Chapter 354: Dark Demon’s White Cat and Gray Cat (4k)
Every BOSS in the Saint Maryan underground city was not rootless.
They were all manifestations of history, having left their mark vividly in the wheel of time.
Tudor Leon Keynes Sart knew nothing about his past experiences.
But the instinct for battle still lay dormant in every cell of his body.
When he sat upon the pale throne made of bones, he occasionally heard the sound of battlefield horns and fighting. The fragmented memories entangled his heart, causing him to sink into eternal darkness in endless recollection.
Until the iron door of the treasure vault was pushed open.
The white light that seeped through the cracks caused him to feel repulsion.
But as the feeling of repulsion rose, more memories leaked out from the gaps.
It was a season when scorching sun blazed, and a city shrouded in black fog.
The roars of monsters and the low growls of undead creatures ravaged the battlefield as the black fog spread.
Blood, sacrifices, slaughters…
When darkness covered the sky, the world would never see daylight again.
The glory of the demons would sweep across the continent.
Conquer…
Conquer!
…
The bull-headed named Tauron and the lion-headed named León suddenly opened their eyes under the stimulation of the white light.
The bull’s eyes were as red as blood, brimming with madness and slaughter.
The lion’s eyes were as golden as the sun, filled with reason and pressure.
The two-headed demonic man named Tudor Leon Keynes Sart sat on the bone throne, a dark red giant axe stained with blood leaning beside him, waiting quietly for the unexpected visitors.
…
Ten first-year students squeezed through the narrow gap of the iron door.
Behind the iron door lay an ancient and magnificent hall. The vast space over twenty meters high made the young students feel as if they had entered a land of giants.
The pillars standing inside the hall were thicker than several people could embrace, and the walls, emitting a musty smell, still retained unclear frescoes.
Despite the value being greatly discounted due to the severe damage, one might still sense the remnants of history with careful study.
Emma Maltis was immediately captivated by the frescoes carved on the walls after entering. She couldn’t help but recall the complete set of frescoes she and Dark had documented together, whose mysteries remained unsolved, still serving as a bond between them.
Sarah Swati remained silent about it.
As the daughter of an ancient sage, she had seen too many similar things, and common relics no longer aroused her curiosity.
However, most of the students cautiously hid behind the golems, watching nervously.
Dark led the way, with the demon beast at the forefront.
In that instant, stepping over the iron door, there was a feeling of crossing endless time.
The white light from the crack drove away the darkness within the hall, illuminating half of the chamber.
The space of this treasure vault was even more expansive than imagined.
The depths where light could not reach were still pitch-black.
Gazing into it felt like being pulled into the darkness, leaving a faint sense of terror lingering in one’s heart.
…
“Demon Beast.”
The demon beast nodded slightly upon hearing the command and immediately charged forward.
As the eternal vanguard, the demon beast’s “instant teleportation” allowed it to quickly escape danger and return swiftly.
Entering the darkness was as natural as a fish in water for it.
Dark stopped, blocking the students who wanted to continue moving forward.
He had limited knowledge of the students other than Diana and Rose and could not reasonably allocate their decks in such a short time.
But what they were facing was ultimately just a BOSS on the second level of the dungeon.
Under normal circumstances, the level of this BOSS would not exceed the second tier.
That is, the highest being six stars.
Although the BOSS could obtain a constant stream of power from the dungeon, making its basic attributes far higher than ordinary golems, especially the mana representing life, which was astonishingly abundant.
But as long as it remained within the second tier, there was no fundamental change.
Dark pondered strategies to deal with it, keeping his mind active.
But in an instant, his expression changed drastically. A streak of light flew out from the darkness and entered his magic card.
Demon Beast, end!
…
In just a moment, before even a sound could be made, the Demon Beast was already dead!
Dark did not have time to inject mana to inquire about the situation when he saw the strong blood light burst forth from the pitch-black darkness!
