Chapter 19: Inhibition Orb

Chapter 19: Inhibition Orb



"Windstride Slash!"

Mike moved like the wind, leaving afterimages in the air as he appeared behind a minotaur, tapping it lightly on the back of the head with his staff.

-264!

The minotaur collapsed, dissolving into specks of white light and dropping a small pile of copper coins.

"The monsters on the first level are generally between levels 1-10. They're too weak for me, and killing them won't even net me any experience," Mike noted as he looked towards the depths of Thunder Valley.

From deep within, the sounds of thunder and roaring winds spilled out, sending shivers down the spine of any listener.

It seemed something monstrous was stirring in Thunder Valley, causing creatures to flee their territories in panic.

Mike's eyes sparkled with anticipation for the upcoming battle. "It's that big guy inside that might actually make this interesting."

With his SSS-tier talent, Eye of Truth, no secrets could be hidden from Mike. The information about the Minotaur Battle General was laid bare before him.

[Minotaur Battle General, a creature that should not be on the first level, summoned by the sixth demon god of the Abyssal Plane!]

Looking at the description of the Minotaur Battle General, Mike couldn't help but chuckle. "So, they're specifically targeting me."

Due to a server-wide announcement, the whole world knew that [Thor] had transitioned into a Stormweaver. The demon god, aiming to block Thor's path of growth, sent a creature focused on magic defense.

Others had better talents, better equipment, better resources. They had it all!

What could James possibly use to compete with these prodigies? Clenching his fists, a flash of defiance sparked in his eyes. He was desperate to become stronger.

"Attention everyone, we're about to head out!" someone announced.

"Right, let's not let that earlier warrior beat us to the boss kill."

This joke sent everyone into a roar of laughter, filling the air with a relaxed vibe. The hundred talents got ready, slowly advancing deeper into Thunder Valley under the command of an S-

tier talent.

...

Outside Thunder Valley, two figures appeared one after the other.

"Jessica, I thought you said we weren't coming to Thunder Valley?" Cain asked, following behind Jessica, puzzled.

"I'm worried Mike might have already gone in!" Jessica frowned, her expression anxious. "I gave him the map. If he's gone into Thunder Valley, wouldn't that be my fault?"

This was no way to repay a favor; it felt more like she was setting Mike up! Jessica had to make a trip to Thunder Valley, even if she couldn't find Mike, at least she'd have tried.

"Cain, you go back. I'll walk a bit further inside."

"Listen to yourself, Mike is your classmate, but he's also my good buddy!" Cain rolled his eyes. "Besides, dying in the Tower of Truth just sends you back to the Core City of Truth,

what's there to fear?"

Though Cain spoke lightly, the weakness period after death was quite lengthy; a death meant

wasting the whole day!

Jessica didn't argue further, instead pointing to a pet on her shoulder.

"This little guy can sense danger and avoid it. It'll lead us on the safest path, avoiding too

many monster encounters."

The monsters inside Thunder Valley were high-level, and aside from the boss, the other creatures were not something the two could easily handle. With the guiding pet, Jessica felt

confident enough to explore deeper.

"Stick close to me and don't get lost," Jessica instructed.

"Got it!" Cain nodded eagerly, urging them to start their journey.

Together, they slowly made their way deeper into Thunder Valley.
