"What? So this is Faustus, the guy who’s been making all that noise lately? Wait, what did you say—Level 50?!"
"WTF? Where are the GMs? Are they blind? This guy is blatantly cheating!"
"You’ve got to be kidding . I’ve been grinding nonstop since going online, and I’m only Level 19. How the hell is he already Level 50?"
"No, seriously, why are these mobs getting one-shot the mont they touch his hands?"
"Are you even going to let us play? At least leave so scraps for the rest of us!"
Ignoring the explosive reactions from the crowd of players, Daniel simply continued clearing the monsters in front of him as if nothing had happened.
With his overwhelming intervention, every monster in sight was wiped out in less than five minutes.
[Ding! Attention all players within the map: The second wave of elite-grade monster tide is about to arrive!]
[Monster Types: Mutated Wolf King, Frenzied Boar King, Venom Spider Queen...]
[Level Range: 20–30 (elite-grade)]
[Quantity: 5,000]
Elite-grade monsters were far stronger than normal mobs. A Level 30 Wolf King could one-shot low-level players with a single charge.
But Daniel still stood at the very front, releasing volleys of arrows with an expressionless face.
This ti, he used his clones.
Ten clones appeared at the sa ti. Together with his main body, eleven overlapping waves of Arrow Rain crashed into the monster horde simultaneously.
The scene was downright apocalyptic.
Explosions filled the area for a thousand ters in every direction, and even the ground was blasted nearly ten ters deep.
Elite-grade monsters?
They were still getting one-shot.
"What... what does this even an?"
The players participating in the event stared with wide eyes.
When they saw the notice for the second wave of elite-grade monsters, they had all been worried about whether they could even survive it.
But the instant the monsters spawned, before they could even see what they looked like, a storm of "bombs" had already flown over and erased them all!?
"You’ve got to be kidding . He’s even bringing hacks into this ga?"
"Holy crap! He’s doing it this openly? Rigged! This ga is rigged! I can’t play this at all!"
"If the GMs still don’t ban him, I’m quitting!"
"Oh? And who exactly do you think you are? You think the GMs are begging you to stay?"
"...Are we even playing the sa ga?"
"..."
At that mont, countless players fell into a mix of shock, numbness, and anger.
But the truly sharp players had already rushed forward to finish off the monsters that still had a sliver of HP left.
What a joke.
These were Level 20–30 elite-grade monsters. At their current levels, unless they tead up, fighting them was practically suicide.
As for resisting this elite-grade invasion, sure, they could theoretically brute-force it with numbers—but if too many people died, the EXP loss would be painful.
And besides, the more people there were, the less at everyone got.
Right now, the monsters had already been blown into near-death. With a bit of luck, one touch would be enough to steal the kill. And that was personal EXP all to themselves—an opportunity this huge was sothing you could fight over and still fail to get.
Daniel took in everyone’s reactions, but he didn’t stop the players who rushed in to harvest the low-HP monsters.
He had already eaten the at.
Naturally, he had to leave so soup for everyone else.
While most players were still busy complaining, the third wave of the beast tide had already arrived in silence.
[Monster Types: Mixed wave of flying monsters ground monsters]
[Level Range: 30–35 (elite-grade)]
[Quantity: 2,000]
Not to ntion that they were all elite-grade and even higher level—just the flying monsters alone were enough to leave many lee players helpless.
Daniel glanced up.
In the next instant, he activated God Speed and flashed straight into the sky, continuously unleashing Arrow Rain in midair.
His arrows blanketed the heavens, and the roar of explosions shook the clouds.
The flying monsters fell from the sky like a hailstorm.
When the players saw that scene, they had gone completely numb inside.
"What the hell... is he even human?"
"I’m seriously starting to suspect he’s a plant from the ga company. It’s a new ga, so having a shill isn’t weird."
"What kind of shill pulls dozens of levels ahead of second place? The player in second place just hit Level 25!"
"This is absurd. So we’re just here to be spectators?"
"Are you stupid? Everyone else already rushed in to last-hit the low-HP mobs, and only an idiot like you is still standing back here questioning things!"
"...No, I’m a priest."
"Uh..."