In an instant, the darkness was dispelled, and the crimson blood light illuminated much of the hall.
A gold and iron clash of killing intent surged towards the ceiling.
The three-meter-tall two-headed demonic man still sat on the bone throne, but the double-handed giant axe leaning beside the throne was now held in one hand, pointing forward!
The dark powers wrapped around the blade were rapidly absorbed, making the blood light on its surface even stronger.
With a stomp, a metallic clang echoed.
As the sound waves spread, the intense killing intent burst out instantly, radiating outward almost visibly, piercing through the bodies of the young magi.
“Aah!”
Four students in Sarah’s group and Tudor’s group turned pale instantly. The female student from the Mana Academy who had been full of curiosity earlier hugged her head and screamed, her body trembling violently.
Her scream froze the atmosphere.
Even the female student from Tudor’s group couldn’t help feeling scared.
“Aaaah—”
A second later, the chubby Pisten also screamed, but when his hoarse voice rang out, the female student from the Saka group stopped screaming.
Though the other young magi were sweating profusely, they managed to hold back.
Saint Maryan’s students were not ordinary people; they endured the terrifying killing aura.
If ordinary people were here, they might have collapsed in fear on the spot.
But even so, the young magi’s hearts were still branded with fear.
“Is this a BOSS?”
Sweat dripped down Dark’s forehead.
This two-headed demonic man’s aura was even stronger than Vlad the vampire.
Even the dragon they encountered while searching for treasure in the secret passage did not have such an imposing presence.
Let alone the vampire count summoned by Vlad.
If one had to compare, perhaps only the Moon Goddess who revived in the Moon Temple could match it!
Yet, the pressure they felt from it and the Moon Goddess was completely different.
And this was just a BOSS on the second level of the dungeon!
“Is it really just the second tier?”
Dark called softly, and Deoxys had already walked to his side, fully focused on the two-headed demonic man on the bone throne.
“It could instantly kill the Demon Beast, likely using the method of increasing strength mentioned by Senior Fernando. The attack power burst in that moment must have exceeded 4000 points.”
“And to make the Demon Beast unable to use instant teleportation suggests it has a fatal skill for instant control.”
“I wonder if it’s on cooldown.”
“Also, we need to pay attention to its huge axe.”
Thinking deeply, Dark suddenly focused and shouted.
“Be ready! It’s getting up!”
…
The Demon Beast’s instant death ignited Dark’s fighting spirit.
He flicked his fingers, holding two magic cards between his index and middle fingers.
The other students, reminded by him, also prepared immediately.
Emma summoned “Gold Coins Beetle.”
A giant orange bear appeared beside Diana.
Sarah held a secret rite card.
Rose also summoned “Möbius Beetle.”
At that moment, the two-headed demonic man stood up from the throne.
Its body was robust, with extremely wide shoulders, muscles as hard as rocks on its arms, and thick, long fur covering its entire body. Clothing only covered its lower waist.
The bull head and lion head on its neck were particularly ferocious.
Though unarmored, the two-headed demonic man’s body was covered in scars, clearly signs of honor.
After standing up, the bull’s eyes in the two-headed demonic man glowed red with blood.
“Conquer!”
It issued a low roar, its ferocity becoming even more violent.
Blood light flowed from beneath its eyes, spreading along its shoulders, wrapping around its right arm, merging with the dark red giant axe, like a blood totem, bursting into blood mist.
Its right arm swelled visibly in the blood mist, power surging.
Perhaps this single strike of its arm had instantly killed the Demon Beast!
After completing another round of charging, the two-headed demonic man raised the giant axe and stepped forward.
Its legs moved slowly, but each step was wide.
After a few steps, it suddenly started running, crossing half of the hall in an instant, then leaping forward with the giant axe in its right hand, smashing it fiercely toward the crowd!
…
Without any unnecessary prelude, this BOSS didn’t even utter a conventional opening line; its eyes were only on slaughter.
