Chapter 97: Logan Gets Hit, Defeat the Boss, and Get the Reward

"Now!" Alex didn’t hesitate. His magic power surged through his body. The summon he had already placed started to move, releasing Soul-Eater Spore.

These spores were invisible and colorless. They only targeted souls.

Aiden had no way to escape at all!

At the same time, the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s health had dropped to just 10%. It was shaking all over, covered in wounds, and blood was pouring out of it. It was almost dead.

"Human, I’ll take you all with me to death!" The scales on the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent suddenly stood up.

Each scale was as big as a car door. When they all stood up, it was very ugly and made people feel uncomfortable.

And under the scales, the normal flesh started to quickly split open.

These wounds opened strangely, and then a pair of red snake eyes appeared suddenly inside them.

"Death Sucking Soul!" The Soul-Eater Demon Serpent roared.

Its body was covered with tens of thousands of snake eyes, all glowing red at the same time. Anyone who was caught in that red light felt their soul being pulled by a strange strength.

Luckily, the examinees’ souls didn’t become weak. They just became stiff and couldn’t move, but there was no real danger to their lives.

As Alex saw the change in the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent, his face lit up with excitement.

Aiden was finished!

But just as Alex thought that, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from where Aiden had been standing just a moment ago.

"Fuck! Who the hell kicked me?" Logan had no idea what was happening.

He just felt someone kicked him from behind. The huge strength sent him flying, completely unprepared.

Before he could even figure out who had attacked him, he suddenly felt his body become heavy, his legs weak, and it felt like he was sinking into water.

Alex’s eyes widened instantly. His pupils stretched to the maximum.

"How? How could it be Logan? Where is Aiden?"

"Where is Aiden?"

"Oh no, oh no, Logan is going to die!"

Alex trembled all over, feeling like he had fallen into ice. He was about to shout loudly at the proctor, but then he suddenly realized—doing that would expose everything!

Not only would he die, but his family would be killed too.

"Where is Aiden? Aiden!"

Alex turned his head wildly and saw Aiden standing where Logan had been, smiling at him.

To be honest, the Blazing Tornado skill wasn’t just good for dealing damage. It was also perfect for hiding from others’ eyes.

When Aiden sensed Alex’s move, he cast Blazing Tornado and then immediately used Shadow Stealth.

After that, he quickly moved to the back of Logan and kicked him without any warning.

Aiden had only wanted Alex to die, but Logan had somehow entered the special area.

Aiden would never miss such a great chance.

Then, Aiden saw red light shining on Logan. His face instantly twisted, and his body became as stiff as a statue, completely motionless.

A gray-white shadow suddenly flew out of Logan’s body, pulled by some strange strength, and rushed toward the dying Soul-Eater Demon Serpent.

Sam, who was nearby, immediately widened his eyes.

"Logan! Fuck, something’s wrong!"

He didn’t hesitate for a second and quickly flew toward Logan.

At the same time, other examiners around also noticed something was wrong.

"One of the examinees has a problem with their soul!"

"Quick, go help!"

"What’s going on? It’s not even fifteen minutes yet. How could an examinee’s soul be getting weak?"

"Stop thinking and go save him!"

A dozen examiners moved as fast as they could.

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that an examinee’s soul would really be about to be eaten by the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent.

Ruby took a deep breath, and while flying toward the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent as fast as she could, she shouted to Sam.

"Quick, kill the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent!"

Jade didn’t hesitate. She raised her long sword and was about to attack again.

But at that moment, a terrifying ice energy suddenly appeared around the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent.

"Ultimate Frost!" Aiden’s eyes were cold, and he immediately cast the skill.

The huge body of the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent was only partially frozen.

But luckily, a hard icy area appeared right in front of Jade.

She had to change direction, wasting a little time before she could attack the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent.

Aiden saw this and automatically looked up. He saw Logan’s soul had become very faint, almost like it was disappearing, with his limbs nearly gone.

"It’s probably too late to save him."

Aiden continued to cast his skills. Now he wanted to kill this level 50 Soul-Eater Demon Serpent to increase the progress of Bane of All Races.

"Demon’s Domain!"

"Thunder’s Wrath!"

"Metal Element Arrow!"

Boom!

Three powerful skills were released one after another, very fast and precise. All of them hit the dying Soul-Eater Demon Serpent.

