Chapter 36 The Mage's Power
"A mage is a mage indeed. I guess those powerful mages also have a lot of battle pets, just like me."
Zhang Changsheng sighed inwardly, gaining a clearer understanding of the wizard's power.
"Furthermore, once wizards possess legendary strength, they will build mage towers. With mage towers, legendary wizards will become even stronger, no less than demigods."
"Apart from wizards, even dragons cannot rival demigods at the legendary stage."
"I wonder if I'll be able to build a mage tower once I reach the legendary level."
Zhang Changsheng felt increasingly excited about the future.
"What should we do next?"
Zhang Changsheng began to think.
"Most of the monsters around Black Dragon City were killed or wounded in this battle, so there probably won't be much loot left. If we want to kill new Tier 3 monsters, we'll have to go somewhere else."
"With my current strength, I might be able to deal with some weak fourth-tier monsters."
"Leaving aside my battle pets, under the effect of the Dragon Transformation Technique, my strength, constitution, and agility attributes can all break through to the fourth tier with 20 points."
"Let's go check other cities. Black Dragon City won't be back to normal for several months, especially with that monster distribution information."
Thinking of this, Zhang Changsheng summoned the white dragon.
At this moment, the white dragon had a single horn on its head and wings like those of an angel, making it look extremely sacred.
"Um?"
Just as Zhang Changsheng was about to leave on his white dragon, the Thunder Rain Eagle sent him some unexpected information.
A few kilometers away, wisps of mist drifted by as a group of people strode over, paying no heed to the mist. Leading them was none other than Ella Diaz, the leader of the Blood Eagle Gang.
Ella Diaz looked very grim. He felt like he had been tricked and had already received news of the destruction of Ironforge.
Clearly, the Ghoul King didn't care about the so-called sacrifices; he just wanted him to be away from Ironforge.
"Why did the Ghoul King send me away from Ironforge? Is he afraid I'll report him?"
Ella Diaz couldn't understand why the Ghoul King wanted to get rid of him from Ironforge.
Keep in mind that he was just a fourth-tier assassin, and one who had been enslaved.
"Could it be that someone already knows I'm a ghoul's subordinate? So I've become bait, bait to attract attention?"
Thinking of this, Ella Diaz broke out in a cold sweat.
"The leader of the Blood Eagle Gang?"
"What a small world!"
Looking at the images transmitted back by the Thunder Rain Eagle, Zhang Changsheng's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Blood Eagle Gang Leader Ella Diaz
Rank: Tier 4 Warrior
Strength: 15 (Equipment effect: 19)
Agility: 23 (Equipment bonus: 24)
Constitution: 15 (Equipment effect: 19)
Intelligence: 1
Perception: 1
Charisma: 1
Skills: Assassination Technique (Tier 1), Silent Step (Tier 1)...
"Only if your agility reaches level four can you fight."
"As long as I kill this guy, I can break through to the fourth level. Then I can go anywhere in the world."
After reading Ella Diaz's information, Zhang Changsheng felt a surge of murderous intent.
As for Ella Diaz's subordinates, Zhang Changsheng didn't take them seriously. They were just first or second-tier monsters, not even enough to fill the gaps in his battle pets' teeth.
……
"Why is the fog getting thicker?"
Ella Diaz noticed that the fog around her was getting thicker and thicker, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
boom!boom!
The earth cracked open, and countless wooden spears rose from the ground. This was the third-tier skill of the Grass Thorn Serpent King, "Sea of Wooden Spears," a powerful skill that could alter the terrain.
"Be careful!"
Ella Diaz roared and drew her dagger. Like a cat, she tiptoed and dodged one wooden gun after another.
If he were a fourth-tier shield guard with a fourth-tier physique, he might be able to ignore these wooden spears.
Unfortunately, he was just an assassin, very fragile, with a physique similar to a third-tier shield guard.
Faced with these wooden spears with third-tier power, they naturally dared not take them head-on.
Compared to him, his subordinates were not so lucky. They were just some level 1 or 2 assassins, and they fell instantly to the wooden spears.
"roar!"
With a roar, the red dragon Ignis appeared above Ella Diaz's head and unleashed a fiery breath.
"A dragon!"
Ella Diaz's pupils contracted, her eyes filled with shock, greed, and a hint of fear.
"Shadow Flash!"
