Chapter 66: Dimensional Slash Unleashed

Dimensional Slash!?

Hearing the name of a skill with spatial properties, Yenir paused in stunned surprise before quickly glancing at the skill details.

Dimensional Slash: SSS-Level

Skill Effect: Consumes 6000 points of spiritual energy to rip open a spatial rift around you. Step through and you gain one second of invincibility. During that time, your agility is boosted by 300%! After one second, you retear space to reappear and deliver a massive, defense-ignoring blow!

After a brief moment of silence, a spark of brilliance ignited in Yenir’s eyes.

Damn, that’s insane.

Unable to hold back his cursing, even as the owner of the system, he found the Sword God System outrageously overpowered.

Invincibility. Mobility. Massive Damage.

How can anyone possibly fight against that?

Compared to Shadow Assault’s mere 60% movement speed boost, Dimensional Slash’s 300% agility increase is utterly outrageous.

Half an hour later, feeling well-fed and satisfied.

Fiddling with a capsule in his hand, Yenir forcefully slammed it onto the ground, revealing a sleek new black motorcycle.

He had purchased this Spiritual Energy Vehicle for 2000 Credit Points. Although it wasn’t top-tier, it far outperformed his old ride.

It can reach a top speed of 490 km/h and has a range of 2000 kilometers. Best of all, fueled by spiritual energy, it can keep running indefinitely.

When not needed, you can simply tuck it away in your pocket—super convenient.

After confirming his route, Yenir headed straight for his next destination.

He remembered that near Zhenjiang there was a second-tier high-level mutant known to drop blue accessories—highly valuable loot.

However, perhaps he should first hit the Zhenjiang Security Zone to collect the corresponding mission.

For taking down mutants of this caliber, every security zone offers its own rewards.

…….

Tianfeng Security Zone.

Leading a squad of search soldiers, Captain Huang helplessly began interrogating the various shops within the security zone.

They had orders from above: to uncover traces of that mysterious third-tier, they had conducted a full-scale sweep for an entire day and night.

The results were obvious—not a single clue was found.

But that was only natural. If a third-tier intends to hide, leaving a trace would be impossible.

However, the upper echelons were almost driven insane by this elusive third-tier, barely getting any sleep out of fear of a sudden outbreak.

“Captain Huang, asking us to search for transaction records on this? Isn’t that ridiculous…”

“There are so many daily transactions—how can anything be pinpointed?”

“Not to mention the materials dropped by the Rotten Corpse Forest mutants—will that third-tier even act? Even if they do, someone of that caliber wouldn’t make a public move, right?”

“Exactly—what Rotten Corpse Forest yields might be valuable to us, but to a third-tier it’s nothing more than trash.”

“Even if they sold them, they’d probably just dump the items in the trading channel. Who’d bother making the trip just to save on fees?”

Listening to his subordinates’ complaints, Captain Huang sighed and said:

“Enough. Stop with the chatter.”

“Find any clues you can. We’re forced into this—the military orders have already been issued.”

“All we know is that the third-tier once killed a mutant in Rotten Corpse Forest, and aside from that, there are only two spots in Tianfeng left to check.”

“The problem is, the higher-ups don’t even know what exactly happened in Tianfeng—whether any mutant was even killed.”

“The only confirmed lead is Rotten Corpse Forest.”

After calming his team, Captain Huang glanced at the last unchecked merchant guild.

“Starbright Merchant Guild”

As soon as he entered, a receptionist approached him; however, spotting the Military Department emblem on his uniform, her expression suddenly tensed.

“Good day, Officer. What can we do for you?”

Nervously—knowing that this merchant guild, which specialized in mutant materials, was no stranger to shady profits.

After casually glancing around at the shop’s displays, Captain Huang got straight to business:

“Pull up all your transaction records from the past week!”

“Especially any concerning Rotten Corpse Forest materials—no record can be missing!”

The receptionist froze, glancing at Captain Huang with confusion. But once he produced the search warrant, she had no choice but to comply.

A few minutes later,

while sifting through the transaction logs without even looking up, Captain Huang asked carefully:

“Have you served any high-tier awakened individuals lately? Or anyone who seemed off?”

“High-tier? Off?”

The guild staff’s expression turned odd as they managed a bitter smile:

“Sir, you must be joking.”

“We’re just a small shop—there aren’t any high-tier awakened individuals who come trading here.”

“Usually it’s enough if we snag some first-tier materials; forget high-tier—you’re the highest-profile customer I’ve seen in ages.”

Listening to the staff’s reply, Captain Huang sighed inwardly, realizing his inquiry had been fruitless.

That third-tier really knows how to cover their tracks. Unless you’re the leader, who could possibly notice? Once they ditch their badge and conceal their equipment, tightening their aura, even if the Almighty dropped by, they’d go undetected.

“Rustle—rustle…”

As he continued flipping through the records, Captain Huang’s gaze landed on the ‘Specialties’ section for Rotten Corpse Forest.

After a few seconds, his eyes narrowed sharply.

“Two transaction records? So someone actually sold these materials.”

Looking closer,

one record belonged to a mid-level, second-tier outsider awakened individual trading with an ID Card from another security zone.

The other record was from…

Yenir!?

A strange expression flashed over his face as Captain Huang stared at Yenir’s transaction record, noticing that the two transactions occurred consecutively!

Yenir’s record came first, followed by the second-tier’s.

Abruptly, he looked up at the receptionist and demanded:

“When Yenir and Yang Yu came to trade, was anyone else with them?!”

Even though both transaction records were from the same day, Captain Huang wasn’t surprised—after all, Rotten Corpse Forest mutants refresh daily, and many people accumulate materials to sell in bulk.

But the question remains: how could Yenir possibly have any materials?!

That kid had just become awakened!

Could it be that someone accompanied Yenir for the trade, leaving the Credit Points with him?!

Startled by Captain Huang’s exclamation, the receptionist hurriedly tried to recall.

After a few seconds, she replied in rapid succession:

“No, nothing at all!”

“Both the second-tier client and the one named Yenir came on their own! Besides, it seems this was Yenir’s first transaction—I even gave him a VIP card! Officer, could there be something off about what he’s carrying…?”

Her voice trembled with fear.

Regret flashed in the receptionist’s eyes. When she accepted Yenir’s materials, it struck her as odd—a mere, even seemingly zero-tier awakened shouldn’t have access to such loot. Judging by the combat uniform he wore, she assumed he was working with the military.

Seeing the officer’s grave expression, she thought, ‘It must have been stolen!’

Ignoring her queries, Captain Huang took a deep breath, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

The only clue left by that mysterious third-tier was Rotten Corpse Forest!

Moreover, both Yenir and another second-tier had sold materials on that very day!

That made both of them highly suspicious!

Especially Yenir!

Could it be… unimaginable?

“Let’s go! Take these records back and report to the higher-ups immediately!”

With the transaction records clutched tightly in his arms, Captain Huang dashed straight to the Military Department.
