[Warning! You have triggered the special scenario: Beastfolk War!]

[As enemies of humanity for many years, the beastfolk wish to kill any human who invades their territory.

The beastfolk are extremely powerful. It is recommended that players ensure their party has at least five members before entering!]

John looked at the crimson prompts continuously appearing before him.

He shook his head slightly.

"Why would I need five people? I alone am enough."

At this moment, the entire beastfolk tribe had already been enveloped by his Nature Barrier.

The beastfolk moving within it had become incomparably slow.

Even their rapid charges were abruptly stalled.

Every movement they made seemed to have been slowed down.

These beastfolk could not understand why this was happening at all.

For a time, they fell into chaos.

Until a loud beast roar rang out.

John’s gaze sharpened as he looked toward the rear of the beastfolk.

He saw a flag made of beast hide being raised.

And beneath that flag, an extremely muscular beastfolk appeared.

John locked onto him, and the other party’s panel surfaced.

[Beastfolk Chieftain] (BOSS)

[Level]: 70

[Rank]: Platinum-grade

[HP]: 5,000,000 / 5,000,000

[Attack]: 1,000,000

[Defense]: 500,000

[Skills]: Gathering of Beast Hearts, Hearts United into Demon, Beast Kingdom Domain...

...

The beastfolk chieftain had appeared.

John instantly locked onto his existence, his eyes burning with excitement.

The Codex of Warrior that John needed was on this boss.

As long as he killed him, he could obtain the Codex of Warrior!

"Roar!"

The beastfolk chieftain unleashed a roar.

The roar carried an extremely powerful encouragement effect.

Under the sound of that roar, the beastfolk whose speed had originally become sluggish actually seemed to become much faster.

This roar had probably increased the beastfolk’s speed by at least 20%.

However, within the Nature Barrier, this small increase in speed was nowhere near enough to let the beastfolk army charge like before.

John sneered.

"A petty trick."

He raised both hands, and two staffs were instantly taken out from his backpack.

John pressed them downward, stabbing the staffs into the ground.

"Come. It’s time for you to experience what a true mage calamity is!"

Several priest skills that enhanced himself erupted from John’s body in succession.

Then, in the next moment, he took a deep breath and placed each hand on the Death Staff and the Dragonflame Staff.

"Dragonfire Fury!"

"Light of Death!"

Boom!

After being enhanced, the two skills erupted with terrifying power.

Even the ground beneath his feet split open with numerous cracks.

This time, the dragon flame and the light of death spread so widely that they enveloped the entire beastfolk army.

One above and one below, like heaven and earth, they directly swallowed the beastfolk army whole!

[-1,000,000!]

[-1,000,000!]

[-1,000,000!]

...

Dense magic damage numbers rose above the beastfolk’s heads.

Every single number was horrifying.

The instant those beastfolk came into contact with the attack, they were melted into withered bones.

The dragon flame burned away their flesh and skin, while the light of death harvested their souls!

An army of more than ten thousand beastfolk was reduced to piles of withered bones in the blink of an eye beneath John’s mage skill, which had been amplified by who knew how many times.

The notifications beside John’s ear nearly went crazy.

[You have killed Beastfolk Warrior Lv. 60. EXP +10 million, gold coins +100,000, Fame +100,000!]

[You have killed Beastfolk Priest Lv. 65. EXP +15 million, gold coins +150,000, Fame +150,000!]

[You have plundered A-grade skill: Beastification!]

[You have plundered A-grade skill: Blood Sacrifice!]

[You have plundered A-grade equipment: Giant Beast Leather Armor!]

...

A massive amount of equipment instantly appeared in John’s backpack.

At this moment, even his experience pool had accumulated several hundred million EXP.

After one wave of ultimate skills swept through the battlefield, the only one left standing was the beastfolk chieftain, who had been reduced to half HP.

The flag in his hand had become tattered and torn.

His entire body froze on the spot.

The beastfolk chieftain stared in disbelief at the piles of withered bones belonging to his own people scattered across the battlefield.

When he looked at John again, he nearly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

This beastfolk chieftain, who had once remained calm even when facing the encirclement of a hundred thousand soldiers from the Eaglecrest Empire, now saw John and was so frightened that his legs went weak.

His chest rose and fell violently as he stared at John approaching step by step.

"You... you are not human. You are a demon!"

He had never seen any human mage who could turn more than ten thousand warriors into withered bones with a mere raise of his hand.

John approached step by step, in no hurry to attack.

In any case, within the Nature Barrier, this boss had nowhere to run.

The beastfolk chieftain tightened his grip on his bone blade, his voice trembling.

"Stop. Don’t come any closer!"

John stopped and said calmly, "The Codex of Warrior. Is it on you?"

A look of horror appeared in the beastfolk chieftain’s eyes.

"How do you know?"

John looked at him playfully.

"Hand it over, and I can consider giving you a chance to live."

The beastfolk chieftain fell silent for a moment.

"It has already been used by me and fused with my body.

"You can forget about obtaining it.

"However, if you are willing, I can consider turning you into a beastfolk.

"That way, you will also be able to share in its effects."

Hearing this, John nearly laughed from anger.

Why would I abandon being a perfectly good human just to become a beastfolk like you?

If this were any other normal player, they might really be unable to resist the temptation and want to transform into a beastfolk.

After all, even if they killed this beastfolk chieftain, there was no guarantee that the Warrior class book would drop.

And this beastfolk settlement was different from other dungeons. It belonged to a one-time quest.

Once it was cleared, the Eaglecrest Empire would send an army to take over and would not allow new beastfolk to appear again.

If one wanted to find another place with the Codex of Warrior next time, it would be difficult.

But for John, this was not a problem at all.

He had 100% plunder.

If he killed it, the item would definitely drop!

"Besides the Codex of Warrior, do you know any clues about the other Codices of Classes?"

Considering what had happened before in the Codex of Assassin dungeon, John did not rush to kill him.

His question left the beastfolk chieftain somewhat stunned.

"No. I picked up my Codex of Warrior by the roadside—"

Splurt!

[-2,500,000! (Fatal Damage)]

A ferocious beast head flew straight into the air.

"In that case, you can die!"

John would never show the slightest mercy to an enemy with no value.

After killing the beastfolk chieftain, notifications sounded beside his ear.

[You have killed platinum-grade BOSS Beastfolk Chieftain Lv. 70. EXP +50 million, gold coins +500,000, Fame +5 million!]

[You have plundered Codex of Warrior!]

[You have plundered SS-grade talent: Combat Instinct!]

[You have plundered S-grade equipment: Beastbone Warblade!]

Several notifications rang out one after another.

John could not hide the excitement on his face as he took out the Codex of Warrior.

"Next, only the final archer Codex of Classes remains!"

With a thought, John directly used the Codex of Warrior!
