BOOM!
Ethan raised his hand and launched a Great Fireball into the sky.
This was precisely the level 5 Great Fireball Technique.
[Great Fire Rain]
After the Great Fireball flew into midair, it suddenly burst open like a firework.
Immediately after, countless red-glowing sparks fell down, like fire raining from the sky.
Drop by drop, streak by streak.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The fire rain hit the ground like hail, like bombs, smashing crater after crater into the earth.
But because each flame was extremely small, about the size of a glass bead, it went out the moment it hit the ground.
Yet even a fireball as small as a marble, for those Rotting Corpse Wolves, was... an absolute catastrophe.
Just one move. The Rotting Corpse Wolves that had been running all over inside the trapped formation were all crippled in an instant.
Although a few wolves at the edge of the fire rain weren't killed outright and were only left crippled, lying on the ground barely clinging to life, for Ethan, that was already more than enough.
He had always lacked a large-area attack spell.
He didn't expect… That after the Great Fireball reached level 5, it would bring him such a huge surprise.
Even though Great Fire Rain was still a bit lacking in attack power against a Boss-level existence like the Tyrant, when it came to clearing mobs, it was truly effective.
It was far more convenient than killing them one by one.
It's just… the experience needed for the next level of the Great Fireball Technique actually required 2000 to level up.
And his mental power had increased by another 1000, reaching 7000, which was clearly far from enough for leveling. As expected, leveling up was getting harder and harder.
While muttering to himself, Ethan began collecting loot all over the field.
[Water Element Beast Core +1]
[Wind Element Beast Core +1]
[Rotten Bones +365]
[Highly Toxic Wolf Fang +1]
[Water Element Beast Core +1]
[Water Element Beast Core…]
Seeing that Ethan had already cleared the field, Nostradamus naturally had no need to keep hiding on the tree trunk.
With a wave of his hand, he brought the bone horse and the scarecrow back down to the ground once again.
At this moment, Genie Sylas was still standing there, looking stunned as he said, "Old ghost, you saw that just now, right?"
"Mm, saw it," Nostradamus nodded, "That last move was an area-of-effect spell, Great Fire Rain."
"The disciple you took in is a genius, isn't he?"
"Of course! I'm an Archmage. If the kid didn't have any talent, would I have taken him in?"
"Really?", Sylas raised an eyebrow, "I remember that's not what you said at the beginning."
"Did I? I don't remember."
"Old ghost, look…", Sylas unusually didn't argue back this time and instead said, "I'm also lacking a successor. How about I trade you some good stuff for your disciple?"
"Get lost!", Nostradamus shot back without hesitation.
"Fine, don't trade. Stingy old man."
Sylas grumbled, but in his heart he had already decided to secretly teach him later.
After all, at their level, what kind of people hadn't they seen.
But a genius like Ethan… Someone who could take the Great Fireball Technique from the lowest level to an area-of-effect level in just one day, they truly had never seen before.
How would they find so many geniuses? Especially for old beings like them who didn't have many good days left, who wouldn't want a genius to inherit their legacy? So how could Sylas possibly let a talent like Ethan slip by.
"What is that kid doing?"
Ever since seeing Ethan's cultivation speed, Nostradamus found himself increasingly unable to understand what the kid was up to.
Before, taking out those strange dark magic items to kill a bunch of dark crows was one thing, but now he was standing in front of the Tyrant's massive skeleton, holding a book and muttering to himself, what was that supposed to be?
"Can't tell," Genie Sylas shook his head, but soon his eyes lit up, "Do you think he's reviewing this battle, trying to further consolidate the Great Fireball Technique and combat experience he just learned?"
"Very possible!", Nostradamus nodded repeatedly, "A teachable talent! Truly a teachable talent!"
———
However, the truth was that Ethan was currently holding his magic book and recording a video.
[World Channel]
["Hey everyone!",] Ethan greeted with a smile, ["I've been off-screen for an hour. I bet quite a few of you missed me, right?"]
["Were you all guessing that I chickened out?"]
["Or that I died?"]
["Or that I didn't dare to speak anymore?"]
["But I just want to tell everyone, this past hour I disappeared was actually spent fighting monsters."]
["That's right! What you're seeing now…"]
["This huge skeleton behind me is the monster I just killed."]
["Come on, I'll show you a full view of it."]
As he spoke, Ethan deliberately moved the magic book farther away, capturing a full panoramic shot of the monster.
And the moment Ethan's video was posted, the previously speculation-filled world channel instantly flooded with messages.
["Holy crap!"], Player A exclaimed, ["It's Boss Ethan! I told you he wasn't dead! You guys were all so sure he died! Damn!"]
["And didn't you believe it too?"], Player B retorted, ["Weren't you just saying earlier that Boss Ethan was stupid for going out himself instead of sending his people? And now you're acting like you knew all along?"]
["I never said Boss Ethan died! I just said it was risky for him to go out himself, don't twist my words,"] Player A shot back, ["Boss Ethan is the strongest among humans, how could he possibly die."]
Player D said, ["Stop arguing up there, you're spamming so fast I can't even see anything."]
["Lord Ethan is awesome,"] Player E said, ["He actually killed such a huge monster! What is that thing called? It looks really powerful."]
["Tch! What's so impressive about that?"]
District 1 Lord Shakun immediately jumped in mockingly, ["What's the big deal? We fought something even bigger than what Ethan killed, and we fought nearly a hundred of them. What's one monster worth?"]
["Heh!"], Luna from District 8 immediately sneered, ["Idiot! Oh wait, Shakun! If I remember correctly, you had a whole group fighting those, right? And they were just a bunch of bulls. Are they really that big? You're not seriously talking nonsense with a straight face, are you?"]
["They were wild bulls…"], District 1 Lord Shakun realized he had been baited and immediately retorted, ["Cut the crap! Those monsters were way bigger than what Ethan fought, and we're from the same district, what's wrong with team combat?"]
