Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

"Hey, how long can you maintain your shield?" Raydon asked after some deliberation.

''It only requires 40 mana to activate it, but after that, each time an enemy attacks, it uses up extra mana to fend it off. I can keep the shield open for as long as there are no enemies touching it. '' Fehim began detailing his defensive-type skill as soon as he realized Raydon was considering a strategy.

''With my current mana regeneration, I can probably hold 50 of them per minute, as just now, two of them briefly touched the shield and only used 2 mana. ''

'Damn, he also has more mana regeneration than I do. ' Once more, Raydon muttered while grimacing.

According to what he stated, when one of these dark souls touched his shield, he only expended one mana. Since he had enough mana to fend off fifty of them per minute, he had at least fifty mana regeneration per minute. This was an enormous difference compared to Raydon's current average mana regeneration of 8 mana.

''All right, can you jump on that rock once more and pull a few of them? I want to see if I can kill them with my skill. '' Raydon continued while indicating a nearby rock.

''Okay, but you need to use that skill to pull me again, '' Fehim said. Without using a defensive or an offensive skill, he was unable to avoid the black spirits that would attack him shortly after jumping onto the rock.

He spread his wings once more and jumped in the direction of the stone after seeing Raydon nod. The same thing happened again while he was in midair and his foot had not yet made contact with the rock. From the depths of the night sky came a swarm of black spirits that suddenly sped down upon him.

''Hook.''

Raydon started to pull him with his hook skill before the spirits attacked him, and he then attacked with his second skill.

''Flame Burst. ''

Jet black flames from his hand, fueled by his stamina, erupted with perfect pressure on the spirits 10 meters away, engulfing them in flames.

Then, Raydon heard his favorite music from this world playing in his ears.

*DING*

He killed all five spirit slaves in the group with his 30-second-long skill in just 5 seconds.

''Awesome. '' When he saw that his skill had a deadly effect on the spirits, he exclaimed with joy.

''You have a really good skill there. However, the smell alone is enough to give me a headache each time you use it. '' Raydon's Flame Burst skill smelled far worse than his own odor to Fehim.

He ignored Fehim's remark and said. "It seems like my farming plan will go off without a hitch."'

''Farming? '' Fehim didn't understand what Raydon meant, so he asked, but his question went unanswered.

''Hey, get back up on that rock and get your shield ready.  I'll be following you, '' Raydon said.

''Uh… Okay. '' Fehim accepted Raydon's plan without hesitation and jumped once more onto the rock that could accommodate two people.

''Dissolving Shield. ''

This time, however, Fehim was prepared for the arrival of the spirit slaves and immediately activated his defensive skill. The spirits that were attacking him made contact with the shield and withdrew, leaving puffs of yellow steam in their retreat. This time, Fehim was able to place his foot on the rock.

''Stay steady. '' Raydon called out and chanted.

''Hook.''

Fehim glanced at the hook circling his body and maintained his weight in accordance with Raydon's instructions. This time, instead of attempting to pull Fehim towards him, Raydon began to pull himself toward him by taking advantage of his heavy body.

Raydon yanked himself quickly towards Fehim and joined him on the rock.

He looked at the spirit slaves who were still trying to attack them by crashing into Fehim's shield and said, "Keep them away."

He then reached into his dimensional storage and took out his great sword, thrusting it with all of his might into the rock. It was quickly stabbed on it due to its sharpness and the fact that the rock wasn't all that hard.

'At least I had enough strength for this. ' Raydon snorted. He would need to ask Fehim for assistance if he was unable to complete this.

Then he leaned back against the great sword, which was stabbed into the rock and remained fixedly in place, and chanted while opening his palm forward.

''Flame Burst. ''

Black, pressurized flames started to shoot out of Raydon's hand.

'Yes! ' Raydon exclaimed internally.

The outcome matched his expectations. Under the influence of the flames from his hand, the rock, which had been floating in the air as if it had no weight, began to speed up and move forward.

''Hahahah, that's it. Keep your guard up and watch the other rocks to make sure we don't run into them. '' Raydon yelled with delight and informed Fehim, who was stunned.

''Sure. You must be a genius, I suppose. '' Fehim, who was speechless from shock, said. The method employed by Raydon was significantly more effective than their jumping from stone to stone.

The speed of the stone, which was accelerating, soon surpassed that of the spirit slaves. Seeing Raydon and Fehim, the spirit slaves descended from the sky to attack them. However, because of Fehim's shield, they were unable to attack directly from the front and instead had to go around behind them, where they met their deaths in the back by Raydon's still-active flames.

''Now, this is true farming. ''

Raydon said gleefully as he watched every spirit slave that had descended from the sky to attack them and foolishly followed behind them perish in the flames. The system's messages kept coming in nonstop.

Fehim turned his head to look at Raydon and realized what the farming he had just mentioned meant. He was gaining all the experience points, but Fehim merely sighed in response.

'I feel like he is using me for his farming. ' Fehim thought. He couldn't share their experience points because he wasn't dealing any damage to the spirit slaves, and there was nothing he could do.
