Chapter 50 Solo Mission (Please continue reading)

[Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (Proficiency 76%, Arcane: Lesser Mental Shock), Shadow Grip (Proficiency 34%), Dark Elemental Shield (Proficiency 28%), Bone Armor (Proficiency 47%), Slow (Proficiency 58%), Manipulate Bones (Proficiency 16%)

Looking at the row of wizards in front of him, all of whom were at a high level of proficiency, if Richard before was a wizard apprentice who was more fragile but had high attack power, then Richard now had completely transformed into a type who was good at both offense and defense!

The only drawback is that his mental strength is still insufficient. Basically, after using the witchcraft three times, his mental strength is completely depleted. Of course, this is also a common problem for first-level wizard apprentices!

If we only consider the types and levels of mastery of witchcraft, without taking into account mental strength, Richard feels that he has already reached the level of a second-level wizard apprentice, because the standard for advancing to the second-level wizard apprentice is that mental strength exceeds ten standard units and two level zero witchcrafts reach the proficiency level.

He already possessed four level zero spells, and his mastery of them had reached a proficient level!

Richard let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself that, given his current state, he should be able to save his life from that second-level wizard apprentice named Seymour!

For a while, he politely declined invitations from both Senior Sister Meiluo and Ram to go on missions together to earn points!

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he was worried that if that second-level wizard apprentice Seymour came looking for him, he wouldn't be able to defend himself and might even endanger his friend's life.

But right now, Richard still really wants to go out into the wild and try out the few new spells he has learned. He has practiced them quite well in his dreams, but he still really wants to use them in actual combat!

The next morning, Richard arrived at the School Mission Area early and began looking for missions suitable for him to solo. His main purpose this time was not to earn points or energy points, but simply to practice his new sorcery in actual combat!

He quickly scanned the black wall in the center of the hall, searching for a suitable task.

"This is a good mission: [Clear the Sharp-Toothed Crocodiles]. The number of Sharp-Toothed Crocodiles near the school's base has recently increased, and they are attacking people coming and going from time to time. Please kill twenty Sharp-Toothed Crocodiles within a week. The mission reward is ten points and five magic stones," Richard thought to himself.

Since the fanged crocodile is merely a wild animal, and although it is a top predator among wild animals, it is still a wild animal among top predators. Therefore, this mission requires killing a considerable number of them, a full twenty, but the reward is relatively small.

Therefore, first-level wizard apprentices who prefer to team up don't really value this task. It's simple to complete with a group of people, but with more people, the already meager reward is even less for each person.

But this kind of task is just right for Richard right now!

Richard believed that even if he encountered some powerful monsters in the swamp, he would be able to escape without any problem, given that he had several trump cards up his sleeve!

Moreover, the location of this mission is near the school's headquarters, because wild beasts like the fanged crocodile are found throughout the muddy swamp, so the chance of encountering powerful monsters is extremely low.

So Richard went to the counter and accepted the task.

What he didn't notice was that a tall, thin man wearing a hood had been observing him for a long time in a corner of the mission area.

Perhaps because the mission area was bustling with people and noisy, Richard didn't notice it at all.

After Richard left, the man quickly stepped forward and went to the counter, seemingly asking about something. Soon after, a satisfied smile appeared on his gloomy face.

"You brat, your time has come!" The man was none other than Seymour, who had been searching for Richard for a long time!

Richard, having accepted the mission, did not set off rashly. Instead, he went to the trading area and, familiar with the place, went to the shops run by the twin sisters to buy a full-fledged knight's skeleton and a bottle of basic mental recovery potion.

The price of a knight's skeleton is only eight magic stones, but a basic spirit recovery potion costs a full ten magic stones, and its effect is very mediocre. After taking it, it can stimulate the body and can only restore about 30% of the spirit power immediately.

This made Richard, who wasn't particularly sensitive to magic stones, suddenly feel a pang of regret!

No wonder so many people choose basic pharmacy!

Richard was dressed in light leather armor, with a knight's longsword at his waist and a gray wooden short bow on his shoulder, looking every bit the wanderer. Last but not least, he carried a large pack on his back.

As Richard walked out of the school, many apprentices noticed his appearance and couldn't help but point and whisper mocking remarks.

Richard didn't care about other people's opinions or words. For him, practicality was the most important thing. Moreover, this was his first solo mission since he transmigrated, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

Besides the knight's skeleton, the package also contained ten bottles of Fire Dance Star and ten packs of Silver Moon Dust, among other items, making it a very full package.

As soon as he stepped out of the school's gate, Richard glanced at the map in his hand and strode towards the path to the north. To the north of the school's territory were several swamps inhabited by a large number of sharp-toothed crocodiles, and occasionally one could encounter solitary dark-fanged spiders, a type of low-level spider monster.

As Richard ventured deeper into the swamp, the path became increasingly difficult to see, tall shrubs became fewer and fewer, and short vines and wormwood plants became denser. Coupled with the perpetually gloomy sky over the muddy swamp, visibility was extremely low!

Richard, holding a short bow, carefully searched for sharp-toothed crocodiles along the edge of the swamp.

"call out"

Suddenly, a shimmering spiderweb shot out from the wormwood bushes and hurtled straight at Richard. The spiderweb in the air swelled with the wind, growing from the size of a palm to a large disc about a meter in diameter over a distance of just a few meters.

Richard immediately shot an arrow, sending the spider web flying.

A dark gray figure darted out of the bushes and rushed toward Richard. Its black body, the size of a washbasin, and four pairs of sharp, knife-like legs made it look like an adult Darkfang Spider.

Seeing that the spider web had no effect, the Darkfang Spider immediately rushed over, its two sharp fangs on its chelicerae clearly visible!

Now that the other party had appeared, Richard quickly began to silently recite the incantation for the Slow spell. At a proficient level, the Slow spell could be cast in just two seconds, and the effect of the slow spell was greatly increased to 40%-50%.

Adult Darkfang Spiders are skilled in melee combat and have an extremely fast running speed, but once Richard's Slow spell catches them, their speed immediately drops significantly!

Richard then began chanting the incantation for Shadow Grip, finishing the spell just as the adult Darkfang Spider rushed to within five meters of him.

A giant black hand, two meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air and grabbed at the Darkfang Spider. The Darkfang Spider's originally fierce eyes suddenly turned somewhat panicked.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

With a firm grip, the large hand held the Darkfang Spider firmly in its grasp. No matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail; even its sharp claws could not break through the large hand formed by dark elements.

Richard narrowed his eyes and instantly increased the intensity of his mental energy output. With a "crack," the chitinous shell of the Dark Fang Spider was crushed by the dark elemental hand, and a large amount of pale green juice flowed out from between the fingers of the hand. Before it could even scream, the Dark Fang Spider died.

Wow! These are truly some of the strongest level 0 shadow magic spells; their power is incredible!

Richard's lips curled slightly, revealing his delight.
