Chapter 33: Mage Equipment
"Ding! You have been killed by player [Sealed]. Level -1. Since you were the aggressor, two or more random pieces of equipment have been dropped."
"S-Sealed?!"
Standing at the respawn point in the Novice Village, Logan's face twitched uncontrollably. He never expected that the random player they had picked a fight with would turn out to be Sealed. His regret was immeasurable.
He immediately turned and slapped the younger player who had started the altercation. "You idiot! You just got me killed!"
The young man didn't dare to speak. His legs felt weak just thinking about how he had talked down to Sealed, one of the most feared players in Oracle.
After venting his frustration, Logan opened his chat and sent a message to his guild leader. "Boss, I just ran into Sealed."
After effortlessly taking down Logan's party, Ethan Carter went about his business as if nothing had happened. He arrived at the Flame Lizard hunting ground, eager to test whether his Talent Potential had increased after reaching Bronze Rank.
Now that his strength had significantly improved again, he didn't even need to think about fighting. He simply dashed up to a Flame Lizard, landed two quick strikes, and moved on to the next one. His poison damage had already reached 260 per second, meaning two hits were more than enough to finish a lizard off.
As more lizards fell, a string of system notifications rang out.
"Ding! Talent activated. Poison damage increased by 1 point. Current poison damage: 261."
Seeing the notification, Ethan smirked. "Just as I thought—advancing in rank increases my poison damage cap."
