CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 442: LEVEL 4 CITY LORD AUTHORITY!

He sensed that with time, he would grow stronger, so he needed to stall, to stall until he was strong enough to defeat the Nameless King, and his abilities were perfectly suited for delaying!

[You can’t catch me!]

He suddenly appeared in the high sky, having abandoned the thought of fighting, only wanting to use all his might to evade.

But at that moment, an extremely ominous feeling surged into his mind, as if he was being watched by some horrifying entity?

He couldn’t help but close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly found the scene before him had changed.

A blood-red moon appeared in front of him, like the eyes of an Ancient God staring at him closely. Just a glance made his mind, heavily protected by defenses, tremble violently.

The next second, a cold touch came from his neck, a scythe was placed against his throat.

Who, who is it! How could they appear without a trace—

"Fall."

The old Hunter swung the Funeral Blade, and Eliphas, who was nearly immune to physical attacks without a corporeal form, once again felt the pain of his body being torn by the blade, not only the body but it felt like even the soul was ripped open!

His body instantly plummeted from the high sky, and when he opened his eyes again, the moon had long disappeared, as if everything earlier was just an illusion.

[Stay, stay steady!]

Eliphas struggled with all his might to stabilize his form, yet at that moment, two roars louder than any Dragon Roar before echoed beside him, and he saw two massive Ancient Dragons, bodies like rock, launching an attack imbued with red and black lightning!

The two distinct colors of lightning exceeded his damage mitigation limit, and though he suffered major damage, his will drove him to stand up, but at that moment—

"Roar—"

A roar even greater than that of the two Ancient Dragons, like an eruption of lava in its extreme fury, yet brimming with an unstoppable kingly demeanor.

The sky was suddenly covered by lava and red lightning, the lightning engulfed the sky raining fire mercilessly scorching Eliphas’s body, as if the end of the world!

The owner of this dragon roar did not appear, yet it already made everyone tremble with fright.

Flames suddenly ignited, and a giant wearing a crown broke through the clouds, its majestic figure appearing even larger in the fog.

Giant King Yum’s enormous blade fell heavily, shattering Eliphas’s final bit of strength, the latter sinking deep into the fractured ground.

At this moment, the people watching this real-time broadcast were all shocked to numbness, Luluwo’s hand almost unable to be lifted, she looked at the ground where Eliphas had fallen and said:

"Has, has it ended?"

A piercing humming sound suddenly rang out, and endless purple starlight suddenly flowed out from the large hole Eliphas had crashed into!

Brilliant, exquisite, mysterious, yet full of eeriness! From it, one could feel the cold breath of the cosmos.

Eliphas’s body flew out from the hole, and bathed in the purple starlight, he had shed the appearance of a muddy mess, instead transforming into a body composed purely of starlight, like a visitor from beyond the stars.

And his will, at this moment, was also manipulated by the starlight, leaving him in a bewildered state.

[The right body, the right time, I shall re-establish connection with the Earth]

An unfamiliar voice emerged from the starlight body, if Ainz III were here, perhaps he could detect it, this was the aura of that unknown existence!

He, he personally descended?

[Yet this body is too fragile, we’ll temporarily avoid its edge]

"Eliphas"’s body flickered continuously, seemingly wanting to escape, could he actually have a way to leave the Dungeon immediately?

[Farewell, Sain, we shall meet again in the future—]

"Trying to escape?" Gong Qiying’s voice suddenly rang out.

The sound of breaking air exploded, a large arrow enveloped in faint purple magic power pierced through the clouds, in a moment pinning the starlight body to the ground!

[Haha, pointless]

"Eliphas" was about to laugh, however, the large arrow suddenly transmitted gravity magic strong enough to crush mountains, forcing his body to kneel on the ground unprepared!

[How is this possible, this body and the circulation of the stars coincide, magic shouldn’t have an effect!]

The unknown existence uses the Meteor Shower to create a connection with the Earth; when the stars circulate, he can connect to the Earth, the faster the stars’ circulation, the stronger the power he can descend with.

[Wait a second!]

Not only "Eliphas" in the Dungeon, even the unknown existence beyond the sky voiced extreme confusion.

[The stars... have been stopped?]

"Yes, because I have a General who can seal the stars." Gong Qiying muttered to himself, releasing the last summoned existence.

Yet, unexpectedly, this existence seemed very plain compared to the previous ones, and people had also seen it before.

It was the Black Swordsman, the Black Swordsman you could meet in the Casas Underground Tomb.

Facing the starlight, the Black Swordsman drew the Dragon-slaying Giant Sword.

Gong Qiying liked symmetry, since Eliphas was cosplaying Griffith once, then let the Black Swordsman finish it.

The unknown existence controlling "Eliphas" was stunned for a moment, it looked around the Sain Dungeon, as if to imprint it deeply in its mind.

Then, its head suddenly tilted.

In the next second, the radiant starlight vanished, and mud once again appeared on Eliphas, as if falling from heaven back to hell.

He confusedly opened his eyes, seemed still unclear about the situation.

How was he suddenly pinned to the ground by a large arrow? Where did the Black Swordsman come from?

Did I lose consciousness just now?

"Did it... escape just like that?"

Even Gong Qiying couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.

He thought the starlight, clearly not Eliphas’s own will, might fight to the death, or say some harsh words before leaving, so he could let the Shattered Star General show his power.

Yet the unknown existence just ran off like that, ran off...

"Need to investigate what path that guy came from."

Gong Qiying waved his hand, dispelling the large arrow pinning Eliphas, the latter though freed from confinement, had also lost almost all his abilities, already burnt out.

The mud fell, and crawling out of the mire was the half-human, half-eagle, neither human nor ghost Eliphas.

This ugly appearance was vastly different from the elegance and grace he once pursued.

He looked at his bizarre, dried-up body, his eyes trembling violently, unable to utter any sound, left only with hatred for the world.

"Sain, Sain ah ah ah!"

The mud on the ground suddenly transformed into a longsword, and with an almost manic emotion, he lunged at the Black Swordsman, this last strength burning with all his might was not to be underestimated, even Elite Monsters would be——

"Boom!"

The sound of iron breaking through the air came, followed immediately by the sound of flesh being torn apart.

"Slash—"

Eliphas’s mouth opened wide, his body powerlessly kneeling on the ground, he looked at his right hand, the entire right hand holding a weapon along with the shoulder had been severed, deformed organs squeezing out from the wound.

This moment was just like that moment, the scene before him strikingly familiar.

The first time he fought the Black Swordsman, it seemed to be this scenario, but the opponent merely shattered his weapon and didn’t kill him.

It seemed, it was like this when he fought Elsa too? She and the Black Swordsman both spared his life.

And at this moment, the sword finally struck him, no longer holding back.

He powerlessly knelt on the ground, even though the hatred in his heart could transform into flames to burn the world, he could no longer stand up.

Perhaps this was his end.

Haha, Sain was strong, if he died here, it wouldn’t be so bad...

The Black Swordsman raised his weapon toward Eliphas.

Then, he slashed down.

And right at that moment, Gong Qiying, in the outside world, saw something, suddenly murmuring to himself:

"The ending work, it seems it should be left to the victims."

Outside, a staggered figure walked into the battlefield.

It was Hero Elsa.
