Chapter 10: The Mist Serpent King
Page 1/3
Equipped and focused, Su Mubai summoned his brand-new attribute panel.
[Attribute Panel]
[Player: White Night]
[Level: 5 (1.28%)]
[Class: Death Sovereign]
[Agility: 51]
[Spirit: 108]
[Health: 1/1]
[Mana: 6480/6480]
[Spell Power: 409]
(Note: Less important attributes are omitted.)
[Exclusive Talent: Cataclysm (Unique Forbidden Tier)]
[Class Skills: Summon Skeleton (E), Incinerate (E), Summoning Space Expansion (D), Life Sharing (S), Death Summons (SS)]
[Summoning Space: 20/100]
[Equipment: Wooden Wand, Emerald Robe, Emerald Belt, Emerald Pants, Double-layer Cloth Shoes]
[Class Exclusive: Death Codex]
[Lifespan: One Year]
The five pieces of equipment together boosted his Spirit by 13 points, which was barely noticeable for Su Mubai.
What surprised him the most was that the greatest boost didn’t come from the Death Codex but from a low-level skill of the necromancer.
Summoning Space Expansion, originally an E-rank skill book, was upgraded to D-rank thanks to Su Mubai’s Cataclysm talent.
Summoning Space Expansion: (D) Passive skill, no level, Summoning Space +2.
For an ordinary necromancer, this meant just two extra small skeletons.
But for Su Mubai, this skill’s effect was practically SS-rank!
With the Cataclysm class trait doubling the effect, Summoning Space increased by +4.
Adding the enhancement from Death Summons, Su Mubai’s summoning space cap soared to a terrifying 100!
"Hiss~ I'm really going down the path of becoming overpowered!"
Staring at his terrifying attribute panel, Su Mubai couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Who would have thought a low-level skill could bring such a massive boost?
“Maybe it can get even more absurd?”
Squinting slightly at the Summoning Space Expansion skill, Su Mubai had an idea he had to test!
Is studying a skill book still the same thing after upgrading it?
With that thought, Su Mubai concentrated.
Cataclysm!
Target: Summoning Space Expansion!
Prompt: Please choose the promotion tier: Tier One / Tier Two / Tier Three.
Su Mubai took a deep breath and silently said, "Tier One!"
But the system’s prompt that followed doused him with cold water.
Prompt: Are you sure you want to confirm without consuming resources and overwrite the previous promotion effect?
[Confirm]
[Cancel]
“Cancel.”

A flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.
It seemed the Multiverse Game had completely sealed off any bug exploits.
Not being able to exploit bugs was somewhat frustrating.
Pouting, Su Mubai then checked the changes in the Death Codex.
Death Codex
Class Exclusive (White Night)
Special Item
Cannot be dropped, damaged, or traded; can be summoned or stored at will by thought
Level: 5 (follows character level)
Base Attributes:
+75 Spell Power
+25 All Attributes
100% increased damage to undead creatures (your summons also benefit from this effect)
Special Effect: Unlocks at level 10
(This is a rule book only you can read. Upon meeting requirements, you can learn exclusive Death Sovereign skills from it.)
At level five, the Death Codex already showed its sharp edge.
Simply +25 to all attributes at this stage was enough to drive any player mad.
The doubled damage against undead was not very useful for now.
The newbie village 9527 had no maps or dungeons containing undead creatures.
The rune on the back of his left hand flickered as the Death Codex materialized instantly.
Su Mubai tried to open it but still couldn’t.
“Only at level ten can I open it?”
Frowning, Su Mubai withdrew the Death Codex, then swung his wand to cast Summon Skeleton.
A pale gray vortex appeared, two skeletons emerged, swiftly joining the bone army.
Skeleton
Strength: 583
Constitution: 583
Agility: 583
Spirit: 583
Health: 5830/5830
Attack: 583
Physical Defense: 292
Skill: Heavy Strike
Heavy Strike: (E) Level 5, swings weapon to strike target, dealing 175% physical damage, cooldown 30 seconds.
(An exceptionally strong individual, far exceeding the limits of a normal skeleton.)
Su Mubai looked at the group of abnormally powerful skeletons by his side.
Then glanced ahead at the boss and its two minions not far off.
His expression turned somewhat peculiar.
They were three massive tree snakes, especially the middle one, coiled nearby like a small hill.
Mist Tree Snake King
Level 8
Silver-tier Boss
Health: 88,000/88,000
Attack: 327
Physical Defense: 136
Magic Defense: 98
Skills: Strangle, Devour, Poison Spray, Earthquake
(Are you sure you’re ready to face this beast? It never leaves bones behind after eating its prey.)
Mist Tree Snake Guard
Level 8
Enhanced Elite
Health: 8,350/8,350
Attack: 198
Physical Defense: 72
Magic Defense: 60
Skill: Strangle
(The elite among Mist Tree Snakes, responsible for security—essentially the bodyguards.)
In the Multiverse Game, mobs are divided into Normal, Enhanced, Elite, and Enhanced Elite ranks.
Enhanced Elite mobs have health and skills on par with low-tier bosses.
Boss tiers correspond to equipment ranks, from Black Iron to Mythic, totaling eight tiers.
Besides higher health and more skills, all bosses can regenerate health during battle.
Not much—just 1% every five seconds.
But that small regeneration means if players' damage output isn’t high enough, killing a boss is impossible.
To kill the Mist Tree Snake King, the team’s DPS must exceed 176.
For a five-person team, that’s extremely challenging.
Without members possessing powerful talents, defeating the Mist Tree Snake King is nearly impossible.
And it was only the first boss of the Mist Forest.
The Hell-level difficulty was evident.
Yet for Su Mubai, it posed no difficulty at all.
Apart from health and skills, his summoned skeleton army completely crushed the boss before him.
“Forget it, let’s just go.”
With a thought, Su Mubai stopped waiting and commanded the skeleton legion to surround the boss.
Swinging his wand, he summoned two more skeletons.
“Hiss~”
The Mist Tree Snake Guards reacted immediately, flicking out their long forked tongues and launching a fierce assault on the skeleton legion.
What greeted them were relentless heavy strikes from the skeleton army!
The two guards were large enough to soak up all the attacks solidly.
-892, -901, -1788!...
A flurry of damage numbers appeared, including a few critical hits.
How could their little health withstand such punishment?
By the time the Mist Tree Snake King raised its head, the two guards’ corpses were already stiffened.
