Chapter 220: Mana Drain
Bay Town.
Ihe secret room of the Lord's mansion.
Matthew opened his eyes again, carefully calg the current situation.
"With the current number of adventurers in the Bay Territory, I collect 10,000 Destiny Points daily."
"Most of that es from the fishmen and various monsters and magical creatures in the Dark Forest."
"At present, the number of monsters remains plentiful, far from being exhausted."
"And as the territory expands, the untamed regions will provide endless monsters, tinually Destiny Points."
"However, to ehe sustainability of Destiny Points..."
"Wheerritrer, I implement sustainable practiohat provide a steady stream of Destiny Points."
"Destiny Points need sustainable development as well..."
After h for nearly 10 days and killing hundreds of Sky-Splitting Lizard,
Matthew’s curreiny Points reached 120,000.
sidering future battles, upgrading Mana Drain was a worthwhile iment.
Without hesitation, Matthew spent 30,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 Destiny Points.
He upgraded Mana Drain to Level 5!
Uedly, the Mana Drain ability, pletely enhanced by Destiny Points,
began to undergo ges upon reag Level 5.
However, pared to the signifit transformations wheiny Points modified his body and bloodlihe ge in Mana Drain was subtle.
Within about three mihe ability had pleted its transformation.
Advanced Skill - Mana Siphon LV5: When activated, killing a Professional enemy restores mana equal to the enemy's css level ×5 with a 100% ce!
Even though Matthew was somerepared, he was still pleasantly surprised by the transformation of Mana Drain into Mana Siphon.
The 100% maoration rate alone made this skill a game-ger otlefield.
The maoration effect based on css level ×5 would be crucial, whether clearing minions or dealing with powerful enemies.
Matthew couldn’t help but marvel at how domineeriiny Points were in strengthening and modifying abilities.
However, the price for this power was steep.
Drawing on the power of tless beings to enhance himself made Matthew more excited for the future.
Perhaps this life, he could break the boundary between mortal and god!
Havied his Destiny Points once again, Matthew immediately summoned his Illusionary e.
This time, he was actually hoping for more Sky-Splitting Lizard to show up.
There were many ways for his illusionary e to reach the fishman camp; Matthew chose the least spicuous one.
Using a return scroll, he teleported back to his spatial carriage.
The Arist Lord temporarily exited the stage!
The Mysterious Arist made his shinirance!
When Matthew returo the wall, a rge number of Sky-Splitting Lizard were already climbing up.
This time, the rekindled adventurers also joihe battle.
Of course, their first step was to visit the on shop at the ruins camp, purchase a 10-gold- crossbow, and buy 20 pierg bolts at 5 silver s each.
Then, they could accept the task of defending the ruins camp.
Every Rift Lizard killed earned a reward of 1 gold .
Killing two Sky-Splitting Lizard would cover their costs; everything else would be profit.
Additionally, if they retrieved the bodies, they could sell them for extra money.
However, accepting the missio all Rift Lizard corpses had to be sold to the ruins camp.
Mattheilling to offer adventurers some veniences, but he wasn’t running a charity.
Even with the adventurers' help, the massive number of Sky-Splitting Lizard kept p out like an unstoppable tide from the rift.
Seeing Matthew's figure approag slowly, many soldiers cheered iement.
"The Arist is here."
"No wohe Lord could rest easy..."
"With the Arist here, no amount of monsters will scare us."
"Is this the mysterious Arist?"
"Yes, this Arist once single-handedly repelled over a thousand trolls!"
"Truly impressive!"
"..."
While the soldiers were filled with excitement and fidehe adventurers felt a mixture of doubt and pressure.
"Another Arist? Bay Territory has two Arists?"
"Yes, but this one rarely fights, spending most of the time in Bay Town's b."
"The potions and magical gear we use are all crafted by this Arist."
"I even heard that the Lord studies uhis Arist."
"Defeating a thousand trolls alone? How is that possible?"
"Haven’t you heard? This Arist cast an infinite number of fireballs!"
"Unlimited fireballs? That’s too exaggerated!"
"I really hope it's true because that would get us through this nightmare."
"Now that you mention it, it does make sense."
"..."
Due to the terrain and onry advahe Sky-Splitting Lizard hadn’t caused any new casualties yet.
However, seeing the Sky-Splitting Lizard getting closer, many adventurers were increasingly relut to engage in close bat.
At that moment, seeing Bay Territory's other Arist arrive and hearing rumors of their greater strength than the young Lord, the adventurers began to rex.
As the Sky-Splitting Lizard climbed half the wall, Matthew, eager to test Mana Siphon, decisively acted.
Matthew raised his hand, the flowing mana eled through the spell model, transf in the air.
A blue ice crystal coalesced into a long spear emitting chilling cold.
The surrounding air, seized by the frost, crystallized into ice.
With a gentle flick of his fihe rotating ice spear shot downward!
Third-tier spell - Ice Lance!
Spt!
The sharp spear effortlessly pierced through the head of a Rift Lizard.
The momentum carried it through a sed, third...
Until it finally embedded into the fifth Rift Lizard, where it exploded intments of ice.
With orike, five Sky-Splitting Lizard were killed!
The mana spent instantly replenished, and Matthew calmly tinued casting, ung ice after ice!
Witnessing this, the adventurers couldn't help but cheer.
With the mysterious Arist’s help, the defense was now assured.
pared to the ordinary adventurers, the elite ones, recruited by nobles, uood the true terror of this Arist.
The team leaders of several high-tier adventurer squads exged gnces, feeling both fortunate and deeply wary.
They knew now that they must never bee enemies with him!
