Chapter 79: The Playground (10/10), Aleron's Plan (1)
"One is despair and the other is death, die!" the slim muscular Demonic knight uttered before a black long sword appeared in his hand and he dashed towards Aleron.
Aleron didn't bother with this attack, even though it was a Death-attributed attack.
It struck his Magilore Slime Armor and was blocked with ease.
Meanwhile, the attack of black wraiths was strange as those wraiths entered inside him, trying to harm his soul and showing him despair with mental interference.
'Interesting,' Aleron's eyes glinted as he stored this attack's data in his mind so that he could recall it and understand it later.
*Swoosh!*
Outside, his transformed katana slashed forward after leaving his hand, releasing a burst of frost wave that instantly froze both Demonic knights before exploding, shattering into pieces.
The 4th task was already finished and the 5th had begun since he found the location of Demon Lord.
[Defeat the Demon Lord]
Aleron grabbed his sniper rifle and pointed at the castle.
'An energy construct of Death, Darkness, and Flame.'
'Extreme condensation of energy in aspects' sections.'
'Focus on the Burning of Flame syllabus, Vital Siphon of Death syllabus, and Corrosion of Darkness syllabus.'
'Orb-shaped projectile.'
'Dome-size range execution.'
Aleron designed the bullet for the sniper rifle and aimed it at the Demon Lord's castle. "Human!
Red and black lightning crackled around the castle before a familiar figure appeared above the castle, his size even bigger than what Aleron saw in the trial.
Demon Lord Jargus
"You again?" Aleron grinned as the magic rifle's pattern lit up. "Well, you ain't getting time to hit me this time."
'Let's go above 100 million Magilore this time,' Aleron thought as he swiftly infused the Magilore for the bullet skill.
Meanwhile, Demon Lord Jargus roared and conjured a giant demonic black spear flickering with red and black lightning before shooting at Aleron.
At the same time,
'150 million Magilore...for the Ravager's Ruin Bullet.'
*Swoosh!*
The bullet, flickering with neon colorful light highlighting black and flame-red, streaked across the sky towards the Demon Lord while getting bigger and bigger!
At 0.1 seconds, it was a thumb-sized bullet.
At 0.2 seconds, it became a car-sized bullet.
At 0.3 seconds, it became a house-sized bullet!
At 0.5 seconds, it became a football field-sized bullet!
The spear and bullet passed by each other.
However, an ethereal starry wolf's maw appeared behind Aleron and absorbed the entirety of the spear and its power while the gigantic bullet squarely struck the demon and his castle!
*BOOOM!*
In the next second, Demon Lord Jargus and half of his castle were enveloped in a giant black sphere whirling with raging red and black flames, obliterating him and everything else speedily!
"NOOO!" Demon Lord Jargus roared, but this bullet's power overwhelmed him as his defense was destroyed the moment he tried to conjure it.
In the next second, he was entirely obliterated...again.
Outside, people roared and cheered at the big spectacle of power they just witnessed!
"Such power..." Melkern muttered with intense fear and reverence in his eyes. "Is there anything in this world that can defeat him?"
"Even the Goddess Champions are not this powerful as far as I know," Marcus said with a weak smile.
Both of them were in Marcus's office as they witnessed the whole Dread-mode series where Aleron absolutely destroyed all things that would normally kill them.
"Well, now that this Dread-mode series is open, I would love to go in," Melkern said with narrowed eyes. "There's much to learn and practice using this unknown technology. It's a good tool to make people powerful."
"That aside, what about his so-called surprise?" Marcus asked. "Ben told me he has a plan of his own to reveal at the end."
"No idea," Melkern shook his head. "He did agree to this, and the way he agreed also gave me a feeling that he made a plan of his own after I gave him that suggestion."
Marcus nodded as he looked at Aleron on the screen, "It seems that we can only wait and see."
...
"Ladies and gentlemen! That marks the end of today's playground, but it is not over yet! We still have a big surprise waiting, from none other than Young Master Aleron!" Aleron opened his eyes and got up from the chair as Ben flew down and arrived beside him.
"That was fun. A good exercise session I would say," Aleron stretched his arms and said with a smile.
The audience cheered and talked loudly, though their voices were drowned by each other as most of them were shouting in response to what Aleron just said.
"Young Master Ale, you said about a surprise. I wonder what it is?" Ben curiously asked as the audience swiftly quieted down to hear.
"I have two surprises," Aleron said with a grin. "Before that, let me ask you all something. Did you like the skills I used?"
Everyone cheered and roared in agreement, even people from various parts of the city who were watching, especially youngsters who were raring to become strong adventurers. "Hahaha, since that's the case, then I shall create five skill scrolls and put them as a prize for the next playground," Aleron said with a laugh. "Those who win can take the scroll home and
learn the skill!"
"Oho? What would be the ranks of those skills?" Ben curiously asked.
"Two S-rank skills, two SS-rank skills, and one SSS-rank skill," Aleron grinned, "with the
SSS-rank skill being that Ruin Blaze Rifle that I used."
Instantly, a huge uproar echoed throughout the stadium.
The players were dumbfounded and excited as well.
"Holy shit! I want that Ruin Blaze Rifle!"
"That rifle is crazy, yeah! I want it too!"
"I am not getting that one, so I am curious about SS and S rank skills!"
"I liked that Vine Torrent skill. It was so cool and powerful. I wonder if young master Ale will
make a skill scroll of that one."
People were heated talking, but Ben spoke again as everyone quieted down.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Don't forget that we have one more surprise from Young Master
Ale!"
Aleron smiled and nodded, his arms crossed. As soon as the public quieted down, he began speaking, his voice echoing loud and clear, "The second surprise is quite big."
"So bear with me, people," Aleron grinned and pointed his finger upward. 'I have enough knowledge, and I also scanned the other portals. I should be able to do it.'
"From now on, this city is going to change forever," Aleron said, his smile looking brilliant and his eyes sparkling.
