Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Teasing Malina, the Curse Strikes



Before long, John and Malina arrived at the entrance to the Secret Area.

Avis landed, and there were no elemental dragons in sight nearby.

John immediately activated the Secret Area.

Buzz!

The space around them rippled, and a rift appeared-this was the entrance to the Secret Area.

Curious, Malina leaned in to take a closer look, but it was a spatial passage, so she couldn't see anything inside.

John gestured politely and said, "After you."

Malina frowned in displeasure. "You first."

This was a fifth-tier Secret Area, with powerful beasts inside. She wasn't about to enter recklessly.

"Stay close," John warned as he entered the Secret Area with Avis.

Since Avis was his pet, it didn't take up one of the limited slots.

Malina followed closely behind.

After a brief sensation of spinning, the two of them found themselves in a desolate wasteland.

The wind howled, whipping up sand that stung their faces.

Malina frowned and stepped behind John, saying, "These are fifth-tier elemental dragons."

Surrounding them were massive elemental dragons, their bodies as large as hills.

Roar!

Before John could act, Avis let out a mighty roar and unleashed a breath of dragonfire, engulfing the elemental dragons below.

Screams and roars of agony filled the air.

Though Avis was only a fourth-tier creature, he was a legendary boss, making short work of these fifth-tier elemental dragons.

Even against a rare sixth-tier boss, Avis could hold his own.

Malina watched in awe, once again deeply impressed.

John's strength was already incredible, but she hadn't expected the black dragon Avis to be so overpowering as well.

A fourth-tier creature, effortlessly slaughtering fifth-tier elemental dragons.

This wasn't just a few levels' difference; it was a whole rank, over a hundred levels apart. Whoosh!

A wave of heat rolled over them as the area around them turned into a sea of flames-John had unleashed Hellfire!

After defending against the monster tide, his spirit attribute had skyrocketed, and the critical damage of Hellfire had reached a terrifying 600,000+, leaving the elemental dragons defenseless.

One after another, the dragons were annihilated, and Malina's experience points soared.

She had just reached level 100 in the fourth tier, but in just a short time, her experience points had doubled.

This leveling speed was insane!

She spotted a nearby dragon on the brink of death, summoned her staff, and launched a large fireball.

Boom!U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m

-5021

The damage was just over 5,000, not even a fraction of John's output.

Malina was crushed and quietly put her staff away. She realized that trying to wield fire magic in front of John was just humiliating herself.

John noticed the damage she dealt and was a bit surprised.

For a player with fourth-tier strength, even with a full set of epic gear, their spirit attribute wouldn't typically exceed 5,000 points. At that level, their magical attacks wouldn't even break through the magic resistance of a fifth-tier elemental dragon.

Yet, Malina managed to deal over 5,000 points of damage. Since she didn't have John's Plunder talent, this damage output was impressive.

It was likely related to her class.

John glanced at Malina and curiously asked, "I remember you're a Flame Mage. Does your class have any special abilities?"

Malina frowned, dissatisfied with this answer, but she could tell John genuinely didn't know.

Her eyes narrowed as she curiously asked, "What's the special trait of your Wrath of the Gods

Mage class?"

"That's my secret," John retorted, using her own words against her.

"Master, stop flirting. A sixth-tier elemental wyvern has appeared," Avis's voice interrupted,

sounding a bit frazzled.

Avis could handle a few elemental wyverns, but facing hundreds of them at once left him overwhelmed and struggling.

John shot a glance at Avis and activated Infinite Sword Array.

Buzz!

The air hummed with sword energy as countless blades rained down, flashing with terrifying damage numbers. The hundreds of elemental dragons stood no chance and were instantly

wiped out.

John possessed the dual talent of magic and physical attack, which granted him an additional 50% magic attack damage. As his spirit attribute increased, so did his physical attack power. "That was a physical attack skill? Aren't you supposed to be a mage?" Malina's voice rang out

in surprise from beside him.

She was once again deeply shaken. John's physical attack skills were even stronger than her magic attacks.

What kind of class did this guy have?

As John casually picked up the loot from the ground, he didn't seem concerned. The fact that

he had physical attack abilities was no longer a secret.

"And what were those black damage numbers just now?" Malina continued to ask.

This time, John didn't hide anything. He explained, "That's True Damage. It ignores all forms

of defense. If you master the power of elemental laws, you can also wield True Damage."

"True Damage?" Malina swallowed hard, feeling a deep yearning in her heart. Then,

surprised, she asked, "If you have True Damage, doesn't that mean you're already as powerful as a god?"

John paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, not yet. At the very least, I need to reach ninth-tier strength."

He couldn't even hold his own against a god's avatar, let alone a full-fledged god. Comprehending the power of laws was powerful, but his basic attributes were still too low, so

the boost wasn't as significant.

Only by reaching ninth-tier strength could he potentially rival a god.

Though even then, there would still be a gap.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, John's expression tightened in pain as a wave of heat surged within him.

His Fox Demon Curse was flaring up at the worst possible time.

He couldn't help but glance at Malina beside him.

Malina hadn't noticed John's change; she was still pondering over what he had just explained.

Gulp!

John swallowed hard, struggling to suppress the rising heat inside him. Malina was an absolute stunner, both in looks and figure. Her outfit-a red battle robe and

black stockings-added a level of allure that was hard for anyone to resist.

John fought to maintain his composure and said, "I've got something to take care of. Be

careful on your own!"

Before Malina could react, he mentally connected with Death Land and, along with Avis,

disappeared.

"Hey!" Malina called out in alarm. This was a fifth-tier hero Secret Area, and she was only at

the fourth tier. She couldn't even handle regular elemental dragons, let alone the powerful elemental wyverns.

"Damn it! You could've at least left Avis here with me!" she cursed angrily, feeling utterly abandoned.
