“All right, enough playing around. Let’s end this battle already.”

Takara said in a loud, clear, and confident tone.

The beast she’s facing is the Nemean Lion, the tenth Mini-boss in the Novice stage.

What it lacks in magical prowess, it makes up for in its extremely sturdy fur, immense strength, and fast speed.

It let out a loud and deafening roar.

It bared its fangs at Takara, then ran at a very fast speed before pouncing with its mouth open, with the intent to kill.

Takara immediately chanted a poison spell, aimed for the lion’s open mouth, then she activated the accuracy boost and speed boost she bought from the system with her unlimited gems.

 Then she activated the special poison shadow clone skill she also bought from the system.

She managed to switch places with one of the special poison shadow clones before the Nemean lion bit nothing but poisonous air in the space where she used to stand.

After the lion bit one of the shadow clones, it dissipated into thin air, leaving behind poisonous smoke that made the lion retch and struggle to stay up on its four legs, before the poison eventually overpowered the Nemean Lion, and made it lie down on the ground.

The lion let out a pained and enraged roar, but it will be the last roar that came out of its mouth, as its body started twitching and shaking uncontrollably while foaming at the mouth.

“You roar too much for a lion who’s about to die. Time to put you out of your misery.”

Takara said while approaching the lion, her hands crackling with magical power.

She then faced the lion, which is in its death throes, and started to chant.

 “Oh, Apollo, god of the sun, enchant my power so as to end this lion’s suffering.”

After she finished the incantation, her hands unleashed a red-hot fire that crackled and burned the lion to ashes.

Then her spell book, which floated in the air on its own accord, and was glowing bright red, closed itself and fell back down to the ground in front of Takara with a thud.

A golden fur cloak glimmered on the ground before her.

She picked it up and stashed it in her inventory.

She looked at the cloak’s description on the system.

“Nemean Lion Fur Cloak

“Durability: 45

Strength: 85

Speed: 86

Defense: 96”

She stashed the fur cloak into her inventory.

She might as well sell it later since it is more suitable for Assassin, Warrior, and Tank class players.

Then she checked the notifications that popped out in her system.

“You successfully finished the main quest. Clear all the sub-quests on this floor first before proceeding to the next.”

A scroll popped up right in front of her.

“You leveled up - Level 11

You leveled up - Level 12

You leveled up – Level 13

You leveled up – Level 14

You leveled up – level 15 “

“Your mastery of the active system skill shadow clone has gone up to fifteen percent. Poison variant clones unlocked. Poison variant level- level 15.”

“Your mastery of the passive system skill accuracy boost has risen by 15 percent. “

“Your mastery of the passive system skill speed boost has risen by 15 percent.”

“Your superior performance in the mini-boss battle landed you in the tenth rank in the top fifteen ranking for Novices.”

Then she clicked on the close button of the scroll and sat down on the grassy hillside to do some self-reflection.

She couldn’t believe it is that easy to defeat the Nemean Lion.

She spent a whole day practicing and getting used to doing the chants in the new spell book that Noctis bought for her.

She couldn’t at first believe the difference between the old spell book she now discarded, and the new spell book she currently carries around.

The old spell book was cumbersome to carry around and took a while for the spells to take effect.

The only spells available are spells for novices.

While the new one Noctis bought for her is lightweight, has super-advanced spells, floats in the air when she’s in battle, and automatically makes spells take effect right after the battle.

The spells are compilations of ancient incantations said to be written by one of the prominent Game Administrators.

She finished her preparation before battling the Nemean Lion by permanently buying the three skills from the system store, then trained until the system skills mastery reached fourteen percent.

She is surprised that just by using the new spell-book, and trying out the high-quality potions, etc. that Zero bought for her, her status points jumped up by quite a lot.

Her custom-made garments also helped raise her status points.

"Player Name: Takara Erich

Age: 18

Race: Human

Mana: 94.56

Strength: 89. 49

Agility: 79.99

Health:99.99

Knowledge:100 %

Class: Mage

Rank: Novice (Nobility)

Money: Error. Infinity"

He even insisted that she change into the custom-made garments he commissioned from an elite clothmaker at the VIP section.

 She remembered that Zero paid the elite clothmaker extra money earlier so he could go inside the dressing room with her, watch her undress even her undergarments, and see her naked body inside before she put on the body-hugging garments, he paid a lot for her.

She felt shy at first, then she picked up the confidence, and undressed right in front of Zero, with her pussy dripping wet at the fact that Zero is watching her undress even her undergarment, and dress up in the clothes he bought for her.

Then she looked at herself in the mirror after she finished dressing up.

She’s dressed in a body-hugging crop top, above-the-leg shorts, and traveling sandals that showed off most of her sexy yet chubby and fair-skinned body, with her shorts exposing her thick thighs.

“I don’t think I’m confident enough to wear this” she started to complain before Zero’s remarks cut her off mid-sentence.

“Whether you like it or not, get used to it. The items used to create these clothes aren’t easy to

find. This attire helps you replenish your MP from nature.”

“Wait what? I didn’t know it’s possible to replenish MP without an MP potion.”

Zero just looked at her, his eyes hinting at a warm smile.

Takara then snapped back to reality after recalling the events that just happened.

So, this is how elites with the Nobility Badge fight.

They prepare first before they engage in battle, and play around first with their opponent before going all out.

