Twenty Silver Elves nodded their heads in unison.

"What about me, my Lord?" Hu Que asked from the side.

"You and Namenis take charge of one side each," Brando replied.

"No need for help?" The Silver Elf Commander rarely spoke.

"Leave it to me. I don't want that guy to die so quickly," Brando replied, while having other thoughts in his mind. Though a Low-level Dark Priest is known as a pauper, it's still an Elite creature at Level 25. In every aspect, it's equivalent to an ordinary unit around Level 35. Of course, the only difference is that while it might be troublesome for him to handle a Level 35 creature alone, dealing with a Level 25 Elite would be much easier. Not to mention, it provides a considerable amount of experience.

Without giving the two a chance to retort, the young man charged forward single-handedly.

Blocking his way were two Bachis Demons, each nearly three meters tall. These creatures were powerful as attack-oriented demons naturally possess Charge abilities, making them one of the nightmares for low-level archers and wizards. Unfortunately for them, Brando was neither an archer nor a wizard, but a warrior. He dashed towards the demons, and before they could bring down their heavy blades, he had already slipped behind one like a ghost.

The Bachis Demons, being Level 24 creatures, had 14 energy levels in Strength but only a measly 7 in dexterity—barely half of Brando's dexterity in a burst. Its proud Charge Skill and Thick Skin trait were not worth mentioning in front of the young man. Brando slashed a wound on its back and continued to maintain his position behind the beast with agile movements, landing another blow.

The pitiful Bachis Demon was tortured to death disgracefully, not even getting a clear look at its enemy before it bled out.

At this moment, the Dark Priest of the Black Fire Sect finally completed his spell, screaming as he hurled a black lightning bolt at Brando. This lightning was not ordinary; Brando knew the spell was called Demon's Claw, a Dual Spell focusing first on damage with hellfire from dark element transformation and then on slowing the target, an effect much stronger than the Ice Split Arrow as a Level III Ring Magic spell.

Instead of just slowing, it would pin a person to the ground, and if the target's strength didn't exceed 40 energy levels, they would be stuck for a minute and a half, ready to be beaten.

This spell was one of the most practical for Dark Element Masters, Evil Priests, and witches in their early stages, especially for ambushes. Unfortunately for the Dark Priest, Brando wanted to say that this was not the right way to use it. While early game players liked to throw out spells without precision, the best use of this spell was to hide its effects with a 'Light Curved Path' spell or use it in close quarters.

Because aiming was crucial for the Demon's Claw spell.

Brando swung his sword backhandedly, sending the corpse of the Bachis Demon flying into the air, intercepting the serpentine black lightning. The lightning exploded upon contact, launching a flurry of black sparks along the sides of the cold corpse and pinning it to the ground—a magnificent display, but ineffective against its true target.

At this moment, Brando raised his longsword, combining Power Burst and the Ghost Knight Crystal enhancement to unleash 30 energy levels in strength, slashing off the remaining Bachis Demon's arm and head in a single strike. He took a deep breath; Power Burst was potent but drained stamina rapidly. Fortunately, a sphere of light from the demon's body merged into him, sending a warm flow from his heart throughout his body. A line of eerie green text appeared in front of his eyes:

"Character reached 'Level 25', entering the fate unlocking stage."

"Character acquired skill 'Frontal Breakthrough'; Frontal Breakthrough (Level 0) — consumes 5x stamina to break through the opponent's defenses (armor, innate, magical) in the next strike, reducing 1.7 damage resistance."

"Detected a nearby destiny item 'Golden Fruit of Destiny', would you like to activate destiny talent 'Golden Revelation'?"

Brando was startled, Are you kidding! He quickly shook his head, "Refuse, I refuse to activate!"

...

(PS: Correcting a mistake, the protagonist was mentioned as Level 23 in earlier chapters; it's actually Level 24, forgot to check the attributes while writing. So, Brando was only one level away from reaching Level 25 and unlocking the destiny talent. Also, reached Uncle's house, thought I couldn't write three chapters today, but managed to do it, 233...)(To be continued, for more, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters available, support the author, support official reading!)
