Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"Damn it, a timed mission!"

"Lao Hu, put on your gear, put on your gear. How can you sleep in the game? How can you sleep so easily at your age?"

"Form the team, form the team, someone's launching a surprise attack!"

"Who the hell dares to mess with our Captain Jonathan? Brothers, for our instructor's honor!"

"Stop talking crap, someone log off and go to the group, have the admin ping everyone. Those in Titan Town, get up quickly and do the mission."

"Exciting! I've just entered the game a few days ago, and we're already playing a team mission?"

"Form a team, get a strong assault mage, add a priest, no warriors, quickly form the team!"

"Are you looking down on warriors?"

The camp was in a state of chaos.

But under the organization of the rangers, they quickly advanced toward the temporary base.

Of course, they moved in batches.

The strongest rangers, confident in their abilities, mounted their fast horses and galloped towards the temporary base.

But some moved even faster.

Kael could boldly claim that in this forested area, with his magic silk thread, he was practically a half-Transcendent Rank.

The strength and speed of the magic silk thread depended on Kael's intelligence attribute.

In his current state, with his intelligence attribute maximized, it undoubtedly surpassed that of ordinary novices.

The power of his exclusive skill was fully exhibited. The Golden Tree was the best anchor. As the thread pulled, Kael's speed through the forest nearly reached the speed of sound.

His intelligence attribute was so extreme that his perception couldn't keep up, giving him a sense of time acceleration.

Luckily, this only affected movement. In normal combat, his perception was still sufficient.

However, compared to Kael's lightning speed, Old White, who was always by Kael's side, was even more terrifying.

The old butler, clad in a suit and tailcoat, matched Kael's rapid pace in the forest with sheer leg power, even occasionally surpassing him.

Can you imagine an old butler in a suit and tailcoat moving at such speeds without tearing his coattails?

Kael, at least, was thoroughly amazed.

The two rapidly advancing figures soon heard the sounds of battle from the direction of the temporary base.

In the dim moonlight, Jonathan's short gun swung like firecrackers, continuously unleashing a series of rapid strikes.

Players' faces lit up with excited smiles. The visceral combat sent their adrenaline surging.

Unfortunately, most of the time, they were just scratchers, providing distractions and protection for Jonathan.

In some cases, Jonathan even had to fall back to defend them.

"Demacia!"

"Take this punch from your dad!"

"Blood will flow like a river!"

"Ah, I died!"

"Hold the line, don't let that guy get close. If the newbies can't handle it, use the mage's hand to yank its balls."

"Heh heh, got a dumb one—" The newbie player laughed excitedly, only to have his head crushed by an enraged Shadow Wolf Guard.

But it was worth it. The mage's hand had successfully hit. In the moment that the Shadow Wolf Guard fought Jonathan, it seized an opening.

The pain made the Shadow Wolf Guard turn to attack him.

But as it killed him, Jonathan grasped the opportunity, grabbed its neck, and twisted it, snapping it instantly.

The frenzied wolf pack grew even more agitated with the sudden appearance of Jonathan and a group of novice mages.

Especially Nasilia, who had gained a lot of experience points and skill points.

Though not adept at combat, Nasilia was a very clever girl.

She occasionally practiced archery at a club offline and had decent aim, so she mostly stayed out of close combat, moving around the periphery.

She would use Luxius' Spell Grasp to throw short guns and rocks, not to injure the Shadow Wolves, but just to harass them, preventing them from surrounding Jonathan.

Now, two Two-headed Shadow Wolves, under the Wolf King's control, were hunting her.

Nasilia slyly used her wits with Luxius' Spell Grasp.

She didn't release it to attack like a misplaced turkey leg, but rather attached it to her back like spider legs, gripping tree trunks, moving between the Golden Trees.

She seemed to be casting Spider Climb.

The powerful magic hand wrist allowed her to climb far faster than the Shadow Wolves, adjusting her angles at will.

This was the innate advantage of Humans and why Kael chose this mage development path.

It allowed a player to gain good mobility and warrior-like attack early on with minimal skill points and simple training.

In guilds with their own territories, such a skill development system met the early-to-mid-term skill cultivation needs.

It ensured that mages had strong combat power early on and could steadily improve later. Many players chose this growth path.

After all, later on, exclusive skills could be used to make up for gaps, which was very friendly to free-to-play players.

But this was the end. Against absolute power, fancy skills wouldn't last long.

Out of magic, Nasilia, standing on a tree trunk, watched Luxius' Spell Grasp fade away as it drained her energy bar.

Oh no, she couldn't run anymore. It was over!

Seeing her situation change from being chased by two wolves to being surrounded by five, Nasilia wondered how to ensure her death wasn't too painful.

This game had severe pain penalties for death...

Luckily, players were used to pain after years of virtual gaming. Otherwise, suddenly increasing pain intensity would have led to many complaints.

Even so, Nasilia still hated pain.

As the fight seemed about to erupt, a solid line in the night connected to the tree next to her.

A Shadow Wolf leapt at it but was split in mid-air by a sharp weapon.

Nasilia only saw the moonlight reflect silver-white light on the weapon, like a warped mirror.

Then the Shadow Wolves turned from her to a corner in the forest, lunging toward it.

They emitted twisted shadows, seeming to step on some platform mid-air, jumping rapidly to a spot in the forest, spewing filthy black flames.

But quicker than their flames was a shadow darting through the forest.

The second Shadow Wolf fell from the air without a sound.

Continuous mournful howls followed. The dim forest blocked moonlight, and dozens of shadows darted between the Golden Trees, shrieking like birds.

Calm returned, and Nasilia noticed it wasn't bird calls...

The sky cleared of clouds blocking the moonlight, casting a soft glow on the forest, reflecting the cold moon blades.

Metal moon blades spun wildly in the forest, the bird-like cries coming from their slicing through the air.

Dim magic threads formed dense webs in the air. Kael, standing at the web's center, was backlit by the cold moonlight, like draped in a veil.

She thought she heard him chuckle.
