60: Old man Chen jumped up and scared everyone

Chen Beixuan walked forward, patted his shoulder, and smiled.

“Aren’t you going to say thank you?”

Nilo hadn't fully recovered, and he subconsciously blurted out,

“Ah… thank you…”

“Hey… how could you… holy crap! Don’t jump!!!”

Nilo watched Old Man Chen climb onto the city wall, his eyes nearly popping out!

“Old Man Chen… no, Master Chen! I didn’t mean to question you… please don’t do anything rash!”

Seeing Old Man Chen swaying precariously, looking like he could fall at any moment, he anxiously called out “Grandpa.”

Chen Beixuan was somewhat speechless, but too lazy to explain to him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t die; I’ll be back soon!”

While the two were talking, the demon army had already arrived at the city gates.

They launched an attack on the city wall, with various demonic insects climbing upwards.

On the command platform, Papachee’s gaze swept rapidly, controlling the overall situation.

His bow and arrow always found their mark at crucial moments, hitting critical locations.

Each arrow caused an explosion, eliminating hundreds to thousands of demons.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked towards the city wall not far away.

The mage guarding there was actually standing on the edge of the wall!

He frowned slightly, and after squinting to clearly see the person’s appearance, he was stunned.

It was the old man who followed Hughes.

“New recruits are getting worse and worse; there’s no reason to stand on the wall!”

“Messenger! Deliver…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he witnessed a scene that made his jaw drop!

“…He jumped?!!!”

“He must be out of his mind!”

“Does he want to die that badly!”

He cursed under his breath, feeling a bit annoyed.

But before he could close his jaw, an even more shocking scene appeared!

……

“Protective Flame!”

Whoosh—

Orange-yellow flames enveloped Chen Beixuan, who crashed heavily into the demon army.

Boom—

Fall -750.

Damage floated above his head, and his HP dropped a segment.

The azure blue magic circle and golden magic circle appeared simultaneously, instantly replenishing his HP!

+1259!

At the same time.

Within a 20-meter radius, flames erupted, and dense damage numbers floated out!

True Damage -7554, -7554, -7554, ……

Dealing 7554 damage every 0.5 seconds, which means 15108 damage floated up in 1 second!

According to reconnaissance,

The first wave of attacking demon soldiers were level 15 to 20, with HP not exceeding 10000.

They simply couldn’t withstand his damage!

Just one second after landing, the demon soldiers within a 20-meter radius were incinerated, forming a vacuum zone!

Kill notifications flooded the screen like water!

Chen Beixuan dusted off his backside, looking calm.

His level was too high, so he didn’t gain experience from kills.

He came down for two main reasons:

One was to kill BOSSes for equipment, and the second was for merit points!

[Ding! You killed [Demonic Centipede Lv18], gaining 1 merit point!]

[Ding! You killed [Demon Warrior Lv19], gaining 2 merit points!]

[Ding! You killed [Demonic Giant Frog Lv20]……]

……

The merit points from demon soldiers were higher than those from demon beasts and insects, which was reasonable.

After all, the former were regular army cannon fodder, while the latter were pure cannon fodder, so there was bound to be a distinction.

“Holy moly! Master Chen, you’re too fierce!”

Nilo’s surprised and delighted voice came from above, and Chen Beixuan waved his hand without looking back as a response.

He raised his hand and looked around, searching for traces of the BOSS.

Then he lifted his foot and walked forward.

Those demon beasts and insects had no idea what death was.

They crawled in one after another, all incinerated into dust.

Some intelligent demon soldiers, however, showed fear, avoiding him and turning to attack elsewhere.

Regarding this behavior, Chen Beixuan could only say,

“Take a Lightning Spell from me!”

Boom—

Without even needing a combo, five demon soldiers were struck dead!

The long-awaited skill upgrade notification sounded.

[Ding! Proficiency full, Lightning Spell level increased to 6 stars! Next level (6/6400)]

[Ding! Proficiency full, Spell Range Amplification level increased to 4 stars! Next level (4/1600)]

Lightning Spell’s damage increased from 1090% to 1140%, with each upgrade from 5 to 10 adding +50%.

Spell Range Amplification increased from 30% to 40%, with a maximum cast range of 28 meters.

“Hey, this is a great opportunity to grind skill proficiency.”

Chen Beixuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Because his damage was too high, his skill usage frequency became lower, which ironically slowed down leveling.

Now, with so many monsters here, he could hit them even with his eyes closed, allowing for continuous skill casting.

He could rapidly grind proficiency!

He acted immediately!

He moved towards the BOSS while frantically unleashing skills…

……

“Whose subordinate is this old man, to be so brave? That scoundrel Hughes must have hidden something!”

Watching Old Man Chen stroll leisurely through the demon army, Papachee was astonished and couldn’t help but secretly curse Hughes.

Could such a fierce person be a new recruit?

Only a ghost would believe that!

If Hughes hadn’t already left, he would have dragged him over for a good interrogation!

Putting such a powerful person on the city wall was like using an anti-aircraft gun to swat a mosquito!

A waste of talent!

Papachee secretly resolved that once the battle ended, he would assign the old man to a more suitable position.

Looking at the fiery glow amidst the dark, surging waves, his lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.

“…That old scoundrel, he even brought me a surprise…”

……

[Ding! Proficiency full, Protective Flame level increased to 4 stars! Next level (3/1600)]

[Ding! Proficiency full, Freezing Spell level increased to 2 stars! Next level (2/400)]

[Ding! Proficiency full, Lightning Chain level increased to 4 stars! Next level (5/1600)]

Chen Beixuan excitedly opened his skill panel to check the changes.

Protective Flame’s damage reached 310%, and its range increased from 20 meters to 24 meters.

The vacuum zone around him expanded again!

Freezing Spell’s damage increased from 400% to 440%, which was decent.

Lightning Chain’s damage increased to 410%, earning it the title of least-used skill.

He closed the skill panel.

He looked up and realized he had already reached the BOSS.

The three-meter-tall giant bear roared at the sky and slapped Chen Beixuan!

Bang!

-0.

“Are you weak?”

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow and lifted his staff!

“Lightning Spell!”

Violent lightning suddenly struck down, dealing explosive damage!