Right then—
A cold and urgent system notification suddenly rang out.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[The final BOSS of this beast tide event is about to arrive. All players, please prepare yourselves!]
Before the players could even react—
Crack!
A gash suddenly tore open in the dark-red sky.
The next mont, a gigantic shadow dropped violently from the rift and smashed straight into the ground outside the village entrance, making the entire Starter Village tremble without end.
Boom!
Rumble—!
As the dust settled and everyone focused their eyes, they saw a colossal beast over twenty ters tall.
Its body was covered in pitch-black scales. Three pairs of wings spread across its back, and a spiral horn atop its head crackled with lightning.
[Thunderwing Dragon · LV45 (blackgold-grade BOSS)]
The players all sucked in a sharp breath.
A blackgold-grade boss!
The strongest monsters they had encountered so far were only silver-grade monsters—and even those were beyond them.
A Level 45 blackgold-grade boss, under normal circumstances, would require at least several hundred players of the sa level raiding together to take down.
But the mont Daniel saw the massive creature, he couldn’t help licking his lips.
His four core attributes had already reached outrageous levels, pushing his combat power to an absurd height. He still hadn’t tested what it felt like to go all out.
In the next instant, ten clones appeared behind him.
Eleven bows aid at the Thunderwing Dragon at the sa ti.
The Thunderwing Dragon seed to sense that it had been locked on by Daniel’s skill, and it let out a furious roar toward the sky.
With a single flap of its wings, endless bolts of lightning rained down from above!
Boom boom boom—!
Countless players were caught in the crossfire and blasted into ashes while still wearing blank expressions.
Daniel used God Speed in rapid succession, his figure flickering back and forth through the storm of lightning.
At the sa ti, eleven volleys of Arrow Rain poured down.
Boom!
Boom boom boom—!
The explosions instantly swallowed the Thunderwing Dragon. Although it dodged nearly half of the attacks in the first mont, its HP still dropped by 30% in an instant!
"Oh? Pretty tough, huh?"
The Thunderwing Dragon was enraged. It spat out a massive pillar of lightning that swept across the battlefield.
Daniel dodged imdiately, erging without a scratch.
Seeing this, the Thunderwing Dragon tore through the clouds high above, preparing to dive straight down in an attack.
But at the very sa mont, Daniel activated God Speed as well, instantly chasing up into the sky and confronting the Thunderwing Dragon face-to-face.
The Thunderwing Dragon, seeing this tiny human daring to oppose it head-on, went completely berserk. Lightning surged across its entire body, while a black-and-blue sphere of energy rapidly gathered in its maw.
Daniel’s pupils contracted. Instantly, he activated God Speed at maximum range and flashed a thousand ters away.
BOOM!!!
A black-and-blue beam slamd into the ground.
The power of the Thunderwing Dragon’s breath instantly flattened everything within several hundred ters. Countless players who failed to dodge in ti were directly vaporized.
But Daniel remained completely unhard.
As soon as the explosion ended, he flashed back once more.
This ti, he had no intention of holding back.
He drew his bow and fired one final arrow at the enraged Thunderwing Dragon.
The arrow pierced straight through the Thunderwing Dragon’s skull, and the explosion instantly wiped out its remaining 70% HP!
[Ding! You have killed Thunderwing Dragon · LV45 (blackgold-grade BOSS)]
[Obtained items: Thunderwing Dragon Wings (platinum-grade), Thunder Dragon Core ×1 (blackgold-grade), Death Curse Potion ×10, 500 gold coins...]
The giant corpse fell from the sky and crashed heavily into the ground, smashing out a massive crater.
The entire instance fell deathly silent.
All the players raised their heads and stared at the figure in the sky holding a silver bow.
Only after a long while did soone on the World Channel tremblingly type out a single line:
"I was wrong. He’s not a GM... he’s a god!"
"..."
[Ding! The BOSS has been slain!]
[World-level Event ended early. Calculating points...]
System notifications rang out beside the ears of countless players.
But by then, most of them were already too stunned to react.
Daniel landed at the village entrance and looked at the battlefield, now left in complete ruin. A smile curled at the corners of his lips.
After this, the entire Stellar would probably rember the na "Faustus."
