"Done! Done!"
"Kid, you go first!! You're the hope of The White City! I'll hold them back."
The middle-aged man showed a brief moment of fear, then took a deep breath and stood up in front of Aiden. He was holding a heavy sword, and he took off the shield behind him.
Aiden narrowed his eyes slightly.
This middle-aged man wasn't low-level. He was a 17th-level knight.
Too bad.
There was a huge gap between a boss and a reclasser. The stats difference was more than just a little. Even a 17th-level bronze knight, if a hundred of them came, they'd all be cannon fodder. One skill from Iron Dragon Tetian would wipe them all out.
"Don't." Aiden said softly, in a calm voice.
The middle-aged man was stunned. He turned around quickly. "What are you saying? Just go! I'm old anyway. I'm going to die today! You look like a student. Study hard and try to pass the College Testing this year, okay?"
He took a deep breath and gave Aiden a bitter and complicated smile.
Aiden was slightly shocked.
This world was all about power. Whoever was strong had the power to speak.
Not enough.
This world also had men like the one in front of him-real tough guys. Not like those dead-crazy guys Aiden just killed.
A little moved, Aiden raised his hand and said, "Then let's try."
He took out a hundred Enhancement Gems right away.
Each of these gems could give 10 points of stat boost.
Aiden looked at them and saw most of them were Spirit and Strength Enhancement Gems. A few were for Constitution and Agility.
Originally, Aiden didn't plan to use these high-level items. He wanted to see if he could sell them.
After all, the boost from these gems wasn't that big. His Abyssal Belt gave him 500 Spirit points. If the selling price was higher than what he expected, he'd make more profit.
But using them...
Hmm, it was a little regrettable.
Because even Aiden didn't know the exact value of these gems.
But now, things were different. The Iron Dragon boss in front of him was a real high-level boss, and a red-name boss too!
If he killed this Iron Dragon and completed the dragon-slaying, the benefits he got would definitely be more than these gems.
Without hesitation, Aiden used all the Enhancement Gems at once.
[You used an Enhancement Gem, Spirit +10]
[You used a Strength Gem, Strength +10]
[You used an Agility Gem, Agility +10]
All the gems worked the same way, just boosting different stats. Then Aiden's class panel changed completely, looking brand new!
His four main stats increased by a full 1000 points!
Looking at the crazy increase in stats, Aiden couldn't help but take a deep breath. His face showed shock and excitement. He muttered thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, even an Epic-level person can only get 100 free stats per level, right?"
Aiden was now the weakest common-grade class.
Epic-class characters were powerful not only because of their terrifying special skills, but also because of their rare stat values and growth potential.
Even when an Epic-class character reached level 10, they only got around 1,000 stat points.
But right now, the enhancement gem had already given Aiden 1,000 points!
He was also wearing all kinds of high-level gear.
This huge boost made Aiden feel excited and full of energy.
But instead of getting lost in the joy, he quickly pulled out more high-level potions!
Clang!
Aiden pulled out a hundred bottles of high-level damage boost potions.
Then, he opened all of them at once.
The potions floating in the air all opened up, showing strange and colorful lights!
Aiden drank them all!
[You used a high-level damage boost potion, your damage has increased]
[You used a high-level damage boost potion, your damage has increased]
The same message kept flashing on the screen over and over again!
Seeing this, Aiden's eyes widened.
[You used a high-level damage boost potion, your damage boost has reached the limit]
After drinking 92 of the potions, the message changed.
At this point, Aiden finally let out a long breath.
OK!
Everything was ready.
His stat points had increased.
He was wearing all his high-level gear.
He had used almost a hundred of the damage boost potions!
These potions were very expensive, even more expensive than high-level healing potions. Even after drinking them all, Aiden felt a little pain in his wallet.
But compared to the reward of killing a red-name boss, it was nothing.
Thinking this, Aiden raised his head again and looked at the dragon in the sky, which was continuously spitting fire and smoke into the forest.
Countless Reclassers were being burned alive, turning into ashes in an instant!
"Damn it!" The middle-aged knight held his heavy sword tightly, his body shaking, his face even more terrified, but he didn't back down. He stood in front of Aiden and said in a low, trembling voice:
"Kid, run! I'll protect you."
After saying that, it was clear that the man's body was tense, and a sense of despair spread out.
"No need."
Aiden said coldly.
"I can kill this dragon."
The middle-aged man was shocked!
He turned around quickly, his face frozen in surprise and confusion.
"What did you say?"
The man frowned.
Aiden said nothing else and walked forward, directly passing by the man.
"Don't! Kid! That's a 30-level boss, the red-name boss Tetian! Even some of the strong players in big guilds wouldn't dare to fight him..."
The middle-aged man hadn't finished speaking when Aiden had already run to the front of the Iron Dragon.
The Iron Dragon above looked even bigger, almost completely blocking the moonlight. Even Aiden, seeing this, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"This body is definitely bigger than a mountain!"
Aiden took a deep breath. "But the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. If I kill this Iron Dragon, even without a 100x critical hit, the huge body of this dragon clan would be worth a lot of materials."
As Aiden looked at Tetian, the Iron Dragon boss stopped moving. It no longer chased the fleeing Reclassers, but instead narrowed its golden eyes, looked down at Aiden with a human-like, expressive face, and smiled slightly, full of mockery:
"Damn it! You little bug!"
"Who do you think you are, challenging the Iron Dragon Tetian?"
"Tetian will show you how badly you invaders, how worthless your race is, will die!"
"Be the food of the holy Tetian...!"
The dragon roared at Aiden.
And in front of Aiden, the prompt screen translated the dragon's language.
Seeing the words, Aiden stayed silent.
The pressure from above grew stronger and stronger, as if the space itself was twisting, forming countless whirlwinds and small air currents.
Various elemental lights gathered in the sky, flashing and jumping wildly above Aiden's head!
"Now!"
Aiden's heart tightened. He seized the best moment. Tetian was about to attack him, already chanting an ancient dragon spell. This was the perfect time to strike, because at this moment, the boss couldn't cancel the skill or dodge.
Even if it was just a fraction of a second.
To Aiden, that was enough.
Aiden suddenly raised his Crimson Flame Staff.
"Fireball!"
"Blazing Tornado!"
To be safe, Aiden didn't use his strongest skill, the tornado. Instead, he first threw out a Fireball, blocking the Iron Dragon's escape route!
A few fireballs blocked the Iron Dragon's path!
And the next second, an enormous tornado appeared out of nowhere!
It covered half the forest!
Its diameter was over 300 meters!
Even Aiden was a bit shocked!
This skill effect was terrifying!
