Chapter 16: First Kill Achievement, This is a Gaming God!

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar.

The Hellfire Wolf could never have dreamed that it, a mere Boss, would one day witness such a terrifying attack.

It felt as though a sun had exploded right before its eyes!

The attacks, which it regarded as incomparably powerful and exclusive to Lords, were what it had always longed for.

Yet under the opponent's onslaught, they crumbled as easily as paper.

No!

They were gone without even making contact!

Such a force of attack, even the former Lord of Hellhounds, its master, was not worthy of experiencing!

How could it encounter such a fate?

How did it deserve this?

In that moment, the Hellfire Wolf harbored numerous questions.

Why would such a strong human appear in this godforsaken place?

Why did all the parts on that person smell brand new, yet were so absurdly powerful?

Why did it finally manage to get promoted to the rank of a Lord, thinking it was the pinnacle of its life, only to have it all come crashing down in an instant?

Mixed in its emotions were intense reluctance, anger, despair, and profound fear.

Naturally, no one would answer these questions.

If there were anyone to blame, it could only blame its bad luck...

Bringing so many Mechanical Monsters from its homeland, it wanted to unleash a Beast Tide to wipe out Xia City, but instead, it ended up as a mere power bank.

...

Watching the Boss collapse, Xu Gu remained indifferent, without any surprise.

After all, he was SSS-Class, wielding the fully charged Blue Fury Sky Slash!

Killing a One Star Boss, wasn't that a piece of cake?

Keep in mind, he had been building up momentum for a whole day, blocking the gate, slaughtering the entire wave of the Beast Tide!

Whoosh!

A Crystal Energy, as large as a human head, emerged from the body of the Hellfire Wolf and surged into Xu Gu, making his body tremble with power, feeling like he could shatter a mountain with a single punch.

[You have killed a Lord-class Mechanical Monster, the Hellfire Wolf!]

[Creation Points +20000]

[Experience +20000]

[You have obtained a B-Class accessory: Purgatory Cannon]

[Mechanical Man Level has increased! Current level: 8!]

[S-Class accessory Blue Fury Sky Slash Level has increased! Current level: 8!]

[B-Class accessory…]

...

Before Xu Gu had time to rejoice, the Creator System's prompts sounded again.

[Congratulations on achieving the milestone: First Kill of a Lord-class Monster in Xia City!]

[You've earned a reward: An A-Class Defense accessory, Ground State Nitrogen Barrier Shield!]

[Will announce to the entire city.]

[Would you like to hide your name?]

"A-Class accessory?" Xu Gu was moved. To think, he had only obtained a B-Class accessory even after killing a Lord!

Moreover, in the Creation Marketplace, accessories below C-Class could be easily purchased, provided one had sufficient privileges. B-Class accessories, on the other hand, were extremely rare—a mere handful of types.

A-Class accessories were simply not available directly. They could only be exchanged among the Mechanical Men. However, accessories dropped from monsters were mostly bound; unbound accessories were exceptionally rare.

This led to A-Class accessories being incredibly expensive!

And now, he was being rewarded with an A-Class accessory just for achieving a milestone?

Nevertheless, Xu Gu soon came to terms with it. The milestones for Boss first kills had already been claimed in big cities. Small cities like Xia City were dime a dozen throughout the country, but very few had actually been visited by creatures from the Mechanical Abyss.

The simple truth was, not only did people consider these places barren, so did the Mechanical Monsters from the Abyss.

The difficulty of obtaining such a reward was immense.

Without much thought, Xu Gu immediately responded, "Hide it."

While he didn't mind revealing some of his skills and power, he didn't want to reveal everything.

An 8th level defeating a 30th-level Lord would indeed be astonishing.

...

Outside, the members of the Demon Hunting Team were extremely worried.

After all, the Boss inside had now been promoted to a Lord!

His strength must have increased by several times!

They couldn't even defeat a Level 30 War General, let alone a Level 30 Lord!

I'm afraid that even the mysterious powerhouse who just entered might not be a match!

"Boss, do we really have to wait for him here?"

"Let's just make a run for it! That's a Lord we're talking about!"

"We have no relationship with him, even if he comes out, it's unlikely we'll have any interactions! It's not worth losing our lives just to say hello to him!"

"Besides, whether he can come out or not is still an unknown..."

The members of the Demon Hunting Team, feeling the terrifying movement from the depths of the valley, were all trembling in body and mind, gripped by fear.

"But... he saved us..."

Lin Tianli's heart was already wavering, considering whether to abandon waiting for Xu Gu outside and to make a quick escape!

This commotion was too shocking!

It was like the end of the world!

Just then,

Suddenly,

"Boom!"

A loud noise, like Divine Thunder, exploded and swept across all directions.

The members of the Demon Hunting Team, feeling the commotion, instantly turned pale, shocked, and even frightened.

They instinctively turned their heads to look.

Instantly, they saw the most unforgettable scene of their lives!

A gigantic sun, flickering with thousands of blue electric arcs, exploded in the sky, the shockwave sweeping out and stirring up an unimaginable storm, ravaging all directions.

The entire Mechanical Abyss trembled violently.

The ground split open, metallic vegetation shattered, and rocks and wood chips were violently ejected in all directions.

"Bang!"

The nearby members of the Demon Hunting Team, having no time to react, let alone resist, were sent flying dozens of meters away by the terrifying shockwave.

But they had no complaints or dissatisfaction.

Only fear filled their eyes!

"Gulp!"

Someone, unnoticed, started swallowing saliva-like lubricant.

Then,

One after another, people began to swallow hard.

Staring slack-jawed.

Too shocked to speak.

For a long moment,

"Boss, the Lord's presence, it seems to have disappeared..."

"Also, what was that attack just now?! Has the descent of the Mechanical Abyss failed? Was it stopped by a remote intervention from a powerhouse in the Provincial City?!"

"That... that trucker tough guy wouldn't be..."

The members' bodies trembled, still immersed in the shock, speaking with trembling voices.

"No! Impossible! My idol is strong! He must have survived!" Lin Tianli, as if possessed, shook his head frantically, his face pale, disbelieving.

"Although that tough guy is strong, but..." a team member couldn't help but speak.

Everyone knew that under such an attack, even a Level 30 Lord would have fallen.

No one could have survived.

At least, no one in Xia City would ever be capable of that!

But as he spoke, he suddenly fell silent, terror-stricken, looking ahead, his body shaking, screaming out:

"How is this possible!"

Lin Tianli's Power Core suddenly stalled, he intensely turned his head to look back, his pupils constricted, as if he had seen a monster.

He saw a fifteen-meter-tall giant Mechanical Man, with red and blue patterns like burning flames, holding a giant sword flickering with blue Thunderbolt, walking out from the depths of the valley, as if nothing had happened.

"Is that the tough guy?"

"Not only is he unharmed, but he's also completely unscathed?"

Everyone looked at each other and suddenly had an extremely shocking thought.

"Was it him who killed that Lord?"

"Was that attack just now released by the tough guy?"

"My god, such a powerhouse, no! Such a deity, how could he appear here! Shouldn't he be in the Provincial City, or even in the Imperial Capital and Magic City, taking on three-star or even four-star Mechanical Abyss?"

"Thump!"

Lin Tianli suddenly went weak at the knees and actually dropped to the ground.
