Chapter 32: Master-Level Operation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the rules of Second World, if a mage was attacked during the casting process, it would prolong the gathering time of magic energy, which was to extend the casting speed.
In his previous life, Lu Yang had personally tested that every time a mage was attacked during the casting process, the casting time would be extended by 1 second, up to a maximum of 3 times. If it was an elite monster, the casting time would be halved.
The reason why Lu Yang dared to solo a level 15 elite monster, the Troll Shaman, at level 7 was that the Troll Shaman only knew long-range magic attacks and did not know how to fight in close combat.
Seeing Walkins create flames again, Lu Yang stood on the spot and chanted an incantation. At the speed of 0.7 seconds per shot, he cast four Flame Blasts in a row, causing Walkins to be unable to condense fire elements.
After 3.5 seconds, the Fireball in Walkins' hand finally took shape. Although the speed of the Fireball in the air was less than 0.5 seconds, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to dodge it, Lu Yang saw Walkins' casting hand gesture. When Walkins raised his hand, Lu Yang easily dodged the Fireball.
Unlike a player's Fireball, the Troll Shaman's Fireball dealt 370 damage. Lu Yang's HP was less than 100. He would be killed if he was hit.
However, how could Lu Yang, who had 10 years of experience as a level 200 great mage in his previous life, be hit by the Troll Shaman's spell? With his technique, killing the Troll Shaman was child's play.
After continuously attacking for two minutes, the Troll Shaman's HP was reduced by one-tenth. At this time, Lu Yang only had 300 mana left. He dodged the Troll Shaman's Fireball again and took out an instant mana recovery potion from his bag.
Instant mana recovery potion (small)
Effect: Restores 500 MP.
Cooldown: 2 minutes
This potion was left behind by the Infant Golden Dragon when Lu Yang killed it. However, there were not many bottles. Including the potions dropped by the Half-Orc Warrior, he had 6 bottles of instant healing potion and 10 bottles of instant mana recovery potion.
Previously, Lu Yang had not used it because he had saved it for the Troll Shaman. After drinking it, Lu Yang's mana recovered to 805/850 points and he continued to attack the Troll Shaman.
After 20 minutes, the Troll Shaman only had less than one-tenth of its HP left.
"Lowly bug, you've agitated me. You'll pay for this." The Troll Shaman's green skin suddenly turned red, and his body seemed to burn.
System Notification: [Troll Shaman has entered Bloodthirst.]
Bloodthirst was a skill that belonged to the trolls. After activating Bloodthirst, one would be immune to all control skills, and their spellcasting and attack speed would increase by 50%.
Lu Yang had already expected this situation before coming, so he was not afraid at all. When he was fighting Walkins just now, Lu Yang gradually moved towards the red circular house beside Walkins.
Seeing that he was only two meters away from the house, facing Walkins' Fireball attacks that were released one after another every second, Lu Yang displayed the aura of the top fire mage as he did in his previous life. He strolled leisurely as he easily dodged the Fireballs fired by the other party while walking to the side of the house. Then, he dodged to the side of the round house.
Walkins lost his line of sight and could not use magic. He roared and chased after Lu Yang. However, when he saw Lu Yang, Lu Yang, who had been waiting for him, did not wait for him to cast a spell. He calculated the time and cast a Flame Burst.
It was as if Walkins had crashed into a Flame Burst. With a bang, Walkins was hit in the head.
"244." (Critical)
Walkins was already low on HP and immediately cast a spell in a rage. However, before he could cast it, Lu Yang quickly ran around the circular house. One second later, when Walkins was about to cast a Fireball, Lu Yang had already circled to an invisible spot two meters away. Walkins' Fireball could only passively hit the wall of the house.
Bang!
The wooden walls of the house burst into flames.
Walkins continued to search for Lu Yang, but Lu Yang was running around the circular house. Walkins could not hit Lu Yang at all. On the contrary, every time Walkins finished casting his spell and chased after Lu Yang, he would be hit in the head by Lu Yang's Flame Blast, who was hiding at the side of the circular house.
Just like that, Lu Yang brought Walkins around the house for more than 20 rounds. Walkins only had 200 HP left. As long as Lu Yang cast Flame Blast two more times, he would be able to kill Walkins. However, at this moment, Walkins did not continue chasing Lu Yang. Instead, he stayed where he was and muttered to himself.
Lu Yang was hiding at the side of the round house, waiting. Walkins still didn't chase after him even though Lu Yang had fired Flame Blast twice and missed. Just as Lu Yang was curious, he suddenly sensed an irritable fire element in the atmosphere.
"Great Lord of Flames, please accept the faith of your humblest servant. Please grant me the flame to burn everything…"
Lu Yang couldn't be more familiar with this incantation in his previous life. This was the secondary forbidden spell used after the Demon God's Heart leveled up, Meteor Fall.
The incantation lasts for 10 seconds, after which a huge fiery meteor falls from the sky, dealing massive damage to enemies within a 10 by 10 radius.
Putting aside the damage of Meteor Fall, just the Troll Shaman Walkins's 300 magic damage alone was enough to kill Lu Yang.
Walkins was in a Bloodthirsty state, and the incantation would only take 5 seconds to be cast. At this moment, 2 seconds had passed. Thinking of this, Lu Yang could not care less and ran toward Walkins.
By the time he arrived in front of Walkins, more than a second had passed. There were less than two seconds left. The dark clouds in the sky had already begun to gather and turn fiery red.
Lu Yang looked at Walkins, who had a sinister smile on his face and did not panic at all. He immediately gathered the fire elements in his hand. Just as the dark clouds in the sky were about to crack and the meteor was about to appear, Lu Yang shot Walkins in the head with a Flame Blast.
"238." (Critical)
The incantation in Walkins's mouth stopped abruptly. His face was filled with disbelief and unwillingness as he fell to the ground.
System Notification: [You have killed Troll Shaman Walkins.]
[You have received 5,482 EXP ( including 2,741 EXP bonus for going above level). ]
[Your level has increased by 1. ]
Lu Yang was about to level up, but he did not expect Walkins to give him such a high amount of EXP, allowing him to reach level 8. However, this was not the main point. Lu Yang ran to Walkins' corpse excitedly and looked at the red mark on the ground that was emitting flames. He picked it up with both hands.
System Notification: [You have obtained a strange mark.]
This was one of the upgrade materials for the Demon God's Heart, the Demon God's Mark. It was a fragment that had fallen to the ground after the Demon God was defeated in ancient times. Although it was the fragment with the lowest energy, it was still a powerful item that could trigger a secondary forbidden spell.
