The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 725 Dream World 63
The Spiky Stone Monster was incredibly fast, its massive body rolling wildly through the mine, creating a deafening roar.

Each turn it plowed a half-meter-deep trench in the ground, and flying gravel shot out like bullets, leaving dense dents on the rock face.

Moran secretly rejoiced—luckily, the dungeon rules stipulated that collisions between ore monsters did not constitute initiating a challenge, otherwise the flying shards alone would have been enough to awaken the entire mine's ore.

She had prepared in advance and cast a feather-fall spell on herself, instantly making her body as light as a feather.

Immediately afterwards, a precisely controlled whirlwind lifted her up, making her float near the cave ceiling like a feather.

The location was chosen very cleverly, avoiding both the falling crystal clusters and being far from the ground.

The Spiky Stone Monster rolled wildly below, constantly emitting angry roars.

It tried to create vibrations by accelerating and crashing into the rock wall, but Moran's wind magic allowed her to float gently with the air currents, always maintaining a safe distance.

The Spiky Stone Monster tried to jump several times, but its heavy body could only lift half a meter off the ground at most, posing no threat whatsoever.

Moran had already learned about the Spiky Stone Monster and knew it had other skills it hadn't used yet. He quietly kept a safe distance from it and prepared to defend himself.

The spiky ore monster rolled around in vain a dozen times, completely destroying the mine floor.

The iron ore that had fallen earlier had long been crushed into thin discs and deeply embedded in the cracks in the ground.

Finally, realizing it couldn't reach its target, the Spiky Stone Monster suddenly stopped.

Its curled-up body trembled slightly, and all its barbs simultaneously gleamed with a dangerous light.

The next second—

"Bang bang bang!"

Hundreds of sharp ore spikes shot into the air like a torrential rain.

Moran quickly activated her Golden Shield spell, sensing the power of the ore spikes. Once she was certain the spikes couldn't penetrate the multiple layers of protection she had applied beforehand, she confidently deactivated the Golden Shield and began practicing on the battlefield as a moving target, unleashing a barrage of spells downwards:
The fireball exploded on the Spiky Ore Monster's back, the ice arrow pierced its body, and the electric net tightly enveloped it...

Each time it is hit, the Spiky Stone Monster explodes into a large pile of ore fragments, its size shrinks, and its speed decreases.

After more than a dozen precise strikes, the Spiky Stone Monster finally couldn't hold on any longer.

It let out a final, mournful cry, and its massive body disintegrated with a deafening roar.

The fragments of ore scattered all over the ground turned into specks of light and disappeared, leaving behind only a large pile of square, high-purity ore.

They were just common ores that Moran had already collected, and simply put them into his {space card}.

“Warm-up complete.” She looked at the even rarer mineral veins on the rock wall, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit. “Now comes the main event.”

She recalled the "Difficulty Rating Table of the Stone Monsters in the Gold Mine" compiled by adventurers on the forum: "Start with the easiest ones to get used to..."

She murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping towards the southwest corner of the mine. There lay dozens of pieces of dream copper ore, gleaming with a rose-gold luster.

Moran flicked her finger, and a stone bullet accurately hit the outermost piece of the Dream Copper Mine.

With a crisp clang, the struck ore suddenly softened and deformed, flowing onto the ground like melted wax.

The rose-gold liquid rapidly swelled and condensed into a humanoid monster. This Dream Copper Ore Monster had long limbs and a smooth, mirror-like surface that clearly reflected Moran's image.

Its head has no facial features, only constantly changing ripples, as if simulating various expressions.

The most peculiar thing is that it leaves a faint golden afterimage in the air when it moves.

"Just as described on the forum..." Moran quickly retreated to create distance.

Data shows that the Dream Copper Ore Monster excels at mental interference, but its physical defense is relatively weak.

With Moran's immense mental power, she was confident that she wouldn't be affected by the Dream Copper Ore Monster even without using any mental defense magic, not to mention that she had already carefully protected her mental sea!

She stood still, letting the Dream Copper Ore Monster use its mental interference. As a result, she was not harmed, but the Dream Copper Ore Monster was instead backfired by the mental protective net formed by her massive mental power.

Unfortunately, the highest level of mage magic she has mastered is the peak level. Without a higher level of spell structure, she is unable to cast more powerful mental magic. Otherwise, it would be best to practice mental magic on the Dream Copper Ore Monster.

Now we can only use other magic.

Thinking that its defense was not high, Moran tried the vine spell. The vines tightened suddenly, and with a "crack" sound, the Dream Copper Ore Monster completely lost its life.

Without even glancing at the fallen Dream Copper Ore, she turned directly to the remaining Dream Copper Ore and activated them all.

Even the combined Dream Copper Ore Monster couldn't cause Moran any trouble.

And so, Moran began to systematically challenge various ores.

The lava giant lizard formed from fire-patterned ore was frozen into a sculpture by her ice magic; the lightning cheetah formed from lightning crystals was trapped and killed by her earth magic... The pace of the battle was astonishingly fast.

A single mineral monster often cannot withstand more than a few spells before being defeated.

The situation only changed when she kept increasing her investment, triggering the entire Dream Gold Mine.

The golden ore flowed and converged like liquid, eventually transforming into a giant golden serpent thirty meters long.

The Golden Serpent possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities. Unless it is completely destroyed in a short period of time, its short limbs will quickly reassemble, restoring its fighting power.

Although Moran's dragon language magic at the adult dragon level was powerful enough to directly shatter the Dream Gold Serpent, she did not use it, since she was currently mainly training in witch magic.

While common level 1 and peak witch magic can inflict some damage on the Dream Gold Serpent, it is never enough to kill it.

Conversely, the Golden Serpent also has difficulty harming Moran, who is constantly using various protective spells.

The battle thus became a stalemate.

Moran was not worried but happy: "Finally, I can have a 'long-lasting' sparring partner!"

She kept casting various witch spells at the Dream Gold Serpent, trying different fighting styles and spell combinations.

Unfortunately, the Dream Gold Serpent's energy reserves were far less than Moran's. Two hours later, the Dream Gold Serpent collapsed due to exhaustion, turning into a pile of Dream Gold ore.

The Dream Gold Serpent was such a perfect training partner that Moran fought several other types of mineral monsters, but none of them were as effective. He even left the dungeon and waited for it to refresh before challenging the Dream Gold Serpent again.

After slaying the Dream Gold Serpent more than ten times, mastering all the witch's magic, and completing all the magic experiments, Moran finally raised his magic level significantly before venturing into even rarer ores.
