I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

The four people walked through the dense forest.

Gradually, the surrounding trees became sparse.

"Boss Lin Mo, look over there!"

Han Mengqing pointed into the distance and exclaimed excitedly, "Is that the temple? It's huge!"

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.

A magnificent complex of buildings stood faintly visible under the dim sky.

It was an extremely large temple complex, surrounded by a towering wall.

Despite the erosion of time, one can still feel an overwhelming sense of antiquity and solemnity.

The enormous stone pillars pierced the sky, as if supporting the rolling thunderclouds overhead.

Every now and then, large bolts of lightning would strike the temple's dome, creating dazzling arcs of electricity.

"The Temple of Thunderfire... its imposing presence truly lives up to its reputation."

Han Mengyao looked at the magnificent building, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

Lin Mo was also quite shocked.

This orange-quality temple dungeon is definitely something special.

He glanced at his level panel.

Current level: Lv.24 (20%)

I just cleared out a few more waves of monsters, and my level has reached 24.

After clearing this dungeon, I should be able to reach level 25.

There are only 5 levels left to reach level 30.

Then you can unlock the fourth elemental skill slot and adopt a new family member.

"Let's go, let's go."

Lin Mo turned his gaze back to the group of buildings and addressed the group.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Han Mengqing cheered.

The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the gate of the temple complex.

……

After crossing the high threshold, a huge temple square comes into view.

The square was paved with thick bluestone slabs, with withered yellow grass growing in the gaps.

A bronze incense burner, three people tall, stands in the center.

On both sides of the square, several ancient, charred cypress trees stand in neat rows, their branches reaching towards the sky like ghostly claws.

On either side of the stone steps leading to the main hall stand two tall guardian stone statues, their eyes wide open in anger, holding vajras, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.

at this time,

A series of information prompts appeared on everyone's screen.

Welcome to the forecourt of the Temple of Thunder and Fire!

Only the bravest who pass the test of the temple guardians are qualified to enter the main hall and pay homage to the final deity.

[Start the challenge?]

[Note: There will be one minute of preparation time after starting the challenge.]

"Time to get to work."

Lin Mo clicked "Yes" without any hesitation.

Han Mengyao, Chu Lingxuan, and Han Mengqing also clicked to confirm.

The challenge has begun!

[Countdown: 00:59... 00:58...]

Looking at the countdown numbers, Han Mengqing felt both nervous and a little excited. "I wonder what this gatekeeper looks like, and how tough he is."

Lin Mo said calmly, "No matter what it is, it's just a gatekeeper. As long as its health bar is revealed, it can kill even a god."

Upon hearing this, the three women all turned to look at Lin Mo.

Although this statement sounds a bit pretentious and childish, it depends on the person you're talking to.

If it's Lin Mo, then I have to admit he certainly has the right to act so arrogantly.

A minute passes in the blink of an eye.

[The challenge begins!]

Rumble—!!!

As the countdown reached zero, the entire square suddenly began to shake violently.

The two tall stone statues that originally stood on either side of the stone steps came to life.

The stone skin on its body began to crack inch by inch, revealing the body inside that flowed with a dark red light.

Their stone eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light.

"roar--!!!"

Two stone statues, wielding enormous stone vajras, slowly descended the stone steps.

【Temple Guardian - Thunderfire Vajra (BOSS)】

[Level: 25]

[Special Feature: Reduces lightning and fire damage by 80%]

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Good guy.

The gatekeeper is actually a BOSS-level character?

As expected of an orange-quality temple dungeon, it's truly high-quality.

"Let's do it!"

Lin Mo's voice was calm as he quickly issued the order:

"Mengqing applies buffs, Lingxuan applies shields, and Mengyao applies crowd control!"

"receive!"

The three of them already had an excellent working relationship.

With a wave of Han Mengqing's staff, a familiar halo appeared above Lin Mo's head.

Chu Lingxuan slammed her shield into the ground, and a golden light shield rose up.

At the same time, Han Mengyao transformed into a blur and rushed out, her spear radiating a chilling aura.

"Extreme Cold Region!"

boom--!!

A burst of cold air erupted instantly, and the two Thunderfire Vajras, who had just taken two steps, froze abruptly.

Thick, solid ice spread wildly down their legs, instantly restricting the movement of the two enormous creatures.

Lin Mo watched this scene and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He raised one hand.

"Come on, Little Fire, Little Earth, Little Thunder, let's give it a family triple whammy!"

[Earth Shield Spell user excitedly: Big brother! Third brother! Watch me! This time it's second brother's turn to carry you!]

This is the first time since its inception that "Earth Shield" has truly served as the main attacker, fighting alongside its eldest and third brothers!

[Fireball Spell scoffed: Look at you, so capable.]

Sizzle—!

A violent lightning net instantly covered the ice sculpture, activating the electrocution status!

Then,

A pillar of blazing fire!

Multiple exploding fireballs!

Boom boom boom—!

Pillars of fire shot into the sky, and fireballs bombarded the area.

next moment,

Lin Mo stomped his foot suddenly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

The earth shook and mountains trembled; a thousand rocks pierced!

Rumble—!!!

The square instantly crumbled!

Beneath the two Thunderfire Vajras, rock spikes, with unparalleled penetrating power, pierced wildly from the ground!

Under the influence of the electrocution state and Han Mengqing's damage-increasing buff.

Its massive body was pierced directly by the earth spikes, and then completely disintegrated in the explosion of thunder and fire!

Rock fragments flew everywhere.

[Congratulations, you have defeated the Lv.25 Temple Guardian]

[Earth Shield Spell's voice choked with emotion yet brimming with pride: Waaah... So cool... Second Brother, I'm so cool...]

[Earth Shield Technique] looked at the other two family members: "Big brother, third brother, did you see that? The three of us brothers working together is simply invincible!"

Even the "Fireball" spell didn't bother it: "Alright, you're not bad, that last move was actually pretty cool."

[Lightning Strike Technique: Hmm, not bad.]

With the approval of his family, "Earth Shield" felt like his entire skill had been elevated, and he was bubbling with happiness.

The smoke of battle has cleared.

The once flat and magnificent temple square has now been completely reduced to ruins.

The bluestone slabs were all shattered and overturned, most of the side halls on both sides collapsed, and even the ancient cypress trees were uprooted.

"Well……"

Han Mengqing looked at the devastated scene, her lips twitching slightly:

"This...this dungeon is of such poor quality! The temple's completely collapsed, how are we even going to get the final boss out?"

Chu Lingxuan looked at the surrounding ruins and explained:

"Meng Qing, I don't think it's the dungeon quality that's bad, it's that Lin Mo is just too overpowered..."

"The person who designed this dungeon probably never imagined that someone would use an earth-type ultimate move like 'Earthquake' within the level restriction of 20-25..."

"In my memory, those who can skillfully use this move are basically level 60 or above earth-type archmages."

After listening, Han Mengqing nodded thoughtfully:

"That seems...to make a lot of sense."

Lin Mo remained calm: "Don't worry, as long as we haven't cleared the level, the BOSS will definitely appear."

After speaking, he pointed to the ruins of the main hall in the distance:

"Let's go take a look."
