Chapter 244: Triggering the Ring of Greed Again

Chapter 244 Triggering the Ring of Greed Once Again

Boom boom boom!

Tier-zero skeleton monsters and Tier-one skeleton monsters could not withstand the attack of the Fire Snake Spell.

In an instant, their bodies were destroyed, and the soul fires extinguished.

Each time a skeleton monster was slain, the magic badge on Li Wei's body would absorb a wisp of breath.

Recording Li Wei's combat achievements.

Whoosh!

A nimble Tier-two skeleton dodged the Fire Snake Spell's attack, rapidly closing in on Li Wei.

It still held a bone blade in its hand.

Li Wei raised his hand and launched a fireball.

Whoosh!

The Tier-two skeleton twisted its body to evade the fireball, slashing a blade toward Li Wei's face.

Li Wei revealed a look of surprise.

This skeleton has something to it.

Boom!

The fireball landed among a group of skeletons, blasting a patch of them into fragments.

Thud!

The bone blade chopped before Li Wei, blocked by the invisible armor.

Li Wei flicked his finger, and a cone of flame erupted.

Flame Impact!

The firelight submerged the figure of the Tier-two skeleton monster.

Single-target attacks cannot hit.

Then use area-of-effect attacks.

Boom!

The Tier-two skeleton monster was knocked flying by the Flame Impact.

The fire snake circled from behind, swallowing the Tier-two skeleton monster in one bite.

Crack! Clatter!

The Tier-two skeleton monster's head was eaten by the fire snake, its soul fire shattered.

The body lost strength, scattering into bones across the ground.

Due to this delay, the surrounding skeleton monsters had already approached within three meters of Li Wei.

A dense mass, watertight and impenetrable.

Li Wei took out the Explosive Staff, tapping the ground once.

"Repelling Fire Ring!"

Boom boom boom!

The Repelling Fire Ring expanded, knocking all skeleton monsters within ten meters flying.

Dozens of skeleton monsters were sent soaring.

Tier-two Fire Spell!

Scorching Earth!

Li Wei's mana consumed rapidly, the ground burning.

The fire spread quickly, a large patch of ground turning into scorched earth.

The skeleton monsters standing upon it died continuously.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei completed the task of clearing Tier-zero skeleton monsters.

Li Wei absorbed the energy within the Fire Spirit Pearl Necklace to restore mana.

Continuously casting several Tier-two spells consumed no small amount of his mana.

Mana remaining was still at seventy percent.

For safety's sake, one should always keep mana brimming.

Avoiding encountering danger where mana replenishment falls short.

Li Wei attacked for a while, clearing a large swath of skeletons.

Yet the number of skeletons did not decrease but increased.

The commotion caused by his fighting awakened more sleeping skeleton monsters.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand skeleton monsters became twenty or thirty thousand.

Averaged out, everyone had to deal with several hundred skeleton monsters.

Everyone felt the pressure was mountainous.

Li Wei, however, felt an opportunity had arrived.

Ninety-nine percent of the twenty or thirty thousand skeleton monsters were Tier-zero and Tier-one.

There were at least a hundred Tier-two skeleton monsters as well.

These were all credit points.

Li Wei greedily thought, if only one Super Fireball Spell could instantly kill all the skeleton monsters here.

The thought had just been born when he felt something amiss.

The Greed Curse activated.

A new wisp of Greed Curse breath emerged.

A message floated up in Li Wei's mind.

Want all, complete all course tasks.

Fail, deduct all credit points.

Li Wei's eye corners twitched twice.

He had thought about this matter, but only wanted to test luck, whether it worked, if not then let it be.

Now things were fine, directly turned into a mandatory task.

Li Wei looked up.

In other words, within this ocean of skeletons before him existed Tier-three and Tier-four skeleton monsters.

Could this be considered a reverse utilization of the Ring of Greed?

To hunt a tier-four skeleton monster, Li Wei walked toward the depths of the secret realm.

Watching Li Wei ignore his advice and head into the depths, Sean raised an eyebrow.

He did not stop him.

Everyone must bear responsibility for their own choices.

Besides, he wanted to see just how strong Li Wei truly was.

He felt he could no longer gauge the depth of Li Wei's power.

"Help!" A student cried for salvation, trapped alone within a circle of skeleton monsters, unable to escape.

He was about to be swallowed by the skeleton horde.

A cloud of fire descended, burning all the skeleton monsters to ash.

The fire cloud dispersed, and the student remained unharmed.

Sean looked back toward Li Wei, only to find he had vanished.

A sense of worry arose in his heart unbidden.

Had he kept watch over Li Wei, he could have offered aid if trouble struck.

Now, Li Wei had disappeared.

If he waited for trouble to find him before rescuing the boy, it would likely be too late.

After much deliberation, Sean did not terminate the practical course for the sake of Li Wei alone.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted from the depths of the skeleton sea.

The massive force of the blast made the ground tremble.

Quite a few people nearly fell over.

Everyone looked up toward the depths of the skeleton sea, curiosity shining in their eyes.

"What happened?"

Sean watched the aftermath of the explosion ripple outward in the distance.

He felt the intense magical fluctuations coming from afar.

He perceived that the area was filled with violent fire elements.

Li Wei glanced at his magic badge, revealing a look of disappointment.

"Pity, it was a tier-three skeleton monster, not a tier-four."

"Growing so large, I thought it was a tier-four skeleton monster, wasting my mana."

Dealing with a tier-three skeleton monster did not require a charged fireball.

A blue fireball was sufficient.

Li Wei prepared to continue searching for a tier-four skeleton monster.

Suddenly, he felt the magical elements around him fall silent.

A gray skeleton monster appeared not far from Li Wei.

The gray skeleton monster stood over two meters tall, its bones not thick, but rather thin due to its height.

It emitted a strange power that silenced the magical elements surrounding it.

Spells could not be used.

Elemental spells could not be used.

Li Wei's expression tightened slightly; he realized this was a tier-four skeleton monster.

Upon their first meeting, the tier-four skeleton monster gave Li Wei a tremendous "surprise."

Li Wei attempted to cast a fireball spell.

The fire elements did not respond; the spell halted during the mana filling stage, casting failed.

Whoosh!

The gray skeleton monster approached rapidly.

It could cover several meters in a single step, appearing before Li Wei in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Its long arm smashed onto Li Wei, blocked by the invisible armor.

Crack!

One layer of the invisible armor shattered.

The gray skeleton monster's attack seemed ordinary enough.

Yet its power was astonishingly great.

This was a genuine tier-four skeleton monster.

The gray skeleton seemed to possess nothing but terrifying brute strength besides its ability to silence magical elements.

It struck Li Wei's turtle shell again and again.

Li Wei thought quickly of a countermeasure.

The magical elements were silent; elemental spells could not be used.

The only spell he could still use was Telekinesis.

However, Telekinesis could not deal with a tier-four skeleton monster.

Li Wei cast Telekinesis, attempting to push it away.

The tier-four skeleton monster's strength broke free from the tier-three Telekinesis control, smashing another layer of invisible armor.

"If there is no other way, I must retreat first."

"Stay away from the range of its ability, attack from afar."

Li Wei cast Telekinesis, this time targeting himself.

He flew toward the sky.

The gray skeleton monster grabbed Li Wei and was dragged into the sky as well.

With one hand it held Li Wei, with the other it pounded on Li Wei's turtle shell.

Li Wei landed helplessly.

There was no other way.

Li Wei could only use his final ultimate technique.

Power surged within his body.

Li Wei's pupils turned into burning vertical slits.

His throat swelled, aglow with a scarlet radiance.

Dragon Flame Breath!
