As soon as Dora finished speaking, Aiden stopped using his skill and looked around carefully.
A second later, a shower of golden arrows cut through the air, flying toward the Rock Giant that Aiden had already hurt badly.
"Stealing the boss?"
Aidenâs eyes turned cold. He thought it was just someone passing by, but he didnât expect them to be so unreasonable and try to attack the Rock Giant.
He just needed to kill the Rock Giant to finish the "Bane of All Races" quest.
No accident could happen now!
Aiden looked sharp and calculated the path of the arrows.
Then, his Iron Dragonâs Magic Staff started to glow, and the sky became even darker.
A huge amount of lightning energy appeared right in front of the golden arrow shower.
Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thunderâs Wrath was a large-area skill, attacking everything in the area. The arrows were hit by the lightning, and their path changed.
After using Thunderâs Wrath, Aiden quickly gathered ten Metal Element Arrows in front of him.
He watched the Rock Giant closely and shot all the arrows he had gathered.
[Metal Element Arrow: Epic. It uses golden elements to create one or more arrows. It ignores 30% of the enemyâs physical and magic defense, dealing a critical hit and causing high damage. The more arrows, the more mana it uses. The speed and power of the arrows depend on your Spirit attribute.
You can master five different element arrows: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Combining them can create the Legendary Rank skill. "Element Arrow."]
The Epic-level Demonâs Domain had already reduced the Rock Giantâs physical and magic defense by 20%. And the Metal Element Arrow could ignore another 30% of defense.
With only 50% of its health left, the Rock Giant was now very weak against Aidenâs powerful skills.
After all ten Metal Element Arrows hit the Rock Giant, its health dropped to zero instantly. The huge body crashed down with a loud noise, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Aidenâs the Abyss Demon cloak behind him quickly fluttered. He didnât check the message prompt. Instead, he turned around, pulled out a mana recovery potion, and quickly drank it. He coldly looked at the figures far away.
"Wow, that speed is crazy. The boss just died?" A young man with red hair, holding a bow, shouted loudly.
Behind him was a woman in a black jacket and sunglasses, and a tall guy who was at least two meters tall.
"Bruno, even if your attack hit the boss, it wouldnât have killed it." the woman in sunglasses said sarcastically.
The red-haired guy named Bruno gave a cold laugh and replied.
"Elise, shut up. Have I ever told you that a woman is most beautiful when sheâs quiet?"
After saying that, he threw his bow into the air. When the bow came back down, three golden lights suddenly appeared on the string, aiming directly at Aiden.
"Kid, that boss you just killed was my target." Bruno shouted.
Aiden frowned but ignored him, instead focusing his eyes on the big guy.
Dora came closer and whispered. "I just used my detection skill to get info on them. It costs 1 million."
"So heâs at least a level 80 Reclasser, and his professional tier isnât low."
After hearing Doraâs words, Aiden looked at her in surprise.
A Money Warrior class, even using a detection skill, required money or high-value items?
Although Aiden didnât ask out loud, Dora seemed to guess what he was thinking and nodded in annoyance.
"Reimburse." Aiden said coldly.
Doraâs eyes lit up. Her blue eyes suddenly showed gold coins, and she quickly said.
"Bruno, male, Epic class, Endless Archer, level 45, 20 years old."
"Elise, female, Epic class, Soul-Devouring Mage, level 49, 21 years old."
"Rayne, male, Legendary Rank class, Savage Bear Warrior, level 80, 37 years old."
After saying that, Dora quickly pulled out her little notebook and started writing down the information.
Aiden couldnât help but widen his eyes. Doraâs detection skill was too strong, how could she even know the other personâs age?
But it didnât really help much.
"Hey kid, am I talking to a deaf person?"
"That Rock Giant was my target!" Bruno shouted angrily.
He let go of his bow, and three golden lights shot toward Aiden instantly.
Just as Dora was about to use a skill, Aiden said. "Wait, let me handle it first."
"Blacklight Ward."
A black ball of light quickly covered Aiden and Dora.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The three impacts happened almost at the same time.
