William cautiously looked at the Vengeful Wraith’s leader. That monster was extremely fast, and his Wind Control could only sense the movement of 25 meters around him. The monster’s speed of crossing the distance of 25 meters was too fast. The monster had already arrived behind William just as he sensed it.
That made it difficult for William to catch it.
Moreover, the intelligence level of the leader of the Vengeful Wraith was also extremely high. It could even find a way to interrupt the Dragon Breath.
William noticed that the Vengeful Wraith’s leader looked at him with a little hatred.
Perhaps he could use this hatred.
William took a deep breath and then suddenly darted into the forest on the side.
The forest was already bare because of the Dragon Breath. It was a large open space, and there was no place to hide.
The Vengeful Wraith’s leader caught up with William with its fast speed.
William opened his mouth to release the Dragon Breath, and the Vengeful Wraith’s leader immediately retreated to about thirty meters away. This distance could ensure its safety, but making sure that William did not have the opportunity to run away at the same time.
William was nervous. That also sounded a warning bell for him, not to underestimate any monster. They were not low in intelligence. They had figured out the range of the Dragon Breath so quickly.
William had the Dragon Breath in his mouth. He turned around and wanted to run again. The Vengeful Wraith’s leader immediately followed him and let out a shrill cry at the same time.
The group of Vengeful Wraith behind it immediately surrounded William, but they were fifty meters radius away from him.
The Vengeful Wraith’s movements were particularly agile. They laid on the ground and used all their strength on their limbs when they ran, just like leopards.
William took a deep breath and used his Endowed Supernatural Ability, Wind Control. The wind within 25 meters was instantly controlled by William.
He could feel that the Vengeful Wraith’s leader was already within 20 meters of him and immediately turned his head and used his Dragon Breath.
The Vengeful Wraith’s leader quickly retreated.
William directly controlled the wind and pushed the Dragon Breath towards the Vengeful Wraith’s leader.
The wind carried the Dragon Breath and enveloped the Vengeful Wraith’s leader like a fire tornado.
Whoosh!
William could feel the Vengeful Wraith’s leader’s aura getting weaker and weaker. He controlled the Wind Element and directed the fire tornado towards other directions. The Vengeful Wraith fled at high speed wherever it passed. All the Vengeful Wraith at the scene had already fled in a short while.
To the Vengeful Wraith race, the death of their leader meant that the race had dispersed. Everyone only cared about escaping for their lives. The first thing they would do was not to avenge for the sake of their leader when they were safe but to fight among themselves. Then, they would choose a leader to lead everyone in foraging.
William looked at the dying Vengeful Wraith’s leader not far away after dispersing his Dragon Breath.
He walked forward, and the Vengeful Wraith’s leader suddenly opened its eyes. It used all its strength to pounce at William with a flash of green light. It waved its sharp nails, wanting to tear William apart.
“Ignorant ones are fearless.”

William sneered. He raised his foot and stomped down fiercely again. The head of the Vengeful Wraith’s leader instantly exploded.
Some sparks appeared on the soles of his shoes. He rubbed the soil twice to disperse the sparks.
The gathering of Fire Elements had allowed him to understand them a little better when he used Dragon Breath just now. Therefore, he had also absorbed some Fire Elements when he crushed the Vengeful Wraith’s leader.
However, he could only be considered to have a relatively strong perception of Fire Elements at the moment. He could barely use it. There was still a long way to go before he could truly control Fire Elements and condense them like Dragon Breath.
However, he had the Stealing System, so the distance between them would be shortened very quickly. He would be able to completely master the Fire Elements very soon as long as he could absorb more of the Fire Element monsters’ Endowed Supernatural Ability and steal them.
William laughed out loud, looking at the crushed Vengeful Wraith’s leader. It was his first time killing such a powerful monster. He was still a little worried When he lured the other party into the trap, but the blood in his body was also boiling. The more he fought, the braver he became.
Moreover, such a battle made it easy for him to accumulate battle experience.
The method of using the Wind Control Ability to expand the range of the Dragon Breath was the idea that was triggered during the battle just now. The Dragon Breath would be able to unleash its power and spread more flexibly with the help of the Wind Control Ability.
“Steal the Endowed Supernatural Ability!”
William shouted softly at the corpse of the Vengeful Wraith’s leader.
The huge scarlet hand appeared out of thin air again. The sharp nails touched the body of the Vengeful Wraith’s leader, and a green ball of light flew out and landed on the palm. The big hand stretched out toward William.
“Ding! Stealing successful. Stole an E-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability: [Poisonous Breath].”
The green ball of light floated on the huge palm. There was even a claw pattern on the ball of light, and relevant information transmitted into his mind.
[ Poisonous Breath, (E-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability): An Endowed Supernatural Ability that originated from the Vengeful Wraith race. The Vengeful Wraith was born from the Vengeful Wraith’s vengeful thoughts and rotten corpses of intelligent creatures. Due to some special reasons, the Vengeful Wraith’s leader was chased out and began to hunt the humans at the edge of the city.]

[The Vengeful Wraiths carry varieties of bacteria in them due to the long-term consumption of rotten flesh. Their breathing carries toxins. Any creature’s brain would be corroded, and their nervous system would also paralyze if they inhaled this toxin for a long time. Furthermore, the wound would be difficult to heal, and the result would be continuous bleeding, making the prey losing the ability to resist.]
[After choosing to make the ability permeant, the body would continue to release the toxin for 24 hours.]
“Chased out? Is this a Vengeful Wraith abandoned by the race?”
William was a little puzzled, but he didn’t receive any more clues, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Instead, he focused on the price of making the ability permanent given by the system.
Continuously releasing the poison for twenty-four hours?
Wouldn’t he become a moving source of the poison then?
William was a little hesitant. He didn’t choose to make the ability permanent immediately. Instead, he walked around and stole all the Endowed Supernatural Ability of the Vengeful Wraiths. There were already more than fifty green light balls in the giant scarlet hand.
William asked the system after collecting them, “Will these innate abilities disperse if I don’t choose to make it permanent now?”
A cold mechanical voice sounded in his ear.
“They won’t disperse. You can…”
The sound of hurried horse hooves was heard from afar before the system could finish speaking.
William didn’t bother to listen to the system. He didn’t want others to discover his secret, so he quickly ran back to Mr. George’s side. He placed one hand on the body of the Ice Field Snow Wolf and the other on Mr. George’s body, activating the Endowed Supernatural Ability [ Poison Immunity ].
The poison on them disappeared in a flash of light, and red blood appeared from their wounds. It was clear that the poison had been purified.
“Hmm.”
Mr. George let out an exclamation. He was knocked out by the poison and naturally had to wake up when the poison had been removed.
William quickly laid down beside Mr. George and began to pretend to be asleep.
Although there were no wounds on his body, his clothes were torn by the Vengeful Wraith. It could be explained as he was protected by Mr. George and was not seriously injured.
George woke up as soon as William laid down. He sat up with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at his old partner, the Ice Field Snow Wolf, and then looked at his student.
“Is…this the world after death?”
