### Chapter 8: First Kill of the Level 4 Boss!
Su Yu's mind was racing, but his actions were anything but slow. **Lightning Arrows** soared from the tip of his wand, while fireballs ignited from the magic scroll, transforming the surrounding **Hillside Sheep** into experience points. The ground was littered with the corpses of the **Hillside Sheep**, as they fell like ripe leeks.
With no other players around to witness his prowess, Su Yu felt free to unleash his full power. However, after more than ten minutes of relentless grinding and having dispatched over 400 **Hillside Sheep**, a peculiar sound suddenly sliced through the air.
Looking up, he spotted a golden goat, larger than the others, plummeting toward him from above.
**Hillside Sheep Leader (Excellent)**
HP: 800
It was a green boss!
The goat boss had just spawned not far from Su Yu, and his **Lightning Arrow** had struck it, inciting its wrath. The moment it was attacked, its eyes glowed with fury, and it activated the skill **Jump and Trample**, leaping high into the air to stomp down directly on Su Yu.
Caught off guard, Su Yu scrambled to dodge, but it was too late. As he barely managed to sidestep, the goat's hooves came crashing down where he had just stood.
**Boom!**
The ground trembled beneath him, sending shockwaves through the area.
**78!**
The seismic blast knocked Su Yu back, causing his health to plummet. With only 90 HP, he was now down to just 12 points—his life hanging by a thread. Fortunately, his rare-quality **New Magician's Robe** and **Cloth Boots** had fortified his defenses by an extra 20 points.
Had he not equipped those items, that blow could have been fatal.
"Phew, I'm lucky I didn't get killed in one hit," Su Yu muttered, relieved. "It would be so embarrassing to get taken out by a low-level monster!"
In **Evolution**, when players or monsters died in the wild, they wouldn't lose levels or equipment. However, death meant being forcibly logged off for half an hour, wasting precious game time.
The goat boss, unaware of Su Yu's thoughts, was an "excellent" quality boss and possessed more than just **Jump and Trample**.
"Waaaahhhh!"
The goat boss let out a call and activated the **Summon of Sheep** skill. Five bright lights flashed, and five **Hillside Sheep** materialized, charging directly at Su Yu.
Next, it unleashed its third skill, **Flock Crash**, sending its little sheep racing toward him with alarming speed.
But Su Yu remained calm. Despite having only one health point left, and knowing he could be killed by even a grazing touch from the goats, he felt prepared.
After all, he was no stranger to high-stakes encounters, having faced relentless onslaughts from formidable monsters before.
As the **Hillside Sheep** approached, Su Yu deftly dodged their clumsy charges. He took a moment to sip from a **Primary Wisdom Potion**, increasing his intelligence by 10 points.
With his left hand, he used the **Frost Arrow** scroll, while his right hand cast **Lightning Arrow**.
**60—**
**88—**
Two spells struck the goat boss, reducing its HP by 18% and slowing its movement speed by 20% due to the effects of **Frostbolt**. Additionally, the **Lightning Bolt** triggered a 40% chance of paralysis, momentarily freezing the goat boss in place.
Rather than continuing his assault on the goat boss, Su Yu shifted his focus to the flock of **little sheep**.
The young sheep were no match for their leader.
Su Yu stood firm, unleashing a barrage of spells.
**Lightning Arrow!**
**Fireball Technique!**
**70—**
**102—**
**71—**
The five sheep didn't stand a chance against his attacks, turning into streaks of white light as they were defeated.
With the small threats dispatched, Su Yu turned his full attention back to the goat boss. While skillfully avoiding its attacks, he unleashed his spells with precision.
The goat boss's health quickly dwindled below 50%. Realizing it was outmatched, it began to panic. Instead of charging at Su Yu, it attempted to flee.
But Su Yu wouldn't let the "cooked duck" escape. He pursued the goat boss, unleashing **Frostbolt** and **Lightning Bolt** with relentless efficiency.
**Lightning Bolt** had a rapid casting time of just 0.5 seconds, delivering devastating damage.
The goat boss barely managed to run a few steps before its HP fell below 20%. Knowing it wouldn't survive another hit, it abruptly turned around and used **Jump and Trample**, aiming to crush Su Yu beneath its hooves.
However, Su Yu was now fully alert and not easily fooled.
He anticipated the goat boss's landing and sidestepped with ease.
**Boom!**
The goat's hooves slammed down where Su Yu had just stood, creating another seismic wave that rattled the ground.
But Su Yu was unharmed, standing clear of the danger zone. He quickly retaliated with another **Lightning Bolt** and tossed a **Fireball** magic scroll at the fleeing goat.
**85—**
**63—**
With that final barrage, the goat boss's HP hit zero, and it crumpled to the ground.
**"Ding! You killed the [Hillside Sheep Leader (Excellent) lv4] and gained 80 experience points."**
After taking down so many goats, Su Yu's experience gauge was nearly full. This final kill pushed him over the edge, and he leveled up to level 3!
A brilliant golden light enveloped him as he celebrated his success.
With his new level, Su Yu's spell power soared to 28 points.
And with the upgrade, he could finally wield the **Crescent Wand lv3** obtained from the **Black Boar Leader**!
**Crescent Wand lv3 (Rare)**
- Spell Power: 16
- Intelligence +5
- Magic Recovery Speed +5
The **Crescent Wand** replaced his old **New Wand**, boosting his spell power to an impressive 34 points!
"I bet even a level 10 mage wouldn't match my output!" Su Yu thought, excitement coursing through him.
Given his exceptional **Lightning Arrow** and the incredible power he now wielded, other mage players would struggle to compete, even at level 20.
This was the extraordinary result of legendary talent and boundless resources!
