Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Elite Monster
After explaining his plan to lure the monsters, Tom looked worried. "Alex, it's too dangerous for you as a mage to lure monsters. How can you withstand so many monsters and their fireballs? Let me do it."
After speaking, Tom showcased the skills he gained when he awakened his profession.
**[Spell Reflection]** (Level B) lv1
- Casting Requirements: Shield
- Effect: Reflect spells that attack you within 1 second, with a cooldown of 15 seconds.
Tom not only awakened his B-level talent but also had a B-level skill. It is rare to see double B-level professionals. You must know that tens of thousands of professionals awaken in Central City every year, but only a few can reach B-level or above.
The skill Spell Reflection is of little use in the early stages because there are very few monsters that can cast spells before level 10, but once the level goes up, it becomes a magical skill. Theoretically, Spell Reflection can reflect all single-target spells. There was once a level 70 shield warrior who reflected an S-level disintegration spell cast by the demon lord, resulting in the demon lord being killed on the spot.
"I have spell reflection, and I'm lucky enough to be able to bounce several fireballs." Tom took out a shield the size of a pot lid from his backpack and said with a serious face.
The duration of Spell Reflection is 1 second. Many have experimented, and within this 1 second, spells that attack the shield will be reflected back. However, this is a multi-reflection technique that can only be mastered by advanced shield fighters. How can Tom, a level 4 warrior, use it?
He only said this to reassure Alex. Tom had already prepared for the worst. The worst-case scenario was death. It would be a waste not to fight side by side with a good friend.
Alex listened to Tom's words and silently showed off his shield.
**Shield value: 10000/10000**
"Gulp!" Tom swallowed after seeing the shield and looked at Alex in shock. Then Tom seemed to think of something, breathed a sigh of relief, silently put the shield back into his backpack, and found a place with a nice view to sit down.
"Oops!" After sitting down, Tom suddenly remembered something and said annoyedly.
Alex asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I forgot to buy a barbecue grill and a tent," Tom muttered under his breath.
This look amused Alex. "You should come here as a tourist; this is hellish difficulty."
Tom, who was sitting on the ground, heard Alex's words and lay down directly. "You go and attract the monsters; I'll take a nap." After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Alex: ...
Well, the shield value completely made Tom give up the idea of taking action. Tom, who was still excited just now, lay flat on his back. Judging from his even breathing, he'd probably fall asleep after a while.
The conversation between the two did not last long, and Alex stepped directly into the courtyard.
After entering, two Demonic Fire Goblins immediately focused on Alex. The hands of the two monsters lit up with red light in unison.
It was obviously the spellcasting action of forming fireballs. Alex didn't waste any time. He ran around the courtyard, attracting the monster's attention to himself, and then hid directly under the tombstone.
The process was also very dangerous. Alex counted silently and found that he had probably been hit by more than 30 fireballs. Nearly half of his shield was knocked out, leaving 5820/10000.
However, Alex's goal was achieved, and he was now in the pit under the tombstone.
"What does this pit smell like!" Upon entering the pit, Alex smelled an unpleasant odor.
He turned around and saw a lot of bones and carrion scattered around. These bones came in all shapes and sizes.
Alex thought about it and concluded that this must be a mass burial site for monsters. The unpleasant smell came from rotten flesh and bones.
Alex hid in the pit for a few seconds when he heard a lot of footsteps and shouts from around him, "Jiligua! Kuruca!" (That human is hiding in the pit! Kill him!)
Alex, who was hiding in the pit, didn't know what the monsters were shouting. When he heard the footsteps getting closer, Alex started to cast a spell.
As soon as 3 seconds passed, with Alex as the center, the area instantly turned into a sea of fire.
-10000
-10000
[Kill the Demonic Fire Goblin and increase experience by 90 points]
[Kill the Demonic Fire Goblin and increase experience by 90 points]
Two seconds after the skill was released, a large number of kill prompts popped up. Alex waited in the pit for another 10 seconds. After confirming that there were no more kill prompts, he put away his skills.
Climbing out of the pit, Alex saw an empty courtyard. "As witty as I am!"
After praising himself, Alex walked around the courtyard. The strange thing was that neither the Evil Blood Goblin killed before nor the Demonic Fire Goblin just killed dropped a single item, and even the corpses were burned.
Unwilling to give up, Alex walked around again, hoping to encounter a treasure chest. Since the monsters dropped nothing, would he be compensated with a treasure chest?
But Alex was disappointed. There were only messy stones and broken bones in the courtyard, not even a trace of a treasure chest.
After killing a bunch of monsters, Alex's level reached level 5.
**[Name]:** Alex
- Level: lv5
- Life: 500
- Mana: 101000
- Strength: 8 (affects physical attack, physical defense)
- Agility: 9 (affects critical hit rate, speed)
- Intelligence: 30 (affects spell attack, spell defense)
- Physical strength: 10 (affects health, resistance)
- Skill points: 1540
- Evolution points: 0
- Free attribute points: 5
**[Talent]:** Cooldown reduction (G level)
**[Skill 1]:** Magical Heart (S level)
**[Skill 2]:** Blazing Barrier (S Level)
Seeing his attributes, Alex felt a sense of satisfaction. "Life is really as lonely as snow."
So far, Alex had not encountered a monster that could withstand his attacks for 3 seconds.
Not long after Alex was feeling proud, a door in the courtyard was opened with a bang. Four dog-like creatures nearly as tall as a person walked out of the door.
**[Fire Dog]** (Elite) lv10
- HP: 32000
- Attack: 210
- Primary Fire Antibody: Reduces fire damage by 10%.
- Crazy Bite: The next bite attack of the Fire Dog deals 120% fire damage and has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
After seeing the monster's attributes, Alex secretly thought it was dangerous. Fortunately, he ran fast!
When the gate to the courtyard suddenly opened, Alex quickly retreated out of the courtyard, avoiding entering the attack range of the four elite monsters.
Alex's skill cooldown was still 1 and a half minutes long. Facing four elite monsters, Alex had no confidence that he could persist until the skill cooldown ended.
Monsters, like professionals, also have different templates, divided into ordinary, elite, heroic, epic, legend, and myth. Alex had not changed classes yet; he was just on an ordinary template. After he passes level 20 and changes classes for the first time, he will be upgraded to an elite template.
Tom, who was lying on the ground, heard movement around him and opened his eyes sleepily. "What's wrong? Are we leaving after slaying the monsters?"
Tom had a look of doubt on his face, thinking that Alex had come to tell him to leave. This left Alex speechless. The battle just now lasted only two or three minutes, and Tom had actually fallen asleep so soundly. Alex had to admire Tom for having a strong heart.
