Vespera's eyes gradually filled with despair.
She had definitely seen the smile on Aiden's face, but John only had five seconds before he was knocked down by the Flame Demon Oslu.
Even if Aiden had some way to turn the situation around, it was probably too late by now.
Vespera felt a little regret. She wished she hadn't entered the Abyss for this adventure.
"Is everything going to end like this?" Vespera slowly closed her eyes.
At that moment, a loud thunderclap suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
The deafening sound made Vespera's eyes snap open again.
She looked in shock in the direction of the Flame Demon Oslu. A terrifying lightning element had quickly surrounded Oslu, who had only 10% health left.
"Boom boom boom!"
The thunder kept rolling, and the bright lightning pierced through the darkness of the Abyss.
Aiden's smile became even more obvious. He watched the Flame Demon Oslu's health drop quickly and started to get excited.
Demon's Domain was a Starlight Rank skill, but against a powerful demon like the Flame Demon Oslu, who had high resistance, it was nothing compared to the Diamond Rank Thunder's Wrath.
[Thunder's Wrath: Diamond Rank. Summons terrifying lightning elements to attack all targets in a large area. Everyone except the caster takes heavy lightning damage. This damage is a special type of lightning damage, which can't be blocked by basic magic resistance.
It also has a chance to deal true damage, directly reducing the target's health and causing triple lightning critical hits. The skill has a large attack range, is an area-of-effect attack, deals high damage, and uses a lot of mana.]
"Special lightning damage, which can't be blocked by basic magic resistance. That's what will kill you. You're too stupid."
Aiden said coldly. He watched the ugly face of the Flame Demon Oslu, which was now filled with fear. The demon was crying out in pain and trying to run away.
"Why? You said it would take ten seconds!"
"You stupid human, you tricked me!"
"Aaaaaa! I won't accept this! Die! Die!"
The Flame Demon Oslu's eyes turned blood red with hatred and anger. He suddenly spat out a large amount of black blood and started chanting some ancient words.
Vespera, who was lying at Aiden's feet, suddenly turned pale and shouted, "No good! It's a demon curse!"
Before she finished speaking, a black light shot out from the blood the Flame Demon Oslu had spat out. It exploded with a powerful force, knocking the three of them unconscious.
That black light almost reached Aiden in the blink of an eye.
Aiden's heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked at his body.
There was no sign of anything wrong.
He checked his log.
[You have been cursed by the Flame Demon Oslu's dying curse.]
[Demon's Curse: Formed from the hatred and anger of the Abyss demon viscount before death. The cursed person will become a lighthouse, attracting the hatred of all demons within 10 km once they enter the Abyss.]
At that moment, the massive body of the Flame Demon Oslu crashed to the ground, sending up a cloud of black mist.
[Killed the Abyss Demon Boss Oslu, Experience +200,000]
......
[Killed the Abyss Demon Boss Oslu, Experience +200,000,000]
[Obtained Epic Demon's Heart x1000]
[Obtained Equipment: The Abyss Flame Demon Staff (Damaged, Legendary Rank), The Abyss Flame Demon Cloak (Epic)]
......
[You have killed the National-Level Red-Name Boss the Abyss Demon Oslu, Earned 500 Glory Points, Received a Middle-Rank Medal]
[Medals and Glory Points must be claimed at the Reclasser Association Headquarters]
How much?
Two hundred million experience points!
Aiden's pupils slightly widened.
Sure enough, as long as you killed a strong boss, especially in a level-up fight, it could trigger a 1000x bonus.
But Aiden's experience was already high. His surprise only lasted a moment before he turned his attention elsewhere.
"Only a thousand Epic Demon's Hearts? No other drops at all?"
Aiden was confused.
Iron Dragon dropped a lot of materials, like hearts, wings, and other parts.
But the higher-level Abyss demons only dropped Demon's Hearts.
[Demon's Heart: Epic Tier, Top Material, only obtainable by killing an Epic-level Abyss Demon. It's a material that all high-tier Reclassers dream of. It increases the chance of upgrading your class when you reclass.
Plus, it's widely used in forging, alchemy, and various magic arrays. It's incredibly valuable and is something every alchemist and blacksmith would give up everything for.]
Aiden's eyes suddenly widened.
Demon's Heart was connected to upgrading your class?
He was currently a Magic Apprentice, one of the lowest classes.
Without the 1000x bonus system, he wouldn't have been able to level up at all.
Kael, that arrogant guy, had his confidence because of the Dragonlight Guild and because he awakened as an Epic Paladin.
"Even if it's just the Demon's Heart, it's way more important than the stuff Iron Dragon drops!"
Aiden exhaled slowly.
One Demon's Heart could increase the chance of class upgrade. What about ten?
One hundred?
One thousand?
Even if one thousand wasn't enough, once he got stronger, he could go back into the Abyss again, kill more noble demons, and get more Demon's Hearts.
As long as he had the 1000x bonus system and some time to grow, it wouldn't be a problem to get Epic, Legendary, or even Mythic-level Demon's Hearts.
"If I could use it forever, a thousand... no, ten thousand Mythic-level Demon's Hearts, how high could my class rank go?"
"Beyond Mythic?"
The most basic, lowest class is Iron Rank, then Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Starlight, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
Aiden's eyes lit up.
Kael had always been proud because he was a Paladin.
If Aiden's class rank could go up to Epic, or even Legendary, he could completely crush Kael in every way.
When that happens, Kael's face will definitely be super interesting.
Oh, right, and the school's top girl, Elyra, I wonder if she'll still act so high and mighty.
Other than the 1,000 Epic Demon's Hearts, which were super rare, there were also two pieces of gear.
[The Abyss Flame Demon Staff (Damaged, Not Usable, Can Be Repaired and Equipped): Legendary Tier Staff, made from the rib of the Demon Duke Ethan. It got broken during a battle between demons and blood vampires. Then Ethan gave it to the Flame Demon Oslu.]
[The Abyss Flame Demon Cloak: Epic Tier, Defense +2000, Agility +2000, Max HP +20%, Fire and Shadow Magic Resistance +50%, Additional Physical Defense +30%, Can Use Magic to Fly for a Short Time.]
Without hesitation, Aiden immediately put on the Abyss Flame Demon Cloak.
Even if the stats of this Epic gear were exactly what he needed- defense and agility- just the fact that it let him fly by using magic was something he really needed right now!
It was a little sad that the Abyss Flame Demon Staff was broken, and needed to be repaired before it could be used.
But still, it was a Legendary Rank item. Once it was fixed, it would be super strong!
Legendary Rank gear was rare even in the Sovereign City. Few Reclassers had it.
Right now, Aiden still had the Iron Dragon's Magic Staff, and he could still use it for a while.
"Great haul!" Aiden slowly smiled.
Sure enough, risk and reward always go together. If he had backed out just now, he wouldn't have gotten those 1,000 Demon's Hearts, the Legendary staff, or the Epic cloak.
After checking all the loot, Aiden quickly walked over to where Vespera and the others were.
First, he used a magic potion to get his body ready for battle. Then he cast a Light Healing Spell.
Not long after, Vespera, Vivi, and the Troll Warrior John slowly opened their eyes.
Vespera looked at her body first, and when she saw she was still alive, she looked toward the huge body of the Flame Demon Oslu and stared at Aiden in shock.
"Dead? He... he was killed by you?"
Before Aiden could say anything, Vivi, who had just woken up, suddenly slapped her own face.
"Damn, that hurts. Not a dream? I really survived?"
"Bad news, we need to leave fast!" Vespera suddenly realized something, and her face turned pale with fear.
