Novel Full Chapter 193 - The Cost Of One's Wish
In another building in the vicinity of the auction house, Ligma Bawles, the Wolf King, decimated the Hunters that surrounded the Leopard King.
"The Wolf Queen—King, I meant the Wolf King has come to help, Leopard King," Ligma Bawles corrected.
"And the Leopard King is thankful for that, Wolf King," Leopard King expressed his gratitude before he noticed the Wolf King's nails, causing his lips to twitch subconsciously.
"What's up with your nails, Wolf King?"
"Hm?" The Wolf King glanced at his painted nails with extensions before he said, "What is a Wolf King without his claws?"
"But does it need to be decorated? Makes one question your sexual orientation," Leopard King said with furrowed brows.
"That—No, never mind that," Ligma Bawles shook his head and stated objectively, "What's important is to get you out of here. I've come to—"
Puchi!
A rock flying at hypersonic speed shot through the Leopard King's head in a similar fashion to the Lion King.
Plop!
The Leopard King dropped dead on the floor shortly after.
"F*ck."
Ligma Bawles spat.
…
Ding!
<+20 proficiency in Basic-level Throwing>
<Basic-level Throwing's proficiency: 142/1000>
…
The system notified.
"Oh? 20 proficiency points?" Albion was surprised before he muttered, "Seems like the trickier the shot that hits the target, the more proficiency points earned out of it… I should shoot like this more often."
Shortly after, Albion picked up another rock and placed it on the tip of his thumb, took aim in another direction, and flicked!
Swish—!
The rock flew at lightning-fast speed!
Puchi!
The head of the Bear King went poofed after being struck from behind without warning! The speed of the attack was too fast for the person to offer any form of resistance!
Plop!
After the Bear King died, the remaining thugs felt weak in their knees and dropped to the ground with despair.
"It's over… The Lion King and Bear King were killed so easily. The sniper is too strong. Just what kind of firearm can fire projectile this quickly? Even our reinforced vision cannot catch a glimpse of it…"
"It's not over yet! We still have Wolf King, Leopard King, and Mr. Reiner! Let me check on them!" A thug said optimistically before giving a quick call with the Bear King's phone.
The call connected before the thug was overjoyed.
"Mr. Reiner, it's great that you are still alive! Please be careful! The Bear King and Lion King have been taken down by the master sniper!" The thug quickly warned.
"Please inform the Leopard King and Wolf King to be careful as well!"
"No need. The Leopard King is also dead! Round up the men on your end and meet up at D point! Remember to keep out of sight—!"
Crash!
Mr. Reiner's phone suddenly dropped to the ground before the thug no longer heard anything further from the person.
"Mr. Reiner? Hello? F*ck, the sniper got Mr. Reiner too!" The thug cursed with frustration while feeling a sense of defeat and helplessness.
"What should we do now?" Another thug asked.
"What else? Follow Mr. Reiner's plan and meet at D point to retreat while keeping out of sight! We still have the Wolf King!" The thug stated.
"You're right! If we keep out of sight, we have a higher chance of surviving—"
Puchi!
The thug was also shot dead by another by a rock pellet.
…
<+17 proficiency points in Basic-level Throwing>
<Basic-level Throwing proficiency: 196/1000>
…
"Pew, pew, pew! Die, die, die!"
Albion began flicking rock pellets with his thumb and took out the thugs one after another as his proficiency depreciated in points with each headshot.
"You can run, but you can't hide," Albion spat.
Wuxin and Sally had baffled looks as they watched the boss's thumb remaining still while the rock pellets disappear like magic.
Albion's thumb was too fast for their eyes to even register its movements.
'If I can control lightning power and flick metal coins, it'll be cooler,' Albion thought as he continued to flick rock pellets and finish off the remaining thugs within his sight.
Of course, there was an incredibly powerful lightning power dwelling inside him. However, it cannot be controlled…
Ding!
<10th Tribulation Lightning's movements detected>
<You have been infused with 10th Tribulation Lightning>
<Your next attack will contain the power of the 10th Tribulation Lightning>
…
The sudden notification came too abruptly as sparks of electricity ran up and down Albion's body, causing his dashing long white hair to defy gravity and stand up.
Albion's eyes widened with a startled look!
Before he could recover and think straight, it was already too late! The rock pellet had just left his thumb in that instantaneous instance!
Zinggg—!
The rock pellet flew with a white flash of lightning before it shot through one of the upper floors of a tall building with a dozen thugs on it!
Vroom—!
The building's upper floor disappeared along with all the thugs inside as the empowered rock pellet continued its trajectory, breaking out of the atmosphere and shooting into deep space!
As expected of the 10th Tribulation Lightning's power, the rock pellet was shot into deep space—even without the power of his True Immortal cultivation!

"…"
Strings of notification came one after the other as unfortunate interstellar creatures dwelling among the stars were caught in the crossfire.
The unexpected assistance of the 10th Tribulation Lightning allowed Albion to haul in a large amount of EXP despite the deduction of wasted EXP once more.
However, Albion felt no joy in it.
"No…"
After the Albion recovered from the shock, his expression turned ugly as he held his hair and cried, "No! God, no! Don't do it, please!"
Alas, all his hair still fell off and disintegrated into nothing, turning him bald with a sparkling smoothness once more.
"Not my hair again!!!"
