Chapter 55: Frenzied Killing Intent

Late at night, in a dark street corner.

Wearing a black robe and cloak, with a swirling ghost mask covering his face, his entire body wrapped tightly, Gunei moved like a specter, passing silently and unseen.

At this moment, Gunei's speed was very fast and light.

An ordinary first-rank caster absolutely could not possess such light and swift speed.

The reason Gunei could have such swift speed and nimble steps

was, on one hand, that Gunei had been idling with the Blood Pool Codex and the Devout Knight Breathing Method, which made his body as robust as a knight and as agile as an assassin.

Secondly, it was due to the pair of 'Mithril-grade' English noble short boots on his feet.

Gunei's relatively strong supernatural talent for nurturing was quite powerful.

After this period of continuous nurturing, the mithril-grade English noble short boots could already exhibit some of their supernatural characteristics.

Although they had not yet reached the level of walking on water or climbing cliffs as if on flat ground,

they could still make his steps light and silent, and his speed nimble and eerie.

He reached inside his black robe with one hand.

The mithril-grade staff 'Silver Feather' had already appeared in Gunei's hand.

Not only the boots but also the staff 'Silver Feather' had been nurtured.

Silver Feather, as a powerful mithril-grade staff,

firstly, possessed the strong characteristics of its own material.

Silver Feather itself could be regarded as one of the sources of source power channels.

Holding Silver Feather, a small, weak stream of source power would slowly flow into the body.

Although it could not compare to low-grade source power potions, or even to the weaker source power spring water,

this recovery required no cost and lasted indefinitely.

At the same time, holding Silver Feather could also increase one's own source power recovery speed by 120%.

The source power channel flow of Silver Feather itself, plus the boost to one's own recovery,

together, they were already close to ordinary 'source power spring water,' and this recovery speed was already quite astonishing.

In prolonged combat, holding Silver Feather, this recovery amount was very considerable.

At this moment, as Gunei sprinted, the source power consumed was far less than the recovery, so Gunei could be said to remain in a 'full mana' state.

Secondly.

Inside Silver Feather, there were also four 'Water Element Runes.'

These 'Water Element Runes' were of the same level as Gunei's 'Mystic Crossing Rune' and 'Repeat Rune' as spell runes.

Water Element Runes could deepen a water-element caster's affinity with the water element and increase the speed of element gathering.

Elementalists needed to borrow the power of elements from nature.

Their elemental spells were slow to cast but had great power and wide range.

In particular, the charged spells of advanced elementalists were quite terrifying.

The 'Elemental Forbidden Spells' formed by accumulating a large amount of elements were devastating weapons that could destroy heaven and earth.

In addition, Silver Feather also contained a full six 'Amplification Runes.'

The function of Amplification Runes was to amplify the power of spells.

One Amplification Rune could amplify spell power by 10%.

Ten Amplification Runes could directly double the effect of a spell.

And the six Amplification Runes within Silver Feather, if fully activated, could increase spell power by 60%.

Overall, the mithril-grade 'Silver Feather' was essentially a water elementalist's staff.

'Amplification Runes,' 'Element Runes,' and 'Acceleration Runes'

these three types of runes were the mainstream runes for elementalists.

Correspondingly, 'Mystic Crossing Runes,' 'Acceleration Runes,' and 'Repeat Runes' were the mainstream runes for spellcasters.

The mainstream runes for contractors were 'Sensing Runes,' 'Contract Runes,' and the bizarre 'Plane Runes' corresponding to different planes.

Of course, these were only mainstream, not absolute.

There were many spellcasters who condensed 'Amplification Runes.'

There were also many elementalists who condensed 'Mystic Crossing Runes.'

There were also some rather peculiar 'Rare Runes' that were relatively popular among talented casters of certain major powers.

Silver Feather did not quite suit Gunei as a blood curse master.

But after all, it was a powerful mithril-grade staff.

The Element Runes were of no use to Gunei.

However, the 'Source Power Recovery' was quite impressive.

Carrying the Silver Feather close to his body to nurture it with source power could double Gunei's recovery rate; after normal source power consumption, he need not worry at all, as it would quickly recover.

And the 'Amplification Rune' was also quite good for Gunei.

Now, Gunei had already activated one of the amplification runes within the Silver Feather.

Gunei's own spells were of high grade and inherently extremely powerful.

Coupled with Gunei's high source power density, this further enhanced the power of his spells.

Then, with the ten percent amplification from the Silver Feather,

even the ordinary 'Rocket Spell' was enough to make enemies experience what despair meant.

...

Seven or eight minutes later.

Gunei, having crossed several blocks, stopped in his tracks.

The night was pitch black.

The dim yellow streetlights could only illuminate an area of about seven or eight meters around.

Beyond that, it was already within the domain of the night.

Standing in a dark area by the roadside where the dim yellow streetlight did not reach,

Gunei looked at the independent villa before him, which had a slight Byzantine architectural style.

According to the information, this was a stronghold of the Blood Ear Elves.

This time, quite a few Blood Ear Elves had arrived in the Sugg Ruins City.

They dared not show themselves, their movements were extremely secretive, and they did not gather in large numbers in any single stronghold.

They too feared being wiped out in one fell swoop.

This scattered approach happened to give Gunei an opportunity for revenge.

Gunei currently did not have the strength to kill too many Blood Ear Elves.

Dealing with six to eight Blood Ear Elves of not too great strength here was just right.

Killing all the Blood Ear Elves here and making those hiding in the shadows feel the pain—that was Gunei's revenge plan.

With a gentle raise of his hand, the water-blue luster at the tip of the Silver Feather staff had already bloomed.

The next second.

Hum!

A low pulse of source power bloomed outward.

The massive black wheel, "Ring Art Bombardment," had already taken shape before Gunei.

Then, the Ring Art Bombardment smashed straight through the iron fence, gouging a deep trench across the lawn.

It charged toward the gate of the villa.

A little over a second later.

Boom!

The Ring Art Bombardment slammed into the gate and exploded violently.

From more than twenty meters away, Gunei could feel the fierce air blast surge outward.

After all, it was a fifth-rank transcendent spell—its power would kill or injure any first- or second-rank transcendent who so much as brushed against it.

With the violent explosion of the Ring Art Bombardment,

the silence of the night was abruptly shattered.

In the distance, the many dogs disturbed by the noise began barking.

Gunei, however, fixed his gaze entirely on the villa.

The originally sturdy and solid gate of the villa was now shattered to pieces.

Without any hesitation, Gunei advanced while casting the Rocket Spell.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

A dense volley of rockets shot forth.

A few rockets flew in through the broken gate, but most entered through the windows.

Accompanied by a crackling sound of breaking glass,

the rockets darted into the house, spreading flames that blazed fiercely, quickly igniting the curtains and anything else flammable.

As the battle began,

Gunei felt a surge of excitement and bloodlust deep in his veins, his whole body growing exhilarated.

"Today, I'll kill every last one of you."

Licking his lips, Gunei's eyes turned bloodshot.

His killing intent blazed as fiercely and fervently as the flames.
