the mage of eternity
Chapter 5
An Kai walked out from behind the boulder.
He released six fireballs in a row without panting or blushing.
All of this was thanks to his balanced attribute, which could support him to do things that other mages could not!
Among the white body fragments on the ground, there was a white crystal the size of a fingernail.
An Kai came here, picked up the crystal, and silently said, “Exchange!”
” Skill Points +1 ”
The system notification appeared, and An Kai smiled.
The white crystal was the core of the Thorn Worm. It could also be exchanged for Skill Points like the Sorcerer’s Stone.
However, not every Thorn Worm had a core. Only those Thorn Worms with the talent of a Mage would produce such a core.
An Kai used his skill points.
[Fireball proficiency +1.]
[Fireball Lvl 2-’13/20′]
“Not bad.”
Standing on the spot, An Kai heaved a sigh of relief.
He opened his interface.
[Level Lv1: 10/10]]
[Intelligence: 15 (Initial: 1)]
[Endurance: 14 (Initial: 1)]
[Stamina: 15 (Initial: 1)]
[Strength: 14 (Initial: 1)]
[Talent: Immortality, Mage Body ” Lv1 “]
[Spells: Meditation Lvl 2, 20/20, Fireball Lvl 2, 13/20]
[Identity: A nobody.]
For the past year, An Kai had spent all of his time training.
Half of the time was spent cultivating, and the other half was spent resting.
If he kept doing this, An Kai felt that he would go crazy.
Even so, his four attributes had broken through to 10 points.
It was also when his Intelligence broke through to 11 points for the first time that An Kai suddenly realized that his skills could continue to level up!
At that time, he had directly upgraded his Meditation to Level 2 in one go.
The time it took him to obtain attribute points had also shortened from seven days to five days.
The remaining skill points were added to Fireball.
Although his Fireball was only at Level 2, the reason why he could kill a Level 4 Thorn Worm was because of his physique.
The balanced development of his attributes allowed him to last longer than mages of the same attribute, and the power of his spells was not inferior.
An Kai did not know how many attributes points other mages had at each level, but he was quite satisfied with his current situation.
It wasn’t unacceptable for him to advance by one level a year.
After all, his lifespan was unlimited. It was different from the others who could live for a short 100 years or a long 200 years.
He had enough time to meditate.
This time, he was able to fight a creature of a higher level than him, which filled An Kai with hope for the future.
So what if he couldn’t level up?
One day, he would raise his attributes to an unimaginable level, and his skill level would be truly maxed out!
At that time, he would be fearless of any threat and enjoy his path to immortality in peace.
Standing in the remains of the thorny worm, An Kai was overwhelmed with emotions.
He couldn’t help but wish that he could fast-forward to ten thousand years in the future.
Unfortunately, this was not a game. He could only step forward step by step.
Following the shadows of the Gobi Desert, An Kai carefully returned to his cave.
At this moment, there was only one piece of dried meat left in the cave.
It was difficult to hunt in the Gobi Desert.
Not to mention hunting for edible meat.
However, An Kai did not panic. He prepared to move.
In the desert, he still had another secret hiding place. The resources there were enough for him to last for about two years.
The next day.
An Kai left the Gobi Desert and embarked on a journey. His other secret hiding spot was located in the south, and he needed to pass by the Unnamed Border Town.
It was a good opportunity to return to the Unnamed Town and see if there were any changes.
When he left, An Kai walked from night to day before arriving at the Gobi Desert.
During this period, he even took five breaks.
This time, An Kai only took about five hours to return to the Unnamed Town.
One breath, no rest!
Such endurance, even if a warrior profession saw it, they would doubt whether An Kai was of the same profession as them.
A year later, he returned to the Unnamed Town.
Things had already changed.
At the entrance of the town, there was a crooked tree that Hanks liked to lie on. On it hung three unlucky people who had already turned into bones.
At a glance, the town was silent, and there were no signs of living people.
Due to the lack of cleaning by the residents, the streets of the town were covered in dust and sand.
An Kai raised his spirits and walked to the entrance.
There were no footprints on the street.
This further confirmed his thoughts.
On both sides of the street, there were some scattered bones and rags.
Some were nailed to the walls of the houses, while others were sitting in the corners of the houses.
All of this told An Kai that a war had broken out in the Unnamed Town after he left!
It seemed like the Unnamed Town had fallen.
That was true. Since that night, countless people had left the town.
Even the old president, the number one expert of the Unnamed Town, had left the town.
These bodies had already turned into white bones. An Kai did not know who they were.
“Amitabha, Heavenly Lord of the Boundless, may the Lord bless you.”
He did not know what these people believed in. He just chanted all the Gods he knew.
“I wonder if there are any changes in the Mage Association.”
An Kai muttered to himself as he walked towards the Mage Association. He walked along the houses on both sides of the street, and when he encountered White Bones that blocked his way, he would even thoughtfully move them to the side.
The old president had said that the Mage Association would be temporarily closed, but some of the information inside would not be taken away.
It included some spell analysis information.
These things were what An Kai needed.
Of course, it would be even better if there were Sorcerer’s Stones left, but he knew that it was impossible.
He walked along the walls of the houses in the town for about ten minutes, and the Mage Association appeared in front of him.
The two front doors that used to be of great value had disappeared.
The entire Mage Association was open to the public. Looking in, one could see one or two scattered corpses.
Such a scene caused a chill to run down his spine.
“The place couldn’t have been ransacked, right?”
Unwilling to give up, he entered the Mage Association.
The smell of decay assaulted his senses. Compared to the fragrance from a year ago, it was like heaven and earth.
There was no need to look on the first floor. The doors were gone. What valuable items could there be left?
The welfare room that Widow Wang was in charge of was even more miserable. Not to mention the door, even the walls had been chiselled into ruins.
With a sigh, An Kai followed the stairs covered in dust and sand to the second floor.
The second floor was similar to the first floor.
Everywhere was a dilapidated scene.
The room where the Old President used to test apprentice mages received the same treatment as Widow Wang’s welfare room.
The walls were broken, and the ground was in ruins.
It was the same in other places. The smell of decay filled the air.
After taking a quick look, An Kai continued to walk up the stairs. Near the entrance of the third floor, there were three skeletons stacked together.
It was as if a battle had happened here.
An Kai didn’t even think about dealing with this kind of intruder. A fireball appeared in his hand, and he instantly threw it out, blasting the three skeletons into black and white bone powder on the ground.
Stepping on the bone powder, An Kai entered the third floor.
This was also the old president’s office and living room.
A year ago, he was not qualified to enter this place.
There was only one room on the third floor.
There was also a layer of magic fluctuations on the surface of everything. This should be a backup plan left behind by the old president.
Other than that, there were no other rooms in the hall, but there were two or three skeletons.
Seeing this, An Kai finally smiled.
He first retreated to the stairs, and then two fireballs the size of heads appeared in his hands!
Without thinking, it directly struck the thing left behind by the old president.
Boom! Boom!
” Thank you, Old President, for your gift!”
