Chapter 7: All Dead! Stealing a Boss? One vs Seven! Killing a High-Grade Reclasser! Instant Kill!

Aiden’s face was cold, but his expression stayed calm.

"Robbers."

This kind of thing wasn’t just common in the real world. It also happened a lot in the games Aiden used to play. Only back then, it was in his past life.

After killing a boss, a group of well-equipped players with lots of potions would rush out and try to steal the boss’s reward.

Too bad.

These guys missed one thing. Aiden’s level was 10, but his damage was way beyond that.

He glanced at the short middle-aged man standing in front of him.

[Assassin, 14th Level, Bronze Rank]

He looked at the highest-level guy in the group. The guy had a square face, his eyes were half-closed, and he was tall, but his steps were a little shaky.

[Heavy Shield Knight, 19th Level, Silver Rank]

"19th level?"

"Silver Rank!"

Aiden got a rough idea of these guys. He frowned slightly in his mind.

This level was really high. Normally, a 10th-level Magic Apprentice wouldn’t even be able to beat the Heavy Shield Knight on the ground. Even a 14th-level Assassin would be enough to kill Aiden easily.

But now, Aiden had just gotten the Platinum Rank Blazing Tornado, and he was holding a Gold Rank staff.

More importantly, Reclassers were nothing like monsters.

A 13th-level Flame Viper could take on several 12th-level Reclassers easily.

That was a monster’s natural advantage.

"One, two, three, four..." Aiden counted the people roughly. Including the few middle-aged men hiding in the shadows, there were seven of them in total.

He curved his lips into a smile. Aiden took a deep breath and prepared to use the Blazing Tornado.

From the skill description, this ability had a wide area effect. It could hit multiple targets at once.

It was a kind of area attack.

It should, maybe, kill all these Reclassers in one hit.

"What are you laughing at?" The assassin, with a sly look like a rat and a monkey, suddenly froze. He looked at Aiden’s expression and felt something weird. He smirked and said mockingly, "What’s wrong? Don’t like it? Haha. You’re lucky you even got to First Class at level max. Just go back and change jobs in the city center. Otherwise, we won’t mind adding another death to our hands!"

"Huh? Wait, what’s this?"

The assassin’s eyes suddenly lit up. He took a sharp breath and even swallowed hard, staring at the staff Aiden was holding up. His body trembled a bit as he gasped in disbelief, "Gold Rank? A Gold Rank weapon!?"

Reclassers couldn’t see detailed stats of each other.

But if you learned the detection spell, you could scan their gear. Obviously, the group recognized Aiden’s Crimson Flame Staff.

The high stats and the fancy, elegant look made everyone show greed. Their eyes shone with a weird light!

Right away, the whole group surrounded Aiden!

"Fuck! I use Bronze Rank gear! You’re just a 10th-level Magic Apprentice, and you’re using a Gold Rank weapon? That’s such a waste!"

The assassin gritted his teeth, glaring at Aiden with a burning anger.

In the crowd, another mage swallowed hard and said in awe, "What the Fuck! If that was mine, I’d be so much stronger! That much Spirit points would boost my power by a whole level!"

"But how the hell do you have this gear?"

The mage narrowed his eyes. His expression changed in an instant, and a hint of fear showed in his face. "Which guild in The White City are you from? What’s your family’s deal?"

So low a level, such a weak class, and yet such amazing gear. It was hard not to wonder about Aiden’s background.

So, for a moment, the group of Reclassers felt a little more cautious.

And there was still a dead poison snake lying on the ground. They were also scared of Aiden’s power.

If they attacked, they might end up getting killed by him instead.

"You guys talk too much!"

The square-faced middle-aged man, who looked like the leader, smirked. He took a step forward, holding his Silver Rank shield behind him, and said with a cold laugh, "A kid who hasn’t even grown hair yet? Kill him and be done. Why so many questions? What’s wrong, you little dogs still scared even after all this blood on your hands?"

"Even if this guy is from Warrior God Guild, I don’t care. Kill him today. I’ll make a good profit selling this Gold Rank weapon on the black market!"

"Leave The White City tonight. Join the Dark Cult. Haha, what can they do to me?"

As the gang leader spoke, the bloodthirsty bandits all brightened up.

"Yeah! The boss is right!"

"Haha, that’s the way to go! I want to see if a Magic Apprentice can take on our boss’s shield!"

"Aha! Crimson Flame Staff! If that thing hit the black market, even with a discount, it’d be worth millions!"

As the group got closer and closer to Aiden, his expression grew even colder.

"Blazing Tornado!"

When the group finally crowded together, Aiden’s lips curled into a bigger smile. A mocking look appeared on his face.

He hadn’t attacked yet because he was waiting for them to get close.

Time to hit them all with the skill at point-blank range.

Total wipeout was his plan. He only had two attack skills. If he didn’t kill them all, he’d be in big trouble.

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying skill wave spread through the whole forest.

Even Aiden was shocked. He looked up in disbelief.

Above the forest, a huge tornado appeared out of nowhere. It was made of wind and fire elements Aiden had summoned!

Boom, boom, boom!

The tornado formed, covering not just the Reclassers, but almost an entire small forest. Aiden half-closed his eyes and estimated the range. The tornado was over 100 meters in diameter.

"This is a Platinum Rank skill?" Aiden swallowed hard, his heart tightening. He had slightly underestimated the power of Platinum Rank.

Skills were always more expensive than gear.

The Crimson Flame Staff alone could cost over a hundred million.

That was the standard for Gold Rank.

Platinum Rank skill books were even more expensive.

Otherwise, such high-tier spellbooks would be even rarer.

At least in The White City, there weren’t many strong people who had Platinum Rank skills.

"What the hell is this?!"

"This... this is a forbidden spell?!"

"Are you crazy?! It was this kid who made this! What level of skill is this? No way! A skill with such a huge area effect? How could this Magic Apprentice possibly cast it?!"

"Shit! Run! Run now!"

In an instant, the group’s faces froze, filled with unimaginable fear and horror!

They were so shocked that even their mouths were trembling, and they couldn’t move a muscle!

Their minds went completely blank.

And the next second, they all let out blood-curdling screams.

But it was too late.

The Platinum Rank skill had already locked onto these Reclassers.

Escaping was almost impossible.

It wasn’t that their speed was too slow or their Agility was too low.

It was because the tornado was over 100 meters in diameter.

Even if they ran as fast as they could, they couldn’t escape.

And besides that,

This wasn’t a natural tornado.

It was a magical explosion of Flame Element and Air Element damage.

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, the Reclassers in front of Aiden exploded one after another, turning into bloody fragments.

Watching the blood mist explode, Aiden’s heart tightened a little, and a faint, complex emotion stirred inside him.

This was his first time killing someone.

But he didn’t feel any guilt.

Powerful people always took advantage of the weak.

These guys had probably killed countless students from The White City in the wild.

They might even be on the city’s wanted list.

It was, in a way, justice.

Soon, the last explosion echoed, and all the Reclassers were dead.

His mind was flooded with experience points.

But Aiden furrowed his brow.

"Huh? One of them is still missing?!"
