"Mage’s Staff"
Quality: ExcellentEffect: Reduces mana consumption when casting spellsSpecial: Slightly increases maximum spell range (Activated at Level 2 Mage)
The staff cost 50 silver coins.
It wasn’t that Kanzaki Rei didn’t want to buy a better staff—it was simply that none suitable were available.
Effects like reducing mana consumption, increasing mana recovery, or speeding up casting were of little use to him.
And the effect considered the most desirable—"Reduced Chant Ti"—was completely useless for Rei.
It was worth ntioning...
Staffs with the Reduced Chant Ti attribute could sell for more than 20 gold coins.
It made Rei almost want to turn his no-chant casting ability into a staff effect and sell it.
Maybe that was what people ant by a god-tier attribute.
Although the slightly increased spell range effect wasn’t bad, it still fell far short compared to Reduced Chant Ti.
Both of these pieces of equipnt had been purchased with Rei’s own money.
Izparut hadn’t left him any equipnt.
Rei pointed toward the distance.
The other two teammates also stood up.
Just from their posture alone, it was obvious they were completely different from the Level 2 adventurers from yesterday.
The carefree attitude was gone.
In its place was a sense of reliability.
It seed they had specifically trained to fight while riding vehicles.
"I see it."
Through a gap in the forest trees, an enormous spider appeared in everyone’s view.
Its eight legs stabbed deeply into the ground as it stood motionless.
Ghostface Spider
It was nad after the enormous ghostly face pattern on its back.
A highly unusual species of spider known for its powerful ntal attacks.
The mont soone looked at the ghostly face on its back, they would imdiately experience overwhelming psychological fear.
Buzz—
Almost the instant Rei saw the spider, a wave of terror ford inside his mind.
But before the fear could fully take hold—
A warm sensation flowed through his consciousness, dissolving the rising panic instantly.
Rei glanced at Loth beside him.
"Inspire Mind (Tier 3) (LV: 2)"
This was the strength of a Level 3 Healer.
Her reaction speed was incredible—she had dispelled the abnormal ntal state imdiately.
At nearly the sa mont, Mazer drew his bow.
An arrow rested on the string—
And flas ignited along its shaft.
"We’re about to enter attack range."
However, before Mazer’s shooting range was reached—
BOOM!
Five or six arcs of purple lightning flashed violently.
Lightning Flash
Twelvefold Cast—
BOOM!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—
Thunder roared across the battlefield.
Even before the echoes faded, flas erupted instantly!
"Earthfire Eruption (Tier 2) (LV: 115)"
A Tier 2 Fire Magic spell!
An evolved form derived from Fire Pillar!
BOOM!
Flas burst violently from the ground, instantly engulfing the Ghostface Spider!
BANG!
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
"Rising Impact Pillar (Tier 1) (LV: 201)"
One pillar after another erupted violently from the earth.
This ti, it wasn’t just three pillars—
Nine pillars shot upward from different angles toward the Ghostface Spider.
Each pillar branched into multiple hardened spikes.
The skill Impact Pillar had fully reached Level 200 after yesterday.
And Rei had evolved it once again.
The flas slowly faded.
The Ghostface Spider was left impaled across the pillars—
Completely motionless.
Instant kill.
Mazer confird it was dead.
But it had been far too fast.
He had followed many adventuring parties before.
Even the strongest Level 3 adventurer team he had ever worked with couldn’t have dealt with a Ghostface Spider so effortlessly.
At that mont, the Dragon Rhino was still charging forward toward the battlefield.
They hadn’t even needed to deploy a proper formation.
To instantly kill a Tier 3 Lord monster like that...
That was power usually only seen in elite Level 4 adventurers.
Rei stopped the vehicle at roughly 100 ters away.
He let Mazer walk over alone.
Rei had absolutely no intention of approaching that corpse.
Especially since it was a spider.
Seeing sothing that big...
Any human from Earth would feel instinctive fear.
Even if it was already dead.
Loth and Trand still hadn’t recovered from their shock.
This mission had been far easier than they had expected.
No... not just easier.
They had practically done nothing at all.
So this was the apprentice of the legendary Izparut.
What else could they say...
As expected of soone taught by that legend.
Compared to the Hamr-Tail Horned Bull they killed yesterday, this spider had been even more fragile.
Mazer returned after harvesting materials from the spider.
A delighted smile was on his face.
"Pretty good haul."
"One of its legs has the Hatred attribute."
"If used as crafting material, it can produce a spear with a natural Hatred enchantnt."
"Its eyes also underwent a mutation—they can be used as dicinal ingredients..."
After tallying everything up, the Lord-level Ghostface Spider produced materials worth 20 gold coins.
Mazer couldn’t help feeling envious.
If this had been an equal team split—
He would have earned 5 gold already.
But...
That clearly wasn’t the case.
After seeing Rei’s strength, Mazer understood that this wasn’t a team mission.
It was more like being carried by Rei.
"Yeah, that’s a pretty nice haul."
Rei stored the spoils inside his storage space.
Before he bought the storage ring, Joel used to carry the materials for him.
As a Gatherer, Joel naturally owned a storage ring.
Still—
20 gold coins.
Even considering the Harvest Month bonus, it was quite a lot.
Could it be because he had prayed to Yakaticto?
Did worshiping gods really work?
Thinking about it carefully...
If it didn’t work, why would people rush to worship them so eagerly?
But then again...
Rei rembered the fanatical believers back on Earth.
So maybe it didn’t necessarily prove anything.
Forget it.
There was no point overthinking it.
Instead of guessing, he could simply ask soone later.
After finishing the spider harvest—
Everyone climbed back into the vehicle and headed toward the next Lord monster location.
Today, Rei had accepted 10 commissions.
Among them:
9 missions to eliminate Tier 3 Lord monsters
1 mission to eliminate a monster horde
Normally, adventurers weren’t allowed to accept so many quests at once.
The reason was simple.
Imagine if a single adventurer took all available quests but never completed them.
Dungeons outside the city still needed to be cleared.
Eventually, either a disaster would occur—or soone else would solve the problem while the quest holder reaped the rewards.
Because of this, every adventurer had a strict quest limit.
Under normal circumstances, Rei shouldn’t have been able to accept so many commissions.
However—
Rei was officially registered under Izparut’s party.
A Legendary Adventurer Party had extrely high quest privileges.
Combined with the incoming Monster Tide, Sherry had granted Rei permission to take 10 quests.
The second Tier 3 Lord monster was called:
Flatalon Bahk
It resembled a gorilla with flaming fists.
But its most striking feature was the burning tail behind it.
What the hell...
A Fla Demon Gorilla?
Cold energy gathered at the tip of Rei’s staff.
Ice Lance
Whoosh—
Forty-two Ice Lances shot out instantly from different angles toward Flatalon Bahk’s body.
The Ice Lances were incredibly fast!
Flatalon Bahk didn’t even have ti to react before being struck by all of them.
Each lance exploded into a brilliant ice blossom the mont it collided with its target.
Imdiately afterward, bone-piercing cold burrowed into its body like a drill, freezing it from the inside.
It tried to turn around—
But its movents had already beco extrely stiff.
Crash!
Suddenly, a massive wave rose from the earth—
And ca crashing down upon Flatalon Bahk.
BOOM—
When the wave collapsed, its body was already covered in frost.
Across its entire body—
Blood and ice-filled holes gaped open everywhere.
