Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 356: Does This Count as Killing a Demon God?

“You think someone like you can kill me?”

A fierce look of unwillingness suddenly burst out of Ethan’s eyes. Gritting his teeth, he shouted angrily.

With death right in front of him, Ethan’s mind raced. In only a short moment, he came up with a plan.

“As long as I can capture Aiden and use him as a hostage, I might still have a chance to survive!”

That was Ethan’s only hope.

The helper Aiden had brought was simply too terrifying. The lower Demon God sent by Lord Theodore to protect him had chosen to run away without any hesitation the moment they met.

And even now, it was unclear whether he could actually escape.

“I’m going all in!” Ethan roared.

But as Ethan desperately struggled, Aiden only calmly called out in Damian’s direction,

“I’m going to summon Faye to join the fight.”

The moment those words fell, Ethan, who had just started rushing toward Aiden, suddenly felt his body become incredibly heavy, as if an entire mountain had been placed on his back.

Boom!

Ethan’s body dropped straight from the sky and slammed heavily into the ground.

But that was not the end of it. The crushing gravity directly compressed the ground beneath him, and a huge crater quickly appeared.

Ethan lay in the middle of that crater, completely unable to move.

“Damn it! Just how strong is Aiden’s helper? He’s only a human, so how could he possibly get such a terrifying powerhouse to help hunt down a level 90 Demon Duke like me?”

Ethan could not accept it at all.

Any being powerful enough to make a lower Demon God run away on sight had to be, at the very least, an the Abyss powerhouse with the strength of a mid-level Demon God.

At the same time, Aiden slowly walked down into the crater and looked down at Ethan, who could not move at all.

“Aiden, if you’ve got the guts, fight me one-on-one!” Ethan shouted unwillingly, still trying one last time.

But all he got was Aiden’s calm reply:

“Do you think I’m an idiot like you?”

Aiden curled his lip.

If he could get Damian, who had the strength of an upper Demon God, to help him, why would he take any risk?

Wasn’t it better to kill level 90 Ethan easily and safely?

“Faye.” Aiden called softly.

Faye appeared instantly and shouted excitedly, “Master, I’m here!”

At that moment, the area suddenly became quiet.

A mass of soil quickly flew over from the distance and hovered in front of Damian.

Aiden turned and looked toward Damian.

The soil slowly spread apart, and the lower Demon God from the Demon Clan who had just escaped appeared inside it.

“What a pity. That guy still got away.” Damian said with a sigh.

Aiden was slightly stunned. Wasn’t the lower Demon God from the Demon Clan right there?

Damian waved his hand lightly, and the lower Demon God’s body slowly floated toward Aiden.

“This is only his body. His Inner Spirit already escaped.”

“That guy was really decisive. He didn’t hesitate at all and abandoned his body right away.”

Damian gave a brief explanation.

Even without its Inner Spirit, a lower Demon God’s body could still keep its basic life functions.

Aiden immediately recalled what he knew.

Whether it was a human divine powerhouse or an Abyss Demon God, both had terrifying recovery abilities. Even if their bodies were destroyed, as long as their Inner Spirit still existed, they would not truly die.

Aiden could not help sighing. It really was a pity.

He had originally planned for Damian to seriously injure that lower Demon God from the Demon Clan, and then let him deliver the final blow himself.

That was also why he had asked Malcolm to allow Ethan to contact the Demon Clan.

“Wait, I have a question.” Aiden suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

He looked seriously at the lower Demon God’s body and slowly said,

“If there’s a way to let another soul enter this body, and then I kill it, would that count as killing a lower Demon God?”

When Damian heard that, his eyes widened.

“I… I honestly don’t know. How did you even come up with such a strange idea?” Damian could not help asking.

He took a deep breath and gave a brief explanation.

There was a difference between an Inner Spirit and a soul.

For humans, only after a Reclasser successfully passed the divine ascension tribulation would their soul transform into an Inner Spirit.

For Abyss creatures, as their level increased, their soul would also grow stronger and stronger. Once they reached level 100, the soul would naturally evolve into an Inner Spirit.

Trying to place an ordinary soul into the body of this lower Demon God was almost impossible.

And even if it somehow succeeded, that soul still would not be able to control the body.

Aiden took a deep breath.

