I'm Really Not Targeting the Mages

Chapter 15: Grind the Bone and Scatter the Powder

Roger’s speed was very fast.

He was like an nimble goat, jumping up and down on the hillside, fluttering and moving around.

Some skeleton soldiers noticed this bold adventurer.

They carried their crude weapons and faced towards the mountain, prepared to stop him.

But their response was really too slow.

Roger didn’t even need to use the Cloud Mist Footwork. Relying only on Hermit Ranger’s own running speed bonus, he passed by them fleetingly.

Puu!

He stomped hard against a hard rock, then jumped high and rushed into the deeper part of the skeleton phalanx like a hungry tiger leaping towards sheep.

Next second, he raised the back of his hand slightly, and the ninth spell which he had already finished reciting instantly activated the power of the suicide ring!

2nd Circle Spell – [Extreme Burning Storm]!

With a muffled boom, three tornadoes of astonishing fires rose from the ground, and with Roger as the center, they constantly grew and spread!

Those fiery tongues of flame seemed to be vicious monsters from the purgatory, ruthlessly drawing the skeleton soldiers into the storm.

In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes which was sent up into the sky!

It was dusk at this moment, and due to the terrain of the pass, the wind was blowing strongly.

In this enthusiastic blend of wind and fire, no one knew how many skeleton soldiers had been ruthlessly obliterated!

The setting sun on the horizon gradually faded.

The fire on the ground remained.

...

[You killed 1 skeleton soldier, making 100 skeleton soldiers in total. You have achieved a new milestone – grinding the bone and scattering the powder!]

[You got 1 XP]

[Your fear resistance had been slightly increased]

...

Surrounded by ultra-high temperature magic flames, Roger was in a good mood, and he was even in the mood to read the new milestone.

...

[Grinding the Bone and Scattering the Powder (C-grade milestone)]

[How to obtain: Completely crush the body and soul of 100 enemies of any form]

[Reward: 1 milestone point]

[The next stage: completely crush the body and soul of 1,000 enemies of any form]

[Note: It is necessary to turn every enemy into dust, after all, it is too risky to bet that they will not resurrect on the spot.]

...

This note won Roger’s heart.

He decided to set the [Grinding the Bone and Scattering the Powder] milestone as a hard target when dealing with every enemy in the future, he must not be careless on any occasion.

He could also conveniently accumulate milestone points.

“It’s no wonder that everyone admires mages. The feeling that you can accumulate experience points while just standing there is really amazing.”

“But... although the extreme burning storm is good in every aspect, it’s just a bit too hot.”

Although the fire tornado kept spreading out, Roger was still affected.

Although he was immune to the magic damage of the burning storm, he still felt really hot.

Fortunately, he had coated his clothes with a layer of [Cold Fish Fat] in advance to keep away the fire.

Otherwise, he might have to run naked when the extreme burning storm was over.

...

Taking advantage of the fire, everyone from the crusade team also took the opportunity to finish gathering together.

They gathered into a neat formation, drawing a clear line with the chaotic skeletons.

Looking at the expanding fire tornado, shock was written all over everyone’s faces.

“Roger...what is his profession?”

Terry couldn’t help but ask.

Dorothy was also dumbfounded. “I always thought he was a ranger.”

Terry shook his head and said, “It’s definitely not a ranger.”

“Only the legendary “True Dragon Warlock” are able to not fear the flames! ”

Dorothy opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She always thought that she was the person in town who knew Roger the best, but she didn’t expect that even she didn’t manage to figure out Roger’s profession!

“No wonder he could single-handedly take down the red tide zombie tribe.”

Terry took off the helmet and put it on his waist, staring at the center of the burning storm. “But... has he always been this high-profile?”

The others shook their heads.

Dorothy bit her lip. “No.”

...

“He was only like this after killing the red tide corpse queen.”

“I don’t quite understand either...”

Terry smiled slightly, “That’s it.”

