[ Hellfire (Passive) ]

While using attack-type magic, there is a 10% chance for Hellfire to enhance the spell, adding 1,000% Magic Damage and applying Soul Corrosion, which deals 2,000 fixed damage over 30 seconds.

While using the staff as a Bo Staff, there is a 10% chance for Hellfire to erupt, dealing 500% explosion damage in a 10-meter radius and applying Soul Corrosion.

"Do I even have any magician clothes?" Alan muttered as he opened his inventory.

After searching for a moment, he found only a single piece of equipment.

[ Frostlight Orc Shaman Gloves ]

Intelligence +50

Magic Damage +10%

"Better than nothing, I guess," Alan muttered as he put on the leather gloves.

"Okay… now let's start."

Alan pointed his staff downward.

"Explosive Fireball."

A massive, swirling red fireball formed at the tip of his staff. He aimed it toward the area where the monsters were clustered and released it.

BOOOOM!

The fireball crashed into the ground and exploded violently, instantly wiping out over half of their HP.

[ Explosive Fireball spell created ]

"Not bad," Alan nodded in satisfaction after seeing such damage against level 190+ monsters.

"Awooooo—!"

The Blood Wolves and Blood Bats finally noticed him and rushed forward.

"Haste."

Alan cast Haste on himself, his movement speed increasing sharply as he began chaining spells one after another.

Thanks to Mumud's Magic, which allowed him to freely mold mana, Alan didn't need rigid spell structures anymore. The moment a spell formed in his mind, mana naturally responded—

weaving itself, shaping spell after spell almost instinctively.

"This is the best magic class for me," Alan smiled. In just three minutes, he had wiped out all the familiars with ease.

[ Level: 97 ]

[ Stat Points Available: 1,824 ]

Thanks to the massive level gap, he leveled up at an absurd speed—reaching level 97 after wiping out over thirty vampire familiars that were level 190+.

"Now… how should I distribute my stat points?" Alan muttered as he stared at the enormous number.

"Hm. I'll go all in on Intelligence for now."

He wasn't lacking in other stats thanks to his titles and equipment, so there was no reason to hesitate. Alan dumped every single point into Intelligence.

[ Intelligence: 2,989 ]

[ Congratulations! Your Intelligence has reached 2,000. ]

[ A new Legendary spell of Mumud has become available. ]

Upon impact, the spear explodes, releasing Frozen Mist in a 10-meter radius.

Chanting time : 20 seconds

Mana Consumption: 2,500

Cooldown: 1 minute

"I got another legendary spell after my Intelligence reached 2,000…" Alan murmured thoughtfully.

"So that means every 1,000 Intelligence, I'll unlock another legendary spell."

Alan nodded to himself, then stepped into the first vampire building.

Inside, rows upon rows of coffins lined the walls. Vampires slept silently within them.

[ A sleeping vampire smells blood. ]

[ Vampires are awakening… ]

"What is this smell…?"

"I smell blood."

"A human is here?"

"Hahahaha! Food walked in on its own!"

In an instant, more than ten coffins burst open. Pale figures rose from within, crimson eyes locking onto Alan as the vampires lunged toward him.

Alan didn't panic.

Instead, he calmly raised his staff.

"Perfect timing," he muttered.

"Let's test my new spell."

The temperature in the room dropped sharply as mana gathered at the tip of his staff.

"Frozen Mist Spear."

A spear of condensed ice and mist formed instantly, then shot forward like a comet.

BOOM—!

The spear pierced through the leading vampire, instantly freezing it solid before exploding. Icy mist flooded the hall, engulfing the remaining vampires.

Crack—crack—!

Their movements slowed to a crawl as frost crept over their bodies.

"Now… shatter."

Alan followed up with a barrage of magic, the frozen vampires taking double damage as their bodies shattered into ice and dust.

[ You have defeated a Vampire. ]

[ Experience acquired. ]

[ Soul Essence acquired]

Alan looked at the floating Soul Essence. Out of the ten vampires he had killed, only one had dropped it.

"I guess by the time I wipe out the entire city, I should be able to collect around a hundred of these," Alan muttered with a satisfied smile as he continued clearing the building.

An hour later, every structure in the city had been cleared—

except the main building, where the boss resided.

[ Level: 154 ]

[ Stat Points: 1,083 ]

Once again, Alan poured all his stat points into Intelligence.