But the young magi, who had prepared in advance, instantly scattered at Dark’s shout.
When the two-headed demonic man fell from the sky, only one person remained in the shadow it cast.
Dark Demon did not scatter.
He looked up at the rapidly descending two-headed demonic man, his eyes cold and terrifying.
Since some point, he no longer panicked at this level of danger.
“Meow.”
On either side of his body stood two cats.
The gray one on the left was Meow, and the white one on the right was Deoxys.
Deoxys was fully focused and ready.
Meow was clearly eager to fight.
“Now.”
Seeing the two-headed ogre start to descend.
Dark calmly said, “Meow, Star Shifting.”
No sooner had he spoken than he and Deoxys retreated, leaving Meow alone to face the terrifying two-headed ogre.
“Meow!”
Meow’s voice was unprecedentedly振奋 (excited).
It stomped its feet, its small but agile body rising upright, fearlessly facing the two-headed demonic man with mountain-like aura, slowly lifting its hands!
Though the young magi had been warned by Dark, seeing this scene of futility still shocked them.
The lion head of the two-headed demonic man showed surprise, while the bull head became even more frenzied, seemingly thoroughly enraged by the kitten’s provocation.
Its right arm burst with blood mist, swelling once more.
But Meow, seeing this, licked its tongue, revealing a bloodthirsty look.
White light bloomed in its palm, gradually enveloping its entire body.
Lethargic eyes focused, tightly locking onto the rapidly falling giant axe.
“Meow!”
A roar erupted!
Meow lifted its hands, using the “empty-handed against white blade” technique to catch the giant axe, pinning the blade with both palms, rendering it immobile.
Streams of light spun in its palm, the attack values displayed on the magic card skyrocketing, exceeding 4000 points!
“Moo!”
The two-headed demonic man’s feet finally slammed into the ground, shaking the earth.
The bull head roared in shock, the right arm exerting force crazily.
But no matter how hard it tried, there was a strange softness at the point of impact.
Meanwhile, the gray-furred Meow fully unleashed its strength, channeling the borrowed power back into the two-headed demonic man.
In everyone’s stunned gaze,
the petite Meow, despite its size, managed to lift the giant axe, using it as a fulcrum to raise the two-headed demonic man holding the axe!
Even when the two-headed demonic man’s feet left the ground, it failed to react.
Its heavy body was lifted into the air, turning in a circle before being smashed back down without resistance.
For a moment, the two-headed demonic man seemed to fall into a dream.
But the immense impact felt when it hit the ground was real.
Delayed by nearly half a second, both heads let out screams simultaneously.
“Boom!”
The entire hall trembled.
The mana that constituted life like a golem plummeted instantly.
The killing aura of the two-headed demonic man was forcibly dispersed.
Even though mana was still abundant, its essence was destroyed, leaving it no longer capable of the initial intimidation.
…
“Meow.”
Having completed this feat, Meow suddenly released its grip, flipping backward to land gracefully, its hands clasped behind its back, exuding a powerful aura.
The young magi watching intently suddenly saw Meow extend another hand, holding a dark red giant axe!
The giant axe that the two-headed demonic man had clung to even when lying on the ground inexplicably appeared in Meow’s hand.
Meow grinned triumphantly, sensing the immense power contained within the axe. If it could harness this power for its own use…
But suddenly, its palm went empty; the giant axe had been taken away.
“Meow?”
Before Meow could rage, it saw Deoxys already wielding two axes, charging like lightning toward the two-headed demonic man about to rise.
With the Sacred Ring’s boost, Deoxys’ attack reached 2400 points, naturally not hindered by a single axe.
During its charge, blood mist overflowed from its eyes, flowing down its arms and merging with the giant axe.
“Boom!”
Blood mist exploded.
Deoxys’ arms bulged, power surging.
Its attack instantly jumped from 2400 to 3400 points!
But its mana was rapidly draining.