Ella Diaz flashed out like a shadow, appearing 100 meters away and dodging Ignis's breath.
At the same time, Zhang Changsheng, who was flying in the air, drew his bow and fired an arrow.
"Rain of Light! Triple Shot!"
Zhang Changsheng used the only fourth-tier spell he controlled, the Rainstorm Spell.
Three arrows, as if formed by converging streams of water, shot out.
These three arrows are transparent because they are used to attack invisibility spells, and no one except Zhang Changsheng can see them.
The moment Zhang Changsheng shot the arrow, Ella Diaz felt a sharp pain in her brow.
"not good!"
"An unseen attack is aimed at me!"
Feeling the stinging pain between her eyebrows, Ella Diaz's pupils contracted rapidly.
He has a fourth-tier passive skill, Danger Sense, and the stinging pain between his eyebrows is the effect of this skill.
"Damn it!"
After a flash of pain in her eyes, Ella Diaz quickly flicked several spell scrolls from her spatial ring.
boom!
A gleaming golden shield appeared on Ella Diaz's body; it was the fifth-tier spell "Golden Holy Shield".
This spell scroll was his trump card; if it weren't for the threat of death from his sense of danger, he wouldn't have been willing to use it at all.
It's important to know that spell scrolls that can be used by other classes are more than 10 times more expensive than normal spell scrolls, with defense scrolls being the most expensive.
As the golden shield rose, a gust of wind arose, instantly dispersing the surrounding mist; this was the fourth-tier spell "Whirlwind."
Then, a golden light, centered on the spell scroll, entered Ella Diaz's eyes.
It is the fourth-order spell, Eye of Truth.
Under the effect of the Eye of Truth, Ella Diaz saw the incoming water arrow and Zhang Changsheng in the air.
The final spell scroll transformed into a gentle breeze and flew behind Ella Diaz, turning into a pair of whirlwind wings—the fifth-tier spell "Wings of Wind."
In order to survive, Ella Diaz used all the savings she had accumulated over the years.
"It's him! That first-tier wizard? How is that possible? Isn't he a first-tier wizard?"
The moment Ella Diaz saw Zhang Changsheng, her face was filled with shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe that the person she was chasing had appeared in front of her to kill her, and that he was so powerful.
"How is that possible? Even a legendary saint couldn't grow this fast, could they?"
"Who exactly is this person?"
Ella Diaz thought of the golden dragon on the divination crystal ball.
boom!
Three water arrows exploded, turning into countless raindrops that fell, each drop carrying an astonishing sharpness.
"!!!"
Looking at the torrential rain pouring down above her head, Ella Diaz's eyes were filled with horror.
"Damn it!"
"There's no way to avoid it, we can only tough it out."
Ella Diaz gritted her teeth, swung her dagger, and unleashed a shadow blade.
boom!
The swung shadow blade shattered instantly, like glass hitting a stone.
boom!
boom!
Then countless raindrops fell on Ella Diaz, and if it weren't for the Golden Shield, he would probably be dead by now.
"How is this possible? This is a fourth-tier spell. Could he be a fourth-level wizard?"
Ella Diaz's eyes were filled with horror.
"We can't fight anymore, we have to run fast."
With that thought, Ella Diaz flapped her whirlwind wings and flew away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
His strength and physique may not be that great, but he is very fast and has 24 points of agility.
"Trying to run away?"
Zhang Changsheng watched Ella Diaz fly away into the distance. With a thought, nine more red dragons appeared and surrounded Ella Diaz from all directions.
If Ella Diaz were a Tier 4 warrior, he wouldn't dare let his battle pet join the battle, because it could easily be killed. But unfortunately, this guy is just an assassin. His attack power is clearly insufficient.
"So many dragons? How is that possible? Are they all this person's battle pets?!"
Ella Diaz looked extremely grim as she watched the red dragons closing in from all directions.
"roar!"
There was the red dragon breathing, the red dragon chanting dragon language, and the casting of control spells to slow down its speed.
Once a dragon reaches the third tier, its strength begins to advance rapidly, most notably by mastering a large amount of dragon language magic.
As long as the dragons are willing to learn, they can master all the spells passed down through their bloodlines.
Therefore, dragons of the third rank and above are all combinations of wizards and warriors, and are extremely difficult to deal with.
