Chapter 30: No wonder he

On the other side, at the western flank of Sunset Canyon, the Zhao family’s defensive line.

Zhao Yu launched a Fireball Spell, killing a pangolin that had ambushed from the side, his expression tense.

He scanned everywhere, as if searching for the Boss’s trail.

Time was nearly up—the Boss should be ready to respawn, yet he sensed nothing. It wasn’t fire-aligned.

Just then,

a middle-aged deputy officer rushed over from afar, “Young Master Zhao! Young Master Zhao! Something’s happened!”

Zhao Yu’s gaze sharpened—he recognized this officer, an A-rank Earth mage.

“What’s wrong? Did you sense the Boss?”

The officer didn’t bother wiping his sweat, his voice urgent:

“I sensed it! Just now, a terrifying Earth elemental surge came from deep underground!”

“Young Master, the Lin family’s S-rank Earth mage should’ve sensed it earlier—we must hurry over there.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

If they were too slow, all that massive experience point reward would be out of his reach.

If that vacationing second-generation heir Lin Mo snatched it, he’d be so disgusted he’d lie awake for three days.

“Then what are we waiting for? Can your [Earth Submersion] carry me? Let’s go!”

Zhao Yu decided instantly.

The deputy officer hurriedly replied:

“Yes, my [Earth Submersion] can carry about eighty kilograms—I can definitely take you, Young Master!”

The officer didn’t dare delay—he immediately activated his skill.

Hum—

A pale yellow glow enveloped the two; the ground softened, and their figures vanished instantly into the earth.

……

At this very moment, deep underground.

“Puke—”

Lin Mo was already dizzy and nauseous.

If the [Fireball Spell] had a physical form, it would’ve vomited itself unconscious by now.

The once-luxurious king-sized bed now resembled a rudderless skiff, violently tossed in a furious torrent of Earth elements.

Soil, rocks, and debris flew past the shield like flowing liquid.

“Slower! Slower! Are you trying to get reincarnated?!”

Lin Mo clung desperately to the bed rail, his body tossed about, his stomach churning.

Lin Mo didn’t understand.

One moment it was peaceful vacation mode—how had it turned into a journey to the Earth’s core in an instant?

【『Fireball Spell』roared in fury: Can you even drive?! Can you?! My brain’s been shaken into slurry!】

【『Fireball Spell』pointed at the rock ahead: Are you blind?! That huge boulder right there?! You hit it again! Damn! You hit it again!】

【『Fireball Spell』: What kind of ride is this? You’re making me ride a hearse? Fuck, turn!!】

【『Earth Shield Spell』in utter panic: I didn’t want this either! There’s a massive force pulling us—I can’t control it!】

Thud!

A muffled crash.

The luxurious bed slammed into a hard granite layer.

Lin Mo felt like crying without tears.

“I told you not to come down, I told you not to come down—now look! Where the hell are we even going?!”

【『Earth Shield Spell』whimpered: Waaah… Master, I didn’t expect it to be like this down here… That pull was too strong—it’s like it’s dragging us somewhere…】

Just then,

the narrow tunnel ahead suddenly opened wide.

A massive underground current instantly engulfed the bed and blasted it upward in a furious geyser.

【『Earth Shield Spell』panicked: Master, hold on! I feel like we’re about to take off!】

Take off your damn shirt!!

Lin Mo yelled, wrapping himself tightly in the blanket.

Boom—!!!

With a thunderous explosion, the earth shattered.

On a flat stretch of Sunset Canyon, the ground suddenly bulged upward, then erupted like a volcano.

“Ahh—!”

The luxurious bed, along with a storm of dust and debris, was violently spewed over ten meters into the air.

Finally, the bed crashed heavily to the ground.

Thanks to the protection of [Earth Shield Spell], the bed didn’t break apart, and Lin Mo remained unharmed.

“Cough… cough… cough…”

Lin Mo poked his head out from under the blanket, feeling like every bone in his body had come loose.

“You little dirt—”

Before he could finish, a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon him.

Lin Mo snapped his head up.

Before him stood a terrifying giant, entirely formed of obsidian and crimson magma, at least ten meters tall.

Molten earth veins flowed across its body; its two massive, grinding-stone-sized eyes glowed with savage red light, fixed on the tiny insect that had suddenly emerged from the ground.

