Chapter 317: The Ident.i.ty of a Mercenary!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The move that Mike was thinking of was his original move, the Sacred Dragon Spear Technique.
Mike’s long spear seemed to come to life, turning into a holy dragon that circled around Mike’s hand. Mike’s one arm had turned into a towering jade pillar, which was the source of the Holy Dragon’s energy.
The two of them also felt a powerful energy fluctuation from Mike’s one arm. They immediately became alert and began to set up the strongest defense. However, it was too late. A Holy Dragon had already arrived in front of Mike. Before the two of them could react, the holy dragon exploded. In an instant, the powerful shock wave directly flattened the small hill below. There were no living things within a radius of nearly a hundred miles.
The people from the castle stood hundreds of miles away and looked at this scene in shock. They were speechless for a long time.
The two of them fell heavily to the ground. Mike instantly appeared in front of them. He did not give them the chance to say their last words and immediately destroyed them.
Mike stood in the huge pit that he had created and looked at the direction in which the people from the castle had retreated. After hesitating for a while, he chose another direction and ran away.
Mike thought that he had not accepted the group of people who had bullied him in the past and did not treat him as their family, so he did not expect them to accept him. Along the way, he also learned about the situation in the foreign world from Roland. He also told Roland that he was leaving, so Mike left very decisively.
Three days later, Mike arrived at the City of G.o.ds, a big city 100,000 miles away.
After entering the city, Mike did not hesitate at all and went directly to the local Mercenary Union.
According to Leon, the Northern Region was different from the Otherworld. The Mercenary Union here had enormous power. The top Castle Lord could even compete with the aristocratic families.
Mike was skeptical about this, but he still went to the door of the Mercenary Union and chose to register as a mercenary.
Five minutes later, a metal nameplate appeared in Mike’s hand. Mike slightly injected his divine power into the metal nameplate, and a line of words appeared on it.
‘Mike, C rank mercenary, mission completion number: 0. Strength a.s.sessment: Unknown, Castle Lord: None.’
The corner of Mike’s mouth curled up slightly. He knew that his path as a mercenary officially began today.
He wanted to build a strong Castle Lord so that he could acc.u.mulate resources for the liberation of the Otherworld in the future, be it in terms of personnel or resources.
However, Mike did not say that he would immediately build a Castle Lord. He felt that the people who came now were usually weaklings. No matter how many there were, it would be useless. It would only increase his burden.
He decided to make a name for himself first. This way, there would be more people who came because of his fame, and his strength would also be higher.
Mike looked at the mission board that front of him and chose a mission to hunt heaven-tier magical beasts.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to accept the mission, but he b.u.mped into the hand of another person beside him.
The owner of the hand was a young man with an arrogant expression. Mike sensed that the young man’s strength was at the mid-tier 10-stars. He could blow him up with one punch.
Mike ignored the hand and continued to reach for the mission board.
“You want to try moving forward again?”
Mike’s hand directly touched the mission board. With a ‘ding’, Mike had accepted the mission.
The young man immediately flew into a rage. He looked at Mike and pulled out the sword at his waist with a whoosh.
The originally lively hall instantly quieted down. Everyone looked at Mike and the young man as if they were waiting for a good show to happen.
Mike ignored him and turned around to leave. In his opinion, having a conflict with such a person would lower his status.
The young man became more and more furious. He raised his long sword and slashed towards Mike.
In the next second, the young man’s hand was fixed in the air, as if there was an invisible grip on him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of the restraint.
“It’s the heaven-tier. He’s actually a heaven-tier powerhouse!”
People’s eyes changed when they looked at Mike, and they looked at the young man with gloating eyes.
The young man’s face also changed, but his eyes instantly returned to their original fierce look. He looked at Mike and said, “So what if you’re a heaven-tier? My father is the leader of the Gray Snake Castle, a 5-star heaven-tier powerhouse. If you know what’s good for you, let me go immediately!”
A pa.s.serby said, “It’s that infamous lord of Gray Snake Castle. I heard that they’ve killed their employers several times.”
Mike grinned and said, “I see. No wonder they bullied a disabled person like me.”
Mike’s expression suddenly became fierce. He clenched his fist, and the young man flew out screaming.
Mike’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the middle-aged man drinking on the table in the distance and asked, “Are you his father?”
The man shook his head and said, “If I were his father, you would have been dead long ago. How could you still stand here and speak! I’m just a kind pa.s.ser-by. I saved his life and yours. If this continues, you guys will become mortal enemies. Sooner or later, one of you will be destroyed.”
At this moment, someone in the crowd said, “I know him. He’s the Busybody Karai. He specializes in fighting injustice.”
Karai stood up, bowed to the crowd, and said, “They are all nicknames for friends who play chess. I just have an old-fas.h.i.+oned man. I’m not as good as you guys say.”
Mike looked at Karai with a strange expression and said, “Since brother Karai has made a move, I will back down.”
After saying that, Mike walked out of the door.
Karai wanted to stop Mike, but he saw Mike turn around. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. Karai was shocked. He actually forgot what he wanted to say. He just watched Mike Walk out of the mission hall.
When Mike walked out of the mission hall, he found that two people were following him. He sneered and was not in a hurry. He just walked out of the city slowly.
Mike flew in the sky. He could feel hundreds of people following him closely. Mike sneered and slowed down to prevent the group of people from losing him.
Six hours later, the two groups of people had walked more than a thousand miles. Mike stopped and looked at the group of people behind him. The group of people behind him also stopped.
The person who had been restrained by Mike just now rode out on his magical beast. He pointed at Mike’s nose and said, “I hope you can still be as arrogant as you were just now.”
Another person walked out. He looked at Mike and said, “My friend, it’s okay to provoke my nephew. What don’t we sit down and talk about? Let’s pretend that nothing happened, how about it?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Mike did not say anything. He just looked at that person indifferently. Then, he let out a cold laugh. His eyes were gradually shrouded in a blood-red color.
The killing intent quickly spread out and enveloped everyone.
