Just call me Thor Chapter 22: Looks like it was struck by lightning



"This is where the boss drops in!" Jessica said, her face drained of color as she looked around in despair.

She couldn't believe they had ventured so deep into Thunder Valley, right into its darkest depths!

"We're toast, totally toast!" Cain muttered, scanning the surroundings, trying to gather so last bits of information before eting their doom. If only he could bring his phone, he'd even snap a selfie as a keepsake.

"What are you doing?" Jessica noticed Cain scribbling sothing on the ground with a stick and asked curiously.

"I'm writing 'Cain was here' as a nto!" Cain declared proudly.

"Hey, there's sothing here!" The stick hit sothing hard under the soft soil, hiding a secret beneath. Cain dug around with his hands and unearthed a blackened object.

"What's this?" A lump of charcoal sat in Cain's palm.

Jessica leaned in, analyzing, "Looks like it was struck by lightning?"

"It's squishy, not like wood... is this a steak?!" Cain peeled off the charred outer layer and to his surprise, found perfectly cooked beef inside.

"Slls amazing!"

The golden-brown beef emitted an enticing aroma, making Cain's Adam's apple bob as he swallowed his saliva.

Jessica frowned slightly, slightly disgusted, "You're not seriously thinking of eating that, are you?"

"I picked Chef as my life class, let tell you, high-tier monsters are treasures all over, even a piece of at could boost attributes!" Cain explained as he took out a silver knife and fork and cut a small piece of the at.

After all, inside the Tower of Truth, even if you die from food poisoning, you just return to the Core City of Truth.

Cain steeled himself, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stuffed the at into his mouth, chewing vigorously. "Delicious!"

"Gulp-"

The beef lted in his mouth, perfectly cooked, bursting with beefy flavor.

Cain's eyes popped open, and he exclaid excitedly, "Holy fuck!"

Lacking a more sophisticated vocabulary, Cain could only use "Holy fuck" to express his feelings at that mont.

"What's up?"

"My Strength stat just went up by 2 points!"

Cain was beyond thrilled, his eyes burning with excitent as he looked at the beef, "This has got to be from a Battle General-level monster to have such insane effects!"

Hearing this, Jessica was initially stunned, but quickly caught on and blurted out, "This is boss at!!"

"Who cares, let's see if there's more of this beef around!" Cain started searching around, and soon found two more steaks.

Jessica helped out, and with the assistance of her summoned beast, she also found six pieces of beef. Under the completely carbonized crust was succulent, juicy at, and they both reaped a rich harvest.

After sweeping the battlefield, Cain divided the beef into three parts, looking at Jessica. "This is your share."

Jessica, slightly disgusted, refused, "I'll pass, give my share to Mike."

"That's kind of awkward."

Cain put all the beef back into his backpack. He didn't want to eat things picked up from the ground, but this beef was just too incredible!

After eating it, it actually increased attributes!

After packing up the spoils, Cain finally thought of the most crucial issue, "If the boss's at is here, where's the boss?"

"Dead!"

Jessica's face regained so color. After all, she was the granddaughter of a Battle Chief, having grown up by his side, absorbing a lot of information, her perspective far beyond

Cain's.

"Look, there are a lot of broken chains in the middle of the battlefield, I guess those were all created by the rules of truth."

"Oh-"

Cain nodded slightly, making a face as if to say, "I see, I get it now!"

In fact, he didn't understand.

"Look at these marks from the lightning strike, to cause such terrifying destruction, it must have been at least a Battle Chief-level powerhouse!"

Jessica confidently stated, "The boss here was forcibly summoned, the demon god paid a huge price, but still was suppressed by the rules of truth, the boss's summoning failed, and it was annihilated by the rules of truth!"

Lightning punishnt, at tis, also symbolizes the power of lightning.

Battle Chief-level battle traces, definitely not sothing a newbie could achieve, not even Thor!

Jessica's analysis was logical and convincing.

"That makes sense, what do we do now?" Cain spread his hands.

The boss was annihilated by the rules of truth, Thunder Valley was now safe, and they hadn't

found Mike.

"Let's head back the way we ca, then level up."

It wasn't until this mont that Jessica finally relaxed, since the boss was dead, it also ant that Mike was no longer in danger!

"Keep the beef to yourself, don't tell anyone about it. It's hard to put a price on this stuff, just

enjoy it yourself."

"Got it, got it."

Cain nodded non-stop, following Jessica back the way they ca. On their way to Thunder Valley, they hadn't encountered any battles, as the monsters had fled in panic due to the boss's arrival, leaving their territories.

As they made their way out, the path remained clear. About fifteen minutes after they left, a group once again broke the silence deep within Thunder Valley. The prodigies of the Thunder Valley Squad were late to the scene.

Seeing the chaotic scene before them, murmurs of shock rippled through the crowd,

"What the heck happened here?!"

"Where did all this lava co from, and where's the boss?"

"Look, the chains of the rules of truth! Could it be..."

"..."

Among these geniuses were descendants of Battle Chiefs and Battle Lords, their backgrounds

no less distinguished than Jessica's. From the various signs on the battlefield, they quickly ca to the sa conclusion as Jessica.

"Darn, the boss was annihilated by the rules of truth!"

"We're too late, what a pity!"

"Let's look around, see if there's anything left, even a piece of at would be incredibly

valuable!"

Filled with hope, the prodigies of the Thunder Valley Squad ended up empty-handed. Under a great sense of disappointnt, they sulked around the battlefield.

"What's this?"

Jas bent down and noticed a line of text awkwardly written on the ground.

As he deciphered the ssage, his expression suddenly changed.

The ground read: [Cain was here!]

"How could Cain have been here? Wait... could it be soone with the sa na?"

For a mont, countless thoughts flashed through Jas' mind, leaving him feeling incredibly complex.

As a prodigy, he had exerted trendous effort, overcoming nurous barriers to finally reach the depths of Thunder Valley. Little did he know, his classmate, whom he always considered a clown, had reached the destination way earlier and even had the leisure to leave

a ssage!

Comparing the two, was Jas the real clown? His emotions churned, unable to settle.

"Jas, what did you find?"

A call from a companion snapped Jas back to reality.

"Nothing, nothing at all."

Saying this, Jas scuffed the ground with the tip of his shoe, erasing the ssage Cain had

left.

He rejoined the main group with a smile, showing no signs of disturbance.

Yet, in his heart, he kept repeating a na.

"Cain, Cain..."

"What secrets are you hiding, buddy?"
