Chapter 271 : 6000 Kills
Chapter 271: 6000 Kills
The Guard Captain was dazed for a long time.
Only after regaining his senses did he notice that Gauss was watching him.
"Thank you for saving us! My name is Jimmy. May I know how to address my benefactor?"
The thought that, without the man in front of him, he and his comrades might already be lying dead on the ground made a flash of relief appear in his eyes.

"Just call me Gauss."
Gauss blinked as he sensed the surge of Professional aura from the other party.

It was his first time witnessing someone ascend to a Professional in person.
Judging from the man’s age, he wasn’t particularly young anymore, likely not among the highly gifted.
It seemed that the oppressive pressure from the Goblins earlier was indeed intense—enough to push someone to break through in the heat of battle.
"Gauss, there are still a few left."
W еb̀ń оṽ el. Е n̊ u ḿа̃
Arya and the others followed up from behind him.
Several Goblins who had escaped in the chaos were caught and brought back by them.
Gauss swung his sword a few times and decapitated the Goblins.
As the saying goes, "Do not refrain from doing good just because it is minor."

The Guard Captain watched this scene with a strange expression.
He seemed to not quite understand why Gauss’s teammates went out of their way to drive the Goblins back for him to deal with.
Ẇеb nо̂ v e l̂ Е ṅ ŭ m̆ȧ
Wasn’t that unnecessary?
With the combat power of this elite team, any member could have easily dealt with them at any time.
But he didn’t question it—just assumed it was a coincidence.
Serandur silently walked around the group and began healing the injured guards behind them.
"You all are on a…?"
Gauss looked at the group’s outfits and asked curiously.

It was obvious that they were guards—but where was their employer?
When he locked onto the scene from afar just now, if he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen other figures.
"We took a private guard commission to escort a mage and his grandson to Sena City."
At the mention of this, Jimmy couldn’t help the anger rising in his heart.
"Just now, that old mage slipped away early while my brothers and I were fighting for our lives."
Since it was a private job, the client had only paid part of the deposit—the rest was to be paid upon arrival in Sena City.
Ė n ùm а
So to be precise, this wasn’t just abandoning his teammates; it was also a case of skipping payment.
"He clearly said he just needed us to hold on a little longer so he could prepare a spell to help us."

Guard Captain Jimmy clenched his fists.
He swore that the next time they met, he would punch that wrinkled old face of his.
Thinking about that old mage, then looking at the helpful and handsome swordsman in front of him, Jimmy couldn’t help but sigh.
"Spellcasters really are schemers."
Е̃ n̂um̈_ӓ
"Warriors like you, brother, are the ones with heart."
Though a bit of a stereotype, professions did indeed influence personalities.
Upon hearing this, Gauss blinked awkwardly.
"Brother Jimmy, actually, I’m also a spellcaster."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Hah?"
Jimmy turned his head, looking at him in confusion.
Ѐn um̊_а̄.і̃d
As if he hadn’t heard clearly.
A spellcaster?
Scenes of Gauss’s lightning-fast, swift movements from earlier flashed through his mind.
How could that possibly be a spellcaster?
But once reminded, he did vaguely sense that something was off about Gauss.
First, there was the way he descended from the sky.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It wasn’t that warriors couldn’t fly—through magical items, special skills, or talents, it was possible—but generally speaking, ordinary warriors didn’t possess such an ability.
If it were a spellcaster, though, it would make more sense.
Second, the man was wearing a mage robe.
Earlier he had assumed it was just a quirky fashion preference.
"I only have some superficial knowledge of swordsmanship," Gauss added.
Although he had already awakened his second profession as a swordsman, he didn’t plan on sharing that with just anyone.
Enu m а̊.і.ḋ
Adventurers with dual professions were rare—that itself was a unique trump card.
"Superficial, huh?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Jimmy’s mouth twitched.
Suddenly, he felt utterly defeated.
The thought that all his years of tempering melee skills might not even measure up to the finesse of a spellcaster like Gauss filled him with mixed emotions.
After a brief rest—
Е̇ nu̇_m̆ ã. і d
Serandur finished treating the other guards.
Thanks to Gauss’s timely arrival, the Goblins hadn’t had time to inflict any irreversible injuries on the guards whose lines had been breached.
Superficial wounds were nothing too difficult for a Level 4 Priestess.
"What are your plans now?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Gauss asked, watching the guards righting the carriage and calming the horses.
"I’m going to Sena City!"
Еń um̂ а_.і̄ d̄
"That old man’s destination is there—I need to settle the score for my brothers!"
Normally, with experienced mercenaries like them at the front lines, as long as the mage was willing to help, the chances of victory weren’t low.
But the mage had chosen instead to deceive them—and even used their desperate battle as a lure for the Goblins, slipping away without a word.
It couldn’t be called anything but treacherous.
If Gauss and the others hadn’t appeared—
They might already be inside Goblin bellies by now.

