You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel?

Upon seeing this, the three people beside him immediately rushed to Sgor's side, using their weapons to block the giant axe and joining Sgor in blocking the bear demon's attacks. The other person kept harassing the bear demon with his spear to ensure that the bear demon wouldn't devour Sgor and the others beneath it in one bite.

Sgor's body was trembling; he felt like he was about to be crushed. In this state, all the bones in his body were creaking, and he couldn't even cry for help.

"Boom—!"

Suddenly, an explosion and intense heat came from above Sgor's head, making him feel much lighter.

Lotte's fireball was activated, blasting the Grim Reaper away from Sgor.

The fireball struck the bear spirit precisely on the head, causing it to retreat repeatedly, trying to rub the flames off its face with its claws.

Sgel and the others regrouped, delaying the bear spirit's attack and blocking its retreat.

Three more fireballs were fired.

The bear spirit has been burned beyond recognition and turned into a black bear. It only needs a few more fireballs to bring it down.

The persistent burning pain drove the bear spirit to the brink of madness. It stared intently at Lot, roaring as it charged at Lot with all its might, its body engulfed in flames!

The enormous bear spirit, enveloped in flames, coupled with its roar, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Sgar raised his giant axe to block him, but the bear spirit stretched out its claws and slammed them at him. The intense heat of the flames made Sgar instinctively turn his head to dodge, but he lost his balance and was knocked to the ground.

A thought crossed everyone's mind:

Oops!

The remaining four hurriedly blocked the way in front, forming a single line.

The bear spirit had abandoned all defense; the pain had driven it into a frenzy, and blood was even seeping from its eyes. It smashed through the first person and then used its head to shove the second person into the air.

The last adventurer was swatted away by the giant bear, leaving only Bald, Hagen, and Lotte, who was still casting a spell, in its way.

The bear spirit stared intently at Lot, at the mage who had caused it pain. It bared its fangs, burning with its last breath, and leaped towards Lot, charging forward!

Sgor struggled to his feet and stared wide-eyed at what he saw.

Ruined.

Bard can't stop the bear spirit. With Lotte dead, no one can harm the giant bear; everyone present will die!

Bard knew this too, but when faced with the bear spirit rushing towards him, he still chose to stand in front of Lotte.

He roared and swung his warhammer, preparing to smash the bear spirit in mid-air, but was kicked down from behind!

In the critical moment, Lotte kicked Bald to the ground, continued chanting with his staff in his left hand, and drew his sword from his waist with his right hand, activating [Oath of Protection], and personally faced the beast in the sky!

A flash of white light, and Lotte concentrated all his strength in his right hand. [Oath Keeper Lv.2] greatly increased his defense and attack power, and he unleashed his most powerful attack on the bear spirit.

To everyone's astonishment, the mage Lott swung his sword to meet the attack, actually managing to stop the oncoming bear spirit in mid-air!

The bear spirit, in pain, swung its claws and slapped Lott away. Lott flew backward and crashed to the ground.

Bard watched helplessly as Lot was sent flying. He picked up his warhammer, ready to avenge Lot. But amidst the rising dust, a fierce fireball hurtled straight towards the bear spirit!

The golden talent [I'm still alive] was activated, saving Lotte's life.

In the bear spirit's eyes, the fireball grew larger and larger until the flames covered the entire field of vision.

It doesn't understand.

It didn't understand why the mage could block its charge, nor why the mage hadn't died.

But all of this is meaningless now.

The pain completely disappeared at that moment, and all desire vanished as well.

What awaits it is eternal death.

"Boom."

The bear spirit swayed and collapsed to the ground.

The flames had burned off its fur and cooked its flesh, filling the entire forest with a strange aroma.

Sgel stared in disbelief at the fallen bear spirit, and it took him several seconds to accept the fact of victory.

"It's...it's a success..."

The other four also collapsed on the ground at this moment, too exhausted to celebrate their victory.

In the distance, Lotte took out a potion of life and began to heal his wounds.

He sat on the ground, panting heavily, still somewhat shaken.

We agreed to develop conservatively, but things still went wrong.

At that moment, Lotte's panel suddenly popped up.

Name: Lott

Race: Human [Unlimited Adaptability]

Level: Lv.6 → Lv.8

Occupation: [Mage]

Class Level: [Awakening Level]

Skills: [Oath Keeper Lv.2], [Breathing Meditation Lv.3], [Basic Fireball Lv.1 → Lv.2]

Attribute points to be assigned: 6

Although it was somewhat risky, the rewards were considerable; I leveled up twice and gained 4 attribute points. My Basic Fireball spell also leveled up to Lv.2, earning me another 2 attribute points!

But that wasn't what made Lotte the happiest.

The Misty Bear Spirit possessed a talent that resisted swords, and this talent was stolen and added to Lot's character panel after Lot killed it.

Blue Talent: [Misty Hair]

[Mist Threads: The body is connected internally by magical mist threads. When injured by swords or other weapons, it automatically consumes mental energy to heal the wounds and prevent further deterioration.]

Chapter 19 Praise to Lott

The Misty Bear Spirit withstood the siege of eighteen adventurers thanks to its innate talent for "mist threads" and its superhuman physique.

After Lott acquired this talent, when he had wounds from swords or other weapons, this talent could help him quickly stop the bleeding and suture the wounds, preventing the accumulation of too many wounds from causing a significant decrease in his combat ability.

However, this talent can only heal physical injuries and consumes a lot of mental energy, so it is only a blue talent.

For humans, mental energy is very precious; once depleted, they become unable to move. Using it to stop bleeding and suture wounds in battle is somewhat of a luxury; recovery potions can achieve the same effect.

