Chapter 434 The Rich Rewards for Breaking Through the Demon Realm
"I've been wanting to see you so much, Arya!"
"...No, I'm not Arya!"
"You are the sister of heaven, my sister, singing praises to the Stormblade is my last supper!"
The voice that gave Ais a headache echoed in her mind, like a completely unresponsive child, an evil being that only wanted to fulfill its own desires. "Come, let us become one."
Whispers filled with endless malice, the evil seduction seemed to transform into countless giant hands, dragging her consciousness into a dark swamp, endlessly sinking... Ais's thoughts became increasingly blurred, her senses were stripped away, and her body fell into an endless abyss of despair.
Just as her soul was about to be devoured.
A warm and gentle light tore through the darkness of the eternal night, illuminating her gradually dimming world.
"come out!"
A warm, strong hand firmly grasped her cold little hand; that familiar touch and voice instantly awakened Ais's numb mind. Then, that large hand roughly pulled her out of the viscous, dark abyss.
The girl regained her sight and returned to reality!
Ais's beautiful golden eyes reflected Roy's face so close to hers, glistening with tears, a deep emotion lingering in her heart. "Ais!"
Upon seeing Ais rescued, cries of joy rang out, and Finn, Riveria, and Grace, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this through the Eye Crystal, the gods on the surface erupted in a thunderous cheer.
"Well done, kid!!"
Loki excitedly wrapped his arms around Hestia's neck, unconsciously tightening his grip. Hestia's face turned pale; she was being strangled, almost suffocating. She was the one suffering. Hestia felt a pang of blood in her heart, secretly vowing never to sit next to Loki again.
Ais's eyes swept over Finn, Rivera, and the others, her heart overflowing with gratitude. They were all people who had fought to rescue her. Finally, her gaze settled on Roy. "Roy, thank you!"
Roy turned around and said, "Although you've just escaped danger, the battle isn't over yet!"
Ais followed Roy's gaze and saw the Killing Emperor. Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, a trace of fear appeared on her small face, and she subconsciously gripped Roy's hand even tighter.
Roy took a rapier from his spatial ring and tossed it to Ais. "Treat her like a monster!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Ais caught the rapier, just like an obedient little girlfriend, and activated her skill "Revenge Princess"!
Roy sensed that the blonde beauty's attitude was a bit ambiguous, but with the big battle imminent, there was no time to investigate further.
boom!!
The moment he rescued Ais, Roy no longer needed to hold back on the tainted fairy's heart. With a flick of his finger, a terrifying bolt of lightning, carrying divine might, struck the still-writhing giant heart.
A deafening explosion resounded!
Terrifying lightning bolts drilled in through the opening and exploded violently inside the filthy heart, scattering countless huge chunks of charred flesh and foul-smelling blood everywhere, turning the entire heart into a pool of smoking dust.
Roy's ruthlessness was so great that even the Killing Emperor couldn't react in time, let alone stop him.
Having lost Ais, a second-generation fairy with deep blood ties to him, and the corrupted heart of his energy center, the Killing Spirit Emperor's aura suddenly plummeted. "Roy!!"
The beautiful and alluring face of the Slaughtering Emperor could no longer maintain its feigned calm. Her face turned ashen, and her eyes flashed with uncontrollable shock, anger, and pain. An unprecedented aura of violence rose around her like a storm.
The Killing Emperor is still LV.10, but has lost the energy supply from his heart, resulting in a decrease in his healing ability.
With the addition of Ais, who has a special attack against monsters, to the extermination team, the situation seems to have improved, but that may not actually be the case.
The level upgrade effect has ended; Leon has returned to LV.8, and everyone else has dropped back to LV.7.
Chun Ji, who had been slapped away by the Slaughtering Emperor, felt as if her body was about to fall apart. Her cracked lips could no longer utter a sound, nor could she chant. Information was shared.
Roy knew information about the Filthy Fairy.
The latter, through Dionysus, also knew all the publicly available information about Roy and his group on the surface.
