This ti, the process of grasping the skill didn't last long. Mike felt like he had touched a higher level of power, but it had slipped through his fingers. It wasn't that Mike wasn't insightful enough, but... his level was too low right now.
Of course, Mike didn't co away empty-handed.
[All Things Grow] had gained so additional effects based on his previous comprehension.
When grasping the skill (All Things Grow], Mike had witnessed a whale fall, a grand feast of death.
But in fact, Zachary's death, compared to the whale fall, was smaller, more ordinary, more mundane... and more real.
This was the life and death that Mike could truly relate to, and it brought new insights.
[Chaotic Lightning Annihilation]: When Chaotic Lightning deals damage, it instantly kills any target whose level is lower than the caster's.
Looking at the evolution of Chaotic Lightning, Mike fell silent for a mont.
He had comprehended it, but not completely.
To be precise, he had comprehended it, but it was completely useless!
Mike was speechless.
"Who below level 300 could withstand my Chaotic Lightning?!"
This skill, like Calderon, was a bully, picking on the weak and fearing the strong, without a backbone!
A skill should have a backbone!
Wait!
Mike suddenly realized sothing.
[Chaotic Lightning. Annihilation] was indeed useless now. The instant death effect only worked on enemies lower level than him.
But what about demon gods?
When Mike reached level 999, one shot of Chaotic Lightning. Annihilation, and all the demon gods except for the Archdemon, the Second Demon God, and the Fifth Demon God would die!
If he was even bolder, what about the Supre Demon God?!
If Mike's level could surpass the Supre Demon God, then...
Mike almost grinned from ear to ear, praising himself, "This skill is actually far more powerful than I imagined!"
Putting away the skill introduction, Mike didn't forget the purpose of his trip.
"Defeated Zachary's fantasy chicken soup, Exploration Rate 35%!"
One down, two NPCs to go.
"Naless and Jeremy."
Mike didn't hesitate for long between the two.
Naless was twenty-one years old, Jeremy was nine. Children might be more troubleso,
so he'd leave that one for last.
"Let's go find Naless first!"
With that decided, Mike swiftly moved through the city and soon found his target.
...
An ordinary young man in a baseball cap, white sportswear, and white sneakers walked out of a convenience store.
He glanced around cautiously and turned into an alley, as if afraid of being followed.
The young man muttered to himself.
"Be careful, don't be discovered, this world is full of malice towards ."
"I'm in a very dangerous situation right now!"
"The enemy could be hiding around any corner."
Behind the ordinary young man, Mike fell silent once more.
This young man was Naless.
Compared to Naless, Zachary was a perfectly normal guy!
Mike followed Naless for two minutes, and the guy talked to himself for two minutes straight.
Based on the content of his self-talk, Mike ca to a simple conclusion:
Either Naless was an idiot, or he was ntally ill.
After observing for a while, Mike went ahead to the corner and waited for Naless to arrive.
Naless, walking close to the wall, caught sight of Mike in his black robe with his peripheral vision and instinctively turned to flee!
"There it is again, the interdinsional powerhouse who wants to capture !"
As Naless turned and ran, he said in frustration, "I knew it, this world wouldn't let go!"
Without giving Mike a chance to speak, Naless's fleeing expression changed from dejected to sowhat eager.
"Since the enemy has appeared, then my power should be usable too!"
"Co forth, White-Bearded Mage with magical powers, my 23rd strongest companion, and repel the enemy for !"
As Naless spoke, a holy and pure aura rushed towards them. After the dazzling white light,
a white-robed, white-bearded mage appeared in front of Naless.
Mike glanced at him.
[Conjurer Naless's Mage, Lv. 300, Immune to all magic attacks]
The White-Bearded Mage waved his staff, about to attack Mike.
In Naless's imagination, this White-Bearded Mage was the most powerful being among
mages.
Because the White-Bearded Mage was immune to all magic damage!
Seeing that the enemy was wearing a mage robe, Naless subconsciously summoned the mage's nesis!
What Naless never expected was that the enemy he encountered didn't fight fair.
"Star Pluck!"
"Wind's Reach!"
Mike swung his hamr, and the White-Bearded Mage was sent flying like a baseball!
"Interesting."
After killing the monster conjured up by Naless, Mike didn't attack again. Instead, he returned to his original spot and watched with interest.
Clearly, Naless had misunderstood sothing.
In Mike's mind, he, as a participant on this floor, had found Naless to help him deal with
the monsters in his imagination.
He was the main character, right?
But Naless didn't see it that way.
In Naless's mind, he was an outcast from the world, and there would always be all sorts of otherworldly powerhouses coming to capture him.
And Naless possessed a powerful special ability: he could conjure up all sorts of powerful helpers/companions to fight against these interdinsional powerhouses!
In the past 32 captures, Naless had successfully repelled all the interdinsional
powerhouses with this ability.
This ti would be no exception.
Mike couldn't help but laugh.
"What a misunderstanding."
From Naless's perspective, Mike wasn't so protagonist, but a proper villain!
"But it's okay, I'll play along with him for a bit."
Mike was in no hurry to clear up the misunderstanding.
The monsters conjured up by Naless were sothing Mike had to deal with sooner or later.
Might as well have so fun with it.
"Despicable!"
Seeing the White-Bearded Mage he had summoned being sent flying like a baseball,
Naless was furious.
"You're actually a warrior disguised as a mage!"
However, Naless was prepared to deal with such enemies.
"Co forth, Chaos Knight, my ninth strongest companion!"