But Lotte's mental strength recovered very quickly, and he could use this talent almost without limit.

In him, the effect of this blue talent can even be elevated to the level of a purple talent.

"Lotte, are you alright?"

Bard rushed to Lotte's side and pulled him up, saying, "You're so mean, you actually kicked me down."

Even so, Bard knew that Lotte had just saved his life.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lott patted his clothes. "This trip was really spicier than usual."

"Master Lotte!" Hagen also came closer to Lotte. "How did you manage that last sword strike?! I thought we were all doomed, but who would have thought you were even tougher than Bald!"

"I'm just a sports enthusiast."

“You’re being modest again.” Hagen whispered in Lotte’s ear, “Even Sgor couldn’t withstand the final blow, you’re stronger than Sgor. You’re both a mage and a warrior, if you ever become successful, Lotte, don’t forget me. I have a daughter named Liz, she’s 14 years old, much younger than Miss Chloris.”

“Hey, Hagen.” Bard put his arm around Hagen’s neck. “You can promote your daughter, but don’t bring Chloris into it. Chloris will never get married.”

Watching Bard and Hagen bickering, Lott couldn't help but grin.

In the instant the bear spirit pounced, Lotte actually had another choice: to let Bald risk his life to block it, while he immediately fled the scene and went back to announce the defeat.

But at that moment, Lott still didn't choose to do that.

One cannot, or at least should not, live a life of complacency.

After resting, Sgor and the others cut off the head of the Misty Bear Spirit and carried it back to Maple Town.

The guards of Maple Town saw them from afar and immediately opened the city gates.

Miss Ya'er rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

She originally only wanted Lott to rescue Sgor and the others to restore the reputation of the Adventurers' Guild, but she didn't expect Lott to exceed expectations and directly defeat the monster.

Sgor and his companions suddenly got lost. What should have been a 10-minute walk to the Adventurers' Guild took them two hours, and they practically walked around the entire town.

The thick fog that had been bothering the residents for days dissipated, and people in the town came out to see what the monster looked like.

In an instant, almost the entire population of Maple Town gathered by the roadside, cheering and shouting along with Sgel and the others.

After finally returning from the streets, the adventurers of Maple Town gathered together for the most lively celebration in recent years.

Barrels of honey mint liqueur were carried to the adventurers, and the table was covered with snacks to accompany the drinks.

Hagen and a few adventurers he was close to played drinking games. Their faces were flushed, and they were making so much noise that they almost lifted the roof off the shop.

Miss Ya'er arrived too. She had shed the burdens of the past few days and drank glass after glass of wine, teasing Sgar beside her, "You can't handle it either! Another glass!"

"I can't take it anymore, ugh~"

"Mr. Skelter!" Chloris quickly poked her head out from the back kitchen. "You have to clean up the spit yourself, okay? There are buckets over there, spit there!"

Sgor immediately covered his mouth, but Yar had no intention of letting him off the hook; she had to make him vomit tonight.

Chloris, carrying a plate of boneless steak, squeezed her way to a group of adventurers and found Lott sitting in the middle of them.

“Mr. Lotte, Uncle Bard specially made this steak for you.” Chloris placed the steak in front of Lotte. “Thank you for saving Uncle Bard’s life.”

“It was me who was taken care of by Baldr the whole way.”

The adventurer standing nearby exclaimed, "How can they be so biased!"

Bald walked out of the kitchen, wiping his hands. "You wouldn't even team up with me! With Lott, I rediscovered that feeling from when I was young... relying on each other, willing to give our lives for one another—that's the romance of men!"

Chloris's smile froze slightly. She tugged at Baldr's sleeve. "Uncle Baldr, so you actually prefer to team up with Mr. Lott?"

"No, no!"

"If I had to choose between Mr. Lott and me, which one would you choose?"

“Lotte might need me more, so…”

Ruined!

Uncle Bard has been completely kidnapped by Lotte!

He was supposed to be testing Lotte for me, but he ended up teaming up with Lotte instead!

Chloris covered her face with the board, turned her head away, puffed out her pink cheeks, and pouted her lips.

Lotte, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and was surprised to find that Chloris had this side to her.

"Quiet down, everyone!" Sgel stood up, picked up his glass, and looked around at the adventurers in the room. "We set off with eighteen people in total, and that beast killed us all, leaving only five. If it weren't for Lott, we would all be gone too."

He continued, "It doesn't matter if we die, but that beast still wants to live in this world! Thanks to Master Lotte's magic, not only did he help us survive, but he also allowed us to defeat the monster and successfully take revenge!"

Sgel stood on the stool, raised his glass high, looked at Lotte, and shouted:

"Bravo, Lott!"

The crew of the ship, filled with the smell of blood, raised their glasses and shouted in unison:

"Amazing Lott!!"

Lotte's name echoed through the entire Maple Town town for a time, resounding throughout the night.

That night, Lotte drank a lot of alcohol, and for the first time, he completely let his guard down and slept on the table.

Bald helped him inside to rest, while Sgel and his friends' gathering continued until morning.

With the defeat of the Misty Bear Spirit, the town returned to peace.

Ya'er gradually became busier, as she had to collect information on the major events that had occurred and report them to the Adventurers' Chapter.

Soon, information about the mage Lott appeared on the Adventurers' Guild's desk.

The Adventurers' Guild and the Mage's Association have a close relationship, and the branch president passed on Lotte's information to the Mage's Association branch.

The Mage Association branch is lavishly decorated. On the office walls hang a painting of the Sky City drawn by the elf Iselin during her travels, and on the other side, display shelves are filled with rare crystal sculptures and master-level alchemical artworks.

It's more like a small, exquisite museum.
