16: Server-wide announcement”Ah...”

”Damn it...”

The BOSS roared repeatedly in agony, unable to understand why it was taking more damage after attacking Bai Tian.

Bai Tian withstood this wave of ultimate moves without taking any damage, thanks to the passive effect of [Longevity] which resists lethal blows.

However, the price was that this effect could not be triggered again for 5 minutes.

”Go, tear him apart.”

With blood at the corner of its mouth, the BOSS furiously ordered the several Dwarf Strongmen who had caught up to attack Bai Tian.

The moment Bai Tian landed, he quickly consumed his last Medium-grade Mana Potion.

The two Medium-grade Mana Potions he had were dropped from monsters he had killed earlier.

To quickly replenish his sustain, Bai Tian could only use them all at this critical moment.

5 Dwarf Strongmen charged over aggressively. Bai Tian wasn’t afraid of them, but he was worried about the BOSS’s next move.

After all, he temporarily lacked the [Longevity] effect to resist lethal damage.

And the BOSS still had over 190,000 HP; he couldn’t afford a careless mistake now.

The 5 Dwarf Strongmen smashed down with a flurry of attacks like a violent storm. Each dealt as much as 530 damage, with total damage reaching a staggering 2,600+ points.

But at full health, Bai Tian could still endure this thunderous assault.

At the same time, all 5 Dwarf Strongmen were killed by the 40x Rebound, screaming in agony.

One of the Dwarf Strongmen actually dropped a skill book upon death.

This was already the second skill book Bai Tian had obtained while grinding Dwarf Strongmen.

The first book, [Leap Slash], had been sold to Glorious World for 30,000 yuan.

Seeing its five capable subordinates suddenly perish, the BOSS was stunned for a moment before becoming incandescent with rage. Its long hair stood on end, making it look like a ferocious beast.

It bared its foul-smelling fangs and let out a furious roar: ”Damned adventurer, I will hack you alive!”

Startled, Bai Tian quickly burned a large amount of Mana to pull his health back to full.

But he still felt unsafe; he knew this BOSS could deal enough damage to kill him in one hit.

”Die!”

From a distance, the BOSS swung the giant spiked mace in its hand, generating the power of a tempest and throwing it like a thunderbolt from afar.

This was likely another of the BOSS’s skills, [Whirlwind Throw].

Bai Tian wasn’t sure how much health he would lose if he were hit by this move.

In this moment of crisis, Bai Tian emptied all his Mana, converting it all into vitality.

His total HP instantly reached 5,056 points.

But his heart was still racing, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

Bai Tian leaped forward, lunging behind a giant boulder.

He hoped that hiding behind the rock would mitigate the damage from this move.

—”BOOM!”

The spiked mace, carrying the power of a tempest, was as terrifying as a cannonball. It pulverized the boulder, and even Bai Tian, who was hiding behind it, was sent flying by the impact.

Damage: -4,982!

40x Rebound: -139,440!

—”Wuaaaa!”

The BOSS let out a heart-wrenching scream. Jolted by the massive 40x Rebound damage, it retreated with blood spraying from its entire body, its face becoming a blur.

Its body seemed to be torn into countless pieces, with blood and organs splattering everywhere—a sight too gruesome to behold.

After attacking Bai Tian three times, the BOSS had lost 340,480 HP through Rebound. It should have had 59,520 HP left, but it actually had 60,012.

This was because the BOSS possessed a significant auto-regeneration effect, allowing it to continuously recover health during battle and increase its combat endurance.

This Demon-grade BOSS was simply too powerful. For any other player, even hundreds of people might not be able to defeat it.

In the early novice stage, it was likely that no one except Bai Tian could defeat it alone.

This must be the strongest ultimate BOSS on Novice Island.

After being tossed in the air by the BOSS’s powerful skill for several seconds, Bai Tian finally hit the ground hard, losing another 52 HP from the fall.

Suddenly, he was left with a critical health line of only 22 HP.

Bai Tian quickly converted back 80 points of Mana, then consumed a Low-grade Health Potion and a Low-grade Mana Potion, recovering 100 HP and 80 Mana.

