MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage-Chapter 4 Salamander Ring
The Fire Salamander was an Elite monster!
Elite monster is a stronger version of the usual monster, they are very rare. For example this fire Salamander has more attributes, is a higher level and even has an extra Spell. If killed, an Elite monster can drop more loot and give more EXP.
While I was inspecting its Stats, the < Blindness > Status effect on the Salamander ran out. Eyeing at me the monster opened its mouth and started channeling Mana into his mouth before releasing a fireball in my direction.
Mages don't usually have high agility and would not be able to dodge most of the spells. Luckily I'm a demon and since I didn't choose a Subclass my Attributes are a bit more balanced. My agility is high compared to other mages.
Rolling to the side I managed to evade the fireball. I still felt the heat of the flame while it flew by my side. All the sensations are implemented in the game. One can feel pain, pleasure.... You can even taste food and smell flowers. Most of the players complained about the pain part, but soon shut their mouths, because creators of the game didn't give them any attention.
Throwing another Darkness blast I distanced myself from the monster.
- 120 Critical Damage!
~ Elite Fire Salamander suffered from Status Effect < Confusion >
~ Temporary Stun
~ Duration → 2 Sec
Early game Elite monsters are easy to deal with, because they lack powerful skills and spells. At later stages of the games Elite monsters are considered to be similar to bosses that can only be taken care of by a group of people or a powerful player.
While the monster was stunned, my Darkness Blast was on cooldown. Quickly dashing towards the monster I used my staff and struck the Salamander with all my might.
- 21 Physical Damage!

Picking up all the loot in the area I quickly climbed into the tree before the bleed Status effect could kick in.

Taking a Healing potion out of my inventory I quickly chucked it down regenerating my HP to full.

< ATTRIBUTES >
HP: 51 <+1> plete the quest lot of times to finally get the item I want.
Fortunately all the loot I get while killing the Salamanders could be sold for Gold Coins to a Merchant in the middle of the village.
Even though the Demon Merchant is very stingy with money and usually underpays for your items. To get on his good side and sell or buy stuff for a reasonable price one has to complete a Hidden quest that involves finding a lost medallion of the merchant. The medallion is located in one of the abandoned houses in the village.
It wouldn't be that bad if the house wasn't overrun by ghosts. Later on in the game Demon's can evolve their race into a ghost, but that is still unknown for now.
Leaving the forest I saw more and more people around the village. I didn't like that I had to literally squeeze through the crowd. I was already waiting for the week to pass when all the players would notice the shortcomings of the demon class.
Seeing the Old Man in the distance I somehow managed to pass through the people before interacting with John.
" You've completed the quest really fast... Hmmm? Let's see.. "
John started mumbling under his breath while inspecting me from head to toe. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
" I see... You've defeated an Elite monster. Good job young one and thank you for your help! "

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It seems like I'm blessed By Fortuna.
