112: SSS level kill!

The swarm seemed to sense danger and actively moved away.

It also transmitted this signal back to Chen Ming, who was the main brain.

The next second, with a loud bang, the Tree Demon ignited out of thin air!

"Seeing that it couldn't defeat the swarm, it chose to end its own life to make the death quicker?"

This thought was quickly dismissed by Chen Ming himself.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Tree Demon, but monsters couldn't have such intricate thoughts.

At least not at this stage.

Once monsters gain intelligence and are no longer driven by the obsession to kill, humanity's living space will only shrink.

In contrast, Chen Ming was more inclined to believe that the Tree Demon had reached a certain health percentage and entered a berserk state.

Triggering the SSS-grade Skill, displaying its health bar.

As expected, its health had unknowingly dropped below thirty percent.

At the thirty percent mark, there was a warning exclamation mark.

Chen Ming clicked to view it.

【When health drops to thirty percent, the monster will enter phase two and evolve into a Fire Tree Demon! Attack power increased! Defense increased! Self-healing ability increased! Possesses fire attribute!】

"I didn't expect the SSS-grade Skill to actually show hidden tips!"

"S-Rank..."

He opened his storage space, went from a stirring thought to, in a flash, deciding to turn this idea into reality!

He would use the one-click upgrade card to upgrade the S-level skill to SSS-level!

According to Chen Ming's idea, after the SSS-grade Skill was upgraded to SSS-level, the health requirement for the SSS-level line would definitely be greatly reduced.

The SSS-grade Skill didn't show its effect when facing these current weaklings.

Because as long as Chen Ming was willing, he could instantly kill all of them at the start, so why wait until ten percent health to trigger the SSS-level effect?

However, if someone were to lure out a monster hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times stronger than the Tree Demon in the future, the existence of the SSS-grade Skill would become particularly important.

It must be upgraded, no expense spared.

Chen Ming also didn't think this would be the last time he fished out an SSS-grade Skill upgrade card.

【Do you want to upgrade "S-Class Skill SSS-level" to "SSS-grade Skill SSS-level"?】

Upgrade!

【Upgrading...】

【Upgrade successful! Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-grade Skill: SSS-level!】

【SSS-grade Skill SSS-level: When the opponent's health drops to thirty percent, a one-hit SSS-level effect can be triggered!】

It was almost exactly as Chen Ming expected, S-Rank SSS-level line 10%, SS-grade SSS-level line 20%, SSS-level SSS-level line 30%!

And now, the Tree Demon's health had already dropped below thirty percent, meeting the SSS-level standard.

Chen Ming could kill it instantly with a casual flick of his finger, without needing any skill assistance.

That's right, instant kill in the true sense of the word!

Those people sitting in the office, completely unaware of this, as well as the spectators watching the battle from the tall buildings in the distance, couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Chen Ming.

The Tree Demon, which already had a considerable visual oppressive feeling, looked even more terrifying after entering phase two and becoming a Fire Tree Demon!

They worried that the powerful Hunter, who had finally emerged among the human race, would fall because of this.

Chen Ming used his actions to tell them they were thinking too much.

He took out a dagger, held the handle between his thumb and index finger, and spun it, sending it flying out.

The Fire Tree Demon sensed the danger and whipped its flaming vines, like a long whip, towards the blade.

Its speed was extremely fast, even producing an effect similar to a sonic boom.

Little did it know, this action actually accelerated its own death.

The moment the vine came into contact with the dagger, it was cut open by the sharp blade.

This small amount of damage was nothing before, not even catching up to the Fire Tree Demon's own regeneration speed.

But this time, the SSS-grade Skill triggered!

Snap!

The Fire Tree Demon's life line snapped and broke.

At the same time, Chen Ming, with quick eyes and hands, activated full selection and permanently stole skills!

【Stealing...】

【Steal successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining B-grade skill: Fire Whip!】

【Steal successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining B-grade skill: Savage Parasitism!】

【Steal successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining B-grade skill: Rage!】

...

Immediately, the flames on the Tree Demon rapidly receded and extinguished.

Its yellowed, withered leaves were blown away by a light breeze, leaving not many behind.

The signs of life decay were obvious, and it completely withered.

【Successfully killed the Tree Demon! Congratulations Host on obtaining Golden Chest +3!】

"This guy is actually worth three of you?" Chen Ming looked at the Calamity Dragon at his feet, somewhat disbelieving.

"Looks like I killed it too fast and didn't get to see it show its moves. This one's on me."

After offering insincere sympathy, Chen Ming immediately began the fixed procedure.

【Extracting...】

【Extraction successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining new mental servant: Fire Tree Demon +1!】

"Oh! It extracts according to phase two? This is good!"

He didn't expect the Undead Extraction skill to give him a surprise at the last moment.

【Extraction successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining new Undead Servant: Zombie +336!】

【Extraction successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining new Undead Servant: Zombie Dog +77!】

...

In addition, even those who had accidentally died at the hands of the Fire Tree Demon before, such as being crushed or run over by the spreading roots, or being crushed to death by a collapsing building...

Chen Ming didn't miss a single one, collecting them all into his Undead Legion to earn a little extra.

After doing all this and confirming everything was in order, Chen Ming finally gave the order, allowing the swarm to clean up the Fire Tree Demon's corpse.

Both the speed of consumption and the speed at which the swarm expanded were visible to the naked eye.

His state of mind remained calm, like still water.

Others, however, were surging with emotion, unable to calm down.

Who would have thought that the opponent they originally thought was evenly matched with Chen Ming would be instantly killed by him with one move after entering a berserk state!

【Storage space insufficient, please clear garbage in time to avoid affecting normal use!】

Someone only reacted that they were recording after their phone prompted them that the memory was full.

They quickly opened the album, confirmed that the video was saved properly, and finally felt relieved.

They used the phone's built-in editing software to cut out the unnecessary footage and then uploaded it to the forum.

They couldn't help but want to share these classic and praiseworthy battle scenes with people both domestically and internationally.

To let everyone understand that the spark of humanity wouldn't be extinguished so easily!

The video of Chen Ming riding the dragon, leading the swarm, and instantly killing the Fire Tree Demon, once uploaded, undoubtedly went viral again.

The popularity of the words Undead Monarch was not limited to Great Xia; even worldwide, it was absolutely top-tier.

More and more people from abroad, who couldn't wait and were eager to get first-hand information, started coming to Great Xia to register for forum accounts.

Although the translated text looked a bit awkward using a translator, it didn't hinder understanding the meaning.

In the comment section, the discussion easily exceeded ten thousand within just a few minutes.

【What phone are you using? You can film from so far away】

【The face that seems visible looks very young, it's a shame, it would be great if it were a bit clearer】

【Want to adopt a wolfdog brother like that】

【It's broad daylight, why are you already dreaming? If I had that ability, would I even look at you?】

...

Among these people was Zhao Ya's best friend, Lin Wei.

She zoomed in on the picture with two fingers; after the picture was enlarged, it turned into small mosaic squares.

However, Lin Wei always felt that this face... looked a bit familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"What are you looking at? Get ready to go out and look for supplies, we don't have much food left." Zhao Ya appeared behind Lin Wei.

Lin Wei, who was focused, was startled.

She lightly patted her chest, "Ah! Xiao Ya, you scared me to death!"

Zhao Ya was about to speak when she suddenly noticed the picture on Lin Wei's phone, narrowing her eyes to focus, "What are you looking at Chen Ming's photo for?"

"Chen Ming? Are you sure this person is Chen Ming?!"
