The mage is elegant

"Sure, I can help you with the translation. Please provide me with the content you need to translate."

"Sure enough, the probability of triggering the Divine Radiance by the Elite Monsters is higher!"

The three Elite Monsters gained an increase of two intelligence points, which pleasantly surprised Su Mu.

"Greater Healing!"

+3780!

With a healing skill, the clone's health instantly replenished to full.

"Let's continue forward!"

Controlling the clone, a half-person, Su Mu proceeded further into the cave.

After walking for a while, the path ahead suddenly became shrouded in a mist-like substance.

"In this pitch-black valley, there's even mist?"

Su Mu couldn't help but comment.

However, at that moment, the mist-covered clone began to lose health.

-1!

-1!

The health loss was not significant, but it continued persistently.

"Is it poisonous?"

Su Mu quickly realized the situation and controlled the clone to exit the misty area.

The -1 damage indeed disappeared.

"With just this amount of damage, considering my healing capacity, I should be able to handle it."

With three healing skills at his disposal, Su Mu was not worried about his clone dying. He pressed forward.

As for why he didn't activate the magic shield, it was mainly because he was concerned about encountering Skeleton Warriors in the mist. If the shield entered cooldown at that time, it would be troublesome.

As expected, after walking in the mist for a while, three skeletons appeared on the ground ahead.

"I'll handle them myself; the clone can simply charge out of the mist."

With the constant health drain from the mist and the three Skeleton Warriors, Su Mu had no time to control the clone.

"Magic Shield!"

Activating the shield, he controlled the clone to charge straight ahead.

Once inside the range of the three skeletons, the Skeleton Warriors also stood up.

"Fire Rain!"

Without hesitation, Su Mu cast Fire Rain.

-1810!

-1810!

-1810!

Three damage numbers appeared simultaneously as the Skeleton Warriors immediately launched an attack towards Su Mu.

"Magic Missiles!"

"Ice Arrow!"

-2440!

-1810!

Su Mu decisively aimed at one of the Skeleton Warriors and unleashed two instant-cast skills simultaneously.

That Skeleton Warrior fell to the ground instantly.

However, its companion also charged towards Su Mu.

"Kidney Strike!"

Su Mu didn't back down. He raised his staff and swung it towards the waist of one Skeleton Warrior.

-1080!

After a significant damage number appeared, a stun symbol also appeared above the Skeleton Warrior's head.

"Assassin skills are really powerful!"

Taking advantage of this skill, Su Mu directly maneuvered behind the Skeleton Warrior.

As for the remaining one, he chose to ignore it altogether.

With the magic shield active, the Skeleton Warrior couldn't do anything to harm Su Mu.

"Backstab!"

Raising his staff, Su Mu used another skill, delivering a heavy blow to the Skeleton Warrior's back.

-1316!

And it didn't end there. After a successful hit, Su Mu used another assassin skill.

"Piercing Strike!"

-1160!

Another damage number appeared above the Skeleton Warrior's head.

But even so, it still didn't die.

At this point, the stun symbol on its head disappeared.

"I still have warrior skills!"

Su Mu smiled faintly and used a cleave, smashing the remaining low-health Skeleton Warrior with his staff.

A ball of light burst out from its body, which Su Mu grabbed, feeling a surge of magic power within him.

"Blink!"

The next second, he instantly moved dozens of meters away, outside of the mist.

And the clone also ran to that spot.

"Once that Skeleton Warrior comes within range, we can finish it."

Su Mu stood in place, his eyes fixed on the mist behind him.

Soon, a figure caught up.

"Fireball!"

With two skills unleashed, the last Skeleton Warrior also fell.

"You have slain a Skeleton Warrior (Elite) and gained 200 experience points."

"Through the Divine Radiance, you have gained one point of base intelligence!"

"Three Skeleton Warriors, and I've gained a bit more intelligence. It's so satisfying!"

With another increase in intelligence, Su Mu's smile was radiant.

This is much more enjoyable than fighting a group of monsters outside.

"I've gained 1200 experience points. Leveling up is getting closer."

"If I continue grinding in this instance, I'm sure I'll be the first to reach level 10. There should be a reward, right?"

Looking at the partially filled experience bar, Su Mu couldn't help but feel excited.

"The rock wall here looks different, huh?"

Suddenly, he noticed a groove on the rock wall in front of him.

A strange smell also reached his nostrils.

"Kerosene?"

Su Mu raised an eyebrow and placed his torch on it.

With a whoosh, the groove on the rock wall instantly ignited, forming a spectacular line of fire that illuminated the entire cave.

"What's that?"

With an unobstructed view, Su Mu looked ahead and his eyes widened.

About a hundred meters away, the cave opened up, and he could vaguely see a pile of bones several meters high.

On top of that bone pile seemed to stand a Skeleton Monster wielding a bone staff.

From its appearance, that guy should be a mage, and most likely a mage boss.

"With that many skeletal remains, if I go over there, how many Skeleton Warriors will come out?"

Compared to melee bosses, Su Mu was more wary of mage bosses.

After all, even if melee bosses had high attack power, he could kite and kill them, but mage bosses were different.

Mage bosses definitely had high magic resistance, and their skills might have a longer range than his own.

"I'll check the boss's attributes later. There are still two groups of Skeleton Monsters ahead!"

Su Mu shifted his gaze from the boss to the two piles of bones in front of him.

One group had four monsters, and the other had five.

"Three Fireball spells plus one Frost Nova should be enough to wipe out the Skeleton Monster groups. Should I go big on this?"

The distance between the two groups of monsters was about thirty to forty meters.

It was feasible to run to the position of the other group before triggering the first one.

"The cooldown for Fireball is one minute. With the terrain here, if I use Blink to run back and forth, I should be able to stall for three minutes without any problems."

Fighting nine elite monsters at once would be a crazy move.

Even with just one elite monster, it wouldn't be easy for a five-person team to defeat it.

Moreover, this instance wasn't designed for a five-person team; it was a raid instance with a maximum of twenty players.

In a raid instance with twenty people, Su Mu was playing so boldly all by himself that if there were others present, they would be kneeling on the ground in admiration, or even lying down shouting about how amazing he was. Of course, in the eyes of other players, they couldn't even imagine such a scene.

To enter this Misty Valley instance, the minimum level requirement was level 8. Looking across the whole world, even if a few more days passed, there wouldn't be any faction or corporation capable of assembling a level 8 five-person team, let alone a twenty-person small group.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mu had a plan in mind. He controlled his clone and hid it behind a mountain wall. The clone wouldn't be of much use against a group of monsters, but it would come in handy later when facing the boss. If he accidentally died, he would have to wait for an hour for the cooldown.

With everything prepared, he walked towards the location of the first group of Skeleton Monsters.

"If I can't handle these monsters in a group, then what's the point of playing a mage?"

"A mage's playstyle is all about elegance!"

Su Mu was full of confidence!
