Chapter 591

"If Li Yao-kun wanted to kill them, he could have completely killed them outside."

"There was no need to bring them inside and waste the spots."

Li Yao looked at her with annoyance.

Don't you know why?

Miss Jiutiao Meise smiled, her pupils flickering.

"So that's why, I said thank you, Li Yao-kun."

Not because you helped me cut off the past.

But...

...because you care about my feelings more than anyone else.

"Then, don't let them waste Li Yao-kun's time now."

Saying this...

...Miss Jiutiao Meise raised her staff.

Several buffs...

...flew toward the Demi-God.

The two 7th-turn professionals died.

Not even a residue was left!

They were swallowed whole by this Demi-God wrapped in thunder.

Miss Jiutiao Meise's buffs were a multi-fold increase for monsters.

The Undying Thunder was already stronger than the three-person combination.

With the buffs added, the battle was resolved in ten breaths.

Next, things were simple.

With a loud 'boom', a large amount of dust was kicked up.

The Devourer's initial state was already over 300 meters tall; standing at its feet, one couldn't see the top at all.

The massive life aura...

...instantly attracted the attention of the Thunder Giant Bear.

Its gaze shifted from the dying Miyamoto Musashi and fell onto the Devourer.

"ROAR!"

A terrifying roar echoed!

But this didn't scare the Devourer.

Its body size of less than 100 meters was just a chick-like creature in its eyes.

The Devourer was not afraid at all.

It replied with a shrill screech.

The next second...

...the two giant beasts rushed directly toward each other.

Every step on the ground caused a violent tremor.

However...

...just as they were about to meet...

...a red figure appeared at the neck of the Undying Thunder.

Its claws tore a scarlet cross in the air.

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh being cut rang out.

Accompanied by the Undying Thunder's miserable wail.

[- (Weakness Attack)]

[- (Critical/Weakness Attack)]

Two hideous wounds appeared on the neck of the Undying Thunder.

The giant bear was furious and was about to attack this ant that didn't know death, but it was knocked back hundreds of meters by the Devourer.

Giant beasts fighting.

Kha'Zix waited for an opportunity on the side.

Li Yao held the long sword wrapped in white bandages, standing on a distant peak, watching the battlefield quietly.

Recently, he had replaced several pieces of top-tier equipment.

The percentage increase values had skyrocketed.

On the contrary, the strength attribute gained from [Combat Training] had stagnated somewhat.

It was already struggling to keep up with the high-intensity battles he was encountering now.

Counting it up...

...only during the national border trial...

...when he encountered those bugs known for their numbers, did [Combat Training] take a leap.

"Before heading to the Abyss, let's have a fight at the Insect Mother Battlefield."

Li Yao made up his mind.

While thinking...

...the battle was coming to an end.

He also knew Kha'Zix's current combat power.

Like an assassin.

It was better than other chess pieces at sudden bursts to clean up the endgame.

But its head-on combat ability was weaker than the other main combat chess pieces that triggered [World's Apart].

To deal with a 7th-turn top-tier True Name-level creature like the Undying Thunder...

...it needed a meat shield as cover.

It waited on the side to deal damage.

"That S2 Psychic Stone, let's get a taunt skill for the Devourer first."

If the Undying Thunder's attention could be focused on the Devourer...

...this battle would be much simpler.

"Whoosh!"

Except for Kai'Sa, who was in hibernation, all chess pieces were summoned at once and shot toward the battlefield.

The Undying Thunder was already exhausted.

All chess pieces besieged it together, and in less than a minute, the health bar on its head dropped to the bottom.

Golden light flickered.

The Devourer's massive body appeared behind the giant bear.

Its mouth, which blotted out the sky, tore down.

[Killed a True Name-level creature beyond your level, Undying Thunder, Volibear. Experience +40%]

[Void Devourer completed evolution devouring, obtained maximum health +3.2 billion]

The golden radiance representing the upgrade wrapped around its entire body.