Then, as fast as he could, he consumed 60 Mana to restore 800 HP to himself.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to heal more, but the sustain from the Mana Potions was far from enough.

He only had 20 Mana left and would have to wait 5 seconds before he could use another potion.

And his Level 1 Mana Gem only recovered 1 Mana per second, which was almost useless at such a critical moment.

Fortunately, the BOSS had been heavily injured by the Rebound and seemed a bit dazed.

It didn’t immediately follow up on its advantage.

With the BOSS’s high Magic Defense of 489, Bai Tian’s attacks wouldn’t even break its defense. The best option now was to kite it and keep his distance.

However, although Bai Tian wanted to kite and stall for time, the BOSS wouldn’t let him have his way.

After clearing its head slightly and seeing that the still-living Bai Tian had stood up again, the BOSS’s eyes turned red, as intimidating as a hungry, monstrous beast.

”Damned adventurer, you’re actually still alive.”

After retrieving its weapon, the BOSS was like a demon emerging from an abyss, unstoppable as it hunted Bai Tian down.

Although the BOSS temporarily had no skills available, its speed far exceeded Bai Tian’s, and it caught up in no time.

Fortunately, the 5 seconds had passed, and Bai Tian quickly consumed another Low-grade Health Potion and Low-grade Mana Potion.

His HP recovered to 1,024, and his Mana was at 105.

Just as the BOSS’s spiked mace was about to hit him, Bai Tian preemptively burned 60 Mana to restore 800 HP, bringing his total HP to 1,824.

But the BOSS’s terrifying swing also landed.

Damage: -1,436!

40x Rebound: -40,208!

He withstood this attack, leaving Bai Tian with 388 HP.

However, the red-eyed BOSS was completely maddened. With only 20,000-plus HP left, it swung its mace again.

Shit!

Bai Tian’s heart skipped a beat.

With only 388 HP left and both potions and skills on cooldown, he couldn’t dodge this attack from the BOSS with his speed.

It’s over; his first-ever death in the game was coming!

The only consolation was that although the BOSS would kill him, the BOSS would also be rebounded to death.

As the BOSS’s ferocious blow descended and Bai Tian thought he was certain to die—

A sudden warm current was cast upon him.

HP Recovery: +1,200!

Damage: -1,438!

40x Rebound: -40,264!

”No...”

A roar of despair and unwilling anguish erupted from the BOSS’s mouth. Its HP was completely depleted, and with blood spraying from its body, it fell backward onto the ground.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Congratulations on defeating the Demon-grade BOSS [Merlin] while being 6 levels lower. You have gained 20,000 EXP. Extra Reward: 4,000 EXP. Attribute Points: 5. Reputation: 40!)”

What happened? Where did that Healing Spell come from?

Seeing that he had survived with 150 HP, Bai Tian didn’t react for a moment.

It wasn’t until he saw a mine slave, covered in honey and holding a wooden staff, smiling at him that Bai Tian realized.

It turned out that A Dai, one of A Niu’s companions, was actually a Priest.

While he was entangled with the BOSS and its minions, A Dai and A Mao had successfully freed themselves.

And at the critical moment, a Healing Spell had saved Bai Tian’s life.

Holy crap, that was truly lucky.

Otherwise, even though he would have rebounded the BOSS to death, he would have also died and respawned in the novice village.

By the time he ran back here, the high-quality items dropped by the BOSS would likely have Refreshed and disappeared.

Bai Tian gave A Dai a grateful nod and then quickly got to business.

Beneath the BOSS’s corpse lay a pile of glittering silver coins—nearly two hundred of them.

Among them were also 4 pieces of equipment, a box, and a gem.

After picking everything up, Bai Tian also grabbed the skill book dropped by the Dwarf Strongman.

I’m rich! I’m rich!

This time he had truly hit the jackpot.

Just as Bai Tian couldn’t wait to see what top-tier items had dropped—

Back in his dormitory in reality, his Close Friend’s voice rang out.

