Just call me Thor

Is there really such a good deal?

Given Mike's current strength, as long as he hides in the shadows, he has a high chance of one-shotting a nine-tier Lord.

Thunderclap Strike can deal massive damage, and if you add a thirty-layer Charge Up, the damage becomes terrifying.

What demon creature could withstand such high damage?

Having settled the most important matter of dividing the spoils, Mike humbly asked, "Amari, I haven't killed a nine-tier Lord before. Anything I should watch out for?"

Amari didn't know how to respond. He almost blurted out: I'm a nine-tier Lord too, want to practice on me?

A nine-tier Lord is a top-tier force in any faction.

But to Thor, it sounded as weak as a slime in an instance.

"Ahem."

Amari cleared his throat and began, "Once you reach Chief tier strength, you can create a Sea of Truth, which the demon race calls the Abyssal Sea."

Clearly, there were many high-tier combat basics that Thor didn't know, and Amari needed to explain.

Mike had fought against a demon race Chief before.

But that was in the Forest of Truth, the human race's home turf.

In the Forest of Truth, the demon race's strength was greatly diminished, let alone summoning the Abyssal Sea—it was impossible.

Amari continued, "A Chief tier demon creature has a gem embedded in its forehead, one gem for each tier. The Abyssal Sea is usually hidden within the gem.

During battle, it can be summoned to assist. Until the Abyssal Sea is completely shattered, the demon creature won't die."

Mike nodded, taking mental notes.

"A Lord tier demon creature can fuse all its gems into one, becoming an [Abyssal Pearl]. The Abyssal Pearl is embedded somewhere on their body, weapon, or equipment. That's their true weak spot!"

Amari's face grew serious. "So, you have to completely destroy their body, deplete their health bar, and then find the [Abyssal Pearl]. Only by shattering or sealing the [Abyssal Pearl] can you truly kill a demon race Lord. And that's just a one-tier Lord!"

According to Amari, a nine-tier demon race Lord has up to nine [Abyssal Pearls]!

"Wait, I have a question."

Mike asked, "If we destroy the demon race Lord's body, wouldn't the Abyssal Pearls be obvious and easy to find?"

"Maybe I didn't explain it well. Look, this is the [Truth Pearl] corresponding to the [Abyssal Pearl]."

Shadow Ten raised his right arm, which glowed with a golden light. "Can you see where my Truth Pearl is hidden?"

"Yeah, but it's not polite to say."

Amari's shadow wiggled his left pinky finger.

Under the [Eye of Truth], Mike clearly saw a pearl's shadow hidden in Amari's right pinky finger.

Amari was stunned. He spread his hands and smiled, "I suddenly feel like we might really have a chance to kill a nine-tier Lord."

Then, Amari clenched his right fist, and Mike saw the golden pearl rapidly moving, constantly changing positions within the arm!

The glow on Amari's right hand dimmed, and he continued, "Besides being able to move, the Abyssal Pearl has many other effects. Even if you find it, it's hard to completely destroy it."

A one-tier Lord is equivalent to having a top-tier Abyssal Sea, significantly boosting their strength.

A nine-tier Lord is like having nine top-tier Abyssal Seas simultaneously!

The difficulty isn't just nine times harder!

"The more you talk, the more my head hurts."

After hearing Shadow Ten's explanation, Mike felt their chances of success were less than 99.99%.

Their conversation was encrypted by Amari.

A nine-tier demon race Lord was nearby, secretly watching them, unaware that death was already behind him.

The shift from prey to predator often happens in an instant.

"Here's the situation."

Mike glanced at the ambushing nine-tier demon race Lord, who was still hesitating to make a move.

"A nine-tier Lord, with nine Abyssal Pearls already located. They can reduce 95% of Shadow element damage, 90% of Lightning damage, and 80% of Fire element damage..."

Damage reduction or even immunity—this makes it increasingly difficult to gain benefits the stronger they are!

For example, a General tier demon creature can have a buff like [Immunity to Higher-Level Damage Sources].

A Chief tier demon creature can have 100% Lightning immunity.

But for a Lord tier demon creature, due to their immense strength, achieving damage immunity is even harder!

It's like how a baby's flexibility is better than an adult's.

Mike shared this intel with Amari while thinking to himself.

Lightning and Fire damage reduction is understandable, but why 95% Shadow damage reduction?

What kind of psychological trauma did the Guardian Shadow inflict on the Abyssal demon creatures?

No wonder Amari said he wasn't confident in killing the opponent.

Fighting with 95% damage reduction is frustrating for anyone!

Listening to Thor, Amari was first shocked, then increasingly alarmed, and finally felt a bit of a headache!

How does Thor know so much?

Who's the real nine-tier Lord here?

Information and intel are the most crucial preparations before a battle, bar none!

Initially, Amari was anxious and uncertain about the outcome.

With Thor's intel, even if they couldn't kill the opponent, Amari was confident he could protect Thor during the fight! His confidence soared!

"That's the gist of it. Now, let me explain what I can do."

Mike knew that engaging in a battle with a nine-tier Lord meant immense danger for him.

One wrong move could mean death!

If not for the Eye of Truth showing a [99.99%] success rate, Mike wouldn't even consider it!

Even so, he had to be extremely cautious with that 0.01% chance!

Mike revealed about half of his trump cards, and Amari grew increasingly silent.

Is this really a level 200?

No wonder he's a potential Supreme Being—he's incredibly powerful!

After Mike finished, Amari nodded slowly, "Once the battle starts, I'll enter your shadow and give you a shadow armor to block all damage sources."

Mike was stunned, "Amari, why didn't you say you had this skill earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have hidden in the shadows; I'd have walked out boldly!"

No wonder Shadow Nine had Amari stay with Mike.

Amari was as reliable as a rock!

Unaware of Mike's thoughts, Amari shared some additional tips.

The overall strategy was:

Amari would handle the frontal assault and shatter the Abyssal Pearls.

Thor would assist, attacking when possible and using the Eye of Truth to report the locations of the Abyssal Pearls.

The Abyssal Pearls' positions were the hardest to track, making a nine-tier Lord difficult to kill!

"That's about it. How do we lure the demon creature out?"

Everything was set.

Time to act!

Mike smiled. "First, we start a bonfire."
