I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"What...what is this?" Steel Shield slumped to the ground, frantically gulping down healing potions while staring dumbfounded at the scene before him.

The colossal creature called the Destroyer is currently fighting against three Molten Giants all by itself in an unreasonable manner.

The giants' lava hammers pounded on it again and again, but each blow caused less than 1000 damage.

Compared to its 35,000 health points, this attack is incredibly weak!

In contrast, the Destroyer's two drill arms spun rapidly, creating a piercing whistling sound. Each attack left deep scratches on the Molten Giant's hard body, though the damage was not as high as that of the Molten Giant.

However, the Destroyer's attack frequency is much higher!

The enhanced elite monsters that had originally put the five-person team in dire straits, and which even top-tier tanks couldn't withstand, were now being easily stopped by the Destroyer, which might even be able to wipe them out.

"BOSS... Boss summoned a BOSS?" The voice of the Beast Friend trembled. He pointed at the Destroyer and looked at Li Wu with awe and disbelief in his eyes.

He himself is a summoner and is well aware of the power and limitations of summoned creatures.

His Rock Hound was considered quite resilient among pets of the same level, but it couldn't even withstand a single hammer blow from the Molten Giant.

But the thing Li Wu summoned... it's a fucking monster!

Arcane Light was completely dumbfounded. She murmured, "I've never heard of Arcane Archers having summoning skills... and, moreover, being able to summon a boss?"

This completely contradicts her understanding of the Origin Realm's class system.

Arcane Archer, shouldn't they be a ranged attacker? When did they gain such an overpowered summoning ability?

All three of them turned their gazes toward Hua Zitong without prior arrangement.

In their view, Hua Zitong, as a top player on par with Li Wu and one of the earliest teammates, must know some inside information.

However, they discovered that Hua Zitong's expression was no better than theirs.

She was also staring at the Destroyer in shock, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

Hua Zitong's heart was also in turmoil.

Of course she recognizes this thing.

【Destroyer Norton】, a hidden boss deep within the Blackwind Mine, is known for its high defense and its ability to instantly kill enemies across the entire screen after going berserk.

But how did Li Wu manage to summon it?

No, that's not right.

Hua Zitong's gaze fell on the blue energy core on the Destroyer's chest.

She suddenly remembered a widely circulated post on a forum from her previous life, posted by a veteran engineering player, which mentioned a theory—that by modifying the energy core of a mechanical BOSS, there is a very small probability that it can be transformed into a controllable mechanical servant.

But... this falls under the scope of engineering!

Could it be that he studied engineering in just a few days?

Hua Zitong's gaze shifted to the nonchalant Li Wu, and the absurd thought in her mind became clearer and clearer.

"Li Wu," she couldn't help but ask, her voice slightly hoarse without her even realizing it, "you... Destroyer, where did you get this from?"

The three members of Steel Shield immediately perked up their ears; this was the question they most wanted to know.

Li Wu's gaze remained fixed on the battlefield, as if summoning a BOSS as a henchman was a trivial matter.

Hearing Hua Zitong's question, he turned around and explained in a flat tone, "Oh, this."

"I went to Blackwind Mine a few days ago to do a quest and killed it on the way. It dropped an engineering blueprint that said it could be modified, so I gave it a try, and I didn't expect it to succeed so easily," Li Wu said casually.

But his words left the others completely stunned.

Just... kill it while you're at it?

The three members of Steel Shield twitched at the corners of their mouths as they soloed a level 30 world boss. Is this the true strength of a master?

Hua Zitong pressed further, "Your engineering background..."

"Oh, I just got promoted to intermediate level a few days ago," Li Wu replied.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The scene was deathly silent.

Steel Shield, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend were completely numb.

They felt as if their brains had stopped working.

Intermediate Engineering?

Oh my God!

Not only is he the top player in the entire server in terms of level and equipment, but he has also reached the intermediate level in his secondary profession!

Is he even human?

Hua Zitong also fell silent.

Intermediate Engineering...

It turned out to be the case.

Although it's still outrageous, it's at least a reasonable explanation.

She looked at Li Wu intently, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

There was shock, there was admiration, but more than anything, there was a sense of powerlessness.

She originally thought that with the advantage of being reborn, she could guide Li Wu and help him reach the peak step by step.

But now she realizes she was wrong.

Li Wu doesn't need anyone's guidance; he can reach the peak on his own.

Do I still have any value in his life?

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the battle on the battlefield was drawing to a close.

Under the Destroyer's fierce attack, the three Molten Giants were forced to retreat, and their health was quickly depleted.

With three angry roars of defiance, their bodies collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of burning ashes and a few glowing spoils of war.

The battle is over.

The Destroyer stopped its attack, the red light in its single eye dimmed, and then it walked back behind Li Wu with heavy steps, standing quietly.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

Its health points were still about one-third remaining.

Li Wu didn't even fire a single arrow.

"Let's go pick up our things," Li Wu said calmly to the still-dazed crowd.

"Oh...oh, okay!"

The three then realized what had happened and hurriedly went forward to collect their spoils.

Being able to follow such an unfathomable leader, they began to believe in Hua Zitong's promises, thinking that their future would be full of infinite possibilities.

Hua Zitong also put away her distracting thoughts, and her eyes became firm again.

No matter how strong Li Wu becomes, she must stay by his side.

Because only she knew how terrifying the enemy the world would face ten years from now.

And Li Wu might be able to accomplish that.

What she had to do was solve all the problems on his path to adulthood, even if it was just guiding him or picking up his equipment, she would do it willingly.
