Chapter 18: Epic-Level Achievement
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the other Assassins heard about it, they came over to take a look. They had all come into contact with Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts before and their corpses were the real deal.
"Phew!"
Someone took a deep breath to calm himself down.
An Elite Exotic Beast, which could barely be killed by fifty people besieging it, had died here just like that with its corpse being severely burnt.
"What on earth happened here?"
Everyone was shocked.
"The Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts, who killed them?"
The Assassins who had come to scout for information were looking for more clues as more shocking scenes appeared one after another. It wasn't just one Elite-Tier Exotic Beast that had died here...
A shocking amount of Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts had died!
One was already jarring enough, but this many?!
"Could it be that they were killed by the Boss?" An Assassin suggested.
All of them felt that it made sense.
There were so many Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts, it would be impossible that this was done by a human, no one was this strong.
This would only make sense if this was the result of a conflict between the Boss and the Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts.
"It must be because of the Boss, as a human could never do this."
The Assassin's expression was solemn.
"So many Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts died tragically. The Boss is probably more powerful than we thought... Even with 200 people, we might not even be enough to be its opponent."
"We might need to advise Burton to give up on fighting the Boss."
"After all... It doesn't look like we can fight it no matter how we look at it."
They looked at the corpses all over the ground, and their hearts trembled.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying an existence it was to kill so many Elite-Tier Exotic Beasts.
Forget about 200 people, could 2,000 people defeat it?
"Wait."
Just as they were about to send a message to Burton, one of the Assassins made a new discovery. At first, he wasn't sure, but after carefully identifying it, he couldn't help but cry out.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
The other Assassins surrounded them.
"Look... Look..."
"This corpse..."
"Doesn't it look like the Boss we ambushed?"
"??"
Everyone was suddenly horrified, their hairs stood on end.
Was this for real?
Could the boss they had imagined slaughtering all these Elite Exotic Beasts, had also died here? That was impossible?! Who could have done such a thing?!
Everyone carefully examined it for a while, shock running through them. They were all feeling the same thing, and were only waiting for someone to point it out.
"It seems..."
"It's indeed the Boss."
No one objected.
Only the sounds of breathing could be heard.
It was no longer a situation that shocked them, but a situation that had already exceeded the limits of their knowledge and imagination, bringing them to experience the high-level world.
"Quick!"
"Tell Burton about this."
"I'm afraid that there's great danger around here!"
In the Private Channel, the messages from the Assassins were a mess.
Burton was confused.
"The Elite Exotic Beasts were killed? And it was a group of them? Who did it? The Boss did it? The Boss and the Elite Exotic Beasts killed each other?" Burton tried to absorb the information.
"No."
But his guess was wrong, and Burton was even more puzzled. He continued to ask.
Until...
"The Boss that we ambushed was also dead..."
The Private Channel went silent.
If the situation was not described in words but through speech, Burton would definitely doubt what he was hearing.
This was too...
Too exaggerated, right?
Burton finally understood why the Assassins were so flustered and incoherent, because at this moment, Burton himself felt the same way.
The Boss, which they were confident they could bring down only after they had brought more than 200 people, had died just like that? With countless Elite Exotic Beasts dying alongside it?
Even if thousands of people were to work together, could they have reached such an extent?
Burton could not imagine what the Boss and the group of Elite Exotic Beasts had gone through.
"There can't be other monsters around here, right?" Burton nervously swallowed.
They were thinking of Exotic Beasts that were even more powerful than the Boss.
Could there be more extremely terrifying Exotic Beasts lurking around?
"Boss!"
Someone called Burton.
"Look at the system message!!"
Burton was stunned.
He hurriedly opened the chat interface.
[Mike's Epic Achievement: The first in the entire server to kill 100 Elite Exotic Beasts.]
Burton, who had killed Elite Exotic Beasts before, knew very well how difficult it was to kill an Elite Exotic Beast.
As for Mike...
He had hunted and killed over 100?
Then he thought of the corpses of Elite Beasts that the Assassins had found all over the place.
"Could it be... that Mike is that monster?"
"I always thought that Mike was only an expert in the research field, but it turns out that he's an expert in all aspects?"
"It must be him."
"Expert Mike, the one person who has the combat strength equivalent to that of several thousand people!!"
Burton's party was in a state of shock.
The World Channel erupted.
Just like Burton's army, everyone thought that Mike had only dominated the field of research, that he could develop consumables with various effects.
Only now did they realize that he was also an epic boss in combat.
Everyone was still in the beginning stages of the game, and countless people were only just starting out. And here Mike had already killed over 100 Elite Exotic Beasts!
The number of parties that had killed a single Elite Exotic Beast could be counted with both hands.
As for him...
100.
"It is now that I only understand how much of big boss Mike is..."
"Big boss? Wouldn't it be an understatement to call him a god?"
"He's terrifying."
"No wonder he can get Raw Meat on the shelves. I thought it was a coincidence that he developed the recipe. Hehe, I'm really a fool."
"Does God Mike still need underlings?"
...
On Trudeau's side, his party was still trying to find ways to cause trouble for Mike.
After all, there was history between the two sides, even though some of them were caused by Trudeau's side.
That didn't stop Trudeau and the others from hating Mike.
"I don't believe that we won't be able to find the recipe for that piece of Raw Meat! D*mn Mike, if only you didn't sell such good Raw Meat and targeted us, we wouldn't have to take revenge." Trudeau was very unwilling to let this matter go.
Suddenly, the World Channel became very lively.
Trudeau followed up with the latest news to understand the situation and very quickly, he fell into a state of shock.
"This...
"How is this possible..."
The moment he saw the system message Trudeau felt a chill run down his spine.
So, Mike was at such a level of existence?
And he had actually been trying to find fault with this kind of a person?
From the looks of it, blacklisting them was already an act of mercy towards Trudeau and the others. If Mike was really determined to go after them, Trudeau's party would be wiped out dozens of times over.
Trudeau suddenly woke up from his shock.
He hurriedly opened his army's Private Channel.
"Everyone, from now on, you're not allowed to look for trouble with Mike anymore. Cursing him is also not allowed!!" Trudeau was suddenly more knowledgeable about surviving in the face of true despair.
...
In the forest, the Overlord-Tier Exotic Beast was wandering around.
It wanted to find the person who broke its egg and take revenge. But, it did not wait for revenge. Instead, it waited until its subordinates were killed. The Overlord Exotic Beast approached the corpses of the Boss and the Elite Exotic Beast to observe.
As an Overlord-Tier Exotic Beast, it was more perceptive to danger. Very quickly, it sniffed out the scent of the dangerous person. Its instincts reminded itself that the person who killed the Boss could also kill it.
"Roar..."
The Overlord Exotic Beast fled back to the forest and growled towards the ground.
A pentagram appeared on the ground and a black-robed human figure rose from it.
"What's the matter?" The black-robed man spoke.
"Roar..."
The Overlord Exotic Beast growled humbly.
"There's an enemy you can't handle? A human of this level has already been born on Earth?" The black-robed man was very surprised. "We're still unable to rush back to Earth yet.
"I can help you stimulate your potential, but you can only live for a few days. Are you willing to take that chance?
"If not, we'll naturally help you take revenge once we get back to Earth."
"Roar..." The Overlord Exotic Beast growled.
"Alright, I'll help you stimulate your potential. Go kill that human!" The black-robed man extended his hand.
...
Within the magic array, Mike was researching his skills.
