As the first spell descended, Ethan swiftly sidestepped, scooping up the treasure chest and transforming into bear form.
Boom…
A barrage of magical attacks rained down, most of them slamming into the spot where he had just stood. A few spells struck him, and a flurry of '-1!' damage numbers floated above his head like a fountain.
After transforming into the bear, his health, which had been a staggering 13,090, plummeted rapidly. In an instant, it dropped to just 10%.
Ethan crushed the Advanced Instant Health Potion he had been holding in his mouth, along with a Medium Slow Health Recovery Potion. In the system shop, the Advanced Instant Health Potion cost 75 gold coins each. In one gulp, he had just consumed over $75,000 in real-world cash!
Whoosh…
+13,000!
The potion took effect just as his health dropped to a mere 90 points, saving him by the skin of his teeth.
