"What kind of magic is this?"
Shi Feng could feel the pressure emanating from Anna growing stronger and stronger, as if he were standing before a Tier 3 NPC. It was the first time he had ever encountered such magic.
A Tier 3 NPC was the kind of being that could guard an entire city. Even in a city like White River City, they would be among the top-tier figures—practically impossible to run into.
Shi Feng immediately pulled up Anna's skill panel.
"No way—she's already mastered a Tier 2 forbidden spell!" Staring at the list of skills, Shi Feng was thoroughly stunned.
Anna's potential was truly terrifying.
Previously, Shi Feng had inspected Cait's skill panel. While Cait had learned quite a few Tier 2 skills, she had only managed to learn a single Tier 2 forbidden spell—and that had required completing numerous tasks. Yet Anna had already learned two Tier 2 forbidden spells.
And one of them was one he had never even heard of.
Voice of Summoning!
It not only forcefully elevated the caster to Tier 3, but could also summon a Tier 3 creature—the Golden Giant.
A golden magic circle began to coalesce, drawing in limitless mana.
In just two or three seconds, that boundless mana condensed into a golden giant standing over ten meters tall, clad entirely in golden armor with a massive golden axe strapped to its back.
Golden Giant. Elemental Being. Great Lord. Level 60. HP: 30 million.
Shi Feng's heart surged with elation at the sight of the Golden Giant.
The power Anna displayed was simply too shocking. As only a Tier 3 NPC, she could already summon a Tier 3 creature, and she herself had reached Tier 3 as well. Dealing with a same-level Tier 3 monster would be child's play.
The Golden Giant swung its axe straight at the Crystal Wolf King. The strike wasn't particularly fast, and the Crystal Wolf King met it head-on with a swipe of its claw.
BOOM!
The Crystal Wolf King was sent flying, slamming heavily into the ground. Its claw trembled violently, and its gaze toward the Golden Giant was filled with wariness.
A single frontal clash had knocked the Crystal Wolf King back while dealing over five thousand points of damage. If it hadn't blocked with its claw, the damage would have far exceeded what Cait could inflict.
A single Golden Giant was already capable of fighting the Crystal Wolf King one-on-one. Add in Cait attacking the Crystal Wolf King's weak points from the side to support the Golden Giant's assault, and the Crystal Wolf King was pushed into an absolute disadvantage—left with nothing to do but take the beating.
"It seems my plan was unnecessary." Shi Feng shook his head with a wry smile as he watched the Crystal Wolf King's health tick down steadily.
He finally understood what it felt like to be the player who had obtained a Dark Gold Guardian in his previous life. He had originally planned to jump in himself, but now that seemed entirely superfluous. If he charged in as well, that would just be bullying the Crystal Wolf King.
He had to admit—having a Dark Gold Guardian was simply exhilarating.
He could literally level up while lying down.
He didn't have to do a single thing. Even a player who couldn't fight at all would be fine; the Direct Guardian could handle everything.
"No wonder those players dumped every last coin into developing these Dark Gold Guardians," Shi Feng thought, recalling the player from his previous life who had been lucky enough to obtain one. "The power gap is massive."
With such a powerful guardian, leveling up and farming monsters for money was effortless.
Wild bosses were nothing more than personal ATMs for players who owned Dark Gold Guardians. There was no need to do what the major guilds did—painstakingly organize huge numbers of members and risk a full party wipe just to take down a wild boss. The only challenge for these players was finding the wild bosses in the first place.
Even if they could only locate one every two or three days, killing the boss and selling off the unwanted drops was enough to keep any player living in absolute comfort—far exceeding the income of even the top experts in the Divine Realm.
