The scariest thing in life isn't falling down; it's an endless free fall with no bottom in sight. There was sothing Mike wanted to say to Apollo, but unfortunately, Apollo couldn't hear him anymore.
"Fate's Reversal is still on cooldown!"
Clearly, Apollo had never learned Fate's Reversal.
The condition to learn this skill required one's health to drop to 1 HP, then forcibly use [Fate's Reversal] to learn it.
Mike had just learned it not long ago, and the skill was still on cooldown!!
He's going to die!
Where are his teammates? Soone save him!
As Mike free-fell, he could already see the ground approaching.
"Tripod!"
"ow-"
With a roar, Cerberus was summoned.
It knew it was ti to make a sacrifice again.
Co on, it was ready, prepared to be the cushion.
Mike's hands didn't stop moving, "Lightning Phantom Form!"
In Lightning Phantom Form, Mike could be immune to physical damage.
"Shadow ld!"
"Ghostly Mirage!"
"Thor's Sea!"
This ti, Mike didn't crash directly into Cerberus but transford into a black light, rging into Cerberus's shadow.
Unscathed!
"Clap, clap, clap-"
Applause ca from the surrounding black mist, "Bravo, bravo."
Clearly, if Mike had died from the fall, Shadow Nine might have taken a nice photo for his obituary?
"Shadow Nine, you're finally back!"
Mike erged from Cerberus's shadow, calling out, "I need to get so rest quickly; this ti was really exhausting."
The black mist rged into Mike's shadow, and the two walked together.
The sky lightened with the first hints of dawn, and the morning rays pierced through the thin mist, reaching the boy's shoulder.
Mike walked with his back to the east, his shadow leading the way, muttering incessantly.
"Shadow Nine, don't forget the 10,000 Lord rits you promised ."
"Okay."
"And the 200,000 Lord rits reward for Amari's upgrade!"
"Okay."
"Oh, rescuing Professor Gregory was an SSS-level mission.Also, Professor Gregory's Second Awakening was an additional task, right? So, what about his third awakening?
I'm not being petty, it's just that I really need Lord rits."
Shadow Nine was silent for a long ti before suddenly saying, "I suspect if the price is right, you'd even sell the [Supre Mark]."
Shadow Nine felt he had overthought things before.
With Mike, there was no need for other thods; just give him money.
As long as the price was right, there was nothing that couldn't be negotiated.
"What are you thinking? That's the Supre Mark!"
Mike forcibly swallowed the words "need more money."
One must have principles!
After a few seconds, Mike spoke again,
"I'm not really thinking of selling it, Shadow Nine, just curious, no other intentions, don't misunderstand..."
"How much are you planning to offer?"
Shadow Nine: "Is your life worth enough?"
Feeling the chill of the blade, Mike put away his curiosity and returned to the sumr camp.
...
Dormitory in Area C.
Upon learning that Mike had returned to Earth, Cain hurriedly knocked on Mike's dormitory door.
"Mike, you're finally back!"
When he received the news of Mike's return, Cain was wandering around the Core City of Truth and imdiately exited the Tower of Truth.
The Abyss internship lasted a week, and Mike was among the last to return.
Cain had finished his duty early and returned to Earth, even challenging the Tower of Truth in
the past two days.
He was different from Mike.
Cain was part of the United Corps faction, mainly tasked with participating in daily logistics work in large Abyssal Planes, experiencing the battlefield atmosphere.
The real danger was nearly zero.
Mike chose the Lone Wolf faction, going to small and dium Abyssal Planes to perform tasks alone.
Though said to be alone, it was actually under the secret protection of human powerhouses.
Otherwise, throwing these Supre Being seeds into the Abyssal Plane would result in a 50% mortality rate within two days.
Mike looked Cain over and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, you look stronger."
Returning alive from the Abyssal Plane, Cain had bulked up, finally looking a bit like a warrior.
The two walked and chatted.
At first, Mike shared so of his experiences.
For example, the nine-tier Lord Ice Spike beca an 80-level demon creature in Mike's story. This demon creature, after falling into a trap, was easily dealt with by Mike.
When recounting his experiences, Mike lowered the level of all enemies by 900 and described the battles as slightly more dangerous.
Though he hadn't faced real danger, he spoke vividly, making listeners feel as if they were
there, incredibly realistic.
The thod was simple: try to see things from Cerberus's perspective.
In Mike's stories, he (Cerberus) almost lost his life several tis, facing constant peril!
With Mike's slightly pale face, it was very convincing.
Cain listened, wide-eyed, feeling a chill for Mike.
Fortunately, Mike returned safely.
After Mike's adventures, it was Cain's turn to perform a solo act.
In the past few days, Cain had learned a lot about others' situations.
Everyone had returned before Mike, and they had been delaying their celebration dinner just
to wait for him.
"Mike, Ethan actually took down a General-level demon creature. Though it was severely
injured and he just finished it off, it's still impressive!"
Cain was still in shock, feeling a lingering fear, "I saw a demon general from a distance in the Abyssal Plane, it was terrifying!"
Mike nodded, agreeing with Cain, "Indeed, facing a General-level demon creature requires caution. Don't engage unless you're sure of victory."
Cain continued with explosive news, "And Jessica seems to have killed a demon general too!"
"Several people in our batch have killed demon generals. Rumor has it that so are already being closely watched. If they perform well, they might be transferred to the SS-grade talent
training camp to be classmates with Thor..."
Mike didn't know what to say, so he just nodded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes."
Mike also wanted to be classmates with Thor, but he probably wouldn't have the chance in
this lifeti.
"By the way, Anderson and the others returned from the Abyssal Plane. They were ambushed
on the way back, and Anderson was seriously injured. Even a healing elent Lord had to
co to treat him!"
Hearing Cain's words, Mike raised an eyebrow. It seed this Abyss trip was indeed dangerous. Even with Joseph watching, Anderson still got seriously injured.
As Mike and Cain chatted, an urgent voice rang out.
The person hadn't arrived, but the voice did first.
"Mike, sothing big happened!"
Kaelum rushed over, full of excitent, "Thor is so freaking aweso!"
Mike thought to himself, "So? How are you going to praise this ti? Co on, I'm
ready!" Kaelum continued, "Thor just returned from the Abyss. After completing an SSS-level
mission, he didn't rest at all. In just three hours, he completed his third class change and
raised his level to 200!"
After hearing Kaelum's praise, Mike calmly analyzed, "Impressive, impressive. I guess only Thor among the potential Supre Beings could achieve that."
Cain was puzzled, "Isn't that global news?"
Clearly, the big news Kaelum ntioned wasn't just this.
Kaelum caught his breath and said seriously,
"I just got word that today, people from the SS-grade talent training camp will co to Area
C for an exchange!"
"So the big news is... you might et Thor in person today!"