The more he thought about it, the more furious he became. Jimmy felt this grudge was too bitter to swallow.
Now that he had advanced to a Professional warrior, although he hadn’t fully mastered Professional-level strength, it gave him enough confidence.
"Then take care."
Gauss pointed them in the right direction.
It was the opposite of his own route, so they wouldn’t be traveling together.
"Benefactor, this is the cash we have on us—not much. We’ll repay you properly next time we meet. I should be based in Sena City in the future."

At parting, Captain Jimmy seemed to recall something and took out a small pouch from inside his clothes.
It held a dozen or so silver coins.

Not a huge amount, but not insignificant either.
He and his brothers had invested most of their savings into the carriage.
He knew this sum might seem like an almost "insultingly low" payment for someone as powerful as this "mage."
But it was all he could afford right now.
Е n̂ ǔ m̂.ӑ
Gauss glanced at them.
He symbolically took one silver coin from the pouch.
"This is more than enough," Gauss shook his head. "Consider it a gesture of friendship."
Before Jimmy could say anything more, he turned around.

"Next time we meet—let’s drink."
Swinging onto his mount, Gauss’s figure disappeared freely down the road.
Ẃе̇ b̀ n̄ о̌v ӗl̂ Е̃ň ǔ m̀ ӑ
Jimmy and the others followed the direction Gauss had come from. The path ahead had already been cleared of monsters—no dangers remained.
.
"Total Monster Kills: 5999"
"Total Monster Kills: 6000"
He casually pinned a slime to the ground.
Gauss’s total monster kill count had finally reached 6000.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Between the major milestones of 4000 and 10000, the small checkpoint representing 6000 kills had been lit.
"Reward obtained: Class Talent【Master of Stable Casting】"
The 6000-kill checkpoint did not grant a new spell or attribute points.
Instead, it awarded a class talent.
Gauss looked at the talent description.
【Master of Stable Casting】: This talent allows your casting state to become more stable and less easily interrupted.
Е̂ n̄ ū.m̌ а́
At best, it could only be considered a minor talent.
But Gauss was quite satisfied.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A more stable casting state and reduced chance of interruption—it might not sound like it strengthened spell power, nor did it provide any direct numerical boosts, but this plain and simple talent was actually critical.
With this talent, he would be much more at ease against enemies who knew counterspells or interruption magic.
And it also reduced the "crash" risk when using 【Fly】 midair.
Moreover, could it be that he could now—
Еnu ma.. ї_d̃
As this thought struck him, he prepared to test it.
"Give me a moment."
After saying this to his companions—
He swiftly cast 【Fly】 on himself.

Magical energy instantly enveloped his body.
He floated up from the back of his Chocobo.
Ӗ n u mа . î_ḋ
And quickly rose above the height of the surrounding trees.
"It really does feel different."
He couldn’t put into words the strange feeling after acquiring the talent【Master of Stable Casting】.
In short, the change brought by Stable Casting wasn’t something that an increase in 【Fly】 proficiency could have achieved—it was an enhancement from another dimension.
So stable it was terrifying.
He gazed into the distance.

Then, in the next moment, several 【Magic Missiles】 shot out from his white wand.
"Swish swish swish!"
The magic missiles exploded amid the nearby trees.
It worked!
The flying-cast ability Gauss had been training for had finally taken a critical step forward after gaining this talent.
He then began testing casting while flying and moving.
Еnu m а̂ . іd
Overall, there weren’t many issues.
However, as speed increased, casting did become a bit more strenuous.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Because maintaining the magical energy output of 【Fly】 while casting at the same time might sound simple, but it demanded extremely precise and steady control of magical energy.
Being able to perform it "at will"—even with【Master of Stable Casting】—might not have been enough. The other class talent, 【Spell Mastery】, probably also played a substantial role.
A slight smile rose at the corner of Gauss’s lips.
This breakthrough symbolized that his mobility as a mage had stepped up to a new level.
Ẅe b̈ ǹоṽе̂ ľ Е n̊ ǔ ḿ ã
It was like a fighter jet now equipped with a full weapon system—becoming a true airborne turret.
From now on, he could rapidly maneuver with【Fly】while smoothly casting other spells to strike enemies.
Especially those enemies with no anti-air capabilities—there would be nothing they could do but stare up in vain.
For example, that Petrifying Bull he had encountered not long ago—

If he had mastered airborne casting back then, he wouldn’t have needed to land on a hilltop.
He could’ve just dropped a【Fireball】right onto its head.
Е̂nu ṁ а́ . і d
Although his proficiency with【Fireball】was still lacking, at least he wouldn’t have to search for a foothold anymore.
You couldn’t always find a suitable casting location.
And avoiding landing—was generally much safer.
Ordinary enemies couldn’t easily reach him.
Now he understood the feeling that Goblin Bat Knight from that night had—
Attacking enemies from above while they lacked countermeasures really was too satisfying.

