Chapter 42: The Overlord-tier Exotic Beast’s Rage, and Mike’s Desperate Survival
“Mi… Lord Mike, please spare us. We have been captured by these damn exotic beasts as well. We’re all citizens of Earth!”
As Mike looked at the traitors of Earth grovelling before him and begging for mercy, he felt no trace of sympathy in his heart.
He knew that if he let them go today, they would only be back to cause even more trouble in the future.
The best solution was to make these traitors shut their mouths forever.
“You have the nerve to say that you’re citizens of Earth? When you allied with these exotic beasts and the royal palaces to attack Ledda City, were you thinking of us as your compatriots?”
While the Earth traitors were still kneeling on the ground, balls of burning flames instantaneously devoured their bodies.
The Overlord-tier Exotic Beast watched on at the situation unfolding in front of its eyes, and its eyes widened in disbelief.
Although it now had strength close to that of a king, its chances of winning against Mike, who looked to be unrivalled, was still not great.
As his wicked flames consumed the last of the Earth traitors, Mike finally set his sights onto the Overlord Beast.
He leered at the Overlord Beast, standing upright under the huge banyan tree. At this moment, he found no emotions other than anger in his heart.
“Long time no see, you damned creature. You’ve been destined to die here today.”
The Overlord Beast seemed to understand Mike’s words.
It was obscure if it had been out of fear or caution, but it actually retreated a few steps.
“Roar!”
The beast directed a guttural roar at Mike.
As the hidden information of the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast flashed past Mike’s eyes, he could not help but frown.

[Description: Warning! This is an Overlord-tier Exotic Beast that possesses strength close to that of a Prince-tier Exotic Beast. It possesses extremely powerful destructive ability, and it is currently in a berserk state. Please be extremely cautious of its Dark Light. If you are hit by Dark Light, death is imminent. Moreover, its Immortal Body allows it to greatly increase its own magic resistance. Please exercise caution in choosing this method of attack. Although this Overlord-tier Exotic Beast has extremely high Magic Attack, its skills can only deal single-target damage. It doesn’t have any AoE damage skills, and its speed is slow. It can take the form of a kite to launch attacks.]
[Important note: This Exotic Beast will drop key blueprints and Miracle Fragments! Attacking it is highly recommended but please be careful.]
‘270 million hp? Its strength has increased so much in such a short period of time since the last time I saw it!’
‘However much I may want the key blueprints and Miracle Fragments… I still have to be alive to get them, right?’
Seeing the data of this Overlord-tier Exotic Beast, Mike couldn’t stop himself from drawing a sharp breath.
Just as he was hesitating, clusters of black, highly corrosive venom attacked him from behind. The venom quickly corroded the tree that had been against his back, instantly reducing the once towering tree into dust.
Mike noticed that after the toxic liquid had devoured the tree, the soil that had been beneath it had morphed into a terrifying color that was neither black nor brown.
‘Is this the strength of a beast that has power close to that of a King?”
Without giving Mike any more time to think, clusters of terrifying black flames shot around and scorched the land behind him.
The dark flames immediately ignited the surrounding vegetation, forming a huge ebony ring of fire in its wake.
‘Looks like this Exotic Beast intends to fight to the death with me!’
Looking around at his surroundings, Mike understood that if he didn’t utilize all of his strength in this battle, he would probably not make it out alive today.
The flames did not seem to have any intention of stopping. Not only was the fire getting bigger and bigger, the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast was also unceasingly launching more and more fiery attacks.
Mike dodged around quickly while trying to think of a countermeasure.
‘I must stay away from the light. It was mentioned in the hidden message just now that I can’t be hit by Dark Light!’
Mike did a somersault, easily evading the Black Flames shot at him by the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast.
After leaping into the air, he landed on a branch of the banyan tree that had not been completely burned up.
In an instant, the terrifying black venom once again gushed toward Mike’s face.
He was left with no choice but to jump off the branch. In the blink of an eye, the branch that had been supporting him was reduced into nothingness.
‘With such frequent attacks, there is no space for me to fight back! What should I do?’
[Hidden Information: Due to this Overlord-tier Exotic Beast’s unnatural advancement methods, although its spells’ attack speed is extremely fast, it will have to enter a recovery phase every once in a while. Seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack.]
‘So this beast has a recovery phase. Okay, I understand!’
After dodging a few more savage attacks of the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast, Mike saw that it had indeed stopped attacking.
The beast now held its head in both hands, showing an abnormally painful expression.
“Roar! Roar ~”
Noticing the strange behavior of the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast, he hurriedly seized the opportunity, yelling out, “Rain of Fire!”
Countless flames descended upon the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast, but the moment they touched its skin, they were quickly extinguished.
Masses of black smoke quickly filled the entire battlefield.
Once the smoke dispersed, Mike saw that the Overlord-tier Exotic Beast had clearly already completed its recovery. He had lost the opportunity to attack. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
There was barely any time to dodge as another wave of black flames rushed toward Mike.
In his panic, he observed that the skin on the beast’s body had become thicker.
‘Is this the Immortal Body? It really has an immunity to magic damage… Looks like the hidden message was right.’
At that moment, Mike suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving around restlessly in his backpack.
Opening it, he found that it was the source spirit, flashing with a light that he had never seen before.
