Late at night, darkness enveloped the land.
In the Slime Empire, all was silent.
At the level 48 Slime Park, a figure wielded a staff, effortlessly blasting away the slimes scattered throughout the park.
Even when Zhang Yue was equipped with the 5-star Grim Reaper Set, dealing with slimes was a breeze. Now, with the 7-star Void Set, handling level 48 slimes was even easier!
The Void Set’s 40% plus Death’s Eye’s 30% gave Zhang Yue an impressive 70% magic penetration. Coupled with a magic attack power of 5560 points, a casual S-rank skill could inflict over 30,000 damage on a slime!
The damage from the SSS-grade unique skill, Heavenless · Godslayer Curse, could reach an astonishing 70,000!
So, typically, a simple single-target skill combined with the Godslayer Curse could one-shot a level 48 slime with 100,000 health points.
Upon killing a target, the Godslayer Curse would immediately refresh, with no cooldown, allowing Zhang Yue to switch to the next target right away…
In Zhang Yue’s hands, these slimes were nothing more than cannon fodder!
By relentlessly hunting Black Iron Grade slimes, he could promote the spawning of Bronze, Silver, and even higher-grade slimes.
Thus, Zhang Yue summoned the Apocalyptic Black Dragon to start a mass farming mode.
The Dark Skeleton King was responsible for taunting and luring the monsters.
Zhang Yue unleashed a Hell Judgment and Necromancer Storm, in conjunction with the Apocalyptic Black Dragon’s Apocalyptic Dragon Flame and Apocalyptic Dragon Breath.
Effortlessly, he wiped out dozens of slimes in a large area!
This incredible destructive power made the veteran professionals on the same map, who were staying up late to kill slimes and collect medals, question their life choices!
After finishing off this batch of slimes, a Bronze Slime and two Silver Slimes spawned right before his eyes!
Zhang Yue happily took them down!
The experience points harvested from hunting slimes were all allocated to the [Shadow Predator].
Thanks to the Necromancer profession’s effect, which reduces pet leveling experience requirements by 50%, and the Legendary Grade Treasure, the Void Stone, which further reduces it by 30%, the Shadow Predator only needed 20% of the normal experience to level up, making the process feel incredibly smooth!
From 1 AM to 6 AM, Zhang Yue lost count of how many slimes he had killed.
Finally, he completed the task of accumulating 200 Silver Slime kills required for the [Defend the Tribe] mission!
The morning sunlight filtered through the trees, casting its glow over the Slime Park.
Zhang Yue sighed with relief: “No wonder this task has a historical completion rate of only 0.1%!”
Such a task would be impossible to complete alone without someone of Zhang Yue’s strength.
Historically, the 0.1% who completed it were mostly guild leaders of large guilds, using a massive number of guild members to farm Silver Slimes and then finishing them off themselves!
For Zhang Yue, if he hadn’t killed 100 Silver Slimes in the [Slime Forest] Secret Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to complete this task either.
Upon successfully completing the task, Zhang Yue used the experience gained from killing slimes to level up the Shadow Predator from level 0 to level 30!
With only 20% experience requirement, the Shadow Predator’s leveling speed was as smooth as silk!
Zhang Yue returned to the Ottman Tribe, found the tribe leader Ottman, and submitted the task.
“Ding~ Congratulations on completing the [Defend the Tribe] task, receiving rewards: Experience +4 million, Gold Coins +20, Psionic Energy +8 billion! Obtained equipment [Robe of Defense] (Level 45, 6-star)!”
The [Demon Contract] could extract 15% of Zhang Yue’s acquired experience.
By now, it had accumulated over 12 million experience.
Zhang Yue allocated all the experience to the Shadow Predator.
And then…
Streams of golden light cascaded onto the Predator.
Its level rose from 30 to 31, 32, 33… 44, 45!
“So smooth! Incredibly smooth!” Zhang Yue couldn’t help but marvel at the Shadow Predator’s overnight rise from level 0 to 45.
He retrieved the level 45, 6-star [Predator Set] from his storage space, consumed over 25 million psionic energy, and performed a one-click refinement to all gold.
Then he equipped the Shadow Predator.
The rare skill Night Harvest was arranged!
Opening the status panel, it was clear that as a God-level BOSS, the Shadow Predator’s growth far surpassed that of the Skeleton King and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon—
[Shadow Predator] (Physical Type · Epic Grade)
[Owner: Zero]
[Type: Assassin]
[Level: 45] (Experience 250k/1 million/Calculated at 20%)
[Physical Attack: 4580]
[Physical Defense: 2102]
[Magic Defense: 2008]
[Health Points:]
[Mana: 8600]
[Skills: Night Harvest (S-rank rare), Shadow Assault (S-rank), Deadly Shadow Strike (S-rank), Chain Backstab (S-rank)…]
[Special Effect 1: Shadow Hunt (lv4, increases damage by 120% when Shadow Predator’s attack hits a single target)]
[Special Effect 2: Deadly Crit (lv4, increases Shadow Predator’s crit rate by 50% and crit damage by 100%)]
[Special Effect 3: Lightning Speed (lv4, increases Shadow Predator’s movement speed by 100%)]
[Special Effect 4: Extreme Harvest (lv4, increases Shadow Predator’s armor penetration by 50%)]
Strong!
This is incredibly strong!
Even at Epic Grade, the Shadow Predator’s stats and special effects rival those of Mythic Grade pets of the same level!
With a werewolf appearance, clad in a black Shadow Cloak, it exuded an imposing presence!
Zhang Yue was eager to test the Shadow Predator’s combat strength.
Unfortunately, this was a Safe Zone with no monsters.
After much thought, Zhang Yue finally set his sights on the nearby Dark Skeleton King.
“Sorry, Skull Bro.”
Upon Zhang Yue’s command, the Shadow Predator transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from sight.
The next second…
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
The Skeleton King on the other side was struck by a mysterious force’s continuous assault, and before it could react, several high-damage numbers popped up above its head—
-!
-! Crit!
-! Crit!
-…
With a total health of less than 20,000, the Skeleton King’s health bar was instantly reduced to 1 point, even owing the Shadow Predator ten lives!
“Damn, that’s fierce!” Even Zhang Yue couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Shadow Predator’s greatest strength lay in its single-target burst.
Because of this, its group attack capability was relatively weak, with no AOE skills, all being single-target.
So compared to the group-attacking Apocalyptic Black Dragon, each had its strengths, making it hard to determine which was superior.
But one thing was certain: among the three pets, the Skeleton King was undoubtedly the weakest in combat power.
At this moment, Zhang Yue turned his attention to the tribe leader Ottman.
“Chief, I’ve collected some Slime Medals and would like to exchange them for a title.”
Having heard this countless times, Ottman, whose ears had grown calloused, replied nonchalantly, “Come, adventurer, do you have Silver or Gold Grade Slime Medals?”
Zhang Yue took out a dark red medal and handed it to Ottman.
“Inferno Grade Slime Medal!”
Ottman, who had only ever seen King Grade Slime Medals at most in the past century, was utterly stunned!
Even his address for Zhang Yue changed: “Hero, how did you obtain this medal?”
Zhang Yue was only concerned with one thing: “Can I exchange this medal for a title?”
“Yes, you can.” Ottman accepted the medal and waved his hand in front of Zhang Yue.
Golden light cascaded down.
“Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining the Inferno Grade title [Godslayer]!”
