I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 29 --Corrupted Angel

The Mountain God seemed to sense his presence.

The blurred face drooped slightly, its massive "eyes" fixed on him.

Then, it slowly raised a foot.

A foot composed of the entire mountain itself—the toes alone were the size of buildings.

Boom!!!

The entire ground shook violently!

The spot where Daniel had just stood was crushed into a ten-meter-wide crater, debris flying, dust rising in clouds.

Daniel landed on a massive rock fifty meters away.

He immediately raised his hand and fired.

Explosive Arrow!

The arrow struck the Mountain God’s leg, only creating a small dent. Its HP barely changed.

[-1,000]

Daniel twitched.

A thousand damage—against the Mountain God’s absurdly massive HP, probably less than 0.01%.

But the Mountain God was enraged by even that single arrow.

"Damn insect!"

"Die for me!"

It let out a deep roar, a sound resonating from deep within the mountain itself, shaking hearts with fear.

Then it raised its massive hands and slammed them into the ground!

Boom!!!

A shockwave radiated outward from its impact. The ground cracked, boulders flew.

Daniel was thrown into the air, somersaulting before stabilizing. He lost 800 HP.

Regaining his stance, his eyes cooled.

He inhaled deeply and drew his silver bow to full draw.

Aetherlance!

Golden light spread along the bow, up his arms, and over his body. In the blink of an eye, Daniel was like a blazing golden torch.

As the bowstring reached its limit, a massive golden spear formed on the bow, its tip emitting a blinding glow.

Bang!

The golden spear tore through the sky, leaving a trail of golden light, and pierced straight into the Mountain God’s chest!

Boom—!

The Mountain God staggered.

Focusing, Daniel saw a door-sized hole blown open in its chest, stones raining down, golden light spilling from the cavity.

[-220,580!]

The red critical hit indicator flashed—Mountain God’s HP visibly dropped.

Daniel’s eyes brightened.

This skill packs some serious punch!

Daniel used God Speed to dodge the Mountain God’s furious attacks while waiting for Aetherlance to cool down.

Meanwhile, countless explosive arrow volleys pounded the Mountain God, dislodging rocks in showers.

A minute later, he fired another Aetherlance.

Another minute later, a third.

After three shots, the Mountain God’s HP dropped by one-third.

But it had entered a full berserk state.

The Mountain God roared to the sky, the entire mountain trembling violently.

Boulders cascaded from the peak, crashing down, forming craters in the terrain.

It raised its hands again and slammed down—

This time, it wasn’t a mere shockwave. It was an actual landslide.

Countless fissures cracked the earth, plunging into bottomless depths. One misstep and you would fall in.

Daniel activated God Speed, weaving through falling rocks, jumping along fissure edges.

Several times, he narrowly avoided being crushed.

At an opening, he fired another Aetherlance directly at the core!

Boom!

The Mountain God’s chest exploded, forming another massive cavity, golden light pouring out.

[-568,490!]

After this hit, its HP fell to roughly one-third!

Daniel’s eyes narrowed—was this a weak-point critical hit?

He had heard that Mountain Gods were incredibly difficult to kill.

But if you could locate their weak point, they became far easier to defeat.

Of course, the weak point was also the most heavily fortified area!

But Daniel’s Aetherlance ignored defenses and shields.

Cracks spread across the Mountain God’s body, black light intensifying.

Without hesitation, Daniel seized the Mountain God’s moment of rage and fired Aetherlance again into its chest cavity!

Boom!

HP dropped to zero.

The Mountain God’s enormous body began to collapse, dust billowing everywhere.

The entire mountain disintegrated with deafening crashes.

[Ding! You have slain Fallen Mountain God (Blackgold-grade BOSS)]

[Rewards: Mountain God Essence ×1, Earth Armguards (Blackgold-grade), Boulder Shield (Blackgold-grade), 500 gold coins, Contribution Points +100, 2,569,000 XP...]

Daniel stared at the door-sized hole in the Mountain God’s chest—the mark left by Aetherlance.

Inside lay the quest item: Heart of Mountain.

But as he gazed at the Mountain God’s immense body, a sense of awe struck him.

Despite its size, this was merely a young Mountain God.

He had witnessed, centuries later on the endgame battlefield, Mountain Gods over ten thousand meters tall.

One punch could tear the ground apart, and even the most powerful skills hitting them were like scratching an itch.

This Mountain God had slept for countless years, awakening only due to the Elven Queen’s summons to confront the Dark God.

The Mountain God race also went by another name—the Children of the Earth.

They were the closest offspring of the land itself, all Strength tied to the world, lacking souls.

Their only weakness: Heart of Mountain.

This also meant they were immune to mental control and corruption by the Dark God’s whispers.

Yet this one had fallen into a completely irrational rage.

With that in mind, Daniel charged directly into the chest cavity.

Inside, it was pitch black.

The next moment, Black Dragon King’s Protection activated behind him, red light illuminating the surroundings.

He entered a massive chest cavity.

Thick ribs surrounded him, each wide enough to be hugged by several people—like a natural prison.

The ribs were covered with cracks, constantly shedding fragments.

In front of him, a massive gemstone floated in midair.

[Heart of Mountain (Epic-grade Material)]

It was roughly the size of an adult man, crystal-clear, with faint golden light swirling within.

The light pulsed rhythmically, like a heartbeat.

But what caught Daniel’s attention wasn’t the gemstone—it was what was sealed inside.

Inside floated a person—a winged being!

Silver hair, near-perfect facial features, six white wings folded tightly behind him.

His eyes were closed, expression calm, as if sleeping.

Yet along the wing edges, black veins were spreading.

The veins crawled like blood vessels, slowly corrupting the white feathers.

Daniel’s pupils constricted.

[Ding! Hidden BOSS detected, awakening...]

Crack!

The Heart of Mountain suddenly fractured.

Fissures spread from the center, golden light dimming, replaced by a sinister black mist.

The black mist surged from the cracks, carrying a stench of decay and despair.

Crack—

The Heart of Mountain shattered completely.

Shards exploded outward; Daniel dodged several flying fragments.

When he looked again, the figure inside hovered midair, eyes now open!

No whites in the eyes—only dark red pupils, like smoldering embers.

He slowly spread the six wings behind him.

Every feather was veined with black, as if soaked in ink.

The veins wriggled, and black liquid dripped from the edges, corroding the ground.