The Filthy Fairy knew very well that two people were crucial to this expedition: Roy, the core of the team, and the fox-girl who could collectively increase combat power and transform into a LV.9 Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
The moment she made contact with Chun Ji, if she hadn't been busy dealing with Roy, who wanted to destroy her heart, the Killing Emperor would have definitely killed this fox-person. Even so, she still seized the opportunity to damage Chun Ji's vocal cords.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
After drinking two bottles of legendary elixirs, Chun Ji's physical and mental strength recovered significantly, but her damaged vocal cords could not be repaired in a short time. "I'm sorry, Lord Roy, I'm so useless..." Chun Ji's eyes were glistening with tears, as if she was telling Roy that she was useless. Roy cast a look at her to comfort her.
Following the cat people, Haruhime withdrew from the battlefield.
Finn, Grace, Leon, Tione, and Liu all bore injuries of varying degrees. From the very beginning, they had endured the most ferocious firepower from the filthy fairies. Without the Heavenly Elixir and Amid's continuous use of healing magic, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Roy glanced at the situation on the field; it wasn't optimistic. The Demon Realm was still the opponent's home turf, and if this dragged on, no one knew what would happen. Moreover, Roy was also worried about something else…
Roy asked, "Where is Dionysus?"
The Slaughtering Emperor was taken aback, a mysterious smile appearing on his bewitching and twisted face. "Who knows? Maybe here, maybe on the surface!" Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
Despite the escalation of the situation, the evil god Dionysus has remained completely hidden. The unsheathed sword is the most terrifying weapon; they have no idea what conspiracy he is secretly plotting.
"Since that's the case, then you can die!" Roy no longer hesitated and clicked to use the LV.9 trial card!
The LV.9 trial card obtained from hunting Shalltear was a decent trump card, temporarily boosting his combat power. Roy had originally planned to use it on the Filthy Fairy, and now was the perfect opportunity.
[LV.9 trial card has been used, limited to half an hour. Please note the remaining time!]
Name: Roy
Rating: 9
Strength: 1340 (SSS)
Endurance: 1469 (SSS)
Dexterity: 1438 (SSS)
Agility: 1396 (SSS)
Magic Power: 1656 (SSS)
An unprecedented and terrifying power erupted within Roy's body, surging wildly to his limbs and bones, as if every cell had been strengthened.
He instantly leveled up to LV.9, and that was at his maximum ability value!
Because it's a trial card, the physical and mental differences are forcibly erased, leaving only the ultimate experience.
"Roy... what is that aura?"
In that instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Roy, their keen intuition allowing them to perceive the astonishing and dramatic changes in the boy.
It was as if an ancient ferocious beast had suddenly awakened!
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy's figure vanished into the void in an instant, without any warning of spatial fluctuations.
"Spatial magic? I'm tired of it..." On her home turf, the Slaughtering Empress was confident she could handle Roy's unpredictable movements. But the result was far beyond her expectations!
When Roy reappeared, he was beside the Slaughtering Emperor, and the elven holy sword slashed down fiercely.
"What!" A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and the Slaughtering Emperor was startled. Her instinct for danger made her subconsciously raise her arm to block!
The razor-sharp blade of the elven holy sword tore a deep, bone-revealing wound into the Slaughter Emperor's snow-white arm, spurting out dark green blood. In excruciating pain and rage!
The Slaughter Emperor twisted his waist sharply, unleashing a spinning kick carrying terrifying wind pressure and crushing force, the whip-like shadow sweeping towards Roy's head. Previously, Roy wouldn't have been able to dodge it; a LV.8 couldn't possibly fight a LV.10 monster head-on!
The situation is completely different now.
Roy raised his arm to block.
boom!
Their legs and arms crossed, and two earth-shattering forces collided violently. The terrifying force was transmitted to the ground beneath their feet, and then exploded wildly centered on the two of them. The hard ground was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and countless rocks were shattered into dust and shot into the sky!
