Talent Awakening: I, the Weakest Awakened, Start with Dragonfire Spell

Chapter 27: Chapter27-Taking Action, Everyone's Shock!

It goes without saying that Howard's agreement to team up with Caitlin this time was unequivocally the right choice.

Not only did he encounter Abby and get a glimpse of her current state, but he was also able to witness the so-called geniuses, who became arrogant after awakening, act obediently in front of him.

They even paved the way for him and dealt with the monsters.

After all, Howard had an agreement with Caitlin, he only needed to take action during the final confrontation with the extraplanar entities.

Given that Glyn, the leader of the elite team, was Caitlin's classmate, there was no chance he would target Howard, thus those supposed geniuses became the lowest ranked individuals in the team.

After testing each of the five passages one by one, they found only two were without traps.

Glyn couldn't help but fall into deep thought, pondering over how to choose between the two paths.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to let the magus take action.

"Perris, cast a fireball to check the situation inside the passages," he instructed.

This moment showcased the importance of having a team.

Despite the impressive abilities of both Glyn and Caitlin, they couldn't break free from the constraints of their classes, unable to unleash pyro (fire) skills.

Regrettably, the Ruins and dungeons harbored various peculiar entities, necessitating a myriad of elemental skills to neutralize the threats.

Venturing alone through the Ruins or dungeons without forming a team was a herculean task, unless one possessed the capabilities of multiple classes.

"Understood, Senior Glyn." Perris responded, stepping behind Glyn. Wielding a wand resembling a tree branch, he began chanting incantations.

"Oh fiery spirit of the blaze, follow the guidance of your devout follower and purify the darkness that lies before us!"

"Light of Flame!"

As Perris' chanting came to an end, a fierce flame erupted from his wand, instantly engulfing the space ten yards in front of him, swallowing even the passage.

The surging fire illuminated the passage in an instant, accompanied by the echoing screams from within.

Looking in the direction from where the sound emanated, they were stunned to see a spider concealed on one side of the tunnel ceiling.

At that moment, the spider was being engulfed by the flames, its body hairs were ignited and it was rolling incessantly within the tunnel.

"Indeed there is a monster, prepare for battle!"

Glyn immediately became grave and shielded Perris behind him.

Perris, after all, was a level 6 magus who had just selected his class.

Even with the high-level skills purchased with a hefty price from his family, he couldn't inflict substantial damage on the creatures residing in the Ruins.

In merely three seconds, as the flames dissipated, the sound of the spider crawling echoed abruptly within the dark tunnel.

"Retreat!"

Glyn signaled for the elite team members to move back.

Caitlin, holding onto Howard, also retreated along with her guard.

It had been agreed beforehand; until they encountered an extraplanar entity, all monsters would be dealt with by Glyn.

Caitlin would only step in to help if there were signs of Glyn faltering.

The clear sound of footsteps resounded beside them and quickly, a spider towering as tall as a person burst out from the passage.

By this point, all of its hair had been scorched, leaving it entirely blackened, yet a pair of its eyes were still blinking with an eerie glow.

Its more than a dozen legs were exceptionally sharp, marking the hard stone bricks with scratch marks as it moved.

Glyn swiftly assessed the spider's attributes and promptly shared the information with the team.

[Millennium Spider]

Level: 40

Tier: Platinum

HP: 43,000

Attack Power: 2,885–3,726

Defense Value: 2,590

Skills: Spider Sweep, Venomous Silk Spray, Heavenly Spider Web, Death Devour

Description: Originally a small spider hidden within the Ruins, it absorbed a considerable amount of spiritual energy over tens of millions of years, achieving terrifying strength.

"Fuck! A level 40 creature!"

"The creatures Senior Glyn led us to fight against previously were only around level 30."

"Such formidable attributes."

For a moment, exclamations of shock escaped from the students.

Glyn, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

Being an S-level awakened, he felt no pressure facing a monster not higher than his own level.

If it weren't for the purpose of training Abby and the others behind him, Glyn could have utilized high-tier skills to obliterate the spider creature in a split second.

