"Light Wind!"
As Miss Ryu's final words fell, magic power erupted, and countless emerald green orbs of light appeared high in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Light orbs, accompanied by a fierce wind, fell like a torrential downpour, relentlessly bombarding the Bodhisattva Ice Statue. Continuous roars sounded, and the fiery explosions were incredibly dazzling.
Douma's figure also vanished in the explosion.
Boom!!
The violent explosion left a huge, deep pit where it occurred, and Douma and the ice statue had already disappeared.
Roy clicked his tongue; it was too brutal!
Light Wind, a dual-attribute magic of light and wind, creates a large number of light orbs that attack enemies with strong winds. It's an ultra-wide-area attack, and its destructive power is extremely terrifying.
Roy's eyesight was good; most of the light orbs struck the Bodhisattva Ice Statue. Douma only took one light orb, and his demon body seemed to be exposed to sunlight, turning to ash and smoke, unable to even let out a scream.
"Successfully hunted Upper Rank Two, Douma. Congratulations on obtaining the 'mystic ice blade'!"
"Congratulations on completing the Instance Mission. You have received 600 attribute points and a Bronze Treasure Chest!"
Roy's eyes lit up. Killing monsters also drops equipment, and with the mission reward, it felt pretty good!
Name: mystic ice blade
Quality: High-grade
Special Effect: This equipment is a magic sword with no base attributes and can cast freezing magic three times.
…
Roy muttered to himself, "Open the treasure chest!"
"Bronze Treasure Chest opened. Congratulations, Host, on obtaining 10 bottles of low-level life potion, a Fine Iron Longsword (low-grade), and Wind Chaser Boots (high-grade)!"
"low-level life potion: After consumption, restores 20% of HP within ten seconds. Repeated consumption can extend the effect but cannot stack. 10 bottles remaining."
"Fine Iron Longsword (low-grade): Forged from tempered fine iron, no special effects."
Name: Wind Chaser Boots
Quality: High-grade
Attribute: Increases speed by 10%.
Special Effect (Wind Walking): Increases self-agility by 30% for 10 seconds. Each time the special effect is activated, equipment durability decreases by 10%.
Durability: 99%
…
Looking at the series of panel rewards, Roy's face lit up with joy. It felt great to have a powerful ally carrying him.
The attribute points obtained from the system could be freely distributed to his ability values. Roy didn't hesitate much, waving his hand to put all of them into "Agility"!
Agility: 0 (I) → 600 (C)!
Roy's leg muscles seemed to be nourished by some kind of energy, bursting with powerful strength.
In Naruto, why did the major ninja villages say to abandon missions if they encountered Minato Namikaze? Wasn't it because that guy's speed was too fast, coming and going as he pleased?
Agility was definitely Roy's priority for stat allocation. Even if he couldn't win, he would have a chance to escape.
It's worth mentioning that as long as one attribute reaches D-rank and there is enough "Great Feat," one can level up. Roy had already met the first condition.
But as long as his head was normal, he wouldn't level up casually. With the system panel allowing infinite acquisition of attribute points, he would definitely max out the values before leveling up.
After leveling up, the original panel would be hidden, and a new panel would appear, but it wouldn't disappear.
The values stacked with each level-up would ultimately reflect in personal strength.
In the original timeline, Miss Ryu used a massive amount of "Great Feat" to jump from LV.4 to LV.6 in one go. While seemingly impressive in the short term, she actually lost out significantly.
Almost all of the LV.5 values were skipped.
After leveling up, placed within LV.6, she was the weakest in terms of pure stats, relying entirely on her new magic, "Astrea Record," to make up for it.
Miss Ryu finished her work and came before Roy, seeing him smiling so widely he couldn't hide it. "What are you laughing about?"
"Just marveling at Miss Ryu's extraordinary strength. Among LV.4 Adventurers, she truly stands out," Roy smoothly flattered her.
System items are divided into five grades: low-grade, high-grade, epic, legendary, and divine. If not for Miss Ryu, he probably would have had to start by fighting Goblins. How else would he have the chance to get two high-grade pieces of equipment and 600 attribute points right at the start?
For this great benefactor, Roy wouldn't mind serving her tea or water.
Miss Ryu's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She, of course, wouldn't care about flattery from ordinary people.
Seeing Douma defeated, Butterfly Kanae, whose physical and mental strength had almost reached their limits and who was supported only by sheer willpower, collapsed to the ground, a relieved smile on her face.
Roy regretfully said, "It's a pity for such a beautiful girl to die. Miss Ryu, quickly save her."
Miss Ryu listened, and the more she heard, the stranger it became. She looked at him oddly. "What if it were a man here?"
"Then I can only wish him an early death and rebirth!"
"Scumbag!"
…
While bickering, Miss Ryu went to Butterfly Kanae's side, knelt down, and cast healing magic.
"—Now, song of the distant forest, melody of life past. Please bestow healing mercy upon those who seek you, Noah Heal!" Miss Ryu chanted rapidly, and magic power transformed into life force, falling upon the girl.
Whoosh!
A layer of emerald green light appeared on the collapsed Butterfly Kanae's body. Her originally paper-white complexion regained a touch of rosiness, her breathing became stable, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, showing signs of waking up.
Noah Heal, Miss Ryu's second magic, a single-target recovery spell. Roy sighed, feeling like he had struck gold. She could fight, heal, and was beautiful—a versatile character.
"Let's go!"
After Miss Ryu finished healing, Roy stretched lazily and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Miss Ryu's delicate little face froze. Roy had specifically asked her to save the person, and she had thought Roy would take advantage of the situation, coveting the girl's beauty. Adventurers who thought with their lower bodies were everywhere; she had seen too many.
But Roy's indifferent attitude instead left her a bit bewildered. Could he not be a good person?
"Instance Mission completed. Host, please return within twenty-four hours. Countdown…"
Roy clicked the panel, and a spatial fluctuation appeared. His and Miss Ryu's bodies gradually disappeared.
The two returned to the tent in Orario.
Miss Ryu clicked her tongue in wonder, looking at Roy with growing curiosity. Could he be a certain god, deliberately hiding his identity to play with her? Although gods using divine power would be sent back to heaven, gods had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and their methods were mysterious and complex. She couldn't rule out that possibility.
"Miss Ryu, let's continue!"
Roy was excited. Killing Douma had only taken about an hour. An hour for 600 attribute points, that's 14,400 attribute points in twenty-four hours.
At this terrifying pace, even if he wanted to max out all attributes to SSS, he would quickly be promoted to a high-ranking Adventurer. Then he would punch the Loki Familia and kick the Freya Familia! Yesterday you ignored me, today I'll make you unable to reach me!
And he'd make the Black Dragon his pet, too!
Roy's voice was like a devil's whisper, full of temptation, "The more monsters defeated, the faster Ais Wallenstein and the others will be resurrected…"
Miss Ryu quietly looked at the excited Roy, a hint of wariness and fatigue in her eyes.
"Daga, kotowaru!"