”Bai Tian, it’s already 7:31 AM. Why haven’t you logged off to eat and rest yet, you brat!”

Having been too immersed, Bai Tian, who had pulled an all-nighter, had forgotten the time.

But being in the heat of the moment, how could Bai Tian be willing to log off?

”I’m doing a quest; I’ll log off a bit later.”

His Close Friend looked surprised and muttered, ”Still doing a quest? What kind of quest can’t be finished in a whole night?”

”It seems this guy’s strength in the game isn’t that great!”

”No matter. Once we leave Novice Island at Level 10, I, the Great Mage, will carry him.”

After replying to his friend, just as Bai Tian was about to check his equipment, the Demon Cave Mine suddenly began to shake violently.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(The Demon Cave Mine is about to collapse. Please leave as soon as possible!)”

Hearing this prompt, Bai Tian got anxious.

The quest assigned by the Village Chief wasn’t finished yet.

Fortunately, the system wasn’t completely heartless and gave Bai Tian a hint at the critical moment.

Where the BOSS had been feasting earlier, a skull wine cup and a white leather mat emitted a green light.

Bai Tian ran over quickly and collected the skull wine cup and the white leather mat.

The system prompted that the collection of the Village Chief’s brother’s remains was complete and he could return to hand in the quest.

”Brave warrior!”

”It’s about to collapse here. Quick, escape with us!”

The two NPCs, A Dai and A Mao, were quite reliable; they didn’t abandon Bai Tian to run for their lives but waited for him anxiously.

”Let’s go together.”

Bai Tian ran over quickly and fled toward the exit with A Dai and A Mao.

It must be said, the system was too torturous.

Bai Tian led A Gou, A Dai, and A Mao in a frantic dash, like a game of Temple Run. They ran for over an hour before finally escaping the completely buried Demon Cave Mine.

They hadn’t rested for a single moment along the way.

Even though it was just a game, Bai Tian was exhausted and kept panting heavily.

”A Gou, A Dai, A Mao...”

”Thank heavens! This heroic warrior really rescued you all.”

The NPC A Niu jumped out from some corner, excitedly hugging his three companions.

”Brave warrior—no, benefactor!”

”Thank you for saving us from that sea of suffering. This is our reward for you; please, you must accept it.”

The four of them, including A Niu, bowed deeply to Bai Tian.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Congratulations on completing the special quest. Reward: +10,000 EXP, +1 Luck, +100 Gold.)”

Hearing the generous rewards from the system prompt, Bai Tian was shaken.

100 Gold was definitely a small fortune in [Vast Heaven] right now.

While things sold between players could be bought with money, purchasing items from NPCs in the game only recognized Gold.

”Benefactor, if you ever have time to go to [Glazed City] in the Vast Heaven Realm, please do come find us. Our brothers and our families will surely treat you as an honored guest.”

After thanking Bai Tian and leaving their promise, the four of them immediately vanished.

Could it be that he would meet these four guys again after leaving the novice village?

Bai Tian couldn’t help but wonder.

Whatever, check the equipment first.

Just as Bai Tian was about to see what top-tier items had dropped—

Suddenly, a striking golden system announcement echoed across the entire server.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Congratulations to player [Emil] from [Freedom Zone] for successfully reaching Level 10, being the first to leave Novice Island and becoming a First-Advancement Mage.)”

”(As the first player in [Vast Heaven] to successfully complete the first advancement as a Mage, Emil is rewarded with: +1 Level, +2 Luck, +200 Reputation, and one Hidden Class Card.)”

As soon as this announcement came out, the entire server was shocked.

Holy crap!

Someone was even faster than him, already Level 10, advanced, and had left Novice Island?

Originally, Bai Tian wanted to check the loot first, but seeing such generous rewards for being the first to reach Level 10 and advance, how could he stay still?

He was still a few thousand EXP short of Level 10.

Without another word, Bai Tian took out a Town Portal Scroll and instantly returned to the novice village to hand in his quest.

He had to snatch the reward for being the server’s first Level 10 First-Advancement Priest no matter what.
