Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Mighty Strength, Sneak Attack from Behind

John’s attacks continued to land with critical damage.

However, this time, he didn’t instantly kill the sixth-tier Abyss demons.

Even so, they were left with just a sliver of health and were in a stunned state.

Whoosh!

Immediately, an endless blaze swept across, engulfing the entire arena. Unsurprisingly, all these Abyss demons were instantly annihilated.

[Killed level 500 Abyss demon, gained 17,630 experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, skill point +1]

[Plunder talent activated, magic critical hit +1]

…

The notifications kept coming, and the arena floor was littered with equipment and items.

John, with a calm expression, picked up everything.

The surrounding powerful beings of various races erupted once again.

“This is impossible, absolutely impossible! How could a weak fourth-tier human possibly defeat 100 Abyss demons?”

“It seems this human isn’t so simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the Abyssal Land.” Someone looked seriously at John.

“It’s over, lost again!” A sixth-tier werewolf collapsed to the ground. Twice he had bet, and twice he had lost everything, even his life.

His time was nearly up; without the Fruit of Life to prolong his existence, he wouldn’t survive more than half a year.

The onlookers were indifferent, long since accustomed to such scenes.

The Flame Minotaur’s hands trembled as he tallied up his losses.

He now hated John to the core; the two bets had nearly bankrupted him.

Bonnie wore a faint smile as she watched John in the arena, unsurprised by the outcome.

“You knew this guy would win all along?” A unicorn approached, asking.

Bonnie glanced at her and replied calmly, “This kid is hiding his strength.”

“How did you know?” The unicorn frowned. She had observed John for a long time but hadn’t noticed anything special.

Bonnie didn’t hide it and explained, “He has the aura of a dark elf, which suggests he has another class—he’s likely a Nightmare Assassin.”

The unicorn was startled. “Are you saying he’s still hiding his strength?”

Bonnie nodded. She was well aware of the power of the Nightmare Assassin, the strongest class among the dark elves.

This human seemed to have some connection with her dark elf clan.

“The next match, against a sixth-tier epic boss Abyss demon!” At this moment, the voice of the Flame Minotaur resounded once more.

His voice was filled with madness. After losing a considerable amount of the Fruit of Life in two consecutive bets, he was determined to win it back at all costs.

The surrounding powerful beings from various races howled in excitement. Before the Flame Minotaur could even speak, they all placed their bets.

They overwhelmingly wagering on the sixth-tier epic Abyss demon to win.

John’s performance in the previous two battles had indeed been strong.

But it was impossible for him to be a match for a sixth-tier epic boss.

Even they, when facing a sixth-tier epic boss, would feel some pressure.

“Isn’t this a bit too much?” The unicorn frowned. John had already defeated the sixth-tier Abyss demons, proving that he had the ability to survive in the Abyss.

They shouldn’t continue to target him.

But the Flame Minotaur and the three-headed black dragon were clearly out for revenge, wanting to make John lose a large amount of the Fruit of Life.

Bonnie glanced at John, hesitated for a moment, then placed another bet of a thousand Fruits of Life, wagering that John would win.

To be honest, she wasn’t confident this time. She knew that John had some trump cards, but facing a sixth-tier epic boss, even with the Nightmare Assassin class, he was not likely to be a match.

The sixth-tier epic Abyss demon had terrifying stats, with all four basic attributes reaching a staggering 224,000 points, and a health pool of 2.5 million, far surpassing this human.

However, she wouldn’t let this human die. If John was in danger, she would step in to save him.

Seeing Bonnie bet on John winning again, the unicorn hesitated for a moment, then placed a bet of a thousand Fruits of Life as well.

After all, these Fruits of Life were just her recent winnings, so she wouldn’t be too upset if she lost them.

“What a bunch of shameless bastards!” On the arena stage, John opened his attribute panel to check his skill points.

During his recent hunts, he had accumulated 1,101 skill points, enough to upgrade his Holy Light Strike, a light magic spell, to Advanced Level 1.

Light magic was the bane of these dark creatures, and without revealing his true damage potential, it was his only reliable weapon.

He immediately spent the skill points, raising Holy Light Strike to Intermediate Level 10, maxing it out. Under the Archmage’s Blessing talent, it broke through to Advanced Level 1.

Holy Light Strike now dealt magic damage equal to 450% of John’s spirit power, with an additional 70% damage boost from the S-rank Holy Light talent, plus an extra 50% damage specifically against dark creatures.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a black gale howled through the arena as the Abyss demon launched its attack.

It was an intermediate dark magic spell, Dark Storm.

John had no time to dodge and could only cast Diamond Armor, bracing himself to withstand the incoming damage.

Boom!

-175004

John’s body was sent flying, his health nearly depleted, barely avoiding instant death.

“That was close!”

“Finish him off, kill that human!”

“We’re finally going to win!”

…

The powerful beings in the audience started to cheer, taunting loudly.

Bonnie watched the stage intently, her expression tense, ready to intervene at any moment.

At this moment, John remained calm, looking at the arrogant Abyss demon with a faint smile. He spoke softly, “You have no chance.”

The Abyss demon sneered, the dark energy around it surging once again as it activated its magic skill, Annihilation.