Then she stood up, brushed her shorts, and went off to finish the sub-quests on the 10th floor of the Novice Stage.

A majority of the seats are filled with spectators, The Battle Arena is where demons and their allies fought seriously to hone their skills. "Total Darkness Activate"Beleth chanted. The Battle Arena grounds went dark. Beleth sped towards the location of Alastair while atop his pale horse, with a spear in his hand. Alastair at first fumbled in the darkness before he chanted a spell that allowed him to see in the dark. Alastair teleported at the back of Beleth. He lifted Beleth's pale horse effortlessly off the ground and flung Beleth's pale horse right above Beleth, who managed to teleport safely to the

He sensed a gumiho named Gyeo-wool lurking around. "Gyeo-wool, I know you're there. Show yourself." A young-looking lady, who wore an attire that looked like it came from the early Joseon era, came into sight. A cold and chilly atmosphere filled the entire garden, and snow started to fall gently. "Lucky for me that these plants are magically enhanced and cold-proofed, or else they would have melted when you are around, my dear." Beleth said softly, gently caressing the gumiho's cute face, while caressing her bright red hair. "What do you care about more, your plants, or me? This is the only time I've managed to sneak my way into your castle again. You know Lilith's temper." Gyeo-wool whined. "You, of course, my dear. These plants are easy to replace." Beleth soothed Gyeo-wool. "Since when were you here, Gyeo-wo

I obtained the Nemean Lion's Fur Coat after defeating it. I don't find it suitable, so I might as well sell it at the auction." "Wait. Did you just say Nemean Lion's Fur Coat? Let's have it enhanced first at the Blacksmith's Shop, have the blacksmith place Legendary and God-class features on this cloak, and change this cloak from rare item to God-class." Noctis stopped Takara from approaching the counter, and started dragging her outside. " Why the need to go to such lengths? It's just a damn item that any normal player will kill to obtain. What do I gain here?? What are you plotting? I guess you're also aware that upgrading an item from rare to normal in a Blacksmith's shop is rarely successful. I'd say it has a 60% chance of failing." Takara asked with her eyebrows raised and her lips for

    On the 17th floor of the Intermediate Stage of RPG Fantasia, players quickly left the 15th floor, as they heard that forces of 3 Game Administrators will battle it out on the 15th floor anytime today, and they didn't want to get involved, or else get caught in the aftermath. The players knew that without the Nobility Badge, they stood no chance of intervening in the upcoming battle, and if they attempted to do so with their average stats, they'd get eliminated from the game right away, forever. In the dangerous world of RPG Fantasia, where alliances and balance of power might shift at any time by any means possible, it was like walking on a thin wire that might snap with one single mistake. You have to tread carefully and try not to anger Game Guardians, Game Administrators and elite players, for elite players with a Nobility Badge treat ordinary players as just mere cannon fodder at their disposal.

Now that the three of us are here, let's sort out the misunderstanding between the two of you, alright? This can't be allowed to go on, or else it will develop into a civil war, and the Majority Faction will take advantage of this." The young and sexy vampire cleared her throat, and began to speak.

You even took extra precautions to place a shield barrier around us that prevents the others in the VIP section from overhearing what we're talking about. Who are you? What do you want?

    Chapter 34: Out-bidding The Other Faction

    "The Last Item to be auctioned off today is the Nemean Lion's Fur Coat. The starting bid is 30 million gems." Yurika announced from the stage of the Auction House. "I bid 40 million gems for this fur coat." Noctis looked around to see an elite orc player bid for the fur coat. Let's see how this develops. The Orc Guild belongs to the Majority Faction, and his brother used to clash with, and often kill Orc players from the Majority Faction for trying to get into his way. The Orcs are strong, muscular and tanky, with great defense, attack power and strength, but they are slow due to their size, so the speed stats of the fur coat will be just a minor boost. Noctis thought to himself. "I bid 100 million gems"An elite goblin player from the Goblins Guild countered. The goblins also belong to the Majority faction. They are said to be extremely rich, hoarding a lot of gold and jewels in their headquarters. They specialize in sneak attacks and setting up ambushes, making the most use

Why did you bid for that mace, when you're not even a fighter class? The weapon isn't compatible with you. And why did you let your sister fend for herself, with zero support, when you could have at least backed her behind the scenes since you got a Nobility Badge? "Awkward silence filled the air for a few minutes before Iona managed to reply back through the message function of the game system. " I wanted to get back at Esumi for disrespecting my sister upfront. So I decided that I might as well spoil his plan for the 100th time again.

It's a wonder they can hike the value of so-so items that high. I'm not surprised. Dogs always fight for scraps, not the whole meal. Noctis thought to himself, totally unimpressed by the items being auctioned off. "It's a wonder that fights don't break out inside the Auction House. I can already sense that the tension is about to break the fragile peace inside from here." Noctis remarked while observing the whole scene. "Simple. If a player attempts a fight inside the Auction House, he'll be an open target to the other players inside the Auction House. If a player attempts to start a fight, they immediately get ejected out of the Auction House if they aren't attacked first. "Oshe replied to Noctis. " Now that all the auxiliary items have no

The girl's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the three items. "The mace, pendant, and coat are normally items dropped by minibosses after they die. To think someone managed to change the class from Rare to Legend class. This will definitely cause an uproar among the elite players. Are these the items that you want auctioned off?