[Defeated Epic Boss Soul-Eater Demon Serpent, Experience + 350,000]

...

[Defeated Epic Boss Soul-Eater Demon Serpent, Experience + 350 million]

[Obtained Epic materials: Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s Heart x1000, Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s Scale x1000, Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s Eye x1000, Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s Fang x1000, Soul-Eater Demon Serpent’s Gallbladder x1000...]

[Obtained Skill Book: Soul Protection (Epic)]

[Obtained Rare Item: Skill Enhancement Stone (Epic)]

350 million experience?

Aiden was a bit surprised. It seemed that with his current strength, he had to defeat a level 50 Epic-tier boss in order to trigger a 1000x bonus!

Next, Aiden quickly passed by the large amount of Epic materials. These were all for Faye.

In the coming days, Faye could eat and grow quickly.

When he saw the skill book, his eyes immediately lit up. An Epic-level skill book on souls!

[ Soul Protection: Epic, creates an invisible soul shield around the Reclaser’s body. It can warn of incoming soul attacks and withstand a lot of soul damage. It does not cost mana, but requires soul-related materials to use, and can stay active for a long time. ]

[ Skill Enhancement Stone: Epic, a rare item. When used, it can enhance skills below Epic tier, increasing their level. Some special skills cannot be used. ]

A soul protection skill alone was already a big surprise for Aiden. He was seriously short on soul-related skills.

And now, there was also a Skill Enhancement Stone, which could raise the level of his existing skills.

This item was far more valuable than an Epic skill book.

After all, an Epic skill book might not even suit him, but the Skill Enhancement Stone could improve the skills he already had.

"Wow, that’s two good things at once!" Aiden said with a sigh.

He saw that as soon as the Soul-Eater Demon Serpent died, nearby examiners had already reached Logan’s side and were trying to save him.

But after a while, Logan still didn’t open his eyes, and the examiners looked very worried.

Aiden knew right away that Logan was really gone.

Sure enough, he heard someone sigh and say."It’s too late. His soul is badly damaged. Without a lot of Miko’s soul essence, he’ll never wake up. He’ll just be a vegetable for the rest of his life."

"Can Miko’s soul essence fix him?"

"Yes, but it’s really hard. The amount needed is huge. At least seven or eight hundred pieces of Miko’s soul essence, and the level has to be high—Diamond Rank or above."

Many examiners fell silent. Getting that much Miko soul essence was almost impossible, even if they sent an army into the Miko’s territory in the Abyss.

"What the hell happened? At first, Logan didn’t even show up. His soul couldn’t have gotten weak so fast!" Some examiners frowned.

This was a big problem. They had to report it, and they would definitely be punished.

After all, this was the Great Shaw Empire’s royal genius Reclaser, Logan.

At that moment, Sam gritted his teeth and looked at Aiden, shouting loudly.

"IT’S HIM! IT’S AIDEN WHO DID IT!"

"Logan wasn’t here at first. I don’t know how, but after Aiden used a skill, Logan suddenly changed position!"

"It must be Aiden!"

In an instant, all the nearby examiners turned their eyes toward Aiden.

Faced with so many stares, Aiden stayed calm. He smiled and said.

"I don’t have that kind of power. I couldn’t have made Logan’s soul weak."

"But you can ask that examinee named Alex. I saw him use a skill on Logan just now."

Aiden slowly looked at Alex.

Alex was trembling all over, his face pale and sweaty.

He swallowed hard and looked at Aiden with a hateful expression, biting his teeth and saying.

"Aiden, you should be the one who dies!"

"This time we failed, but there will be more. The next time, and the one after that!"

"As long as you’re alive, we’ll always be watching you. Death will always be hanging over you!"

"The Abyss is coming. The world will be destroyed. Only by embracing the Abyss, by bowing to the Abyss, can you get the god’s mercy." Alex shouted crazily.

This speech made the surrounding examiners’ faces change instantly.

There was no doubt—Alex was definitely a member of the Evil Demons Guild!

"Quick, catch him!" One examiner quickly moved to control Alex right away.

Alex showed no sign of trying to run. He knew he couldn’t escape.

This was a secret realm. Even if he could run away, his family would be killed anyway.

A cold look flashed in Alex’s eyes. He had a poison capsule between his teeth.

If he died, they would learn nothing.

His facial muscles suddenly tightened, and he was about to commit suicide!
