Chapter 36 I'm just here for the popcorn

36 I'm just here for the popcorn

The thick intent to kill was almost spilling out through the screen, potent enough to make children cry at night and flowers wither!

"Szzzz—"

Suddenly, the TV screen flickered and went black.

Mike, holding the power cord in his hand, said disdainfully,

"I thought Battle Lords were supposed to be tough. Why don't you come at me through the internet cable then?"

Having unplugged the demon cult leader's internet cable, Mike had no time for idle chatter.

[Eye of Truth]: If you make eye contact with him for more than 10 seconds, unknown dangers could arise!

In fact, Battle Lords could indeed kill from a distance!

Even the sacrificial array here was activated remotely.

"There's quite a stir here; the city defense department must have noticed by now. Clean up and evacuate quickly!"

Mike looked around.

The office, serving as the demon cult leader's safe house, originally contained many valuable items for emergencies.

Unfortunately, the previous battle was so intense that most of the items were destroyed.

Mike quickly salvaged a few valuable things from the ruins, too rushed to take a closer look, and stuffed them into his pockets.

"Time to bail!"

Before leaving, Mike didn't forget one crucial thing.

He took out the Lone Wolf badge and pressed it into the ashes where Arthas had died, leaving the imprint of a Lone Wolf badge!

A wolf travels miles, always leaving a trace.

"Let's move!"

Mike jumped out of the third-floor window, landing gracefully on the concrete below, looking very dashing.

"Windstride Slash!"

Mike appeared behind a dummy at high speed and casually stowed it in his backpack.

This wasn't Mike being frugal, but rather him trying to erase any traces of his actions to avoid any clues about his true identity being discovered.

His figure flickering, Mike's mastery of the Windstride Slash grew more proficient, handling it with ease.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

All the decoy dummies were collected by Mike, and most traces were cleaned up.

Mike's figure disappeared into the city's night horizon.

5 minutes after the battle, 4 minutes after Mike left.

The silence of the night was shattered by the sound of sirens as dozens of vehicles sped into the old factory, surrounding an office building.

Hundreds of elite Battle Soldiers jumped from the vehicles, taking up strategic positions with their guns and weapons all aimed at the office building.

A man with a megaphone, full of confidence, shouted,

"Everyone inside, listen up, you are..."

"Shut up!"

A roar exploded in the sky, and an old man with blue flames above his head flew overhead, standing above the crowd.

Possibly even stronger!

This realization shocked all three of them.

A Battle Lords level demon creature!

It had been nearly fifty years since one had reached Earth!

If a Battle Lord level demon creature were to arrive, the three Battle Chiefs present had no chance of resisting.

"Regardless, we're the closest, we must take the lead."

Blaze Morrow slowly said, "According to the 'Emergency Procedures Manual,' I hold the highest rank here and command authority on the scene. You two will follow my orders!"

Before the two could object, Blaze Morrow continued,

"In a moment, I'll enter the office building to inspect the Abyssal Sacrifice Array and gather intelligence. If I encounter a demon creature, I will engage in combat and gather more information. Without my order, you are not to join the battle!"

"If I fall, Cheetah will take over command on the scene and organize the evacuation. Understood?"

"No way!"

The man known as Cheetah, a middle-aged man with a furious expression, clearly disagreed with the plan.

He too was a Battle Chief. Why should Blaze Morrow charge in alone?!

Inside the office building, even the weakest was a Battle Chiefs level demon creature. Fighting one was almost a certain death!

Blaze Morrow's plan clearly put him in extreme danger.

"Any objections can wait until after we handle this emergency!"

Blaze Morrow ignored the opposition, took a deep breath, his blue flames solidifying slightly, swaying with the wind.

"If the opportunity is right, this battle might be my chance to achieve the rank of Battle Lord!"

"Ha, Blaze Battle Lords, I like the sound of that!"

With that, he strode forward, his aura climbing to its peak, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, carrying an unmatched momentum as he entered the office building!

The place where the abyssal demon creature descended, Battle Chief level, even Battle Lord level demon creatures, were lurking in the shadows!

"Scum, look me in the eye!"

Blaze Morrow's roar echoed from the office building, filled with boundless fighting spirit.

"Come out, and then... die!"

...

"What's going on, why all the commotion?"

Hearing the omnipresent alarm sounds, Mike quickened his pace, not looking back at the spectacle behind him.

After killing Arthas, the Abyssal Sacrifice Array had been broken, and the danger was already resolved.

"Why is a level-one emergency being called? Did I miss something?"

Mike reviewed everything, sure he hadn't missed anything.

Under the effect of the Eye of Truth, nothing could escape Mike's notice.

As he walked quickly, he muttered to himself,

"It's not related to me, not related to me."

"I'm just a passing student, I'm just here for the popcorn, yes, that's right!"
