Chapter 45 He's waiting for death

Thick, dark clouds slowly sank downward, making it oppressively difficult to breathe.

Mike stood atop a small hill, slightly tilting his head back, silently stacking his [Charge Up] ability. The CD for Charge Up is 10 seconds, but with Stormweaver's 50% CD reduction, it stacks every 5 seconds. It takes 30 stacks to reach full power, which requires 150 seconds, or 2 and a half minutes.

The boss hidden behind the clouds didn't keep Mike waiting too long and soon revealed its true form. It was a humanoid creature, about 10 feet tall, with muscles coiled like dragons, exuding a strong sense of power that delivered a significant visual impact. Its wings flapped in the air behind it. The gray wings were long and sharp, each flap stirring up a whirlwind, creating a terrifying momentum.

In front of Mike appeared an angel with black feathers. [This is a fallen angel with wings, yes, you guessed right, he was once an angel, but he was later corrupted by the power of a demon god.] [Oh, he also has a line to say, let's hear his cliché opening speech.]

"Mortal, worship me, kneel before me, and you shall gain immense power!" As expected, an extremely cliché opening line.

Mike continued to stack [Charge Up], casually responding, "And what's the price?" "Price? True power requires no price, only a heart that desires to grow stronger!" The fallen angel crossed his thick arms and looked down at Mike arrogantly, "I serve the fifth demon god, the former ruler of the Tower of Truth. Just offer your soul to me, remain forever loyal, and I will grant you great power!"

Mike couldn't help but roll his eyes. This spiel from the fallen angel was more suited to fooling a three-year-old. It had no effect on Mike! Mike was more curious about another issue. Since the second level of the Tower of Truth is a solo instance, and everyone encounters different monsters and bosses, how did this fallen angel precisely find him? Clearly, the fallen angel didn't know that Mike was actually Thor! That means...

"They've collectively corrupted the entire level of the instance. Anyone entering the second level during this period will encounter a demonized boss!" This was the only reasonable explanation! Mike need to find a way to purify the second level.

Mike's gaze towards the fallen angel gradually filled with murderous intent. This filth, better to be cleaved into ashes sooner!

"What did you deceive me about?" the fallen angel asked.

"Actually, I'm already 18 years old." The purpose of delaying time was achieved—Charge Up had stacked to 30 layers!

A new note appeared before Mike's eyes. [His health is only 120,000, and his resistance to Lightning magic is 80%, which means, you can easily finish him now.] [You're waiting for Charge Up, what is he waiting for?]

Mike slightly smiled, adding the second half of the sentence for the Eye of Truth, "He's waiting for death."

The fallen angel's ears twitched, his eyes furiously glaring, he harshly said, "Arrogant! Watch how I end your existence, you mere...." "Blah, blah, blah." Mike pointed forward with his staff, shouting lowly, "Thunderclap Strike!"

Boom— A massive red lightning bolt tore through the clouds, seemingly piercing the sky, and harshly struck the fallen angel's head, crushing everything! It didn't even give the fallen angel any time to react!

The fallen angel's eyes retained a look of shock, gradually turning to ash with the wind, becoming fertilizer for the wilderness ground beneath. In the moment before his death, he realized something. Thunderclap Strike, a Stormweaver exclusive skill. You are... Thor!!!

Unfortunately, this secret would forever sink into the embrace of the Grim Reaper. As fate revealed just the tip of the iceberg of truth to him, what awaited him was only eternal and real death!

Just as Mike struck down the fallen angel, the dark clouds in the sky cleared, and the ground of the second level of the Tower of Truth shook violently! "What's going on?!" Jessica stood on the back of a golden-winged roc, her soul still frightened, looking towards the ground in shock. Just now, the ground had cracked open a terrifying fissure, swallowing many monsters into it! Even Jessica nearly fell down!

"I've never heard of such a thing happening, what's going on!" While Jessica was puzzled, a crisp voice rang in her ears, coming from the Tower of Truth's world-wide announcement. "Congratulations to participant [Thor] for an SSSS-tier completion of the Tower of Truth's second level!" "Detection of contamination in the second level of the Tower of Truth, purifying now...." "Purification complete, participant [Thor]'s rewards will be calculated shortly!"

Jessica's eyes widened in shock. Thor, it's Thor again! He, he actually achieved an SSSS-tier completion again?!
