Chapter 78: The Playground (9)
"Woah, he can even use such skills?!"
"So powerful!"
"Are those monsters really at Primeval rank?!"
"They are, but...he is just too strong."
The public of Arena was watching with excitement, while those in VIP rooms were experiencing a display of might they had never seen before with the goggles.
"And he has done it!" Ben shouted as Aleron killed the Demon Commander and destroyed the fort. 'It's such a good thing that Dread-mode difficulty's first series is Demon Lord's Tyranny.'
'But it makes sense since the Demon Lord Jargus appeared in the trial...wait, does that mean the final boss in this series is also Demon Lord Jargus?' Ben thought and felt that it could very well be the case.
...
[You have completed the 3rd task. Now onto the 4th task.]
[4th task: Head to the Gumgra Dark Mountains and locate the Demon Lord's castle.]
'Gumgra Dark Mountains?' Aleron floated above the burning fort with the destruction caused by battle.
'Where is that place?' Aleron scratched his head but got an idea and flew into the fort, straight towards the Demon Commander's chamber.
The VIP room's people who were following Aleron to watch him also followed while the cube's camera automatically followed him as the public outside showed him going into the chamber and looking at a map on the wall.
Since the audience knew about the tasks, they were more absorbed in watching, excited to see what would happen next, and see more of Aleron's actions.
After Aleron looked at the map and found the location, he teleported outside before manifesting a pair of majestic lightning-energy structured wings, with mixed attributes of flame, wind, and lightning.
This was his new flying-type skill-Storm Traveller Wings, SS-rank!
*Swoosh!*
Alero streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, flying towards the mountain at the speed of Mach 5, crossing 1.7 kilometers per second!
He arrived at the Gumgra Mountains after ten seconds as the scenery took a turn for worse.
Gumgra mountains' formation had four mountains at the forefront that covered 50 kilometers wide area in total with three mountains creating a triangle behind it and a single tallest mountain in the center of these seven mountains.
At the top of that tallest mountain was a majestic demonic palace with its peak structure passing through the dark clouds looming over the mountain range.
'That's Demon Lord's castle, alright,' Aleron grinned and stretched his right hand to his right as something started materializing in his hand.
Seeing that, the audience outside turned excited.
"New skill!"
"Let's see what he brings out this time!"
Aleron had been inside for half an hour, and he had never used the single skill twice, except for the flying skill! This was why Aleron's adventure in this Dread-mode difficulty was super entertaining for all to see.
Aleron's eyes flickered with lights and patterns as he designed the skill with his mind.
After five seconds, the Magilore energy motes gathered around Aleron's hand before turning into a fancy black-lion sniper rifle with a big barrel that had a lion's open mouth design and glowing eyes, along with sleek and fancy red patterns on the black crystal body of the sniper rifle.
'A weaponized medium made of attributes of Darkness Syllabus, Death syllabus, and Flame syllabus,' Aleron grinned. 'I should be able to shoot some fancy skilling shots from this.'
But just as Aleron finished creating his crazy sniper rifle, four lights shot out of the castle towards him and soon floated twenty meters across him.
"So you are the troublesome pest? Humph, your journey ends here because we, the four Demon Knights of Apocalypse will end you today!"
Four humanoids adorned in unique full-body armor arrived, with one being a slim female, one a bulky man, another a tall and slim man, and the last one being a medium lean muscled
man.
All of them were half-step into Ascension rank, termed Semi-Ascension rank. Their stats had officially stepped into Ace-1 and more like that demon Aleron killed with an arrow.
"Four Demons Knights of Apocalypse?" Aleron raised his eyebrows and released his sniper rifle as it just floated to his side.
"Humph, I'll eat you alive!" the bulky demon wearing a dark brown full-body armor with green demonic patterns snorted and arrived before Aleron with his mouth open wide like a
frog.
It released a terrifying suction force along with a dark whirlpool in his mouth.
"STINKY," Aleron shouted and punched the Demonic Knight instantly as he couldn't bear the foul smell that made him revolt.
*Booom!*
Unable to hold back, Aleron instantly blasted the Demonic Knight as the prowess of his punch adorning the Magilore Slime Amor was boosted and destroyed the Demonic Knight as he shot into the horizon like a ragdoll.
'Freaking hell...this is virtual reality. Can't you take this a notch down?!'
Aleron felt like he would throw up all the food he had stuffed half an hour ago.
"Don't attack, I need a moment," Aleron glared at the three Demonic Knights were stood there in shock while he swiftly waved his hand and used some Arcane Syllabus about Nature-
type.
Spending Magilore, he instantly created a bunch of flowers with thick fragrance and took a deep breath with relief.
"Just tell me if you all also stink like him because If that's the case, I'll kill you all swiftly without letting you close in," Aleron said as his hands once again spewed out Magilore motes, indicating that he was designing a skill.
"Don't worry, we don't stink like him," the girl demonic knights said as she walked in the air towards Aleron, her moves were like a sexy succubus coming to eat him and her dark pink armor also matched her vibe.
Aleron's eyes flickered with dark pink light as he was attacked by a strange skill interfering in
his mind.
Suddenly, he saw the female demonic knight in front of him turning completely naked, her tempting figure, her shapely D-cup breasts with pink nipples, the faint slit at her clean nether region, and her temptress smile sent Aleron into a spiral.
Well, his little brother stood up involuntarily.
'Damn! But...' Aleron's eyes flashed clear as he destroyed the skill's effect while his right hand manifested a dark orange katana with a flame-shaped black pattern.
In the next second, he swung the katana in front of him, releasing a tiny but bright spark from its tip that struck the female Demonic Knight.
"What?" the female demonic knight didn't feel anything, but in the next moment, a raging inferno of her size enveloped and spun at a breakneck speed, completely obliterating her. "I call that Inferno Spiral," Aleron said with a smile as he pointed his katana at the remaining two Demonic Knights. "Those flames spin 1000 times in a second with the destructive power of flame and wind combined with highlight on cutting and burning."
"Once your defense is gone, it can instantly obliterate you."
The tall and slim demonic knight trembled and clasped his hand, his armor was light gray with black and dark gold patterns.
"So despairing it is, oh so despairing it is," he spoke with his eyes closed and pointed his palms at Aleron, "Please, do not spread despair to us."
Aleron waited while his Katana transformed into an icy blade with green patterns.
The demonic knight's palms unleashed a torrent of black wraiths towards Aleron. 'Another attack with soul-attribute...it directly affects mind and soul,' Aleron narrowed his
eyes. 'I gotta learn this.'
The libraries he visited so far didn't have much knowledge about the soul path.
It only had basic knowledge, but not about the way to mold it into skills for different effects like the one used by that female Demonic Knight and this slim stick knight.