“Huh?” Dorothy was confused.

“Have you not realised it yet?”

Terry put on his helmet again and wiped his long sword covered with bone powder. “He is planning to leave soon!”

Dorothy was stunned for an instant.

Because in this world, leaving meant that it would be hard to meet again.

She had seen too many adventurers leave Tongma Town, head to Gem City, and embark on the thorny road of chasing their dreams, never to be seen again.

“Since he is leaving, he can be unscrupulous.”

“Maybe today, we can have the honor to witness his true strength.”

...

“Let’s all cheer up, we can’t hold Roger back!”

Terry raised his two-handed sword with a solemn expression.

The next moment, he charged towards the remaining skeleton soldiers.

Everyone immediately called out and followed.

...

Under the suppression of the extreme burning storm, the Skeleton Army disintegrated at the speed of light.

The roar from the dark tunnel became louder, but no more monsters rushed out.

Roger’s gaze swept across the entire battlefield, but he still couldn’t find a trace of the Corpse Demon.

This was not surprising.

The opponent even had techniques like the Body Double Magic Pattern which could fool the Qi Divination Technique, so it was only natural that he was not so easy to be discovered.

“Huh?”

At this moment, Roger suddenly noticed something abnormal.

Some floating particles appeared on the surface of the suture monster that was stabbed by Dorothy.

Soon, the particles increased more and more.

Amidst the light of the fire and the setting sun, a crystal clear and mysterious blue could be seen.

“It’s a crystal of rich magic power.”

The strong warning from the Qi Divination Technique made Roger focus all of his attention on these abnormal magic crystals.

Generally speaking, this kind of high-concentration magic crystal would only appear in the mage professions that were about to advance!

“Corpse Demon!”

As soon as this thought emerged, the suture monster’s belly was torn from the inside by a ghostly blue claw.

Puff puff!

The paw was stained with green pus and red blood, and it looked very sick.

Soon, a weird creature, half ghost and half skeleton, crawled out of the suture monster’s belly.

Its appearance was really unflattering: A humanoid appearance, with the lower half completely turned into ghost form, but the upper body still had half of the ribs and sternum. The two arms extending from the shoulder blades were extremely short, and the palms had degenerated into bird claws covered with a blue film. Its head was very large, occupying one-third of its body size. The translucent skull seemed to be forcibly bloated, and there was a blazing fire hidden in the hollow eye sockets.

More and more magic power crystallized from all directions, attaching to that pair of ghost fires.

“What a surprise! The adventurers in Tongma Town.”

A sharp voice came from its hollow chest cavity, “It’s a pity... you don’t even know what you are facing!”

Before the words fell, a strong sense of majesty emerged from the monster.

All the adventurers who were fighting staggered involuntarily.

“This is... level suppression?”

Terry couldn’t help muttering to himself.

From their perception, the pressure from this monster was getting stronger and stronger!

The storm gradually stopped.

Roger walked out slowly and retrieved his equipment.

“Qi Divination Technique!”

He locked on the monster with a strong, bloody aura.

With the continuous emergence of magic crystals, the relevant data of the monster was constantly jumping and refreshing!

...

[Corpse Demon LV11, HP: 167, Weakness: Lightning]

[Magic Field: Curse]

...

[Ghost Mage-Corpse Demon LV13, HP: 194, Weakness: Lightning]

[Magic Field: Curse]

...

[Parasite-Ghost Mage-Corpse Demon LV15, HP: 270, Weakness: Lightning]

[Magic Field: Curse]

[Super Magic Technique: Multiple Casting]

...

Walla-walla!

The excess magic crystals formed a thin layer of magic armor on the surface of the monster’s body!

Along with this scene, the transformation of the corpse demon finally came to an end.

“His real body is leeching within the belly of the suture monster!”

“His real level is up to LV15!”

“A super magic technique of multiple casting!”

These were the second, third and fourth trump cards of the Corpse Demon!

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
