Chapter 27: Huge Earning, No loss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the air that was filled with darkness.
A figure shrouded in a radiant holy light descended from the sky.
“How is this possible? Why is this human still alive?” The Dark Magus felt puzzled.
In its impression, the humans in this world were extremely weak. It could easily crush a large bunch of them with just one finger. But he seemed to have encountered an exception now!
The Dark Magus couldn’t have expected that there was this one person whose attributes had reached four digits in this world where most of the players’ attributes were below 100!
Currently, Link’s attributes could be completely described as superhuman.
With just a jump, he could jump over a building that was only three-stories high.
The Dark Magus’s attack just now didn’t even touch a single hair on Link.
Holy Charge!
Link turned his body after jumping in midair amidst the darkness. A silver-white light flashed in his pupils, and his entire person became a spear, cutting through the darkness and charging into the Dark Magus heavily.
Boom!
A terrifying force directly landed onto the Dark Magus’s body, causing the Dark Magus to be knocked flying.
Dense holy light went rampant in its body, causing the Dark Magus to be unable to gather its magic to stabilize itself. Even its [Soul Fire] swayed crazily, causing it to become extremely dizzy.
Holy Charge had knock-up, stun, and silence effects.
Its body was still in midair now. As an experienced fighter, was it possible that Link would miss this opportunity?
[Red Sky] violently gave off a loud sound as warm energy flowed into Link’s right hand, which was holding the sword, and fire-red sword energy was released.
Red Sky Sword Energy!
Swoosh!
The sword energy was extremely sharp and cut off half of the Dark Magus’s body, causing it to yell in pain.
Link didn’t stop. His body turned into a phantom, and he disappeared on the spot.
Before the Dark Magus landed on the ground, Link grabbed its throat and then slammed it onto the ground.
Crack!
The surrounding cement roofs instantly shattered crazily, and the cracks spread like cobwebs.
Cha!
Link raised [Red Sky] up high, and in a flash of light, stabbed it into the Dark Magus’s wide hood.
“Ah—” The Dark Magus screamed crazily. Its [Soul Fire] became corporeal and burnt the black magic robe that it wore.
Purple-black energy surged in the surrounding area. The Dark Magus wanted to execute an attack even though it was on the verge of death.
Link smiled slightly and twisted his wrist, violently stirring the sword in its eye socket.
Buzz!
The air suddenly stagnated, and the purple-black energy that had gathered fell apart.
The Dark Magus finally stopped resisting.
[Ding! You successfully killed a Dark Magus. Gained 5,000 EXP!]
[Ding! Detected that you have killed a unit that is a higher level than you! Awarded +300% additional EXP!]
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 6!]
...
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 8!]
...
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 10!]
...
[Ding! Congratulations on your summoned creature—Holy Angel—successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 10!]
[Ding! Congratulations on your summoned creature—God Devourer Ant—successfully leveling up to Stage One, Level 9!]
As expected, killing a higher-leveled creature was the correct path to leveling up quickly.
Link smiled, feeling quite happy in his heart.
This Dark Magus not only gave him as much as 5,000 EXP, but Link had even gained an additional 300% EXP from the system reward. This allowed him to level up five times directly, reaching the maximum level for Stage One existences.
Link noticed that he wasn’t far from reaching Stage Two after taking a close look.
Also, his two summoned creatures had leveled up crazily too, each leveling up six times!
Their attributes increased like crazy.

(PS: Attribute= basic attribute +equipment attribute bonus +summoned creatures’ attribute bonus)
Tsk tsk tsk, these attributes were much higher than a normal Stage Three player’s standard attributes!
Once Link reached Stage Two, and his attributes doubled, combined with his summoned creatures and two Epic-grade items, who could still be a match for him?
As he was thinking about this, he saw two golden lights from the corner of his eyes.
He forgot to pick up the loot after killing the Boss-level creature!
Link walked up and discovered that the Dark Magus left behind two items after it died—a staff and a pair of shoes.
Link picked up the pieces of equipment and checked their attributes.
[Staff of Magic Source]: Gold-grade.
Intelligence: 47
Constitution: 25
Additional skill 1: [Source of Magic] (Passive): The chanting time for dark-type spells is decreased by 20%.
Additional skill 2: [Grimoire of Evil] (Passive): The effects of dark-type spells are enhanced by 50%!
“This item can be considered top-grade amongst Gold-grade items since it has two additional skills as a Gold-grade item!” muttered Link to himself and checked the other item.
[Shoes of Darkness]: Gold-grade
Strength: 25
Constitution: 26
Additional effect: Reduce incoming damage by 20%.
Its attributes were normal, and the effect was also not bad.
Link considered for a while and blessed the shoes first.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Shoes of the Moon Chaser (Epic)!]
[Shoes of the Moon Chaser] (Upgradable)
Grade: Epic
Strength: 270
Intelligence: 340
Constitution: 350
Agility: 423
Additional skill 1: [Moon Chase] (Active Skill): Increases the user’s movement speed by 300% after activation. Caster also obtains [Light Body] status! Duration: 1 minute. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Additional skill 2: [Meteor] (Active Skill): Teleport to any spot within a 20-meter radius. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
“A godly item for chasing and self-preservation!” Link secretly nodded after seeing the shoes’ attributes and skills.
His Agility was high enough now. The shoes’ additional attributes and skills would make him even stronger.
It also had an extremely important skill, [Meteor]. It granted one the ability to teleport anywhere within 20 meters. In crucial moments, this skill could turn the tides.
This is a huge gain! Links mouth slightly curled upwards and instantly changed into the [Shoes of the Moon Chaser].
He instantly felt his body become much lighter as if he could fly into the air with a single step.
Link jumped off the building after turning around.
He noticed Xue Linglong sitting in a corner and resting. Her face was pale, obviously badly injured from the battle just now.
Link looked down at her and insipidly said, “Your contribution this time is quite large. I shall reward you when we go back!”
Xue Linglong was dazed for a while upon hearing this, then became elated. She knew that every item that Link gave were all godly items that others could rarely obtain.
Her injury was worth it this time!
She suffered no losses!
