Chapter 146: Try and die



Forest of Truth outskirts.

Mike stood over the corpses of several demon creatures, each sliced into precisely 108 pieces. The deceased remained calm and even gave Shadow Seven a thumbs up.

Earlier, while Mike and Shadow Seven were chatting, these demon creatures had suddenly attacked. Shadow Seven, who had confidently claimed that no demon creatures would appear, felt humiliated and enraged. So, she had sliced them up a bit more than necessary.

Looking at the corpses, Mike said softly, "These are from the Ebon Abyss Plane."

"Impossible!" Shadow Seven instinctively retorted, stepping forward to examine them closely. "They are indeed from the Ebon Abyss... strange..."

"Seven Bro, what's strange about it?"

As someone eager to show off her knowledge, Shadow Seven wouldn't miss any opportunity to educate Deathsinger.

"You're young, it's normal not to know," Shadow Seven cleared her throat and said in her raspy voice, "The Ebon Abyss Plane holds significant strategic value because it produces C- grade minerals, even though it's a small plane..."

Mike: C-grade minerals are considered a specialty?

From Shadow Seven's tone, the Ebon Abyss Plane had considerable strategic value, typically heavily garrisoned. Even with the great battle starting, humanity wouldn't easily abandon it. After all, mineral production was crucial for humanity.

"It looks like the Ebon Abyss Plane has been abandoned..." Shadow Seven muttered. She didn't understand why this change had occurred. But Mike knew exactly why.

With Mike's high-quality mineral supply, humanity's mineral needs had shifted. The once- critical Ebon Abyss Plane had become almost worthless, its strategic value plummeting. Withdrawing the garrisoned corps made sense.

"Look closely," Shadow Seven pointed to the demon creature's sliced bones, explaining, "Their bones have traces of silver. These can be refined into C-grade minerals."

Mike glanced at it, not very interested, "Oh."

"Why are you just standing there? Start scraping the bones!" Shadow Seven was puzzled, "Don't you collect spoils after killing enemies?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Uh, isn't that inappropriate?"

"You're too young," Shadow Seven said, pretending to be wise, educating Mike, "The higher your level, the greater your daily expenses. You'll need money for many things, but ways to earn it are limited."

Ways to earn money are limited? Mike didn't understand. Isn't earning money as simple as waking up to find thousands of Battle Lord merits in your account?

Well, not everyone has two mines like Mike.

Shadow Seven even used herself as an example, "Recently, in the Inferno Abyss Plane, I hunted King Cerberus and Chaos Claw Tiger, earning only a few hundred Battle Lord merits. Deathsinger, with your lower strength, you need to save and earn merits even more."

Mike: ???

fingers,

"To hide my identity, I can't use Thunderclap Strike or Wind's Reach. I can't summon Cerberus or Chaos Claw Tiger..."

As he pondered how to conceal his identity, a group of demon creatures charged at Mike, full

of aggression. The leading demon creature had a blood-red gem embedded in its forehead, a symbol of a one-tier Battle Chief.

The Battle Chief demon creature roared, "Kill them all, and you'll be richly rewarded!"

"Kill!"

The battle cries were deafening, irritating Mike. He glanced at them, casually waving the

Force of Nature,

"Lightning Storm!"

With 30 layers of Charge Up, combined with [Lightning Storm] for crowd control, Mike unleashed massive damage instantly! Under the wild lightning, everything turned to ashes. The Battle Chief-level demon creature was also instantly killed!

...

Boom-

The sound of thunder echoed from the front, and Kaelum's face tightened.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"That noise, it must be a forbidden spell. Could there be a Battle Chief guarding the front?"

Elena nodded in agreement, "If it's not a Battle Chief, it's hard to make such a commotion."

"According to the defense map, Guardian Shadow is responsible for the area ahead."

Kaelum's face showed eager anticipation, "Let's go say hello and see which Master it is. I have

a few classmates in Guardian Shadow, and they're all ranked now."

"Alright, you go say hello."

Anderson nodded, speaking in a deep voice.

"Are you crazy? Try and die."
