The steel armor he was so proud of quickly turned crimson under the high temperature of Magic Power, then in the midst of a strong shockwave, it softened and melted, turning into incandescent molten iron that was squeezed and twisted by an irresistible force, followed by the terrifying light and heat.
It shattered into pieces!!
"Boom!!!"
Time seemed to press the play button again.
Rolling flames and thick smoke surged up, forming a small mushroom cloud on the spot.
Aaliyah and Ying, who had just steadied themselves, felt a clear tremor under their feet and supported each other a little.
They turned their gaze to look into the distance.
Did it die?
It was impossible to see what was happening inside the thick smoke.
After a long time, the dust was blown away by the wind somewhat, and the scene at the center of the explosion finally became clear.
A charred crater had replaced the original grassland.
Inside the pit, there was scattered dark red, still slowly flowing metal liquid.
That was the last remnant of the once indestructible shell of the Petrified Bull.
In the sky, Gauss slowly descended in altitude, landing beside the two.
His face was slightly pale.
But a faint smile hung on his face.
"It’s settled."
The panel had already jumped out with the kill information.
This indicated the target had died, and he also shared the information with his teammates.
At the same time, he also secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Killed Commander Level Demon Petrified Bull *1"
"Commander Path Progress: Killed 5 types of Commander Level Demons (2/5)"
"Upon completing the stage, reward: Randomly select one Racial Talent of Commander Level Demon."
Sure enough, his previous feeling was not wrong.
He knew that the strength of this Petrified Bull was not as simple as level 5.
Now, it seems this is indeed the case, at least at level 6.
Therefore, Gauss was able to gain another progress on the Commander Path.
It seemed a bit rudimentary.
After all, the truly powerful Commander Demons at present, he certainly couldn’t be a match for yet.
Moreover, many Commander Demons have huge monster minion followers, which also complicate the task of killing them.
But on the other hand.
This Petrified Bull being able to survive here unharmed could also be because it didn’t have any minions.
The commotion created by monster minion tribes is far greater than its own influence.
"Great." Aaliyah clapped her hands.
The battle just now looked short, but in fact, it was very tense.
"By the way, just so you know, that Petrified Bull just now should be level 6."
"Level 6??"
Aaliyah blinked her eyes.
A level 6 Demon isn’t as simple as level 5.... it died so easily?
Although they had also killed a suspected level 6 goblin in previous missions, that time they had used a trick.
This time it was an outright direct kill.
Gauss nodded.
This was also what he was secretly delighted about.
Even though earlier he was already aware that he had the power to kill a level 6 Demon, completing this kill was still a milestone event.
After all, this was the first Commander Level Demon he killed with conventional means.
Once there’s a first time, there can be a second time.
"Isn’t your Fireball Technique a bit abnormal?" Aaliyah couldn’t help but marvel in surprise.
"No... wait! Then those materials, aren’t they?"
She seemed to think of something, suddenly turning her head to look at the pit.
There was a gradually solidifying pool of molten iron in the pit.
However, compared to the Petrified Bull’s previous size, the volume had obviously shrunk a lot.
It must be that quite a portion was vaporized in the explosion just now.
"A lot of materials are missing, these were Commander Demon’s materials..." Aaliyah gasped.
Though she also realized that without the Fireball Technique, killing that Petrified Bull might have been very troublesome, but thinking of all those vanished rare materials that could fetch a hefty price, she still felt a pang of heartache.
Money, burnt away!
Heart... it hurts so much.
"That’s something unavoidable." Gauss shrugged.
At least there are still some spoils remaining in the pit, so it’s not a complete loss.
"Promise me, Gauss."
"What is it?"
"For the monsters we can handle in the future, let’s try not to use the Fireball Technique."
"Alright."
