9. Magic blade

(Jack's pov)

I saw a party of 60 players below level 5 raiding the boss and Alice the one that had saved me once in my last life leading them as a

level 1, i scanned her using mental eyes

----------

I quickly understood that she had used her ability and she is been used by others, but even with that they can't bypass the bosses defence and deal significant damage.

I watched that other player with Alice has healing ability and she is only healing her means she is with alice and not other group, due to her alice could barely defend but this was still a big feat a level 1 player defending against a level 13 special boss.

After a while then the bosses hp decreased by 10% in 10 minutes and boss summoned her minions and the balance of the fight broke and I also saw slowly the other players were disengaging from fight and going for the fruits, this was a foolish move because the boss has a connection with the tree and will immediately understand when the fruit is even touched and eventually a fruit was taken and the boss got enraged it's attack increased and it used it's summon skill the other party quickly retrieved but the minions followed them and only alice and the other girl was struggling with the boss, the time for my entry had come but before that I removed the last and most precious sword I had brought with me

I had allready known it's grade and power but having a bronze weapon this early was a cheat, i used my remaining free stat points 8 on agility, 4 on strength and 4 on magic and moved out using my sword skill with martial arts,

"Two sword one strike - Niaido"

And struck the neck of the boss and boss took a significant damage,

-126(crit)

I wasted no time and moved back to avoid bosses attack and gestured alice to fall back, after she went back and I was alone with the boss I can start my real plan for infinite skill up, I will kite the boss until she summons her minions and then fall back then kill the minions and level up and use soul manipulation to level up my skill.

I made this plan when I saw boss could summon upto 200 ant soldiers and the soldiers follow the intruder.

I did as i planned and after few minutes the first batch of minions was summoned, there were 80-90 ant soldiers, i thanked the boss and ran back and let the minions follow me as boss is the guardian it will not follow me, i scanned one of the minion.

Ant soldier (level 8)

Type: common

Hp:500

Mp:200

Skill:bite,chase.

"Even the ant soldier is lv.8 how much exp will it give?"

I had already had chosen a narrow passage so I have to fight one or two at most like this i defeated one

*Ding

You have killed one ant soldier lv.8

You get 176 exp, 5 tutorial coins and ant antlers ×2(common grade).

"176 exp is a little less than what I expected for a minion, the coins are stingy but the antlers make up for it" jack thought,

Like this i killed few more ants but the minions were pushing each other to furiously which caused the two ants to mount on other two I was fighting and it eventually became 4 vs 1 and i couldn't handle this for long and the damage started hurting more and hitting less and i decided to make a retreat, i activated silent steps and used wide slash to make a path and move I was fast so i easily avoided getting hit while retreat and started kiting the ants and after a few more kills I leveled up.

* Ding

You have killed soldier ant lv.9

Gained 220exp, 5 tutorial coins.

* Ding

you have level up to lv.6 you get all stats +1 and 4 free stat points to distribute.

I activated my trait and used it to level up the passive skill weapon master, my level went back to 5, all stats decreased by one and free stats to zero, but my skill leveled up.

Weapon master (A) (lv.2)

Type: passive

Effects:

Can Use all weapons and traps with mastery, and increase damage by 20%.

With this new 10% increase my attack went a notch up and I could kill a ant in just 7-8 hits and my speed was much higher than them so it was easy to avoid getting hit or ganged up by them and the food i brought from earth had a health and stamina recovery effect.

After 2 hours I had killed 1 batch of 86 minions and leveled up thrice more and max leveled the weapon master skill using my ability, leveling up increases my soul power and makes my soul stronger but skill level up gives me a different kind of power like it brings the soul power together and forms a bond which increases the efficiency of the power.

----------

Weapon master (A) (lv.5)

Type: passive

Effects:

-Increases your understanding of weapons you wield by 200%. (increases weapon stats by 20% and weapon skills do 20% more damage.)

-You can Use all weapons and traps with great mastery and increase damage dealt by 50%.

-----------

"This is a qualitative change in the skill, so max leveling higher grade skills have special effects " jack thought.
