Second World Chapter 278

"It's finally over," said one of the subordinates accompanying Scarface.
Scarface, on the other hand, was frowning. The subordinates saw his expression and asked, "what's wrong?"
"The corpses…," Scarface said with an unsure tone.
The subordinates looked at the mount of corpses in front of the receding dust cloud. He sighed and said, "it can't be helped. Who would have thought the guy to be that strong? It was good enough that we have limited our loss to a small portion of our force. Alternately, if we don't…"
"No!" Scarface cut him mid-sentence. "The corpses do not disappear, the battle is not over!"
At that moment, Several bolts of light shot out from the cloud of dust, six small ones and one large one. The small ones traveled in curved paths as they sought after the closest players. The unsuspecting players did not have time to react and were hit by the bolts, receiving damages ranged from 100 to 130.
The large one traveled in a straight path and headed right at Scarface. Scarface managed to react in time as he put on a Magic Shield in front of him. Still, even when he defended using the Magic Shield, he still suffered 112 damage.
"Mana bullet?" Scarface uttered as he recognized the spell that hit his shield, "impossible! The power is so high that it can still give me so much damage after being blocked by my Magic Shield? Who?!"
Answering him was a shadow that dashed out of the cloud of dust at a high speed. It went straight in Scarface's direction. Everyone who saw the face of the shadow felt like they had seen a ghost.
"Not possible! How is he not dead after being hit by such a powerful spell?!" One of the guild players, who was standing not far from there exclaimed.
The shadow was none other than Jack. Scarface stood a distance away, Jack could not reach his position in a short time. The other players awoken from their stupor and immediately put themselves between Jack and Scarface. Especially Scarface's subordinates, they stood in front of him as they urged Scarface to return to the small hill.
Jack used Charge to barge through the players on his way, but the 8 meters range of Charge was not enough to cover the distance to Scarface. One of Scarface's subordinates who was a Knight went ahead to stop Jack.

"Please!" The subordinate pleaded, "it's too dangerous here. You need to go back there and reorganize our troops to deal with him."
Scarface gritted his teeth. He wanted to fight Jack, but his subordinate was right, it's too dangerous. There were too many unknowns at the moment. How did Jack survive? Who shot that powerful magic spells? He decided to listen to his subordinate and started to retreat. His eyes continued to look at Jack as he moved back towards the small hill.
He then realized something odd. Jack was holding a magic staff on his left hand? A sudden realization came to him. "No, it couldn't be…," he muttered.
As he tried to deny the understanding that had come into his thought, Jack instead confirmed it by using his action. He fought the Knight with the sword in his right hand, as the staff in his left hand formed a Magic Shield that blocked the spells and range attacks that were coming at him.
"He… he can cast magic spells?" Scarface uttered with disbelief.
Scarface was not the only one startled by the revelation. All the others were stunned too. After all, everyone knew that they could only choose one class and their progression was fixed along the first class they chose, yet Jack had broken this rule.
The Knight fighting with him was also stunned. His eyes stared at the Magic Shield in front of Jack's staff.
"Y–you…, how do you…" His sentence was stopped short as Jack took the opportunity when he was distracted and used Power Strike to send him away. He then took out another Heal scroll and used it on himself.
Jack's HP bar was in fact not in good condition, it was below half.
Back when the Hellish Explosion was cast, Jack knew he only had an instant, after all, a scroll did not need the user to form the spell formation. It was instantly cast. So when the runes of Hellish Explosion's spell formation flared and took effect. Jack knew he only had an instant. Since Magic Wall was not effective, he could only use the other defensive spell he had, Barrier.
However, that spell required him to perform a rune formation. He was not confident enough to form the spell before the Hellish Explosion spell detonated. That's why he had activated Dragon's Eye. The Dragon's Eye active skill put his vision into slow motion. Everything around him moved slower while his mind operated at a normal pace, or if from other's point of view, Jack's mind suddenly worked at a high speed when the Dragon's Eye active skill was activated.

To form the rune of a spell, Jack did not need to move his magic staff. He only needed to form it with his mind. Hence with the high-speed operation of his mind, the rune was formed at a high speed as well. If it was seen by a bystander, it would appear as if Jack formed his spell rune in an instant.
Jack's Barrier spell took effect before the Hellish Explosion detonated and engulfed him. His Barrier was level 7, giving him a shield that could absorb 68% of his total HP. His total HP was 950, which had been filled up to full when the Hellish Explosion took effect due to the Regeneration spell. If included with the life of his Barrier, Jack could be said to have a total of 1596 HP.
The Hellish Explosion caused damage of around 1500 to 1800 to everyone within its area of effect. Fortunately, Jack's armor had a high magical defense, coupled with his high Wisdom stat. He barely survived the terrifying spell.
His Barrier spell was already broken from the explosion, his remaining HP after the full damage was done was at a dangerous 26 points. If there was any enemy around, it was very easy to use this chance to kill him. Fortunately, the Hellish Explosion had stirred up all the dust on the ground and created a cover.
He deactivated the Life Burning Art to prevent his life from continuing to deplete, the regeneration spell from the scroll had run out when he was hit by the spell. He took out a basic healing potion to recover some of his health and a basic energy potion to replenish his stamina which was also low already. Unfortunately, the potions had cooldown time as well, so he could not spam it despite having a large stock of them.
With the magic staff already out in his left hand, he then decided to no longer keep his second class a secret and cast his two basic range spells, before rushing out from the dust cloud to meet his enemies.
Coming back to the present, after Jack used the Heal scroll, his HP was recovered to a bit more than half. He could not use the Regeneration scroll yet as it was still in cooldown.
Scarface had run back to his base on that small hill. Forcing his way there was not smart, so Jack went to the side and ran towards the closest crowd to kill as many of the enemies as possible. He used his high speed to weave through the range attacks that came at him while using Magic Shield to block those he could not evade.
The players who saw him coming felt like a ravenous monster was coming at them. The weak-willed ones wanted to turn around and flee, but their superior yelled at them to stay their ground. Several higher-level Fighters of level 20 and a few Knight and Warrior came out to meet with Jack. Jack shot standard range attacks with his magic staff and another Mana Bullet which was off cooldown before clashing with those melee players. The unfortunate Warrior who was at the head was immediately thrown back after he tried to stop Jack's Power Strike with his own Power Strike.
Scarface who was back on the small hill with the other leaders watched the incident with grim faces.
"Can anyone tell me what is going on here? How can he cast magic spells?" One of the guild leaders asked.
"Maybe he is using a special tool?"
"Who the hell is he? Why has none of us ever heard of him in the gaming community?"
"Maybe he is using a different alias."
"Everyone stopped!" Manager Steelhand spoke out as he saw the leaders were getting agitated. "There is no need to concern. He was still just one person. We can still deal with him, we just need to prepare to risk more."
He then turned to Scarface and asked, "what do you think?"
Scarface was silent for a bit before saying, "He has two classes."
