Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 20
Advertisement
Vincent's eyes narrowed. He tightened the psionic battle saber in his hand and quietly hid behind a huge rock.
Not long after, a calf-sized rat that was covered in blood-red crawled out.
"Vampire Rat!"
Vincent was delighted.
The vampire rat had just advanced to a beginner-level psionic ability user, so it was a good opportunity to practice.
The vampire rat was a beginner-level monster. It was fast, had strong defense, and had high attack power. It was a monster with a bit of intelligence among beginner-level monsters.
Once bitten by it, it would not let go until its blood was drained.
Moreover, once it sensed that its opponent could not resist, it would turn around and run without any hesitation.
This vampire rat was obviously out to hunt for food, and its actions were very cautious.
Vincent also adjusted his breathing. He did not expose himself, and planned to launch a sneak attack on it.
If it was before, Vincent would not have dared to attack a monster like the vampire rat no matter what.
But now, it was different. It had become a beginner-level superpowered person and had the advantage of a sneak attack.
As long as he was careful, killing it wouldn't be a big problem.
Time passed by minute by minute. Half an hour later, the vampire rat arrived five meters away from Vincent.
Vincent suddenly attacked, starting with the collapsing mountain strike.
Whoosh!
"Squeak Squeak!"
The vampire rat sensed the danger the moment Vincent attacked, so it directly dodged.
Crash!
The collapsing mountain hit the bushes, causing branches and leaves to fly everywhere.
The vampire rat turned to look at Vincent, his pitch-black eyes filled with fury.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The vampire rat suddenly charged at Vincent like a speeding car.
Vincent did not think that he could kill the vampire rat with just one strike.
Therefore, he did not panic in the face of the vampire rat's attack.
The psionic battle saber was raised horizontally and blocked in front of him.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere!
The vampire rat's teeth collided with the psionic battle saber, emitting a metallic clang.
Vincent only felt his arm go numb, and he turned around to deflect the force.
At the same time, the psionic battle saber was raised, and its target was the vampire rat's front claws.

The vampire rat did not Dodge. It raised its claws and clawed at the psionic battle saber.
Clang!
Vincent's attack was blocked and he retreated.
The Man and the Beast faced each other across space, both looking for the other's weakness.
Vincent's arm was somewhat numb. He thought to himself, what a strong strength.
The vampire rat looked at Vincent with a gaze that gradually became crazy.
"Are you using me as food?"
Vincent was both angry and amused.
He was actually treated as food by the vampire rat.
This meant that in the vampire rat's opinion, Vincent was inferior to it.
Although this was the truth, it made Vincent very unhappy.
With a slash, the psionic battle saber suddenly stabbed towards the vampire rat.
The vampire rat was instantly furious. It was actually attacked by a weak human first.
Its two front claws exerted force, and it actually jumped up directly, crashing towards the psionic battle saber like a cannonball.
From the exchange just now, it could be seen that the psionic battle saber was very difficult to deal damage to the vampire rat.
However, Vincent did not change the way he attacked. Instead, he used even more strength.
Sizzle!
The psionic battle saber slashed onto the vampire rat's body.
"Inferno!"
Vincent suddenly activated his psionic ability.
A black flame suddenly spurted out from the blade, directly igniting the vampire rat.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The vampire rat was extremely terrified. It finally realized that it had miscalculated the strength of the human in front of it.
In the blink of an eye, the vampire rat was burned to death by the purgatory fire.
Just like before, not even ashes were left behind.
"It's a beast after all. Even if it has intelligence, it can't change its nature."
Vincent grinned and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The only regret was that after using purgatory fire, the vampire rat was burned to the point that not a single hair was left.
Otherwise, just the vampire rat's crystals could be sold for tens of thousands of psi coins.
Although the battle time was very short, Vincent's physical strength could not keep up.
Most importantly, his arms were sore, Numb, and swollen.
The Vampire Rat's defense was really too strong.

It was stronger than all the Monsters Vincent had encountered in the past.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a low-level monster, vampire rat. You have obtained an upgrade pill."
"Do you wish to take it?"
"Yes."
"Ding! You have successfully taken an upgrade pill. Your psionic power limit has increased by 2 points."
After more than half an hour, Vincent finally felt that his arm had recovered a little. He took out the pill that Chris had given him and took one.
Looking at the psionic battle blade that had cracked from the vampire rat's attack, his heart ached a little.
He stood up and continued to explore, searching for monsters.
Just like that, Vincent walked and killed all the way until the Moon Hung High in the sky. Only then did he stop.
Although it had only been a few hours since he had come out, Vincent had gained a lot.
His combat experience had improved greatly, and his mastery of the collapsing mountain had reached 100% .
Even his control of the Inferno fire had become much stronger.
Of course, there were naturally dangers when there were rewards.
Even though this was only the wilderness and was less than 800 meters away from BIC town.
The monsters were abnormally powerful.
The monsters that were able to survive in the vicinity of the supply point had rich battle experience with humans.
For example, the low-level monster ice snake that they had just encountered.
Not only did it know how to spit ice balls, it was also fast. Wherever it passed, it would form a thin layer of frost, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.
It actually knew how to use its own characteristics to encircle Vincent, thus reducing Vincent's speed and then spitting ice balls from afar.
Simply relying on the collapsing mountain strike would not be able to hurt it at all.
Vincent did not want to burn the ice snake until there was not even ash left.
The Hellfire Arrow could not even graze the side.
In the end, there was no other way. Vincent turned the hellfire into a thread and spread it everywhere he could see. Only then did he temporarily restrain it.
Why did he say temporarily?
Because he only restrained the tail of the frost snake. Seeing that it could not beat Vincent, it actually severed its tail and escaped.
Vincent felt a wave of regret.
However, this had also brought Vincent a lot of experience.
It was far from enough to rely on the destructive power of purgatory fire to fight.
The most important thing was the mastery of psionic ability.
This also allowed him to see the most direct effect of psionic ability control in battle.
Vincent sat under a tree to rest. While he recovered his strength, he was also applying medicine on his wound.
Although his injuries were not serious, there was still the smell of blood. The monsters were most active at night.
If he did not deal with it in time, he might attract some strange monsters.
At that time, if he could not fight at his peak, his life and death would be unknown.
This was his first night in the wilderness, and it felt very strange.
The wilderness at night was very different from the day.
Perhaps it was because of the appearance of the black hole, but the Wild at night was very depressing.
It made people very uneasy.
Vincent knew very well that he had to adapt to this situation as soon as possible.
When he graduated, there would be more and more such situations in the future.
I have to say, the medicine that Chris gave to Vincent was really effective.
After applying it, the wound actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made Vincent even more grateful to Chris.
If it weren't for her medicine, Vincent might have returned to BIC town long ago.
Just as he was about to eat something and rest, his expression suddenly changed.
A long period of concentration and battle had made him extremely sensitive to the wind and grass around him, and he had a very intuitive sense of danger.
Boom!
Almost at the instant Vincent dodged, a scarlet tongue covered with barbs shot out from the ground.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
