Chapter 437 - 436: Volcanic Tyrant Greatsword

Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Volcanic Tyrant Greatsword

Alix’s expression immediately turned serious.

This, would undoubtedly be its strongest.

The surrounding Law of Strength surged violently.

The countless invisible threads governing the Law emerged once more, but this time there were incomparably more.

They descended from every direction.

From the collapsing heavens.

From the broken earth.

Even from the surrounding space itself.

Everything converged toward the Lord.

The surrounding world groaned.

Mountains collapsed under invisible pressure.

The rivers of magma flowing across the battlefield were compressed until they became solid stone.

Even the falling boulders froze in midair before slowly being crushed into dust.

It was as though the entire world had become unbearably heavy.

The Lord slowly brought its palms together.

Between them, a tiny golden sphere appeared.

It was no larger than a marble.

Yet the moment it formed, the surrounding space immediately caved inward.

Everything nearby was drawn toward it.

The shattered palace.

Broken mountains.

Countless fragments of stone.

Even the surrounding mana.

Everything was dragged toward the tiny sphere before being compressed into pure energy.

The terrifying pressure continued increasing.

Even Alix’s Tier 7 gauntlets emitted faint groaning sounds.

Alix slowly exhaled.

A smile appeared on his face.

"So this is your strongest attack."

"I won’t insult it."

Mana erupted from every corner of his body.

This time, he didn’t fuse four techniques.

Nor five.

One after another, tier 6 elemental techniques manifested around him.

Flames.

Lightning.

Wind.

Earth.

Water.

Ice.

Metal.

Wood.

Each technique rotated around him like celestial bodies surrounding a star.

Until dozens of different Tier 6 techniques surrounded his body.

Under ordinary circumstances, such a feat would be impossible.

The conflicting elements would annihilate one another instantly.

But Alix’s understanding had long surpassed common sense.

With the experience of a former Tier 10 expert, he forcibly controlled every strand of mana with flawless precision.

The techniques gradually merged.

The fusion continued until every technique became one.

The surrounding battlefield trembled violently.

The fused technique radiated an aura that no longer resembled a mere Tier 6 Skill.

Its power had already stepped into the realm of peak Tier 7 skills.

Alix slowly raised both hands.

A massive sphere of swirling elemental energy appeared before him.

Inside it, flames roared, lightning danced, hurricanes howled.

Mountains rose and crumbled, and frozen rivers collided with molten stone.

Every basic element continuously created and destroyed one another in perfect balance.

It resembled the birth of a miniature world.

At that exact moment, the Lord made its move.

It pushed the tiny golden sphere forward. The sphere quietly floated through the air.

Its speed wasn’t particularly fast.

Yet wherever it passed, reality collapsed.

Everything within its path was compressed into absolute nothingness.

Alix smiled.

"Let’s see..."

"...which is stronger."

He thrust both hands forward.

The miniature elemental world shot across the battlefield.

The two attacks met.

Silence.

For one fleeting instant, nothing happened.

Then, the world exploded.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

A blinding light swallowed everything.

The underground kingdom vanished beneath an endless storm of destruction.

The remaining mountains disintegrated.

The fractured ceiling finally collapsed completely, revealing the crimson sky far above.

Shockwaves spread outward for hundreds of kilometers, shaking the entire dungeon.

Outside, across the ruined demonic city.

Countless Lesser Demons, Tempters, and Minor Lords had only just begun to reform through the dungeon’s power.

Before they could even fully materialize...

The terrifying shockwave swept across the city.

Everything was erased.

Buildings collapsed.

Ancient walls crumbled.

The very landscape was reshaped.

Deep within the explosion, a figure suddenly burst through the collapsing light.

Alix.

His silver gauntlets blazed brilliantly as he crossed the remaining distance in an instant.

The Lord had exhausted nearly all of its strength in its final technique.

Its Law had weakened.

For the first time, an opening appeared.

Alix’s eyes sharpened.

"This ends now."

Every remaining strand of elemental energy gathered around his right fist.

His fist struck the Lord’s chest.

BOOM!

The already fractured crimson armor shattered completely.

Cracks spread across the Lord’s body.

Its eyes widened.

The cracks rapidly multiplied.

Until its entire body resembled broken glass.

The Lord silently looked at Alix.

For a brief moment, there was neither hatred nor anger within its eyes.

Only acknowledgment.

Then, its body shattered into countless fragments of crimson light.

The High-Level Tier 7 Lord...

The ancient ruler of the forgotten demonic city, had fallen.

Silence returned to the ruined world.

Alix remained standing amidst the collapsing battlefield.

He slowly lowered his fist and looked at the place where the Lord had disappeared.

A satisfied smile crossed his face.

"That..."

He let out a quiet chuckle.

"...was worth the trip."

The silence lingering over the battlefield lasted only a few seconds.

Then...

Rumble...

The ruins of the underground palace began trembling once again.

The violent shaking wasn’t caused by the battle this time.

Instead, it felt deliberate.

Almost as though some ancient mechanism had finally awakened after remaining dormant for countless millennia.

The shattered throne at the center of the battlefield suddenly emitted a faint crimson glow.

Ancient runes hidden beneath the rubble lit up one after another.

The enormous pieces of broken obsidian slowly shifted on their own, sliding across the ground with deep grinding noises.

Click...

Click...

Click...

The runes formed an intricate circle.

Then, with a thunderous rumble, the floor behind where the throne had once stood slowly split apart.

Dust poured into the newly formed opening.

A massive stone staircase gradually rose from beneath the ground.

Its sides were decorated with countless carvings depicting the rise of the ancient demonic civilization.

Majestic armies marched beneath banners.

Lords sat upon towering thrones.

Unknown rulers stood above entire worlds.

Although many of the carvings had been weathered by time, the overwhelming sense of history remained.

Alix glanced at the staircase.

"So..."

"The prized of defeating the boss."

Without hesitation, he stepped inside.

The further he descended, the quieter everything became.

The destructive sounds from the collapsing battlefield gradually faded until only his footsteps echoed throughout the ancient passage.

Several minutes later, the staircase finally ended.

A pair of enormous golden doors stood before him.

Unlike everything else within the dungeon, these doors remained completely intact.

There wasn’t even a single scratch upon their surface.

Ancient demonic symbols were engraved across both doors, while countless precious gemstones had been embedded into the metal.

Each gemstone still contained astonishing amounts of mana despite the passage of countless years.

The doors slowly opened on their own.

Creeeak...

An enormous treasury revealed itself.

Even Alix paused for a brief moment.

The chamber stretched for several kilometers.

Towering shelves lined both sides of the room.

Weapons...

Armor...

Skills and Spells...

Refined ores...

Rare herbs sealed within crystal containers...

Every corner of the treasury overflowed with treasures.

Many had long since lost their spiritual energy after countless ages.

Others, still radiated astonishing power.

Among them, one particular aura immediately caught Alix’s attention.

Resting upon a black stone pedestal stood a magnificent greatsword.

Its blade was forged from dark crimson metal that seemed to contain flowing magma beneath its surface.

Golden runes continuously circulated across the weapon.

The surrounding space distorted ever so slightly simply from its presence.

A translucent System window quietly appeared.

[Volcanic Tyrant Greatsword

Tier: 7]

Alix quietly examined it for a few moments before smiling faintly.

"A Tier 7 weapon."
