Chapter 12 The Boss is a Big Bad Guy

"You have devoured 138 ordinary Goblins, five Rank 45 Big Goblins, and one Rank 54 Goblin Priest. Congratulations on gaining — [Mental Energy +37], [Strength +25], [Agility +10], [Lv0 Undead Summoning → Lv2 Undead Summoning], [Lv2 Fortitude]!"

[Lv2 Undead Summoning]: Consumes 100 points of magic power to randomly summon one low-level Undead Creature for your use.

This summoned creature can exist outside for a long time or can be retracted into the summoning space. The current limit is 10.

[Lv2 Fortitude]: Consumes 20 points of magic power. You can temporarily increase your own Strength (+5) and Physique (+5).

"You have picked up the Goblins' loot — [3 Gold Coins, 3 Silver Coins, 33 Copper Coins]!"

Mu An happily accepted these 'gifts' from the Goblins.

However, a small accident occurred while devouring the Demon's claw.

During the devouring process, a scarlet light suddenly emerged from it and shot toward Mu An at extreme speed.

This time, Nina blocked the front in advance, not retreating a single step, with a look of determination to die.

But that scarlet light didn't seem interested in her and rushed directly into Mu An's body.

"You have devoured the Demon Clone's severed claw. Congratulations on gaining — [Mental Energy +80], [Lv1 Demon Transformation], [Health Limit permanently +1000]!"

"Warning: You have been marked by Demon Brewster."

[Lv1 Demon Transformation]: Consumes 200 points of magic power. You will transform into Demon form.

All attributes are temporarily doubled, pain perception is nullified, lasting for thirty seconds.

[Demon Brewster's Curse]: The hatred level of some magic creatures toward you will rise sharply!

No matter where you are, there is a high probability of being attacked by them.

When the number of such magic creatures killed exceeds 500, a Clone of Demon Brewster will descend.

When the cumulative number of kills exceeds 10,000, the true form of Demon Brewster will descend.

——————

Looking at this curse, Mu An couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

For others, this might be a troublesome curse that makes one's scalp tingle.

But for a cheater like Mu An, forcibly drawing aggro is nothing.

As long as the monsters drawn in aren't excessively powerful, they are just nourishment sent to him to continuously devour and grow stronger!

And there's no need to worry too much about the Demon Clone or the true form descending.

Heaven knows how powerful Mu An's strength will become after devouring 10,000 magic creatures!

"This Demon is really a good person!"

Mu An couldn't help but exclaim.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Nina was full of worry, trying hard to stand on tiptoe, attempting to touch the man's forehead.

However, her height was a fatal flaw, making it look like she was lying on Mu An's chest acting spoiled.

After all.

Normal people wouldn't call a Demon a good person!

They are the most abominable and notorious bad guys in the world.

They specialize in harvesting the Souls of thousands of living beings!

Mu An smiled and shook his head.

"I'm fine."

"Are you really fine? How many is this? Count with me, one, two, three... ah... ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The young girl showed her fingers, trying to test whether Mu An's sanity was clear, but Mu An expressionlessly gave her a flick to the forehead.

The young girl could only squat on the ground, aggrievedly covering her head.

[It hurts! The boss is a big bad guy!!]

"Go quickly and find the treasure you sensed. If you perform well, I'll give you extra food tonight."

Mu An once again activated his 'dangling a carrot' skill.

Nina: !

Extra food?!

Although Nina didn't know what the extra food was, the moment she thought of the 'fried egg pot' she had eaten before, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

At this moment, Elena had already walked out of the cave with heavy steps, holding something that looked similar to an urn in her hands.

Mu An scanned the situation inside the cave through the [Enemy Detection Radar] and found that there were no Goblins left alive.

It seemed she had already found the answer she wanted.

After signaling Nina to act quickly, Mu An and Elena started chatting again.

Unlike Mu An's silence, the other party spoke first, her voice slightly hoarse and tired.

"I owe you a favor for this."

"If you have anything in the future, you can come to the 40th floor of the Forest of Elves to find me."

"Whether it's going through fire and water, or facing life and death, I will not refuse."

"By the way, my name is Elena Silter."

It was correct to say she 'owed a favor'.

If Mu An and Nina hadn't suddenly joined, it might have been impossible for Elena alone to defeat those five Big Goblins.

Not to mention the subsequent Goblin Priest and the Demon summoned by it.

And if those preceding conditions hadn't been met, she obviously wouldn't have been able to retrieve her friend's ashes and relics!

Mu An nodded.

His gaze subconsciously fell on that small nanmu wood box.

Elena subconsciously hugged it a little tighter, her eyes filled with a bit more hatred and Killing Intent.

"Those damned dirty creatures dared to defile... forget it, I will take her home, I definitely will!"

These words sounded like she was saying them to Mu An, and also like she was saying them to herself.

Or perhaps she was saying them to the Elf who had already moved into the box.

Elena left.

The top priority was still to let her friend's Soul return to the embrace of the Elf Mother Tree as soon as possible.

And before leaving, Mu An also obtained a secret from her.

"Do not cross the 50th floor of the labyrinth unless you are absolutely certain."

"From the 50th floor onwards, every floor will be guarded by powerful magic creatures. Their Ranks are generally above 100, which is extremely dangerous."

There is even a saying that everything above the 50th floor is the outer perimeter of the labyrinth, everything below the 50th floor is the inner perimeter, and everything below the 80th floor is the core area.

Mu An was thoughtful after hearing this.

Currently, his Rank was only at thirty, and there was still a long way to go before reaching one hundred.

So his preliminary plan was to raise his own Rank.

And as much as possible, devour various magic creatures to obtain their powerful skills.

It would be best to upgrade these skills to the highest level to increase his trump cards and strength.

"Boss, I'm back."

Just like before, Nina returned with a pile of treasures.

It's just that she didn't seem to be in high spirits.

"What's wrong? You're dejected; didn't you find any good treasures?"

Mu An smiled and asked.

Nina shook her head and didn't speak.

She silently poured out all the treasures she had searched for from her sack.

Mu An scanned them a few times and saw his beloved 'precious money'.

Of course, compared to these things, he was now more concerned about his employee's state.

"If there's anything, you can tell your boss directly; keeping it inside is easy to make you sick."

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just... there are many females of different races inside, they... they were all... ugh..."

Under Mu An's patient guidance, Nina finally spoke.

Just recalling what she saw and heard inside the cave, the young girl couldn't help but gag.

Many female corpses were imprisoned inside, their hands and feet bound by chains and fixed to wooden stakes in a spread-eagled position, their bodies completely naked.

Their bodies were covered with terrifying new and old wounds, their eyes were dull, and some had even had their eyes gouged out or their tongues cut off.

The only remaining value for them was to completely become breeding machines for this Goblin tribe!

They would even eventually end up as food for the newborn baby Goblins...

Fortunately, before Nina went in, Elena had completely killed these Goblins and humans, which could be considered helping them escape from this Hell.

And every time she saw these tragic scenes, Nina couldn't help but think.

If she had been caught by those few Goblins at that time, would she have met the same fate?

At the same time, she also felt that she was very lucky, very lucky to have met Mu An, this 'savior'.

Although the other party liked to bully her from time to time, compared to the tragic fate of becoming a breeding machine.

She still preferred working by the side of this boss who would give her extra food from time to time!

Even if she had to work for a lifetime, she would have no regrets!
