Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

After leaving Hero City, Vincent headed out to complete his first mission. He started with the mission that was furthest away.

Vincent’s first mission was to obtain the egg of the Undying Crow!

As the Special Forces have been clearing out monsters, he needed to travel to the defensive mountain range in order to look for high-level monsters.

The Undying Crow was an extremely rare monster. It was very hard to meet one even in the defensive mountain range.

Vincent unleashed his Flaming Wings and started his journey. After more than an hour, Vincent arrived at the foot of the defensive mountain range.

The last time he was there, he encountered the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, during that time, he was not strong enough to fight the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. He had no choice but to run.

As he had been training, he was confident that he could fight or maybe even win the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex if they meet again.

The Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex was very strong. It had the combat strength of a special-class monster. Vincent was currently fully capable of fighting against special-class monsters.

The combat strength of the Undying Crow was much weaker than that of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Its greatest characteristic was that it could not die. Even if it was chopped into pieces, it could still reborn after a period of time.

Therefore, Vincent will need to burn it to ashes.

After searching for more than an hour, Vincent finally found the nest of the Undying Crow. He threw a ball of Hellfire and burned the Undying Crow to ashes. He then walked into the nest.

Usually, normal flying monsters built their nests in trees. However, the Undying Crow built its nests in caves. There was also more than one Undying Crow in each cave.

Vincent walked into the dark cave. There was a pungent rotten smell inside the cave. It took Vincent a long time to get used to the smell.

He could feel many powerful auras in the cave. It was obvious that Vincent’s arrival had alerted the Undying Crows.

A large group of Undying Crows flew out of the cave not far from Vincent. Their eyes were red, and they looked at Vincent angrily.

Vincent flipped his hand and took out his Purgatory Blade.

“Great!” shouted Vincent.

He suddenly jumped and swung his Purgatory Blade. A streak of Hellfire shot out in front of him.

It was his combat skill, Jump Slash!

Swoosh!

As he swung his Purgatory Blade, more than ten Undying Crows were ignited by Hellfire. They all burned to death.

The remaining Undying Crows were not bothered by the death of their companions. However, their speed became much faster. They were clearly very angry with Vincent.

“Caw!”

Countless Undying Crows cried out at the same time. It was deafening. They had all cried out together in an almost fully sealed cave.

Vincent was unprepared. He was so shaken that he started to feel dizzy. Blood started to flow out of his ears.

“Fire Net!”

He released the Hellfire Net and used it as a shield.

The Undying Crows crashed into his Fire Net and were instantly burned to death. Countless crows were still charging at him. However, all of them disappeared after coming into contact with the Fire Net.

After half an hour, the Undying Crows had all been eliminated.

Vincent knelt on the ground. Blood was oozing out of his seven orifices as he panted heavily.

The cry of the Undying Crows was extremely damaging. However, it felt more like a mental injury.

Fortunately, as Vincent had fused his superpowers using the gemstone, he possessed the Godly King’s Posture. His injured body recovered rapidly.

A few minutes later, Vincent stood up completely healed. He then walked into the cave.

The tunnels within the cave were complex. They all intersected with one another. Vincent could not even remember how many tunnels he had walked through. He was having a lot of difficulties trying to discern his own location.

As Vincent had no other choice, he decided to leave Hellfire seeds in order to retrace his steps.

After looking at the time, Vincent realized that he had actually walked in circles for more than three hours. Fortunately, he could feel countless faint signs of life in front of him. Otherwise, he would have given up.

He walked towards the faint signs. Suddenly, he widened his eyes.

He saw dense crow eggs lying all over the ground. Vincent was delighted. He kept them all in his system backpack. He filled it up to the brink.

Just as he was about to leave, he found a black box sitting in the corner. It blended in with the pitch-black cave.

The Undying Crow did not have the habit of collecting things, so it was very obvious that this box had been in the cave for a long time.

Vincent walked in front of the box and checked it thoroughly. After confirming that there were no signs of danger, he proceeded to open the box.

There was a Brown Beast Skin Scroll and a Memory Crystal inside the box.

The Brown Beast Skin Scroll gave off an extremely terrifying aura. It was obviously left by a powerful monster.

He picked up the Brown Beast Skin Scroll and opened it gently. His eyes suddenly turned white.

At the same time, the Memory Crystal in the box flashed and shattered. A wisp of white gas penetrated the Brown Beast Skin Scroll.

When Vincent regained his vision, he realized that he was in a different place. Birds were chirping and flowers were fragrant.

The sky was clear, and the sun was blazing. The grass was green and there were flowers scattered everywhere. Butterflies were fluttering around in the flowers. It was a peaceful scene.

“Hahahaha! A hundred years! A hundred years! Finally, someone came into this illusion!”

Vincent heard an excited voice coming in all directions. It sounded like it was coming from an old person.

Vincent was shocked after hearing a voice coming from nowhere. He looked around warily to find the source of the voice. However, he failed.

“Little guy, stop looking. The illusion is me. I am the illusion.”

The voice sounded joyful.

Vincent did not speak, nor did he move. He just stood there quietly.

He had no idea where he was. He was also uncertain whether the person that was trying to speak to him was good or evil. If Vincent spoke or acted rashly, it would only make the situation even more complicated.

“Little guy, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. I just want to find a successor.”

The voice could tell what Vincent was thinking. Although the voice sounded genuine and seemed to be full of goodwill, Vincent did not let his guard down.

The voice did not stay on the issue for long.

“Nevertheless, I would still like to welcome you to the Utopia Fantasy Land. This at least proves that you have enough strength. As long as you pass my test, you will be able to obtain what I have learned in my life,” said the voice.

“Little guy, are you ready?” asked the voice.

Before Vincent could even react, the ground started to shake violently. The ground in front of him rippled like water. Suddenly, a tall silver-white five-story tower slowly rose from the ground.

Long stone steps appeared in front of Vincent’s feet. It led to the door of the tower.

“The Will Stone Stairs has 365 steps. Each step is twice the previous step. The pressure will increase with every step. Pass the Will Stone Stairs and you can accept the official test!” explained the voice.

“Of course, if you are a coward, then please let me know. It is also good for you to stay here and talk to me.”

There was silence after that. The voice had stopped speaking. The entire illusion fell silent.

Vincent just stood there quietly. He looked at the Will Stone Stairs in front of him.

Although he could tell that the voice sounded genuine, he still could not let his guard down.

However, it was also impossible for him to stay.

After some deliberation, Vincent gritted his teeth and took the first step.
