Chapter 31

Thank you to the book friend Longjian Tianxiaxing for the tip, ~~

"God said: Injury."

"Whoosh~ Smack!"

Accompanied by the incantation of "Causing Light Wounds," a silver beam of light and a short crossbow bolt wrapped in golden light simultaneously struck the Wogin priest who had yet to stand up from the ground. Not long ago, this guy had just used a water and bread combo to replenish his almost depleted magic points.

-33 and a massive -146 damage simultaneously appeared above the Wogin priest's head.

The second one directly sent the Wogin priest back to the Temple of the Gold Coin Goddess—obviously from the short crossbow bolt embedded in the priest's throat.

—This was a critical hit to the throat, with double damage bonus!!!

Although priests are not as frail as mages and warlocks, a 10th-level Wogin priest's health points are usually not much over 160. This is the sacrifice made after choosing to worship the Goddess Wogin:

Sacrificing some constitution to gain an increase in gold and wealth during adventures, so the role of Wogin's priests in the party is usually that of a healer and mascot.

Alpha and Changqing naturally targeted the easiest to kill mascot first.

In fact, this Wogin priest only had 156 health points. Alpha and Changqing's combined attack sent this thin-skinned and low-blooded guy back home with ease.

"Damn!"

The nearest rogue to Alpha cursed and charged at him, intending to take out this "waste of space" first.

Relying on speed and reaction, plus the element of surprise, a rogue launching a frontal attack on a freakishly fast and agile mage like Alpha—could there be a more reassuring attack for Alpha?

Alpha calmly pulled Huang Basan, the 1.9-meter-tall brute, in front of him, and the big guy immediately blocked the rogue like a wall.

The rogue immediately changed direction at high speed, trying to avoid this mountain of flesh. It must be said that the rogue's speed was quite fast, clearly a speed-type rogue with 20 agility, but no matter how fast, it couldn't outpace a spell cast from a distance, right?

The rogue's supporting foot was grabbed by an invisible but tangible hand, causing him to fall flat on his face.

【Mage Hand】!!!

With Alpha's current 15 base strength, this 【Mage Hand】 could even throw the rogue, but Alpha didn't do that. The reason was simple: he still needed to aim!

Alpha's second crossbow bolt was immediately launched, and Huang Basan also joined in!!!

The big, burly barbarian warrior might seem slow and not as fierce as he looks, standing there blankly even when insulted by a group of thugs, but this doesn't mean Huang Basan is stupid.

At least the barbarian warrior knows when to act and reacts quickly!!!

Huang Basan's body glowed with a faint red light as he raised his great axe and delivered a 【Powerful Strike】.

The great axe's formidable attack, combined with 【Powerful Strike】 and 【Rage】—the red glow that Huang Basan had earlier—this is the barbarian's innate ability, allowing them to gain extremely high strength and constitution bonuses for a short time. Barbarians are called "inflatable dolls" precisely because of this short-term burst ability.

The combination of these three factors, plus Alpha's short crossbow bolt piercing the rogue's chest, resulted in two shocking damages in quick succession.

-151!!

-122!!

The rogue was beheaded directly!!

—In "Dungeons and Dragons," if a player receives a fatal wound and is also hit in the neck, a bloody and thrilling scene of decapitation occurs.

Although this mechanism has been complained about by countless female players, the developers firmly retained it. In fact, according to insiders, the real reason for the developers' firm stance is that they simply don't have the ability to affect the internal elements of the game that has already started.

Returning to the main topic: a 10th-level rogue's health points are not much more than a priest's. Even with leather armor, it is not enough to survive a total of 273 damage.

Their side instantly went from a 5-on-3 advantage to a 3-on-3 equal number, and the guy who was thought to be a waste of space didn't seem so useless after all. Two of the three damages over 100 points came from this "waste of space's" 【Crossbow Bolt】—of course, everyone thought it was 【Crossbow Bolt】.

The "League of Legends" team immediately felt the pressure.

If it weren't for that damn guild name, Alpha might not have acted so decisively. The few losers probably never imagined that the grand guild name they used to intimidate others would lead to them being thoroughly beaten.

Of course, the "League of Legends" team wasn't completely stupid and immediately organized a counterattack.

The mage standing in the middle of the team immediately sprayed a stream of flames at Huang Basan and Alpha, who were standing one in front and one behind.

【Burning Hands】!!!

This wasn't the first time Alpha faced 【Burning Hands】. The last time in the evil cave, Alpha was hit by this spell from Brother Talent, and not long ago, Alpha was hit by Brother Talent's more powerful 26th-level mage's 【Burning Hands】.