However, after flying for a while, he quickly calmed down and landed again.
Becoming an "airborne turret" felt amazing—but the cost was no joke.
Casting spells mid-flight consumed much more magical energy than a simple additive 1+1.
Because maintaining two spells at once demanded extra energy.
It was fine for short bursts, but using it long-term placed very high demands on his total magical energy.
"You already mastered it?"
Е́ n u m а̊.і̆d
Arya asked in disbelief as she watched him land back on the bird.
After mastering【Fly】, Gauss had shared his next training goal with them.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Also being a spellcaster, she wasn’t the one attempting it, but she fully understood how difficult it would be.
【Fly】on its own was already tough to master, let alone stabilizing magical energy mid-air while casting other spells.
From her own perspective, it felt impossible.
Still, Gauss wasn’t her—so she was willing to believe he could pull it off.
Wеb ňōv̌ e̊ l̇ Е n u m̈a
Even if Gauss was the genius she believed him to be, surely it would take some time to figure it out, right?
How long had it even been?
And she had been around him almost every day.
She hadn’t seen him practicing much at all—

Except those nights when he left the village to hunt wild monsters in the nearby woods.
Could it be he’d been secretly squeezing in extra practice?
Ё n ú ḿ а
While they were resting, Gauss had still been working hard in secret.
Arya sucked in a sharp breath.
This was terrifying.
Someone more talented than you… was also working harder than you.
"Yes, I spent quite a bit of time thinking it through." Gauss nodded.
They were teammates—there was no need to hide changes in his combat style, especially since they would find out eventually.

"Quite a bit, huh? You’re terrifying," Arya shook her head.
Even if you counted Gauss’s secret nighttime training, it really hadn’t been that long. The number of days was plain to see.
"Good thing we’re not outsiders. If some witches found out about your progress, they’d probably tie you to a lab table."
She pretended to pull a sinister face as she warned him.
"There aren’t that many evil witches left these days, are there?" Gauss rolled his eyes at her.
Though both were spellcasters, witches differed from mages and warlocks. A witch’s power sources were more mixed—and they had a stronger spirit of inquiry.
Е nu mа̃
Back in the chaotic ages of ignorance, some witches had even gone as far as capturing live subjects for their research.
But after the establishment and growth of the Adventurer’s Guild, they had cracked down hard on such unrestrained witches.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Nowadays, apart from those registered with the guild, the number of wild witches was dwindling.
Many of their legacies had also been absorbed by the guild.
Under the looming threat of the Monster Nations, orderly civilizations like humanity generally remained united against outside threats, making recent years a golden age of development for adventurer society.
The number of adventurers had surged dramatically.
W̄ е̇b̀nov̊ е̊l̄ Е̂ n̈ǔ ḿ а́
"Let’s head toward the next village."
Having completed the 6000-kill objective, and with 8000 still a ways off, Gauss no longer scoured the land for monsters. He set off for the next leg of his journey.
Amid the forest, the party chatted quietly as their silhouettes gradually disappeared into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, Gauss and the others had passed through three more villages.

"Safe travels, Lord Gauss!"
"Come visit again next time!"
Éṅ u̇_m а̀ . і d
"Goodbye!!"
"I love you, Lord Gauss!"
Who was taking this chance to confess?
Gauss turned back toward the crowd, curious—because the voice had sounded rather coarse.
But there were too many villagers.
Shaking his head, he nudged his Chocobo forward, catching up with his snickering teammates.

"Why didn’t you stay? Someone just confessed to you—you’re way too popular, our dear captain."
Gauss didn’t respond to Arya’s teasing, and cleared his throat to change the subject.
"This is already the fifth village. We’re running low on some essential supplies. We need to head to the next town to restock."
After helping five villages, all four of them had undergone some subtle changes.
The villages varied in size—some warm and welcoming, some cautious—but all kinds of people could be met.
Clearing threats, healing the sick, repairing houses, training and mentoring militia—
Ŵ еb̊ no v е̌l Ên̈ ūmа
Before they knew it, their small team had directly changed the future of many lives.
Some villagers had been gravely ill and cured by Serandur. Others had learned combat techniques and set becoming an adventurer as their goal.

Houses and fences had sprouted resiliently from the muddy ground—solid defenses standing between monsters and humanity.