【Earth Vein·Magma Titan (Lord-level Boss)】

【Level: Lv.40】

【Description: A terrifying entity born from the essence of Sunset Canyon’s earth veins, possessing world-shattering power, extremely high defense, and immunity to most control effects.】

“… ”

Their gazes locked.

The air seemed to freeze.

Lin Mo stared at the Boss’s blood-purple level indicator and swallowed hard.

Level 40…

Lord-level Boss…

Is this even something you can fight at this stage?

He was only level 15 himself…

“This is what you meant by ‘taking me to hide’?”

Lin Mo’s spirit sank—he couldn’t help blurting it out.

【『Earth Shield Spell』was frozen in terror: I… I didn’t know… This is where the pull ended…】

【『Earth Shield Spell』broke into sobs: What kind of monster is this?! Level 40… clearly unbeatable! Master, run!】

【『Earth Shield Spell』tried to activate its skill to submerge again—but the skill was on cooldown】

【『Fireball Spell』instantly erupted in fury, flames flaring across its body】

【『Fireball Spell』roared: Run? Run for what?!】

【『Fireball Spell』wasn’t afraid—it burned with battle lust: Level 40? So what?! I am destined to become a Forbidden Spell! On the path to supreme power, all obstacles shall turn to ash! Kill gods who stand in my way, slay Buddhas who block my path!】

At this moment, Lin Mo wanted to slap the little fireball right in the face.

You’re insane.

It’s level 40, you’re level 15—twenty-five levels of dominance—do you think you’re giving it a massage?

“Kill gods and slay Buddhas?” Why don’t you just fly up and high-five the sun?

Meanwhile, the little fireball could no longer hold back.

Shhh—!

An orange-red fireball shot out with the arrogance of “I am the greatest.”

Boom—!!

The fire flashed and vanished—clearly, it had just given the Boss a light scratch.

Damage was low, but the insult was extreme.

The Magma Titan instantly exploded in rage.

Boom!

It raised its massive foot, magma churning beneath it, heat radiating violently.

“Damn it…”

Lin Mo watched the colossal figure charging toward him, his heart pounding.

There was no running now.

He had to fight.

Lin Mo’s eyes hardened—a fierce resolve surged from within.

Even a rabbit bites when cornered—do you really think I’m a soft target?

“Little Fire, hit it!”

【『Fireball Spell』 laughed hysterically: Hahaha! That’s the spirit! That’s it! Hit it!!!】

Hum—!

Lin Mo raised his hand, and a dark red dot instantly condensed at his fingertip.

Extreme compression. Extreme rotation.

Boom—!!

A dark red spiral beam shot toward the Lava Titan at incredible speed.

A terrifying explosion erupted.

The shockwave released in that instant forcibly pushed the Lava Titan back a step.

But that was all.

The level gap was simply too vast.

“Damn it, Little Earth!”

Lin Mo roared.

【『Earth Shield Spell』 heard its master’s roar. Though terrified, though cowardly, it feared its master being hurt more!】

【『Earth Shield Spell』 let out a roar: I will protect my master at all costs!】

Boom—!

A thick wall of earth surged upward, shielding Lin Mo completely behind it.

At that moment,

“Young Master!!”

“We made it just in time!!”

Two figures raced toward Lin Mo at blinding speed.

“Dare you lay a hand on my Young Master? I’ll kill you!”

Shi Tou’s eyes burned red, veins bulging across his body.

Boom—boom—boom—!!!

Countless massive rock spikes, sharp as spears, erupted wildly from the ground.

The Lava Titan, moments ago roaring in fury, was instantly pierced into a sieve, reduced to a sliver of health.

“Young Master! Quick! Finish it!”

Lin Mo heard this and said nothing.

A fireball shot forth, striking the Lava Titan with perfect precision.

【Killed Earth Vein · Lava Titan (Lord-level Boss), level difference 25, experience decay applied, gained experience +78651!】

【Congratulations! Your level has risen to Lv.17 (5%)!】

After resolving all of this,

Shi Tou and Ye Hongyu both looked at Lin Mo.

The moment they arrived, their first sight was Lin Mo alone, fighting a Lava Titan twenty-five levels higher.

No wonder he’s our Young Master…

Facing a full twenty-five-level dominance, facing a size difference that could choke the breath from a man—he didn’t flinch an inch!

He even sneaked forward Zhudong to confront the Boss.

This was the arrogance to raise a blade against the gods—the true posture of invincibility.

This was the bearing of a warrior destined to stand atop the world’s peak!