Naless muttered to himself, looking at Mike excitedly.
"It seems that this ti it's not a small fry, but a mini-boss."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the Chaos Knight makes a move, all enemies will be defeated!"
In Naless's imagination, the stronger the Chaos Knight, the stronger the enemy Mike
would face!
Ninth?
Mike smiled with satisfaction.
He loved beating up those ranked ninth!
As Naless summoned, a heavily armored Chaos Knight erged from the magic rune, wielding a heavy hamr and urging his Steed to charge at Mike.
Mike didn't take out the Force of Nature or use the Thunderclap Hamr. Instead, he
clenched his fist and t the charge head-on!
Bang! The Chaos Knight was sent flying with a single punch. Mike looked at the helpless Chaos
Knight, feeling only one word:
Refreshing!
"That's it?"
Mike ignored the Chaos Knight he had completely overwheld and beckoned to Naless.
"Bring it on! I'm not in a hurry. I'll let you go all out today!"
Naless's expression turned grave, and he muttered,
"What a crazy boss!"
"It's okay."
Naless encouraged himself.
"Villains who talk too much usually die from talking too much."
Mike: ...
As Mike was left speechless, Naless began to summon even stronger companions.
"Co forth, prehistoric monster from the irradiated seabed, use your world-destroying power to save your companion!"
When the 90,000-ton monster appeared before Mike, its massive body was like a mountain
range, blocking out even the sunlight.
"Now this is interesting."
Mike admired the Godzilla-like monster for a mont, then slightly raised the Force of
Nature.
"Thunderclap Strike!"
Although the monster's appearance was shocking, as expected, it was instantly killed by
lightning.
"Are you done playing?"
Mike walked up to Naless.
Naless was dumbfounded.
He had realized that he was wrong.
This was not a mini-boss, nor was it the final boss.
How could he be this strong?! Looking at the pale-faced Naless, Mike said with a kind smile, "Don't be nervous, I'm a
good guy!" Naless shook his head frantically. "People who start like this are always the villains!" "How do you know I'm Thor, the number one Nine-Star Soldier-tier Lone Wolf?"
Mike waved his hand with a smile. "Don't worry, I an no harm. Besides, even if I did, there's nothing you could do about it."
The boss made a good point. Naless was speechless.
"Lone Wolf... That na sounds familiar. Have I heard it sowhere before?"
Naless looked at Mike warily, afraid that he was up to sothing. From the perspective of challenging the Tower of Truth, Mike had already gotten his
Exploration Rate and there was no need to waste any more ti with Naless.
However, Mike was always a curious person.
This Tower of Truth had been through a lot in the past three hundred years.
Any oddity could be a trace left behind by Morpheus and the others!
Mike had a hunch that Naless might have a secret!
As for what that secret was, Mike needed to dig deeper.
Naless stared at Mike without saying a word. "Don't look at like I'm so world-destroying villain."
Mike tried to communicate with him. "What if I'm your golden ticket? After observing you for
so many years, I've finally recognized you and decided to appear and give you a life-changing
opportunity."
This was very much in line with Naless's thought process.
Naless's eyes lit up. "So you're my golden ticket?"
Mike shook his head. "I'm not."
Naless's mouth twitched, almost cursing. Why did you even say anything if you're not?!
"How about this."
Mike pondered for a mont and spoke again, "Did you see how cool my swing and posture
were when I was playing baseball with the Thunderclap Hamr just now?"
Mike suddenly changed the subject. His 'baseball' performance earlier was flawless in every
detail!
"Want to learn?"
Mike gave his familiar smile. "Tell your secret, and I'll teach you that move."
Naless's expression struggled, as if he was hesitating.
Mike struck while the iron was hot.
"I'll also give you a complete set of Lightning skills so you can protect yourself. Your life will
be much better in the future."
Naless nodded readily. "Deal! It doesn't matter if I tell you this secret. Actually... I'm a
transmigrator."
Naless whispered, blinking at Mike.
His eyes were filled with pride and smugness.
You'd never guess, I'm actually a one-in-a-million transmigrator!!
Transmigrator?!
Hearing this word, Mike raised his eyebrows.
What a coincidence, he was too!
After confessing his biggest secret, Naless was like a dam that had burst, talking non-stop.
"I co from a place called Earth. This world is called the Tower of Truth on Earth. Ordinary
people can only enter the tower for six hours a day, but I'm here all day long. Although I don't
know what floor this is, it looks very dangerous. I think it's at least the 60th floor, no, the 80th
floor..."
Mike: ???
Wait, our transmigrations seem to be a little different.
"Um... excuse ."
Mike cleared his throat and decided to be honest with Naless.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm from Earth."
"What?!"
This ti, it was Naless's turn to be shocked!
"You're from Earth?"
Naless froze in place and muttered, "Then doesn't that an that the thirty-two
interdinsional powerhouses I defeated before..." Mike nodded, picking up where Naless left off.
"That's right, they were all participants from Earth."
For the first thirty-two people, if Naless had just chatted with them a little more, he would
have known the truth.
But those people couldn't defeat Naless's companions.
He had been kept in the dark until now.
All these years, Naless had been living in fear, thinking that he had smuggled into the
Tower of Truth and would be rejected by it, that he might be captured by a boss sent by the Tower of Truth.
Naless never imagined that the beings he considered bosses were actually human
participants, all his compatriots.
"Holy fuck!"
"How could this be?!"
Naless collapsed in the corner, holding his head in his hands, his face full of despair.
His mind was blown!
