherently low. John's Assassin skills dealt terrifying damage.

His health plummeted instantly. He glared wide-eyed at John, full of resentment, before collapsing to the ground.

[You have slain a level 60 epic boss, Undead Sorcerer, and gained 1680 experience points.]

[Plunder talent activated: Spirit +50, Skill Points +10, Spell Crit +1. You have acquired the basic spell Dark Orb.]

[You have completed the advancement quest, successfully advancing to Tier 2 Wrath of the Gods Mage and Tier 2 Phantom Assassin.]

[Your level has increased: Spirit +4, Strength +3, Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +12, Skill Points +2.]

[Your level has increased: Spirit +4, Strength +3, Agility +2, Free Attribute Points +12, Skill Points +2.]

...

The continuous notifications displayed John had plundered a substantial number of attribute points from the black-robed elder and had gained a dark-type basic spell, Dark Orb.

He also successfully completed his second career advancement, raising his level directly to 35, just below Tracy, placing him second on the leaderboard.

With his breakthrough to Tier 2, he gained an additional 12 base attributes with each level-up.

Along with the hidden class bonuses, his strength saw another significant boost.

"Old man, was your advancement quest to kill an epic boss?" Tracy asked, astonished, noticing John's level increase.

John nodded and looked at the items dropped by the undead sorcerer.

There were 30 skill stones, 100 enhancement stones, 10 first-level magic stones, and a black diamond-shaped jade stone.

No equipment had dropped.

"A talent upgrade stone!" John exclaimed, his gaze fixed on the black diamond-shaped jade.

[Basic Talent Upgrade Stone: Increases the level of a talent. It can raise an A-level or lower talent by one level.]

John was thrilled. Talent upgrade stones were rare and precious, with only an extremely low chance of dropping from epic bosses and above.

Even in the later stages of the game, they were highly sought after and scarce.

The basic talent upgrade stone could elevate a talent below A-level by one tier.

John had three choices.

His B-level Wrath of the Gods talent, B-level Spell Combo talent, or B-level Physical Damage talent.

Since Wrath of the Gods talent could be leveled up by killing monsters, John decided not to waste the stone on it.

He also disregarded the B-level Physical Damage talent.

With his SSS-level Plunder talent, which allowed him to plunder attributes, he didn't lack physical damage.

Upgrading the B-level Spell Combo talent seemed the most beneficial.

If he could acquire a magic damage talent later, his mage's damage would be explosive.

Having made up his mind, John used the basic talent upgrade stone to enhance the Spell Combo talent.

[You have used the basic talent upgrade stone. Spell Combo talent has been upgraded to A- level.]

[Spell Combo: A-level talent, 60% chance to trigger a combo when casting spells.]

Curious, John stepped back and cast Wind Blade.

Whoosh!

The powerful Wind Blade struck the corpse but did no damage.

-0

A damage number appeared, but the corpse remained unaffected.

John's attack couldn't break through the man's defense and only forced a reduction of 1 HP. It

seemed the man's HP was depleted, but he was not entirely dead.

John had a hunch that this body might still have some use.

"I need to find a way to take him," John thought. He tried storing the body in his inventory or

Storage Ring, but to no avail.

This confirmed his suspicion that the man was still alive.

As living entities couldn't be stored in those spaces.

He couldn't very well carry a corpse around everywhere.

Then it struck him: Death Land!John recalled the hidden, unopened map at the Temple of the

Night.

The last time, he hadn't had the strength to refine the Death Land Token.

But now, having completed his second job advancement and significantly boosted his

attributes, he wondered if he could do it.

Taking out the Death Land Token, he attempted to refine it again.

This time, there was no prompt indicating failure.

Whoosh!

A light enveloped him, and his HP and MP began to drain. Startled, John realized that the token was absorbing his HP and MP to refine it.

The rate of consumption was 10 points per second for both HP and MP. Without enough healing potions, he wasn't sure how much it would take to refine the

token.To be safe, he messaged Sini, trading for 100 basic HP recovery potions and 100 basic

MP recovery potions.

Each basic potion restored 10 points per second for 10 seconds, perfectly offsetting the token's

absorption rate.

The potion's duration could stack, but the recovery amount could not.

John carefully monitored his HP and MP, taking a potion whenever either dropped below half.

...

[You have refined the Death Land Token. You now control Death Land. The token cannot be

traded or dropped.]

Notification appeared.

John calculated that only 10,000 HP and 10,000 MP were consumed for the process, meaning

he could have succeeded without the potions.

He studied the token and felt a deeper connection to Death Land.

He could sense hundreds of powerful entities, all imprisoned by the dark elves, representing

various major races.
