Let's settle the score

"Divine Light!"

Before taking action, Sumu fed his clone a potion, restoring it to full health.

After waiting for the cooldown time of the skill, he controlled the clone and walked in.

"Ignorant human, how dare you intrude into my territory! I will turn you into a pile of bones, forever enslaved by me!"

Unlike the skeleton warriors, the skeleton mage spoke in human language.

After finishing its words, it raised the bone staff in its hand.

As a black energy sphere appeared, a dark arrow-shaped energy flew towards the clone.

-260!

A damage number quickly appeared above the clone's head.

"Nice!"

Seeing this damage, Sumu smiled.

His magic defense of over 200 was indeed remarkable.

"Magic Shield!"

Sumu activated the magic shield and charged forward.

"Fireball!"

Without hesitation, Sumu unleashed a fireball towards the pile of bones, where the boss was.

-2368!

Compared to the boss's damage, Sumu's damage was much more significant.

"You wretched ant!"

Losing a substantial amount of health, the skeleton mage instantly shifted its focus from the clone to Sumu.

"Come on, let's exchange skills!"

Sumu chuckled and ignored the boss's harsh words.

Following this rhythm of skill exchange, the boss would surely fall before him!

"Shadow Arrow!"

"Fireball!"

While both sides were exchanging skills, Sumu's clone was not idle either.

The clone raised its staff and repeatedly struck the skeleton mage's head.

Although the damage numbers were not high, it was still contributing to the overall output!

...

While Sumu and the boss were engrossed in their battle, a great commotion erupted in the world channel.

"Extraordinary equipment appears in the auction house, suspected to be dropped by the boss!"

"No way! Are you serious? Did someone really put up boss-dropped equipment for sale?"

"I saw it. The attributes of that equipment must be from a boss drop. Its attack power alone is several levels higher than mine."

"Damn, this equipment is outrageous! Whoever gets it will be so overpowered. Who's so ruthless to sell it?"

"The only one who's currently capable of killing the boss is that Su Mu. Who else could it be?"

"Doesn't Su Mu have a team? Why would he sell such equipment?"

"There must be a reason for selling. Maybe the cost of defeating the boss was too high, and he needs to sell the equipment to recover."

Due to the listing of those two exceptional pieces of equipment, the world channel was buzzing with discussions.

Various speculations were flying around.

Countless people were curious about who would sell equipment dropped by a boss.

...

"Principal, the starting bid is 500 gold coins. It's only been a short while, and it's already at 600. What should we do?"

In a newbie village, someone anxiously looked at the principal who was busy fighting monsters.

"How much gold coins do we have now?" The principal didn't stop attacking and kept his gaze on the wolf in front of him.

"We've been collecting gold coins these days, but there are too many wealthy corporations doing the same. We only have 700 gold coins, and it's unlikely we can win the auction." The subordinate sighed.

The principal had chosen the warrior class. If they could acquire these two pieces of equipment, their strength would undoubtedly experience a qualitative improvement, and they would have no trouble fighting higher-level monsters.

However, the gold coins were not enough, or perhaps their funds were insufficient.

Upon hearing this, the principal looked up at the sky.

"Sell the cars in my garage!"

...

"Mr. Ma, we've already bid 800 gold coins, but there are still people raising the price. What do you think?"

On the other side, surrounded by a group of people, Ma Jingfei held a long sword and was engaged in a one-on-one battle with a monster.

Whenever the monster attacked him, a priest would immediately heal him, ensuring his health stayed within a safe range.

"Do I even need to say it? I must get these two pieces of equipment. Just raise my bid to 1,000!" Ma Jingfei exuded an air of extravagance.

Compared to the struggling Wang Corporation and another competitor who was on par with him, Ma Jingfei's situation was undoubtedly the best.

In terms of wealth, he was among the top in the entire country.

"One thousand gold coins. No one else is bidding now. If there are no further bids in the next ten minutes, these two pieces of equipment will be yours, Mr. Ma!"

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Jingfei nodded lightly and suddenly asked, "Did we receive any response to the posts I asked you to make on social media?"

"There have been several people claiming to be Su Mu who came to the company headquarters, but after verification, they were all imposters!" the subordinate immediately replied.

"Continue sending a private message to that Su Mu. As long as he's willing to join our corporation, I can treat him as an equal." Ma Jingfei's tone was serious, and he didn't sound like he was joking at all.

He was well aware that there was only one way to maintain his position in the country.

To go further in the Divine Path!

...

Inside the Skeleton Cave.

Su Mu was still engaged in a skill showdown with the Skeleton Mage.

The Skeleton Mage's health had dropped by ten thousand points.

"It's too easy. It won't take even a minute to kill this guy!" Su Mu had a smile on his face.

This was much easier than flying a kite.

But at that moment, the Skeleton Mage suddenly stopped.

It raised its staff, and its skeletal body began to twist.

"A skill?" Su Mu raised an eyebrow at the sight.

As expected, the Skeleton Mage was about to use a skill, just as he had anticipated.

"Come out, my minions!"

With a loud shout, the massive pile of bones started wriggling.

The next second, five Skeleton Warriors appeared on the battlefield.

"So many?" Su Mu's eyes widened in disbelief as five elite-level Skeleton Warriors appeared.

He knew about the Skeleton Mage's skill, but summoning five elite monsters in one go was just unfair.

"My servants, eliminate this damn intruder for me!"

The Skeleton Mage didn't care about Su Mu's thoughts and gave the order directly.

The five Skeleton Warriors immediately charged towards Su Mu.

"I can't take them head-on!" Su Mu's face turned pale, and he turned around and ran.

The boss still had two-thirds of its health, and with these Skeleton Warriors causing interference, there was no way he could defeat it.

"The boss doesn't deal much damage to me. I'll lure these Skeleton Warriors away first and then come back to deal with the boss!" Su Mu had a plan in mind.

The remaining health of the boss was equivalent to just ten fireballs.

He teleported directly into the cave and created a distance of tens of meters.

"Catch up to him!" The Skeleton Mage immediately shouted, but it remained standing on the pile of bones without moving.

"Perfect!"

Su Mu's eyes lit up when he saw the situation, and without looking back, he sprinted through the cave.

The Skeleton Warriors chased after him one by one.

"I'll deal with you first, you damn ants!"

After Su Mu left, the Skeleton Mage's attention also shifted to his doppelgänger.

Su Mu didn't have time to worry about them. He controlled his doppelgänger to run back and forth inside the cave, buying time.

"It's almost time. Just wait for the cooldown of the shield, and then I can go back and fight the boss!"

After running for a while in the cave, Su Mu looked at his magic shield.

The time was up, and it was currently in cooldown.

"During this time, I can't let the Skeleton Warriors behind me attack!"

He looked back at the five Skeleton Warriors.

"Ice Frost!"

"Blink!"

With a smooth sequence of skills, Su Mu controlled the Skeleton Warriors, preventing them from attacking, and then turned his head and ran towards the depths of the cave.

When the figure of the Skeleton Mage appeared in his line of sight, the magic shield had just finished cooling down.

Su Mu stared at the Skeleton Mage with a fierce gaze.

"Let's settle the score!"
