Chapter 422: Chapter 422

Although only a few second-tier Horned Demons remained, they soon fell to the immense assault of the beetles. Confronted by a barrage of beetles on all fronts, the remaining Horned Demons were quickly devoured, leaving only a massive swarm of beetles in the air.

Du You took a deep breath. His own skill was truly terrifying.

It seemed that he couldn’t use this skill casually in future, as it could easily cause fear in others. It was not uncommon for him to become an enemy because his skills were too dangerous. On the contrary, there were quite a few such cases.

Therefore, it was best to use it when he was sure of his victory or when others couldn’t see it. After all, his own strength was still not up to par. If he was invincible, there would be no need to hide.

Of course, Du You would not admit that it was because this skill was too disgusting and had a poor sensory perception.

"It feels...so clean," Du You lifted his head. The cavern, which originally had a disgusting smell, was now devoid of it, making the air much clearer. It seemed that the Carrion Dark Scarabs had devoured all the rubbish on the ground as well as the impurities in the air.

So, this skill could actually be a good one for environmental cleaning. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"It did become much cleaner, but it was too scary," the two sisters spoke in unison.

Du You gave them a strange look. The impact of telepathy was greatly affecting them. They said exactly the same words simultaneously, something not even twins could normally achieve.

But he let it go, there was no real impact after all. At this moment, the beetles started to disperse.

Without food to sustain them, the beetles could only last for five minutes. With an ample food supply, each division equals to a new life, restoring their lifespan back to five minutes.

Now that the food was gone, five minutes later, the beetles began to disperse in droves.

Du You instantly felt an immense dark power permeating the entire cavern. The power of the dark element was extraordinarily strong. Under this environment, the power of dark magic would undoubtedly be greater.

Unexpectedly, it could also be used like an environment spell.

But that was unnecessary now. Du You watched as the dark power dissipated.

The ground was left spotless, save for the Magic Cores of the Horned Demons. Surprisingly, the Carrion Dark Scarabs didn’t eat these, he was unsure if it was because they were too hard to chew or for some other reason.

Du You stepped forward to collect the Crystal Cores. After exploring the mine, Du You found that all the commotion had attracted all the Horned Demons. As a result, all the Horned Demons in the area had been killed, and the whole mine had been cleared out. It happened much quicker than what Du You had originally imagined.

At the same time, he noticed that he had consumed nearly 10% of his magic power, mainly maintaining the Shield Spell.

Upon reflection, Du You identified a problem. "When I was defending against the Horned Demons, I didn’t need to block the entire entrance. If I only blocked part of it, they wouldn’t be able to pass. This would reduce the consumption of magic power by at least two-thirds. If I only blocked when the Horned Demons charged forward and then released it, the consumption would be even less."

Du You felt, his use of the Shield Spell still had room for improvement and he needed to practice more.

But now was not the time to practice. Du You, with the two others, walked out while opening the globes one by one. Many red Crystal Coins and various red or white materials appeared.

However, none of them caught Du You’s interest.

At last, when Du You opened the final second-tier globe, he nodded with satisfaction.

"With this, our trip was not in vain." Unfortunately, he couldn’t get a treasure chest in the process of his job change. He could only hope for some valuable gains from these globes.

Flaming Horn (Destruction Flames, Second-tier): Condenses a ball of dark fire from the void to fall from the sky and obliterate everything. After the explosion, numerous Destruction Evil Dogs emerge to attack the surrounding enemies. (Level 11, 7 stars)

This was a skill scroll. It was a seven-star scroll with a native second-tier rank, which was perfect for him. As dark attribute skills fit well with his Soul Devouring Demon Flame, various dark flame skills were most suitable for him.

Du You could tell from its description that it was an extremely powerful direct attack skill. Finally, he could learn a normal magic spell. He believed in the power of this spell.

However, he found it strange that a group of Horned Demons could explode into magic skills.

Regardless, it was not a good place to construct skills. Although he was not short of Crystal Coins, these large-area skills that came down from the sky were also not very useful for the next step of clearing the mines.

Without much effort, Du You easily dealt with the Horned Demons here, then led the two of them out again.

Without any rest, the group headed towards the next mine. This mine was the largest in this area, with complex and confusing routes.

However, inspired by the previous experience, Du You realized he didn’t need to venture deep into the mine. He could attract the demons inside to come out, removing the need for risky exploration.

Reaching the entrance, Du You released his Summoned Beasts to guard them.

"You two stay here. Don’t follow me in case of any danger. I will bring out the demons," he said.

The two of them knew what spell Du You was about to cast. They nodded strongly and gritted their teeth to show their courage.

Du You didn’t scoff at them. He silently entered the mine. This time, there were not only small demons in the mine but also various types of demons.

Not long after he ventured in, Du You took out a piece of fresh meat and threw it on the ground. He then used the Disintegration Spell to divide it. The fragmented flesh and blood spread a strong smell of blood, which penetrated the cave.

Soon the roars of the demons could be heard. Du You knew the demons he sought were coming.

A moment later, a group of small demons along with other types of demons rushed out. "You are just in time. I have been waiting for you," Du You sneered. He released the Putrid Insect Mist, targeting the rotting meat on the ground.

After devouring the rotten meat, the Putrid Insect Mist quickly divided some of its quantity, then flew towards the incoming demons.
