Chapter 39 Forbidden Spell Scroll
The spoils laid out before Mike were all precious collections of the fourth demon cult Leader, untouched by the damage from his previous battle with Arthas, a testament to their exceptional quality!
On the far left was an irregular sphere about the size of a baseball, its black surface speckled with gold, extraordinarily heavy. This small piece alone weighed over a thousand pounds! Mike, with a Strength attribute over 300, could barely move it. It now lay on the floor, the tiles underneath crushed into powder by its weight.
[Eclipse Meteorite (1124 pounds), a specialty of the Abyssal Plane, refined to be incredibly sharp and excellent at armor penetration, commonly used in crafting Battle Chief-level melee weapons.]
"Nice find!" Mike was thrilled inside; this was a primary material for crafting Battle Chief-level weapons! From his recent encounter with the Minotaur Battle General, Mike was certain that his enemies would aggressively target Thor! The first level's boss had already used an [Inhibition Orb], an SS-tier special item, to counteract mage output. The path ahead for Mike, although primarily skilled in lightning magic, would only get tougher. He knew he needed to master additional skills.
"They target mages, so I'll secretly master some close combat skills and surprise everyone in battle!" Mike was clear that to advance further, he needed to develop a well-rounded set of abilities. However, human energy is limited, and realistically, it wasn't feasible to rapidly improve in melee combat. A suitable weapon was the most direct way to significantly enhance his close combat and survival capabilities!
Placing the Eclipse Meteorite on the floor, Mike recognized the stone's great value and knew it would require substantial resources to utilize effectively.
His gaze then shifted to the second item, a somewhat tattered scroll!
[Forbidden Spell Scroll: Can imprint forbidden spells for release, maintaining 80% of the original spell's power, each use consumes 5 durability points.
Durability: 55/100
Stored spells: 0
"It's actually a demon cult list!" Mike grabbed paper and pen, copying down the names from the document. He had once reported a Battle General and received 30,000 gold coins; the weakest on this list were fifth-tier Battle General, with bounties up to 100,000 gold coins each. Reporting everyone on this list could net at least 10 million gold coins in rewards!
Looking at the list of dozens of names, Mike reflected. Just this morning, he was worried about a million gold coins. Now, by simply writing dozens of reports and submitting them, he could easily earn 10 million gold coins.
"This money is both easy and satisfying to earn!" Reporting demon cult followers, Mike felt no guilt. Each one was blood-stained from head to toe, embodying filth and evil.
Setting the list aside, this document was truly worth its weight in gold. "Looking over the haul, this trip's gains are far from small, even far exceeding expectations!" Mike looked around at the Eclipse Meteorite, the Forbidden Spell Scroll, both of which he would keep for personal use. The damaged staff would stay as a collectible for now, and the demon cult followers' list was essentially a check for 10 million gold coins.
"Time to tidy up, I haven't even had dinner yet." Mike stored everything back into his storage space, casually picking up the Lone Wolf badge. He had set it to silent mode during the battle. Switching it back to normal, the Lone Wolf badge suddenly began to vibrate intensely.
"You have 19,827 unread messages!"
"Buzzzz—"
"You have 20,193 unread messages!"
What was going on? Mike was shocked to find his voicemail nearly bursting at the seams. He opened the first voice message.
"Dear Master, hello! I have a piece of equipment that needs appraisal, name your price! I absolutely won't haggle with you!"
"What's this?" Mike glanced through, finding all the voice messages similar, all seeking his expertise in equipment appraisal.