"Do not fear, no matter how high the attributes of this spider creature are, it's still just a spider." "It fears fire, all magus with Pyro spells, release your skills, bombard it!"

Glyn instantly shouted, advancing bravely towards the spider creature.

Seeing Glyn charge forward, Abby and the others shook off their fear.

One by one, the magi swung their wands.

Although they hadn't mastered skills like "Light of Flame", they all had learned the basic skill of "fireball".

In an instant, blistering flames gathered, transforming into a series of fireballs, hurtling towards the spider creature with a roaring sound.

Abby's eyes were cold as she drew her bow, a red flame converged into a feathered arrow which broke through the air in the next moment, fiercely heading towards the spider creature.

Abby had awakened the S-level talent "Heart of Elf".

When equipped with a bow and arrow, she could freely condense feathered arrows from the four primary elements and imbue them with elemental properties into her skills.

Suddenly, flames continuously erupted on the spider, forcing it to roll again.

"Roar!"

A furious roar resonated as the spider suddenly leaped, its numerous legs slicing through the air rapidly, charging towards the elite team members.

"Get back!"

However, before the spider creature could approach Abby and the others, Glyn clapped his hands together, astonishingly summoning a bolt of lightning which struck the spider creature immediately.

"-5125!"

A crimson damage number floated up, the spider creature was directly stunned on the spot.

The elite team members were not fools; seizing the opportunity, they frantically unleashed their skills, eager to maximize their output.

In no time, the spider creature's HP plummeted at a rapid pace.

Three seconds later, almost the instant the spider creature broke free from the lightning-induced stun, it spat out a web.

The horrifying web, bearing a strange and eerie essence, fell straight towards Abby and the others.

"Quick, counter with Pyro skill!"

The group of students once again deployed Pyro skills.

However, this time, even though the flames bombarded the web, they failed to ignite it; instead, the flames were extinguished.

Seeing the web about to fall on Abby, Howard finally couldn't restrain himself any longer. With a flicker of thought, the Dragonfire spell was unleashed.

"Roar!"

A resonant dragon chant rang out, instantly drawing the attention of numerous individuals.

In the next moment, under everyone's astonished gazes, a burst of fire blossomed and suddenly transformed into a fire dragon.

The fire dragon was incredibly solid, with even its scales appearing exceedingly clear.

The horrifying pressure it emanated made everyone feel a tightness in their chests, including both Caitlin and Glyn.

Simultaneously, under Howard's control, the fire dragon burst forth vehemently.

Its flaming claws, blazing with incinerating fire, effortlessly grasped and burned the web, which was about to fall on Abby, into ashes.

In the next moment, the fire dragon spun its body, resembling a fiery sphere as it violently collided with the spider.

Boom—

"-6712!"

Another crimson damage number surfaced, and the spider creature was instantly sent flying, with a noticeable reduction in the health bar displayed above its head.

At this moment, Glyn also reacted, no longer thinking about letting the students practice their skills.

Lightning flickered in his hands, and he himself turned into a streak of lightning, fiercely piercing through the body of the spider creature.

The fire dragon, on the other hand, seized the spider with its two claws, tearing it apart ferociously!

Sounds akin to the tearing of fabric echoed as the colossal body of the spider creature was split into two halves in an instant, its health bar depleted entirely.

Amidst the crisp sound of bronze coins scattering on the ground, the spider creature transformed into a white light and dissipated.

However, everyone's gazes, Glyn included, were astonishingly fixed on Howard.

In their minds, dragons were extremely potent beings. Being able to summon a dragon... didn't that mean even greater power?

At this point, they hadn't returned to the academy yet and were unaware of Howard's ability to summon a fire dragon; otherwise, Howard would not dare to casually deploy the Dragonfire spell.

Not far away, Glyn emerged, looking at Howard with deep emotions welling in his heart. "No wonder he was able to win over Caitlin, so he is a summoner capable of calling forth a fire dragon!"

It was well known that summoned creatures would be somewhat weaker than awakened individuals.

Therefore, seeing the damage caused by the fire dragon surpassing his own, Glyn concluded that Howard's strength far exceeded his own!

Would he spit blood in frustration if he knew that Howard was just a level 11 magus?