Huang Basan was startled. He knew how powerful this area-of-effect attack that causes massive fire damage to a wide conical area was. He wanted to push Alpha away, but it was too late.

The mage's intention was clear: to take out the mage who had fired two 【Crossbow Bolts】 and caused significant damage.

"I don't know why your 【Crossbow Bolt】 is so deadly, but in the end, you're still just a waste of space mage!!"

Seeing the flames envelop the mage and the barbarian warrior, the mage's lips curled into a smile.

A 10th-level mage has a maximum of 150 health points. Even if this one didn't burn to death, a quick arrow from the ranger would finish the job.

When he saw out of the corner of his eye that the ranger was already drawing his bow, the 13th-level mage felt proud of his team's perfect coordination and thought to himself:

"This is the style of a big guild."

He could already see himself using a single 【Burning Hands】 to turn the tide, with the help of his teammates, brutally punishing the challenging opponents.

The damage that followed was also very satisfying:

-166!!

-151!!

The waste of space mage was dead for sure, and the barbarian would lose half his life!!

Seeing the two damage numbers appear above Alpha and Huang Basan's heads, the "League of Legends" mage was smug, even imagining the lines he would say for this attack:

"This is 【Burning Hands】, a powerful evocation spell."

Then, a long arrow accurately hit Alpha's chest, dealing 66 points of high damage. The rolling youth was equally confident, thinking this arrow would finish off the waste of space mage.

Alpha received a total of 232 points of damage, which would be fatal for a 10th-level mage!!

But unfortunately...

Alpha is not an ordinary mage:

With a full 20 constitution points, plus 1 constitution point from 【Solid Foundation Technique】 and the corresponding health point bonus, and... well, let me catch my breath... and the highest health point increase per level like a fighter, as well as the damage reduction from 【Internal Energy Protection】...

Would a blood bull like this care about 232 points of damage?

318/384!!

First, he used 【Internal Energy Protection】 to negate 166 points of damage from 【Burning Hands】, then he canceled 【Internal Energy Protection】 and took the arrow from the rolling youth. For Alpha, these two hits were taken with ease.

Alpha is a top-tier blood bull. With full constitution and 【Solid Foundation Technique】 bonuses, his maximum health of 384 points is rare among 10th-level players, almost matching Huang Basan, who has full strength and constitution and is in a rage.

But even in a rage, the barbarian warrior has additional constitution and health point bonuses, so it's not surprising that he has high health. Alpha is different.

—A 10th-level mage with 384 health points is definitely a freak among freaks in "Dungeons and Dragons."

Even Huang Basan was surprised that Alpha was unscathed. He had been worried that Alpha wouldn't survive a single 【Burning Hands】 hit, as 100+ points of damage are not easy to withstand, especially for a mage.

"Your teammate has been maliciously attacked by player 'Firegod Kill.' You can retaliate against the members of their team within 5 minutes."

A cliché name... As Alpha calculated, he waved his hand at Firegod Kill, who still looked incredulous. A walnut-sized stone with a faint golden glow flew toward Firegod Kill.

"【Stone Bullet】?"

Everyone was stunned. Throwing a stone, there's nothing else but the 3rd-level transmutation spell 【Stone Bullet】.

What a joke? That's a spell only 30th-level mages can learn, and now it's in the hands of a 10th-level mage. This waste of space can't learn many spells due to low intelligence, yet he has a highly damaging 【Crossbow Bolt】 and now a 3rd-level spell 【Stone Bullet】.

—Who knows what good stuff this waste of space mage has?

Not just the three guys from the "League of Legends," even Changqing and Huang Basan were stunned. Is this the legendary waste of space?

Changqing and Huang Basan can be stunned, but the three from the "League of Legends" can't. They immediately remembered that 【Stone Bullet】 explodes. Although the damage from the shrapnel is limited, it's still a 3rd-level spell, and a hit from it at 10th level is no joke.

The shield warrior raised his shield, and the ranger took a step back.

The mage, who was the first to be hit, had no chance to dodge. The stone was aimed directly at him. He had just recovered from the casting delay, the distance was close, and he had no spell like 【Spell Immunity Field】 to save him. The mage could only close his eyes in despair, waiting to die.

That's a 3rd-level spell. Could he survive it?

"Who the hell said this is a waste of space? Damn his grandpa..."

Firegod Kill's face was full of sorrow as he cursed fiercely...
