THE GOD EATER-Chapter 244: Poor Lancer.

So if Loki turns out to be a good investment and she makes the battlefield highly profitable, she won’t have to pay for the life of the rank 4 forger, and she will also earn grade 5 merit points doing so. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

In fact, she will earn so much merit points that the life of one rank 4 cultivator will look insignificant. This made her willing to send any forger to him as long as that person isn’t Greg. So she immediately sent a rank 4 forger to Loki.

After doing so, she began making preparations for a shock campaign and preparations to discharge Greg. As she did so, waves of excitement began to bubble within her.

She grinned and said to herself, "Finally. All of these wait is about to bear fruit."

"After nine years, the natural wonder has already been prepared. All I need to do is exchange Greg for it."

"Once Loki makes a move, he will surely turn the battlefield upside down, and I will be able to earn a lot of merit points from it. Then I will get the secret refinement recipe and use it to advance to rank 5."

She doesn’t know how Loki will do it, but she has a lot of faith in him because she knows that it is not possible for rank 4 beings to defeat a rank 5 being, even if that rank 4 being possesses a Level 5 Dao Status.

From what she knows, she understands that the power of rank to beings comes from their expanded existence, and the more they eat, the larger their existence becomes until it reaches its limit.

Now that Loki is asking for a rank 4 forger, she believes that he is doing something similar to empower himself. So her faith in Loki has only been increased by his request, not reduced.

While making her preparations for the shock campaign, which is to message her captains to tell them to start troop mobilization, she also sent information about the rank 4 forger to Loki. That way, he will know what he is up against.

This message reached Loki while he was waiting in his room for the rank 4 forger to come. He skimmed over the description of the woman and focused on the line about her Life Ability.

This part of the message said, "Her Life Ability is Crown of Metal. It enhances the Telekinesis Core Metac and transforms it into Magnetism."

This made him say, "This is going to be tricky. I hope the defenses of my armor will be able to keep up, or I’m screwed."

Then he laughed and said, "How funny it would be if the prey I am hunting turned on me and killed me? What kind of hunter would I be?"

He was laughing about it, but it was a serious matter that he took more than seriously. So after laughing, he continued to read more about her.

However, ten minutes later, he sensed someone approaching his door. He couldn’t see them, but he sensed their mind approaching his room.

This hasn’t happened before because no one was allowed to disturb him, so he knew that this person must be the one that Amelia sent to him. So he grinned and prepared to take action.

The rank 4 forger, a lady called Lancer, felt confused about being asked by the commander to come here. Her confusion showed on her face as she approached the door.

She didn’t think there was any danger, though. She only thought that there was nothing to do here, and Amelia hadn’t done anything to dispel this opinion either, because Amelia didn’t tell her what she was coming to do.

When she got within one meter of the door, she said to herself, "What do I do next? Do I knock? Should I announce my presence?"

She was debating what to do when something invisible smashed into her head. Whatever the attack was, it passed through the physical matter of her head and struck her mind within her skull.

She didn’t see what had attacked her, but she knew what kind of attack it was and who was capable of using such an attack.

So, as the attack made her vision shake and forced her to stumble backwards, she said to herself, "It is a Mind Hunter. But where and why?"

A Mind Hunter is a member of her sect and should be her ally. She is also deep within the city, where there shouldn’t be any danger. So not only was the attack unexpected, but it also should be impossible.

Just as she was wondering why she had been attacked by someone who should be her ally in a place where she should be safe, she sensed fast-moving metallic objects coming for her from behind the door.

According to her sharp perception of metallic objects, the fast-moving object coming for her should be bullets. This all but confirmed that her attacker is someone behind the door.

This made her ask herself in shock, "What is going on? Is the person I was sent to meet the one attacking me? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

At any other time, she would be able to stop the bullets with the power of her Crown of Metal Life Ability. She would even be able to turn the bullets back to their source and counterattack with them. Unfortunately for her, her mind is too sluggish and injured to do any of that.

She could only watch helplessly as the two bullets smashed into her head and smashed it open. Her vision disappeared immediately, and she lost consciousness.

When Loki saw her mind snuff out like the flame of a candle in the wind, he clapped and smiled as he said to himself, "Quick and easy. It is like ordering takeout."

Then he received a notification from the sect about the debt he has to pay for the value of her life. When he saw this amount, his smile faltered, and he said, "It is expensive takeout, though. Very expensive."