Surprisingly, Roy didn't back down!
To date, no one has been able to withstand the Slaughter Emperor's attacks head-on; Roy is the first.
Sensing the power in Roy's arm, the Killing Emperor's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "Impossible!"
This power is in no way inferior to hers!
The Killing Emperor's ability value has reached LV.10, and ordinary LV.9 players, such as Leon before, are no match for him. However, Roy is different; his ability value has broken through the limit!
Numerically, it is enough to rival a higher-level existence!
More importantly, this trial card is stronger than the previous LV.7, and its development capabilities are synchronized.
LV.9 corresponds to A-level development capability!
Roy's seven development abilities—adventure, forging, abnormal status resistance, invulnerability, domineering strike, combo attack, and domineering light—have all reached an unprecedented A-rank! "I'm stronger than you now!"
Like a hunter who has been lying in wait, Roy revealed his cold fangs, and the Dragon Dagger in his hand transformed into a deadly cold star, piercing towards the chest of the Slaughter Emperor.
"Awaken, Storm!" The Slaughter Emperor reacted extremely quickly, chanting at super-fast speed. His fist was wrapped in a storm that distorted space, and he slammed it into the tip of the sword that was thrusting towards him. It seemed like a very unwise choice to use his fist to directly confront the Dragon's Short Blade.
That is, she did not use any enchanted magic.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy frowned, activated his magic, and spatial fluctuations appeared before his figure mysteriously vanished once more.
boom!!
The Slaughter Emperor unleashed his fist.
The swirling storm tore apart everything in its path, like the cumulative effects of weathering over time.
In the next instant, Roy appeared behind the Slaughter Emperor, channeling his power into the Elven Holy Sword and forcefully striking the Slaughter Emperor in the back. *Sizzle!*
The Holy Sword, imbued with a special attack against filthy immortal essences, had its sharp blade tear through the Killing Spirit Emperor's skin and muscles, which were harder than oresite, leaving a gruesome sword wound.
The Slaughtering Emperor staggered and nearly fell.
"Damn it!!" The Slaughtering Empress gritted her teeth, finding it hard to believe that she would lose to a human?
A superior teleportation combined with unparalleled agility! This is Roy's strongest tactic. No matter when or where, after teleporting, he always has the advantage of striking first. In fact, the Slaughter Emperor's response is extremely fast. The Demon Realm is the opponent's home ground, offering a 365-degree view. If Roy's reaction is even slightly slow, he will be caught.
Intuitive!
With his ability to foresee the future, Roy's eyes remained calm; he only wanted a swift resolution.
Ripples of spatial fluctuation spread, and Roy's figure flashed past the Slaughter Emperor, his holy sword and short blade continuously inflicting damage on him. In the blink of an eye, the Slaughter Emperor was covered in blood.
The Slaughtering Emperor was in a sorry state, his hatred overflowing. His hair, which had been hanging down to his feet, hardened and wrapped around his entire body, forming a defense without any blind spots. Only in this way could he deal with Roy's strange spatial magic.
boom!
The Elven Holy Sword and the Dragon's Short Blade struck the Killing Emperor's long hair, but instead of producing the expected sparks, Roy's swords were deflected. Roy frowned; this defense, surprisingly, used softness to overcome hardness, even more astonishing than his previous LV.10 defensive magic.
"What did I see?"
"Spanning three levels, he's aiming for the heavens!"
"What did Roy do to Shuang Nie again?"
The fierce clash between Roy and the Slaughtering Emperor left everyone present, including the gods on the surface, stunned. Their mouths gaped open, and their eyes nearly popped out. A single-target suppression of the LV.10 Slaughtering Emperor!
The gods were dumbfounded; their previous understanding could not be applied to the boy at all.
"Haruhime's magic... no! It's an even more powerful technique..." Hermes recalled Roy's solo battle against Freya's Familia on Daedalus Street. This kind of ability probably can't be used often, what a pity.