Countless dragon magic spells flew wildly; if it weren't for the golden holy shield on her body, Ella Diaz would probably be dead by now.
"Earth Dragon Technique! Triple Strike!"
Seeing the dragons locked in battle, and Ella Diaz, Zhang Changsheng did not choose the wide-range Rainstorm spell, but instead chose the Earth Dragon spell, which has the ability to turn earth into soil.
He wanted to test whether his Earth Dragon spell could break through the turtle shell-like earth covering Ella Diaz, even if it only affected her a little.
boom!
Three earthen arrows struck the shield, failing to pierce it but weakening it somewhat.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Ella Diaz kept dodging and weaving, trying to shake off the dragon beside her, but unfortunately, her speed only got slower and slower.
"Aren't you dragons? Why would you, so proud, submit to a human?"
Ella Diaz couldn't help but speak up, hoping that the dragons would keep attacking him.
In response, Ignis and the other red dragons merely rolled their eyes before launching an even fiercer attack.
"Wind Serpent Strike! Triple Combo!"
Zhang Changsheng kept drawing his bow and nocking arrows, and his output was far greater than that of the dragons.
After all, he already possessed 20 points of strength, equivalent to a fourth-tier warrior.
"ah!!!"
Ella Diaz kept charging left and right, but she was like a wild animal put into a cage, helpless.
A lineup of 10 red dragons is something he, a Tier 4 assassin, cannot overcome.
What's more, there's also Zhang Changsheng in the sky who keeps shooting arrows from above.
boom!
Ignis's massive claws struck the shield covering Ella Diaz's body, shattering the golden shield that had blocked countless attacks.
Like shattered glass, broken yet beautiful.
"it's over!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Ignis's face. She opened her enormous dragon mouth and spewed out terrifying flames, instantly burning Ella Diaz to ashes.
You have killed a Tier 4 assassin!
[The slaughter and plundering have begun!]
You have plundered the fourth-tier spell "Shadow Assassin" from the bloodline of a fourth-tier assassin.
[Under the effects of the spell! Your Strength → 20 points! Constitution → 20 points! Agility → 20 points!]
[Warning! Killing a Tier 4 Assassin again will not grant you any spells!]
"Finally reached level four!"
Zhang Changsheng smiled as he looked at the prompt in front of him.
[Notification! Your strength has reached 20 points. You have advanced to a 4th-tier wizard!]
[Your Intelligence → 20! Charisma → 20! Perception → 20!]
You have mastered the fourth-tier spells "Fire Breath Dragon Flame," "Great Storm," "Ice Crystal Fire Rain," and "Water and Fire Shield."
"property,"
With a thought, Zhang Changsheng opened his attributes to check them.

"20 points in all attributes, not bad, not bad. Even among fourth-tier beings, I am an existence defying the heavens."
After reviewing his attributes, Zhang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, look what I brought you!"
Ignis approached Zhang Changsheng with a fawning expression.
"Ignis, what did you bring?"
Zhang Changsheng looked at the red dragon in front of him with some amusement.
"Master, look."
Ignis opened her right claw, revealing a spatial ring—it was Ella Diaz's spatial ring.
"Well done!"
Zhang Changsheng praised, "What reward do you want, Ignis?"
"Master, I want a set of magical equipment."
"With magical equipment, I will be stronger and able to better assist my master in battle."
Ignis said with a smile,
"I'll give you two sets, you can switch between them."
Zhang Changsheng smiled slightly, then picked up Ella Diaz's spatial ring and began to examine it.
Soon, Zhang Changsheng finished looking through the contents of the spatial ring. Apart from some fourth-tier materials, the other items were of little use to him.
"I'm lucky. With these Tier 4 materials, I can craft a few sets of Tier 4 equipment."
Zhang Changsheng looked at the pile of fourth-tier materials in his spatial ring and was very happy.
"Ignis, you should go back first. I'll give it to you after I've finished crafting the magical equipment."
After Zhang Changsheng raised his hand to recall Ignis and her group of red dragons, he mounted a white dragon and rode towards Black Dragon City.
……
Zhang Changsheng arrived at the Adventurers' Guild, the place where equipment is crafted.
"Sir, would you like to forge Tier 4 equipment?"
The old wizard looked at Zhang Changsheng with some surprise; it was truly rare to see a fourth-tier wizard so young.
