Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Rusty Canyon, Sean chose to part ways with Long Dai and the other two.

He even cruelly refused their request to exchange contact information.

It wasn't simply because he was worried about revealing that he was still a D-rank hero.

Rather, it's unnecessary.

If they are destined to meet again, they will surely meet again in the future. If they are not destined to meet, then there is even less need to exchange contact information.

Sean looked indifferent, while Long Dai and the other two looked extremely embarrassed.

This was the first time they had ever asked a man for his contact information, only to be rejected outright.

A moment of initiative resulted in a lifetime of psychological trauma; they will probably remember this lesson for a long time.

........................

Sean looked at the monster hovering in mid-air not far ahead.

The Magnetic Levitation Snail is a metallic monster that levitates and hunts using electromagnetic induction.

This monster looks like a metal snail, but it has no eyes.

Its outer shell is made of a silver-gray alloy shell with spiral patterns, and it is very hard.

Three magnet-like tentacles of varying lengths hang from the bottom of the shell.

The tips of the whiskers can release bioelectric currents to sense and paralyze prey.

Strictly speaking, the Magnetic Levitation Snail isn't a very strong monster.

It cannot fly autonomously; instead, it generates a strong magnetic field through special organs inside its shell.

It utilizes the magnetic force generated by its interaction with surrounding metallic materials to achieve adsorption and levitation movement.

Its attack pattern is also very simple: it shoots out magnetic anchor cables at high speed to firmly attach to the target.

Then it instantly releases a high-voltage current to paralyze the opponent, and then uses a hidden mouthpiece located under the shell to suck up the opponent's flesh and blood. As long as you are careful, very few brave people will fall for it.

Sean discovered the magnetic levitation snail shortly after entering the Rusty Canyon.

A sudden burst of Ice Shards shot out from his fingertips.

"Pfft!"

Accurate hit.

The ice-piercing technique firmly embedded itself in the center of the magnetic levitation screw's rotating vortex-shaped outer shell.

"Crack...crack-crack—!!"

A piercing sound of metal freezing and shattering.

The magnetic levitation screw was killed, lost its magnetic force, and fell straight to the ground.

The magnetic levitation conch, with most of its body frozen, crashed to the ground like a block of frozen metal with a dull thud.

The magnetic levitation snail didn't drop any items, and it only provided one experience point.

Sean didn't care about any of that.

"Blade Demon Resurrection Technique!"

A beam of light fell on the maglev snail's corpse on the ground, causing it to shatter and three blade demons to emerge from it.

They are hunched over, their bodies covered with hard metal plates, their joints have a lot of gears and tubular structures, and the edges of their claws gleam with a cold metallic light.

Pale blue lightning crackled in his eyes.

"It's actually... a mechanical-style blade demon."

Sean raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise.

At this moment, the three mechanical wind blade demons silently turned to Sean and bowed their heads slightly.

Sean casually waved his hand, and the one closest to him immediately stepped forward, stopped within his reach, and stood with its head bowed.

He stretched out his right hand and gently tapped the metal plate on his chest with his fingertips, making a soft "clanging" sound, feeling its hardness.

Next, his gaze carefully swept over the exposed gear joints and pipes.

Finally, his gaze lingered on the eye sockets that were crackling with pale blue electricity.

"These mechanical blade demons are interesting."

He muttered to himself and released his grip.

The mechanical blade demon immediately and respectfully retreated to its original position.

That tiny maglev snail corpse summoned three complete blade demons.

It is clear that the effect of this skill has little to do with the size of the corpse provided.

"That makes things easier..."

Sean can carry as many small monster corpses as possible to summon Blade Demons at any time.

"Different types of corpses will ultimately summon different types of Blade Demons."

This time, the corpse of a mechanical monster was used to summon a Mechanical Wind Blade Demon.

What if we used other types of monster corpses?

The results will definitely be different.

Unfortunately, Sean didn't bring any extra monster corpses, so he couldn't make an attempt.

………………

Sean's mechanical blade demon army was quickly formed.

However, he didn't summon more than 80; he currently has fifteen mechanical blade demons guarding him.

Meanwhile, his storage pocket contained a large number of monster corpses.

He can summon a large army of more than 80 mechanical blade demons whenever needed.

"So... I can pretend to be a summoner now?"

Alternatively, you could pretend to be a mechanic skilled in monster modification.

The monster corpses in the storage pocket are mostly Magnetic Levitation Snails, but there are also quite a few Magneton and Gear Monsters.

Both of these monsters are Steel-type Pokémon from the Pokémon system.

Like the Magnetic Slug, the Magneton and Gear Monster are also weak and small.

Unless they encounter a group of monsters, they are unlikely to pose much of a threat to the heroes.

Thanks to Long Dai's selfless contribution, Sean found a location where these types of monsters frequently appear from the information she shared.

"Speaking of which, wasn't it a bit too much of me to refuse to add Long Dai's contact information earlier?"

Thinking back to the surprise and anger Long Dai felt after being rejected, this woman probably hates me to death now.

But he soon stopped caring.

Women, you know!

Too much trouble.

This creature can only affect his sword-drawing speed.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether he and Long Dai will have another chance to meet after this.

With fifteen mechanical blade demons clearing the way, Sean's journey through the Rusty Canyon proceeded quite smoothly.

One monster after another was easily slain by the mechanical blade demon, which had no way of getting close to Sean.

Not all mechanical blade demons use claws as weapons.

Of the fifteen mechanical blade demons, five wield their own claws as weapons.

Of the remaining three, three used machetes as weapons, and five wielded heavy geared battle axes.

The most special ones are the last two—

Their arms have very different structures, with a compact mechanical crossbow mounted at the front.

Compared to other mechanical blade demons, these two blade demons wielding crossbows are clearly stronger.

Although there are only two of them, they account for more than 40% of the kills.

A mage's hand picks up the fallen items from the ground.

Next to the dropped item was the corpse of a gigantic mechanical monster.

This is a Chimera Beast.

A mechanical monster with a steel gear skeleton that is formed by constantly devouring and fusing metals.

The most basic form of this monster resembles a steel beetle.

However, its back is not a carapace, but rather a collection of dozens of closely meshed living gears of different sizes.

It can multiply by consuming metal. After consuming enough metal, it will digest and reorganize the metal to generate new gears, armor or weapon components on its body surface.

Therefore, each Chimera is unique in appearance.
