Alex waited until all four summoned creatures were within range before activating Silent Realm.

An invisible wave emanated from Alex, covering the 25-meter radius.

Three of the four summons shattered into pieces and were forcefully dispelled.

"This skill is really effective!" Alex marveled, seeing only one lone monster left. He raised his hand, casting an ice ray to slow it down.

Instead of using the meteorite technique, Alex continued with ice rays, freezing the monster in place.

After casting more than seventy spells, the gardener fell to the ground.

**[You have killed the crazy gardener, and your experience value has increased by 800. You have upgraded.]**

Upon killing the gardener, Alex leveled up to 9, gaining another 1,000 skill points.

After some thought, he upgraded Ice Ray to an S-level skill, ensuring all his skills were now S-level.

**[Extreme Cold Shock] (S level) lvmax**

- Cost: 7000 mana

- Release time: Instant

- Description: Releases frost energy towards the target, freezing the opponent and causing 50,000+intelligence*10 points of frost damage. In the frozen state, the target receives an additional 50% damage, and the freezing lasts 1.5 seconds.

The damage of Extreme Cold Shock isn't extremely high, but its instant cast and no cooldown make it quite useful.

Alex now had another controlling skill, allowing for infinite control.

The gardener's death finally caught the goblins' attention, who stopped to look at Alex.

Alex shouted to them, "I'm the warrior invited by Bobo to save the Fairy Queen. I'm going to defeat the evil dryad now. You should get out of here quickly."

The goblins, hearing that Alex was invited by Bobo, flew around happily, "The brave one has come to save the fairies. Soon we'll be free!"

This commotion incited a riot among the dryads. "You mischievous little fairies, get back to work quickly, or my branches will strike you hard."

But a massive meteorite greeted the dryad,

-1500

The dryad was a huge wood monster, and the meteorite spell caused significant damage, though it wasn't stunned due to its characteristics.

Seeing the damage, Alex was shocked, "Why is the damage so high!"

With no time to dwell on it, Alex realized that high damage was beneficial. Five meteorite spells could potentially defeat the dryad.

Alex was a bit too optimistic. After the dryad took the initial hit, it quickly activated its rooting skill.

+800

+800

Recovering 10% of its health every second, the dryad's health was full before Alex could release his second meteorite technique.

Another meteorite shot was fired, but the dryad's health was full again in less than two seconds.

"This is a bit unfair!" Alex said, frustrated.

His casting time was 3 seconds to deal 1500 damage, but the dryad recovered to full health in under 2 seconds. It seemed unfair.

Thinking it over, Alex cast Extreme Cold Shock at the dryad.

-170

Three-digit damage appeared on the dryad's head, but then a +800 health recovery effect followed.

"Hey, what should we do?"

Alex found himself at a loss.

While pacing around, he noticed that the dryad didn't seem to be attacking. It simply continued using its rooting skills, apparently biding its time until the witch's reinforcements arrived, which would put Alex in a bind.

"Yes!" Alex saw Silent Realm in his skill bar and devised a plan.

Moving 20 meters closer to the dryad, Alex began casting Blazing Barrier. Damage started appearing on the dryad.

-500

+800

Then Alex kept casting Extreme Cold Shock at the monster,

-180

-500

+800

Seizing the right moment, Alex activated Silent Realm, interrupting the dryad's healing skill.

Taking advantage of the silence, Alex began casting the meteorite spell. He fired two meteorite spells in succession, with one dealing a critical hit.

-1500

-2800 (critical hit)

When the silence ended, the dryad tried to activate its rooting skill again. At that moment, Alex hit it with Extreme Cold Shock, killing the dryad.

**[You have killed the crazy dryad (elite), and you have gained 3,000 experience points.]**

As soon as the dryad died, Bobo flew in from outside the garden, "The evil dryad is defeated. You've saved our sisters, thank you."

Alex responded with a smile and picked up the equipment dropped by the dryad.

**[Heart of the Dryad] (Gold)**

- Requirements: Level 8, Health 1500+

- Attributes: HP +800, Constitution +30, Strength +30

- Effect: Increases your health regeneration rate by 100%.

**[Forest Pants] (Silver)**

- Requirements: Archer profession, Level 5

- Attributes: HP +200, Agility +20, Strength +20

- Effect: In forest areas, movement speed +20%.

Despite his success, Alex was somewhat frustrated at working for others again.

He tossed the necklace to Tom and gave the trousers to June.

June took the equipment with a complicated expression, thanked him, and put on the forest pants.

Originally, Alex had some expectations, but after June put them on, her face fell slightly, thinking: Why are they so tightly wrapped?

Alex's eyes moved between Lily and June's legs.

Lily wore a fairy skirt, showcasing her long, white, beautiful legs, while June wore forest pants, not even exposing her ankles.

June, with her keen senses, noticed Alex's gaze and felt a bit embarrassed, "What are you looking at!"

Alex chuckled, "Oh, nothing. Just admiring the goblins' craftsmanship."

Hearing Alex, Tom secretly gave a thumbs-up.

After defeating the dryad, the group of fairies grew once more. Bobo approached Alex and said: "Warrior, ahead lies the witch's laboratory. There are her most loyal servants and her most powerful group of monsters."

After Bobo finished speaking, he produced a skill book from nowhere and handed it to Alex, "Warrior, you're powerful, but you seem to lack attack methods. I hope this skill book helps you."

Upon taking the skill book, Alex smiled after reading the skill description, "Thank you, this skill book is very useful to me." He then learned the skill.

**[Skill]: Gale (Level B) lv1**

- Skill consumption: 800 mana

- Casting time: Instant

- Effect: Releases a powerful gust of wind to repel the enemy, causing 2500+intelligence*1 points of magic damage, with a cooldown of 5 seconds.

"Yes, another control skill."

Alex nodded with satisfaction, seeing the new skill in his bar.

Having insufficient skill points to upgrade, Alex decided to accumulate skill points first.

"Low-level skills are too cost-efficient. Upgrading to S-level requires too many skill points. Unless necessary, it's best to learn S-level skills directly in the future."