But John was faster. With a swift wave of his staff, flames transformed into a long serpent, striking swiftly.

Advanced magic: Inferno Dance.

Boom!

The flames exploded, forcing the Abyss demon to take a step back, its eyes widening in shock.

Its spell had been forcibly interrupted by John’s attack.

-5400

A damage number floated out.

With 2.5 million health, this amount of damage was almost negligible.

But then, Holy Light descended, a pillar of light crashing down.

Light magic: Holy Light Strike.

Boom!

-112010

The damage number flashed, instantly dealing 110,000 damage to the demon.

“This human actually knows light magic!”

“Luckily, he’s only at the fourth tier, no match for a sixth-tier epic boss.”

“Damn it, stop holding back! Kill that human! If you lose, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

…

Angry shouts echoed around the arena.

The Abyss demon, now fearful, launched another attack on John.

An overwhelming darkness enveloped the arena, John feels dangerous.

It is Dark Descent, a dark aura that weakened the enemy’s attributes.

John responded immediately.

The wind howled, and a massive Wind Blade cut through the air, striking the Abyss demon.

Boom!

Wind elements surged, scattering the surrounding darkness.

Once again, the demon’s spell was interrupted by John’s attack.

“Roar…” The Abyss demon roared furiously, as if a raging fire in its heart had no outlet.

Another Holy Light descended.

Boom!

-117400

The Abyss demon lost another 110,000 health points.

“Why is this human’s skill cooldown so fast?”

“He has a spell cooldown reduction talent!”

“Not only that, but his combat skills far exceed the Abyss demon’s. It looks like we’re going to lose again!”

…

The onlookers clenched their fists, staring intently at the battlefield.

At this point, the once-powerful Abyss demon was being relentlessly battered by John, unable to fight back.

Its health was rapidly dwindling, now almost depleted.

Just then, Holy Light flickered around John as he prepared to unleash Holy Light Strike once more.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, dark magic surged, and a black arrow shot out from the crowd, aimed directly at John.

“Not good!” John’s expression shifted. He could sense the terrifying power of the arrow, but it was too late to dodge.

Thud!

-14171050

[You have been instantly killed by the three-headed black dragon, Undying and Immortal talent activated].

Over 14 million damage—unbelievable!

“Three-headed black dragon, you’re courting death!” A furious shout rang out as Bonnie charged directly at the three-headed black dragon.

“Not dead?” the three-headed black dragon exclaimed in surprise. Forgetting about John for a moment, it quickly turned its attention to fending off Bonnie’s assault.

Meanwhile, on the arena stage, another Holy Light descended, instantly killing the Abyss demon.

[You have killed a level 600, sixth-tier epic Abyss demon, gaining 442,000 experience points.]

[You have leveled up to level 107: Constitution +1, Strength +5, Spirit +5, Agility +3, Free Attribute Points +20, Skill Points +2.]

[Plunder talent activated: Dark Element Affinity +1.]

The notifications flashed as John’s level increased once more.

But what was this new attribute he had plundered?

Dark Element Affinity? It was yet another attribute he had never encountered before.

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, a series of explosions echoed through the arena as everyone scrambled to dodge. The eighth-tier three-headed black dragon and the eighth-tier dark elf were locked in a fierce battle.

The aftermath of their clashing skills alone was powerful enough to instantly kill a sixth-tier warrior.

“Stop! The match is over.” A powerful Behemoth intervened, separating Bonnie and the three-headed black dragon.

Bonnie ceased her attack and coldly remarked, “Three-headed black dragon, this kid is under my protection. You’d better behave yourself.”

“Oh, really?” The three-headed black dragon’s six black eyes fixed on Bonnie, its killing intent palpable. It sneered, “Do you really think you can protect this little one?”

The Behemoth frowned and interjected, “Black dragon, this kid’s strength is enough to survive in the Abyss. You can’t harm him.”

The three-headed black dragon, unconvinced, retorted, “We have a rule: those who reach the seventh tier are not allowed to kill each other. But this human is only at the fourth tier, far from reaching the seventh!”

The powerful beings trapped in the Abyss had established a rule: those who reached the seventh tier or above were prohibited from killing each other.

At the seventh tier, one had enough strength to protect oneself in the Abyss, and if one reached the ninth tier, there was a possibility of comprehending the dark laws and escaping this place.

The three-headed black dragon continued to glare coldly at John on the arena stage. This human had cost him over 7,000 Fruits of Life, a loss he could not stomach.

The Behemoth continued, “His cultivation may be at the fourth tier, but his strength is enough to slay a sixth-tier epic Abyss demon. He’s on par with a seventh-tier warrior.”

“If that’s the case, then let’s have him fight a seventh-tier warrior. If he wins, we’ll let him go,” the three-headed black dragon replied coldly.

“Could you be any more shameless?” Bonnie scoffed.

It was clear to everyone that John’s victory over the Abyss demon was due to his powerful light magic, which countered his opponent.

Facing a seventh-tier warrior, he was almost certain to die.

The Behemoth glanced at the black dragon, warning, “You are not to touch this human!”

The three-headed black dragon clenched its teeth in frustration, ultimately forced to relent.

Behemoth, Bonnie, and the unicorn—three powerful beings—were clearly siding with the human. He knew better than to make a blatant move against them.
