Chapter 73: Battle IV
Molten Slime’s body was heavily damaged.
However, it immediately used Magma Devourer.
The remaining molten material around the battlefield was pulled into its body.
Its body became larger and denser.
Molten Slime then used Magma Storm.
A massive storm of molten rock and fire erupted around the Devil-Contracted King.
The demon king was forced to defend himself.
Grand Blood Warlock joined the attack.
"Bloodstorm."
Blood and magma filled the battlefield together.
Marina controlled her holy mist between the two attacks.
She created several dense streams of holy water and directed them toward the Devil-Contracted King.
The boss was attacked from every direction.
Kaiser continued firing Light Bullets.
He did not waste mana on his strongest skills.
Instead, he kept attacking the damaged areas of the demon king’s armor.
Eventually, one of the Light Bullets struck the dark symbol on his chest.
The Devil-Contracted King suddenly staggered.
Kaiser noticed it.
"The contract."
He immediately focused his attacks on the symbol.
"Light Bullet."
"Light Bullet."
"Light Bullet."
Dozens of Light Bullets struck the same location.
Marina understood what Kaiser was doing.
She concentrated her holy mist around the contract symbol.
The holy water began burning through the demonic energy protecting it.
Grand Blood Warlock used Blood Spear and Blood Bolt to keep the demon king from moving.
Molten Slime used Molten Spikes to pin down his legs.
The Devil-Contracted King struggled to escape.
He destroyed the blood spears and broke the molten spikes.
However, the attacks had already created enough time.
Kaiser raised both hands.
"Golden Radiance Wave."
A huge golden wave struck the demon king’s chest.
The contract symbol cracked.
The Devil-Contracted King staggered backward.
Kaiser immediately followed.
"Purifying Radiance."
The beam of holy light struck the cracked symbol.
The dark symbol began breaking apart.
The Devil-Contracted King released a massive amount of demonic energy in an attempt to protect it.
Marina increased the density of her holy mist.
The holy water surrounded his entire upper body.
Grand Blood Warlock activated Blood Sacrifice.
A large amount of his own blood was consumed to increase the power of his next attack.
"Grand Blood Lance."
The enormous blood lance appeared.
Grand Blood Warlock launched it directly at the demon king.
The lance struck his chest.
At the same time, Molten Slime used Lava Burst.
A huge explosion of molten material erupted beneath the Devil-Contracted King and launched him into the air.
Kaiser looked up.
"Now."
He gathered a large amount of mana.
"Purifying Radiance!"
A powerful beam of holy light struck the demon king in midair.
The cracked contract symbol finally shattered.
The Devil-Contracted King’s demonic aura suddenly weakened.
He fell heavily onto the ground.
Marina immediately covered him with holy mist.
The Devil-Contracted King tried to stand.
Kaiser fired another Light Bullet.
The attack struck his chest.
Then another.
And another.
The Devil-Contracted King finally fell to one knee.
Molten Slime moved forward and used Molten Spikes to restrict his movement.
Grand Blood Warlock created Blood Prison around his body.
Marina condensed the holy mist around his head and chest.
Kaiser raised his hand.
"Golden Radiance Wave."
The golden wave struck him directly.
The Devil-Contracted King collapsed.
Kaiser continued firing Light Bullets until the remaining demonic energy around his body disappeared.
The hall finally became quiet.
Kaiser lowered his hand and looked at the fallen boss.
Several notifications appeared before him.
[Devil-Contracted King defeated.]
[A large amount of EXP has been acquired.]
[You have leveled up.]
[Dungeon clear condition fulfilled.]
[All four Royal Guards have been defeated.]
[Final Boss has been defeated.]
[Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the Fallen Kingdom Dungeon.]
[Dungeon Clear Reward has been generated.]
[An Epic-Rank Dungeon Chest has appeared.]
Kaiser looked at the notifications.
"Finally."
A large chest suddenly appeared near the fallen Devil-Contracted King.
The chest was covered in dark metal with golden patterns carved across its surface. A faint aura of power came from it.
Kaiser walked toward it and examined it.
"An Epic-Rank Dungeon Chest."
He looked at the fallen boss before turning his attention back to the chest.
"Let’s see what I get."
Kaiser opened the Epic-Rank Dungeon Chest.
A bright light immediately came from inside.
Five items slowly floated out of the chest and stopped in front of him.
Kaiser looked at them one by one.
The first item was a black sword.
[Devil King’s Greatsword]
[Rank: Epic]
[Description: A greatsword created from demonic metal and infused with the power of the Devil-Contracted King.]
Kaiser nodded and stored it in his inventory.
"The weapon is pretty good."
He looked at the second item.
It was a dark red ring with a small black crystal embedded in its center.
[Devil King’s Ring]
[Rank: Epic]
[Description: A ring created from the condensed demonic power of the Devil-Contracted King.]
[Effects: Intelligence +200, Mana +2,000, Demonic Resistance +25%, Mana Regeneration +30%.]
"Another useful item."
Kaiser stored it as well.
The third item was a black crystal.
It was constantly releasing a faint demonic aura.
[Devil Blood Crystal]
[Rank: Epic]
[Description: A crystal containing a large amount of pure demonic blood energy.]
[Use: Can be used as a material for equipment, bloodline enhancement, or undead creation.]
Kaiser looked at the crystal with interest.
"This could be useful for Undead Creation."
He stored it carefully.
The fourth item was a dark red skill book.
[Devil’s Contract]
[Rank: Epic]
[Description: A skill that allows the user to form a contract with a target by giving them a portion of their powers while making the target their eternal slave.]
[Note: The Cosmic System will determine the exact effects and limitations when the skill is learned]
Kaiser raised an eyebrow.
"A contract skill?"
He looked at the book for a few seconds.
"This could have some interesting uses."
He stored it for later.
The final item was a small black crystal that looked similar to a fragment of the Devil-Contracted King’s core.
[Devil King’s Soul Fragment]
[Rank: Epic]
[Description: A fragment containing a portion of the soul and power of the Devil-Contracted King.]
[Use: Can be used as a material for equipment creation, or undead creation.]
Kaiser smiled.
"Another soul-related material."
He stored it in his inventory.
After putting away all five rewards, Kaiser also stored the body of the fallen king.
Kaiser opened his Cosmic Sheet.
"Nine more levels, and then I can advance to the next stage," he mumbled as he closed his Cosmic Sheet.
