[Mana Storm]and[Divine Grace Chant]both provide one free spell cast and one instant Tier Seven magic spell cast, which Lin Yi hasn't used.
Like your ultimate skill, you don't use it lightly.
Seeing a bunch of minions, surely no one would really want to waste their ultimate on small fry?
So Lin Yi has always planned to try his luck and see if this Wailing Forest has any BOSS-level target that could give him a thrill.
Now this Tiger King, without a doubt, is the perfect target.
But before Lin Yi could cast a spell, suddenly five or six beams of white light surged from his body consecutively!
[You leveled up to LV.8! Gain 10 free attributes!]
[You leveled up to LV.9! Gain 10 free attributes!]
[You leveled up to LV.10! Gain 10 free attributes!]
[You leveled up to LV.11! Gain 10 free attributes!]
[You leveled up to LV.12! Gain 10 free attributes!]
This sight surprised Lin Yi a bit.
Even the nearby Tiger King was taken aback.
What's going on with this human?
How did he suddenly level up so much!
Lin Yi surely didn't know that the two Molten Fire Demons he summoned had driven away the beast tide from the professionals and slain them, earning him a huge wave of experience.
However, this small interlude only prolonged the Tiger King's death by half a minute.
The next moment, Lin Yi extended a finger.
Pointing at the Tiger King.
The next moment, the sky changed color!
Tremendous magic power waves stirred the fire elements between heaven and earth, making them all go berserk!
The next moment, the canopy above the already almost completely dark forest lit up with a deep red color again.
Like a sunset revisiting!
"Roar—!"
"Woo woo woo—!"
The entire tiger pride began to panic.
Beast roars and whimpers rose one after another!
Animals always sense disasters far more acutely than humans.
They all sensed the impending doom.
Even the Tiger King's constant roars could not quell its group and kin's urge to flee for safety.
Some adult fierce tigers had already started running on all fours, giving their all to escape from here.
Yet, what awaited them was despair!
Because the range of the Tier Seven magic, Celestial Flame Dragon Breath, was utterly massive!
And since Lin Yi was casting instantly.
He completely spared himself the long chanting time.
Thus, the attack struck faster than anyone could imagine!
"Hiss—!!"
The elemental giant dragon in the sky let out a long dragon roar, then its huge wings kept flapping!
The raised head suddenly unleashed large amounts of scorching dragon breath the next moment!
The width of the dragon breath was beyond measure in meters.
It had to be measured in kilometers!
The dragon flame, like a curtain of rain, stretched over tens of kilometers, and wherever it passed, the dense forest instantaneously wilted, turning into charred embers!
Countless pitiful creatures hadn't even reacted.
Disaster had already befallen!
Thirty seconds later.
The elemental giant dragon in the sky's unleashed dragon breath directly divided the entire Wailing Forest in two; the forest's edges remained lush with vegetation and trees.
But the central area, covering a range of over a dozen kilometers, was already burning with scorched soil like an inferno!
Soon after, the magic power waves gradually calmed down.
The silhouette of the giant dragon, formed by pure fire elements, slowly dissipated at the horizon's edge.
The professionals swiftly retreating from the forest's outskirts were spared from harm.
After all, the target of this Celestial Flame Dragon Breath wasn't them.
Yet, the overwhelming heat waves and terrifying storm they felt while running told them.
If the magic's target were them.
They wouldn't have escaped in time!
They would have been reduced to ashes by now.
Jiangcheng's foremost warrior, Jiang Xian, also a Mage, visibly trembled after witnessing the whole scene.
He rode on his mount, the heavenly horse.
Overlooking the entire Wailing Forest from the sky.
This forest, spanning over a thousand kilometers, had a central segment with apocalyptic burn scars, silently showcasing the terrifying power of Tier Seven magic!
That is earth-shattering might capable of redefining landscapes!
It was not a Sixth Transformation Great Mage that arrived in Jiangcheng.
But a Tier Seven Mage Saint!
Why would such a figure come to such a small level-five base city, and why would he use such high-tier magic in this low-level farming zone?
Tonight, including myself, quite a few people might lose sleep...
...
Meanwhile.
At the center of Wailing Forest.
Or rather, this place can no longer be called a forest.
Where Lin Yi's gaze reached was full of blazing flames, with trees crackling and sending sparks flying as they were incinerated.
Even the gigantic cave before Lin Yi had become barren.
The howling wind had also completely ceased.
From now on, Wailing Forest would no longer resemble its former self, and its name would entirely change.
As for the tiger group that previously surrounded Lin Yi, all of them had turned into ashes, including that majestic, fierce Tiger King, which had now transformed into a few pieces of equipment and a skill book lying quietly on the ground.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the Tiger King was a BOSS and dropped loot!
Lin Yi picked up the two pieces of equipment.
Upon inspection, they were all warrior-type plate armor, and their grade was only black iron. Selling them at the auction would only fetch a few thousand Xia coins.
The truly valuable item was the skill book!
In this world, the most precious thing is skill.
Most professionals, due to the lack of skill points, have to make choices between skills.
But the principle of abundance is understood by everyone.
Some skills, just having them, even if not high-tier, can sometimes show surprising effects.
Lin Yi picked up the skill book to examine its attributes.
[Beginner Skill Book: Wind Blade]
[Type: Skill Book (Tome)]
[Profession: Mage]
[Learning Level: LV.5]
[Effect: Use it to gain new magic: Wind Blade.]
Lin Yi's eyes lit up!
Nice stuff!
What luck!
Not only did he get an extremely rare dropped skill book, but also one he could use!
Originally he planned to sell this skill book for some Xia coins and see if he could buy another skill book applicable for Mages.
Now it seems he'll go straight to the goal.
The price differences between skill books for different professions are immense.
For some reason, warrior-knight type straightforward professions have notably cheaper skill books.
Mages and archers, especially, Mages.
Skill books for them are sky-high in price!
And in a small base city like Jiangcheng, the goods available at the trading house are typically beginner skill books; there aren't any that upon learning, instantly reach second or third-tier.
Lin Yi directly used the skill book.
The next moment, he received a prompt.
[Congratulations, skill book used successfully, you have acquired a new skill: Wind Blade!]