The reason he asked that question was because he had suddenly thought of Liam.

More exactly, he was thinking of the WraithGoust inside Liam’s body.

If Goust, who had deep knowledge of souls, could make this lower Demon God’s body “come back to life.” then if Aiden killed it afterward, there was a chance it might trigger the 10,000x critical hit system.

Even if killing it that way did not count as killing an Abyss Demon God-rank being, it would still be better than killing Ethan.

“What if it works? What if killing it this way counts as killing a lower Demon God and triggers a 10,000x critical hit? What would happen then?” Aiden could not help thinking.

That was a lower Demon God.

Deep down, Aiden had a feeling that if this really worked, it might actually trigger the ten-thousand-times critical hit.

He did not even dare imagine how much experience he would get, or how many rare materials he might receive.

“Whew…” Aiden let out a long breath and slowly calmed himself down.

For now, this was only a possibility. As for how to actually do it, and what the chances of success were, he still needed to find Goust.

Some time had already passed since the Global Reclasser Exchange Tournament. By now, Robert’s side had probably finished investigating which humans had their bodies taken over by Wraiths.

This timing was very good for Aiden. If he waited much longer, the Wraith Goust might be killed by human powerhouses.

“I need to get back to Earth as soon as possible.”Aiden’s eyes flickered as he looked at the lower Demon God’s body, full of anticipation.

Then he turned to Ethan, who was still trapped in the crater, and used Divine Golden Sunflame without hesitation.

A blazing mass of golden fire instantly appeared in front of Aiden.

Damian carefully studied the Divine Golden Sunflame and slowly said,

“Aiden, you’re only level 50, but this Demon Duke is level 90.”

“Even though I’ve already pinned him down and he can’t move or dodge, it still won’t be easy for you to actually hurt him.”

“How about I weaken him a little first?”

In Damian’s view, Aiden’s attack would most likely not do any real damage to Ethan.

“No. I need to kill him by myself if possible.” Aiden quickly shook his head.

He had finally gotten a chance to kill a level 90 Demon, and he did not want Damian getting too involved and causing something unexpected to happen.

Besides, he was wearing the Ring of Bane of All Races, which gave him an incredible 132% damage bonus against the Demon Clan.

With that thought, Aiden did not hesitate at all. He immediately controlled the Divine Golden Sunflame in front of him and sent it flying toward Ethan, who could not move.

“Ahhhh!” Ethan suddenly let out a terrible scream from the bottom of the crater.

All he could do was watch the golden flame burn his body and cause unbearable pain, while he remained completely helpless.

“Aiden, I’ll kill you! Ahhhh! I’ll kill you!” Ethan screamed like a madman.

His health bar began to slowly drop.

When Damian saw this, his eyes widened. He stared at Aiden and asked in shock,

“How is your damage this high? That makes no sense!”

Ethan was a level 90 Demon Duke.

Not only could Aiden hurt him, but the damage was not low at all.

This was completely beyond what Damian had expected.

Aiden only smiled and said nothing.

As he watched Ethan scream in agony, he suddenly thought of something and said,

“Oh, right. Raphael and the others were killed by me too, at the Abyss Heartspire.”

Ethan’s screams suddenly stopped. His eyes went wide as he stared at Aiden with pure hatred.

“So it was all because of you! This is all your fault! Aiden, I curse you! You will die! Humanity will be destroyed!”

The rage in Ethan’s heart was so strong that, for a moment, he even forgot about the pain.

Because Raphael and the others had died, Ethan had been sent to the Red Dwarves’ territory to carry out this mission, which was how he ended up in his current situation.

Hearing Ethan curse at him, Aiden smiled even more.

He continued, “This is only the beginning. You’re the first level 90 Demon Duke to die by my hand, but you definitely won’t be the last.”

“Ethan, thanks in advance for your help.”

After that, Aiden kept using his skills.

The Abyss Flame Demon Staff in his hand kept glowing as one skill after another appeared and slammed into Ethan.

Boom!

Boom!

Ethan’s health bar kept dropping, and his screams became weaker and weaker.

Aiden also had Faye use her skills, and just before Ethan’s health bar was about to be emptied, he had Faye briefly distract Damian.

At the exact moment Ethan died, Aiden used Hand of the Victor.
