"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Come back!
You can't afford to mess with the Dynasty Guild!"
"Get back here!
You'll get yourself killed!"
Wang Yi was extremely nervous, wanting to pull Morintis back.
Morintis ignored him and resolutely walked forward.
The protesters suddenly fell silent, all turning their attention to Morintis.
Morintis, accompanied by his Skeleton Warrior, headed towards the dungeon.
The skeleton made clicking sounds as it walked.
"What do you think you're doing?"
The lead mage of the Dynasty Guild, a man named Jacob, stared coldly at Morintis.
Behind him, over a dozen Dynasty Guild members simultaneously turned their gazes towards Morintis.
These people were all above level 20, each possessing an impressive aura.
Knights, Warriors, Mages, Archers, Supports – a complete combat team.
Moreover, their equipment was excellent, from weapons to armor to accessories, all uniformly Bronze-tier.
This was precisely why, despite the number of protesters, no one dared to actually start a fight.
Their levels were inferior, their team composition was inferior, their equipment was inferior, and their skills were inferior.
With weaker fists, they could only protest with their mouths.
Morintis stopped in front of the mage and said calmly, "Make way."
Jacob acted as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"Young man, are you drunk?
Go home."
Morintis continued, "Don't stop me from entering the dungeon, or I'll kill you."
Morintis said this very seriously.
He truly wasn't joking.
Right now, he needed to enter the dungeon to level up.
This concerned his entry into Xiajing Academy.
If anyone dared to stop him, he really would kill.
Jacob cast a detection skill on Morintis.
Then he let out a scornful laugh.
"Morintis?
Just a little level 12 brat, daring to spout nonsense here.
Did your elders not teach you how to speak properly?"
"Necromancer?
Haven't seen this class before.
Is it a new one?"
"An undead summon?
Quite interesting."
"Considering you're a mage like me, I'll let you off this time.
Now scram."
The other party's level exceeded Morintis's by more than 10, so the Blocking Badge had no effect.
His words revealed Morintis's level to everyone present.
Only level 12!
He could solo the dungeon at just level 12?
Wait!
He might not have even been level 12 before.
Some realized that Morintis's class must be very powerful.
Morintis likewise used a detection skill.
Tit for tat.
The mage wasn't wearing a Blocking Badge, so Morintis saw his class.
[Jacob, Level 25, Mage.]
Unlike elemental mages like Sophia, he was just a standard Mage, a mid-tier class.
Although he had reached level 25, Morintis didn't take him seriously.
Jacob wore a cold smile.
The Dynasty Guild members behind him also showed scorn.
"A level 12 brat, still wet behind the ears.
Go home and drink milk."
"This isn't the place for you.
Watch you don't lose your life."
"Stick to killing wild monsters.
The dungeon isn't for you yet."
Behind Morintis, the protesters who had been complaining earlier now spoke to him, "Young man, come back.
The Dynasty Guild is unreasonable; they really will kill."
Wang Yi shouted, "Brother, come back!
We can enter the dungeon after they leave."
Morintis ignored the voices from all sides.
His tone grew colder.
"Last time.
Make way, or die."
Jacob felt a chill from Morintis's words and involuntarily shivered.
Morintis's gaze made his heart grow cold.
What kind of look was that?
It was as if, in Morintis's eyes, he wasn't a person, but a monster.
But the next second, he recovered.
"Brat, you're looking for death!
Take one more step, and I'll kill you!"
Morintis looked at Jacob, the corner of his mouth moving slightly.
"Kill."
He uttered the word lightly.
The Skeleton Warrior shot forward like lightning, appearing before the mage in an instant, its blade raised.
Jacob, with a mocking expression, activated a light blue energy shield around himself.
"A mere level 12 brat.
Even if I stand here and let you hit me, you can't break my energy shield."
The Skeleton Warrior's blade struck the energy shield.
The shield distorted violently, almost on the verge of shattering.
Instantly, Jacob's face changed.
What kind of summon was this?
Its attack power was so high!
His energy shield could withstand at least five attacks from a warrior of the same level.
But against this Skeleton Warrior, it would break by the second hit at most.
"Skill!"
At Morintis's mental command, the Skeleton Warrior's blade erupted with dazzling red light.
Furious Strike.
Jacob was scared out of his wits.
Who could have imagined this summon could use a skill?
He felt the threat of death.
Under this skill, not only would his shield break, but he would die.
Flame Repulsion!
Jacob instantly cast the skill.
A ring of fire erupted, instantly pushing the Skeleton Warrior back several meters.
The Skeleton Warrior's skill was interrupted.
"What are you all staring at?
Attack!"
Jacob, feeling as if he had just escaped the gates of hell, pale-faced, screamed sharply.
A Knight charged out in response, activating Charge.
He raised his shield, covered over ten meters in an instant, and slammed heavily into the Skeleton Warrior.
Boom!
With a cry of pain, the Knight was sent flying.
The Skeleton Warrior stood firm, unmoved.
In terms of pure strength, the Skeleton Warrior was utterly superior.
Unless it was a skill like Flame Repulsion with a forced knockback effect, it came down to who had greater strength.
The Skeleton Warrior charged forward again, loyally executing Morintis's order: kill Jacob.
Jacob retreated quickly, reinforcing his shield while shouting, "Kill the summoner!"
The best way to deal with a summoner wasn't to kill the summons, but to kill the summoner themselves.
Once the summoner died, the summons would naturally disappear.
Thwip!
Thwip!
Two Archers loosed their arrows simultaneously.
The arrows split into three mid-air, transforming into streams of light shooting towards Morintis.
"Look out!"
"Dodge!"
People behind him shouted loudly.
Yet Morintis neither dodged nor avoided, his expression not changing in the slightest.
