Chapter 42 (2/2)

Following a horde of damage numbers, Lin Fan's exp bar shot up once more. But even so, his surroundings were still filled with an uncountable number of locusts. Fortunately Lin Fan's spells had a low cooldown time, allowing him to swiftly slaughter them. Moreover, even if he got hit, the Ring of Conversation all but nullified the damage.

At the moment, Lin Fan had forgotten everything except the two spells' cooldown times and how much time they bought upon clearing out the locusts. Apart from that, was when were the most suitable times to drink potions.

The endless swarm forced Lin Fan to focus everything on the current situation. In Lin Fan's mind, there were only the monsters. He was constantly thinking of how to deal with them more efficiently.

”Ground Spike, Fire s.h.i.+eld, Wrathful Tide”… ”Ground Spike, Wrathful Tide”…

Finally, Lin Fan had the best method. After using Ground Spike, he would cast Fire s.h.i.+eld to block the attacks. Moreover, because of the sheer number of attacks, Fire s.h.i.+eld's reflect effect was virtually guaranteed to trigger each time. Unfortunately, the amount killed by it was miniscule. On the bright side, Fire s.h.i.+eld's skill level swiftly increased under the barrage of locusts.

After G.o.d knows how much time, skills, and potions, to the point where Lin Fan was just mindlessly doing things, he finally brought the number of locusts down to several hundred.

”Wrathful Tide” Naturally, that didn't stop him. Lin Fan once more cast Wrathful tide, leaving only a few stragglers that tried to attack him.

”Fire s.h.i.+eld” Lin Fan used Fire s.h.i.+eld, which reflected their damage, finis.h.i.+ng them off.

”Dammit! I didn't get anything from this!” Lin Fan swore as he looked at his surroundings.There wasn't a single item in sight. Not even a piece of copper.

”I just fought over a hundred thousand locusts and the only thing I have to show for it is experience!” Despite being discontent, Lin Fan still understood the logic behind it. The locusts were clearly left here to train mages. There was no way they'd drop any items. Instead, it costs plenty of potions.

When Lin Fan opened his inventory, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The battle he just had had used up 8 gold worth of potions.

But after taking a look at his level, Lin Fan brightened up.

What the…” Right now, Lin Fan was level 22. He had shot up from the bottom of level 20 to level 22.

Upon opening the level rankings, Lin Fan let out a smile. Second place was Limitless at level 16. That was 6 whole levels behind Lin Fan. The distance between them had grown even larger.