Aiden looked at the Blacklight Ward shield. It only had a small crack, no big deal.
"Damn it, you blocked my attack. Who the hell are you?" Brunoâs eyes showed a bit of warning.
"Are you a dog? Just barking all the time." Aiden frowned and said without holding back.
Whoeverâs boss it was, it was obviously just trying to take the boss from him.
Plus, this boss was specially left by Luke for him.
And when Aiden started fighting, the boss had no injuries at all.
He hadnât even started to bother this red-haired guy, but the guy kept shouting and making a scene. That really annoyed him.
"You just insulted me?" Brunoâs face suddenly turned dark. He looked at Elise next to him, then at the big guy at the end.
His warning slowly disappeared, replaced by anger.
"You actually called me a dog? Kid, canât you see the situation right now?"
"Weâre three people, and youâre only two!" Bruno shouted.
Dora nodded and added. "Right, boss, heâs making sense."
"If a fight breaks out, itâll cost a lot of resources."
"Maybe we should just go back?"
As long as Aiden was safe, Dora thought avoiding a fight was the best choice.
But Bruno heard her.
"Hahaha, now you want to run? Itâs too late!"
"You took my boss, so you have to pay. I think your staff looks nice. Hand it over, and weâll think about letting you go." Bruno laughed.
Elise, the woman in sunglasses, frowned slightly and whispered.
"Let them go? That kid probably has a lot of good gear. If they live, they might cause trouble."
Bruno smiled and whispered back. "Donât worry. Once he gives up the staff, his power will drop. Then itâll be easier to deal with them."
"Boss, what do you think?"
Bruno and Elise looked at the big guy behind them. The guy nodded silently, stretched his neck, and walked toward Dora.
"If you know whatâs good for you, do what he says. Otherwise, youâll regret it soon." Rayne said in a rough voice.
Dora sighed and looked at Aiden.
She was just a bodyguard. What to do next was up to the boss.
Aiden frowned. Where did these three come from?
This wasnât the wild. It was the outer area of the Shattered Godâs Ruins. Normally, only important people from other countries could come here at this time.
But these three gave Aiden a completely different feeling. They were like bandits.
"Which country are you from, Reclassers?" Aiden couldnât help but ask.
"Country? Hahaha, kid, have you ever heard of The Chaotic City? If you have, your legs should already be shaking." Bruno laughed loudly.
The Chaotic City?
Aiden looked at Dora. He didnât know much about other countries.
After all, most of his time was spent on improving his strength.
Doraâs face turned serious and worried.
"The Chaotic City is a special place on Earth. Thereâs no government, no law, no order. Itâs called the City of Crime, the City of Evil."
"Rayne, I think I remember. This guy burned down a town in the Great Shaw Empire. He was wanted by the empire and then ran to The Chaotic City."
No wonder these three Reclassers looked like bandits. They came from a place like that.
It seemed that there was also a secret realm entrance near The Chaotic City.
Aiden sighed. He had originally thought about blocking the entrance to the secret realm, but now it seemed impossible.
There was no way around itâthere was just too little information.
But at least there had been a big breakthrough in the matter of the Shattered Godâs Ruins, and he had also completed the Bane of All Races quest.
"Now that you know where weâre from, donât waste your breath resisting. Donât worry, we just want money and gear. We wonât hurt you."
"Of course, as long as you cooperate." Bruno said again, raising his bow and aiming it at Aiden.
Dora whispered. "Reclassers from The Chaotic City are much stronger than those from other countries. They fight almost every day. The weak ones are already dead."
"Should we run?"
Aiden looked at her and asked. "Can you hold off Rayne? Iâll take the other two."
Dora hesitated. She had no problem at all. As long as she was willing to spend materials, killing Rayne wasnât impossible.
"Boss, the other two are higher level. Their strength isnât weak. Can you handle them?"
"I wonât be able to protect you during the fight." Dora said, adjusting her cap.
Aiden smiled and said. "Youâre underestimating me. Letâs go. Running away like this would be too embarrassing."
