“All right, enough playing around. Let’s end this battle already.”

Takara said in a loud, clear, and confident tone.

The beast she’s facing is the Nemean Lion, the tenth Mini-boss in the Novice stage.

What it lacks in magical prowess, it makes up for in its extremely sturdy fur, immense strength, and fast speed.

It let out a loud and deafening roar.

It bared its fangs at Takara, then ran at a very fast speed before pouncing with its mouth open, with the intent to kill.

Takara immediately chanted a poison spell, aimed for the lion’s open mouth, then she activated the accuracy boost and speed boost she bought from the system with her unlimited gems.

 Then she activated the special poison shadow clone skill she also bought from the system.

She managed to switch places with one of the special poison shadow clones before the Nemean lion bit nothing but poisonous air in the space where she used to stand.

After the lion bit one of the shadow clones, it dissipated into thin air, leaving behind poisonous smoke that made the lion retch and struggle to stay up on its four legs, before the poison eventually overpowered the Nemean Lion, and made it lie down on the ground.

The lion let out a pained and enraged roar, but it will be the last roar that came out of its mouth, as its body started twitching and shaking uncontrollably while foaming at the mouth.

“You roar too much for a lion who’s about to die. Time to put you out of your misery.”

Takara said while approaching the lion, her hands crackling with magical power.

She then faced the lion, which is in its death throes, and started to chant.

 “Oh, Apollo, god of the sun, enchant my power so as to end this lion’s suffering.”

After she finished the incantation, her hands unleashed a red-hot fire that crackled and burned the lion to ashes.

Then her spell book, which floated in the air on its own accord, and was glowing bright red, closed itself and fell back down to the ground in front of Takara with a thud.

A golden fur cloak glimmered on the ground before her.

She picked it up and stashed it in her inventory.

She looked at the cloak’s description on the system.

“Nemean Lion Fur Cloak

“Durability: 45

Strength: 85

Speed: 86

Defense: 96”

She stashed the fur cloak into her inventory.

She might as well sell it later since it is more suitable for Assassin, Warrior, and Tank class players.

Then she checked the notifications that popped out in her system.

“You successfully finished the main quest. Clear all the sub-quests on this floor first before proceeding to the next.”

A scroll popped up right in front of her.

“You leveled up - Level 11

You leveled up - Level 12

You leveled up – Level 13

You leveled up – Level 14

You leveled up – level 15 “

“Your mastery of the active system skill shadow clone has gone up to fifteen percent. Poison variant clones unlocked. Poison variant level- level 15.”

“Your mastery of the passive system skill accuracy boost has risen by 15 percent. “

“Your mastery of the passive system skill speed boost has risen by 15 percent.”

“Your superior performance in the mini-boss battle landed you in the tenth rank in the top fifteen ranking for Novices.”

Then she clicked on the close button of the scroll and sat down on the grassy hillside to do some self-reflection.

She couldn’t believe it is that easy to defeat the Nemean Lion.

She spent a whole day practicing and getting used to doing the chants in the new spell book that Noctis bought for her.

She couldn’t at first believe the difference between the old spell book she now discarded, and the new spell book she currently carries around.

The old spell book was cumbersome to carry around and took a while for the spells to take effect.

The only spells available are spells for novices.

While the new one Noctis bought for her is lightweight, has super-advanced spells, floats in the air when she’s in battle, and automatically makes spells take effect right after the battle.

The spells are compilations of ancient incantations said to be written by one of the prominent Game Administrators.

She finished her preparation before battling the Nemean Lion by permanently buying the three skills from the system store, then trained until the system skills mastery reached fourteen percent.

She is surprised that just by using the new spell-book, and trying out the high-quality potions, etc. that Zero bought for her, her status points jumped up by quite a lot.

Her custom-made garments also helped raise her status points.

"Player Name: Takara Erich

Age: 18

Race: Human

Mana: 94.56

Strength: 89. 49

Agility: 79.99

Health:99.99

Knowledge:100 %

Class: Mage

Rank: Novice (Nobility)

Money: Error. Infinity"

He even insisted that she change into the custom-made garments he commissioned from an elite clothmaker at the VIP section.

 She remembered that Zero paid the elite clothmaker extra money earlier so he could go inside the dressing room with her, watch her undress even her undergarments, and see her naked body inside before she put on the body-hugging garments, he paid a lot for her.

She felt shy at first, then she picked up the confidence, and undressed right in front of Zero, with her pussy dripping wet at the fact that Zero is watching her undress even her undergarment, and dress up in the clothes he bought for her.

Then she looked at herself in the mirror after she finished dressing up.

She’s dressed in a body-hugging crop top, above-the-leg shorts, and traveling sandals that showed off most of her sexy yet chubby and fair-skinned body, with her shorts exposing her thick thighs.

“I don’t think I’m confident enough to wear this” she started to complain before Zero’s remarks cut her off mid-sentence.

“Whether you like it or not, get used to it. The items used to create these clothes aren’t easy to

find. This attire helps you replenish your MP from nature.”

“Wait what? I didn’t know it’s possible to replenish MP without an MP potion.”

Zero just looked at her, his eyes hinting at a warm smile.

Takara then snapped back to reality after recalling the events that just happened.

So, this is how elites with the Nobility Badge fight.

They prepare first before they engage in battle, and play around first with their opponent before going all out.

Then she stood up, brushed her shorts, and went off to finish the sub-quests on the 10^th floor of the Novice Stage.
