Now he had the advantage of not allowing them to summon the Hatred Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and he could always teleport to the [Mage Tower], if they tried to break through Arceus would absolutely annihilate them before they even had the time to realize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows you shouldn't mess around with a Grand Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he had nothing to do, all Alex needed to do was to upgrade [Volcanic Lance] to it's max-tier to surprise Arceus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[SSS-Level Grand Mage Student Quest #2 has been triggered, \"Show me your Worth, Student\"!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Objective: Cast the max-tier evolution of \"Volcanic Lance\" in front of Arceus.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: ???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time limit: none.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To do that quickly, Alex spent a few [Skill Points] to evolve it twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used 20 skill points to upgrade it to its intermediate rank, which was [Magma Spear], then another 70 to evolve it to [Hellfire Spear], which was the advanced tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hellfire Spear Level 1: Summons a massive, molten spear of fire and lava, hurling it at the target.

Enemies hit are inflicted with \"Burn\". Consumes 300,000 mana.

It was high, but not high enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I have an idea,\" Alphox spoke for the first time in a week, appearing beside Alex, his obsidian scales and form looking more majestic than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The process of breaking through takes time for a dragon, and that small rest after that... attack from the hydra allowed me to grow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alphox snorted, his glowing eyes narrowing as he perched on a nearby boulder. \"The [Elven Spring] could solve your issue instantly.

Not just any elves, mind you—the [Sylvan Council]. They're ancient, powerful, and not inclined to let outsiders near their sacred sites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you step into their territory uninvited, you'll find yourself against warriors who can manipulate the very essence of nature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grimaced, \"Yeah, no, thanks. Besides, the elves are neutral. They won't join the [Gods' Army] or the forces of [Evil]. Attacking them would be... tactically stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Alphox tilted his head, confused as to what Alex was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, just go back to your space,\" Alex snapped his fingers, and Alphox seeped back into his shadow pet space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex closed his status screen, his fingers drumming on the hilt of his staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can't rely on shortcuts, I'll have to extract Spirit myself. There's no other way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the current evolution of the [Hellfire Spear] skill, the final tier would possibly require 500,000 mana, which was insane to any mage, even some of the higher-ranked one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, he needed to reach 25,000 spirit by the next two weeks as he wanted to complete that task given by Arceus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also before the entrance examination happened, as well as the true opening of [Universal Descent] to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than 2 weeks, the [Beta Tester] title would be fully removed, allowing everybody that wanted to enter the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, Alex was fine for now, as no one was strong enough to beat level 500 monsters like he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Alex already had the perfect location to complete his tasks: the [Cave of Oblivion].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Shadow Dire Wolves], the most common monster there, had [Attributes Points Packs] (Divine) that increased each of his attributes by 20 permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, it wasn't the best place to level up since the wolves were level 400, but at least he could get spirit and some [Shadow Dire Wolf Meat] to try and cook for Arceus later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he would even give him a new skill book if he enjoyed the food?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Shadow Dire Wolves] were considered boss monsters, and so they had a 100% chance to activate his talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit: 17,434]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed 25,000 spirit minimum, meaning that he would need to kill 379 or more [Shadow Dire Wolves].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a lot, the only problem being the fact that he would need to wait for them to respawn once killing them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you want to teleport to \"Cave of Oblivion\"?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Alex nodded, teleporting out of the [Fox Tribe Village], now that he knew more orcs were showing up, he needed to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex appeared inside of the [Cave of Oblivion], but not at the start as he decided to instead directly teleport to the [Heart of Calamity Chamber].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was where he met the [Three-Headed Hydra], which was currently stored inside of the [Heart of Calamity], which in return seeped into his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was weird when you think about it, but maybe it would reveal an incredible power later on, who knows.\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.111Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","75bb239b83ec756a252a4bacda5e7f9d16f377d9b0c9017207ab7bbaf4dc0c7a","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-142","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-140",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