A warm sensation washed over him.

"Leveled up."

"One more level, and I can take the 5th-turn quest."

"According to the current progress, clearing a few more God Ruins should be enough."

Li Yao muttered.

Seeing Kha'Zix put away the treasure chest dropped by the Undying Thunder...

...Li Yao walked toward the opened vortex with Miss Jiutiao Meise.

Before leaving...

The two nodded to Miyamoto Musashi.

For professionals who selflessly contribute to humanity...

...they, as juniors, should pay the highest respect.

Passing through the vortex...

...in the blink of an eye, they appeared outside.

System notifications rang out one after another.

Li Yao took a look.

Aside from the clear rewards...

...there were also two completion notifications for the Abyss Illustrated Handbook.

One was personal.

One was for the entire Dragon Country!

[Hunted 1/1 Demi-God race, Undying Thunder, Volibear. Professional gains 35% Thunder element damage increase.]

[Hunted 1/1 Demi-God race, Undying Thunder, Volibear. All professionals within the Dragon Country border gain 5% Thunder element damage increase.]

"Li Yao-kun!" Miss Jiutiao Meise suddenly said with pleasant surprise.

"What?" Li Yao asked.

"I also have an elemental increase!"

"Heavenly Dao!"

"Heavenly Dao counted me as a Dragon Country professional!"

"What about before?" Li Yao's expression shifted slightly. "When I came back from the Abyss, did you gain the stamina attribute?"

At that time, he had brought back the item [Resurrection Rice] from the Abyss.

Dragon Country professionals would all gain a stamina bonus.

"No!" Miss Jiutiao Meise looked very happy, her eyes squinting.

"Is it that happy?"

"Of course!" Miss Jiutiao Meise looked at Li Yao with a smile, the brilliance in her eyes not hidden at all. "Before this, I always felt there was an invisible barrier between me and Li Yao-kun."

Li Yao couldn't stand being looked at by her.

He hurriedly changed the subject.

(Note: Page break/continuation.)

"What about the monk and Mu Mu Xiaoxiao? Why haven't they come over yet?"

"We're here, we're here!" Mu Mu Xiaoxiao crawled out of the bushes on the side.

"Didn't we see you were busy?"

Miss Jiutiao Meise was in a good mood and didn't have a cold face. "Not bad, you look much more pleasing to the eye."

"Who wants you to find me pleasing to the eye!"

Li Yao ignored them and looked at the attribute panel.

35% Thunder element increase.

This value was not low.

He could look for chess pieces that were good at Thunder elements later.

The Void bond had already been gathered.

There were only three Elementalist chess pieces.

The strength of the bond should be average.

Assassin, Challenger, Scholar, Fate Child...

...were all within the scope of consideration.

At this moment...

...a voice rang out from afar.

"Chief General, where are the two professionals from our Sakura Country?"

Miss Jiutiao Xiongming walked over quickly.

Li Yao sneered:

"I'm really sorry, the Demi-God was too strong."

"Those two unfortunately met with misfortune inside."

"What?!" Miss Jiutiao Xiongming's eyes widened, his face carrying a trace of anger.

He looked at Miss Jiutiao Meise. "She didn't die, how could two 7th-turn professionals die?"

"Chief General, my Sakura Country treated you with courtesy, you..."

While speaking...

...the teleportation vortex behind him twisted.

Miyamoto Musashi, wearing samurai armor, teleported out of the dungeon.

Miss Jiutiao Xiongming knew Miyamoto Musashi's strength well.

After all, Miyamoto Musashi's equipment...

...was all collected by him from all over the world!

Miss Jiutiao Xiongming ran quickly to Miyamoto Musashi.

"..."

A series of questions in a language Li Yao didn't understand.

Miyamoto Musashi turned his head slightly, looking deeply at Li Yao.

After a long while, he said...

"..."
