Chapitre 18: Chapter 18 Advancement and News
The translucent screen slowly unfolded.
[You killed the Scorpion-tailed Lion and gained 700xp]
[You killed the Scorpion-tailed Lion and gained 700xp]
[Occupation Level increased to Level 4]
Cassius couldn't help but feel excited. In the "Erezer" system, improving one's strength was extremely difficult.
And every fourth level was almost a qualitative leap for general professionals, significantly enhancing their strength, making it a considerable leap in the early stages.
[Choose to enhance Sorcerer Level]
[You can choose to increase your Attribute Points by 2]
Cassius pondered for a moment and decided to allocate all his Attribute Points to Charisma to enhance his spellcasting ability.
The Attribute Points obtained in the early stages could only augment attributes below 20, and the original strength level of the Red Dragon was too high to be augmented.
[Choose to increase Charisma to 18]
[You obtained an extra feat: Combat Casting]
Combat Casting (General Feat)
Casting or using spell-like abilities while in defense, captured, or suppressed states gives bonuses to concentration.
[Due to the Dragon Bloodline, you obtained the Dragonkin's extra feat: Maximized Breath Weapon]
Maximized Breath Weapon:
Once a day, the dragon could choose to unleash its most powerful breath weapon, with three times the power of the original breath weapon, requiring 25-45 seconds of charging time. Within the preceding hour, the dragon must not have used its breath weapon, and the energy consumed in this attack would prevent the dragon from using another breath attack for at least two hours thereafter.
[Due to the Dragon Bloodline, you obtained the Dragonkin's extra feat: Targeted Breath Attack]
Targeted Breath Attack:
Once a day, the dragon could target specific targets with its breath attack, instead of causing the usual carpet-bombing area effect. The dragon could also choose up to ten individual creatures to aim at and unleash small, focused breath attacks on them with its breath weapon.
[Obtain additional Second Tier Spells: Misty Step, Phantom Force]
Misty Step
2nd Tier Spell
You are briefly surrounded by silvery mist and teleport to an unoccupied location you can see within 30 feet.
Phantom Force
2nd Tier Illusion Spell
You designate a creature you can see within spellcasting distance, creating an illusion rooted in its consciousness.
The affected target believes in the illusion's authenticity, even suffering direct harm from it.
For instance, an illusion manifesting as flames, acidic pools, or magma could burn the target.
[Obtain additional First Tier Spells: Hypnotism, Shield Spell]
Several spells appeared in Cassius's mind.
His spellcasting ability was further enhanced, and his willpower in reality became more substantial.
Cassius had no doubt that with his current spellcasting ability, he could easily toy with the young dragon he encountered previously.
The information panel unexpectedly unfolded before him.

Challenge Level: 11 (7,600xp)
Assessment: "A highly talented Red Dragon Sorcerer, continually pursuing power. Terrifying. Generally, Dragon Sorcerers are driven by a desire stronger than wealth and power. They seek to master themselves and the power brewing within them. They pursue the most mysterious and dangerous knowledge, touching upon the most undisturbed elements firsthand."
"Reaching Challenge Level above ten, they acquire a unique title."
"So, it looks like I am considered a minor boss." Cassius thought to himself.
He needed to continue enhancing his strength.
Legend had it that Cassius in his previous life, after signing a pact with the demons, was covered in heavy red-black armor, with eyes blazing with the flames of Abyssal revenge.
In just a short decade, his Challenge Level even surpassed the twentieth level mark, becoming an undisputed world boss, a player killer, and a newbie nightmare, causing countless professional gamers to meet their demise under his claws.
Yet the current Cassius, although much stronger, was still far from that level of power.
"Where exactly is the 'Demon of the Mountains' mentioned in the legend?"
"In the depths of the Ancytica Mountains?"
"Or in the northern Carpathian Mountains?"
Cassius didn't know, but he was not ready to seek it out just yet.
He felt his strength was insufficient, and he was well-versed in the nature of abyssal demons, being an experienced player.
From version 1.0 to 4.0, from the Anzeta Demon Tide to the Dark Moon Catastrophe, nearly every main questline was related to the invasion of abyssal demons.
They were purely chaotic evil beings with no sense of morality and were unpredictable, dedicated to destroying and obliterating everything. According to some scholars, they were considered products of chaotic consciousness in the multiverse.
They could be drinking merrily with you one moment, and the next moment, they would mince you into meat paste. Compared to demons, even devils in hell seemed amiable.
So, he speculated that Cassius in his previous life must have paid an unimaginable price.
"However, I still have to see it."
"Even if it is truly a demon, I must tear a piece of flesh off it." Cassius muttered to himself.
Immediately, he took off from the top of the cliff.
The Scorpion-tailed Lion's nest was still burning, though the fire was gradually dying down. The massive nest had been charred.
Among the ashes, piles of blackened remains were mixed together, making it hard to distinguish whether they were from the Scorpion-tailed Lion or its unfortunate victims.
