It was the words of a prayer and a magical spell, a power he had gained from the nightmare he had experienced when he first swallowed the leaf.
To be honest, even if he used this skill, he was still no match for the gold-level adventurer team. But if he was lucky, he might be able to take down one or two of them.
Abnormal energy surged out of his body, his heartbeat soared to over 200 in an instant, and an unprecedented sense of power erupted from his broken body.
"Wow!" He stood up, dragging his broken body and roaring at the sky. Tiny blood beads overflowed from his pores, half of them evaporated into blood mist, and the other half dyed his entire body red.
He knew nothing. The world before his eyes was only red and filled with enemies.
Burn! Burn everything, whether it is blood, reason, life, or soul—turn them into fuel and burn as much as you can!
"Kill it!"

In the evening, in Kelmais City, at the Adventurer's Guild.
"Two teams that were on a mission went missing today, one gold-level and one silver-level. So far, no one has returned," the man whispered while fiddling with the chessboard in front of him.
"If they are all wiped out, the loss will be too great, President," the secretary responded to him.
"And now we can't even find out whether they are alive or dead. This is really unusual..." The man sighed. "By the way, what do you think of the order from the Duchess?"
"He killed the bounty-bearing original bronze-level adventurer, 'Phantom' Michael. He has the power to use third-level magic and has saved the young lady. In addition, the Duchess has strongly recommended him. I think he can be awarded the 'Platinum Medal' directly."
"Isn't it too high? Although there should be no problem in terms of strength, the qualifications of the adventurers... You know, there is only one Mithril team in Maple Moon Territory now, although they are about to be promoted to Orichalcum level."
"At first, I even considered Mithril. If the level is lower than Platinum, the Duchess will not be able to justify it."
"That's it, then. Grant this team of adventurers platinum status," the president leaned back in his chair and whispered.
"He was promoted to 'Platinum' in one day. In fact, he may have even higher abilities. Could it be that this time, in our Maple Moon Territory, an adamantium-level adventurer will finally appear?"
At six o'clock in the morning, when it is just daybreak, most of the vendors in the city are gathering to supply goods, and the morning market has just opened. From newlyweds in their teens to old ladies in their 50s and 60s taking care of their grandchildren, they all rush to buy the fresh and cheap morning market goods.
This is also the time when most adventurers get up and start their activities. For adventurers whose missions are mostly carried out in the wild, the night without light and limited vision is both dangerous and inconvenient, so daytime time is extremely precious.
Therefore, it is the consensus of most adventurers to get up early and make full use of the daytime to complete their tasks.
Of course, not everyone can get up early. For example, Aya can accept staying up all night relying on the function of the ring at critical moments, but once she has gone to bed, she will never get up until 7:30.
Even if no one calls her, it is not completely impossible for her to sleep until the afternoon, and she almost never stays up late, usually going to bed at ten o'clock.
She had the habit of waking up late anyway, so Aya and Moon Shadow agreed to meet at the tavern at eight o'clock, an hour later than the other party had proposed.
In this situation, the members of the Moon Shadow team found a reason to stay in bed. The two warriors and the ranger Darina had no intention of waking up. However, the magician Monica got up early because of her biological clock.
Without waking up her roommate Darlene, Monica finished washing up and returned to her room, only to find that the light in the next bedroom was on.
Moon Shadow rented a house in the city. Two men lived in one room, two women lived in another, and the remaining pastor, Jasmine, lived in a smaller single room.
"Jasmine." Monica knocked on the door gently and asked, "Are you awake?"
There was a banging sound in the room, and then the door opened, revealing a girl with an embarrassed look on her face.
She was not very tall, about 1.6 meters, with a light green ponytail, very smooth skin, and distinctive facial features. If she walked on the street, about six out of ten men would notice her.
But she usually wore a hood to cover her entire face. The reason for this was because there was another more eye-catching part of her body.
Her ears were not ordinary human ears, but long, pointed ears, and the tip of her left ear was cut off.
Long ears are the symbol of elves, and the truncated ear is a sign that she was once a slave.
This is why she has to wear a hood when going out. This secret is currently known only to a few people, including her companions in the Moon Shadow team.
There is a very deep bond within their team, and because of this bond, they work hard to help hide Jasmine's secret, and Jasmine works hard to heal and assist teammates during the mission in return.
"Sister Monica, what's wrong?" Jasmine's voice sounded a little panicked.
Taking a quick peek inside, Monica roughly understood what she was doing.
"Are you writing a letter to your little lover, girl?" Sighing silently in her heart, Monica saw through it but did not say anything, and instead asked Jasmine a question in another direction.
"We are going to carry out a mission with those two people today." Monica said. "What do you think of them?"
"The bell didn't ring at that time, which means they were not lying. That boy can use third-level magic. Just based on this, they should be able to help us in the battle," Jasmine said as she picked up the white clothes from her bed.
"But he said he's a ranger and can use third-level magic, but he's not a magician? That's a bit strange." The girl put on her clothes and a hat, covering her face and ears.
"What about the others?" Monica said. "For example, what do you think of the boy himself?"
"He looks good, and he handles etiquette very well."
"What else?"
"Hmm? What else? What do you want to say? Sister Monica."
"No, it's okay." Looking at the girl's appearance, Monica swallowed back everything she wanted to say.
Monica and the shield warrior Peter in the team were in a relationship, while another warrior, Miles, wanted to pursue Darlene.
As for Jasmine, although she was also in a relationship, for some reasons, to be honest, it was because of the problems with the person Jasmine was in love with, Monica did not support her relationship and even wanted Jasmine to get out of it as soon as possible.
He has the power of third-level magic, a top-notch appearance, and excellent etiquette. He is very likely a descendant of nobility. If he can accept the elf race and Jasmine's background...
Let's wait and see. It's too early to think about these things now. She reached out and touched Jasmine's head. Although she was about ten years younger than the elf, she always felt that Jasmine was a younger sister, and the other party also called her sister.
"Do your best for today's mission."
"Yeah." Monica nodded and suppressed her thoughts.
"I hope everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens."

"Mom, mom, it's time to get up." Lilith shook Aya's shoulders.
"Hmm..." Completely ignoring all this, Aya turned over in the other direction, from lying down to lying prone.
