Lucien walked along while looking at the map.

Before long, he arrived at a Dark Forest where there were no players.

This was a level 40 to 50 area; currently, no players would be leveling up here.

This place was specifically selected by Lucien.

According to the map, the monsters here dropped Silver-grade Enhancement Stones.

These were needed to enhance equipment beyond level ten.

However, the drop rate for Enhancement Stones was quite pathetic; many people could spend several years without necessarily getting one.

This was why, despite being only Silver-grade Enhancement Stones, their price was no lower than that of Immortal-grade Moonstones.

It was simply because these Silver-grade equipment Enhancement Stones were too difficult to obtain.

Lucien had come this time specifically to see if he could get some Silver-grade Enhancement Stones to drop.

Lucien was full of confidence; with Luck far exceeding that of ordinary people, surely he could get one to drop within two or three months?

Just as he reached the Dark Forest, he saw an Ugly Cat Demon.

Ugly Cat Demon

Level: 45

HP: 50,000

Attack: 3,500

Skills: Frenzied Scratches, Bite, Extreme Speed

Description: Originally a normal cat, it became a research subject and developed a violent temperament.

As soon as the Ugly Cat Demon saw a stranger, it immediately ran toward Lucien.

Lucien skillfully summoned his Five Elements Zombies and Five Elements Spirit Beasts.

Send the summons for trouble, let the summons tank the damage—this was already a tradition.

Even if it cost a bit more mana and talismans, he didn’t want to take any damage himself.

Soon, the Cat Demon collapsed under the siege of the eighteen summons.

He went forward to check, but nothing had dropped.

He continued walking forward, looking for the next monster.

This wasn’t the Red Miasma Secret Realm; over there, if he attacked one bee, other swarms would quickly come to support.

But here, monsters were scarce and had to be sought out slowly.

In just two hours, Lucien had fought over a hundred Ugly Cat Demons.

Out of over a hundred Ugly Cat Demons, not even a single hair had dropped.

This made him start to doubt if his twenty-plus points of Luck were fake; the drop rate was just too low!

While he was continuing on his way, a pleasant female voice reached his ears from ahead.

"You, you, don’t come over here! If you come any closer, I’ll... I’ll hit you!"

With a hint of curiosity, Lucien walked toward the source of the sound.

Soon, a girl around twenty years old with a hot figure, wearing a white robe and a face veil, appeared not far away.

This young girl was holding a staff; she seemed to be a mage.

In front of her was a three-meter-tall, blood-red Ugly Cat Demon.

Seeing that Ugly Cat Demon, Lucien’s eyes lit up.

This was definitely a BOSS. Usually, Cat Demons were only half a meter tall, but this one was three meters tall; it had to be a BOSS.

It looked like he could steal another BOSS, right?

Though stealing a BOSS from a young girl seemed a bit immoral.

But Lucien didn’t care about that; what was morality compared to a BOSS?

Women only ever slow down the speed of one’s blade.

Besides, look at the way that little girl is trembling; there’s no way she’s a match for the BOSS.

He was saving her; it was only right for her to pay him a protection fee for the rescue.

Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (BOSS)

Grade: Gold

HP: 50,000,000

Attack Power: 5,000

Skills: Frenzied Scratches, Bloodthirst, Bite, Blood Qi Burst

A very strong BOSS; with 5,000 attack, if he got caught, he definitely wouldn’t last long.

The BOSS was currently confronting the girl and hadn’t noticed him at all.

He could take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Maybe he could even get that girl to kite the monster for him!

He immediately used Hunting Time to mark the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon.

Hunting Time: Marks an enemy, increasing damage dealt to them by 30%.

Because of Nine-Fold Spell Casting, although it was marked nine times, this kind of skill could only have one instance take effect.

However, the duration of the mark was extended from the original one minute to nine minutes.

Having done this, he first had his Five Elements Spirit Beasts switch to a defensive state.

Only then did he start using Thunder God Help Me.

-25,000

-100,000 (Critical Hit)

-123,456 (Critical Hit)

-125,663 (Critical Hit)

A series of damage numbers exploded from the BOSS.

With just this one move, he had wiped out over a million of the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon’s HP.

The Bloodthirsty Cat Demon, which had been confronting the girl, kicked back and pounced toward her.

Lucien’s expression remained unchanged; he was even feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

You’re a mage, yet you ran into this level 40-50 monster area all by yourself.

Truly reckless.

Of course, he had no intention of going out of his way to save her; it was pointless.

The Bloodthirsty Cat Demon was too fast, and he was still some distance away; he wouldn’t make it in time anyway.

Moreover, Lucien would never put himself in danger.

He could only blame her bad Luck!

However, Lucien didn’t stop; while the BOSS was still electrified, he quickly converted his Soul Fire Talisman to the lightning attribute and attacked with it.

-20,000 (Crit), -18,909 (Crit), -21,345 (Crit)...

In just one second, he had shaved off another 200,000-plus HP from the BOSS.

It looked like he could finish off this BOSS in at most half an hour.

Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon was less than a meter away from the girl.

As the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon’s claws extended, the girl kept shouting:

"Don’t come over! Don’t come over..."

Then, under Lucien’s incredulous gaze, a golden light flashed from the staff in the girl’s hand.

The staff directly transformed into a massive golden hammer, a full two meters long.

At the critical moment, the girl swung the giant hammer; with a single strike, she sent the Cat Demon flying over a dozen meters away.

-3,000,000

The massive damage made Lucien gulp.

That was three million damage. He had used all sorts of skills, and under the boost of Nine-Fold Spell Casting, he had only managed just over a million.

But what about her?

With just one blow, she had dealt three million damage to the BOSS.

Who on earth was this person? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Why didn’t he know her?

He hadn’t even heard of her.

Yet, while Lucien was dazed, the giant hammer in her hand continued to grow.

When it was as large as a four or five-story building, she smashed it down onto the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon, which had been sent flying and hadn’t yet stood back up.

-8,000,000

With just one hit, she had taken out eight million HP from a level 45 Gold BOSS.

Are you sure this isn’t a joke?

The girl swung the giant hammer while muttering, "Don’t come over! Don’t come over! You’re so ugly, don’t come over!"

Every swing of the giant hammer reduced the BOSS’s HP by two to three million.

The BOSS was so humiliated it couldn’t even stand up; eventually, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon was turned into a meat pancake, losing all signs of life with one final, defiant scream.

Then, that little girl looked toward Lucien like a demon.

Lucien couldn’t help but gulp; he wanted to run away.

This person was a total freak. If you’re this strong, why act so weak?
