Chapter 3: Instantly Slaying Servant-Level Demons!
…………
He quickly noticed something was wrong. The giant-eyed rat was behaving very strangely. There was a deep, bone-revealing laceration on its hind leg, from which dark red blood was still seeping out, and it seemed unsteady on its feet. It was gnawing on the carcass of an unknown animal, clearly trying to regain its strength through eating.
"Injured? Looks like you just had a fight with other demons, or you were injured and escaped by a squad of mage hunters." Lin Ze's lips curled into an excited smile.
Lonely, injured, and a low-level demon. This is practically a godsend beginner's tutorial package!
"Dimo, get ready to work."
Lin Ze took a deep breath and closed his eyes. In his mental world, the golden star track connecting Dimo instantly took shape, in one smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation. The monotonous practice day after day over the past six months had allowed him to reach a level of consummate skill in controlling the star track.
"Dimensional Summoning!"
A dazzling moon-white summoning circle lit up on the open ground beside Lin Ze. Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a clear "Dimo!", the little guy, radiating holy light, leaped out of the circle.
As soon as Dimo appeared, his pure light magic instantly shattered the gloom of the wilderness.
The giant-eyed rat nearby immediately stopped chewing, its huge single eye snapping shut, staring intently at Lin Ze and Dimo. For the giant-eyed rat, which had lived in a dark and filthy environment for years, the sacred aura of light emanating from Dimo was more repulsive and irritating than the most dazzling sunlight.
"squeak!!!"
The giant-eyed rat let out a piercing screech, abandoned the food in front of it, dragged its injured hind leg, opened its foul-smelling mouth full of fangs, and pounced madly towards Lin Ze.
"Holy shit, that's disgusting!" Lin Ze almost vomited from the overwhelming stench of the giant-eyed rat. He forced himself to endure the nausea and shouted, "Dimo, wash this ugly thing's face! Use Flash Shock!"
Facing a gigantic, ferocious-looking rat several times its size, Dimo showed no sign of backing down. Instead, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in its eyes—the battle instinct of a high-level bloodline pet!
"Di-Mo!"
Dimo let out a high-pitched cry, and the golden 'V' mark on its chest instantly burst forth with dazzling light. Instead of retreating, it exerted force with all four limbs and charged towards the giant-eyed rat like an arrow released from a bow.
During the sprint, Dimo was enveloped in a dense, almost tangible golden light, transforming the entire pet into a dazzling golden shooting star.
【Flash Impact】: Gathers light energy throughout the body and charges at enemies at extremely high speed. It has an additional effect against shadow, undead, and evil creatures!
The giant-eyed rat instinctively squinted its enormous single eye under the blinding light, causing its movements to become fatally slowed.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed through the wilderness.
Dimo, transformed into a golden meteor, struck the giant eye of the giant-eyed rat with perfect accuracy!
"squeak!!!"
The giant-eyed rat let out a piercingly miserable scream.
The giant-eyed rat's enormous body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the cement wall of the abandoned reservoir, leaving a large crack.
It landed on the ground, its body twitching a few times. Its huge single eye had been burned into a charred mess by the light energy, and dark red blood mixed with brain matter flowed out.
After struggling for only a few seconds, the giant-eyed rat completely lost its life.
One-hit kill!
"My goodness..."
Lin Ze stood there, watching Dimo run back to his feet and look up at him, begging for praise. He couldn't help but gasp.
He knew Dimo was strong, but the actual combat effect was just too exaggerated, wasn't it?
Although this giant-eyed rat was injured and had difficulty moving, it was still a genuine servant-level demon! It was known for its thick skin and tough flesh; even a level 1 fire magic spell, [Fire Scorch - Burning], would probably only burn off a layer of its skin.
Dimo, however, instantly killed it with just one [Flash Impact]!
"This combat power is definitely among the top ranks of servant-level demons. A light-elemental divine pet, truly living up to its reputation!" Lin Ze bent down and gave Dimo's head a good ruffled ruffle. "Well done, little guy. I'll give you a special treat tonight—a top-tier magic-powered meal!"
However, despite his excitement, Lin Ze did not become arrogant.
"Calm down, Lin Ze, you need to calm down. This is just a weakened Giant-Eyed Blood Rat, and it's even blinded by the bright light. It has the advantage of timing, location, and people. If it were a fast-moving demon like the Bone-Spiked Wolf in its prime, Dimo might not be able to handle it so easily." Lin Ze silently warned himself. In this world full of dangers, pride and complacency are often the first step to death.
Just as Lin Ze was about to step forward to check the spoils, the system's crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding! Free spirits detected nearby. Collect them?]
"Holy crap?! Spirit essence?!"
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened like copper bells, and his voice even split.
Essence! That's an extremely precious strategic resource in the world of "Full-Time Magister"!
There is a very small chance that a demon will drop its essence upon death. Essence is the core material for crafting various high-level magical tools. Even the lowest-grade servant-level essence can fetch millions on the market!
"What kind of incredible luck is this? Killing a lowly rat and getting a spirit essence? Lady Luck is truly on my side!" Lin Ze was so excited his hands were trembling. "Collect! Quickly collect! System, hurry!"
[Ding! It has been detected that the host does not yet possess a container for collecting essences. Hidden achievement reward: Undead Vessel x1.]
As the system's voice faded, a small black gourd, about the size of a palm and neither gold nor jade, appeared out of thin air in Lin Ze's hand.
"Your system even has delayed delivery? You're smart to be sensible." Lin Ze grabbed the undead artifact tightly.
Above the corpse of the dead giant-eyed rat, a firefly-like speck of light emitting an eerie green glow was about to dissipate into the air. Lin Ze quickly raised the small black gourd in his hand, and a strange suction force emanated from the gourd's mouth, instantly drawing the eerie green speck of light inside.
[Ding! Collection successful. Obtained: Slave-level Giant-eyed Blood Rat Essence x1.]
Looking at the ball of pure energy lying quietly in the necromancer's vessel, Lin Ze felt like he was dreaming. That's worth millions!
He had never seen so much money in his life!