When the Slaughtering Emperor was suppressed by Roy, the brain of the filthy fairy in this demon realm began to exert its power.
"Destruction from afar, the promised land, salvation from the heavens, summoned in the name of God!"
Just then, the filthy brain on the ceiling, protected by the LV.10 Absolute Shield, saw its internal green flesh coalesce, forming six immortal remains. These immortal remains floated in mid-air, resembling six rings with their origins.
A melodious, singing voice rang out, but it caused everyone's expression to change; they were all too familiar with it.
"It's the Six Rings of the Fairy Spirit again!"
"Stop! That's not how you use magic!"
"The pillars were clearly summoned from the heavens."
The gods were furious and worried for Roy and the others, because it wasn't the complete Six Rings of Celestial Essence. The caster was actually six remnants of Celestial Essence, and its power and range were far inferior to those of a real Celestial Essence.
The filthy fairy's target was clearly not the earth's surface.
Instead, it was Roy and his companions inside the sixty-fifth level of the Demon Realm!
"Open, descend, come down—the highest heavens! The sky of calamity!" The song came from her tainted brain, as she also staked everything on this one strike.
The ultimate punishment of annihilation!
The grand spell, which prayed to the heavens for punishment, was transformed into a pure cannon by the influence of the demon realm and the forced conversion of the filthy immortal essence, causing the "Six Rings of Immortal Essence" to unleash a destructive pure white beam of light upon this floor!
Rumble!!
A massive magic circle unfolded from the ceiling, emanating an aura so suffocating that even Roy, temporarily at LV.9, was no exception. If the pillar of light from the heavens were to crash down, Roy would die!
That is a power that does not belong to the lower realm, beyond the scope of human understanding, and is the closest thing to a god.
"Die, you foolish humans!!" The hysterical voice of the filthy fairy echoed throughout the demon realm.
Roy remained unfazed, pointing his sword at the sky. "No matter how powerful the magic is, it must be unleashed. Ryu, Ais, Leon, use Residual Light to destroy it!"
"good!"
The three nodded heavily and gripped their swords tightly.
Facing the "pillar of light from the sky" on the ceiling, which was about to pour down and was filled with an aura of destruction.
Afterglow!
Roy, Ryu, Ais, and Leon simultaneously swung their swords, each stacking magic, skills, and abilities... transforming into four terrifying beams of light that tore through space! These four ultimate slashes, powerful enough to cleave mountains and rip apart towns, intertwined wildly in mid-air, merging into a dazzling platinum sword beam. Layer upon layer, their power surpassed even LV.10!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the sword beam pierced through space, crashing violently into the world-destroying flash of light on the ceiling, instantly tearing apart the shield of the corrupted brain!
As soon as the pure white light of the six Immortal Rings emerged, the platinum sword light engulfed the entire magic circle. The blinding light mixed with distorted energy turbulence, forming a twisted vortex in mid-air.
The surrounding space shattered amidst wailing cries!
The combined power of the four finally neutralized the incomplete pure white flash of light.
The massive magic circle vanished into nothingness!
The filthy fairy's brain was buzzing. A level 10 shield, a filthy brain, six fairy rings... The adventurers of this era are truly beyond imagination!
Surrounding the boy—Roy—they weren't fighting, they were making history!
boom! boom! boom!
To prevent the filthy fairy from causing further trouble, no one dared to hesitate any longer. Roy, Ais, Liu, Tione, Finn, Riveria, Grace, Leon, and Allen all acted simultaneously without hesitation!
In an instant, the destructive magic radiance, the sword light that tore through space, the fist shadow that shattered mountains, the holy flame that burned everything, the ultimate condensed slash... all the strongest attacks from everyone, carrying endless rage, bombarded the Slaughter Emperor's defensive hair!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
A deafening explosion and energy surge swept across everything. The incredibly resilient, pale hair net, brimming with filthy magic, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain under their relentless combined bombardment.
The glaring cracks instantly spread across the area.
