All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 55: The Assault

’I’m feeling really pissed off.’

Yesterday, some mysterious person blocked my path. Today, I’m dealing with a riddle-speaker.

’What a bunch of people who can’t speak plainly.’

’Stay safe, lie low, and get stronger.’

Those were the survival principles Lu Cang had set for himself in this Otherworld.

Don’t do anything dangerous. Avoid anything that looks abnormal.

But because of what the Divination Master had said, he knew there was danger, yet he still had to jump into the fire pit.

’It’s really getting under my skin.’

「West Gate of Raine Town」

Lu Cang stood on his Ice Shuttle, floating high in the air, and could see a dense, dark mass in the distance...

’When did they even get here?’

’What is going on?’

’Is this dark mass the Beast Tide?’

’How could it be so sudden? How are we supposed to fight this?’

DONG!

DONG!

DONG!

DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG—

A series of alarms rang out! The Adventurers in the guild were shaken or startled awake.

The Adventurers sleeping in the inns also rushed out in a hurry.

Some didn’t even have time to put on their pants!

"Beast Tide!"

"The Beast Tide is invading!"

"It’s an emergency!"

"Fuck, why?"

"How could it happen at a time like this!"

"Wasn’t everything fine yesterday!"

"Even if a Demon Beast tide had gathered, it shouldn’t have been able to form an invasion this quickly!"

"What’s the situation!"

"Wake up, wake up! The Beast Tide has formed!"

The town was also surrounded by walls. Because this world was full of Demon Beasts, any human settlement would be built with walls.

To prevent Demon Beasts from invading.

Lu Cang landed on the city wall and looked into the distance...

These Demons had appeared out of nowhere, gathering in just a single morning.

’Is this man-made?’

The only thing Lu Cang could think of was that someone had deliberately triggered the Beast Tide, wanting to raze Raine Town to the ground.

Charging at the very front were the fastest Demons.

At a glance, they were mostly cannon fodder.

The most common Demons were both Tier One and Tier Two, with very few Tier Three.

Further back, there were gradually elites, Lords...

However, compared to the vast sea of the Beast Tide, elites and Lords were only a small minority.

A Magic Staff appeared in Lu Cang’s right hand.

Staff of Far Cry.

This Magic Staff, worth 350 gold coins, could greatly increase his Casting Distance.

Thanks to the staff, Lu Cang’s maximum Casting Distance was now one kilometer.

"O, lightning of galloping fury, connect the final rests of life, and rage forth!"

[Magic Learned—Lightning Chain (Tier Two) (Level 1)]

BANG!

A chain of lightning streaked through the horde of monsters!

[Lightning Chain—Skill EXP +30,000]

[Lightning Chain—Skill EXP +1,050,000]

This was the Spell Pari had taught him before he left.

She had told him: "You don’t need a Magic Book to learn Magic. I just need to tell you the Spell."

[Lightning Chain (Level 36)—No Chanting, more chains, each chain hits more targets, greater Power, generates a persistent electric arc.]

Lightning Chain was a Magic spell specializing in area-of-effect damage.

After casting it once with Triple Casting, he killed several dozen Demons.

He instantly gained over a million Experience Points.

Lu Cang chanted, "Burning Flame, form a barrier zone, and rise!"

WHOOSH!

[Magic Learned—Flame Belt (Tier Two) (Level 1)]

A wide, long path of fire formed across the field!

"AWOO!"

"ROAR!"

"ARGH!"

...

The horde of Demon Beasts wailed. As they scrambled to rush forward, they inevitably stepped onto this path of fire.

Their bodies were thus set ablaze.

Some of the weaker Demons rolled on the ground in agony after crossing the belt of fire.

After a few rolls, they were burned to death by the flames engulfing their bodies.

And Lu Cang, in turn, continuously received feedback from his rising Skill Proficiency.

[Flame Belt (Tier Two) (Level 44)—No Chanting, wider and longer flames, longer burn duration, higher scorching temperature, take increased burning damage while on the Flame Belt.]

He raised his hand for a Lightning Chain, unleashing a series of arcing electricity.

He laid down one Flame Belt after another, and they began to burn!

WHOOSH—

CRACKLE!

Electric arcs chained through the Beast Tide, and swaths of Demons fell!

Most of the Demons, after stepping through the Flame Belt, ran for a dozen or so meters completely alight before collapsing in flames.

Lu Cang, all by himself, had actually formed a line of defense.

’This isn’t so hard after all.’

The thought arose in Lu Cang’s mind.

Most of the Demons were very weak, and his area-of-effect damage could kill them instantly.

Immediately after, Lu Cang’s gaze shifted to several Lord Level Demons in the distance.

They were mostly Tiers One to Three Lords.

[Sharp-toothed Rabbit Monarch]

[Hundred-Clawed Centipede]

[Soulless Knight Monarch]

...

Earth and Fire Shattering Heaven.

BOOM!

Earth Fire erupted from beneath the [Sharp-toothed Rabbit Monarch], accompanied by the sudden rise of a Cross-Birth Pillar!

Lava and fire instantly impaled the Rabbit Monarch!

Meanwhile, the Hundred-Clawed Centipede’s hundred legs were severed in an instant by a Breathing Wind Swarm.

Along with it, all the minions in the surrounding area were also sliced apart.

The [Soulless Knight Monarch] was being tracked by three Holy Judgment Crosses. It raised its sword and struck one away, but was viciously pierced by the other two.

Its spectral form billowed away, and most of its body vanished in an instant.

Lu Cang stood alone on the city wall.

Other than chanting a couple of Spells at the beginning, he hadn’t said a word.

He just stood there.

But his Magic was a world-enveloping barrage, blasting a path forward.

He had forcefully blasted several clearings into the dense, dark mass of Demon Beasts.

If one couldn’t feel the surging Magic Power rolling off him, they might have mistaken him for a quiet spectator.

At this moment, many of the Mages who had arrived on the city wall looked at Lu Cang, who stood to the side holding his Magic Staff.

They didn’t see a child.

Instead, they saw.

A pillar of Magic Power, like a column holding up the heavens, rushing toward the sky!

Compared to Lu Cang’s Magic Power, theirs was as weak and insignificant as an ant’s.

It wasn’t even worth mentioning.

But they still joined the battle!

They raised their Magic Staffs on the city wall.

"O, Ice that freezes all."

"Condense into a sharp cone."

"And pierce!"

An Ice Cone materialized beside one of the Mages!

SWOOSH!

It shot toward a Demon in the distance!

PFFT—

It pierced a Demon’s leg, but failed to kill it.

Lu Cang saw this.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

’I’ve never really seen other Mages in combat before.’

’Having seen them today...’

’They really are weak.’

Just as this thought crossed Lu Cang’s mind,

he heard an unfamiliar chant from beside him. A Mage wearing a blue Magic Hat was holding a blue Magic Staff high.

"Rising clouds and mist, sweep across the vast sky! O, soaring wind, blow everything away!"

WHOOSH!

The sky and earth changed color!

A violent gale suddenly rose between heaven and earth! A Tornado formed under his chant!

[Tornado (Tier Four)]

WHOOSH—

The powerful Tornado tore across the land. All Demons caught by it were irresistibly lifted into the air and then flung away by the gale!

They were sent flying from high up into the distance!

SPLAT!

They were smashed into a bloody pulp on the ground, even crushing many other Demons to death.

A High Level Mage.

A Level 4 Mage had already mastered Magic capable of slightly altering the course of a war.

’As expected, it’s a completely different league from the petty squabbles of Level 1-2 Mages.’
