24: Fire forbidden spell meteor shower, bloom for me

Under Lin Ling's lead, the two easily bypassed all the dark creatures and soon arrived at the peak of a mountain called Sharp Peak Mountain, located deep within the East Lookout Mountain Range.

"Brother, among Mage Professions, Fire-type has the highest damage. You must have put points into Fireball Technique, right? Ghouls are Dark-type monsters, so Fire-type has a damage bonus. Let me show you what I can do first."

Ji Mo said, seeing that there was no path ahead and two Ghouls scattered in front, which were clearly unavoidable.

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly vanished from Lin Ling's sight.

This move surprised Lin Ling slightly.

He was certain this was neither Shadow Steps nor a common Assassin's Invisibility Skill.

A common Assassin would have a very short pre-cast animation when activating Invisibility, and if they activated it while moving at high speed, they would leave afterimages.

However, Ji Mo disappeared instantly, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Lin Ling squinted his eyes, trying to find Ji Mo's whereabouts. He already possessed mental power far exceeding ordinary people, and with his experience from two lifetimes, even the slightest rustle of wind could allow him to perceive the location of an invisible person.

But at this moment, he was surprised to find that he truly couldn't find any trace of Ji Mo.

Just then, a level 25 Red-haired Ghoul, dozens of meters away, suddenly deviated from its walking path.

It would be difficult for a Professional who didn't know Ghouls well to notice the abnormality. In his previous life, Lin Ling had killed countless Ghouls here, so he naturally saw the anomaly at a glance.

Lin Ling immediately made a judgment: Ji Mo must be near that Ghoul.

Indeed,

The next second, a damage value that surprised even Lin Ling lit up above the Ghoul's head.

[-2450]

Roar!!!

The Ghoul's HP instantly dropped by half, and it let out an angry roar.

Its roar attracted another Ghoul not far away.

The two Ghouls began to attack wildly.

Just then, another damage value appeared above the low-health Ghoul.

[-2780]

The Ghoul's HP instantly bottomed out, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Lin Ling was just about to praise Ji Mo's damage, but the next second, an unbelievable damage value, even to Lin Ling, appeared directly above the full-health Ghoul's head.

[-4820]

Bang!!

The Ghoul fell to the ground.

Instant kill.

An 8th-level Assassin, instantly killing a level 25 wild monster with one hit.

Ji Mo's figure slowly appeared beside the corpse, bent down to pick up a blue necklace, and with a flash, he was beside Lin Ling.

"Brother, how's my damage?"

"Were you scared?"

"Couldn't find my trace, could you?"

"I'm just asking, am I cool or not?"

"I am the Invincible, Invincible little cutie…"

"Invincible is so… Ji Mo…"

Ji Mo swayed his body and laughed beside Lin Ling.

"Your talent is decent," Lin Ling praised.

"What do you mean 'decent'?"

"Such an amazing talent like mine is only 'decent' to you?"

"Oh heavens, oh earth, is there no humanity left (〒︿〒)!"

Ji Mo immediately looked as if he had nothing left to live for.

"Alright, it's a bull's talent," Lin Ling said with a smile, seeing him like this.

Ji Mo: "Bull? Your description... it should at least be a Tyrannosaurus?"

Lin Ling: "..."

Seeing the three black lines appear on Lin Ling's forehead, Ji Mo immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

Actually, being praised by Lin Ling made Ji Mo feel like he was floating.

It had been three years; he finally managed to shock God Lin once. This was truly a moment of triumph.

"SS-Class Talent: Requiem. Active Skill: Invisibility consumes no mana, enhances the invisibility effect, and increases attack power by 300% for 60 seconds after entering invisibility. Passive Skill: Death's Descent: The next basic attack after a kill increases attack power by 600%."

Ji Mo introduced his talent, looking at Lin Ling with a smug expression.

"How about it? I'm just asking, isn't your brother's talent awesome?" Ji Mo brought up the old topic again.

Lin Ling touched his nose and said with a smile, "It's decent."

"I don't want to live anymore (〒︿〒)" Ji Mo's pride was immediately severely deflated by Lin Ling's 'decent.' He seemed to think of something and suddenly changed the subject, "Oh right, Brother Lin, I heard your Xuanfu Base City was attacked by an Undead Archmage today?"

Lin Ling stretched, took out his Yaoguang Staff again, "Attacked? No, not really? Maybe it was just a new Professional leveling up?"

"But I heard that Undead creatures within a hundred miles broke out of the ground. This is definitely a Forbidden Spell. Can a new Professional use a Forbidden Spell to clear an area? That's too ridiculous, isn't it?"

Ji Mo was speechless, suddenly feeling that Lin Ling seemed a bit off today. Was he stimulated by the awakening event today?

"You should be mentally prepared. Maybe there really is a new Professional who can clear an area with a Forbidden Spell," Lin Ling said with a smile.

Ji Mo pouted, "If you can find a new Professional who can clear an area with a Forbidden Spell, I'll give him my SS-Class Fighter Jet."

"Is that true?" Lin Ling's lips curved slightly.

"Of course, what Ji Mo says is like spilled water." Ji Mo nodded affirmingly.

"Then you're not allowed to cry when you give your plane away, okay?" Lin Ling said with a smile.

Ji Mo pouted, "It's just an SS-Class Fighter Jet. Why would I cry?"

"Where's the control core of your SS-Class Fighter Jet?" Lin Ling suddenly asked.

Ji Mo looked puzzled but still took out a crystal cube, similar to a dice, from his storage space.

This was precisely the control core of the SS-Class Fighter Jet; as long as one held this core, they could control the SS-Class Fighter Jet.

Lin Ling's lips curved slightly, and he snatched the intelligent control core, looking up at the brilliant night sky.

"Doggy, do you like shooting stars?"

Ji Mo was slightly startled and subconsciously shook his head, "No, I don't. Shooting stars are rare and fleeting, too ethereal, and they can't help me level up. I prefer something more practical."

"Doggy, since you showed me what you can do, I'll show you something too."

A mysterious smile appeared on Lin Ling's face as he slowly walked towards the mountaintop, carrying the Yaoguang Staff.

Ji Mo was full of questions, wondering what Lin Ling was going to do.

But at this moment, Lin Ling's equipment glowed with a faint white light, and he shone like an Honorable Divine.

"Brother, there are no more monsters on the mountaintop," Ji Mo reminded him.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Lin Ling raise the staff in his hand high.

"The gentle starry sky

Should move you

I am behind you

Arranging a sky for you."

As Lin Ling's chant concluded, the sky suddenly turned dark red.

Ji Mo stared at the fiery red sky with his mouth agape, but the next second, he heard Lin Ling's loud shout.

"Fire-type Forbidden Spell — Meteor Shower, bloom for me!"
