Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just now, Owen was using the water elemental spear to attack from the outside.

Inside the vine cage, Su Chen and Owen had the same idea. The moment the vine disappeared, he would attack Owen. Owen’s biggest trump card should have already been used.

However, Su Chen was not sure if Owen still had other tricks up his sleeve. Therefore, in order to be safe, he had to make Owen lose the ability to fight in a short period of time. Therefore, the moment the vine disappeared, Su Chen threw a lightning ball in Owen’s direction. Then he saw that Owen was holding a water spear.

He quickly pulled Ian to the side. At this time, the ice spear brushed past Su Chen’s scalp, brushing past the hair on the back of Su Chen’s neck. If he was a second late, the ice spear would have hit his upper body, it made him have serious killing intent toward Owen for the first time. Then, he threw another lightning ball in his direction.

When the first lightning ball hit Owen’s water shield, it stirred up a large amount of lightning.

Although Owen was not directly hit by the Lightning Ball, the water shield could not completely defend against the attack of the Lightning Ball. The spiritual power of the shield was quickly consumed, and the large amount of lightning that was stirred up still affected Owen’s body, the paralyzing effect caused Owen to be unable to move in an instant.

Just as he was stunned, he saw the second lightning ball flying towards him at high speed in the air. He wanted to dodge, but he was unable to control his body. He could only watch as the second lightning ball broke through the water shield and smash into his body, knocking him to the ground in an instant.

Owen’s body was struck by the strong electric shock. His entire body was charred black. His hair stood up one by one. He was still breathing weakly and puffing out waves of black smoke. This was all thanks to the magic talisman on his body, otherwise, he would have gone to meet his maker long ago with Su Chen’s lightning ball combo.

This was the first time Owen felt the fear of death. He moved his already hoarse throat and let out a weak voice. He begged Su Chen,

“Mayor, please don’t kill me. I’ll hand over all the resources of the castle in exchange for my life.”

The third lightning ball had already condensed in Su Chen’s hand and he was slowly walking toward him. There was a hint of impatience in his expression.

“What have you been doing? One thought of heaven and one thought of hell. Since you have chosen hell, then I’ll fulfill your wish.”

“Su Chen, you can’t kill me, you can’t kill me! My uncle is a teacher of the Academy of Magic in Ferol City! If he finds out that I’ve been killed by you, he definitely won’t spare you…”

Su Chen didn’t want to listen to Owen’s nonsense anymore. The lightning ball in his hand pressed on Owen’s head.

After a series of spasms, Owen laid still.

At this time, Captain Ian, who was still in a state of shock, slowly regained his senses.

He originally thought that he had come out to protect the mayor. However, he had saved him many times during this day, causing him to feel extremely ashamed.

Su Chen sat down on the ground and panted heavily. The intense battle caused him to feel a sense of exhaustion.

His mind went blank and he wanted to have a good sleep. Su Chen was currently in a weak state. He used his mind to enter the Knight Temple and summoned the remaining uninjured Glimmer Knights.

‘First, subdue all the guards of this castle and then think about other things,’ Su Chen thought.

“Captain Ian, can you still move? Help me take these knights and subdue all the guards of the castle.”

Su Chen left a few twilight knights to protect him. The rest of the knights were instructed to follow Ian.

Ian was immersed in disappointment and felt that he was not of much help. Hearing Su Chen’s words, he immediately became excited.

Having found the feeling that he was needed, he was very happy. He quickly nodded and led the knights to clean up the remaining resistance members.

Meanwhile, Su Chen randomly found an empty room and wanted to rest. A few Glimmer Knights stood guard at the door.

Just as Su Chen was lying on the soft bed and getting ready to sleep, the system notification that he had not heard for a long time rang in his head again.

[Congratulations on completing the main mission Great Lord’s path-1 — Eliminate the danger factor of the town and unify the town.]

[The mission reward will now be distributed]

Su Chen then remembered.

It turned out that he had another main mission.

He had been so busy these two days that he had forgotten about it. It seemed that he had completed one of the main missions by accident today.

He quickly checked the reward of this mission carefully.

[ Congratulations on obtaining the Rewa Omniscient Map]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Rewa Medical Building Blueprints × 1]

[ Congratulations on obtaining a reward: double the productivity of the territory’s farming industry, duration of one year ]

[ Congratulations on obtaining a reward: God Knight Training Skill]

[ congratulations on obtaining a reward: All Elemental Tier 1 Magic +1]

A long series of system notifications appeared in Su Chen’s mind. The rewards this time were really a pleasant surprise to Su Chen.

Not only were the rewards very generous, but they also included the improvement of one’s personal ability, the increase in the town’s production ability, and the increase in the town’s combat power.

If these rewards could be fully used, the town’s overall level would have a quantum leap. As expected of the rewards from the main storyline mission.

Su Chen hurriedly searched and found the next stage of the main storyline mission — upgrade the town to a level 1 city. When that time came, the system would unlock the mall. The specific rewards were still unknown.

After painstakingly improving his combat ability, it was not as fast as upgrading the territory and receiving the system’s reward to improve his ability. Su Chen had basically decided the direction of his future development.

The feeling that the system’s main mission gave him was that as long as he steadily expanded his territory, farming could also be very profitable! The stronger his territory became, the richer his rewards would be.

Su Chen excitedly looked at the rewards this time. The first thing he saw was [ All elemental tier 1 spells + 1] which increased his strength greatly.

He focused his attention and started to look at his skill tree. At this time, he found that all the Tier 1 spells of various factions had already been lit up.

The wood and lightning spells that had been lit up previously had a small dot beside the skill icon.

After careful exploration, he discovered that the skills that had been lit up could also be upgraded and strengthened. Each skill could be upgraded and strengthened five times, and each upgrade would strengthen 30% of the current skill’s power.

This 30% was accumulated continuously, so after the initial skill was strengthened five times, it would reach an astonishing 371% of its power!

When Su Chen thought of this, he was also a little surprised in his heart. He did not know if skill points were easy to obtain.

However, in the future, there would be a mall system in the upgraded small city, and there should be a lot of good items for sale there..
