Ree Shil himself was also in a bit of a bind.
Because he was currently a Level 1 Wind Chasing Tamer, with only one summoning slot and a quota of 4 points.
With a 4-point quota, at most he could summon a B-Class Follower.
His main cards were almost all A-Level Cards, and each of them was incredibly powerful.
However, with B-Class Cards, there weren’t really any good options.
Boom!
As he hesitated, the ground suddenly shook violently.
[Rawr!!!]
Immediately following was a roar.
"Not good, it sounds like a big guy!"
Walker Lee’s face changed as she took the lead and ran toward the source of the noise.
When she reached the hospital fence, she saw a mammoth elephant clad in iron-like scales, struggling with several guards.
Clearly, these guards were no match for the mammoth elephant.
With a single swipe of its trunk, it could send people flying over a dozen meters away.
Its tusks thrust out frequently, and although the close-combat guards barely dodged, the accompanying sparks of electricity caused them immense pain.
Fortunately, there was a tamer guard on the scene who summoned several fearless goblins as Follower to entangle it.
But looking at the situation, it seemed they wouldn’t last more than a few minutes.
"All patrol personnel, come and support immediately!"
One of the guards, who looked like the captain, shouted loudly.
Suddenly, nearby patrol personnel began to converge on the spot.
"We should join in too, but prioritize self-preservation.
Especially since your level is still low, you can just harass from a distance with ranged attacks.
Huh?"
Walker Lee finished speaking, only to realize that Ree Shil was not by her side at all.
"What’s with this newcomer, scared?"
She looked around and couldn’t find him anywhere, but at this time she could no longer care about that.
She took out her own magic wand and began chanting.
As a Level 3 Wind Chasing Sorcerer, she possessed one ranged skill.
But because her attribute in [Spirit] was not strong enough, having only 15 points,
the casting time was quite long and required channeling.
[Caw caw!]
Just then, a strange cry from the sky distracted her.
She looked up and saw a winged dragon bird circling the sky above the hospital.
It seemed to be either looking for the hospital’s energy device or waiting for an opportunity to attack a card player.
"Not good, it’s a flying monster!"
"This big guy on the ground is already a nuisance, why’s there another one from the sky."
"But luckily, it doesn’t look that big."
"Does anyone have a hunter or sorcerer with a locked attack? Hurry up and signal it!"
"Don’t give it the chance to take action!"
Hearing her allies’ shouts, Walker Lee forcibly interrupted her current skill and started channeling again, changing her target.
Her skill happened to have a locking effect.
Apart from Walker Lee, several hunters around also raised their bows, ready to aim at the winged dragon bird monster.
However, before anyone could complete their attack, they suddenly saw a thin, beam-like light shoot straight into the sky like a wandering dragon.
Pu-chi!
This sound was imagined by them, as the light, trailing a long tail, had already penetrated the winged dragon bird’s body.
A damage number popped up from the winged dragon bird’s body,
but because it was too far away, no one could see the exact amount.
[Wooga~~]
Right after, everyone heard the winged dragon bird let out a mournful cry before its body, drained of strength, slumped and fell straight down.
"One-shot kill?"
"That DPS, it’s a bit powerful."
"Who’s the expert up there?"
"That attack method is a bit difficult to see clearly."
As they watched the falling winged dragon bird, the several distant guards all expressed their amazement. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Birds like the winged dragon monster were at least Level 10.
To one-shot it, it had to be an attack from a Level 10 guard executing their ultimate move.
This goes to show that the person who released the streaking light attack just now was undoubtedly strong.
However, as they watched, they suddenly felt something was amiss.
Why was the bird falling for so long without hitting the ground?
And why did it look so big?
With no reference objects in the sky, coupled with poor visibility at night,
the size of the monster was difficult to estimate.
But as it got closer to the ground, everyone finally realized something was wrong.
"Quick! Move out of the way!!!"
Someone took the lead and shouted.
Phantom monsters exist between physical and non-physical states.
Falling from high altitudes, they would not impact the ground or buildings in any way.
But if they were to hit a guard, that would be a different story.
Hearing the warning, the nearby people snapped out of their stupor as if waking from a dream.
Bang!!!
As the monster’s corpse hit the floor, those who narrowly avoided it were left stunned.
Not just the ranged guards, but even those engaged with the mammoths were distracted.
"What, what is this!"
Looking at the size of the corpse, someone spoke in a stunned tone.
They had initially assumed that these winged dragon birds were probably about the size of large geese, and at most not bigger than an ostrich.
Because that’s the standard size for ordinary winged dragon birds.
But the one before them was longer than a compact car!
"Boss! It’s a Boss-level monster!"
Someone realized it first.
This claim was beyond doubt for anyone.
For phantom monsters, size was to some extent an indicator of their combat power.
And size that was clearly beyond their kin marked the presence of a Boss.
Yet, the few guards who witnessed how the monster fell were in shock and awe.
A Boss monster, one-shotted?
So who was it that made the move just now!
A Head Captain-level guard?
Head Captains are generally considered the NO.1 in a city’s defenses.
And due to the shortage of personnel, only second-tier cities or above were staffed with Head Captain-level combat power.
Magic City was quite large and divided into several districts.
Each district was overseen by a Head Captain.
The presence of a Head Captain at this hospital to assist in the defense brought great relief to the people there.
It was not just relief they felt, but also excitement.
Because if they performed well, might they catch the Head Captain’s eye?
"Ah damn it!"
And thus, during this moment of distraction for the crowd, a Determination Warrior was flung away by the mammoth’s trunk.
...
Ree Shil sat cross-legged on the rooftop of the main diagnosis building of the Hospital.
"So this is a phantom monster. It feels kind of weak.
I, a Level 1 guy, could kill it in one shot."
A thought crossed his mind, and a beam of light traveled through the sky, hovering in front of him.
It was the Flying Sword transformed from the Flying Sword Immortal.
Flying Sword
Attack Power: 109~132
Additional Attributes: Agility +30, Intelligence +30, Perception +30 freewёbnoνel.com
Additional Function 1: Can consume energy for long-distance control, where damage is linked to [Spirit]
Additional Function 2: Can consume energy to carry the owner for movement
Although the panel values of this sword were definitely not as high as the Beginning Stick, and it didn’t even reach half of it,
Ree Shil valued the two additional functions.
It could be used for long-range attacks and also provided him with the ability to fly.
In actual combat, it enabled greater flexibility.
In comparison, the Kung Fu Sheep God transformed into a Jade Pendant and the Spirit Master into earrings lacked offensive capabilities.
The Kung Fu Sheep God’s Jade Pendant provided a 150-point increase in Strength and a 150-points increase in Agility.
The Spirit Master’s earrings granted permanent magic immunity.
Both were good, but relatively speaking, he preferred to keep them as Follower cards to use.
"However, killing that monster just now did give me a nice experience points reward.
It took me straight to Level 4."
After some thought, he allocated the 3 attribute points he received entirely to the [Tamer]’s unique Summoning Quota attribute.
This raised his quota to a total of 7 points.
"It’s a bit disappointing, though. If I could’ve reached Level 5 or Level 6, that would be great.
If I reached Level 5, I could summon one more A-Level Follower.
If I reached Level 6, I could replace the current one and summon an S-Level Follower."
His gaze shifted behind him.
It wasn’t long before he had completed his first summoning.
This hooded B-Level Follower obscured by a robe had cost him 4 points of his quota.
"With these extra 3 points, I can summon another Follower.
Hmm, I wonder which C-Level card would be better to summon."
He stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop, looking down to survey the battle below.