Amidst a chilling shattering sound, it utterly collapsed, turning into countless pale fragments flying everywhere.
thump!
The Slaughtering Emperor was blasted out, disheveled and completely lacking the elegance he had displayed upon his arrival. Having lost his brain and heart, his aura plummeted. The entire Demon Realm teetered on the brink of rampage.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy appeared before the Slaughtering Emperor, the elven holy sword pressed against his neck, radiating a chilling light. "Looks like you've lost, you filthy fairy!"
The Emperor of Slaughter's pupils trembled.
Having been transformed into something filthy, she had long forgotten about death; what she could not accept was failure!
The paradise promised to the heroes is not yet complete!
Seemingly realizing something, the Slaughtering Emperor revealed a smug smile. "It's useless. This Demon Realm still exists, and I am eternally indestructible!" "Hahahaha!"
Essentially, she has become part of the dungeon, the master of this floor, and even if she is killed, she will be resurrected like the floor master! This is her purpose in assimilating the entire floor!
Facing the smug Killer Emperor, Roy's lips curled into a slight smile. "You really control this floor? Then you must have seen 'her'!"
"she?"
Paralyzed on the ground, the Slaughtering Emperor looked up at the young man before him, feeling a sudden sense of unease. The young man seemed shrouded in mystery. "What are you talking about?" the Slaughtering Emperor asked in surprise.
"Just pretend I'm talking nonsense!"
Seeing the Slaughtering Empress's reaction, Roy said no more, swiftly wielding his elven holy sword. Countless cold lights sliced the Slaughtering Empress's body into pieces. Amidst endless screams, she was torn to pieces!
The latter stared blankly at Roy, and the elf girl, Ais, Riveria, and Tione beside the boy... She still lost to the hero!
Roy said, "Alphia, destroy it!"
"It's finally going to end!"
Alphia's cherry lips parted slightly, "...My fate, loved by this artificial world, may it all be shattered to ashes! I hate you so much, and the price is here: with this evidence of your crimes, destroy everything. Weep, Holy Bell Tower!"
Extinction - A Prayer!
Roy brought Alphia back for this very reason; when it comes to destruction and violence, the members of Zeus's and Hera's kin are more adept. *Whoosh!*
As Alphia finished her incantation, a vast and boundless magical power erupted from her body, its dazzling golden light illuminating the entire demon realm. Like liquid gold, the surging torrent of magic converged wildly in mid-air, instantly forming a colossal holy bell that blotted out the sky. Thump! Thump! Thump!!
The golden holy bell swayed gently, emitting countless magnificent and soul-shattering sounds. Visible golden bell waves, like a world-destroying tsunami sweeping across everything, spread outwards in all directions from the bell as its center.
Wherever Zhong Bo passed, space wailed and collapsed!
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy grabbed Ais, quickly cast a spell, and teleported everyone to Alphia's side.
"The Gray-Haired Witch's Holy Bell..."
The murmurs of the filthy fairy spirits brought an end to the terrifying magic of Leviathan, the overlord of the sea, with unparalleled destructive power.
The devastating golden waves, like an unstoppable raging torrent, swept across the entire floor, engulfing the ubiquitous green flesh.
All objects instantly turned into powder!
As the astonishing golden waves subsided slightly...
Upon closer inspection, the entire vast demon realm cave had undergone a complete and drastic transformation!
All protrusions, obstacles, and even the folds of space were flattened by the terrifying tolling of the bell, revealing a desolate and barren wasteland. All traces of the filthy immortal essence were completely erased, leaving not a single trace of green flesh.
Even the "Calamity" Zagnat, born from the massive destruction of the building, was crushed into powder by the golden Zhongbo before it could even roar. "Whoosh!"
Roy breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the tainted fairy only controlled the surface; it didn't truly master the floor, or rather, it couldn't. The difference between him and the tainted fairy was that he plundered, stealing the dungeon's power, while the tainted fairy integrated itself into the floor—a world of difference.
