Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Fourth-Tier Profession, Swordsmanship Mastery



Tracy clung tightly to John, her face pressed against his back as they soared through the skies. The exhilaration of flying freely, with the vast expanse of the world beneath them, began to ease the burden that had been weighing on her heart.

She wanted to shout out in joy, but when she opened her mouth, the fierce wind rushed in, making it impossible to make a sound.

Avis had long been left far behind, his massive form now out of sight.

Only then did John begin to slow down.

Flying with the sword consumed magical energy, and after over half an hour of soaring at full speed, he had used up half of his magic reserves.

With over 350,000 magic points, John could only sustain full-speed flight for about an hour. But that was more than sufficient for now.

Tracy's face was flushed with excitement as she exclaimed, "Old man, this feels amazing!"Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

As she gazed at the vast landscape around her and reached up as if she could touch the clouds, the heaviness in her heart was completely lifted.

John nodded in agreement. It was no wonder that humans had always yearned for the sky- this feeling of flying freely was truly intoxicating.

"Where's Avis?" he wondered aloud, looking back. There was no sign of Avis.

As his usual speed. He should have caught up by now.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the distance, followed by an angry dragon's bellow. It was Avis.

"Tracy, hold on tight," John cautioned. They were deep within the Eternal Forest now, and he was worried about Sini and Avis's safety.

A streak of sword light flashed across the sky as John's speed increased once more.

Boom! Boom!

The air ahead was filled with explosions, and flames burst through the clouds. It was a group of fifth-tier flame gryphons, attacking Avis.

"Orcs!" John was surprised to see that the gryphons were being ridden by orcs.

They also of the fifth tier.

Although Avis was powerful, he was only at the early stages of the fourth tier. Surrounded by so many flame gryphons, he was quickly overwhelmed and forced to flee in desperation. "Master, help!" Avis cried out, having spotted John and urgently calling for assistance.

John raised his hand, unleashing a surge of magical energy. Fire Meteor Shower and Lightning Chain were cast simultaneously.

Boom! Boom!

Lightning crackled, and several flame gryphons, along with their orc riders, were instantly annihilated.

As John's power, he can handle five-tier monster easily.

"There's a powerful enemy here!" roared one of the orc leaders, his gaze locking onto the newly arrived John.

This orc leader was a fifth-tier epic boss.

That a formidable force even among the orcs.

John quickly regrouped with Avis, pulling Tracy onto Avis's back. With the Sword of Divinity and Demons in hand, he activated the skill, Infinite Sword Array.

Whoosh!

The sword energy hummed, and a fierce wind howled as multiple sword beams shot out, enveloping the surrounding flame gryphons and orcs.

The Sword Immortal skills, with their added magical damage, combined with John's immense strength and spirit attributes, delivered devastating critical hits. The flame gryphons and orcs were obliterated in an instant.

[Killed Level 210 Flame Gryphon, gained1010 experience points.]

[Killed Level 220 Orc, gained 1210 experience points.]

[Plunder talent activated, attack speed+1.]

[Plunder talent activated, spirit +1.]

...

The notifications flashed continuously as the area was swiftly cleared of enemies, leaving only two epic-grade flame gryphons and one epic-grade orc leader.

The orc leader, now filled with terror, glared at John and roared, "Who are you to dare trespass into Orc territory?"

John had no interest in wasting words. With a swift movement of his longsword, a sword beam shot forth, piercing the sky and heading straight for the orc leader.

It was the Sword Immortal's single-target long-range attack skill, Flying Sword Strike.

"No..." The orc leader screamed in terror, but his cry was cut short as the sword beam pierced through his body, causing a massive damage number to appear above his head.

Upgrading intermediate skills required 100 skill points per level.

Fortunately, with the skill points he had amassed, along with the more than seven thousand

skill stones in his possession, he had more than enough to push his abilities to their limits.

John used his skill points to upgrade his skills in a frenzy.

With these notifications flashing, John's skills all advanced to the first level of the advanced tier, including his Water Mist Clone, which now carried 12% of John's base attributes. The most surprising development was the Sword Control skill, which, upon advancing to the advanced tier, granted John a new ability.

Sword Control. This skill enabled him to control his sword remotely, attacking enemies from

a distance.

This was another technique straight out of the legends of sword immortals.

Sword Control acted like a normal attack, but it was enhanced by Sword Control, increasing its

attack power by 31%.

With his Dual Mastery talent and 100% physical critical rate, Sword Control could inflict

terrifying damage of up to 130,000 points.

The only drawback was the mana cost-500 points per second, comparable to casting a high-

level spell.

But Sword Control had its strengths; it was continuous, flexible, and could slay enemies from

the shadows.

"John, have you reached the four-star level?" Sini asked curiously, noticing that John had been standing still for a while.

John smiled slightly and activated Sword Control.

Buzz!

The Sword of Divinity and Demons suddenly broke free from John's hand, whistling through

the air toward a nearby berserk tree monster.

Slash!

134,450

A terrifying damage number appeared, and the berserk tree monster was instantly slain. Even more astonishing, the longsword spun in the air, then flew back into John's hand.
